The emperor sat on the Dragon Throne and looked at the ground on the left. His eyes were empty and he looked absent-minded. The officials below could not help but whisper to each other.
The clamor finally brought the emperor back to reality, and he turned to look at Gao Shenghai. Gao Shenghai flicked his whisk around and sang out in a high-pitched voice: "If you have anything to say, start, if you have nothing to say, leave the imperial court!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Emperor said, "Withdraw!"
Gao Shenghai raised his voice and shouted, "Withdraw!"
The civil and military officials all clasped their hands together and exclaimed, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Every day when he heard this loud shout, the emperor would always feel some satisfaction in his heart. This was the symbol of the highest power, the honor above tens of thousands of people, the reverence the Courtier had for the main character.
But not all the Mandarin Seed s respected him this much. For example, the one who was already absent for two days!
Early court is a very strict system, not taking leave without permission, or lying, once found according to the great disrespect. The Prince Chu was a clan prince, he should be clearer than anyone else. He did not come yesterday, and after that someone brought word over, saying that the Princess Chu was in bad shape and that he had to stay at home to accompany him.
What a joke. He wasn't a doctor, so what was the use of being by her side? A dignified prince, throwing away all official matters to the side for his wife, wasn't he afraid of being laughed at? The empress wasn't in good health either. Didn't he, as the emperor, check in every day? A prince is bigger than an emperor.
He was unable to suppress the anger in his heart. Walking down the corridor, he saw an angry red plum tree by the side of the road and stopped walking. In the light of the day, a young eunuch rushed over and whispered something into Gao Shenghai's ears.
The Emperor had a bad feeling. "What is it?"
"Reporting to the emperor, the strange and mysterious mama who reported his disappearance yesterday …" Gao Shenghai hesitated, "I found him in a well on the west side. He has already been fished out and is swollen, but I can still recognize his face."
The emperor's face changed, he anxiously flung his sleeves and walked towards the South Study, Gao Shenghai quickly followed.
Once inside, the emperor lost his temper and smashed a pair of fine red glazed square bottles. The pieces of the bottle against the ink-colored floor tiles were very eye-catching.
"He actually dares to kill people in the palace! He doesn't even put us in his eyes! " Gao Shenghai knelt in front of him to block his way. "Emperor, you can't do this, this is something left behind by the empress dowager!"
The empress dowager that Gao Shenghai was talking about was the emperor's mother. He was originally a prostitute, and didn't get much of a favor from him, even though he gave birth to a son, he had never ascended to the throne. He had been cautious all his life, and had a soft personality, he didn't dare to look at her son openly when he was born and raised in Rui Fei Palace.
Once, in the early spring, she stood behind a tree and waited for the Emperor to return from his studies, but a sudden spring rain fell on her head, and the weather was chilly. It took her several months to recover from her illness, but her body was not as healthy as before, and like an oil lamp that had been exhausted, she suffered defeat and for a few years she finally let go. This jade ruyi was brought by the emperor from his mother's palace while he was kneeling in filial piety. When he missed it, he would take it out and look at it to talk about comfort. If he were to smash it in his fury now, he would definitely regret it in the future.
The emperor was stunned. He slowly put down the things in his hands and went around the table to sit down.
or eunuchs would occasionally go missing in the palace, and were no more than victims under the various palaces. As long as there was no fire, he would only turn a blind eye to it most of the time, but the one who had gone missing was a talented and talented nanny, which he could not ignore. When the news came, he was the first to think of Morong Gan.
Before Kong Mama went missing, she had only taught the Princess Chu that the Prince Chu loved his wife as if she was his life and was famous for its strictness. There must be a reason behind it, but no matter what the reason was, they could not kill people in his palace.
Prince Chu had done too many disrespectful things, cutting off tributes, poisoning the Snow Claws, killing ministers in front of him, going back and forth freely. Even until now, none of them had made him angry, killing people in his palace, the Prince Chu held the military power, killing people was too easy, but those military power were also his, they held the imperial power!
"Your Majesty," a soft voice called from the doorway.
The emperor looked up. It was the empress, she had been sick in the past two days and had been lying on the ground with Phoenix Cry Palace. Why did she suddenly come here?
The emperor hurriedly went forward to support her and grumbled softly, "Your body is not good. Why are you not lying on the bed? What are you doing here?"
The empress's face was pale as she covered her mouth with her handkerchief and coughed twice. "When I heard that His Majesty was angry, I was really anxious." She looked at the red enamel shards on the ground and coughed.
The emperor helped her to sit down and had someone bring her hot tea. "It's nothing. It's just a moment of anxiety. It's over."
The empress, however, knew everything. It was precisely because she knew that she came to advise him.
"Is the Emperor doing this for the Kong Mama?" The empress said at a moderate pace, "Chenqie just found out that a mysterious mama of status suddenly threw herself into a well. This is rather strange."
"I also find it strange," the Emperor looked at her. "What does the Empress think?"
"I've heard rumors about Kong Mama that she is strict and harsh, and that she is a master when it comes to lynching. Many people in the palace have been taught a lesson by her and her reputation is extremely poor. It is possible that she would seek revenge on them."
"The empress's analysis is reasonable, but as far as I know, even if those people wanted revenge, they wouldn't take the life of a wondrous mother. If the matter were to be exposed, they would still have to accompany her for life."
"Could it be that the Emperor has already come to a conclusion?"
The emperor didn't hide it from her, "The Kong Mama was teaching the Princess Chu at the Hokkaido, and in just a few days, the Princess Chu returned to the manor. The Kong Mama disappeared, and then, the Kong Mama sank into the well, moving quickly.
The empress was shocked. "Why would the emperor suspect the Prince Chu?"
"Prince Chu is our younger brother. If we were to break the law, we cannot side with him." Prince Chu is our younger brother.
The empress was silent for a moment before she continued, "Your majesty, since this matter concerns the Prince Chu, we must investigate this matter thoroughly so that we don't wrongly accuse a good person." She paused for a moment, then continued, "Chenqie thinks that even if the Prince Chu is related to this matter, there must be a reason. Your majesty might as well ask the Prince Chu to enter the palace and ask him in person."
The emperor was slightly unhappy, "Why does the empress insist on favoring the Prince Chu? Is it because he holds the military power and has a high position in power? "
"Chenqie is doing this for the emperor's own good. After all, the Prince Chu has rendered meritorious services to the imperial government and the emperor has …"
"Enough!" The Emperor growled, "One yard for one yard, don't talk about his achievements anymore!"
The empress was stunned for a moment. The emperor had never shouted at her before, but this was the first time. She clutched her chest and coughed a few times.
