In the Ganquan Palace, Ye Zhen's face was pale, and she was lying on the bed with chapped lips. If it wasn't for the slight heaving of her chest, it looked like a corpse. The two palace maids knelt beside the bed to guard them all the time, for fear that Empress Jieyu would die if she made a mistake.
After a while, Yong He came in with a bowl of soup and medicine, and whispered, "Miss, wake up, it's time to drink the medicine."
Ye Zhen woke up leisurely, her eyes that had disappeared unconsciously stared at the bed curtain, and it took a while to figure out when and where it was. With the help of the palace maid, she managed to sit up halfway and coughed, "Has the emperor visited this palace today?" She was in a drowsiness for eight hours a day, for fear of missing that person's arrival.
Yong He's face darkened slightly, and he said cautiously, "Qiyi Niangniang, the emperor is busy with government affairs, and he has never spared time. However, the servant has already sent the news that your condition has eased. I must have been busy this time, and the emperor should come."
"Really?" Ye Zhen smiled bitterly, "He won't come when Ben Gong is terminally ill, and he won't come if he gets better. Yong He, you don't have to coax Ben Gong." At this point, she waved her hand to dismiss the idle and miscellaneous people, etc. He continued, "Now I finally understand what Bengong is in his heart. In seven years, even if you cover a stone, let alone cover it, you can still get a little bit of warmth, but he's better, if he turns his face, he turns his face. , really the emperor is ruthless. Ben Gong sacrificed his life to stay with him, but I don't know if it's right or wrong."
"Niangniang, don't think nonsense, it's important to take care of your body quickly!" Seeing that there was no one left or right, Yong He immediately took out a pale red pill from his cuff and stuffed it into his master's palm. Ye Zhen shook it slightly, swallowed it while coughing with her head down, and then took the decoction and sipped it in small sips.
When the master took the antidote, Yong He whispered, "Miss, you are still far from the point of hopelessness. The emperor has no children. If you give birth to the eldest son first, the Ye family will be able to recover. So your priority now is It is to prepare for pregnancy, and when the remaining toxins in the body are exhausted, the slaves will make a few more doses of decoction to nourish the palace, let you drink it every day, and you will be able to have sex within two months."
Ye Zhen drank the last sip of the decoction and said helplessly, "The emperor never touches Ben Gong, how does Ben Gong get pregnant?"
"Niang Niang, you have never been in bed?" Yong He was so shocked that he almost shattered the medicine bowl. She only knew that the emperor never stayed in Ganquan Palace, but he never stayed in other palaces. During the day, she often came, and occasionally screened her left and right to talk to the empress in the inner hall. do it
Under the suspicious eyes of the confidant, Ye Zhen finally poured out all the most embarrassing secrets that were hidden in the deepest part of her heart, "Bengong and the emperor have never had skin-to-skin relationship. I still remember the day when the Marquis gave the marriage, he patted it lightly. Ben Gong's arm? In seven years, it was the first time he touched Ben Gong."
Yong He didn't dare to ask any more, worried that he couldn't contain such a huge secret. She thought that the empress could successfully enter the harem and get such a high position, she should have held the emperor in the palm of her hand, but it turned out that the person had never even touched her, and the meticulous care for so many years was really because of that little life-saving Grace.
Emperor Ruo is as serious as rumors, but in some respects, he is extremely cold. If you can't get into his heart, you will risk your life for him, and all he can give is gratitude and care, not affectionate love. Saying that he is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, and that he is hard-hearted is also good, how can such a person please
The more Yong He thought about it, the more he felt that the way forward was bleak, and his face could not help but become decadent. The closed moon is ashamed, and the beautiful city is as beautiful as the empress, and it took seven years to settle it. Who in this world can crack the emperor's hard heart? Do they really think about it forever behind closed doors
In the end, it was Ye Zhen who spoke, "You first help Bengong to recuperate his body and remove the remaining toxins as soon as possible. When Bengong is ready, there will naturally be a way to make the emperor submit. In the past, in order to give him a good impression of being virtuous and virtuous, it was inevitable that Bengong would I’m a little more conservative and cautious, but I can’t in the future. If we don’t take extraordinary measures, maybe our Ganquan Palace will become a cold palace from now on. The emperor only let this palace think about it behind closed doors, but he didn’t say when the ban would be lifted, and even the palace affairs were slow. To transfer it to those new concubines, this is just emptying the palace. In the end, he is different from the past, and his heart is so hard."
Glancing at Yong He, who only complied with the promise, she lowered her voice as much as possible, "Take out the treasure at the bottom of the box in this palace, and use everything that should be used in the future."
"Yes, the slaves took the time to check and check, and they haven't been used for a long time. I'm afraid that their effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Last time, the eldest lady took a box when she entered the palace, and the slaves were all recorded on the account." Yong He said as he went to the bottom of the bed , and suddenly heard the sound of messy footsteps outside.
"Breaking into the inner hall without permission, do you want your life?" Yong He hurriedly went out to stop him, but saw that the person who came was a servant, sweating profusely, and his face flushed red.
"Reporting to Empress Jieyu, the big thing is bad!" The inner servant knelt down with a thud and hurriedly said, "The emperor has established an official office today called the Inspectorate, which is dedicated to speaking and supervising hundreds of officials, with great powers, even the emperor's His words and deeds are also within the scope of impeachment, and he cannot be convicted by words. And the emperor is also the chief censor of the inspectorate. As soon as he put on his official robe, he participated in Master Ye's book, and directly stated Master Ye's thirty-two counts, involving conspiracy and conspiracy. Rebellion, bullying, disrespectful, disrespectful, etc..."
"What an imperial teacher who is dedicated to the public, what a Guan family with a clean style! He is clearly avenging his personal revenge! Did the emperor really listen to his false accusation?" Fall back instantly.
The servant swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a trembling voice, "Miss, the servant has not finished speaking yet. He finished his interview with Lord Ye, and then he impeached the emperor for being cronyism and not cultivating internal affairs, causing foreign relatives to disrupt the court, colluding with the ministers and servants, and endangering the holy life. Sheng Yan. Now that the emperor has committed a crime against himself, he has copied the ancestral teachings a hundred times in the imperial study as a warning..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Zhen was paralyzed as soft as mud, full of despair. The emperor first impeached the Ye family, making people think that he had selfish desires, and then he impeached the emperor, which immediately brought a big reversal, giving people the impression of being unafraid of power and selfless. If the emperor did not want to abolish the so-called inspectorate on the first day, he would strictly investigate the Ye family and his father.
What kind of benevolent family, when their hearts are ruthless, they are more poisonous than snakes and scorpions! Ben Gong just pressed Guan Suyi's face a little bit, but the moment they made a move, it was a killer move, and they wouldn't leave anyone behind! Ye Zhen almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth, only to feel that her throat was blocked, and immediately spurted out a mouthful of black blood in her lipstick.
Yong He and the others had already lost their minds, and they were stunned for a while before jumping up and yelling for the goddess.
After gasping for a few breaths, Ye Zhen said reluctantly, "Since the emperor has already confessed his guilt, then my Ye family will not be able to escape this disaster? What are the punishments for the thirty-two counts?"
The servant choked and said, "A single conspiracy is a capital crime of looting a family and annihilating a family, not to mention multiple crimes being punished simultaneously. Now Lord Ye and all the people involved in the case have been taken to the Heavenly Prison for trial, the Ye House is in chaos, and the servants are running , scattered and scattered, but it fell apart in a moment. When the servants came, Madam Ye was still kneeling at the gate of the palace, and I don't know if anyone would take care of her."
"Combine the family and destroy the family..." Ye Zhen repeatedly chewed these four words, and another mouthful of blood spurted out, desperately shouting, "Go to the emperor! Go to the emperor immediately! Just for the sake of saving lives. , let him spare the Ye family one last time! The Ye family will no longer dare, and Ben Gong will no longer dare, this must be the last time!"
The servant did not dare to delay, and hurried out. After receiving the news, Emperor Shengyuan hesitated for a moment, but he still entered Ganquan Palace. The two of them were lying in the tent, one breathless, and the other was sitting outside the tent with a cold face and a solemn look, and they were silent for a while.
"I heard that this is the last time?" Emperor Sheng Yuan first asked the imperial doctor to diagnose Ye Zhen's pulse, and prescribed a decoction to strengthen the heart and calm the qi. After she finished drinking, the effect of the medicine came up, and then slowly said, "Time and time again, I no longer I remember how many times."
"Your Majesty, this is really the last time. I will use the grace of saving my life in exchange for you to forgive the Ye family. From now on, is it okay for us to clear things up?" Ye Zhen's eyes were hazy with tears, and her tone was mourning. She never expected that sending a tree of coral would bring herself to such a miserable situation. What a horrible way to close the house!
"In those days, he funded the second king's rebellion and wanted to gain the merits of the dragon. This rebellion can be worth 78% of the kindness. In recent years, he didn't know how to restrain himself. Inappropriate. This crime of forming a party for selfishness can be worth one or two of the kindness, and the remaining thin and thin kindness is not enough for you to peep at the emperor's trail, so how can you save the entire Ye family?"
Peeping on the Emperor's Trail? Hearing this, Ye Zhen's liver and gallbladder were already broken, and she was terrified. It turned out that the emperor knew everything, but he didn't want to break it. If it hadn't happened to Ye Fan, she would not have suppressed Guan Suyi, and if she had not suppressed Guan Suyi, the Ye family would not have provoked the Guan family, and if they had not provoked the Guan family, everything today would not have happened, and she and the emperor still Can maintain the illusion of a deep relationship between husband and wife.
Even if she were allowed to pretend for a lifetime, even if the truth was cruel and unbearable, it would still be thousands of times better than the current situation! If the Ye family was slaughtered, how could she, Ye Zhen, have any chance of surviving? Not to mention the empress dowager, the eldest princess, and the eldest princess who hated her to the bone, even those low-ranking concubines who united could kill her.
If she hadn't squandered those kindnesses, she might have been able to live to old age in peace, be buried with the queen's ceremony when she died, and enjoy the whole nation's mourning. How noble and beautiful? But now, her life and death, the life and death of Ye's entire clan, are all between the emperor's teacher's mouth, and even more between the emperor's thoughts.
Ye Zhen has never been so regretful, and has never been so desperate. Only then did she finally understand that not everyone can be at her mercy, and not everyone can let her trample. Her power is far from being able to cover the sky with one hand.
Now, she can't do anything except stare at the emperor with mournful and hopeful eyes, and she can't even spit out a single word of defense.
Emperor Shengyuan considered for a moment, and said word by word, "I will give you one last chance. Save Ye Quanyong, and everything you have will be lost; save yourself, Ye Quanyong will surely die; how do you choose?" He wanted to see, the real Ye Quanyong What is Zhen's face
