He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

King Cheng fled for fear of punishment. If there was anyone in Kyoto who knew why King Cheng stole his mother's body, that person must be the Queen Mother.

Xie Jingyan looked at the emperor, "Perhaps the Queen Mother knows."

The emperor's eyes were fixed on the face of Concubine Chen, and there was an unrelieved sorrow in his eyes. After hearing what Xie Jingyan said, he said, "Even if the queen mother favors Prince Cheng, she will not allow Prince Cheng to do such a thing."

The Queen Mother protected the King and the Queen, and the Emperor was also angry with the Queen Mother and has not forgiven her to this day.

But the Emperor was certain that the Queen Mother was unaware of Prince Cheng's theft of Concubine Chen's body. If the Queen Mother knew, she would definitely put pressure on Prince Cheng to bury Concubine Chen.

Of this, the Emperor is certain.

Seeing that the emperor did not believe that the queen mother knew, Xie Jingyan said coldly, "Father, do you really believe that the queen mother did not know?"

A sarcastic tone.

The emperor looked at him.

Xie Jingyan poured cold water on the emperor and said, "On the day when father issued the decree to execute the entire Yan family, the empress dowager went to the cold palace to see mother, and later summoned the Minister of Justice to ask him to help save a trace of the Yan family's bloodline. Did father know about this?"

The emperor's heart was shocked, and his voice suddenly rose, "The Queen Mother asked the Minister of Justice to protect the bloodline of the Yan family. How is this possible?!"

……

Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother sat on the phoenix chair. Her eyelids had been twitching and she felt uneasy since she woke up in the morning.

Before she had even taken a few bites of her breakfast, Nanny Zhao brought over some bird's nest soup and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't had a single bite of your breakfast yet. I personally made some bird's nest soup for you to try."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "I have no appetite. Take it away."

Aunt Zhao refused to give up and advised earnestly, "The Queen Mother, please think of it as you are caring for me. Eat a little, even just one bite..."

Knowing that Madam Zhao was doing this for her own good, the Queen Mother could not bear to refuse Madam Zhao's wishes and prepared to take a bite. However, just as she was serving the bird's nest soup, a young eunuch came in and said, "Queen Mother, the Emperor has left the palace."

The Queen Mother's hand was about to touch the bird's nest soup, but she immediately took it back, "The Emperor has left the palace? How come I didn't know about such a big thing?"

The young eunuch said, "That's what's spread in the palace. It's said that the emperor left the palace in plain clothes, and he only brought Eunuch Yuan and a few guards with him. I don't know what he went out of the palace for..."

The Queen Mother thought that her uneasy mood must be related to the Emperor leaving the palace.

How can a king of a country leave the palace so easily? !

Is there anything that he, the emperor, must do personally? !

It would be fine if he left the palace, but he didn't bring more people with him. If he was targeted by bad guys outside the palace, where would he put the country that his ancestors fought for with their lives and blood? !

The Queen Mother was worried and angry, so angry that her head ached.

Nanny Zhao guessed, "Could the emperor have gone to Prince Ling's mansion to visit the emperor's eldest grandson?"

The Queen Mother said, "There's no need to be sneaky when visiting the Emperor's eldest grandson."

Nanny Zhao felt that the emperor did not leave the palace secretly, he just did not sit in the imperial sedan chair and did not wear the dragon robe.

However, she also felt that he would not go to Prince Ling's Mansion. The emperor's eldest grandson was only a few days old and would not run away. Even if he was anxious to hold the emperor's eldest grandson, he would not be anxious to go to Prince Ling's Mansion to see him. But apart from the emperor's eldest grandson, Nanny Zhao really couldn't guess who in the palace could get the emperor out.

The emperor could only leave the palace a few times a year. Every time he did, he was surrounded by officials and accompanied by hundreds of people.

The empress dowager sat on the phoenix chair, worried. She wanted to send someone out of the palace to look for her, but she was also a little worried because the emperor's attitude towards her was no longer the same as before because of the matter between Prince Cheng and Queen Song. The empress dowager was afraid that if she meddled too much, it would make the emperor unhappy.

Just as she was hesitating, the palace maid came in quickly and said, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor is here."

The Queen Mother was stunned.

Since the day Queen Song was banished to the cold palace, the Emperor never came to Shoukang Palace to visit her no matter how serious her illness was.

The Queen Mother knew that the Emperor was very angry this time, but he came back so quickly after leaving the palace and came directly to her. The Queen Mother felt a little uneasy.

Soon the empress dowager met the emperor. The emperor came back from Prince Cheng's Mansion and came to the empress dowager directly in plain clothes without changing his clothes.

When she saw the emperor, the queen mother said, "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country and is responsible for the lives of all people in the world. How can you be so willful and leave the palace at will..."

Before the Queen Mother could finish her words, the Emperor interrupted her directly, "Queen Mother, aren't you curious about where I went when I left the palace? What did I do?"

While the emperor was speaking, Eunuch Yuan was chasing people away.

He waved his hand and sent all the palace maids and nannies out of the hall.

This was not the first time that Eunuch Yuan had driven someone away in front of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was not even angry, she just felt uneasy.

After all the palace people had left, the Queen Mother asked, "Where did the Emperor go after leaving the palace?"

"I'm going to Chengwang Mansion!"

The Queen Mother was stunned and frowned, "What is the emperor doing in Chengwang Mansion?"

The emperor looked at the queen mother intently, "Does the queen mother really not know what I am doing in Prince Cheng's mansion?"

The Queen Mother felt more and more uneasy when she was looked at by the Emperor. She said, "There are only concubines and a few concubines left in Prince Cheng's mansion. Is there anything worthy of the Emperor going there?"

The emperor's face was gloomy, "Prince Cheng stole the body of Concubine Chen and hid it in the ice cellar in the secret room of the study!"

Swish.

The Queen Mother stood up suddenly in shock.

It woke up so fast that it took me a while to see black before I could see anything.

The Queen Mother was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her voice was trembling, "That evil creature! How could he do such a thing?!"

Aunt Zhao also had an expression of shock and disbelief on her face.

They all knew that Concubine Chen's body had been stolen. It was Nanny Zhao who personally led people to bury Concubine Chen, and it was Nanny Zhao who led Xie Jingyan to pay homage to Concubine Chen. She saw with her own eyes that the coffin was empty, and there was no trace of Concubine Chen being buried inside.

They all thought that the Queen Mother had asked the Yan family, who were under the protection of the Minister of Justice, to bury the Concubine Chen separately to make it easier to worship her. How could it be Prince Cheng? !

The Queen Mother did not doubt the truth of this matter at all, and she started to scold King Cheng. The Emperor's heart, which was full of anger, instantly turned cold, "The Queen Mother really hid a lot of things from me..."

The Queen Mother was so angry that her heart ached. She covered her chest. After hearing what the Emperor said, the Queen Mother asked, "What did I hide from the Emperor?"

The emperor said nothing and took out the imperial edict from his arms.

Upon seeing the imperial edict, the empress dowager’s expression finally couldn’t hold back any longer.

What a great Minister of Justice!

He actually tricked her into giving the imperial decree and it was burned by fire!

The Emperor said, "If this decree was not written by the Queen Mother herself, I would never believe that the Queen Mother would want to protect the Yan family's bloodline. What did the Concubine Chen use to threaten the Yan family that the Queen Mother helped?"

The emperor spoke in a stern voice and threw the imperial edict heavily to the ground.

Looking at the imperial edict thrown on the ground, the empress dowager's face turned pale.

Nanny Zhao hurried down the stairs and picked up the imperial edict, her hands trembling as she held it.

I thought the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were just estranged from each other, but this is not estrangement at all, they are almost becoming enemies.

Prince Cheng caused so many troubles, harming Princess Cheng and Prince Cheng's son. He just patted his butt and ran away, leaving the Queen Mother to face the Emperor's wrath. The Queen Mother just didn't want to see the Emperor and Prince Cheng killing each other. What did the Queen Mother do wrong?

Nanny Zhao felt very nervous.

The emperor just looked at the empress dowager with cold eyes.

The Queen Mother knew that she could not escape if she did not speak out today. There was nothing left to hide at this point. She had kept this matter in her heart for more than 20 years, which was long enough.

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor and said, "Since Your Majesty wants to know so much, I will tell you."
