Shen Jingchen did not lead the army into the palace, but after detaining several families with his strong methods, he went alone.

Fengyi stood in the snow, dyeing half of her robe. When the wind blew, she lifted up her skirt and shook off the prosperity all over the wall.

"Brother Imperial, long time no see. How are you?"

Shen Jingchen gently brushed the snow off her shoulders and said softly: "You have lost weight. You have worked hard during this period."

The two walked side by side, and he took out a piece of warm jade from his sleeve: "This is what the emperor got by chance this time. The jade is of high quality, warm in winter and cool in summer."

"Thank you, my dear brother."

Fengyi showed a very faint smile, with a bit of laziness in her tone: "They shouldn't touch the emperor brother."

During the time Shen Jingchen came to Beijing, she was not idle either, pointing her sword at officials one after another. Even the Queen Mother's mother's family was implicated and exiled three thousand miles away.

For a time, people in the capital were panicked, and they went through a complete reshuffle. The queen's party was cut to pieces by her, and corrupt officials were killed one after another.

Some people wanted to resist, but were suppressed by Emperor Mingwen's iron fist.

"There were many officials involved this time. Some of them were innocent, but they were all taken to jail."

When Emperor Mingwen paved the way for his son to gain a reputation for cruelty and let the prince ascend the throne, he used a benevolent policy to treat the ministers he imprisoned. Those ministers would become Shen Jingchen's loyal team in the future.

"Well, I heard that many ministers were robbed."

Fengyi laughed and said, "How can you say it's robbery? It's obvious that the ministers have been fighting for years and the treasury is empty, so they want to contribute a little."

Just at this time, the imperial concubine's mother-in-law's puppy passed by. When he heard what she said, he shook his head and left.

Fengyi glanced at the little yellow dog and felt a little unhappy. What did the dog mean by shaking its head?

She is just tough and tough.

She didn't even say anything, but the ministers all rushed to confess their crimes. Is it her fault?

Don’t do bad things, don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.

Look at the Taifu and the Prime Minister. They are not greedy, they have not participated in royal struggles, and they have not colluded with those aristocratic families. They have the character of a scholar all over their body, and they are not panicked at all.

Shen Jingchen burst into laughter. His sister had been smart since she was a child. She dared to love and hate. Her actions and actions seemed flamboyant, but in fact she knew better than anyone in her heart. Her heart was softer than that of other princesses and princes.

Seeing the two of them coming, Eunuch Chen walked over and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, princess, and the empress is inside. I'm afraid it's not suitable to go in now, so why not go to the side hall and wait."

The two nodded and heard crackling sounds coming from the hall, accompanied by sad laughter.

Emperor Mingwen sat above him, his face a little ugly.

Looking at the queen who was now a little crazy, she said, "I will treat you well. I will give you the dignity and respect that a queen should have. You have always made the decision on matters in the Sixth Palace. Why do you have to kill Chen'er?"

"You clearly know that with his temperament, you will still be the Queen Mother after ascending the throne, and he will still be filial to you. He can also tolerate Han'er and will never commit such a thing as fratricide."

The queen smiled sadly, wiped the tears from her eyes, and looked at the calm and handsome man above.

Although he is over forty years old, he looks like a jar of fine wine brewed over the years. He looks exceptionally calm and handsome, and his whole body is filled with imperial majesty.

"Your Majesty, have you ever had any romantic feelings for me?"

Emperor Mingwen remained silent and looked at the queen, who was usually the most particular about etiquette. Now her hairpin was crooked and her hair was a little messy.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the queen had a hint of ridicule in her eyes, trying hard to suppress the grievances she felt for many years in her heart.

"If Zheng Guogong hadn't attempted to commit a crime, and my concubine's father had saved him and led all the civil and military officials to apply for the throne, I'm afraid that the position of queen would have been vacant forever, and it would have been reserved for the late queen.

"

"I know that the late Queen and Your Majesty were childhood sweethearts, and I am no match for you, and I have never thought of quarreling with a dead person.

However, after her death, Your Majesty still couldn't come out for so long. I waited year after year, but finally I still didn't get it."

"Her son is the most noble Chen, and her daughter is Ling An, and where is my Han'er? Your Majesty, Han'er is also your flesh and blood."

Emperor Mingwen was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "I am worthy of the country, worthy of the country, worthy of the country, and worthy of the people."

"Yan Yan grew up with me and went through the most difficult period of time hand in hand with me. After all the hardships and joys, the result..."

Emperor Mingwen's eyes turned red involuntarily when he thought of the time when the late empress was still there.

His tone softened for a moment before he continued: "When the late Queen was here, she helped you, how could you be so cruel as to harm her child?

Han'er can be a king or a minister, but he is not suitable to be a king. Among all my princes, except Chen'er, he is the most outstanding."

Emperor Mingwen was really a little sad. It was not that he didn't know the queen's little actions all the time.

They had only been together for decades, and she hadn't done anything too outrageous, so I just gave him a beating. I didn't expect her to be so stubborn.

As for the third prince, although he is not as affectionate as he is to Shen Jingchen, he still has some fatherly feelings and has thought about his future and paved the way for him.

It's just that the Queen's and Shangshu's appetites are too big.

When Emperor Mingwen mentioned the past events, the queen fell silent, remembering that she had imagined her future husband in her boudoir and looked forward to her future life.

But all this was changed by the Flower Appreciation Festival that year.

That year, she took her maid with her, and the city was full of prosperity. The lights were brightly lit at night, and the red lanterns illuminated the entire capital.

She saw a young man in white clothes who was as graceful as jade, standing on a high platform holding a folding fan, his expression extremely cold, as if he was out of tune with the noisy streets.

He was able to crush the most famous literati at that time, and even made a pair that stumped the great scholars. Faced with everyone's compliments, he had no trace of pride from beginning to end. He only showed his face when he was receiving the reward of lantern riddles.

smile.

She watched silently until the other person passed by her, and then she suddenly woke up. She raised her eyes and saw that he had a gentle expression, with tiny and bright stars in his eyes, and he looked at the woman in pink beside him intently.

She watched for a long time, watching the two people talking and laughing. The lights on both sides of the street seemed to fall on the two of them, making them even more incomparable.

A gust of wind blew, and the hair of the two of them was lightly tangled, just like the envious mandarin ducks but not the immortals.

At that time, she thought how nice it would be for her future husband to be like this.

Because she was distracted, she got separated from her maid. She was pushed onto the bridge in the crowd and accidentally fell down.

Unexpectedly, she met Emperor Mingwen again. Emperor Mingwen casually rescued her and then asked his servants to send her back to his mansion.

For Emperor Mingwen, it was just a matter of effort, and he didn't even remember what the person he saved looked like.

But for the queen at that time, it was no less than a jar of fine wine mixed with poison, filled with her own girlish feelings, which made her indulge in it.
