The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world
Chapter 50 Beheaded Flower
"This flower is also known as the beheaded flower. When it withers, it does not fall off piece by piece, but the whole flower falls directly from the branch, just like being beheaded. Therefore, this flower is considered unlucky, and it is especially taboo for tea parties. It has always been unlucky. I will choose to use it to arrange flowers.”
"Presumptuous!" When Emperor Yao heard the word "decapitation", his face was full of rage. Just after drinking Concubine Yue's tea, the camellia fell, which had touched his sensitive nerves.
"Your Majesty, calm down!" The queen and concubines were so frightened that they fell to their knees.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense. I have never heard of the decapitation flower before!" Concubine Yue's face changed drastically and she hurriedly explained.
"Shut up!" Emperor Yao, who was suspicious by nature, suddenly became angry.
He glared at Yue Fei angrily and reprimanded loudly.
"Concubine Yue, what are your intentions today? Do you hope that I will die early? Ah? You didn't get poisoned by your tea, but you still want to chop off my head. You poisonous woman, relying on Qian Yeguo behind you, will never kill me. I and the entire harem take it seriously!"
"Your Majesty, I have never wanted to frame you. I don't know this. The Qingming tea is not poisonous. Your Majesty, you have to believe me!" Yue Fei panicked and immediately stood up and knelt before Yao Emperor. Come and beg for mercy.
"Oh, Qingming tea. The tea I just drank was originally called Qingming tea. Concubine Yue, you really wish that I died soon so that your son could sit on that dragon chair!" Emperor Yao's face was gloomy and he was fierce. Like dark clouds rolling over the city, it feels like a storm is about to hit.
"Your Majesty is wronged. I never had such intention. I just want to learn tea art out of gratitude to please Your Majesty. I don't know this at all!"
Concubine Yue kept defending in panic, her face ashen as death.
She was forced to marry to Nan Yao Kingdom to make peace, and she never wanted to please Emperor Yao, who she didn't like.
But for the sake of the second prince's future, she worked hard to ease her relationship with Emperor Yao.
Unexpectedly, I am now in such a situation.She grabbed Yao Emperor's sleeve angrily and looked up at him aggrievedly.
"Queen, tell me!" Emperor Yao calmed down a little when he saw the innocent expression on her face, then turned to ask the queen who was kneeling behind him.
The queen lowered her head and did not dare to raise it. She pondered for a moment and said.
"Your Majesty, what Ye Meiren said is true. In our Nanyao Kingdom, camellias have never been allowed to be used as flower arrangements on tea banquets." The queen whispered softly, with a slightly worried look on her face.
"I think that Sister Yue Fei may not be familiar with these rules. As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, so please forgive her!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive Concubine Yue!" Seeing that the queen had interceded for Concubine Yue, the other concubines also agreed.
Emperor Yao pondered for a moment before his expression softened slightly.He took a deep breath and scanned everyone with cold eyes, finally stopping on Yue Fei.
"Concubine Yue, I will forgive your sin of ignorance this time, but I must teach you a lesson to prevent you from being rude in the past. I hope you will be careful in your words and deeds from now on, and I will not forgive you if you do it again." Emperor Yao's voice became colder and colder.
"According to my decree, the words and deeds in front of the Yue Concubine Palace are inappropriate and disrespectful to me. The palace will be immediately closed for three months. After three months, unless Zhao is not allowed to see you, you will stay in your Chanjing Palace to reflect on me!" After speaking, he looked at Eunuch Wu who was standing by and ordered.
For the first time in these years, Emperor Yao was so angry at Concubine Yue. Even though she was domineering and bullied a talented person in the harem, causing that talented person to have a miscarriage, Emperor Yao did not punish her severely.At most, he would just scold her a few words and forget about it.
However, this time, even though Emperor Yao Long Yan was furious, he still left some leeway and did not punish Yue Fei excessively. This was just because Emperor Yao still cared about the Qian Ye Kingdom behind her.
After hearing Emperor Yao's words, Concubine Yue knelt respectfully on the ground to thank her.
"I thank you for your majesty's grace. I will definitely follow your majesty's teachings and reflect on your mistakes!"
Then, she raised her head and glanced at Ye Meiren, a sharp look flashed in her eyes, full of anger and unwillingness.
She calmed down and stood up slowly. Her knees were a little weak, but she still managed to hold her body upright.
Seeing this, Aunt Gui beside her quickly stepped forward to support her and slowly walked out of the imperial garden.
At this time, Concubine Yue felt a strong sense of humiliation in her heart.
After Concubine Yue withdrew, Emperor Yao was no longer in the mood to enjoy tea at other tea banquets. He raised his voice tiredly: "Wu Ji'an, drive back to Changyang Palace!"
"Slave, I obey." Wu Ji'an responded respectfully.
Emperor Yao frowned, the expression on his face looking a little gloomy.He put his hands behind his back, with a bit of anger in his eyes.
Just before he took two steps, the palace maid kneeling in front of a flower bed in the imperial garden suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, what is this?" Emperor Yao stopped and turned his head to stare at the palace maid's surprised expression.
The queen quickly stood up and walked forward to check with a solemn expression, and Emperor Yao and his concubines also quickly gathered around.
Everyone gathered in front of the flower stand and saw a group of ants squirming in the open space into the word "death", which made people shudder.
They looked panicked and felt very uneasy in their hearts.
Afraid of irritating Emperor Yao, everyone carefully and hurriedly stepped aside. Even the queen lowered her head slightly and did not dare to look at Emperor Yao.
The atmosphere in the Royal Garden was extremely depressing.
Emperor Yao's eyes suddenly darkened, and he took two steps back unsteadily. Finally, he couldn't help but roared in anger: "How outrageous?!" His voice resounded throughout the Imperial Garden, causing the surrounding birds to scatter in all directions.
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Everyone was so frightened that they fell to their knees with fear and horror on their faces.
The queen looked nervous and her eyes suddenly shrank.The concubines lowered their heads one after another, not daring to move, for fear that they would become the target of Emperor Yao's anger.
Only Ye Meiren was kneeling in the corner, with the corners of her lips raised slightly and her eyes as sharp as a knife.
He had a splitting headache and held his forehead with his hand, a fire of anger ignited in his eyes, and finally shouted angrily, "Come here! Take all this away! No more tea parties are allowed in the future!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded respectfully.
Emperor Yao's eyes were cold, suppressing the anger in his heart, and his face was filled with coldness.There was a slight sweat on his forehead and his body was shaking a little. It was obvious that the angry shouting just now gave him an even worse headache.
"Your Majesty, your health is in critical condition. Please return to Changyang Palace to rest as soon as possible." Eunuch Wu spoke softly, trying to ease Emperor Yao's mood.Seeing that Emperor Yao looked wrong, he immediately stepped forward to help him.
While gently patting Emperor Yao's back, he was careful to prevent him from falling.
Emperor Yao left the Imperial Garden with the support of Eunuch Wu.
At this time, Wei Zhaoyi, who was kneeling on the ground, quietly made a slight gesture. The palace maid behind him quickly understood and quietly retreated.
In the dead of night, Wei Yu walked into Xiyuan and handed the note that Wei Zhaoyi had passed from the palace to Ning Ziqing.
Ning Ziqing opened it and saw only four words written on it: "Everything went well."
She pursed her lips and smiled, lit the note on fire, and threw it on the ground.
Tell His Highness, inform Tan Tang to be ready, and wait for His Majesty to declare him a saint! "Wei Yu nodded, quickly climbed up to the roof and disappeared into the night.
Ning Ziqing brushed the long hair around her ears with her hands, looked at the withered potted crabapple in front of the window with cold eyes, and curled her lips into a smile.
The night is long, the stars and the moon are dim, and the day is finally going to change.
In the study room of the second prince's residence, Lu Heng stood in front of the case with his head bowed, silent.
Huo Yunhong, who was sitting on the chair, had dark eyes and a pale face.
After a long silence, Huo Yunhong broke the silence first, "You still don't want me to go into the palace to intercede for my mother and concubine?" He raised his eyes coldly and glanced at Lu Heng.
"Absolutely not! If His Highness goes to the palace to plead for mercy now, it will only add fuel to the fire. Not only will His Majesty not forgive Yue Fei, but he will also become suspicious of you, Your Highness!" Lu Heng urged.
"That is His Highness's mother-in-law. As a son, can't I intercede for her? If the mother-in-law heard that I treated her like this, wouldn't it make her even more chilled?" Huo Yunhong slapped her hard with resentment. On the desk.
"Your Highness, instead of asking for mercy from His Majesty, it is better to think carefully about how to help Concubine Yue clear this crime!" Lu Heng suggested to him.
"Do you suspect that someone deliberately framed the mother-in-law?"
"I do have doubts. Logically speaking, all the roses have stopped blooming this season, so why are they still there in the greenhouse? This is one of them."
"In addition, the old woman who taught Concubine Yue the art of tea is also very suspicious. She is an old man in the palace. It is impossible that she does not know the taboo that camellias are decapitated flowers." Lu Heng replied after thinking for a moment.
"It's Qingming tea and guillotine. How could it be such a coincidence that Concubine Yue was placed on the tea banquet at the same time? Your Highness should send someone to check carefully!" Lu Heng reminded.
"It's so unreasonable that you dare to harm your mother and concubine! If I find out, I will cut this person into thousands of pieces to satisfy the hatred in my heart!" The second prince looked fierce, his eyes showed a fierce light, and his whole body exuded Murderous, chilling.
"One more thing, there is a rumor circulating in Kyoto recently. Will His Highness take this opportunity to attack the prince?" Lu Heng's eyes flashed with light, thinking that this was a rare opportunity.
"My Highness has heard a little bit, it's just a rumor. How can you use this to deal with the Crown Prince? I know you have hated the Crown Prince for a long time and are eager to get him to step down, but now that something has happened to the mother-in-law in the palace, Your Highness has too much to take care of himself. . How can you still think about dealing with him!" The second prince rubbed his forehead irritably, his brows furrowed.
"Did His Highness never suspect that the prince was the one who framed Concubine Yue?" Lu Heng asked in a solemn tone.
"Presumptuous!" When Emperor Yao heard the word "decapitation", his face was full of rage. Just after drinking Concubine Yue's tea, the camellia fell, which had touched his sensitive nerves.
"Your Majesty, calm down!" The queen and concubines were so frightened that they fell to their knees.
