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

The Queen Mother fainted and it was three days before she woke up.

The emperor did not postpone the execution at Duke Mao's mansion just because the empress dowager vomited blood and fainted again.

So when the Queen Mother woke up, everyone in Duke Mao's mansion had already been laid to rest.

During this period, only Princess Huyang went to the palace to plead for mercy on behalf of Duke Mao's Mansion.

Well, to be precise, it’s not about pleading for the Maoguo Mansion.

Duke Mao and Empress Wei plotted to murder Concubine Chen. Although there were people instigating them from behind, the same thing still applies: Empress Wei had no intention of harming anyone and no one could instigate her to do that.

To plead for Duke Mao would mean to make an enemy of Prince Ling who wanted to avenge his biological mother, Concubine Chen. Princess Huyang is not so stupid.

But Princess Huyang knew how important the Duke Mao's Mansion was in the heart of the Queen Mother. She was so angry that she vomited blood again when she knew that the Emperor was going to execute the entire family of the Duke Mao's Mansion. Princess Huyang was afraid that the Queen Mother would not be able to bear such a blow when she woke up.

There are many ways to punish Duke Mao. It is not necessary to execute him. Even if he must be executed, there is no need to rush it in a year or two. The Queen Mother is old and in poor health. She doesn't have much time left. Princess Huyang hopes that the Emperor will take into account the Queen Mother's kindness in raising her and temporarily spare the lives of everyone in Duke Mao's mansion.

But even if Princess Huyang knelt down and begged the emperor, the emperor remained unmoved.

When Empress Wei and Duke Mao were plotting against Concubine Chen, they should have thought about the day when their scheme would be exposed. They made him lose his loved one and created a rift between him and Yan'er and his son. Killing all nine generations of his clan was already too easy for them.

The Queen Mother protected Prince Cheng, Queen Wei, and Duke Mao's Mansion, and deceived him, the Emperor. Now he has to consider the Queen Mother's health and save these people's lives.

If the Queen Mother had not attached so much importance to the Duke Mao's Mansion, they would not have the courage to touch the Concubine Chen.

The emperor was even unwilling to listen to Princess Huyang's kneeling pleas, and directly ordered the prince consort to take Princess Huyang away.

However, the emperor executed the entire family of Duke Mao, but did not kill the eldest prince.

When Empress Wei and Duke Mao plotted against Concubine Chen, the eldest prince was only thirteen years old and he did not participate in the murder of Concubine Chen.

After knowing that he was doomed to die for the private sale of Meizhou granary, Duke Mao took all the blame on himself. In fact, he was the one who caused this incident. Supporting the eldest prince and Xie Jingyin in their fight for the crown prince position and winning over court officials required money. The financial resources of Duke Mao's mansion were not enough to support the expenses, and Duke Mao was unwilling to pay out of his own pocket.

That's why they set their sights on the Meizhou granary. This matter was led by Duke Mao and he was the one who handled it. He insisted that it had nothing to do with the eldest prince. This crime could not be pinned on the eldest prince, and he could only be charged with knowing about it and not reporting it.

In addition, Empress Wei and Duke Mao plotted to murder Concubine Chen and the son of Concubine Chen, so they were punished for both crimes. The Emperor demoted the eldest prince to a commoner and demoted him to guard the imperial mausoleum.

When the Queen Mother woke up, everything was settled.

The Queen Mother felt the heart-wrenching pain of having her mother's family destroyed by her own son.

Except for the Emperor and Princess Huyang, no one she wanted to protect in her life had a good ending.

The emperor was protected by the previous emperor. After he ascended the throne, he held the power of life and death and no longer needed the protection of the empress dowager.

Princess Huyang was protected by her eldest son-in-law, who only held a nominal position in the court and was unwilling to offer advice to the eldest prince on how to succeed the throne. The Empress Dowager looked down upon Princess Huyang's scheming and tactics, so Princess Huyang and her eldest son-in-law were able to stay out of the matter.

After finding his own son Du Cheng'an, the eldest son-in-law secretly put people into the City Patrol Office without the Queen Mother's knowledge, and asked Du Cheng'an to befriend the Prince of Yanping and others. Although he never expressed his position openly, he had actually already stood on the side of Prince Ling.

Thinking of the Duke Mao's Mansion, the Queen Mother was filled with grief, "If they had listened to me, how could they have ended up like this?!"

The Queen Mother burst into tears.

Nanny Zhao stood aside, sighing in her heart.

The Queen Mother sees it clearly, but she is too selfish.

Since entering the palace, Empress Wei has provoked Concubine Chen many times. Although the Empress Dowager has scolded Empress Wei many times, she has never helped to clean up the mess when she caused trouble.

Just a few scoldings and being punished to copy the palace rules were not a big deal.

After being indulged time and time again, how could Empress Wei and Duke Mao really take the Empress Dowager's words seriously? Anyway, if they got into trouble, the Empress Dowager would take the blame. Finally, they were instigated by others and killed Concubine Chen, which brought them to their own death.

The Queen Mother was so heartbroken by Prince Cheng that the Emperor didn't even care about her life or death.

In fact, from the emperor's perspective, he is also in a difficult situation.

When Concubine Chen got into trouble, the Emperor demoted Prince Ling to guard the imperial mausoleum and executed the entire Yan family. The Empress Dowager knew that Concubine Chen had not betrayed the Emperor and was being framed, but she still did not stop the Emperor. Although she asked the Minister of Justice to save a trace of Yan family bloodline, that was also earned by Concubine Chen's compromise.

The evidence of the Duke Mao's Mansion's guilt is solid, and the Queen Mother wants the Emperor to spare the lives of everyone in the Duke Mao's Mansion. Even if the Emperor agrees, Prince Ling will not do so.

If the emperor really wants to spare the Duke Mao's Mansion, Prince Ling should lead all the civil and military officials in the court to force the emperor to execute everyone in the Duke Mao's Mansion.

Could the Emperor do something that would hurt the relationship between him and Prince Ling just for the sake of Duke Mao, who had hurt him and caused him pain for so many years?

Even if the sun rises from the west, this would not be possible.

The emperor demoted the eldest prince to guard the imperial mausoleum in order to appease Prince Ling's anger and to shut the empress dowager up.

The Queen Mother never pleaded for Prince Ling back then, and now there is no need for her to do so for the Crown Prince.

……

There has been considerable turmoil in the imperial court these days.

After all, the eldest prince and Duke Mao were quite powerful in the court, and when Xie Jingyin got into trouble before, many ministers defected in time. They thought they had escaped a disaster, but who would have thought that they could escape the first day, but not the fifteenth.

When the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken. The Duke Mao's Mansion is the Empress Dowager's family, and it was destroyed by the Emperor. The eldest prince was also deposed and demoted, let alone their followers.

To murder the Concubine Chen and touch the Emperor's beloved, isn't this courting death? !

It's a pity that they still wanted to gain some merit from following the dragon, but ended up losing their entire future.

These days, the eldest prince's followers have been offering almost their entire fortunes to seek protection everywhere, but who would dare to get involved in this shit at this time? It would be considered kind not to take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury and seek credit from Prince Ling.

The situation in the court was changing rapidly, but Prince Ling's mansion was peaceful and full of laughter.

On this day, Shen Wan was playing with a rattle in the room to entertain the child. Dong'er came in with a red and gold invitation and said, "Princess, the Shen Mansion sent an invitation to invite you and the prince to attend the Fourth Miss's wedding banquet."

Shen Wei is getting married, so I have to go.

Not only do I have to attend the wedding banquet, but I also have to go to the Duke of Wei's mansion to drink wedding wine.

Yin Shuang asked, "Princess, are you going back to give the fourth young lady some makeup these two days?"

Shen Wan had already prepared the make-up for Shen Wei, but she had no plan to go back in the next two days. If she went to the fourth room, the fourth wife would definitely greet her, and it was busy now, so she would not add to the chaos. Besides, she and Shen Wei didn't need to talk so much, and it wouldn't be too late to send her off when she went back on the day of her wedding.
