Chapter 198: A mere queen position
The Song family has already given up on her, so why is he still so stubborn to save that vicious woman's life?
That vicious woman killed the woman he loved, and even his own flesh and blood...
Wouldn't it be better if she died?
From now on, he will no longer be controlled by that vicious woman and will no longer have to put himself in a difficult position!
Zhou Yi coughed softly with some excitement.
He is so stupid.
Why did I have such pedantic thoughts before?
He was so used to being exploited by the tigress Song that he didn't even know how to resist.
Zhou Yi had Yunniang taken away. He had already made up his mind.
Zhou Lingge is now the imperial concubine who enjoys the emperor's favor, he should not continue to offend her!
He just followed her wishes and dealt with the Song family. So what?
Anyway, this matter is not a loss for him.
The more Zhou Yi thought about it, the more excited he became. His eyes were deep, with a sharp dark light.
He didn't close his eyes that night and stayed awake almost until dawn.
Zhou Shiya has been feeling drowsy and not in good spirits these past two days.
She has been trying to find a way to rescue Mrs. Zhou.
But when she contacted the Song family, her grandfather only told her to take care of herself and not to interfere in her mother's affairs.
Zhou Shiya was extremely anxious.
Her face turned pale and she looked at Aunt Qian: "I want to go see my mother. She has been imprisoned in the Sky Prison for several days. I don't know if those people will bully her or torture her."
My mother grew up in luxury and had never experienced such suffering.
She was really afraid that her mother wouldn't be able to hold on.
Nanny Qian replied hesitantly, "His Majesty has previously issued an oral order that no one is allowed to see Madam Zhou without his permission."
Zhou Shiya's eyes were red.
She clenched her fists tightly, gritting her teeth in hatred. "Your Majesty has truly been bewitched by that bitch Zhou Lingge. How could he do such a ridiculous thing for her... My mother is a lady of high rank, a noblewoman from a wealthy family..."
Zhou Yi pushed open the palace door with a gloomy expression. He looked at Zhou Shiya coldly and warned: "Empress... please be careful with your words and actions."
Zhou Shiya stared in amazement at Zhou Yi who walked into the hall.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she choked with sobs and threw herself into Zhou Yi's arms.
"Father, why did you come to see me?"
"Woo woo, father, please find a way to save mother quickly. That damn place, the Heavenly Prison, will torture her to madness. Grandfather won't let me intervene, but as a child, how can I just stand by and watch?"
"Father, you wouldn't allow anything to happen to Mother, would you?"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but groan. Zhou Shiya's pounce directly touched the wound on his body. He pushed Zhou Shiya away impatiently.
"As the queen, could you be more dignified and reserved?"
"Over the years, you've really gone backwards. Where's the noble and dignified demeanor of a mother of a nation? Look at you now, haggard and withered... like a ghost. Which queen would make you look like such a failure?"
Zhou Shiya's heart sank suddenly.
Her father, who had always been gentle to her, now rarely started to scold her.
She clenched her fists tightly.
"I'm just worried about my mother..."
Zhou Yi endured the pain in his body and replied word by word, "I came here today to tell you. Stay quietly in Fengluan Palace and don't cause any more trouble. Otherwise, if it happens again, you will definitely lose your position as queen."
Zhou Shiya frowned. "Just stay put? What about mother? What about her?"
"Father, you should know that Mother didn't poison Zhou Lingge. It was that vicious woman, Zhou Lingge, who deliberately framed Mother. All of this was her trick... We must not compromise easily, otherwise, Mother will die."
As she spoke, she pulled Zhou Yi's sleeve with a pleading look.
"Father, please, save mother."
Zhou Yi closed his eyes and slowly shook his head, "I can't save her... The evidence that she poisoned the imperial concubine is irrefutable, and there's no evidence of suspicion. Even your grandfather was helpless, so what can I, a minister, do?"
"The most important thing now is to keep your position as queen. As for the rest... let's just wait and see."
Zhou Shiya looked at Zhou Yi in disbelief, and her heart sank instantly.
"Just wait and see? Father, are you saying... let us watch helplessly as Mother is framed and killed?"
Zhou Yi angrily interrupted Zhou Shiya: "The Emperor is behind Zhou Lingge... All under heaven belongs to the Emperor. Who can compete with the Emperor?"
"The Emperor wants to protect her and use this opportunity to help her avenge your mother's bullying of Zhou Lingge. Can't you see that? If you insist on saving your mother, you will either give up your position as Empress or your life..."
"Zhou Shiya, I want to ask you, what choice do you want to make?"
Zhou Shiya's heart suddenly sank, and she looked at Zhou Yi with a pale face.
She staggered back a few times and almost fell.
Nanny Qian supported her arm.
Zhou Yi swung his sleeves fiercely and said, "If you still want to keep your position as empress, from today on, you will stay here in Fengluan Palace and don't worry about anything. Don't ask about anything. Take good care of your pregnancy and give birth to the legitimate prince. That's the most important thing."
"Zhou Shiya... If you continue to act foolishly and fail to distinguish what is most important, I don't mind letting the Zhou family have another person as queen."
Tears suddenly filled Zhou Shiya's eyes.
She looked at Zhou Yi in disbelief, who was extremely cold-blooded and ruthless.
"Change someone else to be the queen?"
"Father, are you talking about Zhou Lingge? Just based on her... based on her lowly illegitimate birth, the daughter of a singing girl, is she qualified to be queen? Oh, father, aren't you just wishful thinking?"
Zhou Yi sneered, and his eyes were full of sarcasm when he looked at Zhou Shiya.
"Zhou Shiya, you used to be so smart, how come you've become so stupid now?"
"No matter Zhou Lingge's background, as long as the Emperor doesn't despise her, as long as he holds her dear to his heart, sooner or later he will raise her to the highest position. Do you know the look in His Majesty's eyes when he looks at Zhou Lingge? There's affection in his eyes when he looks at her, and this kind of affection... he only has for Zhou Lingge. You call yourself His Majesty's wife, but you've never walked into his heart. All these years, your five years as his queen, are not as valuable as the two months Zhou Lingge spent by his side..."
Once a man falls in love with a woman, he can't help but put everything he has in front of her and let her have whatever she wants.
What’s a mere second place?
As long as Zhou Lingge wants, as long as she has ambition.
It's just a matter of time!
Zhou Yi's words were so sharp that they were like a knife stabbing Zhou Shiya's heart.
Her heart suddenly bled.
Her legs went weak and she fell to her knees... She was extremely panicked.
She covered her ears and could no longer hold back her hysterical screams.
"Stop talking, shut up..."
