Le Song looked at the courtiers kneeling on the ground and felt a little irritated. Walking back and forth on the jade floor, Meng Wenlu, the young master of the prince, shook his head in disappointment when he saw this. This student of his was good at everything, but his personality was too weak and he had no independent opinion. Otherwise, the emperor would not favor the third prince. .
"Chan'er."
Le Chan heard the voice and turned around happily. When she saw the person coming, she shouted happily: "Mother!"
Li Ru raised her head and glanced at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground, snorted softly and said, "I wonder if you have thought this through, sir?"
The ministers kneeling on the ground looked at each other, but no one dared to say anything. After a moment of silence, an official with a mustache climbed out of the queue, lowered his head and said tremblingly: "I, I would like to support His Highness the Crown Prince."
With the first person, there will be a second person, a third person...
However, there were some who came out and some who remained there in silence to respond.
The queen narrowed her eyes and looked at Lu Mingfan and Su Shirong who were kneeling in front. After a long time, she said leisurely: "Master Lu, I know that you must be thinking about your daughter Chenxia, right?"
Lu Mingfan suddenly guessed what was going on and raised his head suddenly: "What does the queen mean?"
"I just saw the chaos in the scene, so I brought your daughter into the palace. Someone! Please come out, Miss Lu." Li Ru smiled proudly.
After a while, two guards led Lu Chenxia out of the side hall. When Lu Chenxia saw her father, she cried out, "Daddy!" She passed over the two guards in front of her, helped Lu Mingfan, and asked repeatedly, "Dad, how are you? Are you okay?"
Seeing that his daughter was well in front of him, Lu Mingfan nodded happily and said, "I'm fine, Xia'er, did they bully you?"
Lu Chenxia raised her head and glanced at the queen, shook her head and whispered: "No, my daughter is fine."
Li Ru raised her eyebrows and said to Lu Mingfan, "How about it? Mr. Lu, I have delivered your daughter to you intact, now should you also show me something?"
Lu Mingfan was stunned and frowned, but did not answer.
Lu Chenxia suddenly leaned into Lu Mingfan's ear and whispered: "Dad, why don't we agree to the queen first?"
Lu Mingfan immediately shook his head in denial. He patted Lu Chenxia's shoulder helplessly and slowly got up from the ground. Facing Li Ru, he straightened his spine and said slowly: "Empress, as a royal doctor, I should naturally fulfill the duties of a royal doctor. Recently, news came from the palace, It is said that the emperor has been obsessed with the art of immortality since last year, and has neglected a lot of matters in the court. I accidentally got the news that the warlock found for the emperor was actually recommended by the queen! I wonder if the queen has done such a thing? "Lu Mingfan looked directly at Li Ru, his eyes sharp.
At this time, the eyes of all the officials fell on Queen Li Ru. Seeing this, the latter just smiled contemptuously and replied: "It seems that Mr. Lu doesn't quite understand the current situation! The emperor is obsessed with immortality, which is obvious to everyone! I can't see the emperor being troubled by searching for the way to immortality, so I To Li Daochang and others recommended by the emperor." If Lu Mingfan hadn't been able to control most people's choices, why would she, Li Ru, be so polite to him? !
"It seems that the queen has indeed done this." Lu Mingfan nodded expressionlessly, and then said, "Since the crown prince is bestowed by the emperor, sooner or later, this world will also belong to the crown prince, and all ministers will also be the future ones. The emperor is following his lead! Why should the queen be in such a hurry to force her to enter the palace at this time?"
"What do you mean by forcing the palace?" Li Ru suddenly said sternly, "I have received the imperial decree from the emperor to pass the throne!"
"Then please ask the Queen to present the imperial edict. After seeing the imperial edict, the ministers will naturally support the crown prince's enthronement!" This was what Lu Mingfan was waiting for.
"Bring Xu Wu out!" Li Ru shouted.
After a while, Xu Wu staggered out of the Jinluan Palace, holding the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand!
Lu Mingfan looked at Xu Wu in surprise, but Xu Wu, who had always been close to him, seemed to have a sullen face as if he had not seen him.
When the ministers saw the imperial edict in his hand, they knelt down and shouted long live. Xu Wu slowly opened the imperial edict in his hand and said in a solemn and solemn voice: "By God's destiny, the emperor summoned me. I have been on the throne for more than ten years, and I have done everything with my own hands, and all nations are convinced of it." . The government is clear and clear, the monarch and his ministers are harmonious. Their virtues are comparable to those of the forefathers, and their achievements are more expected from future generations. The Crown Prince chants, his character is noble, and he is very popular in my heart. His ambition is strong and his heart is unswerving. I want to pass it on to the Crown Prince. I, my ministers, should carefully lay the groundwork and support the country together. I appreciate this!"
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor—" a long voice spread to the sky.
Lu Mingfan raised his head and looked directly at Xu Wu, saying, "Master Xu, are you sure this imperial edict was issued by the emperor himself?"
"Bold! Mr. Lu, do you still dare to doubt the Holy Emperor's will?" Li Ru scolded with a snort.
Lu Mingfan remained calm: "Excuse me, Queen, where is Your Majesty now?"
As soon as this sentence came out, there was no voice in the field.
"Queen, I have something to say." At this time, a person raised his head and said in a deep voice.
"Haha, Prime Minister Su, what do you have to say?" Li Ru glanced at Su Shirong, the expression on his face was extremely dull.
Su Shirong didn't care and said loudly: "The Queen has the Holy Majesty's decree, and Mr. Xu has passed it on, so I naturally have nothing to say. But, I wonder if there is a jade seal on the decree?"
When Su Shirong's words came out, the venue fell into silence once again.
"Haha, it seems that the ministers still don't believe me! If you have any questions, why don't you raise them together!" Li Ru sneered.
"I have a question. I wonder if the Queen can answer it for me?"
A majestic voice reached everyone's ears from far away. Li Ru suddenly looked up and saw the emperor, Eunuch Li, Gao Er and others walking towards this place majestically. With the might of a tiger and a dragon, he charged towards Li Ru with awe-inspiring momentum.
"emperor-"
"The Emperor is here!"
When Le Song saw the emperor, his whole body collapsed to the ground.
"Xu Wu, I wonder when I asked you to draft this edict?" The emperor didn't even look at the queen, staring at Xu Wu who was standing with his head bowed.
After Xu Wu saw the emperor coming, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he seemed to be well prepared for the emperor's questioning. He knelt down calmly and said calmly: "Xu Wu, plead guilty!"
"No!" A light-colored figure burst out of the Jinluan Palace and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty—my father did not make any mistakes. He was forced by the Queen!"
The emperor glanced at Xu Fanling, snorted, raised his head and squinted at the queen, and after a long time he said quietly: "The queen is really getting more and more capable!"
Li Ru saw that the emperor had returned to the palace intact. Although she didn't know how he came back, she still had the last trump card. She would not admit defeat!
"The emperor is laughing at you. If I don't have skills, I don't know if I can save my life!"
The emperor looked at her deeply and said, "Queen, why are you doing this? I never wanted to kill you."
"Really? Do you know what a woman's life is?" Li Ru laughed at herself and said softly.
The emperor raised his eyebrows without comment. He just turned around and said to the ministers behind him: "You all go back, today's morning meeting is cancelled."
At this time, the sky was already slightly brighter, and it turned out that I had been tossing it all night without even realizing it.
"This..." Lu Mingfan looked at the emperor hesitantly.
Cold sweat broke out on Su Shirong's forehead, but he didn't know when it broke out. When I heard the emperor's words, I couldn't help but kneel down and said: "Your Majesty, my ministers..."
The emperor glanced at Su Shirong and hummed: "Su Shirong, I know what you want to say! For the sake of your fifth daughter, I will let you go for now! I will settle accounts with you later!"
Su Shirong was shocked after hearing this. For the sake of the fifth daughter? Liuyuan? What did she do? What happened? This series of questions ran through Su Shirong's mind, but he didn't dare to say another word and said quickly: "Yes, I'm resigning!"
The prime minister retreated, and other officials naturally followed slowly.
Lu Chenxia supported her father and slowly walked out of the palace. When she passed by Su Liuyuan, she couldn't help but look at her sideways.
There was no expression on Su Liuyuan's face, but the ebony hairpin in her hair was gone...
Seeing that her carefully laid game collapsed in an instant, Li Ru felt unwilling. She glared at the emperor fiercely and said, "Lexi, let me tell you! I didn't lose!"
But Lexi shook her head and said, "You lost. You lost twenty years ago. You lost everything!"
Hearing this, Su Liuyuan's hand, which was quietly standing behind, was suddenly grabbed by a pair of slightly cold hands. She looked in surprise, but it was Xie Weixing. He pulled her and quietly led her away from this place of right and wrong.
"Really? Hahahaha, Lexi, yes, yes, yes, I lost twenty years ago. I lost my heart, my love, and my whole family! You, the executioner, give back the lives of my whole family!" After saying that, He rushed forward, but his feet were held by Xu Wu on the side.
"Let me go!" the queen glared at Xu Wu at her feet and cursed.
Xu Fanling was originally supporting Xu Wu, but was suddenly thrown away by Xu Wu, feeling a little stunned.
"Queen, please let go!" Xu Wu said heartbrokenly.
The emperor's eyes deepened and he said to Li Ru in a deep voice: "Twenty years ago, do you know why I ordered the Li family to be confiscated and your father and brother to be beheaded?"
"Your Majesty!" Xu Wu suddenly interrupted the Emperor's words.
Looking away at Xu Wu, the emperor walked slowly towards the Jinluan Palace. There were no changes here, except for the addition of a few more guards.
"You all get out."
"Yes!" A unified reply, a unified pace.
Li Ru kicked Xu Wu away from her feet indifferently and followed the emperor into the Golden Palace.
After entering, she saw her husband, who had been with her for twenty-three years, touching the dragon chair in the palace, with a confused and nostalgic look on his face. Hearing the footsteps of the Queen coming in, he sighed softly and said: "Queen, you and I have been married for twenty-three years. In these years, I have been thinking about that sentence all the time. I only wish that you and I would never acquaintance."
Li Ru was stunned after hearing this. The sound of the long phoenix robe behind him dragging on the ground is like a memory that follows him like a shadow.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at the figure beside the dragon chair, and said sarcastically: "Really? It turns out that in the heart of the emperor, I am so unworthy that I don't even want to be acquainted with you."
