The entire palace was silent at this moment.

Prince: "Queen, I want to know what's going on. You tell Gu in detail. Otherwise, Gu can only investigate by himself. If the news leaks during the period, the queen should not blame her."

The queen lost her energy and could only tell the whole story: "When the queen mother gave birth to you, she couldn't conceive because of her body injury. You have been weak and sick since you were young. You are the prince. When you were five years old, you contracted a cold, and the imperial doctor said that you had a [-]% chance of dying."

"Bengong's father asked someone to find a doctor with excellent medical skills to enter the palace. He took out Shenxian powder, and after talking about all the consequences, let me choose. Bengong has no choice but to let you take Shenxian powder. "

The prince was not overwhelmed by the queen's tears: "Even if the queen mother did this as a last resort, why didn't she get rid of Shenxian powder for me afterwards? Is it because the father and the emperor made me the prince because of the strong health of the son? Don't want to lose your more honorable status?"

"Even if you see me tossing and turning, tossed and tossed by a severe headache, with a bad temper, you are still indifferent for the sake of your own status."

The queen cried, "No, that's not the case."

The prince approached: "In order to make my position more stable, let me get married early and give birth to a grandson of the emperor, so that even if I die early because of this medicine, you can still be the honorable empress dowager."

The queen didn't know how to refute, she could only say palely: "No, that's not the case, Qi'er, the queen mother loves you the most."

The look of disappointment in the eyes of the prince has never been seen before: "Mother, you have deceived me."

He took a deep look at the queen and walked away.

The queen felt that something important seemed to have left her.She left behind her previous reserved and dignified manner, and immediately chased after her at the top of her lungs: "Qi'er, don't go!"

She grabbed the prince's sleeve, as if holding on to the last straw, and broke down in tears: "Qi'er, the queen mother is sorry for you."

The prince vigorously waved the queen's hand away, he couldn't stay in this middle palace any longer.

Striding to the door, the emperor, Chu Nian, Zhao Yueyao and his party suddenly appeared.

The emperor's face was sullen: "Nizi, I don't care how arrogant you are on weekdays, but you dare to be so disrespectful to the empress! You are so disrespectful, go back to the East Palace and ground me!"

The prince did not argue at this time, but knelt down to plead guilty: "Yes, father."

The guilt in the Queen's heart at this time had reached its peak. She came over and knelt down, showing a pleading look: "Please don't punish Qi'er, it's because the concubine is not good, and the prince is forced to take a concubine. Love hearing this."

Seeing that the prince received the punishment without saying anything, the emperor actually felt a little uncomfortable.In the past few years, the prince has become more defiant and violent, even the emperor doesn't pay attention to him. The two fathers and sons often argue about things.

If this were not the case, the emperor would not have withdrawn from the position of the prince's household department.

But no matter what, in the heart of the emperor, the prince is still his most beloved child.Since the queen gave the steps, he followed them: "Even if this is the case, you can't disrespect the queen. Go back and confine yourself for a day."

This is equivalent to no punishment, the emperor himself helped the queen up.Although he didn't like the queen, as the main wife, he still gave enough face.

The prince's fingers trembled slightly, and the familiar feeling of tyranny in his body rushed back violently, his expression became more and more condensed: "My son obeys orders."

Seeing his dark face, the emperor felt that the prince must be dissatisfied.The fire that had been extinguished was picked up: "Niezi, who are you showing your face to?"

The originally suppressed anger in the prince's heart burst into flames: "If the emperor is dissatisfied with his sons and ministers, why didn't he continue to visit the Zhaixing Tower with his sixth younger brother, Mr. Zhao, instead of coming to the central palace to lose his temper?"

The emperor was extremely angry: "If I hadn't been in the Zhaxing Building, how could I have seen you being so disrespectful to the empress!"

The prince sneered, and looked at Zhao Yueyao with sharp eyes: "Master Zhao is better than a fortune teller, and he can still be pinched by the emperor."

Zhao Yueyao pretended to be stupid: "His Royal Highness, I don't know what you are talking about. It was a coincidence that your majesty went to the Star Picking Tower, not as the prince said."

The emperor was very angry: "You are still stubborn, come and restrain the prince in the East Palace, and you can't come out without an order!"

With a pale face, the queen watched the emperor leave with a flick of his sleeves.

The situation in Zhao State was changing rapidly, and no one could have imagined that the prince would be grounded one day.On the contrary, Chu Nian, who was not very eye-catching, became a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor.

Zhao Yueyao did not expect that this incident would hit the prince so hard.

Chu Nian held the wine glass in his hand: "The prince has always respected the queen, but now he suddenly learns that his mother regards him as a pawn in a stable position, disregarding his life at all, and must have been disheartened by now."

Zhao Yueyao looked out of the window, half of his expression was hidden by the black night, and he looked very alienated: "It's boring."

Chu Nian smiled lightly: "Yao'er, you've been too tired recently, how about we go out to enjoy the scenery tomorrow?"

Zhao Yueyao refused: "No."

At this time, Changqing shouted from outside the door: "Your Highness Sixth, the Empress of the Central Palace has died! The death knell is ringing in the palace, you should enter the palace quickly."

The two looked at each other: "What?!"

Chang Qing said carefully: "There is a report from the palace that the empress died by swallowing gold."

Chu Nian looked solemn, and immediately put on his clothes: "I'm going into the palace now, Yao'er, as a subject, you go in with me."

In the palace, the entire palace has been surrounded by white silk everywhere, and the palace people changed into white mourning clothes, keeping silent like cicadas.

In the central palace, the queen's coffin was placed on the central hall, the prince was dressed in mourning clothes, and kowtowed expressionlessly. It was rare for the emperor not to call someone to serve him, so he guarded the queen for a few days.

This incident happened so quickly that almost everyone went into the palace to guard the queen's spirit before they could react.

The prince knelt in the middle, and at this time the emperor's heart softened again. He asked the palace servants to help the prince to rest: "Your mother definitely doesn't want to see you so sad, Qier, go and rest. After your mother's funeral is over, I will let you go back to sleep." Back to the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhao Yueyao is still your subordinate."

For the queen's death, the emperor felt guilty.He was thinking, if he hadn't rushed into the middle palace to reprimand the prince, the empress wouldn't be so upset.The emperor's guilt would not be expressed in person, it would only be reflected in some other places.

Zhao Yueyao knelt down, his eyelashes trembling, he couldn't let the prince return to the household department.

Because of the emperor's guilt and persistence, these officials knelt for a whole day, and then had to keep watch.Many of the older ones could not hold on long ago, and only a few young people were still insisting on kneeling.

Such a situation reminded Zhao Yueyao of the time when he was kneeling alone in front of the old prince in Nanyue.It was the same night, calm and windless.

"Master Zhao, the Crown Princess invites you to go there."

A little maid bowed and said respectfully.

Zhao Yueyao stood up, because his knees hurt too much after kneeling for a long time, and he almost fell in an instant.The little maid quickly supported her: "Master Zhao, be careful."

Zhao Yueyao said softly, "Thank you."

The little maid was young, and her face flushed immediately.She supported Zhao Yueyao, and said in a low voice: "Master Zhao, the Crown Princess is full of anger, you have to be careful."

Of course Zhao Yueyao knew that Sang Rou's visitor was not kind, but at this juncture, he couldn't leave and let others catch him.

In the East Palace, Sang Rou sat on it, dressed in white clothes and silverware, with a cold face: "Master Zhao, the master said that if someone can enshrine the clean bottle in the queen's bedroom, the queen will be at peace. Master Zhao is young, you Are you willing to obey the master's words?"

Zhao Yueyao's face was full of mourning: "The empress is a virtuous and virtuous lady, how could I be unwilling?"

Sang Rou smiled indifferently: "Come here, bring the clean bottle."

The palace lady came over with a pure white jade bottle, which was full and heavy.

Sang Rou: "Master Zhao, this jade bottle is very precious, you should hold it carefully."

Zhao Yueyao was forced to kneel on the ground, holding the jade bottle with both hands.She clearly said that all she had to do was make an offering, but Sang Rou wanted him to carry it, which was obviously torturing people.
