Chapter 400: Father-son Confrontation
Jun Yushou also did not give in and immediately replied, "Mother Queen? My mother has passed away for more than ten years! Father, do you scold me so much to make it difficult for her to close her eyes under the nine springs?
"You! You...you..." It seemed that the emperor would hit himself so blatantly, and the emperor's fingertips trembled, but he didn't say the rest of the words. He turned around in Jun Yu's hateful eyes, but said to Zichu, "I knew you were a disaster that day, but I didn't expect that now you can still harm the royal family! I really regret that I didn't get rid of you at the beginning, so that now that my two sons still have to protect you like my life!"
After the emperor finished speaking, the corners of his eyes glanced at the deceased Empress Dowager Nalan in the hall, and the hatred in his heart gradually rose. Seeing him approaching Chao Zichu step by step, Ye Heminglu quickly got up to protect each other, but the emperor forced her and said, "Ye Heminglu, I know that you are not afraid of any national laws and family rules. But now you are different from the past. Even if you don't care about the so-called princess status, I think you will seriously weigh the life and death of your husband's family and your mother's life and death!"
When Ye Heming heard the words, his heart was cold, and he only gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down your anger. Even if you are angry now, please look at the child in Princess Ding's womb and think that she is the mother of your grandson. Please be kind!"
"Father! Please don't embarrass your son. Do you still remember that if you hadn't persuaded me with the throne, I would have chosen to stay with her for a lifetime. Since I have made a choice at the beginning, I will remember my responsibility. Since I ascended the throne, I have asked myself to be conscientious and have lived up to your expectations. But now, if you want to bring up the old story and return the death of Nalan Liancheng to Zichu, then even if I bear the name of unfiliality, I will never sit idly by!"
Seeing Jun Yushuang standing in front of Zichu, he looked nervous and awe-inspily, and unexpectedly held up with the emperor without shrinking.
Queen Zhang's heart was like a five-flavor bottle. She struggled to endure for a long time before she said sarcastically, "Your Majesty, you claim to be a wise king for thousands of years, but how can you be calm and wise as you should be in your behavior now? Not to mention that Song Zichu is now a princess. In the eyes of the world, she is your own sister-in-law. Even if her father wants to question her, her husband will come forward to defend her. What is your pity for jade? Is it the old love that is unforgettable, or..."
"Enough! Queen! I still remember that your current identity is my queen! But if you forget, I can also use my own way to make you remember again, how about it?
Being scolded by Jun Yusultum, Empress Zhang also sneered. She stood with Junyu for a moment without fear, and finally said coldly, "Your Majesty, you still remember that my concubine is the queen you are marrying by the media. May I ask the emperor, in your heart, have you ever really regarded my concubine as your wife?"
"Queen, are you teaching me a lesson? Or do you want to ask me for the truth? In this case, I will tell you the truth. Yes, I have never liked you or regarded you as my wife. I married you just because you are a daughter of the Zhang family. What's more, you are the crown princess chosen by your father for me! But now you only need to remember one thing, that is, your life and death, honor and disgrace, are in my mind. I don't know how much you participated in today, but if you want to blame Zichu for the crime of murdering Nalan Liancheng, I will let you know what regret is!"
"Don't regret it? Your Majesty, haven't you forgotten? My concubine's heart has already suffered thousands of times in the oil pan! Regretful, the most regretful thing for my concubine is to tie all my heart to you, the emperor! Otherwise, how can my concubine fall to this point and can only pray for your joys and sorrows to live?
Seeing that the emperor and the queen quarreled in front of themselves at the beginning, the irritation in the emperor's heart added a little more. Turning around, when he saw Zichu kneeling with Jun Yuchen, but did not say anything and argued for himself, he suddenly felt cold and came over.
Zichu saw the emperor coming by himself and knew that he must have nothing good to say, but he was not only the emperor, but also his father-in-law and husband's father. Moreover, he had many complaints about himself after witnessing his wife's death. Therefore, she just lowered her eyes slightly and was ready to bear it silently.
I just didn't expect that at this time, Jun Yuchen, who had been kneeling on the ground like a puppet, got up and stood in front of Zichu and said in a trembling voice, "Father! It's none of her business!"
Seeing this, the emperor changed his color again and said angrily, "Chen'er! Do you know what you are talking about? Your mother went there like this. She is the queen who gave birth to you and raised your biological mother! As the child she gave birth to in October, how can you abandon her fertility and upbring feelings because of a woman? You..."
"Father! I will never forget my mother's birth and support, but I believe that she will never do such a vicious thing at the beginning. She is the wife chosen by the minister, the mother of the child, or the father and your daughter-in-law. Father, I beg you to find out the truth and don't make a judgment easily!"
Hearing this, the emperor only choked in his throat without words. He took a gloomy look at Zichu, and then at his eldest son Jun Yushou, who stared at him. Finally, his eyes stayed on the silent Empress Dowager Nalan's veil. After a long time, he said to Jun Yuchen, "Chener, you'd better remember what you said today, and don't regret it again!"
"Father, please rest assured that I will..."
Jun Yuchen's words were not finished, and the emperor had already left. Leaving three couples with different expressions in the hall, Ye Heming came forward and said to Jun Yuchen, "Zi Chu has suffered such a great grievance. You'd better accompany her back to the Magnolia Palace to rest first!" With us here and the people left by the emperor, there will definitely be no mistakes.
Jun Yuchen looked at Zichu, and Zichu saw a kind of pain and sadness from his eyes that had never been seen before. It seems that in such a short hour or two, the handsome and humble gentleman I used to know has become another person because of sadness.
But the good thing is that he still has himself in his eyes, and he still remembers what he made to himself. At the last moment, he stood up to protect himself. Thinking of this, there was a warm current in Zichu's heart, endured tears for half a day, and finally broke out of the embankment. He threw himself into his arms and choked, "Yujiu, I know you must be sad now. I only hate myself and can't share it for you. One or two..."
Jun Yuchen hugged her back and shook his head slowly, "Zichu, I'm fine, it's okay... Don't worry, I'm just here to stay with my mother. You are pregnant and don't stay here. Minglu, please help me send my son for the first time..."
"No! I don't want to go back! I'm here to accompany you, Yujiu, don't drive me away..."
Seeing Zichu crying with pear blossoms with rain, he choked and was out of breath. Jun Yu also frowned and said, "Zichou, you and Minglu, go back to rest first. I and my ninth brother should keep filial piety, and this bedroom should also be sealed. What an inconvenience it is for you here."
Hearing this, Ye Heminglu also said, "Yes, Zichu, you should take care of your body and don't be capricious. We mothers all have to think about our children. And you have experienced great sadness and injury today, and it will be safe to let the imperial doctor come and have a look later. Come on, I'll go back with you first!"
Seeing that everyone persuaded him to leave, Zichu knew that this was the emperor who wanted her to leave Yihe Palace immediately. He didn't want her to have contact with Yujiu again, let alone that she had a chance to destroy the scene.
However, when she thought of Jun Yuchen's current situation, she felt heartbroken. She lost her beloved biological mother, and her wife was charged with murdering her mother... In one night, the sky collapsed and the building was completely covered...
And the whole palace is indifferent and cruel to him. He is full of grief and sadness, but who can he talk to?
There is no one!
And at this time, she can't even accompany him!
Seeing Zichu's thoughts, Ye Heming frowned. In a blink of an eye, he saw the emperor next to him looking at Zichu quietly. Obviously, he didn't leave until Zichu left. Outside the hall, the emperor also stared closely at the people in the hall.
Ye Heming sighed and knew that there could be no longer delay. He hurried forward to hold Zichu's hand, wine at her, and then said, "Zichu, listen to my advice. Let's go back first!"
Looking at Ye Heminglu's pleading and serious look, and then looking at the emperor's deep scrutiny eyes, Zichu knew that it was impossible for him to stay. Or, as a wife, the only thing she can do for Jun Yuchen now is to listen to him and not let him be distracted.
She could only bite her lips, move her weak footsteps, take Ye Heminglu's hand, and slowly walk towards Yi and the outside of the palace.
When she walked to the door of the palace, she suddenly heard someone whisper, "Princess, don't worry, I will take care of the prince!"
Turning his head, it was Jiang Jiantao standing at the door of the palace. Although he lowered his head, his voice clearly came to Zichu and Ye Heminglu's ears, as calm and heavy as before, "You go back first. If there is any news, I will find a way to pass it on to you!"
In the last sentence, the voice was so low that only the child next to him could hear it.
Quickly glanced at Jiang Jiantao's appearance. Zichu was finally slightly relieved, gritted his teeth, followed Ye Heming, and left Yihe Palace.
Following Ye Heminglu out of Yihe Palace, Zichu finally couldn't help crying. Ye Heming sighed, took her into his arms, patted her gently on the shoulder, and comforted her in a low voice.
