The beauty of the lady

Chapter 300 Change of Dynasty (4)
After retiring from the court, all the officials went out one after another, while Ye Zhen continued to stay in the palace, along with the academicians of the Imperial Academy, the Six Departments of the Two Prime Ministers, and several princes.

In the Palace of Qinzheng, Ye Yu looked at Wang An and his elder brothers, and smiled, "Do the brothers think that this king has gone too far?"

King Li sighed and said, "After all, he is our heir and also the grandson of the second brother."

"Ye Yi's body is damaged. It is impossible to have an emperor's heir in this life. The throne will fall into my hands sooner or later. I knew about this a long time ago, but I have been hiding it from the emperor brothers. .”

"Really there is this time?" The princes were stunned, but didn't the Chen family give birth to a daughter?
"So, Chi Xiangrui is really getting more and more confused as he gets older, this time he pushed the Chi family to the guillotine." Ye Xuan snorted coldly.

Li Wang's tiger eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it: "Ninth brother, what is going on? The harem is not accessible to ordinary people, let alone..."

"He has a grandson who is in the imperial army, and the imperial army guards the safety of the harem. If he really wants to, he may not be able to do it. This king has already verified that this matter was indeed done by the Chi family. I am afraid that Ye Yi will not be able to bear children. Chi Xiangrui He knew it well, so he couldn't stay anymore."

The royal family has the dignity of the royal family. If this kind of thing gets out, it will seriously damage the majesty of the royal family. How can he handle it lightly.

King An couldn't give up on this kind of thing. Although he likes painting and calligraphy, but how important the face of the royal family is, as a literati, he couldn't care more.

In Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager Chen was resting her eyes with her eyes closed. When she heard the commotion outside, she opened her eyes and said coldly, "What's going on? There's such a commotion outside."

After finishing speaking, the father-in-law of Shunde staggered in, knelt down in panic and shouted: "The empress dowager, the emperor was kicked out of the dragon chair by Prince Chun, and all the masters of the harem were imprisoned in Yongxiang. Bringing people to Shoukang Palace."

"What did you say?" The Empress Dowager Chen was in a bad mood.

What does it mean?His son was usurped by others?Or that Prince Chun?There was no news a few days ago, how could the world have changed in just an instant today, what do you mean they are all locked in Yongxiang, she is the Empress Dowager of the Great Yan Dynasty, who would dare to do anything to her.

"The first emperor left a posthumous photo. According to the imperial decree, it was said that it was located in Prince Chun. Today, the prince is in front of all the officials in the court, and asked the commander of Yin to escort the emperor into Yongxiang to guard him. Even Concubine Rongxian was imprisoned by the prince. After entering the prison, it was said that they would be executed at a later date, and all the members of the Zhao family had been sent back to Chengbei Hou Mansion, and all the women in the harem had been ordered by the prince to be imprisoned in Yongxiang, and now the palace is in chaos. "

As soon as Shunde finished speaking, Yin Yanqing rushed in with dozens of imperial guards outside.

"Presumptuous, do you want to rebel?"

Empress Dowager Chen was so angry that she almost fainted. She was the Empress Dowager, and these people dared to imprison her in Yongxiang.

Yin Yanqing just glanced at her indifferently, and said to the imperial guards behind him: "Take away Mrs. Chen and all his cronies around her."

"You are presumptuous, let me see who dares to do anything to Ai's family." Empress Dowager Chen shouted sharply.

But even though she was full of momentum, she was still easily pinned down by the two imperial guards, unable to move a single inch, Aunt Cui and Shunde behind her were not spared, even Princess An Ning was picked up by a guard and taken away .

Empress Dowager Chen struggled vigorously, but she was the only one who was hurt, and all kinds of harsh words came out of her mouth one after another.

"It's better for Empress Dowager Chen to keep her mouth shut. The reason why the emperor was able to ascend the throne is because of the love of the prince. Who would have thought that instead of seeking the well-being of the people in the world, he would cause the world to panic because of a woman. The prince has the last emperor's will to succeed It's justified, Queen Mother, you'd better save your energy."

At first, he might feel uneasy, but when he saw the will, he finally settled down. Even if it was because of his junior sister, he really couldn't let the whole family bear the great crime of seeking to usurp the throne. It's okay if he succeeded. However, if he failed, the Yin family would be slaughtered because of him alone, and he would die with regret at that time.

In the prison, Zhao Chengyin and his son sat cross-legged facing each other.

"Father, could this be the fate of our Zhao family?" Zhao Yuanming looked at the prison cell separated by the wooden fence, where his wife was holding her son and talking to his mother.

Zhao Chengyin remained calm, after all, he was locked in yesterday, since Meier can say that, his family will be fine.

Now he is the head of the Zhao family, but he feels powerless, he can't even protect his family, but this is something that can't be helped, whoever offended them is the emperor's favorite concubine, and whoever made Zhao Ruoxian the daughter of the Zhao family, If possible, he didn't want to embarrass Meier, as long as he could protect a little blood of the Zhao family, he would die without regret.

"Things are impermanent. I would rather die standing than kneeling and stealing life. I cannot let the Zhao family's ancestors be ashamed because of our descendants."

Zhao Yuanming thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Father, my son understands, it's just that Brother Heng is too young after all."

"Yes, no matter how young you are, you are still the blood of our Zhao family."

"Mother, will we be beheaded?" In the next cell, Zhao Yuanyuan leaned against Lu's side and said softly.

Lu's heart hurts a lot. Here are her children and her lovely grandson. They are so implicated by Zhao Ruoxian, are they really going to be beheaded?Even sitting down is really too cruel.

They never thought of being in Zhao Ruoxian's favor, as long as she doesn't implicate the Zhao family, they will be thankful, but now they didn't expect that they would really be unable to escape.

"My mother doesn't know either."

After Lu finished speaking, the atmosphere fell silent.

The life in the sky prison is not for human beings, but for just one night, she feels that the days are like years. There is a disgusting smell of blood here, and the sound of whipping and screams can be heard from time to time. This kind of atmosphere , is enough to drive people crazy, but this night, the aunts all haggarded a lot in an instant, and the mother, Sun, was critically ill again, and it was a dilemma whether she could survive until the day of beheading.

After an unknown amount of time, they heard footsteps approaching, then gradually stopped on their side, and then heard a shrill voice say: "Open the cell door."

"Yes, Eunuch Wei."

After the rattling sound of chains, the cell door opened, Eunuch Wei walked in, clasped his fists to Zhao Chengyin and said, "Our family congratulates Mr. Zhao. Today, our family obeyed the emperor's order to send Mr. Zhao's family home. It has surprised everyone in the Zhao family for a few days."

Zhao Chengyin was very puzzled, this matter has not been resolved, will the emperor really let their family go back?
"Eunuch Wei, why did the emperor withdraw his order?" This is simply impossible. The only explanation is that the prince tried his best to protect them in front of the emperor.
