At this moment, Ye Zifen could not utter the words "A gentleman will die for his friend".

Because she knows very well that the profound meaning and responsibility contained in this are not something that can be easily borne.

The image of the kind old man speaking earnestly and giving her sincere teachings kept appearing in Ye Zifen's mind.

Every word, full of wisdom and care, represents the deepest and most sincere love for the children!

How could the clever Ye Zifen not understand this good intention? So she said nothing more, but just nodded slightly, indicating that she had already remembered the old man's teachings in her heart.

At the same time, there was a slight noise outside the door.

It turned out that the Crown Princess left slowly, carefully supported by a group of maids.

Watching their figures gradually walking away, one can imagine how desperate and sad the Crown Princess must be feeling at this moment.

Perhaps, after this incident, she had completely lost her confidence and hope in the emperor who was so high and mighty...

Ye Zifen was listening attentively to the words of the retired emperor. The gentle and low voice flowed through her heart like a clear spring.

However, just as she was concentrating, the emperor's voice suddenly stopped, as if an invisible hand had suddenly grabbed his throat.

Ye Zifen couldn't help but feel puzzled and her eyes quickly turned to the emperor.

The originally kind face of the retired emperor suddenly became gloomy, his lips were tightly closed, and his brows were slightly wrinkled, as if there was something unspeakable in his heart.

Just as Ye Zifen was secretly speculating, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Then, a panicked servant rushed in, fell to his knees with a plop, and reported in a trembling voice: "Retired Emperor, Princess, the Emperor has arrived!"

Upon hearing the news, Ye Zifen was shocked and suddenly realized what was going on.

She finally understood why the retired emperor suddenly kept silent. It turned out that it was because he learned that the emperor was about to arrive.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for the powerful old man in front of her.

You know, the emperor has been in power for many years, experienced many ups and downs, and controlled the government for decades.

In all these long years, no one has ever dared to shift the blame and responsibility onto him.

But now, his most beloved and promising biological son, the current emperor, actually did this to him in front of everyone, catching him off guard.

I'm afraid only the emperor himself can deeply understand the bitterness of being betrayed by his closest relatives.

The Emperor looked at Ye Zifen seriously and said slowly, "My child, please leave from the other side first. I have something private to discuss with the Emperor alone."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then she obediently followed a father-in-law who came to lead the way for her and walked in another direction.

Although she was full of curiosity, she knew very well that there were many rules in the palace and she would never ask a question that was not necessary.

In this way, Ye Zifen silently followed the eunuch farther and farther away until he disappeared at the end of the long corridor.

In the palace on the other side, the emperor and the retired emperor were sitting opposite each other, and a solemn atmosphere permeated between them.

What exactly did they talk about? Ye Zifen had no idea.

However, on the morning of the next day, a shocking piece of news spread like a whirlwind throughout the entire palace - the emperor actually appointed the former Crown Princess as Consort Rong!

When the news came out, everyone was shocked.

At the same time, unexpectedly, the position of queen fell to a concubine of the former prince.

Speaking of this concubine, it is really a cause for regret.

She had been married into the palace for many years, but had never given birth to a child.

Her mother's family was not a powerful family and had no influence in the court.

It can be said that apart from the nominal title of queen, she had almost nothing.

But even so, those ministers who had been hoping that the emperor would enthrone a queen as soon as possible all shut their mouths at this moment.

After all, now that the queen has been established, the excuse that "a country cannot be without a mother" can no longer be a reason for them to make remonstrances.

As for why the emperor made such a decision and bestowed the throne on this seemingly ordinary concubine, perhaps only he himself knew best.

As for the former Crown Princess, being named Rong Fei could be considered a special explanation given to her by the Emperor.

I just wonder what her children will feel after hearing this?

After hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion and sigh in her heart.

You know, it is really unexpected that the extremely noble queen was also a victim of this power struggle!

Just think about it, the queen was not only used by the emperor who was high above her and became a pawn in his hands, but also had to endure accusations and abuses from all sides. It was all so unfair.

Could it be that the queen really owed the emperor something in her previous life?

Otherwise, why would I suffer such a tragic fate in this life?

When Ye Zifen thought of this, she felt heavy in her heart, as if a huge rock was pressing on her.

When Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi returned together, they were talking about the Queen's matter all the way.

Zhang Gaoyi was silent for a long time, and finally just sighed softly and uttered a sentence slowly: "The imperial family is the most ruthless!"

These words were like a flash of lightning across the night sky, instantly making Ye Zifen realize what was going on.

Yes, in the royal family, family affection and love often become fragile, and interests and power are the eternal themes.

Ye Zifen deeply agreed with what Zhang Gaoyi said. She knew very well that in that palace full of intrigue, sincerity might have long disappeared.

And the poor queen, perhaps it was because she gave her true heart to the wrong person that she ended up with such a miserable end...

No matter how much the outside world discussed and discussed, the emperor seemed to be completely out of it, and seemed indifferent to it all, as if all the noise had nothing to do with him.

Not only did he not express any opinions or views, he didn't even utter a word of inquiry or concern.

Although Ye Zifen was full of curiosity and wanted to know what important secrets the two high and mighty emperors discussed that day, she knew very well that this matter was of great importance and she could not easily find out.

If you rashly go and inquire, you will probably only bring yourself endless trouble.

I also failed the protection of the emperor that day.

So, even though curiosity was tickling her heart, Ye Zifen still resisted the urge and wisely chose not to touch on this sensitive topic.

Thank her for guarding the border.
