Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 398 Take the initiative to ask for help

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

The study room in the inner hall is very large, filled with rows of bookshelves, and the bookshelves are filled with books.

There is a brazier in the study, and a small coffee table next to the brazier.

The emperor and Huang Ye sat on either side of a small coffee table, eating melon seeds and talking.

"The matter of deposing the queen..."

The emperor took the initiative to mention the deposed queen because of what she had done in the harem over the years.

Each of these is an unforgivable sin.

Not to mention that she recently poisoned the eldest prince, which is what the emperor can't tolerate the most.

The emperor wanted the deposed queen to commit suicide so that he could report her death as illness and save her face.

This is also good for the future princess, after all, she is her daughter.

However, the deposed queen not only refused to plead guilty, she also made a big fuss in the Ministry of Punishment, saying that she wanted to see the emperor.

She would neither plead guilty nor die unless she met the emperor.

After hearing what the emperor said, Huang Ye instantly understood the deposed queen's thoughts.

The reason why the queen was deposed was to let the emperor see her miserable appearance, and then spare her life for the sake of the eldest princess.

The emperor obviously thought of this as well.

"I want to hear your opinion on the matter of deposing the empress."

Huang Ye thought to herself, what opinion could she have?

If she were to say, the deposed queen had killed Madam Yu and had harmed the eldest prince to this extent.

She deserved to die, okay?

But she couldn't say these words in front of the emperor.

She has to maintain her image as a beautiful and kind lady.

"If the deposed queen is allowed to continue to stay in Heyuan, I am afraid something bad will happen to her in the future."

The Emperor has thought about deposing the Queen many times.

"She killed Madam Yu, poisoned Concubine Lin, Concubine Yi and the eldest prince, and..."

From what the emperor said, he wanted to send the deposed queen to Heyuan, but Huang Ye didn't want to hear that.

"She has used tricks time and again to try to put me to death. Isn't this enough to sentence her to death?"

Anyway, Huang Ye never thought of letting the deposed queen go.

Just looking at the torture the eldest prince has endured over the years, the deposed queen deserves to be put to death.

"Your Majesty, if I hadn't been able to save the eldest prince, the child would have died in agony..."

"I know, I won't let her go."

The emperor was obviously angered by Huang Ye and said with a bad look on his face.

"She doesn't want to die. Isn't that normal?"

Huang Ye has put down her ladylike burden.

Now, the vicious yellow leaves are online.

"Even a beggar doesn't want to die, let alone the fact that she once lived a life of luxury."

Huang Ye curled his lips.

"I just don't believe that Your Majesty can do nothing about her."

In fact, the emperor did not think Huang Ye was vicious. Instead, he thought she was very decisive.

"If the emperor trusts me, I would like to meet the deposed queen."

Huang Ye volunteered.

The key point is that she wanted to know where the poison in the deposed queen's hand came from.

Those poisons are not something that ordinary people can make.

But she did not hide it from the emperor, she told him her thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that there is a way to get the poison in the palace..."

"Whenever you want to see her, let Xiao Yuzi take you there."

The emperor interrupted Huang Ye.

What she said was exactly what he was worried about.

"Now...I want to go there right now. I'm afraid something might happen if I delay."

Huang Ye stood up.

"Eunuch Yu, take me to see the deposed queen."

When Eunuch Yu saw the emperor nodded, he didn't say anything else and took Huang Ye directly to the Ministry of Punishment.

Department of Caution and Punishment.

With Eunuch Yu leading the way, Huang Ye entered the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment smoothly.

The dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment was indeed dark and damp.

But it was a little different from what Huang Ye had imagined before.

She used to think that there must be a lot of people imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment.

In fact, the several cells that Eunuch Yu took him through were all empty, with only the innermost cell having someone in it.

Hearing someone coming in, the man who was sitting on the ground looking at the wall turned around.

If not the deposed queen, then who could it be?

"Eunuch Yu..."

The deposed queen suddenly rushed to the prison door.

"Where's the emperor? Why can't I see the emperor?"

She looked at Huang Ye again.

"Why are you here? What are you doing here? You are here to laugh at me."

Huang Ye chuckled.

"What are you laughing at? I don't allow you to laugh."

The deposed queen found Huang Ye's smile particularly annoying and couldn't help but scold him.

"Does the deposed queen think that you are still the queen of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Huang Ye stared at the deposed queen without any courtesy.

"You still call yourself this palace. Are you still asleep... or are you saying this on purpose..."

The deposed queen's eyes shrank.

"I...I don't want to talk to you. Where's the emperor? I want to see the emperor."

"Do you think the emperor will still see you after you've done so many evil things?"

Huang Ye looked at the deposed queen curiously.

"You guys forced me into doing that. I don't admit it..."

The deposed queen shook her head and said that as long as she denied it, she had never done those things.

"Eunuch Yu, it seems like the treatment at the Ministry of Punishment is pretty good..."

Huang Ye looked at Eunuch Yu.

"I have always heard that people in the palace are afraid to go to the Ministry of Punishment."

"I heard that the methods used here can make one's life worse than death..."

"Huangpin, how dare you..."

The deposed queen screamed.

"How dare you! This is Ye Jieyu..."

Eunuch Yu scolded the deposed empress.

"She knows, she called it that on purpose..."

During this year, Huang Ye almost figured out the deposed queen's temperament.

All the concubines in the harem were thorns in her eyes.

If there was any advancement, even if she admitted it on the surface, she would be extremely dissatisfied in her heart.

This is also the reason why she framed herself in every way.

"It seems that the deposed queen is living very well in the Ministry of Punishment. No matter who comes in, they will not be willing to die under such treatment..."

Huang Ye found out after he came in that the deposed queen was imprisoned in the dungeon.

But she was neatly dressed and showed no signs of having been tortured.

"It's not because she was once the queen, and because she is the eldest princess' biological mother..."

Eunuch Yu approached Huang Ye and spoke in a low voice.

Huang Ye guessed that this was another order from the emperor.

This deposed queen is very smart. She will cling to any glimmer of hope she has.

Not to mention that she would receive such courtesy when she went to the Ministry of Punishment.

She still has to do her best.

"What a pity. This damned person will eventually die."

Huang Ye clicked her tongue. She decided to trick the woman in front of her who looked so indifferent.

At this time, Huang Ye showed the vicious smile unique to villains.

"I know that the emperor has issued an order today. Tomorrow is the day you will die."

"Nonsense... You are talking nonsense... I haven't confessed my crime... Why do you want me to die?"

The deposed queen really exploded and pulled hard on the dungeon door.

"Eunuch Yu, please ask the Emperor to let me see him."

she choked.

"I can't die, Ting'er hasn't grown up yet..."
