Chapter 337 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold and Ascetic Monk 41
The queen closed her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes, but stubbornly refused to fall, "I know that I can't argue with you, but I beg the emperor to think that the prince is innocent, Don't involve him."
Hearing this, Emperor Xuanwu felt extremely complicated.
How could he not know that in this harem, who is completely innocent of all the intrigues and intrigues? But Min'er's death is an eternal pain in his heart, and he must have an explanation.
"I have my own discretion regarding the prince's affairs. But you must pay the price for what you have done."
After Emperor Xuanwu finished speaking, he turned around and walked away.
As soon as he walked out of Fengyi Palace, the leader eunuch Fu'an hurriedly stepped forward, unable to hide the joy on his face, "To inform the emperor, Yueying has secretly brought the sixth prince back to the palace, and is currently waiting in the imperial study room. "
"Really?"
When Emperor Xuanwu heard this, the gloom and coldness on his face disappeared instantly, and turned into excitement and surprise.
Not waiting for Fu'an to answer, he turned around and hurried to the imperial study room.
Fu'an was startled for a moment, then quickly followed after he realized what he was doing.
In the imperial study room, the candlelight flickered, reflecting Xuanji's handsome, yet cold and calm face.
He was dressed in plain clothes, and his brows showed the indifference of an eminent monk, but also vaguely revealed complex emotions that did not belong to this pure land.
Emperor Xuanwu stepped into the side hall and his eyes instantly locked on Xuanji.
When I saw him last time, I felt that he looked somewhat similar to me.
But I didn't think deeply about it at that time, and I didn't expect that it was my long-lost son.
It's still his and Min'er's child.
"Your Majesty, you have suffered outside these years."
Emperor Xuanwu walked over excitedly, his voice trembling slightly, his expression guilty and happy, unable to control himself, as if he was afraid that all this was just a dream , it breaks when touched.
Xuanji raised his head, his eyes met with Emperor Xuanwu's, his expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish.
He stood up slowly, clasped his hands together, and saluted, "The poor monk has met the emperor."
The words "poor monk" were like cold water poured on the head, making Emperor Xuanwu's heart tighten.
But he quickly adjusted his mood and said with a kind expression: "Your Majesty, I know you are a monk, but you are also my flesh and blood, my and Min'er's child. Can you call me father? Emperor?"
Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed in Xuanji's eyes. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "I have seen my father."
The voice was soft but clear. Spread throughout the entire side hall.
Emperor Xuanwu's eyes were reddish, and his hands were shaking with excitement. He suddenly held Xuanji's hand, as if he wanted to transfer the twenty years of longing and debt to him in the warmth of this moment.
"Okay, okay, okay, my prince is finally back. If Min'er knew about it, she would definitely be very happy."
He pulled Xuanji to sit down, and carefully Asked about life in Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
"Your Majesty, how are you doing at Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple? How is Master treating you?"
His expression was full of concern, and he was extremely curious about his past life.
Xuanji smiled slightly, with soft eyes, "Back to my father, everything is well with me at Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. Master cares about me very much and teaches me attentively. I have benefited a lot and I am very grateful."
After hearing this, Emperor Xuanwu felt a little relieved, but he felt sad again.
"Wanfo Temple has been kind to you in raising you, and I will naturally never forget it. I will decree that Ten Thousand Buddha Temple be changed to Huguo Temple as a royal temple, and I will order people to reshape the golden body of the Buddha statue and repair it. Temple, to express my gratitude.”
“Thank you, Father.”
Xuanji stood up and saluted gratefully, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.
The word "Father" means that he will step into this whirlpool of power again. He doesn't know if he can handle it?
"Wanfo Temple has been kind to you in nurturing you, and this is what it should be."
Emperor Xuanwu motioned for him to sit down, and then said slowly: "You are my prince. , I will give you everything a prince should have. I will order someone to arrange a palace for you and let you have a good rest. Tomorrow, I will issue an order in the court to restore your status as the sixth prince and hold a royal ceremony. Tell the ancestors that my prince has finally returned home."
Xuanji felt mixed emotions in his heart. He lowered his head and clasped his hands, "I obey the decree."
Both father and son. Chatted until late at night.
Xuanji left the imperial study and was led to Jingyang Palace by the eunuch.
It is a palace located deep in the palace, which is both gorgeous and quiet.
The palace door slowly opens, and the moonlight shines on the bluestone-paved ground, reflecting the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling respectfully on both sides.
Their voices were uniform: "I have met His Highness the Sixth Prince."
Xuanji stepped into this unfamiliar territory, and every step he took seemed extremely heavy.
He was wearing a simple monk's robe, which was incompatible with the luxury of the palace, but his deep eyes held a calmness and indifference that transcended his age. He gently raised his hand and motioned for everyone to get up: "Everyone, get up."
The cold and gentle voice carried a majesty that could not be ignored.
It’s like being born with it.
When you walk into the inner hall, you will be greeted by the faint fragrance of sandalwood and flowers, which makes people feel peaceful.
Xuanji looked around. The exquisite carved window lattice and the screen inlaid with gems all revealed the royal nobility and luxury.
However, in his eyes, these were like passing clouds, and his heart had already drifted to Lianhua County.
I wonder how Yaoer and her two children are doing. What are they doing now?
"Your Highness, this is the palace prepared for you. If you need anything, just ask the servants."
The eunuch who led the way introduced it respectfully, his words full of caution.
Although the Sixth Prince did not grow up in the palace, he was the legitimate son of Empress Yuan, and Empress Yuan was the emperor's favorite woman in his life.
Even after more than twenty years, the emperor still remembered him, so naturally they did not dare to neglect him.
Xuanji nodded slightly and stepped into the palace.
Late at night, at the Shenwu Gate of the Royal Palace.
The sound of horse hooves was rapid and powerful, breaking the silence of the night.
Dugu Ye arrived on horseback, dusty and dusty, his eyes full of anxiety and irritability.
Suddenly, he tightened the reins suddenly, and the horse's front hooves soared into the air, then landed firmly on the ground.
He turned over and dismounted, casually throwing the reins to Yunyin who was following behind, and strode into the palace.
He did not return to the East Palace, nor did he bother to wash up and tidy up, but went straight to Fengyi Palace.
In Fengyi Palace, the candlelight flickered, reflecting the queen's figure.
She sat alone in front of the bronze mirror, her back looking lonely and lonely.
Dugu Ye pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing this scene, his heart tightened.
"Mother, what's going on? Why did my father put you under house arrest?"
Dugu Ye's voice was filled with questions and confusion.
The queen turned around slowly, with a haggard face and tears in her eyes: "Ye'er, you're back. It's a long story..."
"The Queen Mother said slowly."
As soon as he lifted his robe, he sat down on the stool, looked at the Queen, and listened quietly.
The queen sighed softly and slowly told the whole story: "I planned Concubine Min's death. I don't care how she favored her. I'm used to it anyway, and I know that your father doesn't like me. . What I'm afraid of is that after she gives birth to the prince, she will threaten your status."
Her. Looking at Dugu Ye, "You must have heard about how favored Concubine Min was back then. If she had not died, you might not be the crown prince today. The Queen Mother knows that it is not good to do this, but the Queen Mother does not regret it."< br>
"Mother, you..." Hearing this, Dugu Ye was shocked and even more complicated.
His mother may be cruel to others, but to him, she is full of maternal love.
Dugu Ye was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Mother, my father is aware of this matter now, and I am afraid it will be difficult to do anything about it. It is certain that the queen will be deposed, and maybe my father will give you Bai Ling. Poisoned wine, or a dagger made the queen commit suicide."
Seeing that the queen's face was pale and her body was crumbling. , unbearable flashed in his eyes, but he continued: "As the prince, I am afraid that I cannot change my father's decision. However, I can promise my mother that I will not let her really die."
These are all expected things. Everyone in the former harem knew how much his father loved Concubine Min.
Similarly, if someone dares to kill Yao'er, let alone giving him poisonous wine and white silk, cramping and peeling off the skin, or breaking the body into pieces.
He had no way to change his father's decision, but before the execution, he secretly moved his mother out of the palace.
It is still possible to find a death row inmate with a similar appearance, disguise himself as the queen, and die in her place.
"Ye'er, you..."
The queen looked at him in shock.
She didn’t know what her son would do, but she believed in his ability and felt relieved knowing that she would not die.
As for the queen's position, there is nothing to miss, and this palace is not worthy of her nostalgia.
As long as she can watch her son successfully ascend to the throne of God for the rest of her life, and live a happy and noble life, she will be satisfied.
