Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 378 The eldest princess comes forward

Li Ling led the horse and just left the palace, and was about to go to the imperial city to face the Holy Emperor to receive the decree to defend against the enemy, when he met the eldest princess who had returned from Zhuangzi.

When the eldest princess saw her son, she asked, "I've heard everything. How is Shu'er? Where are you going?"

Li Ling told his mother the cause and effect of the incident. The eldest princess turned livid with anger and said coldly: "What a shameless Empress Cao. She has come to bully the children of this palace again and again. See It’s really time to have a good discussion with her when you come to this palace.”

With that said, the eldest princess got back into the carriage and headed towards the imperial city with Li Ling.

 When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the eldest princess said to her son: "Please wait here for a while until I finish arguing with them."

The eldest princess has a strong temper. The last time the King of Jin accompanied Li Ling to conquer the northwest, Empress Cao used all kinds of tricks. When the eldest princess learned about it, she was very angry. She was pressured and persuaded by the Duke of Zhenguo before she gave up. This time, Empress Cao caused trouble again. In the end, the eldest princess naturally couldn't bear it anymore.

Led by the female officer, the eldest princess came straight to Jiaofang Hall in a menacing manner. As soon as she reached the entrance of the hall, Yu Tuan'er, the personal officer beside Queen Cao, heard the news and rushed out.

Meeting the eldest princess, Yu Tuan'er hurriedly saluted, but the eldest princess didn't even look at her. She raised her head and said coldly: "Go and ask your empress to come out to see me."

Yu Tuan'er hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, the empress accidentally fell from the steps and was seriously injured. She is now unconscious. The imperial doctor is doing her best to treat her inside."

The eldest princess suddenly heard what Yu Tuan'er said, and thought that Empress Cao was guilty of not wanting to see her, so she deliberately made this excuse. She walked into the hall in disbelief, and saw the imperial doctor and all the palace people gathered inside. After working hard, the eldest princess finally believed Yu Tuan'er's words.

No matter how arrogant the eldest princess is, she will not care about a seriously ill person, but it is just impossible for her to swallow this breath alive.

The eldest princess's phoenix eyes were filled with anger. She flicked her sleeves and walked out of Jiaofang Palace, heading straight to Emperor Ming's Qinzheng Palace.

The eldest princess didn’t know that this matter was approved by Emperor Ming, but Queen Cao was his wife. She did such a disgusting thing. The eldest princess couldn’t look good to her in person, so she had to talk to her younger brother to argue with her.

As soon as the eldest princess walked out of Jiaofang Palace, she happened to meet Emperor Ming who came to visit the queen.

Although Emperor Ming didn't want to see the queen, but now that the queen was thrown and her life and death were unclear, Emperor Ming had to come and take a look, even if it was just for show.

When Emperor Ming saw the eldest sister, he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Why didn't anyone tell me when the eldest sister entered the palace?"

The eldest princess asked Emperor Ming with a cold face: "I just want to ask you, do you, the husband, know what Mr. Cao did to my daughter-in-law?"

Seeing the eldest princess's angry look, Emperor Ming couldn't dare to tell the truth. He frowned and pretended to be confused: "What is the eldest sister referring to?" Seeing that the eldest princess was about to have a fit, Emperor Ming quickly changed his expression and pretended to be stunned. : "Eldest sister is referring to the fact that the queen demoted Boyue's wife, Shen, as a concubine without authorization, right?"

Emperor Ming quickly put aside the relationship and confessed: "How do I know this? I know that the eldest sister has always valued the Shen family, how could she do such a thing? This was all done by the Cao family in a moment of confusion, and I really didn't know about it."

The eldest princess looked at Emperor Ming solemnly and snorted coldly: "I hope you have nothing to do with this matter. If I find out that this matter has nothing to do with you, I"

Before the eldest princess could finish speaking, Emperor Ming hurriedly confessed: "Hey, my good sister, can you still not trust your biological brother? I only found out about this at midnight. For this reason, I asked General Cao of Qinzheng Hall I scolded him severely, if you don’t believe me, ask Eunuch Li.”

Li Dequan hurriedly replied: "Your Royal Highness, your Majesty is telling the truth. Your Majesty did lose his temper with the Queen because of this matter, and even forced the Queen to retract her decree and come to the door in person to apologize to Mrs. Li."

Li Dequan watched her sister and brother grow up. Whenever they had disputes, she had to make peace between them. Hearing this, the eldest princess rolled her eyes at Emperor Ming and said nothing.

Emperor Ming glanced at the eldest princess's still cold face and said with a smile: "Now that the military situation is urgent, Boyue handed over the military talisman to me Zhiqi. Tell me, now is the time when I need Boyue to share my worries, so he will Now that I’ve given up my job, it’s up to me to do what I want to do.”

"Hey! These are all the faults of the Cao family. I'm so angry. Not only can this Cao family not be able to share my worries, but he actually causes trouble for me. Humph! He's not worthy of being a queen at all."

The eldest princess then spoke calmly and asked: "Then what do you plan to do with her?"

Emperor Ming glanced at Jiaofang Palace and asked Li Dequan, "Has the person woke up?"

Li Dequan replied truthfully: "The servants who just listened to the report said that the empress is still unconscious. The fall was quite heavy. The imperial doctor said that even if she wakes up, one of her legs will be disabled."

Although Emperor Ming didn't like the queen, he was a person who was easily soft-hearted. This was done after he approved Cao Cao. Now that the queen was in this state, Emperor Ming not only felt a little guilty in his heart.

The eldest princess didn't care about this. Seeing Emperor Ming's silence, she stared at her brother and asked, "What do you plan to do with the Cao family?"

Emperor Ming swallowed his saliva, sighed and said: "If I am afraid of causing trouble if I depose her, it is better to do this. I will deprive her of the power of the palace, and ban her from the Jiaofang Palace for three months and fine her for one year." , okay?"

Chao is a queen, so this kind of punishment is already very severe.

When the eldest princess heard this, her face finally softened a little, and she replied calmly: "Then I'll do what you said."

As she said that, she rolled her eyes in the direction of Jiaofang Palace and said coldly: "When she wakes up, tell her that if she dares to touch my children again in the future, I will never tolerate her again. "

Emperor Ming said yes repeatedly, and then said anxiously: "Sister, there is chaos in the south and north now. We are really in a hurry. Boyue, this boy, is still angry with me. I have already dealt with the Cao family. How about you help me persuade him?" Advise Boyo.”

The eldest princess glanced at her younger brother and said coldly: "Boyo has a bad temper. I can't help you with this matter."

With that said, the eldest princess turned around and left the palace.

Emperor Ming grabbed the eldest princess and said with a mournful face: "Sister, now that Hangu Pass has been lost and the Huns are causing trouble in the north, I am very worried. Do you really want to watch Daqi's country being trampled by the enemy?"

Hearing this, the eldest princess sneered and said, "Don't you still have your precious son King Jin? Last time he fought with Boyue to quell the rebellion in the northwest, and he made great achievements in battle. Why not let him defend the enemy?"

Emperor Ming said with a drooped face: "He is still young, how can he compare with Bo Yue?"

The eldest princess snorted coldly: "I think you are reluctant to part with your son, right?"

"You are reluctant to let your children fight in the battlefield, how can I be willing to part with my own flesh and blood?"
