The queen grabbed the air and fell to the ground, looking weak and helpless.
Although she is nearly forty years old this year, because of the proper maintenance, her temperament is not inferior to that of a concubine in her twenties, but she has a bit more mature beauty on her body, which is why the emperor has never neglected her.
But today, the emperor did not feel pity for her, but looked at her condescendingly, without even helping her.
The night was too heavy, and the emperor turned his back to the lanterns under the corridor, so the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.
The queen looked at him in horror, forgot to even cry, and just fell down in the snow and didn't dare to say a word.
After a long time, the emperor opened his mouth and said, "Help the queen up."
When the palace people heard the words, they hurriedly helped her up, and the queen began to sob softly when she saw that he was soft-hearted.
"Go back and rest," the emperor said before leaving.
Seeing this, the Queen cried out, "Your Majesty..."
Hearing the words, the emperor took a step, frowned and looked at the empress who was crying so much. His thoughts were suddenly pulled back to the late autumn a few years ago...
That day, after he finished approving the memorial, he first went to sit in the two newly promoted beauty palaces. Before his butt was hot, he was invited to the middle palace by the queen's people, saying that the queen made the tea herself and asked him to taste it. .
At that time, the empress was quite consecrated because of the merits of her mother's family, so the emperor would not refuse.
Later, the emperor only remembered that he stayed in the Queen's Palace until nightfall, until the news that Concubine Qi had passed away...
The people in Concubine Qi's palace cried and kowtowed to the emperor, saying that Concubine Qi had always wanted to see the emperor before her death, but was stopped by the people in the empress' palace. The queen heard that without waiting for the emperor to attack, he severely punished the palace servants, and she knelt down in public to plead guilty to the emperor.
The emperor was saddened by Concubine Qi's death at the time, so how could he be held accountable for this?
As for the aftermath, the emperor couldn't care less, because he had to face Concubine Qi's funeral and the questioning and disappointment of the young Yu Jingdu...
After so many years, the emperor did not even give himself a chance to recall the situation at that time because he was unwilling to face this matter.
Until today, the people from Fu'an Palace were also blocked outside the Queen's Palace, and he finally realized that this may not be an accident.
When he didn't know, he didn't know how many people were blocked from his sight by the queen intentionally or not. After all, the position of the middle palace and the identity of the prince's biological mother made no one in this palace dare to openly care about her, so no one would be stupid enough to complain to the emperor for such a trivial matter.
In other words, even if the emperor really knew, so what?
She is the queen, and she played a little selfishness for the sake of the holy favor. The emperor would only think that she loved him miserably. How could he really care about him?
If it weren't for Concubine Qi's time and today, the emperor might really never have to compare.
Yu Jingdu, who suddenly fell ill today, aroused his guilt...
"Queen." The emperor said coldly, "Go back and think about it, you don't have to go out before King Yan wakes up."
"Your Majesty..." The queen was shocked when she heard the words, but the emperor did not intend to give her a chance to cry, so he strode out of Fu'an Palace.
The queen looked at his back, so shocked that she forgot to cry.
This is the first time she has suffered such grievances in so many years...
Just because of that long overdue feast king!
"Laifu." The emperor walked on the snow for a long time and stopped at the door of Concubine Qi's former residence.
Since Concubine Qi passed away, no one has lived in this palace, and it has been deserted.
"I remember that Concubine Qi died of depression. You said that if I came to see her early that night, and she was happy when she saw me, wouldn't she have died so soon?" the emperor murmured.
Laifu, who was beside him, said in his heart that Concubine Qi was suffering from depression. The key was not depression, but accumulation.
There is a saying that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, how can this be relieved with a glance?
But he didn't dare to say that, but comforted: "Your Majesty, don't hurt your heart, otherwise His Royal Highness King Yan will be worried about His Majesty when he wakes up." The emperor smiled bitterly and continued to walk forward.
"Your Majesty is going to the Empress's Palace?" Laifu asked.
"Laifu, do you think I have been too indulgent to the queen these years?" The emperor said: "I don't know that the people in his palace have acted daringly for several years, and even dared to stop the words that were passed on to me. You said this palace How many things are there that I don't know about?"
"Your Majesty has a lot of time, and it is common for you to neglect these trivial matters." Laifu said, "All the ladies in the palace are sympathetic to His Majesty's hard work, and naturally, they will not say anything to His Majesty on weekdays, so as not to worry about His Majesty."
In fact, the emperor didn't want to understand the trivial matters in the palace, not because he didn't know it, but because he was too lazy to pay attention to it.
He was accustomed to being aloof, and every day he decided on important matters related to his family and country, so naturally he would not be distracted by the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of ordinary people.
For so many years, he has not even spoiled any concubines except the queen.
Because he doesn't want to give anyone the chance to be arrogant, he is used to rewarding a little rain and dew occasionally, and then watching people look flattered.
A person like him is called restraint if it sounds nice, and ruthless if it sounds bad.
"Yeah, it's not just them. With so many sons and daughters, the only one who dares to say a word to me is the third one." The emperor sighed, his tone was very lonely.
"Old slave remembers, the third highness was very favored by His Majesty when he was young." Laifu said: "I don't know why..."
Halfway through his words, he seemed to feel inappropriate and stopped in time.
But the emperor followed his words and said, when did he start to alienate the third child?
"I remember." The emperor said, "It seems to be the birthday of Jingdu when he was seven years old. On that day, I had a banquet and invited many honorable people to celebrate Jingdu. Jingdu received many compliments during the banquet. , on the contrary, the prince on the side was compared everywhere."
"The old slave also remembers this matter. Later, it seems that the third highness has never had such a lively birthday again." Laifu said.
