The royal capital, the imperial palace, and the Qianlong palace.
"Your Majesty, the Empress asks to see you." The eunuch walked into the hall with his head down, and said to Li Heng in a low voice.
Li Heng was upset right now, but he couldn't find anyone to talk to. When he heard the queen came, he immediately said, "Let the queen come in."
Empress Fang walked in from the outside, and when she looked up, she saw Li Heng, who was walking back and forth in the hall, full of irritability. She sighed softly from the bottom of her heart, "The concubine has seen the emperor."
"The empress is excused." Li Heng held her hand, "You came just in time, I have something to tell you."
"Is it about Lord Ye? I heard that he has resigned from his official position with the emperor. Has the emperor kept him?" Queen Fang asked in a low voice.
Li Heng was worried about this matter, "Why didn't I keep him? He is the pillar of Dongqing Kingdom. I said many good things. He insisted on leaving. I have nothing to do. I have to let people watch the Ye Mansion first." , not to let Ye Yiqing leave the royal capital."
Queen Fang exclaimed in surprise, "The emperor put him under house arrest in Ye Mansion?"
"It's not under house arrest!" Li Heng frowned, and said with some guilt, "I... I just don't want him to leave the capital city like this, at least try to persuade him."
"Has the emperor thought about how to severely punish the eldest princess?" Empress Fang felt chills in her heart, why did she think that Ye Yiqing would definitely leave this time, if people looked at Ye's mansion, how could they keep Ye Yiqing.
Mentioning this, Li Heng looked puzzled, "The eldest princess is my sister, can I still kill her? Mrs. Ye is fine now, and I have ordered Li Yu to move out of the capital. Isn't that enough?"
Empress Fang sighed in her heart, and asked Li Yu to think about her mistakes behind closed doors. What kind of punishment was punishing her to leave the capital city? Ye Yiqing was afraid that now he could wish to destroy her. The emperor's partiality was too obvious. No wonder Ye Yiqing resigned directly from office.
She shouldn't have been negligent that day, knowing that Li Yu had been looking for opportunities to take revenge on Ye Yiqing, why did she think that Li Yu would not dare to be arrogant in the palace? She was ashamed of Ye Yiqing and of Lu Yaoyao's entrustment. When they were not around, she failed to protect Zhaoyang, causing her to have a miscarriage due to Li Yu. I'm afraid that Li Yu will ruin his reputation.
Li Yu... Thinking of this eldest princess, Empress Fang gritted her teeth with hatred, but the emperor still cared about the brotherhood and refused to kill her to keep Ye Yiqing.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Ye almost died. Although she saved her life now, the child is gone." Queen Fang said in a low voice, "Master Ye built two cities for the Dongqing Kingdom in Xiliang, and he took Mrs. Ye Staying in Wangdu City is because he believes that the emperor can protect the safety of his family. Only in Xiliang can he have no worries. Now that something like this happened to him when he comes back, can he feel better? Even if you don’t want to severely punish the eldest princess, you shouldn’t be so biased .”
Li Heng frowned and looked at Empress Fang, "It's useless even if I demote the eldest princess to a commoner, Ye Yiqing wants me to kill the eldest princess."
Then kill! Empress Fang said in her heart that she felt that people like Li Yu would be harmful even if they were alive, so it would be better to die early, "The emperor doesn't want to kill the eldest princess, so how can we keep Mrs. Ye? Even if you force him to keep him, then So what? Will he be willing to use it for you?"
"What does the queen mean?" Li Heng knew that no matter what he said now, he would not be able to keep Ye Yiqing, even if he killed the eldest princess.
His actions have already hurt Ye Yiqing, and he probably won't be as loyal as before.
"The emperor's illness was cured by Lord Ye's daughter. No matter how you look at it, Ye Yiqing has nothing but credit to the emperor. Even if you keep him today, unless you plan to kill him, otherwise..." Queen Fang remembered Ye Yiqing was the only one able to overcome Dongqing's difficulties. She didn't know what the country would look like after Ye Yiqing left. "Your Majesty, Jin Kingdom will not ignore it."
Li Heng took a deep breath, "Queen, if Ye Yiqing leaves, Dongqing Kingdom... will be in danger."
"Your Majesty, talk to Master Ye again. It would be good if he can change his mind." Queen Fang said.
"You are right, I should look for him again, no matter what he wants, I will agree to him." Li Heng said in a low voice, "I will go see him now."
Queen Fang smiled and said, "Okay."
Li Heng immediately asked people to prepare the carriages and horses. He changed into a set of royal blue brocade robes, and hurried out before the night fell. His carriage had just left the palace when the royal guards came to report that the eldest princess was going to the palace. The Ye family is looking for the prime minister.
"..." Li Heng was stunned, almost vomited blood out of anger.
Is the eldest princess going to the prime minister's mansion to seek death
Li Yu really didn't come to Ye's house to seek death. She just left on the way to die and never returned. She thought that she was not severely punished because the emperor didn't dare to do anything to her. When she heard that Ye Yiqing resigned, she didn't care. I am still grounded now, so I came to Ye's house immediately.
In Li Yu's life, she has never lacked men, so she never cared about any man, until she met Ye Yiqing.
How could she let Ye Yiqing leave Wangdu City like this? Even if he doesn't love her, she won't let him go.
"Eldest princess, the emperor has ordered that no one can enter." The commander of the imperial forest guards guarding outside the door of Ye's house forcibly stopped Li Yu. Because of Mrs. Ye's matter, Lord Ye is about to resign and leave. No one in the court is watching now. Li Yu is pleasing to the eye, let alone a commander who was born as a general.
Li Yu glared at him angrily, and slapped him, "You dog, let me pass!"
"Princess, even if you go in, Master Ye won't see you, why bother to humiliate yourself here." The commander said coldly, not letting her in at all.
"If you dare to stop me again, I will definitely kill you." Li Yu shouted angrily.
The commander just looked at her coldly, and stood still to block Li Yu.
Ye Yiqing, who was accompanying Zhaoyang, heard that Li Yu was outside the door, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he looked down at Zhaoyang, "You rest, I will come as soon as I go."
"Revenge is fine at any time, don't rush it for a while, let's talk about it after we leave here first." Zhaoyang was afraid that Ye Yiqing would kill Li Yu outside, so he took his hand and hoped that he would not be impulsive.
Ye Yiqing smiled lightly, "It's too cheap to just kill her like this, don't worry, I'll keep her alive."
When Zhaoyang heard what he said, she smiled and let go of his hand. She hated Li Yu in her heart, but she knew very well that if Li Yu was killed now, it would be even more difficult for them to leave Dongqing.
The future is long, and she has enough patience to let Li Yu get his retribution.
