Faced with the emperor's repeated questions, Wang Yunling could only slightly lower his head and said, "Your Majesty, I remember this."

In fact, her heart clenched.

"The queen has a good memory!" Lu Lingchuan said sarcastically.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the memorial presented by the imperial censor on the Long Case. It contains the entire story of the queen's younger brother's involvement in fraud in the spring of this year.

"Back then, Prime Minister Wang was unwilling to break off the engagement. Did he think that as long as the Wang daughter was in charge of the palace, the Wang family could do whatever they wanted in the court?"

After Lu Lingchuan finished cursing, he threw the memorial in his hand at Wang Yunling with a "snap" sound.

After picking up the memorial and browsing it roughly, Wang Yunling's face suddenly turned pale and she quickly knelt down.

This was a case of fraud in the imperial examination. According to the law, the younger brother's crime would probably be serious.

And Yinwu, a cold smile appeared on the emperor's handsome face.

He said harshly, "I have ordered Dali Temple to conduct a strict investigation. If the charges are proven, he will be executed immediately."

Wang Yunling kept pleading, "Your Majesty, now that my father is old, he loves this little brother the most. I only hope that Your Majesty will be merciful and save this life for the Wang family!"

"Back then, Prime Minister Wang said in front of his father that he was quite satisfied with the prince's night meeting with Wang's daughter. He also spread this rumor. I always took into account the Prime Minister's assistance and support, so I tolerated this matter."

"Now, I may be able to spare your little brother's life, and you can take care of the rest by yourself."

Voices without any emotion came one after another.

Wang Yunling has always had fantasies about this man, always thinking that one day, he would be able to see her good side. But she couldn't warm him up.

She could never warm up to his stone heart.

"Your Majesty, I have been childless for many years and occupy the position of the middle palace. Now I ask Your Majesty to depose me as the queen. I am willing to move to Yaohua Palace and practice Taoism there for the rest of my life."

With tears in Wang Yunling's eyes, she collapsed on the ground, unable to save anything.

They have been a couple in name only for many years, but now they have reached the day when there is no turning back.

"What happened today is the result of your forcing me!"

Lu Lingchuan said coldly, "Wang Dafu, please order someone to send the queen back."

When the footsteps in the hall disappeared, everything returned to deeper silence.

After finishing all the memorials at his desk, Lu Lingchuan still sat sullenly in front of Long's case.

This political matter has been reviewed one by one and sent to the six departments. Lu Lingchuan wonders how he will survive the rest of the long night?

"Wang Dafu!"

Lu Lingchuan called the royal steward in and ordered, "Go to the place where Master Xiuyuan lived and search carefully to see if there is any Dream-Breaking Grass left there?"

The emperor's melancholy voice sounded, which made Wang Dafu's legs tremble.

He knelt in front of Lu Lingchuan and began to howl, "My good majesty, please don't let your mind wander!"

Now the imperial concubine no longer wants His Majesty at all. Your Majesty is sad and sad, is he going to leave everything in this world behind again?

Facing the cry of the loyal eunuch beside him, Lu Lingchuan only felt noisy.

He scolded lightly, "You dog slave, what are you howling for? I'm very good. Besides, occasionally lighting a piece of dreamwort can also help me fall asleep."

Lu Lingchuan's silent eyes stared boredly at the stars on the sky outside the window.

"Your Majesty, the day Master Xiu Yuan left, my servants had already cleaned up the place where he lived."

Lu Lingchuan said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, I have to get used to having nothing."

How can it be considered as having nothing? This is a king who is rich all over the world! As long as he is willing, won't all the beauties, delicacies, and rare treasures in this world belong to him?

But he was so lonely and isolated. Wang Dafu made up his mind that from today on, he would not leave his master easily. He wanted to accompany his master well.

Lu Lingchuan sat alone on the dragon chair and was having a good time.

After a long time and Wang Dafu's repeated urging, he took the medicine. After washing up again, he entered the inner hall and got on the dragon bed.

There was a lot of confusion in his mind. The Anshen Incense was thrown into the chilong cauldron that was as tall as a person and burning. The rising bursts of green smoke could not lead him into his dream.

Closing his eyes, the resolute figure moved further and further away from him.

Lu Lingchuan turned over and sat up, took out the wild duck purse from his middle coat that was about to be burred, looked at it again and again, and carefully hid it in his chest again.

The moment he lay down, he closed his eyes and murmured to himself,——

"Yao'er, if you are willing to pity your brother Lingchuan, let me see you in my dream tonight."

"Just talk to me and smile at me."

"Or if you don't want to, then let me take a good look at you."

"When I wake up, I will be a good emperor and never disturb you."

Seeing the emperor's whisper, Wang Dafu silently blew out the candlestick. He felt sorry for the emperor, but he could only retreat to wait outside the palace with red eyes.

There were chaotic dreams, the glazed tiles were covered with heavy white snow, and the red walls of the palace seemed to have cracks in the ice.

Lu Lingchuan walked alone on a winding palace road.

He squinted his eyes in the wind and snow, and seemed to have arrived at the boundary of Zichen Palace.

He happily walked in and called loudly, "Yao'er!"

No one responded for a long time, only his call echoed over the empty Zichen Palace. Coupled with the whistling north wind, it seemed like a strange monster was chanting something.

Looking carefully, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Your Majesty is wise and has granted death to the demon concubine Shen Yong."

"Long live Long live Long live!"

There were voices praising him everywhere. He was stunned, but he couldn't find the source of the voice.

After taking a few steps back in panic, Lu Lingchuan pulled out the imperial sword from his waist and slashed into the void, "That's nonsense!"

"It's all nonsense!"

Yao'er was his noble concubine, his little childhood sweetheart, and it was never too late to feel sorry for her. Even if he indulged her a little, the most he could do was ground her. How could it be that he had killed her now?

He held the sword in his hand and strode into Zichen Palace. The sight in front of him stunned him.

Kneeling on the snow was a man who looked exactly like him, holding Shen Yao with blood all over his body and face in his arms. The man's face was filled with despair and he was close to madness.

"impossible!"

Lu Lingchuan's heart ached, and he took a few steps forward, only to see that Shen Yao had disappeared with that person.

The blood stains on the snow are like newly blooming red plums.

"Your Majesty! It's not good!"

A young eunuch in green clothes appeared in front of him, with a hurried look on his face, "After hearing the news that His Majesty ordered the death of the demon concubine, Master Shen has already fainted in Qinzheng Hall!

"And Xue Yue, who was guarding the border, also led his troops to rebel!"

The little eunuch continued, "The Queen Mother said that Xue Yue rebelled, which further confirmed that that bitch Shen Yao was in cahoots with him!"

"Shut up!"

The imperial sword in Lu Lingchuan's hand slashed at the eunuch, and his round head rolled with blood on the snow.

The other person continued without giving up, "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you kill me. If you kill Shen Yao, she will no longer be able to live."

Lu Lingchuan held the sword and ran towards Qinzheng Hall again. He wanted to tell Taifu Shen personally that he did not grant Shen Yao death.

"Your Majesty! Xue Yue's army has breached the city gate!"

"Your Majesty, Xue Yue's army has breached the palace!"

Those voices were still ringing in his ears, but he couldn't get through the labyrinth-like palace passages.
