The Empress' hands were steady. She slowly picked up the documents on the ground.
There was a detailed list of things, such as which opponents she had persecuted when she was young, which concubines she had caused to have miscarriages, or who she had framed.
The Empress was not afraid. Those people had long been a pile of bones buried under the palace. The Emperor might not even remember what they looked like, let alone severely punish the Empress who had accompanied him for 20 years.
It was just that her image in the Emperor's mind was shattered. The older she was, the harder it would be for her to be favored. She did not care about what happened to herself. She was only worried that the Emperor would hate her Crown Prince.
When she flipped to one of the places, the Empress' hands trembled. She saw the name.
So that was it. She wondered why the Emperor was so emotional. It turned out that he had found this.
The former Empress, her sister, the current Emperor's Empress, the woman she could not erase from the heart of the man in front of her.
"Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this?" After the extreme panic, the Empress slowly calmed down.
"What is it?" The Emperor used to admire the Empress' calm face, but now he felt that this face was so disgusting.
"Ah Le's difficult birth was not an accident? I want you to tell me personally! "The Emperor looked at the Empress with red eyes.
"Didn't Your Majesty already investigate clearly? Why do you still ask me? " The Empress gently tidied up her slightly messy hair. "Yes, it was me. I was jealous of my sister. When she gave birth, I bribed the midwife. I planned to kill both the mother and the child. I didn't expect the little one to be so lucky."
"Slap!" The Empress' face was slapped to one side.
"Vicious woman!"
The Empress suddenly laughed. "Vicious woman? Yes, I am a vicious woman! Li Lejun was the most perfect and kindest woman! But wasn't she killed by me without a sound? I became the Empress, my son became the Crown Prince, and she? Her son is still a monk in the temple! "
The Emperor trembled with anger. He looked at the woman who had accompanied him for more than 20 years and felt that he had never known her.
"Come, the Empress has a sudden illness. It is inconvenient for her to see guests. The Phoenix Palace is closed!" The Emperor left the Empress' palace without looking back.
During this period of time, the Imperial City always had a feeling that a storm was coming.
The Empress was seriously ill and refused to see any guests. The Crown Prince was under house arrest. Many people sensed that the Tianqi Dynasty was about to change.
Especially at this time, the Emperor suddenly issued an edict.
To welcome back the First Prince who had been praying for the royal family in the Hidden Dragon Temple!
In all these years, the First Prince had been an invisible person in the Imperial City. Many people had almost forgotten that he used to be the most revered Prince, but he had spent ten-some years in a poor temple.
"Has His Majesty finally figured it out?" the general asked his wife.
They all knew that the late Empress was a hurdle that the Emperor could not get over. The young husband and wife were at the peak of their love. The late Empress died at the most beautiful time, and from then on, she became a drop of cinnabar in the Emperor's heart that could not be erased.
The First Prince, Ji Yu, was undoubtedly lamentable. The Emperor blamed the late Empress' death on him and never liked him. He was the son of the first wife of the Empress Yuan. In the palace, he was even worse than a servant. In the end, the Emperor did not even want to see him and sent him to the Hidden Dragon Temple when he was young.
At that time, the general and a group of important officials had tried to dissuade the Emperor, but the Emperor was determined and there was no room for negotiation.
"That child has finally made it. These years, it has been hard on him." Wen City's Eldest Princess was also quite emotional.
