Chapter 139: The Tragic Queen vs. the Deeply Affectionate Emperor (13)

"Concubine Dong, you are really calculating." The emperor smashed the cup in his hand directly on Dong Boshu's head. The cup fell to the ground due to resistance and fragments flew.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how I made you unhappy." Dong Boshu did not touch the wound on her head, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, "If I have done anything wrong, please speak up."

If he had not received the complete evidence sent by the spy, the emperor would have been deceived by this woman.

Looking at such a delicate and weak woman, how could she be so scheming that he could not tell.

"Your Majesty, Sister Dong has always been sensible and sensible in this harem. I believe that she will never do anything excessive." After finally meeting the emperor, how could Concubine Chen miss this opportunity? She rushed to defend Concubine Dong, but in fact, she wanted the emperor to notice her.

The emperor was now focused on dealing with the main criminal and had no time to deal with these two idiots who were making things difficult for others. He was still not satisfied after smashing the cup and kicked Dong Boshu again.

"Do you think everything you have done is perfect?"

"I don't know what the emperor is talking about. I was wronged." Concubine Dong fell to the ground and kowtowed again, "I hope the emperor will be discerning and not let others take advantage of the opportunity to frame me."

The emperor sneered, "Wronged? When you were in the boudoir, you were thinking about how to marry a rich and powerful husband. You plotted against me, causing the queen who was waiting at the door of the silver building to almost die. In order to enter the palace, you poisoned your elder sister to death and replaced her. After entering the palace, in order to gain favor, you formed an alliance with two fools, Concubine Chen and Concubine Wei, but secretly disguised yourself as a guard to find the queen and create a conspiracy that the queen had a secret meeting with others. Dong Boshu, Dong Boshu, your mind is more poisonous than snakes and scorpions."

"Your Majesty, I was deceived."

"Your Majesty, I was not careful enough and was deceived by the vicious Concubine Dong."

Concubine Chen and Concubine Wei were already scared to death when they heard the emperor's words, and hurriedly distanced themselves from Dong Boshu.

Chunhua Qiuyue and the two people beside them knew that they had bet on the wrong horse this time. The end would be terrible.

Dong Boshu, who wanted to defend herself, knew that struggling was futile after hearing the emperor's words.

"How did the emperor know all this?" She lowered her eyes, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

"Do you think that you disguised yourself as a guard to enter and exit the Six Times Palace, with four palace maids, Chunhua, Qiuyue, Liangchen, and Meijing to cover for you, and no one would know? It's ridiculous!" The emperor glanced at the four of them.

They hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please be wise."

Meijing wanted to clear herself, but Concubine Dong was right next to her. If she bit back, it would be even worse.

"The Queen is already unconscious, what's the point of the Emperor punishing me now?" Dong Boshu looked straight at him, mercilessly exposing his selfishness, "The Emperor is so angry now, just because he was deceived. If you had investigated so carefully at the beginning, why would the Queen have to suffer so much!"

"How dare you!" Eunuch Sheng slapped her in the face, "Little concubine, who gave you the courage to contradict the Emperor?"

"Let her speak!" The anger accumulated in the Emperor's eyes, and he had already decided not to let her go easily.

"The Emperor keeps saying that he loves the Queen, but after the Queen entered the palace, have you done anything to truly express your love?" Dong Boshu sneered, "All men in this world love beauty. As long as there is a more beautiful, talented and special one, who doesn't want to have it. You are also a man, and you can't escape it. You didn't love the Queen after she entered the palace. Because you didn't love her, you left her alone; because you didn't love her, you let her do whatever she wanted..."

"Shut up!" The Emperor kicked her in the chest.

Dong Boshu spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly wiped it with his hand. "Before I entered the palace, I was just an unfavored illegitimate daughter of the Dong family. My father took me into the harem because he liked my mother's beauty, but soon became disgusted with her after my mother lost her proud appearance. I fought for myself and chose a suitable destination for myself. What's wrong?! My elder sister always disliked me and targeted me. I was almost kicked out of the house by my father several times under her instigation. She owed me to replace her and enter the palace. And the queen, she has neither beauty nor talent. She was raised by Lord Ma Jia since she was a child. If she and the empress dowager were not from the same family, it would not be her turn to be the master of the harem."

"I didn't know there was someone like you who confuses right and wrong." The empress dowager was supported by Aunt Sura and walked into the hall.

"Welcome to the empress dowager, may the empress dowager live." Everyone in the Six Times Hall knelt down to pay tribute.

Concubine Chen and Concubine Wei hurried forward, asking the Empress Dowager to redress their grievances.

"Concubine Chen and Concubine Wei, kneel down first." The Empress Dowager sat in the main seat of the palace, not interested in talking to them at all. Instead, she talked to Dong Boshu, "Dong sinner, do you know that because of all you have done, your father will be dismissed and investigated, and your Dong family will suffer a devastating disaster?"

"Everyone says that my father Dong Wen is upright and honest, and even dares to contradict the Empress Dowager. But he listened to one side and believed it, and he couldn't even manage the harem, causing my mother and I to suffer a lot of grievances for no reason. He deserves this day." Dong Boshu felt happy, "As for the Dong family, I am just a concubine they look down on, what does their life and death have to do with me?"

"How cruel." The Empress Dowager applauded, "What about your mother? Can you watch her die?"

"Mother? She is weak and incompetent, beautiful but brainless. She was suppressed by the first lady and had no power to fight back. She could only hug me and cry every night. I was bullied by my elder sister and beaten by the first lady, but she could only shed those worthless tears. She is unworthy of being a mother." Dong Boshu said harsh words, but his tears were very sincere.

"Then you should be happy. I have sent someone to sentence your mother to death. You can meet each other on the road and keep each other company." The Queen Mother smiled very sincerely, "If you dare to touch the daughter of my Ma Jia clan, you should understand what will happen to yourself, your relatives, and your family."

"Mother is dead..." Dong Boshu collapsed to the ground.

That extremely weak woman who always cried for herself and almost broke her eyes died just like that?

"Come here, drag the criminal Dong away and put him in the prison for trial. And the four palace maids Chunhua, Qiuyue, Liangchen and Meijing, beat them to death with sticks." The empress dowager was intimidating without being angry. She had controlled the harem for more than 20 years and handled everything with ease.

"Empress dowager, what about us? What should we do?" Concubine Chen and Concubine Wei almost crawled to her feet.

"Live in seclusion in your own palace. No one is allowed to step out of the palace without my order." The emperor shook his sleeves fiercely and walked into the inner room.
