The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

On July 14, Queen He Wenfei's coffin was officially moved out of the palace.

The funeral was not conducted according to the Queen's regulations. It was simply held as if an insignificant person had died.

Except for members of the imperial clan, officials did not need to mourn. But in fact, even members of the imperial clan mourned according to their own wishes.

All this is due to the decree issued by the emperor.

Just a few sentences: "He Wenfei was misled and lost his way, and had no moral integrity. He knew that he had committed serious sins and could not accept the will of heaven, so he asked to be deposed and committed suicide to inform the world."

The queen's immorality was the most serious crime. With this decree, the matter of deposing the queen was settled, and He Wenfei naturally could not hold a funeral according to the queen's regulations.

In addition, she chose to commit suicide, which was also a crime of great disrespect, so the emperor's decree could not even grant her her final identity.

It is a pity that this queen, who was known for being loved and respected, died in such a miserable way.

However, in sharp contrast to this decree, the emperor fainted due to excessive grief on the day it was issued.

Everyone in the royal family knew about this matter.

It was precisely because of this fainting that the royal family members understood how important the deposed empress was in the emperor's heart. Therefore, although there was no explicit order, everyone silently mourned in their respective residences to express their condolences for the deposed empress.

During the two days when the emperor was too grief-stricken to handle state affairs, the fourth prince Wu Tianqi knelt in the palace.

For two days and two nights, he didn't drink a drop of water.

It was not until he could no longer hold on that he was summoned into the palace by the emperor.

"Father, I am guilty! Because of a woman, I have implicated my mother... Please punish me!" Wu Tianqi fell to the ground with a sad face.

Perhaps he had been kneeling for too long, for now his hair was disheveled, his face was sallow, and he looked haggard.

The emperor sighed, stood up and walked in front of him: "Get up, you are also too eager to love your wife. Now He has taken all the blame. This matter... has come to an end. Don't mention it again in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianqi looked up in surprise.

He couldn't believe that such a serious crime, a crime for which the queen paid with her life, was so easily covered up by the emperor.

He thought he had heard it wrong, but the next moment, he saw the emperor's hand stretched out in front of him.

The emperor helped Wu Tianqi up and said, "However, this incident has had a very bad impact on the people. I hope you will take this as a warning in the future, properly control the people around you, and not put yourself in an unjust position for personal reasons."

"Your son will follow your father's teachings!" Wu Tianqi spoke hesitantly, obviously not yet recovered from his shock.

The emperor nodded and continued, "You almost made a big mistake in this matter, but the people around you did not play a role in admonishing you. I think they are not up to the task! Jin Fulai, who is beside you, is not young anymore. I heard that he relied on the friendship that he had served with your mother to bully you in your house. It's really hateful! Wang Xian'an has been serving in the palace and is the most conscientious and dedicated. After your mother's funeral is over, I will let him go to your side so that he can help you."

Wu Tianqi asked in surprise, "Is the eunuch Wang who has been serving our mother the one your father is talking about?"

"That's right." The emperor nodded. "You are lacking a steward. I think he is very good."

Wu Tianqi's expression changed.

The steward of his palace now is Jin Fulai, the eunuch he trusts the most. He has been with him since he was young. In addition to being in charge of various affairs in the palace, he also handles confidential matters for him. He is even a few years younger than Eunuch Wang... Now his father wants to replace him with Eunuch Wang, and the deep meaning behind this is self-evident.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wang has always worked hard and made great contributions. I dare not..." Wu Tianqi tried to make the emperor change his mind.

However, the emperor interrupted him with a smile: "It is because of his hard work and great achievements that I am confident in letting him serve you. You are not young anymore, and it will be time for you to attend court meetings in a few days. Once all officials are convinced, I will give you a title."

Wu Tianqi's heart trembled.

After a moment's silence, he knelt down to express his gratitude: "I, your son, thank you for your grace, father."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, then sighed: "I hope you can understand my good intentions."

After that, the emperor had nothing to say.

Wu Tianqi staggered out of the palace, and was greeted by Eunuch Jin, who looked concerned: "Your Highness, does His Majesty blame you?"

Looking at Jin Fulai's genuine worry, Wu Tianqi felt like there was something stuck in his throat and could not utter a word. He could only shake his head helplessly.

"That's good! That's good!" Eunuch Jin let out a long sigh and personally helped Wu Tianqi onto the carriage.

Looking at him busying around, Wu Tianqi felt mixed emotions and slowly closed the car door.

He knew that tonight would be the longest night Jin Fulai had ever spent.
