Chapter 378 (1/2)



378 Bringing honor to the ancestors (2)

After all, the head of internal affairs was very busy and could not always be by the emperor’s side.

After bidding farewell to noble Consort Chen, the old eunuch entered the southern chamber under the guidance of a Palace maid. He saw the pale-faced lang ‘er lying on the bed.

“Have you asked an Imperial physician to take a look?”

“Father-in-law, I’ve seen it. The imperial physician said it’s a brain problem and there’s no cure.”

The old eunuch stared at lang ‘er for a long time before he ordered, “”Just leave him to us.”

He ordered the guards to take away lang ‘er’s body and hurried back to report.

When he returned to Emperor yuanjing’s bedroom, the old Emperor was still sitting behind the big table laid with bright yellow silk, looking in the direction of the gate expressionlessly.

He didn’t have any reaction when he saw the old eunuch step over the threshold and enter the house.

“Your Majesty, lang. er is dead …” The old eunuch said in a low voice.

After a long, long time, Emperor Yuan jing replied with an ” mm. this Emperor, who was at the top of power and looked down on half of the sixty-year cycle, was neither happy nor sad.

………..

The next day, Emperor Yuan jing held another court meeting. The civil and military officials entered the meridian Gate in an orderly manner under the hazy sky. Some of them stopped at the square outside the throne room, while some stood on the White jade steps outside the throne room.

Only a very small portion of them entered the hall. These people, in the mouth of the storyteller, were collectively called:In the Imperial court, he looked down at the officials.

After the officials entered the hall, Emperor Yuan jing came out a quarter of an hour later and sat on his Dragon Throne.

After the official and ruler had their normal meeting, the Minister of Justice stepped out and said in a clear voice, “”Your Majesty, the three law divisions have completed the verification. The Empress is indeed the mastermind of Consort Fu’s case.

“The Shangguan family is unworthy of the title. They conspired to murder the Empress and frame the Crown Prince. Please punish them severely, Your Majesty.”

The official of the court of judicial review immediately went forward to agree.

In the hall, the officials and generals, as well as some of the nobles, all voiced their opinions.

This meant that they had already discussed and agreed yesterday that the defeatment of the Empress was not the same as the defeatment of the Crown Prince. It was a matter of national importance. Depose of the Empress was only the emperor’s family matter. As long as there was reason and evidence to prove that the Empress was indeed immoral and not that the Emperor liked the new and disliked the old, then the officials had no reason and no need to stop her.

The only problem after being crippled was the identity of the fourth prince. One must know that the fourth prince was Emperor Yuan jing’s only legitimate son, so many people placed their bets on him.

Those who didn’t have any objections were the fourth Prince’s side.

Without waiting for Emperor yuanjing to respond, Wei Yuan stepped out and the hall immediately quieted down.

Your Majesty, there’s a hidden story behind Consort Fu’s case. The Empress isn’t the mastermind. The real mastermind is Huang xiaorou. She killed Consort Fu and deceived the Crown Prince to come to Qingfeng Palace to forge this case.

As soon as Wei Yuan finished, the professional troll retorted, ”

“Nonsense, how could a mere Palace maid commit such a shocking crime? Besides, why would Huang xiaorou frame the Crown Prince? Wei Yuan, what do you take His Majesty for? what do you take the court officials for?”
