The eyes of the group of people brought in by the Queen immediately brightened when they saw Hua Qingqing, as if they saw a ray of light in the darkness.

"Her Majesty!"

"Her Majesty!"

People shouted excitedly, the voices rising one after another.

A female general shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have betrayed us!"

"Not only have they captured you, but they have also imprisoned many ministers and generals!"

"They didn't torture you?"

After hearing what she said, Hua Qingqing realized that each of them had injuries of varying degrees.

Her face immediately turned cold.

She glared at the Master.

"You actually tortured them?"

There was disappointment in her eyes that she couldn't hide.

The wise ruler pursed his lips. In fact, he did not order the torture, but the queen made her own decision. But at this time, it was too late to say anything.

"They asked us to confess to some trumped-up charges in an attempt to frame Her Majesty the Queen..." someone shouted.

The wise ruler frowned and looked at the queen.

The queen was caught by his gaze and subconsciously took a step back.

"I didn't! It's just that they were mean and kept scolding me, so I tortured them!"

An old minister said angrily, "Witch, you want us to admit that Her Majesty the Queen has never thought of abdicating!"

"That's right, they arrested a lot of us! They asked us the same questions and tried to force us to confess!" others echoed.

When Master Ming heard this, his eyes flickered slightly but he said nothing.

Hua Qingqing saw this and looked at Master Ming's expression. Her eyes were full of disappointment.

She sighed helplessly, looked at everyone again, and her guilt was evident in her words. She said softly: "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm no longer the queen!"

"In fact, I was planning to step down and let someone else take over."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Even the wise master looked at her with disbelief.

Several people who didn't know the truth were still struggling and shouting, "No, Your Majesty, please don't abdicate!"

"This country cannot do without you!"

Hua Qingqing raised her hand, "I have made up my mind. In fact, I will issue an order on the day of the Master's birthday."

Everyone was stunned, and Master Ming was even more stunned.

Only a few loyal old officials sighed helplessly and said to everyone:

"Your Majesty is right!"

An old minister looked at the wise leader again, his eyes full of disappointment.

"Your Majesty, you are so confused! The Queen had already planned to pass the throne to you on your birthday!"

"Why are you so anxious?"

The wise master gritted his teeth, "How...how is this possible? You are teaming up to deceive me! I don't believe it!"

"Yes, that's absolutely impossible." The Queen quickly interrupted and refuted.

"If the emperor hadn't initiated a coup, how could this woman be willing to give up her position?"

"Don't think you can excuse her at this point! It's impossible."

The Queen looked at the Master again, "Your Majesty, please don't listen to their nonsense."

"They just want you to keep her, but she has been entrenched for so many years. And so many people love her."

"If you let her go this time, it will be like letting a tiger return to the mountain."

"That will definitely be the day of your death."

The wise leader was a little shaken!

An old minister was so angry that he completely disregarded his upbringing and cursed loudly.

"You witch, you are the one who deceived the Holy Heart. If it weren't for you, this wouldn't have happened to the Queen and the Crown Prince."

"Yes, it's her. She is the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country."

"If it wasn't for her, Her Majesty the Queen's smooth abdication, how could all this have happened!"

Everyone became infuriated and cursed the queen.

The queen's face became increasingly ugly.

"Shut up! You are all her people, that's why you are speaking for her..."

"Everyone knows that you are the ones who value her the most. You always treat the emperor as a child!"

"The emperor wanted to marry me as his principal wife, but you guys blocked his way in various ways."

"You just want to control the emperor."

An old man's eyes turned white with anger, "The Queen has already issued an edict, abdicating the throne and letting the Crown Prince ascend the throne."

"The edict is now behind the plaque in the Council Hall. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can go and take a look for yourself."

The Lord was stunned. His trusted eunuch ran out quickly.

Hua Qingqing stared at the queen with cold eyes, "You have a vicious mind. You kill palace maids at will and eliminate dissidents. You also confuse the wise ruler and let him frame loyal people. You can't distinguish right from wrong."

"How can you be worthy of being the queen of the country?"

The queen was furious and pointed at Hua Qingqing, "You..."

Unfortunately, as soon as she finished speaking, a piece of her finger was chopped off.

She hugged her arms and cried bitterly.

The Demon Lord said coldly, "You are seeking death by being disrespectful to Qingqing!"

"I have long disliked you."

The wise ruler was startled and quickly supported the queen. With anger in his eyes, he looked at the marshal.

"Grand Marshal, you..."

The Demon Lord looked at him coldly.

"Qingqing cares about you and says you are a wise leader! But I don't care. If you make me angry, I don't mind slaughtering your entire imperial city..."

The Master's heart sank, and he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. Only then did he remember that the other party was the Demon Lord who led the entire demon clan.

He was treated well in the past because of the Empress's favor. Thinking of this, the Lord's face turned pale.

He looked at the others again and found that everyone was looking at him with unkindness and disappointment.

Could it be that he was really wrong?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The young eunuch hurried in from outside, holding a bright yellow scroll in his hand. It should be an imperial edict.

The Master was stunned. "What did you take?"

The young eunuch quickly handed it to him, "What the old minister said is true. There really is an imperial decree to pass on the throne..."

The Lord Ming opened his eyes wide, took the imperial edict with trembling fingers and opened it.

After seeing the contents clearly, he was completely stunned.

this……

If this is the case, then everything he did is just a joke.

The queen also saw it. She snatched the imperial edict and threw it on the ground.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to them. They must be lying to you."

"And now it's like this. We can't go back."

The wise leader gritted his teeth. Indeed, the situation had come to this point and the relationship had been torn apart. There was no turning back.

The wise master made up his mind and looked at Hua Qingqing and said.

"As long as you can do what you promised me just now, I will release all these people. I will not embarrass you anymore! You can leave now."

Hua Qingqing looked at him quietly, and when he couldn't bear it anymore and turned his face away.

Hua Qingqing spoke.

"Okay, but I have one condition."

The Master frowned, "You say!"

Hua Qingqing pointed at the queen and said, "She and all her people will be driven out of the territory of Dayong and will never be allowed to enter again. Anyone who disobeys my order will be executed!"

"A wise ruler must remarry a wise queen!"
