There is a fake demigod in the East Palace

When the first month came out, it was the beginning of spring, and the snow left over from the winter began to melt, and several palace servants were sweeping the snow under the white marble steps.On such a snowmelt day, the temperature is even colder than usual.

Rong Zheng stood alone outside Yaoqing Palace, facing the palace gate carved with patterns and painted with gold.

Soon, the palace door opened from the inside, and Pearl, the female officer beside the empress, came out from the door.

Pearl walked in front of Rong Zheng, saluted politely, and said: "Please wait here a moment, Your Majesty, His Majesty is discussing matters."

Rong Zheng nodded, and said to Pearl, "Thank you."

Rong Zheng just came over from the East Palace, wearing a black cashmere coat.Today's weather shows no signs of warming up, and it is still white and foggy when I open my mouth

He didn't ask how long Pearl would have to wait, nor did he ask why the Queen invited him here today.After Pearl left, Rong Zheng continued to wait patiently.

About half an hour later, the closed palace door was opened again, and a faint fragrance wafted out from the door.Surrounded by palace people, Rong Rong walked out of Yaoqing Palace, several female officials stood inside the door, saying goodbye to Rong Rong earnestly.

As soon as Rong Rong came out, she saw Rong Zheng standing outside the door. As if she hadn't seen His Royal Highness, she took the hood from the attendant and put it on, and walked past Rong Zheng without turning her eyes.

"Stop." Just as the two passed by, Rong Zheng stopped her.

"Brother Huang, what advice do you have?" Rong Rong stopped and glanced at Rong Zheng expressionlessly.

Rong Zheng turned to face Rong Rong, and wrote lightly: "In the battle between you and me, don't use the country as a bargaining chip."

"Brother Huang." Rong Rong smiled indifferently, and said to Rong Zheng: "Now you are a mud bodhisattva and you can't protect yourself when you cross the river, so don't worry about the country and the people here."

After speaking, she strode down the steps without looking back.

After Rong Rong left, Rong Zheng entered the hall led by Pearl.The hall is full of gauze curtains, the light is dim, and there is some kind of incense in the stove. After smelling it for a while, people feel dizzy.

Today was not a formal occasion, the empress was wrapped in a dark fox fur, half leaning on the throne under the plaque of "Diligence and Sincerity", listening attentively to Zhong Yu reciting scriptures.

Seeing Rong Zheng coming in, Zhong Yu glanced at him distractedly, and quickly looked away again.

Rong Zheng didn't expect that Zhong Yu, who hadn't shown his face for a long time, was actually in the palace today. His steps paused slightly, and he stopped at the bottom of the steps.

With just a brief eye contact, Rong Zheng knew that what was waiting for him today would not be a good thing.

There is a square fish tank on the right side of the queen's throne, and the golden-red arowana in the tank is hovering quietly in the water.When Rong Zheng entered the door, those glazed fish eyes turned slightly as Rong Zheng approached, which actually gave people the illusion of being watched by them.

It was heard that after the Empress came back from the Li Palace, she became more obsessed with these aquatic pets. She not only took care of them every day, but even brought them with her during meetings.

I saw it today, it's true.

"Your Majesty, Wan An." Rong Zheng ignored the strange gaze, bent down, and saluted the Queen as usual.

While Rong Zheng saluted, Zhong Yu also bowed to him.

The queen raised her eyelids, her eyes swept across to Rong Zheng.She didn't ask Rong Zheng to excuse him, nor did she allow him to get up, but instead shouted: "Kneel down!"

The empress sounded calm and pretentious. The female officer was carrying tea and snacks, just as she entered the door, she encountered this scene and hurriedly retreated.

Rong Zheng's performance was calm, he didn't ask any reason, he straightened his clothes, and knelt down in response.

In the modern royal family, kneeling is a very important etiquette. Except for important sacrificial and celebration occasions, or if you have committed a very serious mistake, you generally cannot kneel.

The queen sat up straight, and asked in a deep voice, "Rong Zheng, are you convicted?"

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty." Rong Zheng knelt on the ground with his back straight, and he didn't look like he was "confessed".

"This is the impeachment letter I have received in recent days." The Queen took a stack of documents from Zhong Yu and threw them in front of Rong Zheng: "Everything is related to you, let's see for yourself."

The thick documents fell in front of Rong Zheng, and they were scattered in one piece. Rong Zheng knew what was written in these impeachment letters without looking at them.Probably during this period of time, Rong Rong paved the way, and the monsters and monsters from all walks of life couldn't help but move out.These impeachment letters are comparable to an old almanac, and I can't wait to dig out all the mistakes he made when he was three years old when he peed his pants and impeach him again.

Seeing that there was no trace of guilt on Rong Zheng's face, the empress said sadly: "Zheng'er, I am very disappointed in you. As the prince of this dynasty, you would commit such a mistake!"

The queen's words were tantamount to convicting Rong Zheng without any actual evidence, and the intention behind it was already obvious.

Rong Zheng leaned over and made a big salute without any excuse.It seems that the purpose of the empress to let him come here today is to let him bear the scapegoats on his back more solidly.

In this passive situation, instead of showing your hole cards early, it is better to see what the opponent has left behind.

Seeing that Rong Zheng didn't answer, the empress thought that he had a ghost in his heart and had nothing to say.She immediately changed her identity from a high-ranking emperor to a kind and protective grandmother.

"How can you be so confused." The queen sighed, the expression on her face gradually softened, and her words were full of helplessness: "After all, you are my grandson, and I can't bear to watch you make mistakes. If you are a first offender, I will give you another chance."

After the queen finished speaking, she gave Zhong Yu a look.Zhong Yu nodded knowingly, and walked down the steps.

The footsteps sounded from far to near, and in the blink of an eye, a pair of well-crafted leather shoes appeared in Rong Zheng's sight.There is not a speck of dust on the pitch-black upper, as if the owner of the shoes has never stepped down from the mundane world.

"Your Highness." Zhong Yu gave Rong Zheng a condescending look, opened the folder in his hand, and handed a piece of paper to Rong Zheng: "Please have a look."

The queen said at the right time: "This is a letter of love that I asked the national teacher to help you draft."

As she spoke, the queen pressed her fists to her lips, coughed lightly, and continued to speak slowly: "You stamp your crown prince's seal on this letter of love, and publish it publicly tomorrow to avoid public indignation. After that, I will personally come forward to appease you. In this incident, I guarantee that you will escape unscathed. As long as you abide by the law in the future and abide by the duty of the prince, my painstaking efforts will not be in vain."

Rong Zheng quickly glanced at the love letter in his hand, with a slight smile on his face.Zhong Yu's letter of love is written very well, it is not a letter of love, it is clearly the crown prince's confession.The official investigation against Rong Zheng has not yet been launched, and the empress is so impatient to make a conclusion, it can be seen that her old man intends to take the bottom line and not leave Rong Zheng a chance to stand up.

Rong Zheng's father had a high reputation during his reign, and the crown prince Rong Zheng has been very popular over the years. There are many supporters, whether in the royal family of the government or among the people, there is absolutely no possibility of abolishing the crown prince based on this incident alone.

The empress expected that Rongzheng was in a desperate situation this time, and it was a good time to propose a conditional exchange. In order to be able to get out of trouble, he would definitely choose to drink doves to quench his thirst.Once this "statement of guilt" is obtained, Rong Zheng's crown prince's throne will be as fragile as straw, and if there is any slight disturbance in the future, it will collapse irretrievably to the end.

Rong Zheng read the "Love Letter" at a glance, and then carefully folded it up.This scene fell in the eyes of the empress, and she couldn't help secretly delighting in her heart.

It's just that she hadn't been happy for a long time, when she heard a "tearing" sound, and Rong Zheng tore the folded paper into several pieces.

"I won't bother grandma about this matter," Rong Zheng said.

Although Rong Zheng's current situation is somewhat difficult, he is not willing to fall into such a trap.

After finishing speaking, Rong Zheng stood up without waiting for the Queen's permission.He bypassed Zhong Yu, walked to the incense burner, and threw the torn "Chen Love Letter" in his hand into the ashes.

A flame shot up from the incense burner, licking up the fragments in an instant.

There was an orange fire beating in Rong Zheng's eyes. He looked at the "Love Letter" that had turned into ashes, and said to the Queen: "Please give me some more time, Your Majesty, and I will handle it properly."

The arowana in the tank swung its tail and splashed a splash of water, the empress came back to her senses.Seeing that Rong Zheng was so ignorant of flattery, she couldn't help being furious, and her dignified and graceful face became ferocious.

She knocked over the precious elephant on display in front of the seat, and said angrily: "Rong Zheng! Kneel down to the Third Master Hall immediately and think about your mistakes."

After finishing speaking, she still felt puzzled, and ordered Zhong Yu: "Zhong Yu, you go and watch him for me, no one is allowed to let him out without my permission!"
