There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 187 He Betrayed Her
The ministers stood up one after another and asked Emperor Jingyuan to investigate the case thoroughly.

The queen panicked, and Emperor Jing Yuan was dumbfounded.

After thousands of calculations, they didn't expect that this problem would be caused by their most beloved son. Even if they wanted to cover up, it was already too late.

The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty almost wanted to roast him on the fire, and it would be unjustifiable if he didn't respond.

After much deliberation, Emperor Jing Yuan decided to preserve his reputation.

"Come here! Take King Chen to the prison of Dali Temple to await trial. No one is allowed to visit without my order!"

"emperor!"

The queen stood up suddenly, knelt down in front of Emperor Jingyuan with a plop and burst into tears.

"This matter is too strange. Why did you make an order before this barbarian finished speaking?"

"Your Majesty, Yan'er usually messes around a bit, but how could he be confused about such a military matter? Don't listen to slander and wrong your own son!"

Emperor Jing Yuan was a little hesitant, what the queen said was also reasonable, so the man hasn't finished talking yet?

But he has said all his words, and if he wants to regret it, he may not be able to do so. You have no jokes, it is impossible for him to repent in front of the ministers.

After thinking about it, he was furious.

"No matter what the truth is, I will give an explanation to the subjects of the world!"

"Queen, don't worry, if Prince Chen is really innocent, I can't wrong him, if not...humph!"

Emperor Jingyuan flung his arms and left the hall.

The queen knelt on the ground slumped, watching her son being dragged away, her whole body collapsed.

Xia Houjue drank the last glass of grape wine slowly, took Tang Wanning's hand and stood up.

"It's getting late, we should go back!"

"Respectfully send off His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The civil and military ministers said in unison.

Amid the compliments, the two left the hall side by side and hand in hand.

After the rest of the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, they also left in twos and threes. A palace banquet started successfully and ended in pieces.

……

The queen didn't know how she got back to Fengyang Palace.

She didn't cry, make trouble, or speak along the way, as if she had lost her soul.

When Feng Huo stepped into the gate of Fengyang Palace, the queen finally spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma.

"The Empress!"

"The Empress!"

The two court ladies were in a great confusion, and hurriedly announced the imperial physician.

When Fengyang Palace was in a mess, the emperor's Jinhua Palace was not much better. The emperor sat in front of the desk in the imperial study, looking at the piles of papers.

He couldn't figure out how his son, who had always loved him so much, would do such a thing.

No matter how ignorant he was, no matter how useless he was to fool the king, no matter how lustful and extravagant he was, he never thought of betraying his own country.

But Yan'er, he actually colluded with the enemy to burn the food and grass of the Great Xia Dynasty and betray the generals of the Great Xia Dynasty.

If this is recorded in the history books, it will be a sinner who has been passed down through the ages!

Heartache, disappointment, shame, annoyance, all the emotions were intertwined and ran wildly in every blood vessel of Emperor Jingyuan. In the end, he couldn't breathe well and coughed violently.

He coughed for a full quarter of an hour, almost coughing up all his intestines before giving up.

"emperor!"

Li Baoyuan tried to persuade the emperor to please him.

"Your Majesty, maybe His Royal Highness Chen Wang was wronged..."

"Injustice?" Emperor Jingyuan laughed himself.

"Tulu will wrong him? If he was wronged once, how many times? Will he be wronged? They didn't even know each other before, so why didn't they wrong others?"

Li Baoyuan was speechless and could only persuade the emperor to take care of his health.

"Maybe there is some misunderstanding, Dali Temple will definitely investigate and find out!"

"Check!" Emperor Jingyuan suddenly opened his eyes wide, his complexion swollen purple.

"Let them investigate carefully! If anyone dares to cover up a criminal to fool me, I will confiscate his whole family!" The old emperor breathed sharply, his throat seemed to be clogged with thick phlegm that was not clean.

Li Baoyuan was sweating profusely, he was afraid that if the emperor was not careful, he would be confused by phlegm and pass out.

"Don't worry, your majesty, the servant will pass on the word for you later, don't worry, sit down and have a sip of tea first!"

Emperor Jingyuan took a look at him, and then took his seat smoothly.

"Medicine! Where's my medicine?" She clutched her chest with an anxious expression on her face.

"Yes, yes, my servant will take it for you!" Li Baoyuan turned around and took out a rosewood box from the cabinet, and handed it to the emperor.

"Are there only the last two left?" Emperor Jing Yuan picked up one and put it in his mouth, looking at the last remaining one, worried.

"That's right! The Empress only gives thirty pills at a time, for a month. Your majesty, you have eaten two pills today, but you must not eat any more!"

Li Baoyuan closed the lid carefully and persuaded him.

"Really? I ate two?" Emperor Jingyuan rubbed his temples, but he couldn't remember.

"Go ask the queen to send a few more boxes, this medicine is good, it can cure my illness!"

"Your Majesty!" Li Baoyuan was very embarrassed.

"The old slave went to ask the empress, but the empress didn't want to give it. She said that although this kind of medicinal material is not expensive, the method of making it is extremely difficult. There are only about [-] pills in total at one time, and I want more. It's gone!"

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Jing Yuan was furious.

"The whole world belongs to me, let alone a few pills, you go ask the queen to bring me two more boxes!"

"Yes!" Li Baoyuan resigned and left.

Emperor Jingyuan leaned back on the soft chair with his eyes closed and rested in peace of mind.

Jue'er, Yan'er, Jingmin, Queen... two sons, two women, unfortunately he only has one heart.

After taking the medicine, Emperor Jing Yuan breathed much more smoothly, he stopped coughing, and his face returned to normal. He closed his eyes and fell asleep in an instant.

In the dream, he seemed to have returned to his boyhood.

At that time, he was still a young prince, and she was still the daughter of the Hou family. Every time there was a banquet in the palace, the two of them would go to the imperial garden together to play.

They went boating together, admired the lotus together, wrote poems together, and caught fish together.

She said: Good brother, will you marry me in the future?
He said: Sister Jingmin, I will only marry you in my life.

She believed it, she got married, but he broke his vow, failed her, and even pushed her into the abyss of the harem in a disguised form, leaving her to die with grievances and leaving her alone in the underworld.

"Sister Jing Min! Sister Jing Min, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Emperor Jing Yuan murmured in his dream.

Two strings of muddy teardrops flowed down the furrows at the corners of his eyes and dripped onto the pillow.

When I woke up, the pillow was wet.

Emperor Jingyuan seemed to be suffering from a serious illness, the gray hair on his temples became more and more obvious, his body became weaker and his spirit became more short-sighted, and he even felt that he could not wake up and fall asleep all the time.

Even if she sleeps peacefully for a while, she will always dream of Jing Min.

"Min'er, do you blame me?" He looked at the sky outside the window.

In the cold winter season, the outside is gloomy and heavy snow seems to be falling, the wind is howling, and the north wind hits the glazed tiles, making a piercing sound.

Emperor Jingyuan closed his eyes again, and he murmured.

"Or...do you miss me? Want to pick me up and go with me?"
