Chapter 216: The Empress Deposed in the Cold Palace (6)
Soon, the director of the Imperial Observatory arrived.
The moment the director of the Imperial Observatory saw the dog emperor lying in bed, his face turned pale and sweat poured down.
"Your Majesty, last night was a warning from heaven! If we don't get rid of that Mars, Daqian will be in danger!" He said, kneeling on the ground in fear.
"I already know who that Yinghuoxing is!"
The dog emperor said weakly, "I originally wanted to drive her out of the palace last night, but as soon as I thought of it, I did this! My dear, you have to think of a way for me!"
"Your Majesty, I..." The director of the Imperial Observatory was just about to speak when the voice of the young eunuch came from outside.
The Queen Mother came after hearing the news!
"My son, how are you? Are you okay?" The Queen Mother quickly came to the bedside and checked on the Dog Emperor's condition.
Then she glared at Su Li and asked, "How do you take care of His Majesty?"
Su Li pretended to be wronged, wiped her tears and whispered, "Queen Mother, this matter has nothing to do with me!
Yesterday, His Majesty went to Chuxiu Palace, and then a rock from the sky hit the side hall, and then a fire broke out in Weiyang Palace. His Majesty looked bad when he came over, so I helped him to sleep, but I didn’t expect that when I woke up today…”
"Chuxiu Palace?" The Queen Mother frowned slightly and looked around. "Where is the imperial physician? Why is there no imperial physician accompanying you?"
"Mother, I asked the imperial physician to leave!"
The dog emperor stopped the queen mother and said, "My son is fine, but I have been disturbed by the celestial phenomena recently. I am discussing a solution with the supervisor!"
"It's Mars guarding the heart, right? Does your son already know who Mars is?" the Queen Mother asked worriedly.
"Well, I have roughly guessed it. It is the woman Xia Yingyue that I brought back!"
The dog emperor said weakly, "This is why I didn't confer the title on her before. I just didn't expect that she could harm me so badly!"
"I said that women of unknown origin must not be brought into the harem! What are you going to do now?" The Queen Mother sighed.
"Jian Zheng, tell me. How can we solve the problem of Mars guarding the heart? How about sending her out of the palace?" The Dog Emperor felt reluctant when he thought of Xia Yingyue's face that looked so similar to his late queen.
The Supervisor saw the dog emperor's dilemma, thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we send the woman to the royal temple to pray for blessings and let the Buddha save her soul? What do you think?"
"Royal temple?" The Dog Emperor thought about it and felt that this method was feasible.
He was reluctant to kill her, but also unwilling to let her leave the palace to be with other men, so this was the only option!
Upon learning that she was going to be sent outside the palace to pray for blessings, Xia Yingyue ignored everyone's obstruction and broke into Changle Palace!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You can't do this to me! You said that I'm the only one in your heart in this life!"
Xia Yingyue, with her messy wig and tears on her face, cried in front of the Dog Emperor.
"Are you Xia Yingyue?" The Queen Mother was startled by her sudden intrusion. "Who let you in? Get out now!"
"Wait!" Su Li curled his lips, knowing that it was his turn to go on stage.
She slowly walked up to Xia Yingyue and said, "Xia Yingyue? Are you from the Xia family? Who is the late Queen Xia Jiuyue to you? You look too similar to her. I guess you deliberately came to get close to His Majesty, right?"
"Shen Langhuan! Was it you? Was it you who instigated His Majesty to let me leave the palace? Tell me, was it you?"
Xia Yingyue was furious. She had forgotten that she was just a skinny woman who had not been canonized, and not the empress who was superior to Shen Langhuan!
Su Li narrowed his eyes and looked at her quietly.
Instead, the Queen Mother at the side began to wonder, "That's right, tell me, who are you? Why do you want to get close to the Emperor? What is your purpose?"
Xia Yingyue finally reacted. She looked at the Queen Mother with a weak face, "Queen Mother, I am just a commoner girl from Jiangnan. I was lucky enough to be chosen by Your Majesty and brought back to the palace. I have no other purpose. I just want to stay with Your Majesty for the rest of my life!"
"How dare you, a commoner, keep talking like that in front of me!" The empress dowager thought of some bad memories when she saw her face.
Even the royal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can have their dirty moments.
"I, the common people, the common people's daughter, the common people's daughter is just a slip of the tongue..." Xia Yingyue forced herself to change her self-introduction.
"You just offended me and the Queen Mother. Come, give you twenty slaps in the face!" Su Li ordered Qingyu who was standing aside.
"Shen Langhuan, do you dare?" Xia Yingyue retorted again instinctively without thinking.
Then she reacted and looked at the dog emperor on the bed, "Your Majesty, are you going to let your queen bully me?"
"Yue'er, stay away from me, I..." The Dog Emperor felt uncomfortable when he thought that she was the Mars.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what you said to me? You said that love will last forever and you would love your beloved wife under the flowers and the moon! Have you forgotten?" Xia Yingyue looked at him with tears in her eyes.
These are two lines from a love poem that the Dog Emperor once gave her, and they are also her favorite.
"You, you are Yue'er?" The Dog Emperor stared at her with wide eyes, "Is it really you?"
"Your Majesty, it's me! I'm your Yue'er! I'm back! I can't bear to part with our past. I want to stay with you until we grow old!"
Xia Yingyue looked at the Dog Emperor with tearful eyes, her eyes full of affection.
The Queen Mother frowned slightly and looked at the maid beside her, "Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear what the Queen said?"
Upon hearing this, Qingyu ordered the maid in Changle Palace to execute Xia Yingyue!
"Your Majesty, save me! Your Majesty!" Xia Yingyue, who was dragged off the bed, pleaded with the Dog Emperor.
The Dog Emperor stretched out his hand to stop him, but after a moment of thought, he put his hand down.
"what!!"
Xia Yingyue was held down on the shoulders by two palace maids and received twenty slaps in the face, which left blood at the corners of her mouth and her cheeks red and swollen.
Only after the beating was over did the dog emperor speak, "Mother, the punishment has been served, you should go back and have a rest!"
The Queen Mother glanced at the Dog Emperor and Xia Yingyue, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, and then slowly stood up, "Okay, Your Majesty, I am tired too! This matter of Mars must be handled properly, otherwise the Great Qian Empire will be over!"
"Mother, I know!" the Dog Emperor responded in a low voice.
After the Queen Mother left, he looked at the Director of the Imperial Observatory and asked, "What if we don't send her out of the palace? How about letting her find an abandoned palace in the palace to pray for blessings?"
The director of the Imperial Observatory saw that the dog emperor was reluctant to let Xia Yingyue go, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "It's best to send her away, but if Your Majesty wants to keep her in the palace, you must find a suitable palace and let the master perform a ritual outside her palace!"
"Okay, then let's do as you said. First, find a palace to send her there, and then arrange for a master from the royal temple to come and perform a ritual!" The Dog Emperor waved his hand and asked the director of the Imperial Observatory and the chief eunuch to go down and make arrangements.
He fell asleep due to pain and fatigue.
