"The harem has its rules. If I forgive you, how can your heart be at ease?" Yue Ye said.

Prime Minister Bai immediately kowtowed, and said immediately: "Your Majesty is right, these palace rules cannot be thrown into chaos, my daughter has violated them and should be punished. Your subject and his daughter are both responsible and disoriented. Your majesty, please punish them in accordance with the rules of the palace! "

His tone was calm and serious, Bai Yuqi's body that was lying on the ground stiffened, and she suddenly raised her head to look at him. Annoyed, he called out, "Father …" She didn't expect her father to say such a thing. Didn't he promise to accompany her to plead with the emperor? She was suddenly at a loss as to which direction to take.

Yue Ye's expression was cold, but her heart was in shock just like Bai Yuqi, and she clenched her teeth as she stared at the extremely respectful Prime Minister Bai. He really was ruthless! He was a thousand times more ruthless than he was three years ago! He wouldn't even spare his own daughter. In order to gain power, he would rather sacrifice his own daughter.

Prime Minister Bai had already spoken, so he couldn't say anything more. He turned to Eunuch Li and asked: "Li Tu, according to the rules of the Cloud Moon Country, what crime does Consort Qi commit in poisoning the empress?"

Eunuch Li hurriedly bowed and took a step forward. He cupped his hands and replied, "Reporting to the Emperor, I'll give Bai Ling ten meters of poison or a cup of poison wine."

Hearing that, Bai Yuqi was so scared that he did not even have the strength to kneel. He lay on the ground and wailed, "No! Your majesty! "Chenqie doesn't want to die. Chenqie was instigated by Imperial Concubine Yu …" Seeing that the emperor's face had turned cold, he turned and grabbed onto his arm, begging, "Father, save our daughter, save our daughter …"

Tears rolled down her cheeks, and the rouge around her cheeks was stirred like mud by the tears, but she could not wipe them away. As long as Prime Minister Bai handed over the antidote, she could be saved, but her father, who had always doted on her, was already so heartless! This was the first time in her life that she understood the weight that she held in her father's heart. She, Bai Yining, and Bai Xue Fu were the same …

"Father …" Bai Yuqi was afraid of death, hence he could only cry and beg non-stop.

Yue Ye was in no hurry to kill her. She kept waiting for Bai Xiang's reaction. Were both her daughters not alive enough to exchange for a single antidote? He really couldn't believe it! He didn't stop, but even in this world, he was still a ruthless person. Bai Xiangguo suddenly slapped Bai Yuqi hard in the face and bellowed, "Impudent! How could the emperor allow you to cause such a ruckus in front of him?!

After receiving such a vicious palm, Bai Yuqi cried out in alarm and fell to the side. He suddenly felt that his ears were buzzing, and his eyes were like stars. She was stunned. The blood at the corner of her mouth was sweet and bloody. She finally stopped making noise due to her despair. Fearing that she would tell him the truth about the antidote, a look of pity flashed past his eyes, and in a moment, it disappeared completely.

Although Yue Ye understood very well that the antidote was in his hands, but when they didn't say it out loud, a lot of things were easy to handle. Having caused such a ruckus, it was time for a bloodthirsty slaughter.

The great hall suddenly fell into silence, everything was settled. Yue Ye felt that waiting any longer would be a waste. As such, she took in a light breath and spoke to the Prime Minister Bai, "Senior Prime Minister, on the account that your merits are not shallow and Rao Qi Fei is not dead, I shall let her repent and repent for her life in the cold palace!"

Upon hearing that he did not have to die, Bai Yuqi was instantly ecstatic, and with a "hu hu" sound, he kowtowed to express his gratitude. However, the Prime Minister Bai at the side had his eyebrows knit together. His heart was not happy at all, for he would rather die than for her! Because only the dead are the safest!

"Thank you, your majesty!" The father and daughter both thanked him for his kindness. One was wild with joy, while the other was depressed.

After Bai Yuqi was escorted away by the few inner officers, Prime Minister Bai also took its leave one after another. The hall once again quieted down. Yue Fang gently leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes in disappointment. Was his Queen hopeless after all?

"Prime Minister Bai, he really is ruthless!" Duan Wang, who had quietly walked out of the cabinet, took a deep breath and stood in the middle of the hall for a long time as he watched Prime Minister Bai leave. Clearly, he had heard everything that had just happened!

"I am very stupid. Why would I think that I can make the request to him?" Yue Ye smiled bitterly, taking a sip of the hot tea in her cup. Standing up from behind the royal table, she prepared to take a look around Jing Yang Palace. Duan Wang understood his intentions and left.

When Yue Ye arrived at Jing Yang Palace, Xue Fu was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard reading a book. On the table were various kinds of newly offered fruits and fruits. The palace maids and eunuchs greeted him. When Xue Fu heard that the Emperor had arrived, he immediately put down the books in his hands and prepared to pay his respects.

"Didn't I already say it?" Only we don't have to be polite. " Yue Ye pressed her back against the chair, picking up a grape and putting it in her mouth. A sweet feeling immediately spread between his lips. The empress, who was hugging him and eating fresh fruits, finally felt slightly more at ease. It was only when he was with her that he would not feel so depressed.

The meticulous Xue Fu still felt his worries, and asked with concern, "What happened to your majesty? Are you hurting yourself because of Yuqi? " As the head of the imperial harem, the first thing she knew was that Bai Yuqi had been beaten into the cold palace.

"Not because of her." Yue Ye lightly lifted her green, fluorene like jade fingers and played with them in her palm, sighing helplessly, what could a Bai Yuqi do to him? What he was worried about was what to do with those who were trying to create a rebellion.

Seeing that he was not willing to talk about it, Xue Fu did not ask, but obediently accompanied him to meditate under the warm sun. Perhaps sensing the heavy atmosphere, Yue Ye suddenly asked with a smile, "Is grand consort used to it at the Nanhua Temple?"

A soft and gentle breeze brushed across his face, causing the hair on his forehead to flutter. It then carried away the layer of pristine white clouds in the sky. The delicate sun became even more beautiful, like a piece of earth covering all living things.

A soft sigh came out from her lips, even her voice was extremely soft: "grand consort doesn't wish to interact with others." Because of her! She knew! Ever since she became Yue Ye's, many things had changed. grand consort who always liked him never said anything, but they could still feel that he moved to the Nanhua Temple to live in seclusion because of what happened afterwards.

"Don't sigh. grand consort has always loved peace and quiet. It is only natural that he doesn't wish to interact with others." Yue Ye hugged her, hugging her in her lap, her long and slender arms wrapped around her waist as she consoled her with a gentle voice. He knew she was blaming herself again, this kind little woman!

"Right now the situation is unstable, it is dangerous for grand consort to stay in the palace, so let's just let her stay in the temple for a while." Yue Ye spoke somewhat helplessly, the hearts of the Prime Minister Bai and the empress dowager's mansion only became more and more restless, and they didn't know when the day would come where they would raise their arms and revolt. His only worries were the grand consort and Xue Fu. Forget about the grand consort, even he wanted to send Xue Fu somewhere else.

Xue Fu more or less knew about the situation in the imperial court. After hearing what he said, she looked up at him worriedly: "The southern borders have been broken many times, what should I do?" The harem could not be used as a government office, but she was very anxious, hence she dared to ask about it in private. From what she knew, Yue Ye had always been taking action, she didn't understand what he was thinking about.

Yue Ye held her tightly, consoling her, "Tomorrow, I will send Duan Wang to personally lead the troops to the south to guard." No matter what tricks the general was playing, he would not fall into this trap. Although it was called a trap, it was actually a mistake. There wasn't such an obvious trap! The Prime Minister Bai clearly wanted Xue Fu to use the antidote to send their troops there. He would send the soldiers, but Duan Wang will personally lead the troops!

Xue Fu did not understand military affairs, so he did not continue to ask. Gently leaning on his chest, she could feel his heartbeat steady and even. Because of her, he had put himself into such a situation. It really wasn't worth it!

Unknowingly, Xue Fu, who was leaning on Yue Ye's chest, had a pair of lethargic eyes as he peacefully fell asleep. In his arms, she was sleeping soundly!

When she woke up, the sun had already set. She was lying on the bed with the dragon and phoenix embroidered on it. She turned around slightly and buried her face in the silk quilt. He could smell him. He had left it last night.

"Empress, are you awake?" "It's time to get up and have a meal." Xiang Er called out from outside the pavilion.

Xue Fu responded with a question, but he did not move. Instead, he asked, "When did the emperor leave?" She only remembered lying in his arms, wrapped in a warm, bright sun. The sun had already set, and a cold wind was blowing. A cool breeze blew into the room, stirring up the veil of the daffodils. Her figure seemed to appear and disappear within the drapes, making her seem extremely enchanting.

"The emperor left two hours ago. He was called away anxiously by the Eunuch Li." Xiang Er replied.

"What happened?" Xue Fu sat up from the bed and quickly closed the tent for her. As he helped her up, he said, "This servant doesn't know, Eunuch Li only said some important things and the Emperor left in a hurry. He even told me that I can't have dinner with the Empress tonight, so the Empress must eat well."

How could Xue Fu have the heart to eat? His entire heart was in suspense because of the 'major event' that Xiang Er mentioned. However, she could not go to the court to understand that this was not logical. In the end, he could only sigh lightly. He walked out of the Cabinet and stood at the entrance, looking at the last glimmer of light. The night was about to arrive!

After casually eating a little, because he did not have any appetite, Xue Fu ordered her people to withdraw from the dinner. Although Yue Ye did not have time to accompany her to eat, she believed that he would definitely come over at night, because he would come over almost every night.

The shadows of the candles in the room were illusory, causing Xue Fu's pale white face to darken. She had been sitting quietly by the window after dinner, playing with the zither between her fingers intentionally or unintentionally. The top-grade Sky Worm Silk String emitted the single note of a guzheng as it reverberated within the room.

Xiang Er Yun'er accompanied her to the side and advised her to rest on the bed many times, but she only stubbornly shook her head. She would wait for him, whether he came or not. She was such a stubborn person.
