Chapter 58 Disfigured Palace Maid VS Cold-blooded Emperor 58
Because of this incident, the Queen Mother’s hard-earned affection for Yu Yao dropped to the freezing point. If it weren’t for her, why would the Emperor think of dismissing the Sixth Palace?
The Queen Mother felt that everything was Yu Yao's fault, regardless of whether she was still in confinement.
He led the people directly to Yuexian Palace angrily, ignoring everyone present and not saving any face, just scolding Yu Yao.
Vicious words such as fox-bewitching lord, enchanting concubine who subjugates the country, beauty is a disaster, vixen, etc. It seems that her crimes are countless.
Yu Yao was dumbfounded by the Queen Mother's scolding, and for those who didn't know, she thought she had done something heinous.
It was also at this time that she learned that Ye Beichen was going to dismiss the harem.
But she didn't hear any news, and Ye Beichen never mentioned it to her.
Qingtan Qingyu didn’t tell her either.
Although she was a little angry at being scolded by the Queen Mother, she was happy in her heart.
Yu Yao didn't say anything or reply, she just remained silent and allowed the Queen Mother to scold her.
No matter what she said, the Queen Mother would think she was quibbling.
From the perspective of others, even the Imperial Concubine was so scolded by the Queen Mother that she did not dare to speak.
If I hadn’t been in confinement and couldn’t cry, I might have shed tears.
Qingtan Qingyu felt extremely distressed.
If the queen mother has any dissatisfaction, she can go to the emperor. Why are you scolding their empress so harshly? The empress is still in confinement.
Ye Beichen found out soon, and then went to Cining Palace with a cold face.
Cining Palace!
"Emperor, the Ai family knows that you have always been a good emperor who is diligent and caring for the people. The Ai family also knows about the heir. Before, you seemed not to care, but in fact you were very worried. Now the world is at peace, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the imperial concubine is also The Ai family is so happy to have given birth to an heir for the emperor."
The Queen Mother looked at Ye Beichen who had a cold look on her face, and said again: "You want to make the imperial concubine the queen, but the Ai family has no objection. If you want to dismiss the Sixth Palace for her, the Ai family will never agree."
Ye Beichen listened to the Queen Mother's words expressionlessly, and did not explain why he wanted to dismiss the Sixth Palace.
But suddenly said: "Mother, my son will send someone to send you to Wutai Mountain for training tomorrow. Please don't interfere in the affairs of the palace."
The Queen Mother's face darkened, and her voice Solemn and eardrum-shaking, "Emperor, what do you mean? Are you going to drive the Ai family out of the palace?"
This is an era when imperial power is supreme. It is important for the emperor and his ministers to be father and son. Pay attention to filial piety.
As an emperor, you must fulfill your filial piety, so that you can set an example for the world.
The Queen Mother said this to accuse the Emperor of being unfilial.
Ye Beichen rubbed his brows with a headache, and said helplessly: "Mother, Wutai Mountain is quiet, the environment is good, and there is no shortage of people to serve you. I think you will live a more comfortable life there."
That’s what he really thinks. When he gets older, he should take good care of himself. Why should he care so much and worry so much?
It was thankless and annoying, and even Yaoer was wronged, so it would be better to send him away as soon as possible.
It will be more convenient for him and Yao'er to live in a world of two if they are all sent away.
Ye Beichen thought very heartlessly.
Seeing what the Queen Mother wanted to say, he added: "As for the affairs in the palace, the Queen Mother does not have to worry, Yao'er will take care of them. If the Queen Mother wants to see Jingxuan and Nan Yan, she can come back to see her at any time. Look."
"Does the emperor have to do this?"
The Queen Mother looked at the strange son in front of her with a gloomy face and said angrily.
Ye Beichen pursed his lips and glanced at the Queen Mother lightly: "Mother, I have made up my mind."
"Okay, okay, he is such a good son of the Ai family. He actually sent the Ai family to Wutai Mountain for a woman. It's really good."
The Queen Mother laughed angrily and pointed at Ye Beichen with a trembling hand, her face extremely expressionless. He was ugly and obviously angry.
Ye Beichen twitched his lips, said nothing more, and left quickly.
On the second day, the Queen Mother was sent to Mount Wutai by Ye Beichen.
Every civil and military court was shocked. Even the Queen Mother could not persuade the emperor and was sent to Mount Wutai for retirement.
This shows how determined the emperor is in dismissing the Sixth Palace.
Groups of ministers were waiting at the entrance of Zichen Hall to go to court.
"The emperor is so determined to disband the harem that even the queen mother has been sent to Wutai. Do you think we should continue to stop it?"
"This kind of dismissal has never happened in the past dynasties. It has happened. Since the imperial concubine can give birth to an heir, so can other concubines. For the sake of the future of the great cause, I will not agree. "
It will soon be time to go to court.
Ye Beichen sat high on the dragon chair, his cold eyes slowly scanning the ministers in the palace. The majesty of the superior made the ministers in the Zichen Palace dare not take a breath.
“I have made up my mind, dear friends, you don’t need to say anything. If any dear friend wants to remonstrate to death, the pillar is right there. You can hit it, but I will never let anyone stop it.”
He looked at the hall full of ministers with a half-smile, pointed at the big pillar with a golden dragon coiled in the hall and said.
The corners of Manchao Wenwu's mouth twitched, the emperor even said these words, how could they dare to step forward to remonstrate, it's not like they wanted to die. The old minister who had said he would not agree at the entrance of Zichen Palace did not dare to speak now.
He didn't even dare to stand up.
It can be seen that I still don’t want to die.
Ye Beichen's decision shocked the entire harem and concubines.
Some concubines neither want to go home nor go to the royal gardens to retire. No matter which outcome, it will not be good for them.
You will definitely be disliked by others when you return to your parents’ home.
If you go to the Royal Garden, you will die alone.
Although you will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life, if you stay in the palace, even if you are not pampered, if you can have a son and a half, you will be dependable for the rest of your life.
But the emperor has made up his mind, and the concubines in the harem have no choice but to leave even if they are unwilling.
Concubine Lin doesn’t want to go anywhere, even if she dies, she will die in the palace.
Yongfu Palace!
At midnight, the fire was blazing, and the flames reached the sky.
Concubine Lin was dressed in a phoenix crown and a rosy robe, holding a wine pot, admiring the flames that were blowing in the wind and devouring everything in the palace.
She went from a lowly singing girl in the south of the Yangtze River to a noble concubine in a great career.
It was once so beautiful, but in the end he was imprisoned in the palace and ended up being bullied by his slaves.
But even though it was so miserable, she still had to be kicked out by the man she loved.
Concubine Lin was completely desperate and did not want to continue living.
Die, let’s burn them all together.
Looking at Caiyue struggling in the flames, and the two eunuchs who stepped on her and rubbed her.
The smile on Concubine Lin's face became more and more wanton and cheerful.
The only regret is that I can't see Tatsuro again.
Concubine Lin closed her eyes tiredly, waiting for death to come.
Ye Beichen really didn't expect that Concubine Lin would be so decisive.
Although he hated Concubine Lin, she was still the woman he had fallen in love with.
Seeing her burning the palace and committing suicide so decisively, I was deeply shocked.
Afterwards, he hurriedly ordered the guards to save him.
Concubine Lin opened her eyes and looked at the man who finally appeared outside Yongfu Palace through the blazing flames, her eyes blurred by tears.
"Chenlang, it was my fault that I accidentally lost you and made you fall in love with someone else. I only hope that we will never meet each other again in the next life."
In Concubine Lin's hands The wine bottle fell to the ground and looked at Ye Beichen reluctantly.
Then he threw himself into the blazing flames with a determined expression.
She was humming a ballad, which was the same ballad she sang when she first met Ye Beichen in Jiangnan.
Ye Beichen stood outside Yongfu Palace, listening to the song sung by Concubine Lin, his eyes becoming more and more complicated.
Past memories reappeared in my mind.
At that time, she was pure, kind, weak and beautiful, and her beauty made his heart beat.
But later I discovered that she was not as beautiful as I imagined, and could even be said to be vicious.
There is no difference between her and the women in the palace.
These thoughts only lasted for a moment, and Ye Beichen quickly came back to his senses.
Afterwards, he hurriedly ordered the guards to save him.
When Yu Yao listened to Qingtan's report in Yuexian Palace, she was so angry that she wanted to scold her.
Concubine Lin would die if she wanted to, and she chose to die in this way.
Isn’t this the intention to let Ye Beichen remember it and then feel guilty?
The fire in Yongfu Palace was so strong that the guards did not dare to rush in.
The only option was to put out the fire first. When the fire was extinguished and then rushed in, Concubine Lin had been burned to death.
