Chapter 339 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold Ascetic Monk 43
“Ye’er, do you know what you are going to say?”
Emperor Xuanwu’s eyes locked on him tightly, his voice full of disbelief.
"I know. But I know even more that some feelings are more important than power and position; some people are more worth cherishing than country."
Dugu Ye's voice is firm and affectionate, as if All preparations have been made.
As Dugu Ye finished speaking, the hall fell into a dead silence, with only the heavy breathing of Emperor Xuanwu echoing in the air.
The ministers looked at each other in disbelief. What kind of love could make a noble prince willing to give up everything?
Xuan Ji finally couldn't help but stood up, his eyes were as deep as a pool, and his cold voice had a hint of sourness that was barely noticeable, "Brother, do you know what your decision means? Regarding the matter of the mother and queen, The father has his own authority. As a prince, the future of Dayu is on his shoulders. How can he ignore the country because of his personal affairs? "
Although he didn't know the woman that the prince was talking about? Whether it was Yao'er or not, as long as there was a slight possibility, he had to stand up and stop it.
When Dugu Ye saw Xuan Ji's words to stop him, he naturally understood the reason in his heart, and a sarcastic look flashed in his eyes, "Sixth brother, you have never experienced what I feel, so you can't understand it. In my eyes, the word love, It’s more important than Mount Tai. If you can’t even protect the love in your heart, don’t give up the position of prince.”
Xuanji stared at him with deep eyes, wanting to say, I have experienced it, and the feelings during it are no less than yours.
However, it was difficult for him to say these words.
Emperor Xuanwu sat on the dragon throne, always feeling that there seemed to be some kind of confusion between the two brothers.
His eyes drifted back and forth between the two people, and finally landed on Dugu Ye.
He knew his son's temper very well. Once he made a decision, he would not be able to hold him back.
But how can the position of prince be a child's play?
Furthermore, this son is really outstanding. At least after his inspection, he is an extremely qualified candidate for the emperor.
He was so qualified that he even felt inferior to himself, although deep down he didn't want to admit it.
Emperor Xuanwu's eyes fell on Dugu Ye and said in a deep voice: "Ye'er, do you know that this action of yours is not only irresponsible for yourself, but also disloyal to Dayu?"
Dugu Ye knelt straight and his tone was full of determination: "I know that my sins are serious, but I beg my father to forgive me. I am willing to spend the rest of my life to atone for my mother's sins, and to find a home for my heart."
< br>
Emperor Xuanwu glared at him, extremely angry, and even couldn't help but swear, "You're a sinner, don't use your mother as an excuse. I will never agree to this matter. You should go back to the East Palace immediately to reflect. Without my order, you can't do anything." Take half a step."
He was still angry, looked around, and said coldly: "Today's events must not be reported to anyone. Anyone who violates the rules will be severely punished and withdraw from the court."
After saying this, he stood up. Leaving the dragon chair, he turned around and walked away.
The ministers looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you.
Afterwards, they all went to see the prince kneeling in the center of the hall.
They just felt that His Highness the Crown Prince, who had always been wise and mighty, simply took the wrong medicine today.
If not, how could you do such an outrageous thing?
Look, the emperor was so angry that he cursed, which shows how angry the emperor was.
Xuanji's eyes were complicated, and he took a deep look at Dugu Ye who was kneeling in the center of the hall, then turned around and left quietly.
The eyes of the princes and princes in the palace who have already participated in politics all flashed with disappointment.
It's true that the father is the emperor. It's not like he doesn't have a son to inherit the throne. Dugu Ye doesn't even want to be the prince. The queen also made such a big mistake, so why not just grant him permission?
If the position of prince becomes vacant, they will have a chance to fight for it.
The princes left with disappointed faces.
Although the courtiers did not understand the prince's behavior, they left one after another.
Only Zhao Guogong stayed where he was, looking like he wanted to speak but hesitated.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward: "Your Highness, that woman..."
Before Zhao Guogong could finish speaking, Dugu Ye interrupted him and warned him coldly, "It's Gu's business. You don’t need to say anything, if you dare to do it behind my back What, don’t blame Gu Bu Nian for family ties, uprooting your Zhao Guogong lineage.”
Dugu Ye didn’t care how ugly Zhao Guogong’s face was, he stood up naturally and reached out to brush his non-existent hair. The dust walked away quickly.
The morning light has just broken, and the bright yellow glazed tiles are glowing with a faint golden light, but it cannot shine into the deep palace of Fengyi Palace.
Before the bells in the lower court had completely dissipated, a cold decree swept in like a cold wind, reaching this former noble place.
"Common Zhao, come with our family."
The voice of the leader eunuch Fu'an was emotionless, and the yellow silk in his hand reflected slightly in the sun. It was the imperial edict that decided the fate of the queen.
Empress Zhao sat in front of the bronze mirror. The figure in the mirror was haggard, but her former glory could not be concealed.
She gently stroked the silver strands in her hair, and a wry smile appeared on her lips, as if she had anticipated this day.
“Mr. Fu’an, I’m sorry.”
Her voice was unusually calm, as if what she was about to step into was not a cold palace, but the other side of liberation.
The atmosphere in the East Palace is solemn.
Duguye stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, his back looking particularly lonely.
He looked into the distance with a complicated expression.
I thought that because of Xuanji’s father and the mistakes made by his mother, his father would successfully allow him to resign as the crown prince.
Unexpectedly, things are not as expected. Not only did he not resign as prince smoothly, he was also scolded.
Thinking that the queen mother has moved to the cold palace...
Dugu Ye pondered for a moment and said to Yunyin beside him: "Yunyin, when you go to do something, you must do it in secret .”
“Your Highness, please give me orders.”
Yunyin knelt on the ground, his voice low and respectful.
"The Queen Mother has moved to the cold palace. Soon, the Emperor Father will definitely order someone to secretly execute the Queen Mother. I can't bear it in my lonely heart. You go find a death row prisoner in the prison, disguise yourself as the Queen Mother, and then quietly send the Queen Mother out of the palace. . The rest of the matters will be arranged by Guzi."
Duguye turned to Yun Yin, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Yun Yin did not ask any more questions and respectfully accepted the order and left.
The night was like ink, the moon was hidden and the stars were sinking. In the cold palace, the cold wind passed through the hall, bringing with it waves of cold echoes.
The palace walls are mottled, and the years seem to have solidified into eternal desolation here.
After the queen was deposed, she was imprisoned here. The dignity and prosperity of the past are now only a room of loneliness and despair.
Wearing night clothes and a stern face, Yunyin quietly stepped into this forgotten world.
He brought with him a death row prisoner whose face was covered with a piece of elaborate fake skin, which bore a striking resemblance to the Queen's face.
Without looking closely, it is almost difficult to tell the authenticity.
The queen was sitting beside the dilapidated bed in the cold palace, holding an old handkerchief tightly in her hand and looking out the window with empty eyes, as if recalling the prosperity and glory of the past.
Hearing the footsteps, she turned around suddenly, a trace of surprise and wariness flashed in her eyes, but when she saw clearly that it was Yunyin, the wariness quickly turned into complex emotions.
She stood up and walked over, her eyes instantly fell on the face of the death row prisoner. Seeing that the appearance and body shape were very similar to hers, she probably guessed something about it.
"Yunyin, this...is this arranged by Ye'er?"
the queen asked with a trembling voice.
Yunyin knelt down on one knee and explained respectfully: "Empress, this is the plan of the Crown Prince. He is well aware of the pain of the cold palace, and also knows that the emperor will not let the empress go, so he ordered his subordinates to Find one in prison The prisoner on death row disguised himself as the empress and suffered on your behalf. The empress will leave the palace with me and go to Jiangnan to enjoy her old age."
When the queen heard this, tears burst into her eyes. They were tears of freedom that she had not seen for a long time. "Okay, okay, Ye'er...is indeed my son."
She murmured to herself, her expression extremely excited, both pleased and reluctant.
She looked at the death row prisoner who was about to die in her place, looked at it carefully, and made sure there was nothing wrong before she felt relieved.
Seeing this, Kumogakure quickly stepped forward and put a cloak on the queen to block the chill of the night.
"My Lady, time is of the essence, we will set off immediately."
The queen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, knowing that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, and nodded slightly, "Okay, let's go."
< br >Yun Yin put his big hand on the queen's waist and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I'm offended."
After saying that, he took the queen out of the cold palace in a few ups and downs, carefully avoiding the patrolling guards. , leaving the palace in the blink of an eye.
Only the death row prisoner was left sitting quietly by the bed, becoming the queen's final substitute in this deep palace.
On the outskirts of the capital, a simple carriage parked quietly under an old locust tree.
Beside the carriage, Dugu Ye was dressed in brocade clothes, with a tall and straight figure, and a bit of evil charm in his handsomeness.
When he saw the queen and Yunyin appearing, he immediately went to greet them.
"Mother."
Duguye stepped forward and personally helped the queen get into the carriage, his eyes full of reluctance.
"Ye'er, Queen Mother..."
The queen's voice was choked, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.
She held Dugu Ye's hand tightly, as if she wanted to convey all her love and expectations to him.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, the arrangements for the children over there in the south of the Yangtze River have been made, and there are dedicated people to take care of them. All you need to do is take care of yourself. However, from now on, the Queen Mother's name and identity must be hidden. I hope the Queen Mother can Get used to this kind of life.”
Dugu Ye spoke softly, and every word was filled with concern.
The queen nodded with tears in her eyes, knowing that this was the only way she could survive.
Whether you go to Jiangnan to retire, you can stay away from the disputes and calculations of the palace for the rest of your life.
There is no need to die in the cold palace. She knows how cruel that man is.
I also know that the man will never let me go.
"Ye'er, you should take care of yourself."
The queen put away the thoughts in her eyes and gave her final instructions. Then, under the escort of Yun Yin, she slowly left the capital and headed towards the unknown south of the Yangtze River. go.
Duguye stood there and watched the carriage go away. He didn't turn back to the East Palace until it disappeared into the night.
