Chapter 151 The Emperor was forced to abdicate
Leng Jiuyuan stopped him: "Although he is my father, he is also the emperor. If the emperor wants his subjects to die, they must die."
"That doesn't make sense. You didn't do anything wrong, so you can't be punished." Ye Qingyan retorted.
When I walked out of the Ministry of Punishment, I saw the third prince being brought in.
Ye Qingyan looked smug and taunted, "Third Prince, no, how could I have forgotten that you have been demoted to a commoner.
Regarding the dragon robe incident, I never thought that it was you who framed Prince Zhan's Mansion.
Now that the matter has been clarified, I heard that you will be locked up here for life.
The emperor said that you will never be able to leave. If I were you, I would rather die than live in disgrace.
Do you think this is what you deserve, or is it just a case of losing more than you gain? Serves you right!
The third prince lowered his head, knowing that his life was over.
Ye Qingyan and Leng Jiuyuan went to the emperor to seek an explanation.
The third prince looked haggard, and he thought about Ye Qingyan's words as he walked.
He finally realized that it would be better to die than to be locked up in a cell for the rest of his life.
He drew out the guard's sword and stabbed himself in the heart, dying instantly.

imperial study room
After the Queen and Ye Qingyan left, Leng Aotian was so angry that he immediately threw the teacup to the ground.
"Such a good opportunity, clearly enough to kill them, but they slipped away. I'm so angry."
Qin Wuyi had been hiding in the toilet, knowing that the emperor would be furious.
He returned to his room, ate half a bowl of croton, got ready, and went to the imperial study.
Emperor Xuancheng glared at him and said, "Qin Wuyi, where did you go just now?
You disappeared at the critical moment, ruining my good cards."
Qin Wuyi looked aggrieved: "Your Majesty, I seem to have a stomachache, so I need to go to the bathroom.
The matter was urgent, and I was afraid of delaying the important work, so I asked Xiao Xizi to deliver the dragon robe."
Leng Aotian looked at him coldly: "You old fox, have you escaped, or do you want to help Lao Jiu?"
Qin Wuyi knelt down and explained: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I really need to go to the bathroom."
"Why did the Queen arrive at that time, not earlier or later?
Now that they are here, how can I change the two old clothes in the box into dragon robes? "
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! The guards and eunuchs in the courtyard all saw me not leave the courtyard at all. I really don't know why the Queen came here."
Then there were two "Puff" sounds, and Qin Wuyi looked at Leng Aotian awkwardly: "Your Majesty, this old servant still has to go to the toilet."
Another "puff puff puff", and suddenly the house was filled with a stench that made people feel sick.
"Go quickly!" The emperor couldn't stand it anymore, he covered his nose with one hand and shouted.
Qin Wuyi ran to the toilet without even having time to close the door.
Leng Aotian couldn't stand it anymore and went straight to the East Warm Pavilion.
He smelled his clothes and they still smelled bad.
He kept muttering, "If you have a stomachache, don't show up in front of me. You'll stink everywhere."
Qin Wuyi also tried his best. In order to avoid suspicion, he basically lived in the toilet that day.
Ye Qingyan and Leng Jiuyuan came to the courtyard of the bedroom. The guards and eunuchs in the courtyard felt distressed when they saw Leng Jiuyuan was beaten to a pulp.
Ye Qingyan asked, "Eunuch, is the emperor here?"
"The Emperor is in the East Warm Pavilion. Please follow me down."
The young eunuch came to the East Warm Pavilion first, "Your Majesty, Prince Zhan and Princess Zhan request an audience."
Emperor Xuancheng's face was filled with anger: "What are they doing here? I won't see them!"
"Is the emperor afraid of seeing us?" Ye Qingyan didn't wait for the emperor's consent and supported Leng Jiuyuan directly to the warm room.
The two did not kneel. Ye Qingyan spoke up, "Your Majesty, you need to give me an explanation as to why our prince was thrown into the Ministry of Punishment and now beaten to a pulp."
Emperor Xuancheng felt very nervous at this time, as if he had been caught cheating.
He had heard that Xiao Qi was not a pushover, but in the palace, she wouldn't dare to do anything!
Leng Aotian pretended to be very concerned about Zhan Wang: "Jiuyuan, who beat you like this?"
Ye Qingyan said directly: "Someone from the Ministry of Punishment."
"The Chief of the Ministry of Punishment is so bold that he even dares to hit my own son.
Come, take the Chief of the Prudence Department and all those who executed the War King and throw them into the prison and execute them in the autumn."
The young eunuch in the room walked out.
"Your Majesty, let's not speak in secret.
The third prince falsely accused Prince Zhan of hiding the dragon robe in his mansion. The emperor sent people to search, but found no dragon robe at all.
The War King was beaten for no reason, and his injuries will take more than two months to heal.
Our palace is poor and we don't have the money for medicine. Your Majesty, it's better to keep him in the palace for treatment. After all, we still have the Imperial Hospital."
When the emperor heard this, he realized that Xiaoqi was not a good person and it was obvious that he was here to ask for money.
He was indeed somewhat at fault in this matter.
He took out ten silver notes from a silver-locked drawer and said, "This is twenty thousand taels of silver. Take it back and treat Lao Jiu's injury."
Ye Qingyan stepped forward, took the banknote and put it in her sleeve.
"Your Majesty, the box seized from Prince Zhan's mansion contained two women's old clothes, but the eunuch brought back two dragon robes.
If the Queen Mother had not come, what would be found in Prince Zhan's Mansion would be two dragon robes, and then the entire family of Prince Zhan's Mansion could be executed.
Even I, a princess who just got married a day ago, will be beheaded, am I right?"
Emperor Xuancheng seemed to have been caught in the act and did not dare to answer.
Ye Qingyan was ready to tear her face off with Leng Aotian at this moment. She spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Your Majesty, you have always regarded Prince Zhan as a thorn in your side, and you are afraid that he will rebel.
In fact, you misunderstood him. He never had that intention."
Ye Qingyan waved her hand and came to the frontier with Emperor Xuancheng, where the sky was full of yellow sand.
"I'm in the East Warm Pavilion, why am I here?"
"I used my magic power to bring you here. You forced me to do all this.
Jiuyuan has a good temper. If it were me, I would have rebelled long ago.
You must have heard the saying, "When officials force the people to rebel, the people have no choice but to rebel. You are trapped here!"
The emperor was so scared that he was sweating profusely. He didn't want to die here.
"Your Majesty, Prince Zhan has no interest in the throne at all. It is you who imagines him as a usurper.
Let me ask you this: do you want to be the emperor emeritus, or do you want to go to the underworld and meet the emperor emeritus?"
Leng Aotian suddenly seemed to have aged a lot, and he was no match for the Lao Jiu couple.
"Xiao Qi, can you allow the prince to ascend the throne?"
“We have no interest in the throne, so of course the prince must ascend the throne.
But you must remember that it is easier for me to kill you than to crush an ant.
From now on, you go your way and I go mine.
If you try to play tricks, I won't be able to blow up even one of your palaces. I'll kill you straight away."
Emperor Xuancheng, who has always been arrogant, wants to survive. He is afraid of death and he doesn't want to die.
"I will be the emperor emeritus, and I will never cause trouble for Old Nine again."
Ye Qingyan waved her hand and the two returned to the East Warm Pavilion.
Ye Qingyan looked at Leng Jiuyuan and said, "Your Majesty, remember what you said, otherwise we will have to go to the frontier. Jiuyuan, let's go!"
Ye Qingyan waved her hand and the two disappeared.
Leng Aotian sat down on the ground, his eyes dull...
Emperor Xuancheng thought that he would use his serious illness as an excuse to let the crown prince ascend the throne, and he would become the emperor emeritus, and the queen would become the empress dowager.
