Chapter 153
Hearing this, Eunuch Fu's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he looked at Zhao Yan aside in shock.

The imperial edict to abolish the queen was sent in by Zhao Yan, and she stayed there for a long time. Zhao suddenly committed suicide, so naturally it had something to do with her.

Zhao Yan didn't care about Eunuch Fu's shocked look and said calmly, "I will report the truth to the emperor. Eunuch, don't worry."

Eunuch Fu didn't expect her to speak so frankly, and the deposed queen was her biological aunt. Now that the Zhao family was deposed and committed suicide in the palace, she also lost a supporter. How could she be so calm?
Although Eunuch Fu was surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He blessed himself slightly and said respectfully, "Mother, please come inside."

Zhao Yan nodded slightly and walked in.

Eunuch Fu followed closely behind.

In the imperial study, Feng Mingye was reviewing memorials. After Zhao Yan entered, he knelt down directly in front of him. Eunuch Fu knelt down without hesitation.

"what happened?"

Feng Mingye raised his eyes to look at her, asked a question, and then lowered his head to read the memorial.

Eunuch Fu said in a deep voice, "Reporting to your Majesty, Empress Zhao just committed suicide."

Hearing this, Feng Mingye's hand paused, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yan with some surprise in his eyes.

He only deposed the queen and did not order her to be killed.

Zhao Yan was stared at by him but did not panic at all. He said with a normal expression, "I just announced the decree. After I was deposed, I asked me some questions and I answered truthfully. That's all."

Feng Mingye asked, "What did she ask you?"

Zhao Yan said truthfully, "After I was deposed, I asked about my identity. Will the Zhao family help her recover?"

Hearing these words, Feng Mingye's lips curved into a playful smile.

This indeed seemed like something Zhao could ask. It was already this time and she was still dreaming!
Feng Mingye stared at Zhao Yan and asked, "Then how did you answer?"

Zhao Yan straightened her back and said word by word, "After I replied, I am not entering the palace for anyone, just to save my life. I don't want to participate in any fights, let alone be used casually as a scapegoat." , I just want to live well."

She said this very calmly, and Feng Mingye became more interested in her.

But he was a good person, and he also knew that this was the truth that Zhao Yan could tell. Even if he continued to question her, her answer would still be a lie.

Zhao Yan was proving to him that she was not a puppet of the Zhao family, nor was she the queen's helper, nor would she help Feng Zhiqi.

Feng Mingye had always been wary of Zhao Yan, but after this incident, he became interested in her. From now on, Zhao Yan is not a dispensable existence in his heart.

Since she wants to live, Feng Mingye will fulfill her wish.

"You are mine. As long as you do your duty, no one can take your life."

Zhao Yan immediately kowtowed and thanked her. Feng Mingye stood up and helped her up personally.

This time, it's not a false support.

Zhao Yan met Feng Mingye's gaze and immediately understood that she had made the right move today.

Zhao Ying indeed showed her a clear path. Instead of being thrown into Princess Qi by Zhao Liquan and tortured by Gu Linqiao, it would be better to enter the palace and live peacefully.

At this moment, Zhao Yan was extremely grateful to Zhao Ying.

Feng Mingye asked Zhao Yan some other things. After some exchanges, Feng Mingye became more interested in Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan and Ru Guifei are two completely different women. Ru Guifei is a vine swaying in the wind and needs to cling to him tightly to survive.But Zhao Yan is different. She has choices and means. She knows what she wants and works hard for it. She will not feel sorry for herself after making a choice.

One is as tender as water, the other is as bright as light, both are so lovable.

After Zhao Yan left the imperial study, Feng Mingye's gentle expression calmed down, and then he looked at Eunuch Fu.

"The queen committed suicide after she was deposed. What did she say?"

Feng Mingye suddenly asked a question, but Eunuch Fu was well prepared and said immediately, "I'm waiting outside. Empress Fei and Empress Yan spoke in a low voice. I didn't hear the whole thing, but based on what they said, I guessed that Empress Fei and Yan The empress seems to be dissatisfied with Mr. Zhao."

"Before Empress Yan left, she asked Empress Yan to help her watch over the fate of Prime Minister Zhao. She was afraid that she would resent Prime Minister Zhao before she died."

"Zhao Liquan?"

There was a touch of sarcasm in Feng Mingye's eyes, "This old cunning guy, at first I thought he would support Qi'er from beginning to end, but I didn't expect that he is also a coward, for fear of suffering the same disaster as a fish in the pond."

Although he said this, Eunuch Fu was too sensible and did not answer the question.

"I thought that after being deposed, she would endure until the day when the Zhao family stood up for her. Zhao Yan went to deliver the imperial edict in person. He must have known Zhao's plan, so he exposed her dream in advance."

Feng Mingye sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

After all, Ms. Zhao had been his couple for more than 20 years, but now that she died, he didn't feel any regret at all, and even felt a little bit resentful. She shouldn't have been allowed to die so happily!
"Your Majesty, what do you say to the noble concubine?"

Eunuch Fu was talking about Concubine Ru’s poisoning and miscarriage.

Feng Mingye said, "Check, find out the truth. Zhao committed suicide because she died out of fear of crime. I didn't force her to die because of my heartlessness. I don't want to bear some charges for no reason."

If the Zhao family were alive, the poisoning of the emperor's heirs would be enough to destroy the family, but the Zhao family was so powerful and deeply entangled in the court that he could not expose these crimes.

Now that Zhao is dead, everything is her fault as a dead person and has nothing to do with living people. He can take the opportunity to belittle the Zhao family and reduce the power of the Zhao family.

Thinking of this, Feng Mingye had to think of Zhao Yan again.

He even felt that Zhao Yan had already thought of this for him, so he took the initiative to send the imperial edict to stimulate the Zhao family.

Because she understands that only when Zhao dies, there will be an explanation for everyone.

Unless she dies, some truths will have to be buried and never see the light of day.

Soon, it was found out that the Empress Zhao poisoned Ru Guifei and killed the emperor's heir. Before the Zhao family could ask why she committed suicide, a heinous crime was slapped on the Zhao family.

The deposed Zhao family has been in charge of the harem for many years. Not only did she poison the dragon fetus in the belly of the imperial concubine this time, but also countless times in the past. Because there was only one crown prince, she did not allow anyone to block the way of her son.

In front of the civil and military officials of the court, Zhao Liquan, naked from the waist up, knelt in the main hall and held a thorn to plead guilty because he failed to educate his daughter well and caused the emperor to lose many of his sons.

Feng Mingye looked sad, and before he had time to punish Zhao Liquan, he suffered from chest pain and left the court.

Zhao Liquan did not dare to retreat from the court, so he knelt outside the door of the imperial study room with his shaky body.

After Feng Mingye was treated by the imperial doctor, he met him. The two had a secret conversation in the imperial study, and even Eunuch Fu was not there.

After a long time, when Zhao Liquan came out, his old face looked more and more weathered.

Not long after he returned home, news spread throughout the government and the public that Zhao Liquan had disbanded his troops and returned to his fields.
