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

Xiao Xizi spoke in a low voice, but the cleaning maid who was nearby still heard it.

The maid found it very strange.

Hanyuan Hall is the emperor's bedroom. It is so cold that the charcoal basin has to be burned from morning to night, but the emperor wants to dig an ice cellar in the bedroom. Doesn't he think the weather is cold enough?

Besides, there is an ice cellar in the palace. In order to prevent the princess from getting too hot in the summer, the emperor gave her a lot of ice to cool her down.

The maid thought that the emperor acted on his whim, while Xie Jingyan had a very long face.

Prince Cheng hid his mother in the ice cellar in his study. Xie Jingyan wanted to have Prince Cheng tortured to death. But his own father wanted to follow suit. Xie Jingyan was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead.

He had originally planned to enter the palace tomorrow, but he just left.

Inside the room, Shen Wan leaned on the big welcoming pillow. Yin Shuang came in and said, "Princess, the prince has gone to the palace."

Entering the palace at this time...

It seems that Eunuch Yuan really has something urgent to discuss with Xie Jingyan.

Not knowing what the urgent matter was, Shen Wan was worried. She didn't ask because she didn't think the maid would know. As a result, Yin Shuang came up and whispered, "The emperor wants to dig an ice cellar in Hanyuan Palace..."

Others don’t know why the emperor dug the ice cellar, but Yin Shuang knows.

Shen Wan was stunned.

sigh.

It has been seven years since the incident with Concubine Chen. The two words "Concubine Chen" are taboos in the palace. Even Xie Jingyan is not allowed to mention it, let alone others.

He couldn't even mention it. It was obvious that the emperor had never let go of Concubine Chen and was always brooding over the fact that she betrayed him.

The emperor disliked Queen Song. He did not allow Queen Song to have an affair with Prince Cheng, let alone Concubine Chen, who was held in his palm.

Now he knows that Concubine Chen was plotted against. Concubine Chen has never betrayed the emperor. She even took into account the brotherhood between the emperor and Prince Cheng, fearing that the emperor and the empress dowager would have a rift. She suffered all kinds of grievances but never said a word to the emperor. The emperor must be regretting it deep in his heart.

The emperor was reluctant to bury Concubine Chen and wanted to keep her in Hanyuan Palace to accompany him.

As an emperor, how could he do such a thing? Eunuch Yuan was unable to persuade the emperor, so he had no choice but to find Xie Jingyan.

King Cheng is truly a disaster.

The Concubine Chen was unlucky enough to be liked by him in several lifetimes.

And the Queen Mother, if she could control King Cheng, it would have been fine if she kept the secret, but she couldn't control King Cheng, and she even kept the secret from the Emperor. In the end, one of her sons fled for fear of punishment, and one of her sons hated her. Is this the result that the Queen Mother wanted?

Xie Jingyan rode into the palace on horseback and headed straight for Hanyuan Hall.

From a distance, I could see a few eunuchs carrying soil out of the Hanyuan Hall. The ground in front of the Hanyuan Hall, which was usually spotlessly clean, was now covered with mud.

No matter how careful the palace servants were, mud was bound to spill out and become impossible to clean if stepped on.

The emperor was in the Hanyuan Hall watching the palace servants digging mud. Eunuch Yuan was serving on the side. He was very anxious when he saw the lifted floor tiles. He heard familiar footsteps and turned around to see that it was Xie Jingyan coming in. He was happy and scared.

He was happy because he knew Xie Jingyan could stop the emperor, but he was afraid because the emperor would definitely guess that he was the one who leaked the information and was afraid that the emperor would beat him with a stick.

Xie Jingyan walked over, looked at the messy bedroom that had been dug up, and said coldly, "Fill the dirt back for me!"

The two young eunuchs who were carrying the soil and preparing to go out were stunned.

I don’t know what to do.

It was the emperor who asked them to dig the cellar.

But Prince Ling is a man who dares to confront even the Emperor.

They dared not disobey Prince Ling when he spoke.

I stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to carry the soil out or fill it back in.

Eunuch Yuan waved his hand and said, "You guys go out first."

The eunuchs quickly put down the work in their hands and retreated as if they were running for their lives.

After all the palace people left, Xie Jingyan glared at the emperor and said, "Issue an order to bury my mother in peace!"

The emperor refused. He looked at Xie Jingyan and said, "Your mother looks like she's asleep. Can you bear not to see her again?"

He couldn't bear it.

But what can I do if I can't bear it? !

"Dead is dead!"

Xie Jingyan's eyes were red, "If you have the ability to bring mother back to life, I will dig this ice cellar for you, can you do it?!"

These words were like a knife stabbing the emperor's heart.

Even Eunuch Yuan, who was stabbed, felt heartbroken.

If the emperor had the ability to bring Concubine Chen back to life, he would have done so long ago.

The Emperor has been distracted these past two days while reviewing memorials, and all he wanted to do was stay in the ice cellar, by the side of Concubine Chen.

For so many years, the Emperor never mentioned Chen Fei, nor did he allow anyone else to mention her. It was just that his love for her was so deep and his hatred for her was so intense that it became a scar that could not be uncovered.

Eunuch Yuan understood the emperor's desire to keep Concubine Chen by his side, but the dead cannot be resurrected and people cannot live in the past. Especially since the emperor is the ruler of a country, he cannot be willful.

The emperor did not speak, and Xie Jingyan said, "If you don't want your mother to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, I will choose another place to bury her."

The emperor didn't want to bury Concubine Chen in the imperial mausoleum. He wanted to keep Concubine Chen in Hanyuan Hall and be buried together with Concubine Chen after his death.

Eunuch Yuan sighed inwardly.

The emperor's eyes also turned red, "Can't you just bury your mother in Hanyuan Palace?"

Xie Jingyan said angrily, "Don't deceive yourself. If you have mother in your heart, why do you need to miss her every day facing her body? I didn't come to the palace to discuss mother's funeral with you. I just informed you."

Either he immediately ordered his mother to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, or she would never be buried in the imperial mausoleum. There was no third choice.

Xie Jingyan was firm in his attitude and there was no room for negotiation.

Eunuch Yuan advised the emperor, "Your Majesty, please listen to Prince Ling. The Concubine Chen should have been buried seven years ago. This will only make her restless in the afterlife..."

The look the Emperor gave Eunuch Yuan was like a knife.

Eunuch Yuan knew that the emperor was annoyed with him for being too talkative, but the fact that the ice cellar was being dug in Hanyuan Palace could not be concealed at all.

Once Prince Ling finds out, he will definitely stop it. Why bother messing up the Hanyuan Palace?

Eunuch Yuan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down..."

Xie Jingyan had never been a patient person with the emperor, so he just walked away.

He couldn't stop his father from digging the ice cellar, but he could take his mother away from Prince Cheng's Mansion!

He would even hollow out the Hanyuan Hall!

The emperor knew his son was a man who could do what he wanted even if he couldn't say it. He endured the pain and said, "Father will issue an order to bury your mother in the imperial mausoleum..."

The emperor finally gave in.

Eunuch Yuan hurried to bring writing brush and ink, and the emperor wrote the imperial edict himself.

Xie Jingyan did not leave. If it were not for the confirmation of what Prince Cheng and the Queen Mother had done, the Emperor would have been kept in the dark. At that time, Concubine Chen refused to tell the truth and gave the jade pendant left by Prince Cheng in Yan Mansion to the Queen Mother. The Emperor did not know about this, so it was impossible for him to have such a good attitude towards the Emperor.

The emperor's hands were shaking as he wrote the imperial edict. After he finished writing it, Xie Jingyan took it and left.

After walking a few steps, he turned back to look at Eunuch Yuan and said, "Please tell the Queen Mother that the things that were confiscated from the Yan family that year have been returned by the Ministry of Revenue today. Only half of them are left. If those things are not returned to the Yan family within three days, I will search all the mansions on the pretext of investigating the case of my mother."

After saying this, Xie Jingyan turned and left.
