Chapter 194 Regret
The Queen was punished, some were happy and some were sad.
When the ministers in the court learned about the Queen's situation, some of them hurried to the palace to meet the emperor. Except for Concubine Gu, the other concubines in the harem have not reacted yet, and they seem to be waiting and watching.
However, it is obviously not a good time to plead for mercy.
Because Emperor Zhao was busy talking to the distinguished guests who came from afar. Although the distinguished guest was only a young general in white robes, there was no need for too grand a ceremony for the time being, but the other distinguished guests would arrive tomorrow. Emperor Zhao arranged for the Ministry of Rites to make preparations early and must entertain the general from the South.
Who dares to spoil the fun at this time?
Even though the ministers were anxious, they did not dare to mention the Queen and the legitimate princess when the emperor entertained the distinguished guests. M.
Yu's expressions were as if they had eaten a fly.
In the same palace, any slight movement would attract special attention, not to mention that the Queen was punished for such a big thing.
The news in the East Palace was not isolated.
When Mu Xiuhan heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue, and his face changed on the spot: "What happened to the Queen Mother?"
The eunuchs in the East Palace did not know the inside story, and only heard roughly: "I heard that because of the legitimate princess... offended Princess Nanyang..."
Princess Nanyang again!
Jiang Jingyue clenched the teacup in her hand tightly, and her face immediately darkened: "Yan Li, this disaster star, is simply haunting!"
Damn it! Why do you keep going against her?
The Queen Mother has been deposed. If the Queen Mother is also in trouble, who can she rely on in the future?
Is she really going to be imprisoned with this deposed Queen Mother until she dies of old age?
That bitch Yan Li is her nemesis!
Jiang Jingyue closed her eyes, her heart was beating violently with anger, and she only regretted not tearing that bitch into pieces earlier.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Mu Xiuhan didn't say anything, clenched his hands, and when the pain on his body subsided, he closed his eyes: "Did Yan Li leave the palace?"
"Yes, Princess Nanyang has left the palace." The eunuch replied respectfully, "A general came from the South Kingdom to deliver a letter. The emperor was discussing the affairs of the two countries with him. After leaving Fengyi Palace, he went to Qinzheng Palace. I heard that there were other envoys from the South Kingdom on the way."
Mu Xiuhan didn't have time to pay attention to the South Kingdom and Jin Guo, and said tiredly: "You go down first."
"No, I'll take my leave."
After the eunuch left, the palace soon became quiet.
Mu Xiuhan lay motionless on the bed, like a wooden sculpture, and remained silent for a long time.
Compared to Jiang Jingyue's resentment, now she only regrets.
If he had known that Yan Li was so important to the emperor, he should not have been so impulsive to cancel the engagement even if he hated Yan Li.
Yan Li is the cousin of the Jiang family, and even if he does not cancel the engagement, it is not a loss to marry her.
Because the Jiang family will still be a backing for him, and the reputation of Jiang Taifu will not be damaged because of Yan Li.
With the support of the uncle of the vassal king and the reputation of the Taifu in the court, as long as this Taifu behaves well and does not make big mistakes, the emperor has no reason to abolish the queen or the crown prince.
When he ascends the throne in the future, he can find a reason to make Yan Li one of the concubines.
Wouldn't it be better to appoint another queen and let her fend for herself in the palace?
No matter what, it's better than being in this dilemma now.
Besides, I don't hate Yan Li that much.
Yan Li's exquisite and unworldly face appeared in his mind, and Mu Xiuhan frowned, regretting it so much that his intestines almost turned green.
"Your Highness." Jiang Jingyue walked to the bed and spoke hesitantly, "Do you need me to go back to the Jiang family and ask Yan Li for mercy?"
"The decision is not made by Yan Li, what's the point of asking her for mercy?" Mu Xiuhan said coldly, "Besides, the emperor's order has been issued, and it cannot be changed overnight."
"Then we..."
Mu Xiuhan closed his eyes: "When my injuries recover a little, I will go to the emperor to apologize, and perform well in the future to see if I can win the emperor's heart."
As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Changhai's respectful greetings came from outside: "I greet His Highness Xianwang and Princess."
Jiang Jingyue turned her head and saw Xiao Changhai standing at the door of the palace, respectfully saluting the two.
Feeling slightly uneasy, Jiang Jingyue hurriedly went to meet him: "Eunuch Xiao, there is no need to be polite. What order did the emperor give?"
"Replying to the princess, the emperor said that the Prince Xian's mansion outside the palace has been cleaned up. His Royal Highness Prince Xian will wake up soon, and he is ordered to move out of the East Palace within two days. There must be no delay."
Mu Xiuhan's face was pale. The emperor didn't want to give him any chances?
Jiang Jingyue stared at Xiao Changhai blankly, the smile on the corner of her lips was pale and stiff. After a while, she nodded with difficulty: "I know, thank you, Eunuch Xiao, we will move out of the palace in the next two days."
Xiao Changhai nodded: "I'll take my leave."
