When the emperor arrived at Zhaoming Palace in a palanquin, his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface. After all, the former empress and the present Zhao Guiren were not just a symbol to him, but a period of his years and a journey of his life.

On the surface, Zhao Zhiya deserves the word "Ya" in his name.

The emperor had known her very early. Before he became emperor, Zhao Zhiya was often brought into the palace as the daughter of Marquis Yongchang and the niece of Empress Zhao. At that time, Zhao Zhiya was a silent but gentle girl, At least she behaves well in front of adults and never makes mistakes. She is like a step-by-step puppet. Of course, there are some emotions behind it.

When the emperor was a child, he saw her being slapped many times in the face by people in the back. In the emperor's mind, a master punishing a slave is nothing to worry about. However, this let the emperor know that some people, in front of others, look like The more beautiful she is, the more ruthless the queen may be, and the emperor doesn't like her that much ever since.

After she became a queen, there was actually nothing wrong with her, but she was only a beautiful puppet on the surface. She obeyed the Queen Mother's words and wanted to benefit the family. Secretly, she also had her own complaints and grievances.

In front of the emperor, she was a step-by-step queen. Everything was done according to etiquette. The emperor had nothing to say to her. Later, he didn't want to see her at all. Seeing her felt uncomfortable for some reason.

It's uncomfortable, and it has nothing to do with likes or dislikes, it's just uncomfortable.

The emperor knew that Zhao Zhiya was also a person, not really just a puppet, but the emperor didn't have that much thought to think about these things, he couldn't and didn't have the heart to completely change places from the perspective of others, so he There is no sympathy for Zhao Zhiya.

Zhao Zhiya was demoted to a nobleman, because Zhaoming Palace was not the Queen's Palace in the first place, so after she was downgraded, she did not move the palace, but still lived here.

The emperor got down from the sedan chair, because of the snow that fell the night before, although the snow in the main places was swept away, but because the Zhaoming Palace was deserted and there were few people in the palace, the snow in many places was not shoveled away. It was still white.

The emperor entered the Zhaoming Palace, and it was very cold inside. The two court ladies serving Mr. Zhao seemed panicked, and kowtowed fiercely to the emperor. The emperor asked, "What about her?"

A court lady hurriedly led the emperor into the inner room.

Fortunately, a stove was fired in the inner room, which made it a little warmer, but the carbon was very bad, with a very bad smell of soot gas and choking smoke.

The court lady who took care of Zhao Guiren was used to it, so she didn't notice this problem, but the emperor coughed twice because of choking. Liu Sheng was careful, so he found this problem instantly, and immediately asked someone to change the heater and carbon.

Guiren Zhao lay faceless on the bed, because the Queen's Palace was reduced to the Noble Palace, and many of the original decorations in the palace were taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it looked empty inside. The palace is still the original palace, but the whole feeling is different. It's the same, not at all like the original place.

Due to excessive bleeding, Zhao Guiren has already passed out.

The emperor sat down beside the bed, and the imperial doctor had not come yet.

The emperor then asked, "When did it happen?"

The court lady who took care of Zhao Guiren went to kneel down again. At this time, seeing that the emperor showed no signs of getting angry, she calmed down a little. It was snowing heavily outside, so she stayed in a daze for a while, the breakfast was cold, she didn't eat, she said she was going to build a snowman, but she was not allowed by the guards, so she just sat at the door in a daze, the maid felt so The wind at the door was not good, so I persuaded her to go into the inner room, Zhao Guiren was a little annoyed, complained a few words, and finally went into the inner room, but scolded the maids who took care of her, telling them not to go in and disturb her, Then, before lunch, the maid brought the food in, only to find that she was sitting on a chair with a puddle of blood on the ground, and she was already unconscious. Because it was too cold, the blood stuck to her wrist, so she didn't completely Died, but in this state, I don't know if it can be revived.

All the servants and maids of Zhao Guiren were dealt with, and those who serve her now are all arranged later, and they have no affection for Zhao Guiren, and they must not be loyal.

However, the court lady in this narrative was not a tell-tale, so she spoke truthfully, and the emperor hummed when she heard it.

The imperial doctor came after a while, and found that the emperor was already one step ahead of him, so he immediately became nervous. After saluting tremblingly, the emperor didn't say anything, but just asked him to see Zhao Guiren.

The wound on Zhao Guiren's left hand has been wrapped up, but he is still unconscious.

The imperial doctor looked at it for a while, and said to give her ginseng water and sugar water to drink.

Then he secretly looked at the emperor's intentions, not knowing whether the emperor wanted Zhao Guiren to die or her to live, so he hesitated.

After being fed ginseng water and sugar water, Zhao Guiren woke up, but she was not in a good mood, and seemed to be in a trance. After seeing the emperor, she remained motionless, just watching quietly.

Knowing that she had something to say, the emperor raised his hand and let the others back out.

Zhao Guiren's tears flowed slowly. When she was welcomed into the palace as a queen, she had a graceful and luxurious appearance. In the Yong Dynasty, a woman's waist was considered beautiful, but she also admired plumpness. Zhao Guiren used to be a model of both. She is a regal beauty.

But now, she is already thin and haggard, her face is pale and dark yellow, and she has no beauty at all.

The emperor didn't actually hate her, but he didn't pity her either.

Ever since he took power in his hands, the emperor felt that he hated no one, even the queen mother who poisoned his biological mother to death with Jiujiu, but he also deeply knew that the queen mother must die.

People who can't even control hatred are really cold.

The emperor took out a handkerchief and wiped Zhao Guiren's tears, saying, "Cousin, why do you want to die?"

Zhao Guiren's tears flowed even harder, she was extremely weak, and said softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The emperor looked at her and nodded.

Zhao Guiren reached out and grabbed the emperor's hand, only looking at him, "Please let the concubine's father and brother go."

The emperor just slapped his eyelashes lightly. Zhao Zhiya watched the emperor grow from a child to the big man he is now. When the emperor was a child, he had no sense of existence. Now he has grown into a man. There is a sense of presence on his face, but he always makes people feel dangerous, an unknown danger that makes people vigilant.

Zhao Zhiya is indeed deeply afraid. Living like this is better than dying. At least she can ask the emperor for mercy and make her family feel better. She then said, "Your Majesty, this concubine has no intention of harming concubine Xu. I have sandalwood incense on me, but such a small amount will have no effect at all. The concubine really has no intention of harming her. Besides, even if she gives birth prematurely, nothing will happen. Please let the concubine's father and brother go, please. They'll be fine."

The emperor left the handkerchief that wiped Zhao Guiren's tears by her pillow, took his hand out of Zhao Guiren's hand, and said, "I know, you didn't do it. I'm rewarding her. It’s just medicine in the snack.”

Zhao Guiren suddenly shrank his eyes and pupils, and the emperor said, "I still remember walking so many roads with you in the days of our wedding. At that time, I thought why I walked so many roads with her. I was still too young at the time. I always feel that it is better to do what I like with the person I like. I am still too young. There are so many emperors in the past dynasties, and few of the people they love have good results. The person I like, I want him to have good results. As a result, he may not have a good result, and I don't necessarily want him to have a miserable end for someone I don't like."

Zhao Guiren only felt that the emperor was scary, and she couldn't fully understand what the emperor said, but she knew that what the emperor said to her meant that she would definitely die.

Zhao Guiren just said, "My father and brother have no intention of disobeying the emperor, please let them go."

The emperor said, "When the spring begins, I will exile them to the northwest and spare their lives. You can go away with peace of mind."

Zhao Guiren got up to kowtow to the emperor, the emperor turned around and left, Zhao Guiren fell from the bed and fell to the ground with a loud noise, the emperor had already walked out of the inner room door, he went outside and saw the courtyard full The snow that has not been shoveled away is as white as this snow.

As an emperor, it's nothing more than asking for it.

When he thought of his father, he was never really happy.

Before the emperor got into the palace sedan chair, a voice came from the palace behind, "Your Excellency, Your Honor..."

Eunuch Liu ran back to take another look, and then said back to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao has gone."

The emperor was still a little dazed, and said, "Go and tell the queen mother."

When the emperor returned to Qinzheng Hall, Ji Heng was indeed still waiting for him to come back.

Ji Heng was sitting on a chair in meditation in an orderly manner, motionless, like a sculpture.

The emperor sat down next to him, and Ji Heng finally realized that he got up and saluted the emperor, but the emperor just looked at him deeply, and even forgot to call for him to lie down.

After a long time, he said, "Let's get down."

After Ji Heng got up, he didn't sit down again, but stood on the side with a bow, and didn't ask Zhao Guiren what happened there.

He didn't ask, but the emperor said by himself, "I've already gone."

Ji Heng opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but closed his mouth again without saying anything.

The emperor was stunned for a while, and then said to him, "Junqing, please sit down."

Ji Heng hesitated for a while, but went to sit down anyway.

The emperor said, "Before Zhao Guiren leaves, please let her father and brother go, Junqing, what do you think?"

Ji Heng hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, "Zhao Guiren was once a queen, and his father and brother were also honored as the father and uncle of the country. I don't dare to have any opinions."

Ji Heng's words were also very clear. Although he used to be the empress and the father-in-law of the country, but it was just a word from the emperor. The one who died, the one who became a prisoner became a prisoner, everything depends on the emperor's will That's all.What could he think.

The emperor frowned and said, "You are on good terms with Zhao Zhili, why don't you intercede for his family?"

Ji Heng knelt down again at once, and when the emperor was about to be moody and annoyed, Ji Heng took something out of his sleeve and put it on the ground, the emperor looked over and was taken aback for a moment.
