Shui Ruo didn't expect that the emperor would come by himself, and didn't know what to do.
"I have come here today to let you out."
"The crime committed by a sinner is a heinous crime, and it should be executed."
"I think so too, but my son begged and even used his own life in exchange for your life. I can only promise him. "
"Ye Huangze?" Shangguan Yun was shocked.
"You're smart." The Emperor smiled.
"It's not that the scoundrel is smart, but other than him, no one else would treat the sinner this well." Shangguan Yun smiled bitterly.
When the Emperor heard this, he couldn't deny it. Indeed, besides his foolish son, no one would be so good to this woman.
However, it was all thanks to her that he was able to hand over his rights.
"You can leave now. I give you your freedom. From today onwards, you will no longer be the princess consort. " The emperor looked at Shangguan Yun as he said this.
When Shangguan Yun heard this, she smiled bitterly, then said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty. May the emperor live forever."
He walked out of the Sky Prison.
Shangguan Qing personally came to pick up Shangguan Yun. When he saw Shangguan Yun's bedraggled look, the anger in Shangguan Bing's heart exploded.
"Elder sister, what did you do? Did those people in the Celestial Prison do anything to you? " Shangguan Qing asked worriedly.
Hearing this, Shangguan Yun shook her head, "No, they all know that I'm from the Shangguan family, so they didn't dare to act rashly."
"Then elder sister?"
"Where's the Seventh Prince?" Shangguan Yun looked at Shangguan Qing and asked.
"He's probably dead. The Emperor won't say something like that." However, since he has chosen to let you leave, then that Night Emperor must have chosen to die. "
Shangguan Yan's words were straightforward. Hearing that, Shangguan Yun's body swayed.
Dead?
"Ha!" "Hahaha!" It was unknown if she was crying or laughing, but Shangguan Yun was a bit crazy.
"Elder sister, what's wrong?" Shangguan Bing asked worriedly, and then she threw herself on his body and started crying.
So it was sadness.
Shangguan Bing was relieved, and carried his sister onto the carriage. Along the way, Shangguan Yun didn't stop crying, it was the first time Shangguan Bing had seen her so sad.
"Elder sister, do you like the Night King's Swamp?" Shangguan Xuan asked curiously.
"I owe him." Shangguan Yun cried even more urgently.
"If it hadn't been for me, he wouldn't have come this far. I was the one who pulled him down from the beginning. It's my fault. "
"Elder sister was not wrong, the one at fault is your highness the crown prince. If it wasn't for His Highness being so heartless, how could his sister have reached such a state? Elder sister should rest well and stay home from now on. I would never let that person hurt my sister again. I will definitely not let him off. "
Shangguan Bing's tone was serious, but Shangguan Yun fell silent when she heard this.
"Big sister still can't bear it? He caused big sister to fall into such a state, and big sister is actually still in such a state? " Shangguan Han was angry.
"Sorry." Shangguan Yun smiled helplessly.
In the end, there were some things that she couldn't do just because she wanted to.
She liked the crown prince to the extreme. She once thought that she liked the crown prince that much because of the Night Emperor's abandonment, but in reality, it was purely because she liked him.
She liked everything about that person, but that person rejected everything about her.
"Elder sister, don't be silly." Shangguan Xuan was helpless. He did not understand the word 'love'. The only thing he knew was that Ye Huang Yan would make her suffer.
"Alright, let's not talk about it." Shangguan Yun smiled, it was a forced smile.
Shangguan Qing was sensible and didn't bring it up again. At the same time, within the inner palace.
After the Queen found out that Shangguan Yun had been released, she flew into a rage.
"Damn it! Damn it! Just what is the emperor thinking!? "
"Empress, His Highness, he … They left the bridal chamber. "
"Huh?" Just as the empress was enraged, news of Night Emperor's flames spread and caused the empress to collapse.
"Is the child crazy!?" Why did I personally go to the Minister of Rites to propose? He actually left on the wedding night again. No matter what, he has to put on an act! "
"Damn it, how am I going to explain this to the Minister of Rites?" The Queen was furious. However, at this moment, a high-pitched voice came from outside, "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived."
Your majesty? Come over at night? To the empress, such a situation was even more unfathomable than the gold that fell from the sky.
The number of times the Emperor had spent the night here over the years could be counted on one hand. But today, he actually came!
"This concubine greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live for tens of thousands of years." The empress welcomed him respectfully.
Outside the door, the emperor saw the empress and hurriedly helped her up. He then said, "There is no need for the empress and I to be so courteous."
What a joke. If I really did not bow, who knows what might happen?
The empress silently cursed, but maintained a gentle smile on her face. "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
"Empress, do you know why I'm here tonight?"
"Chenqie doesn't know." The Queen played dumb.
"Then does the empress know about the Minister of Rites?"
"Minister of Rites? What happened to him? " The empress looked at the emperor suspiciously.
"The Minister of Rites had secretly sent his men and women to the prison, which was full of complaints and complaints. He had also formed a gang, and had just been sentenced to death."
F * ck! The moment the emperor said this, the empress wanted to scold him.
But soon after, his face could not help but turn pale. This was a crime that most ministers would probably commit, but some of the emperors would turn a blind eye to it. But why only the Minister of Rites?
Could it be because Yan Er had married the daughter of the Minister of Rites?
"I heard that you married the daughter of the Minister of Rites for Yan'er?" Empress, when did you have such bad eyes? "
The emperor looked coldly at the empress. When the empress heard this, she really wanted to curse. My eyes are bad? It's clearly you deliberately bullying him, okay?
However, the empress did not dare to say such words out loud. She could only smile in embarrassment, "Chenqie is guilty."
"Of course you are guilty." The emperor scoffed, "For so many years, I have always been at your disposal. For a matter like the Crown Prince choosing a wife, I will be at your disposal. But the result? The next was Shangguan Yun, followed by Huang Yue'er. Which of these two women is good?
I'm afraid the crown prince has already been taught ill by you. "
"Then does the emperor want chenqie to drive out the Crown Prince's secondary wife?"
"No need. If there is a next time, I think the Crown Prince can leave. "
"This is my concubine's business, what does it have to do with His Highness the crown prince?"
"You are the Queen Mother of the Crown Prince. If you do wrong, the next time will naturally fall to the crown prince. "
"Is Your Majesty resenting those years ago? It was chenqie's fault for what happened that year. The crown prince was only a child back then, so he didn't know anything at all. "
"When did I ever say 'that year'?" The Emperor grunted coldly. And then, both of them fell silent.
After a long while, the two of them walked into the inner hall together, and then they remained silent. He just sat there until daybreak.
This was the most common way for the empress and the emperor to get along. Even if two people were to sleep, no one would give in. Because, once someone gives in, they definitely won't only have to bear the words' let down '.
When the emperor left early in the morning, the empress fell unsteadily onto the bed. Then she began to cry.
His husband didn't love him, and his son didn't understand either. Her life had been a failure. And the culprit behind all of this, was Night Emperor Shang's mufei!
The empress didn't know how to vent her resentment.
It was already dawn, but her heart was still as gloomy as before. At the same time, in the Crown Prince's Palace.
As soon as Night Emperor Yan returned, he heard the crackling sounds of things being broken.
"Madame, please calm your anger."
"Empress Dowager, that's His Highness' favorite vase."
"Empress, you can't move here."
This kind of voice kept coming out from the side concubine's courtyard. Hearing this, Night Emperor Yan frowned. Walking into the hall, he saw his secondary wife, Huang Yue'er, smashing things with tears all over her face.
"What happened?" Night Emperor Yan's voice was ice-cold.
When Huang Yue'er heard this, she raised her head. Seeing that it was the Night Emperor, she began to sob. "Your Highness, Your Highness has finally returned." You must save Chenqie's father. "
"Minister of Rites?" The Crown Prince had a headache. Every minister would make a mistake made by the Minister of Rites, but what was even worse was that his royal father only chose him and said it out loud. It was obviously aimed at him. Since that was the case, if he were to appear now, something big would definitely happen.
"This crown prince is powerless in this matter. Also, pack up all the things in the room for this crown prince. If you don't handle it well, I'll let you go. "
As he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Huang Yue'er didn't expect that the Crown Prince would be so heartless. Staring blankly at the back of the Crown Prince as he left, she once again wailed loudly. However, this time, no one came to coax her.
In the Crown Prince's Palace, the words of the Crown Prince were everything. Whoever the Crown Prince disliked, would have a tragedy. After all, very few women were as bold as Shangguan Yun. Even if the crown prince didn't like her, she could still make the entire mansion under her command.
Thus, Huang Yue'er's future could almost be predicted.
At the same time, at the Third Marquis Estate.
Blue River excitedly reported to the Night Emperor in his study about what had happened last night. He then gloated, "Ha, it seems that the emperor can't stand the crown prince, so he has decided to take care of him."
"Are you sure you can't stand the crown prince? In royal father's eyes, we were all eyeing each other. " The Night Emperor sneered.
"What does Your Highness mean?" Blue River didn't understand.
"Sit still. No matter how they fight, we just need to do what we need to do. royal father's goal this time is probably the two of us. "
As the Night Emperor spoke to here, he couldn't help but bitterly smile. Once upon a time, he thought he could fight for the throne. But in the end, what he saw was a scene that he didn't dare to think about.
The throne would not belong to him, nor would it belong to Nightmare. It was actually from Night Emperor Shang. And only he, can be the person royal father truly wants to pass on the throne.
To royal father, Night Emperor Shang and these princes were different.
"Where's the wangfei?" the Night Emperor asked.
"It seems he has gone out. Come to think of it, does Your Highness need to submit a letter asking the emperor to make the matter of the wangfei known to the world? "
"No need. She's only This King's wangfei, not everyone's wangfei. " The Night Emperor said in a cold voice. Not only that … royal father probably wouldn't allow it, right?
Emperor Ye Shang liked her, so royal father knows about it. That person would leave all the good things to Night Emperor Shang. Even Shui Ruo was no exception.
Thinking of this, Emperor Ye Xiu couldn't help but be jealous. No matter how he struggled, he was unable to change the fact that his royal father had never cared about him.
Today's weather was very good. The sun shone brightly and the breeze was warm, giving off an extremely warm feeling.
Shui leisurely walked along the street, a smile brimming on his face as he watched the occasional passerby on the street.
How long had it been since he had been so relaxed?
Ever since Shangguan Yun's incident, she had never been able to calm down.
Now that he was walking on the street and looking at the scenery of the street, he felt that it was a blessing to be safe.
Ah!" Just as Shui Ruo was looking around, she accidentally bumped into someone because she wasn't paying attention to what was happening in front of her.
"I'm sorry." Shui Ruo quickly apologized.
"I'm fine, it's because I didn't …" The speaker stopped talking before he could finish.
"The waters are long?"
"Shangguan Yun?"
The two of them looked at each other in surprise. Then, a thought flashed through their minds: enemies are at a disadvantage!
"Why are you here?" Shui Sheng looked at Shangguan Yun and asked.
"I was released by the Emperor."
"Eh? "What luck." Shui Ruo sighed.
"Ha!" In my opinion, it would be better to die. What's the point of living like this? "
"But you are still alive." Shui Ruo looked at Shangguan Yun and smiled.
"Now you are no longer the princess consort."
"Yes, thanks to you." Shangguan Yun smiled bitterly. However, he didn't really hate the water. After experiencing life and death, her heart was already indifferent towards hatred.
The Crown Prince might have a reason for liking the water. Furthermore, she insisted on obtaining the bitter fruit in the end. So, since that was the case, why should she continue to go against the person in front of her?
Right now, His Highness no longer wanted to see her, and she could no longer see him. Even if he tried to make things difficult for her, it would be useless.
Shangguan Yun's thoughts were very simple. Shui Ruo, on the other hand, held respect towards Shangguan Yun.
Although Shangguan Yun had hurt her. However, Shangguan Yun's feelings towards Night Emperor Yan were worthy of respect. Few women would be willing to live for so many years for a man, not to mention that she was the princess consort.
In the end, when she was together with the Night Emperor, perhaps she had her own difficulties. This was because when she looked at Night Emperor Yan, her eyes were filled with gentleness.
Shui Long looked at Shangguan Yun and couldn't help smiling, "Do you want to have a cup of tea with us?"
"Sure." Shangguan Yun said faintly. Then, the two of them arrived at a small teahouse. After ordering the tea, he sat down.
