Chapter 310

The daily routine remained crude, trapped in this small heaven and earth unable to move

However, with Bai Yu accompanying her, the days in the Heavenly Prison weren’t so difficult

Cui Liu brought over food every day, sometimes bringing one or two idle books, sometimes bringing over some needlework handkerchiefs

She didn’t say much about anything, putting things down and leaving

Ling Jingshu didn’t say much either, and silently accepted the things Cuiliu sent

When she had nothing to do, she could chat with Bai Yu, read books, or do needlework

Other than not being able to go out and move around, it was not much different from the previous days in the boudoir

The second time she received a letter from Wei Yan was five days later

Ling Jingshu did not avoid Bai Yu and opened the letter in front of Bai Yu

Bai Yu had expected this, so she wasn’t surprised, and was secretly happy for Ling Jingshu

Now that she had suffered such a calamity, everyone was probably avoiding it!

But Wei Yan, instead of avoiding it, he had been taking care of Ling Jingshu in secret

This kind of heart is really touching

Ling Jingshu read the letter carefully, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and a pleasant light flashed in her eyes

Then, she brought the letter paper to the candle flame

The candle flame quickly burned out the letter paper, leaving only a thin layer of ash

Only then did Bai Yu walk over and ask in a low voice, “Miss, in his letter, did Imperial Doctor Wei mention Empress Xu?”

Ling Jingshu gave a hmmm and said in a low voice, “Yesterday, the Emperor had already issued the imperial decree to abolish the Empress, relegating Empress Xu to the status of Consort Xu, and moving back to the Jingyang Palace from the Pepper Room Hall”

The Emperor had left a few moments of mercy for Empress Xu in the end, one to cover up the scandal of her and the chamberlain, and the other to leave her with a concubine’s sub position

However, it only stopped there

Empress Xu was poured medicine, the whole body is weak, can only be paralyzed lying on the bed, no longer able to get off the couch action, the side of the waiting people are also the emperor specially “arranged”

Like a bird whose wings have been clipped, she is locked in a cage and is no longer able to break free

This kind of Empress Xu is no longer a threat to anyone

She used to be an authority in the palace, but now that she has lost her power, her fate can be imagined

The resentment and hatred that had built up in her heart had mostly dissipated with Empress Xu’s abolition and the good news that Princess Changping had been sent to the Ciyun nunnery

Although Bai Yu did not know all of Ling Jingshu’s secrets, she felt joy in her heart as she watched Ling Jingshu being so happy

When she thought of the future of the master and servant, she was worried: ”Miss, Empress Xu has been deposed, what are we going to do in the future?

The Emperor won’t take his anger out on us and keep us locked up in the Heavenly Prison all the time!”

Ling Jingshu cheered up and gave a smile, “It shouldn’t be

We’ll wait a while longer, and we might be able to get out of the Heavenly Prison soon”

Bai Yu smiled and nodded

Empress Xu’s abolition was a shocking event, both in the palace and in the court!

Those reasons in the Emperor’s decree to abolish the Empress were quite grand

However, there was no impervious wall in the world

The real reason and the inside story, or quietly in the hands of the heavy power of the nobles and ministers between the rumors

Because of Xu Qian’s murder, the Xu family had broken up with Empress Xu

The officials in the court who were originally in favor of the Yan King, many of whom knew right from wrong, quickly changed direction and cast their votes on the side of the Crown Prince

The King of Yan’s situation quickly became awkward and embarrassing

However, King Yan behaved quite frankly

In addition to attending the court every day, he went to the Purple Palace to serve his illness

After the abolition of the decree formally, Yan Wang cried a few times in front of the emperor, begging and said: “Mother made a big mistake, father abolished the mother’s position, demoted to consort position

I do not have half a complaint dissatisfaction

I only beg Father Emperor to grant me permission to visit Mother Consort at Jingyang Palace”

The Emperor watched King Yan cry in grief and sadness, and his heart did not feel good either

He was already disgusted with Empress Xu and was unwilling and would not look at her again

However, he still had a little bit of favoritism towards Yan Wang, the son he had favored since childhood

Looking at the always proud and wanton Yan Wang kneeling at the edge of the couch crying, the emperor finally softened a little, sighed: “You first stop crying, get up and talk”

King Yan heard the looseness in the Emperor’s tone and secretly rejoiced in his heart, “Yes, my son obeys the decree”

Only after wiping his tears did Yan Wang stand up with red eyes

In fact, whether or not one goes to see Empress Xu is irrelevant

What was important was to use such a move to show that he had no knowledge of the truth of Empress Xu’s abolition, and also to show his filial piety

The facts proved that King Yan’s move was correct

After a brief moment of thought, the Emperor said: ”After such an incident in Changping, your mother consort was already sick, and now I am afraid that her lingering illness is getting worse

You a piece of filial piety, want to visit, I can not stop you

This way, I allow you to visit twice a month

On the first and fifteenth day of every month, you can go to Jingyang Palace”

Yan Wang was grateful and thanked him with tears in his eyes

After accompanying the Emperor for lunch, he waited for the Emperor to fall asleep before leaving the Purple Palace

After leaving the palace, Yan Wang did not return to Yan Wang Mansion, but went to the Xu family

With King Yan’s arrival, the Xu family would not turn him away no matter what

The Duke of Xu led the Xu family to personally come out to welcome him, doing all the courtesies

Such an attitude, in itself, already showed detachment

In the past, it was not unusual for the Yan King to enter and leave the Xu family, so why would he need to do all this false window dressing?

After entering the Xu residence, King Yan and Duke Xu each sat down

Duke Xu respectfully breaks the silence, “Your Highness King Yan came to the Xu family, I wonder what is the reason for this?”

King Yan looked at Duke Xu and let out a bitter smile, “After Mother Concubine was abolished, the officials in the court are like the plague when they see me, it’s like they can’t wait to go around me

Could it be that uncle also dislikes me as a nephew and is unwilling to interact with me in the future?”

Duke Xu was dumbfounded

Xu Qian’s death had become a thorn in the Xu family’s heart

It was impossible to say that Duke Xu had no resentment in his heart

The Xu family had relied on Empress Xu to gain a foothold in the capital

Empress Xu was abolished, the Xu family is undoubtedly a big blow

In the future, they can only shrink their tails and keep their heads down

Xu Guo Gong’s heart has not tasted the idea of taking this opportunity to completely draw a line in the sand with Yan Wang

Also lest the Yan King be involved again in the future

However, I did not expect, Yan Wang so quickly on the door

Yan Wang added sincerely to the extreme, ”Eldest sister has done something wrong and has been duly punished

I have no intention of blaming uncle either

I purposely came to the Xu family today in the hope of demonstrating my sincerity and determination

I hope that uncle will forgive me and remain on my side in the future”

Duke Xu was silent for a long time before he raised his head to look at King Yan, his eyes filled with sadness, “Your Highness is too serious to say so

The old minister is now old and useless, what else can I do for Your Highness”
