Xuanyuan Jing looked at the high and mighty Emperor Xuanyuan, and at this moment, he suddenly wanted to ask his royal father, if he did not think of him as a son and love him dearly.
However, when she saw his expressionless face, the words that were about to come out of his mouth on the tip of her tongue were swallowed up.
At this point, there was nothing to ask. Even if there was, it was already too late.
He said lightly: "If this son really wanted to force the palace, does royal father think the palace would be so calm?"
Hearing that, Xuanyuan Chen was secretly shocked, his gaze was fixed on the expressionless Xuanyuan Jing, as though he was pondering what he meant. Indeed, today's forced palace was too quiet, as if it was just a small fight, as if it was calm before the storm.
A light flashed in his mind, as if something was about to be called out.
Emperor Xuanyuan was furious, "You won't change your mind even if you die. Someone, throw Xuanyuan Jing and all his henchmen into the Sky Prison. Three days later, at noon. "
The sneer on Xuanyuan Jing's lips had gradually faded and his expression darkened. He dismounted and allowed the imperial guards to surround him as they escorted him and his trusted aides behind him.
Her cold gaze swept across Xuanyuan Chen, Xie Qingrong, and the Emperor Xuanyuan who were standing above the stage, but not a single word was spoken.
Xuanyuan Chen's train of thoughts was interrupted by Emperor Xuanyuan's angry words, and when he recalled again, he could already no longer think of any clues.
In a single night, the sky of the capital changed.
On the morning of the second day, Emperor Xuanyuan led a sick people to court, where a eunuch at his side read the imperial edict.
"I will follow the will of the heavens. The imperial edict will state as follows: The Second Prince, Xuanyuan Jing, led his troops to attack the Imperial Palace yesterday. After stripping him of his identity as a prince, he would be sent to prison and be executed three days later.
Her mother, Imperial Consort Ye, was not a good teacher, but had her own ways of doing things, so she stripped her of her title of imperial concubine and sent her into the cold palace.
I have been holding onto your arm for many days now, but fortunately, Third Prince Xuanyuan Chen has helped me out in the imperial court. Since I was unconscious, I had been stripped of my title as Crown Prince. Now I have regained my position as Crown Prince and will be conferred the title of Ceremony in half a month. With regards to the Second Prince's offense yesterday, Xuanyuan Chen turned the tide single-handedly and rewarded the Second Prince with a thousand gold and a million silver.
"Here it is."
The entire audience was in an uproar. Last night, the matter of Xuanyuan Jing forcing Palace was something the officials present knew in their hearts. Xuanyuan Jing was terrified, but he did not dare refute him.
However, he did not expect that the Emperor Xuanyuan did not have the intention to punish the Ye Family, but in the future, Xuanyuan Chen would succeed as the crown prince, and the time for the Ye Family to return was most likely gone.
With the Imperial Consort Ye crippled, the Queen Zhangsun regained her position as Empress and took over the harem with the Phoenix Seal again.
However, after leaving the cold palace, she first returned to the Linglong Hall to change into a set of clean clothes, then headed towards the Eternal Life Palace that the Imperial Consort Ye was at.
Inside the palace, Imperial Consort Ye was dressed in pink, her long hair tied up in a bun and held onto a jade hairpin.
Her eyes were like autumn water, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her lips were vermilion in color.
It was an extremely simple outfit, completely different from the usual seductive and absolutely beautiful attire.
Sitting straight on the chair, her slender hands held onto a beautiful fan as she gently waved it.
As Queen Zhangsun stepped into the palace, he saw the calm face of the Imperial Consort Ye, and was slightly startled. She seemed to have never seen the Imperial Consort Ye with such a calm and cold appearance.
Before waiting for Queen Zhangsun to speak, Imperial Consort Ye said in an extremely cold tone: "You're here."
Her eyebrows drooped down, as though she was extremely obedient. Queen Zhangsun knew that her actions were just because she did not want to see him. There was no hurry. She only smiled and said: "I'm here to send you off."
Hearing that, Imperial Consort Ye raised her lowered eyebrows, and placed her gaze on Queen Zhangsun's body, on her wife who was being pained by Emperor Xuanyuan.
Even if the three of them stood at the position of Four Palaces, the position of Imperial Consort would appear to be extremely prestigious. However, the blame lay with the emperor's concubine, and the empress was the emperor's legitimate wife.
He used the most complicated and grand ceremony in the world to marry the wife that entered the palace.
Thinking about that, she just smiled. It was so beautiful.
"The empress has an esteemed status. It's best not to get too close to chenqie, the concubine who's about to be moved into the palace." Her voice was very light, but it contained a faint self-mockery.
Queen Zhangsun was silent. It was the truth that Imperial Consort Ye had been forced into a cold palace. She did not know how to comfort him.
The Imperial Consort Ye did not care about the silence of the Queen Zhangsun.
Her son, Xuanyuan Jing, had been eliminated in the battle for power. He had no objections regarding how to punish him. And the clan behind her would probably be uprooted by the Emperor Xuanyuan as well.
Even though he was unwilling and resentful, there was nothing he could do.
The Imperial Consort Ye already did not follow beside her palace maids and eunuchs. She had already sent them away, there was no need for her to follow him to that cold and gloomy place in the Cold Palace.
Step by step, he walked towards the door. The door opened and a blinding white light flooded in from outside.
Before she left, Queen Zhangsun asked the last question in her mind. This question had been bothering her for many years, and she kept it in her heart.
"Back then, why did you urge the Snow to plant a mother Gu in me?"
Imperial Consort Ye's slender back trembled slightly. There was a little bit of jealousy and envy, "I want to see how far the Emperor will go for you."
After a long time, he then continued, with both unwillingness and regret, "But I didn't expect that the Emperor would actually lure the Gu worm onto himself."
She still remembered the first time she met Xuanyuan Mingcheng, she was just following her mother into the palace to attend a banquet, when she quickly caught a glimpse of Xuanyuan Mingcheng's figure and saw him.
However, this was far from enough.
The deepest memory should be within the imperial garden. A young and handsome emperor was carrying a woman who was smiling sweetly in his arms. The two of them were dressed in bright yellow clothes that matched perfectly, as if they were a match made in heaven and earth.
It was unknown what the Emperor said, it caused the woman in his embrace to giggle. The lips of the handsome Emperor curled up, and in that instant, even the sky seemed to lose its color.
However, there was a gentle light in his eyes as he looked at the delicate and pretty woman in his arms. Out of the corner of his eyes, he didn't see anything else.
It was truly the love of the Emperor.
When she returned to the Ye Residence, she wanted to marry the king. She kept begging her brother, who was no match for her sister, to send her beloved sister to the palace. Finally, she wanted to marry the king and become a noble Imperial Consort Ye.
However, from the beginning until now, that king still hadn't looked at her with his gentle eyes.
Even her son was only a product of a night of scheming.
All these years, she had calculated and planned every step of the way. In the end, she had only fallen to the side of the cold palace.
Heaven's will messed with people.
Imperial Consort Ye's lips revealed a cold smile, and then, she leisurely walked in the direction of the cold palace.
