C290 Wake Queen

Today, the Red Luan Courtyard was silent and everyone became nervous.

The three days that Mu Chuyang had mentioned were for today, and if Duan Yunfei was still unable to wake up by this evening, then the consequences of this matter were truly unimaginable.

After the emperor left the imperial court, he rushed to Duan Yunfei's Red Luan Courtyard and sat quietly by her side, waiting for her to wake up.

On the other side of the palace, after hearing that Yuwen Di had come out from Duan Yingluo's courtyard, Duan Yingluo did not eat or drink at all. You can't get out of bed.

After the Queen found out about this, she became extremely anxious and personally made the snack that Duan Yingluo liked to eat the most. However, Duan Yingluo's palace was sealed tight, and she did not want to see anyone. Even the empress closed the door.

There was someone in the palace reporting this matter to Yuwen Di, who was currently guarding right next to Duan Yunfei. Even her gaze was unwilling to leave. He only let out a light sigh and gestured for that person to leave. However, no one knew that the ten fingers under his robe were trembling nonstop, together with the pain in his chest.

This was probably the greatest grief a Son of Heaven could show.

Suddenly, a sound came from outside the gates of the Red Luan Courtyard, breaking the silence in the courtyard.

A palace maid shouted from outside the door, "The empress has arrived."

The empress quickly entered the palace and bowed to the emperor. "Greetings, your majesty."

Yuwen Di did not reply, and only replied after a long while. What are you doing here? "

"Chenqie had been sick for the past few days, so I was unable to come to visit Thirteenth Princess. I heard that Thirteenth Princess will wake up today, so chenqie specifically rushed over to take a look. " The Queen answered the Emperor as she walked towards Duan Yunfei's bedside.

Duan Yunfei's body seemed to have recovered a little, and the dark green color on her face lessened. Her breathing was steady, and she was no different from an ordinary person. However, there was still no sign of him waking up.

"Who told you that Thirteenth Princess would wake up today?" "His words are bland, and there is not the slightest hint of anger or joy in her tone." Kill them for me. "

As soon as the emperor spoke, the empress was shocked and her face turned ugly. She walked up to look at the emperor, bowed to him, and said, "Chenqie was worried about the illness of the Thirteenth Princess, that's why she ordered people to report to chenqie every day. May I ask which palace rule this person violated, for the emperor actually wants to execute him?"

The emperor did not raise his head, but used a warm handkerchief to wipe the back of Duan Yunfei's hand. He then turned to the empress and said, "There is too much to say about this servant. There must be no one like him in the palace in the future. If not, I will cut off his tongue, cut off his arms, and throw them into the mountains to feed the wolves. "

The emperor's tone was natural, but it made the empress shudder.

The empress naturally heard the emperor's tone and couldn't help feeling a bit angry. He opened his mouth and said to the emperor, "Your majesty is probably muddleheaded today. There has never been such a precedent in the palace."

Hearing the empress's words, the emperor put down the handkerchief in his hand, stood up, and looked at the empress. A pleased smile appeared on his face, and he said, "The empress probably doesn't know, but yesterday I had already used this kind of punishment on the maids and fructus, which could be considered as setting a precedent for the empress to rule the harem."

As the emperor was speaking to the empress, the empress was so frightened by his words that she almost fell to the ground. Autumn Water, who was at the side, quickly helped the empress up and took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat that had seeped from her forehead.

Seeing the Queen frightened to such an extent, the Emperor smiled and sat down on the bedside again. He cast a sidelong glance at the Queen, and then said to Qiu Shui at the side, "The Empress' health is not good, hurry and bring the Queen back to the palace to rest. "I think that the Queen will be severely ill every time she comes to Red Luan Palace, probably because she's at loggerheads with this courtyard. For the Queen's Phoenix Body's safety, it's best that she doesn't come to Red Luan Palace anymore."

"Your Majesty, chenqie …" Although the emperor had made it clear, the empress still had no intention of leaving. She called out to the Emperor that she had something to say.

But before she could finish her words, the Emperor opened his mouth once more. He turned around and spoke to the Queen, "Empress, Sixth Princess ordered for people to secretly poison Thirteenth Princess's ginseng soup. Murdering the princess is a huge crime, but seeing that Sixth Princess Duan Yingluo is our biological daughter, we cannot bear to take her life. From then on, we will forever be imprisoned in our own palace and never be allowed to step even half a step out of the courtyard. "

"Your Majesty, please reconsider." The empress didn't expect the emperor to be so heartless, panicking all of a sudden as she shouted at the emperor. "After all, she is your daughter and your concubine's own flesh and blood. Your concubine doesn't believe that she would do something so heinous as that. I hope that Your Majesty will understand."

"Did the empress ask us to reconsider? Did she feel that there was some sort of injustice behind all this?" "Your Majesty?" the emperor feigned surprise as he looked at the empress. "If that's the case, the Queen can bring it up, even if we have to reopen the trial, we have to give Little Thirteen an explanation, and even more so, restore Ying Luo's innocence."

Hearing the emperor's words, the empress fell silent, finally kowtowing heavily to the ground.

"Since the empress has no objection, let us return early to rest." Seeing that the Empress had stopped speaking, Yuwen Di did not want to reply. Instead, he waved his hands at her, signalling her to go out. Since the empress has no objections, the imperial edict is already on the way. It will soon spread to Sixth Princess's palace hall.

"Chenqie shall obey." The empress spoke in a barely audible voice to the emperor, and then slowly withdrew.

As soon as the empress stepped out of the palace gates, she nearly went limp and collapsed.

It was a good thing that the empress was supported by autumn water. She said carefully to the empress, "Empress, please slow down."

The words spoken by the Emperor today were like a sharp sword, each stroke slicing through the Empress' heart.

The empress had originally been anxious and worried that the emperor would really consider Duan Yunfei as her daughter and stop the Fifth Prince from holding the throne. That was why she came up with this idea, and wanted to use it to help the Fifth Prince get rid of Duan Yunfei.

Even if the emperor wrongly thought that it was the Sixth Princess's doing, she would still think of a way to save his life. When the day comes for the Fifth Prince to become the emperor, he would naturally be able to easily wash away the grievances within the Sixth Princess and compensate her for everything that she deserved.

Who would have thought that a single mistake would lead to a single mistake. Now, it was a situation where everyone lost.
