Chapter 1404 The Foolish Empress 27
The queen's feeling was no less than being struck by lightning.
He became the abandoned son of his family, and the person who abandoned him was his biological father who had tried his best to persuade him to give up the imperial examination and marry into the palace.
In the entire family, he is the most knowledgeable and has been humble and respectful since childhood. The eldest brother needs to inherit the family business, the third brother is naughty, and the other brothers are still young. Originally, he didn't want to enter the palace. If he didn't, he would have to find a suitable one from the Dong family branch.
For the Dong family, for his father, and for the wealth and prosperity of his brothers and sisters, he finally agreed despite being unable to withstand the repeated persuasion of his family members.
As a result, he became an outcast!
Dong Zhongchen fell to the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably. He knew that this matter could be big or small. The empress was so angry that she could confiscate her family and exterminate her clan.
The empress' face was cold and oppressive, filling the entire huge palace with chill.
The queen took a deep breath, held her hands on the edge of the bed, and then propped herself up. Kneeling in front of the bed, his voice trembled: "Please have mercy on Your Majesty. Although my father has been greedy, he has not yet colluded with King Duan. Considering that he is already old, he has worked conscientiously for the late emperor for many years and has never made any big mistakes. …”
At the end of the sentence, my voice became more and more choked, and I finally couldn't hold back my tears and stopped crying.
"Look, look at you!" Xining sat up and raised her sleeves to wipe away his tears as though she was distressed, admonishing him as if joking: "You are still the queen, why should you cry? Don't cry."< br>
The Queen shed more tears: "I, I have no face to see Your Majesty..."
His biological father gave up on him, thinking that after King Duan came to power, he would bring the women of the family back into the palace as concubines. He even found a reason to depose Prince Duan and make his daughter the queen. So I knew that King Duan was leading troops to the capital, but he didn't report it secretly. This is a grave sin!
"Okay, okay!" Xining turned to smile, and then turned to Dong Zhongchen with a serious face: "Old man, who told you to give birth to a good son. I will forget about this matter, and there will be a next time. , before I die, I will kill all those who have done wrong to me. I don’t believe it. If I give up my throne, I will not let you die!”
This is great, the answer is yes. If the killing of several people is regarded as a condition for giving up the throne, any county prince will not raise an eyebrow and immediately ask people to be taken out and beheaded, even if it is his wife, concubine, or even his own children.
The word "death" was bitten so hard that Dong Zhongchen couldn't help but his heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.
But the literal meaning is that I won’t kill him this time, so forget it. Immediately shouted: "Your Majesty is benevolent, I am ashamed, I am guilty, I will go back and think about my mistakes immediately."
"Just shut yourself up and think about it." Xining said with a smile: "Go back and make arrangements for your daughter's marriage. This time I rewarded King Duan with twenty beautiful concubines, which is still far from the maximum amount. Are you thinking about your daughter marrying King Duan? Well, if you still want to be married next year, then give it away.”
The empress is really not someone to be trifled with. Death penalty can be avoided, but living penalty cannot be spared. This incident made the empress very unhappy, and it seemed that she could not keep her daughter in the family.
But for the sake of his son, he gave him one year. If you still can't figure it out, then wait until one year later. Basically, the women sent will not be used as concubines. You must know that one year is enough for those concubines to give birth to children. Doesn't that mean that his daughter is sent to be a concubine?
"I will arrange it when I get back. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Dong Zhongchen responded immediately, and he was very grateful. He really wanted to be grateful. This punishment was not too severe. It was given one year and gave him time to choose a marriage.
The words spoken by the king are the decree. Even if he is asked to marry his daughter tonight, he must marry her. If I don’t have a suitable one at home, I have to pull it back when I go to the road.
"Well, hurry up then." Xi Ning smiled and said: "There are many others like you. When I think of it, I will call them one by one and ask them carefully. I am afraid that the person who marries his daughter will If there are too many, the Duke will not be able to choose." Dong Zhongchen quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude and withdrew after receiving permission.
Although it takes one year, if there are more ministers who want to marry their daughters, then good unmarried men will have more choices. So get engaged as soon as possible so that you can feel a little more at ease when the marriage is finalized.
Dong Zhongchen didn't have time to wipe the cold sweat from his head and ran directly outside the palace. Panting, I ran to the carriage outside the palace. I didn't have time to wipe away the hot sweat from running out, so I hurriedly urged me to go back to the house.
After Dong Zhongchen left, Xining waved to the queen: "Stop kneeling, come and sit next to me."
The queen stood up, lowered her head, and slowly sat down, facing her, her eyelids were a little swollen and her nose was slightly red.
Xi Ning sighed slightly: "Don't be sad, worry about why your father treats you like this, this is to know the current affairs. Not only him, but many ministers are like this. Seeing that his son is not taken seriously in the palace, There is no way to gain benefits for the family, so they are all given up. Otherwise, King Duan will come in force, and everyone will be like a blind man, unable to see!"
The queen took a deep breath, but her voice was still trembling when she spoke: "I'm not sad for myself, I'm embarrassed for my father. How he treated me, I am his son and should bear it. But he is your majesty's minister." , how can you keep it secret and not report it?”
Xining smiled: "It's not because I don't want to see you."
In order to repair the relationship between the owner and the queen, the only option is to coax the queen.
Xi Ning looked melancholy, feeling that he was in the drama: "I ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and as an empress, I can't protect myself. You are also gentle and unwilling to make grudges with others. If I love you, I will definitely Being hated by others makes you want to get rid of him. No matter how powerful your father is, he can't help you in the palace and him outside the palace."
"In the past three years, I have been indifferent to you just to make you see clearly that even if you don't fight, someone will fight with you. It can also reassure those people that they don't need to attack you, and I will destroy you in the future."
The queen was stunned when she heard this and looked at her blankly.
She was indifferent to him and allowed those favored concubines and even male favorites to ridicule him, actually to protect him.
Now that I think about it, it makes sense. In the past three years, although the empress had been cold to him, she never mentioned the abolition of the empress. Even though she dominated the empress and showed off her power in front of him, she never mentioned anything about the abolition of the empress.
Xining took the Queen's hand... Well, I sacrificed myself once more to comfort the Queen.
She looked so affectionate that she almost admired herself: "Queen of Love, you have been wronged in these years. In fact, I feel uncomfortable in my heart. But it has to be like this, don't you blame me?"
The queen immediately fell on her body and cried loudly. At this time, he was crying like a child.
It turns out that the one who loves him most in the world is the Empress, who seems to be cold and indifferent to him.
