Wife Can't Escape

Chapter 52

It took Zhao Nanyu half a month to get rid of his injury. This half month, he requested for leave and didn't go to Dali temple.

The situation in the capital was becoming more and more serious. After the emperor woke up, the first one to be cleaned up was the queen family. Both the queen's father and brother were sent to prison, and the 10th prince, who was the queen's son, was demolished of his crown prince title.

The sixth prince had been raised by the queen since he was ten years old. According to the truth, he should also be affected this time. However, during the period when the emperor was in a coma, he was so depressed that he didn't do anything other than stay in the royal palace. He didn't even fight the forces who tried to remove his own wings.

Although the queen received several punishments, the sixth prince was given an exemption.

After a few days, the emperor seemed to have finally made up his mind and ordered his ministers to draw up an imperial edict for the queen. After hearing about this, the sixth prince knelt outside the Wenhua hall all day and pleaded for the queen in tears.

Just after noon, the old eunuch came out of the palace, and said helplessly, "Sixth highness, you'd better go back. The emperor said that there are no more people left."

The sixth prince's voice became hoarse these past few days. Even with a hoarse throat, he yelled towards the Wenhua hall, "Father, you are kind. The queen is also confused and deceived. Over the years, the queen had been sincere in treating father. Please think twice."

There was no response from the Wenhua hall.

Until evening came, the sixth prince was still kneeling at the gate of the palace. Finally, a word came out from inside the hall. It was cold at that time. The old eunuch drew his hand into his narrow sleeve and said, "Go back. The emperor went back to rest already."

The sixth prince, with a sad face, got up from the ground and patted the dust on his knees. "Thank you very much."

The sixth prince limped out of the palace. As soon as he got out, his sadness disappeared. He gave a sarcastic smile and ordered, "Go back to the residence."

"Yes."

The queen's strength had been exhausted, but even so, the queen couldn't die yet. After all, she was his mother in name. If he wanted to become a great man, he needed a mother with high status.

Although Zhao Nanyu was idle at home, he was one of the few officials promoted under these circumstances.

He was directly transferred from Dali temple to be the chief censor of the inspector's court. At first, when they heard that Zhao Nanyu was transferred to the inspection court, no one in the Zhao family could believe that he's not working in Dali temple anymore. How could he suddenly get into the emperor's eye?

Compared with other people, Zhao Nanyu was still indifferent to this promotion. His usual behavior was still the same even after being promoted. No one told Song Luan about this news.

After the family dinner this month, Song Luan also foolishly told Zhao Nanyu that the people in the second room seemed to be more polite to them than before.

Zhao Nanyu smiled and said nothing.

When it came to family dinner, Song Luan had a bitter stomach and wanted to vomit. She not only had to face the old lady's face, but also dared not stretch her chopsticks, so she didn't eat enough.

As soon as she came back from the main courtyard, she began to have a stomachache, and it seemed to be tumbling. She felt nauseated after. Zhao Nanyu gave her a mouthful of warm water and said, "Is it better?"
