Ye Zhen, who was chased away by Bai Fu, was still in a daze before she came to Ganquan Palace. The sentence "No trespassing in the study area, anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy" has broken her heart and heart, as if she was in an abyss. Back then, in the Weiyang Palace, the imperial study, and even the emperor's bedroom, where she was not allowed to pass freely, but I don't know when the emperor was alienated or even on guard against her.
Why? It was clear that when Zhao Lu was divorced, he kept telling him to stop remembering the past and work hard for the future; he was gentle and caring to her, but his attitude changed drastically in an instant. That's right, his indifference, alienation, and precaution all started when he intervened in Zhao Luli's back house, frequently made a face to the Ye family, and made trouble with the Guan family everywhere.
Guan Family, everything is because of Guan Family, don't you owe them in your last life? Ye Zhen hated and poisoned the "Guan Family", but now there is no way to return it. Sadly, she realized that her weight in the emperor's heart was probably not as much as that of Guan's family. They are Confucian giants, literary leaders, the humerus of the country, the emperor's close ministers, and the Ye family has nothing but a saving grace - no outstanding descendants, no honest family style, no good reputation and noble blood, and more Without the slightest foundation and support.
So everything has to rely on her to fight, to rob, to go to great lengths, to do whatever it takes. All of a sudden, Ye Zhen felt very tired, and there was a sense of fear that she would keep falling and would eventually be shattered. That's why, when she stepped into the main hall and saw the three of Liu's family, she didn't want to say a word.
Zhao Chunxi wanted to call her mother, but she didn't dare to make trouble, so she could only look at her eagerly. She has a lot of grievances she wants to talk about, but she also knows that the top priority right now is the destruction of the coral tree. Liu Shi really couldn't hold back his words, hurried up to meet him, opened his mouth and asked, "Niangniang, what did the emperor say? Have you issued a decree to block the entire city and search for suspects?"
Ye Zhen glanced at her coldly, and sat down in the main seat with a sullen face. The emperor refused to see her, and now he can only wait for news from his father.
Ye Fan is the best at observing words and expressions, and holding Liu Shi to persuade him, "Auntie, Niangniang has just returned, you can give her a cup of hot tea to catch her breath. In such a big case, the emperor has his own decision, we just need to sit and wait. ."
Zhao Chunxi was very obedient. He picked up the teapot before Yonghe and poured tea for his mother. His face was full of joy at seeing his relatives and eagerness for mother's love. Ye Zhen gave her a fixed look, feeling very tired inside. If it wasn't for this useless thing to send in the news and ask her to help contain the Guan family, she would put Ye Fan into the Hou residence? Will you intervene in the affairs of foreign ministers and inner houses? Will you go up against the Guan family to lift the Ye family and slap the Guan family in the face
Without Zhao Chunxi's encouragement, she would at most eliminate the signs of Guan's entry into the palace, and there would be no bad things to follow, and she would not directly confront the Guan family, so that she accidentally hurt Shengyan and lost all her favor. The more Ye Zhen thought about it, the more disgusted she felt towards this daughter, she seemed to forget that Zhao Chunxi's temperament was ten percent like her.
A woman's jealousy is the sharpest weapon in the world, and also the most terrible poison.
Zhao Chunxi was a little chilled by his mother's strange eyes, and was about to say a few soft words to provoke her pity, when he saw his grandfather staggering in, his official hat was crooked, his hair was messed up, his clothes were half wet, and his face was like gold paper. , It seemed that he had turned a few laps on the Asura field, embarrassed and embarrassed.
"Master, what did the emperor say?" Liu Shi immediately went up to ask, and finally said in a trembling voice, "How could you do this, but fell?"
Master Ye waved his wife away and said solemnly to his daughter, "It's inconvenient here, let's take a step to talk, don't follow me, just sit outside and drink tea."
Realizing that the situation was not good, Ye Zhen hurriedly led her father into the inner hall, and withdrew from the palace's secret conversation. Ye Ye has no intention of beating around the bush, and straight to the point, "Tell me honestly, how is your relationship with the emperor?"
"It's true that the husband and wife are deeply in love." Ye Zhen's tone was firm, but her eyes flickered slightly. This is the problem she is most afraid to face, and it is also the root cause of her tossing and turning and sleepless nights. If she is really favored as rumored, there is no problem now, why is Guan Shi afraid? What are you afraid of? What are the concubines and empress dowagers afraid of? Of course, she can only deceive herself after all, and she can only endure all the pain and loss alone.
"You still refuse to tell the truth! The emperor's words and deeds in the imperial study do not seem to have a deep-rooted love for you at all..." Ye Ye repeated the conversations in the imperial study one by one, and finally lowered his voice and asked, "I think the emperor is only responsible for you, and has no personal feelings. Why don't you tell me the truth? If you said it earlier, how dare I call myself the king? Do you know the meaning of the emperor's shallow blessing?"
"What?" Ye Zhen's voice was trembling, it wasn't that she couldn't think of it, but she didn't dare to think about it.
However, Ye Ye wanted to pierce her dream, and said fiercely, "It means that you only have to sit in the position of Jieyu and you will be in the sky, you can't bear the greater honor and wealth! Accompanying him for so long, You can't grasp his sincerity at all. How did I teach you in the past? How did you swear to remarry? I spent so much manpower and material resources to help you achieve your wish, and you repaid it with such an embarrassing situation Me? Do you know that once the emperor's conclusion spreads, our Ye family will become the laughing stock of Wei State, and anyone can step on it; what's worse, judging from the emperor's indifferent reaction, the coral tree may He sent someone to break it up. If you want to lift the Ye family to suppress the Guan family, he will simply wipe all the face of the Ye family. You idiot, if you had told me earlier that your favor was false, I would have let the Ye family fully The clan is a man! But it is too late to say anything now. In the emperor's heart, the Ye family is probably no different from those wild relatives of the previous dynasty. It is impossible to say that they will be destroyed one day. You, you, you idiot, If I had known today, I shouldn't have helped you do anything wrong in the first place!"
Ye Zhen has a very strong self-esteem and an idea. Being stabbed in the heart by her father's words, she slowly stabilized her mind and became firm again, "Enough, what's the use of you blaming me? That idea, you have already died in prison. What do you say to help me, you ask yourself who I am doing to save? Who will benefit in the end? Today, I am still the emperor's pillow, and still the highest position. Empress Jie Yu, who is still in charge of the palace, is one of a kind. From today onwards, the Ye family will have a difficult time, but once I become pregnant and give birth to the emperor's eldest son, all estrangements will disappear, and all derogations will turn into high praises. The useful pieces are still in my hand, what are you anxious about?"
When Master Ye heard this, he immediately turned his anger into joy, and urged, "Then you should return to your favor and give birth immediately! There are many concubines in the harem, so it may not be you who came out on top."
"Bengong has its own regulations, you don't need to say more. Take those outsiders away, thisgong must cultivate one's self-cultivation, wait for the opportunity to return to favor, and have no time to manage the mess of the Ye family. Also, in the future, tell the clan to be honest, don't wait. I just got a smile from the emperor here, and you stabbed the basket outside, causing me to fall again. At that time, I will not recognize my six relatives!" Ye Zhen's voice seemed to be poisoned, very cruel.
"That's natural, don't worry." Seeing that his daughter regained the arrogance of Empress Jieyu, Master Ye was finally satisfied, and only then did he lead the ignorant Liu family out of the palace.
At the same time, the guards who besieged Ye Mansion were taken away by Bai Fu personally, and they were all demoted. Because too many people were implicated, and the eldest princess and a few noble ladies contributed to the flames, the emperor asserted that The word "Ye Jiafu is too thin to bear his grace" has spread quickly, and it will be known to everyone within a few days.
Not only was the Ye family unlucky, but Xu Guangzhi, who was cut off from his career, was almost crazy, and he secretly hated the Guan family, and always wanted to find a chance to take revenge without mentioning it.
---------
After asking for a long time, Zhao Chunxi didn't know the inside story from his grandfather's mouth. He returned to the messy Ye Mansion, changed into a skirt, and returned home with his father and younger brother. The three of them felt up and down in their hearts and felt uneasy, always feeling that something big was going to happen.
"How is the situation in the palace? I see that your grandfather and grandmother look very bad. Besides, the emperor did not strictly investigate the destruction of the national treasure. Instead, the imperial army was withdrawn, which is really incomprehensible." Zhao Luli tried to get a little from his daughter. information.
"I don't know either. I asked my grandmother, but she refused to tell me, and told me not to talk too much." Zhao Chunxi was also puzzled. It stands to reason that such a big thing happened to the Ye family, which directly damaged the majesty of the mother and slapped the face of the royal family. Why did the emperor have no reaction at all? Based on how much he loves his mother, this shouldn't be the case!
"Is your aunt looking okay? Did she say something?" Zhao Luli endured and endured, but finally couldn't hold back.
"No, she only spoke to her grandfather in the inner hall. We waited outside, and we parted in a hurry. There was no conversation." Zhao Chunxi was tired of his father's weakness and incompetence, and he was even more tired of his useless infatuation and no regrets. Lean on and pretend to be tired.
Zhao Luli didn't say more after seeing this, he lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, his eyes full of disappointment. Compared with everyone else who was devastated, distraught, or resentful, Guan Suyi lived a very comfortable life. She was picking up Buddha beans in the old lady's yard. She moved step by step and looked carefully. Every time she found one, she had endless fun.
The old lady was amused by her cheerful appearance, and urged, "Pick up a good basket, we will cook it into porridge, and give it to passers-by who pass by the Hou's Mansion, so that we can form a good relationship and cultivate an afterlife."
"Cultivating an afterlife? This is a great word!" Because of his rebirth, Guan Suyi began to be interested in Buddhism, and he has been doing a lot of research recently.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spent more than two hours picking up a full basket of Buddha beans, and ordered the maids to send them to the kitchen to cook porridge. While waiting, the old lady sighed leisurely, "Suyi, it's really hard for you to marry into the Zhao family. Your husband is useless, the child is ignorant, and there is a difficult foreign family. I never expected the Ye family to be so rampant. , not only forced the Hou Ye to take a concubine, but also invited Ye Jieyu to take action, while holding up and suppressing, the kung fu of two-faced and three-swords is really perfect. You must be steady..."
Before the old lady could finish speaking, Guan Suyi laughed disapprovingly, "Don't worry, the Ye family is mad for a while, but it will last forever. Do you think Ye Jieyu's actions can really bring her family to heaven? Wrong? , I am afraid that I will fall down halfway, not to mention the broken body and the head, but it is inevitable to hurt the muscles and bones."
Zhao Luli, who had just returned to the house and was about to take the children to greet their mother, was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to stop the maid who wanted to pass the message. He wanted to hear what Guan Suyi would say. Her mouth was always predictable, without any mistakes.
