   Chapter 232 Chaos (2)

  In the dragon eyes of Emperor Yongjia, flames seemed to shoot out, staring at Empress Dowager Zhao's acerbic face.

  This is his mother! Knows his weaknesses best.

   Every word, every word, poked into his heart and lungs.

  From an aristocratic family suzerain to raising a flag to conspire to rebel, he was the first among the heroes to use the banner to establish a new dynasty, and to accept civil officials and military generals from all over the world to surrender, and in just a few years, he built such a large site...

   This is definitely not something ordinary people can do!

As soon as the    assassination case was in front of him, he had already deduced who the real culprit was behind the scenes. Therefore, the farce in the court today made him even more angry.

   He usually opens one eye and closes the other, does everyone really take him for a fool?

   Empress Dowager Zhao looked at her son's anger like fire, and felt a little regretful in her heart. To be honest, I should be more euphemistic. It is really inappropriate to stab my son in this way.

   Empress Dowager Zhao coughed and slowed down her voice: "Aijia said a little too hard just now, don't take it to heart, Your Majesty."

   Don't be so angry!

  Emperor Yongjia said nothing, still glaring at him.

The Empress Dowager Zhao could also put down her body, her eyes blushed quickly, and she burst into tears: "Aijia is really angry when she hears these slandering words of Zhao's family. It's a bit harsh. Don't you want to hold revenge with Aijia? Aijia apologizes to you. "

   "However, the Aijia still said that. The Zhao family would never dare to do anything to assassinate Lu Mingyu. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he might as well order a thorough investigation to the end. If the Zhao family is really involved, the Aijia personally apologizes. This is the head office!"

   After all, I want to protect the Zhao family.

  Emperor Yongjia said nothing, turned around and walked away.

   Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't catch up, so she simply stopped chasing, wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, called the maid who was close to her, and gave a few words in a low voice. The palace maid responded quietly and quickly withdrew.

  Emperor Yongjia had just left on his forefoot when Concubine Qin came on his back.

   "Aunt," Concubine Qin looked flustered and her voice trembled: "How could the Zhao family be involved in the assassination of the Lu family? I heard the news in the court today, and my legs were so frightened that my legs went weak."

  Concubine Qin was in a hurry, and her aunt called out directly.

Empress Dowager Zhao looked unhappy and said in a low voice: "Don't mention it, Ai's family was also taken aback. Just now, the emperor came to Shouning Palace in person and told the Ai's family about the matter. In a fit of anger, the Ai's family said some unpleasant things, and the emperor was Ai Jia is gone."

  Concubine Qin was ambitious, but not so courageous. Now my mind is full of "the emperor must be suspicious of me when it's over", and he is not in the mood to comfort Empress Zhao, so he cried with red eyes: "Aunt, the emperor should not be suspicious of me and A Xian!"

   "A few days ago, I was fined and grounded, and I didn't even take half a step out of the palace gate. After I left the palace, I didn't go anywhere, and I didn't even see anyone outside the palace."

   "Aunt, you know me best. I don't have the guts to assassinate the Lu family! If the emperor suspects and blames me, my aunt has to decide for our mother and son!"

   cried and knelt down.

The Queen Mother Zhao immediately pulled up Concubine Qin and said in a low voice, "What are you afraid of. Things haven't reached that stage yet. Don't say you haven't done anything, just made a mistake on the spur of the moment, and I can protect you all with me here. ."

"Furthermore, it's not right to think about this matter carefully. Mrs. Lu is pregnant, and if something goes wrong, it will cost two lives. Who is the most hopeful of the Second Prince's Mansion, inside and outside the palace? The emperor is not a fool, guess. I guessed it too."

   "The one from Yanxi Palace is still complacent. He thinks that his plan is going well, and that misfortune will be brought to the east. Don't think about it.

   "Look at the emperor's anger. This time, neither mother and son can please!"

   Concubine Qin was both happy and worried when she heard this. After getting up, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said nothing to the Queen Mother Zhao.

  …

  Emperor Yongjia walked out of Shouning Palace in a rage, his face so gloomy that water almost dripped.

   A group of internal servants, silent as a cicada, no one dared to speak out to comfort them, and silently followed behind the emperor.

   I saw that the emperor first walked angrily in the direction of Yanxi Palace, and when he was halfway through, he changed direction again, as if he was going to Jiaofang Palace. Halfway through, I went to the direction of Wenhua Palace again.

  Emperor Yongjia entered the Wenhua Hall, picked up the memorial, and threw it out without reading a few words. The memorials filled with the imperial case were also waved all over the floor. So frustrated, he kicked the chair over again.

  Your Majesty was really **** off.

   Eunuch Liu was a confidant who served Emperor Yongjia for many years. At this time, he was the only one who dared to step forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty calm down, don't get angry and ruin the dragon body."

   "The Ministry of Punishment is conducting an urgent interrogation. Sooner or later, it will be clear. At that time, the truth will be revealed. Why does the emperor feel so sullen."

  Emperor Yongjia twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes were full of haze and vicious anger: "You say, do they all think that I am easy to fool and manipulate?"

   Eunuch Liu: "..."

   Are they talking about Empress Dowager Zhao, Concubine Qin, or the one from Yanxi Palace? Or is it Queen Qiao Su Fei?

   Eunuch Liu carefully considered his words and responded cautiously: "The emperor is very talented, he is a generation of Ming Jun, established a new dynasty, and unified the Central Plains is just around the corner...",

Emperor Yongjia sneered: "I don't want to listen to these flattering nonsense. I ask you, do they think that in the harem, I listen to my beliefs and my mind is confused? Do they think that I can't deal with them because I'm kind and soft-hearted. ?"

   Well, that's for sure.

  Emperor Yongjia was talking about the favorite concubine of Yanxi Palace.

Eunuch Liu became more cautious and bowed his head to answer: "Your Majesty is wise, invincible on the battlefield, and calm and decisive in the court. When you arrive in the harem, you are all the Emperor's people, and it is inevitable that the Emperor will be soft-hearted. A man and a man don't need to stay in the house. What kind of prestige."

   Liu Gonggong said very euphemistically, but the meaning is also very clear.

  Emperor Yongjia really pampered Concubine Meng Gui's mother and son too much.

  Emperor Yongjia fell silent.

   Eunuch Liu didn't dare to say more, and gestured with his eyes, and several of the chamberlains lightly and silently packed up the memorial. Before Emperor Yongjia's anger subsided, an internal servant came to report: "Report to the emperor, Concubine Meng Guifei came to ask for a meeting."

  Emperor Yongjia's eyes dimmed, and he said coldly, "Let her come in."

   After a while, the concubine Meng Guifei, who was carefully dressed and extraordinarily charming, entered the Wenhua Hall.

  The ground is in a mess, and it has not been cleaned up yet. Several chairs that were kicked over are tossed to and fro. The aftermath of this faction's fury fell into the eyes of Concubine Meng.

Concubine Meng Gui looked distressed, stepped forward, and supported Emperor Yongjia's arm: "Why is the emperor so angry. Don't hurt the dragon body." Then, she opened her mouth and told Eunuch Liu: "You all retreat. ."
