247 “(Quick Travel) Meat Eating Journey” Chapter 246
byChapter 246 Ancient · Whoring Holy Monk (18)
Two months passed in a hurry. After the fetus in Ye Xuan’s belly was firmly seated, she announced to the court that she was pregnant.
The whole court immediately became excited. From the temple to the common people, everyone was looking forward to this child who could inherit the country. Although it was not yet known whether it was a boy or a girl, it did not prevent the political affairs hall from getting busy for this at all.Chen An found an opportunity to report to Ye Xuan: “Guan family, now that you have an heir, and the emperor’s biological father wants to give a jade ultimatum, you should ask the officials to make a decision first.”
Ye Xuan has always said that she really cannot let Huai Yan remain so unclear about her concubine’s identity.Huaiyan had decided to return to the secular world, and she had to stay with him. In this case…she made a plan in her mind and said, “I want to leave Huaiyan as my queen and dismiss the harem.”
Chen An was taken aback: “Guan, this… may not be in line with etiquette.”
“What’s the disagreement? Should I establish a queen or dismiss the harem?”
Chen An thought about it carefully and found that there was nothing treasonous about it.The emperor is a woman, but the queen is not supposed to be a man.As for disbanding the harem, Xiaozong of the previous dynasty had only Empress Zhang in his harem throughout his life. Since the official family had heirs, the courtiers were not interested in caring about how many men the emperor had.
He lowered his head and said, “I think it’s wrong. But regarding the dismissal of the harem, in my opinion, it is better to wait until the official family successfully gives birth to the emperor’s heir and appoints the queen. I don’t know what the official’s intention is.”
“That makes sense,” Ye Xuan nodded, “Let’s do it.”
After receiving the order, Chen An quickly went to arrange the matters for the ceremony after the ceremony was prepared by the Ministry of Rites.Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the former dynasty is very busy, how could the Queen Mother not know about it.When I heard that the emperor was going to make that demon monk his queen and send away the harem for that demon monk, I couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Agarwood, go ask Li Yunfeng to come over.” After Chenxiang stepped back, the Queen Mother thought carefully. The emperor had been preventing her from attacking the demon monk. It could be said that she and the demon monk were inseparable every day. However, the emperor was pregnant and his defense was relaxed, so now it was time for her to attack.Of course, she would not do it herself and let the emperor vent his anger on her.
When Chen Xiang brought Li Yunfeng over, she said softly: “Yunfeng, the officials will dismiss the harem soon. Did you know?” Li Yunfeng was shocked. Before he could speak, the Queen Mother said again, “Since you entered the palace, the officials have not favored you. If you want to take this opportunity to go home, it is also a good thing.”
After Li Yunfeng heard this, he kowtowed repeatedly: “Please have mercy on the Queen Mother. Now that I have entered the palace, I am a member of the official family. After leaving the palace, I don’t know where I can find a place to stay.”
After hearing this, the Queen Mother knew that Li Yunfeng did not want to leave. She smiled slightly and said, “Do you know why the officials want to dismiss the harem? It’s for the sake of the man in Jielanzhai. Although I feel sorry for you, but that man is in the palace all day, and even I can’t let you get ahead. For your own good, it’s better to leave the palace as soon as possible.” He said a few more words, and the meaning behind the words was that he was blocking Li Yunfeng’s way.
The Queen Mother knew very well that Li Yunfeng was stupid and had no independent opinion.She kept hammering away like this every day, and then ordered the maid she secretly arranged to be around Li Yunfeng to persuade Li Yunfeng to get rid of Huaiyan.Li Yunfeng was originally a wavering person, and he was afraid that he would no longer have the rich clothes and food he had now after leaving the palace, so he finally gave in.
He asked someone to bring poison from outside the palace. Because Huaiyan’s food was strictly guarded, he decided to poison it himself.
On this day, I was taking a nap in my room and Huai Yanben was reading outside. I heard that Mr. Li from Hanyuan Palace was here.Huaiyan had no friendship with the four young masters in the palace, but he was always kind to others. Since Li Yunfeng came, there was no reason to turn them away.Because he was afraid of disturbing Ye Xuan, he welcomed Li Yunfeng to the flower hall and asked, “Master Li, why are you here?”
Li Yunfeng laughed and said, “I’m just lonely in the palace and looking for a chat with the young master.”
After all, it turned out that they only talked about insignificant gossip, and Huai Yan also patiently kept me company.There were already Ye Xuan’s guards standing by, obeying Ye Xuan’s instructions and never leaving Huaiyan’s side.The one who came with Li Yunfeng was the nail that the Queen Mother arranged for him. Seeing this, he thought, it seems that Mr. Li will not find a chance to poison him.
Ye Xuan woke up in a daze due to the sound of people outside. The palace maid wiped her face and changed her clothes, and she went straight over to find her body.
This was the first time Li Yunfeng met Tianyan since he entered the palace. He kowtowed hurriedly and said in panic, “See you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty may live forever.”
Ye Xuan waved her hand half-heartedly: “Get up.” She walked over and sat on Huai Yan’s lap naturally, “What are you talking about?”
In the past, she and Huai Yan were together, and it was normal for her to behave like this. Now that outsiders were present, Huai Yan couldn’t help but feel her ears warm, and whispered: “The officials are like this, for fear that the common people will lose their etiquette in front of the emperor.”
“What kind of loss of etiquette?” Ye Xuan turned around and tugged on the red ear, “Whether it’s a loss of etiquette or not, it’s not up to me.”
Li Yunfeng got up from the ground and secretly glanced at the intimate man and woman in front of him. At this time, there was only two or three steps between him and Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan turned around and saw that he was standing still, and she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows in confusion.Suddenly a cold light flashed before his eyes, and he saw Li Yunfeng pull out a dagger from his sleeve and shouted: “Emperor Dog, accept your life!”
This sudden change occurred, and everyone was stunned for a moment. The surrounding guards rushed forward, but the dagger in Li Yunfeng’s hand had already been handed to Ye Xuan.The bright sharp blade in front of him was about to pierce into her chest. Huaiyan pushed her away, and with a pop, the dagger entered without its handle.
“Huai Yan…” Ye Xuan’s hands and feet became weak and she fell to the side. The guards rushed to help her, “Huai Yan…” Li Yunfeng was pressed heavily to the ground, still struggling and laughing wildly, “Huai Yan…” There was blood dripping from Huai Yan’s mouth.
He smiled, his thin lips slightly parted, and more blood immediately poured out, soaking his plain white monk’s robe.He seemed to want to speak, but he saw that the word “official” was in his mouth. He paused, and spoke an inaudible word from his thin smiling lips: “Madam…” The hand on his side dropped, and with a snap, when tears fell from Ye Xuan’s eyes, the ebony-colored beads fell to the ground.
