It couldn't be helped. This matter was too big. Generally speaking, it would do no good. Moreover, in this world, most people were abnormally afraid of ghosts and gods. Not many people would think that ghosts were good, regardless of what kind of person the dead was when they were alive. For the imperial court and the harem, this was not the most important thing. What was more important was that the ghost of the Imperial Noble Consort had been wandering around for more than 20 years. Who knew what she had seen? If Le Chengdi saw her, he would believe whatever she said according to his attitude towards her. By then, she would tell him some lies. Who knew how many people would suffer? Even if she didn't lie, how many of them had clean hands? Who could guarantee that the ghost hadn't seen them …?
The fact that the spirit of the Imperial Noble Consort was still alive was known by everyone because of three people. It could have been avoided. However, Le Chengdi's mind was focused on the Imperial Noble Consort at that time.
Therefore, too many people didn't want this to happen. They wanted the Imperial Noble Consort to disappear completely.
Because of all these reasons, the memorials were about to bury Le Chengdi's imperial case.
Probably everyone thought that "the law can't punish the masses". Since there were so many people, the Emperor couldn't punish all of them.
However, the few officials who truly held great power did not make any moves. The other ones who did not submit any memorials were the princes. The officials could openly oppose this matter, but they could not. If they dared to submit any memorials, they would definitely be scolded like dogs in a second and be despised. Moreover, the ones who would suffer would not only be them, but also their mother.
However, for Le Chengdi, would he give up because of the officials' opposition? Obviously not. At first, he was hesitant. Now, with so many people opposing, he became more persistent and even a little bit demonic.
He was the emperor who ruled the world. The more people opposed, the more his prestige would be swept away. How could he not be angry?
Le Chengdi directly issued an edict. At the same time, he severely punished the officials who made the most noise.
If Le Chengdi knew that so many people wanted the Imperial Noble Consort to disappear, would he regret his carelessness?
Li Hongyuan naturally knew what was going on outside, but he didn't care at all. He 'recuperated' in the Wang Mansion for three days. During this period, other than some special matters, everything else was handled by Jingwan.
Three days later, Li Hongyuan entered the palace and paid respects to Emperor Le Chengdi. He did not mention a word about the Imperial Noble Consort. Then, he went to the imperial harem. From the Empress to Imperial Noble Consort Su to Imperial Noble Consort Qin, he did not miss a single one. As for Imperial Noble Consort Wei Xian, who was she?
The Empress woke up, but she was not in good spirits. She could have recovered after a while, but she went for wool and came home shorn. She had planned to help her son ascend the throne and be the regent Empress Dowager. But now, she might not be able to live longer than Le Chengdi. For the Empress, there was probably nothing more frustrating than this.
Logically speaking, Li Hongyuan should not be able to see the Empress, but the Empress actually forced herself to see him.
The Empress did not say anything. She just looked at him with a sizing up gaze. After a long time, she finally sent Li Hongyuan away.
Li Hongyuan knew that the Empress was suspicious, but so what?
In the Jade Essence Palace, Imperial Noble Consort Su's mental state was also not very good, but she was still very happy to see Li Hongyuan. Imperial Noble Consort Su did not mention those terrible things. She expressed her concern and her worries a few days ago, but she did not dare to say anything more. Even if she was actually complaining in her heart that Li Hongyuan did not plead for her, she was afraid that she would accidentally trigger a nerve in him. In her current situation, it could be said that she needed this son very much.
Imperial Noble Consort Su still hoped to return to the past, but as a mother, she should understand that it was no longer possible when she carefully treated her son. Faced with Li Hongyuan's coldness, Imperial Noble Consort Su shed tears again. But this time, Li Hongyuan did not react at all. This caused Imperial Noble Consort Su's heart to sink to the bottom.
Because Li Hongyuan had fainted first and prayed for the Imperial Noble Consort, such a big matter naturally suppressed the matter of Princess Min Xiang. The bad influence on Prince Rui and Imperial Noble Consort Su was reduced by a lot. However, Imperial Noble Consort Su could not be righteous in front of the Imperial Noble Consort. When it came to wanting the Imperial Noble Consort to completely disappear, no one dared to be the first. Thus, Imperial Noble Consort Su's mental pressure did not decrease. Instead, it increased.
Li Hongyuan's purpose in entering the palace was actually Imperial Noble Consort Qin.
It would take at least three months to build an altar that met the requirements. If things didn't go smoothly, someone would definitely cause trouble. The area involved was too large, and Li Hongyuan couldn't guarantee that every place would be safe. Moreover, it was winter now, and some places weren't suitable for large-scale construction. As such, it was hard to say how long they would have to wait. Therefore, even if the plan went smoothly, they had to do other things. If, by the time the altar was completed, she couldn't hold on until then, that would be too much of a waste.
Without saying much, he only gave the special jade pendant to Imperial Noble Consort Qin. "I'll have to trouble Your Highness Imperial Noble Consort Qin to wear this with you at all times. This prince will see her in three days."
It took Imperial Noble Consort Qin half a beat to understand Li Hongyuan's meaning. She took the jade pendant with a faint smile. It was unknown whether it was because she hid it too well, or because she did not care that the Imperial Noble Consort had "taken over" her body. Or, it could be said that she trusted the Imperial Noble Consort very much.
Just as he left the Sweet Dew Palace, Li Hongyuan bumped into Imperial Noble Consort Wei Xian who had come to "visit" Imperial Noble Consort Qin. His eyes swept past her without any fluctuation. It was like a flower, a tree, or a wall flashing past his eyes. He did not seem to be in a hurry. His footsteps did not slow down. Maintaining the same speed, he directly left.
Imperial Noble Consort Wei Xian looked at his back that was getting smaller and smaller. She gripped her handkerchief tightly. Her expression was indescribable. If it was originally unwillingness and longing, then now it was a strong hatred. Because she was ignored, because she could not get what she wanted.
