The queen swallowed unconsciously. She seemed to hear Qianlong's voice, and it was right behind her. But didn't she ask someone to keep an eye on the outside?

No, her people are quite loyal. If Qianlong really came, they would definitely send someone to inform her. It must be her illusion, otherwise there is no way to explain why she heard Qianlong's voice.

"Why is the Queen silent? Aren't you going to execute me? Come, let me see your courage."

The queen knelt on the ground with a pale face. She hated the palace servants guarding outside the door. If she had said a word, how could she have said those words?

Execute Qianlong? Even if she had ten times the courage, she would not dare to do so. If she had known this, she would not have come to Shoukang Palace. If she had not come, Qianlong would not have heard her true feelings.

"Your Majesty, I am not... Noble Concubine Xian, why are you here?"

She thought that only Qianlong came, and she wanted to play the victim to gain Qianlong's forgiveness, but she didn't expect that when she turned around, Mu Sili was standing next to him.

Not only that, she couldn't hide the mockery in her eyes, as if she had followed her just to laugh at her.

"Look at what the Empress said. Today is Yongji and Qianrou's full moon banquet. The Emperor wanted to come and see the Empress Dowager. I am here with you, so naturally I came along.

But I really didn't expect that you are so filial to the Queen Mother on weekdays, but treat her like this in private. The Queen Mother's sincerity towards you is in vain, it's really a waste.

Your Majesty, I shouldn't have come here today. Judging from what Your Majesty said just now, I'm afraid you are holding a grudge against me. I'd better go back first.

After much deliberation, I believe Chengqian Palace is safer. Unless absolutely necessary, I will not leave Chengqian Palace in the short term."

Qianlong was helpless. If she was really scared, she would not come no matter how much he persuaded her. Since she came, it proved that she still wanted to watch the excitement.

"Is this the time to talk about this? Since you're here, just wait for me to go back together. Queen, let me ask you, I asked you to take care of the Empress Dowager, and this is how you take care of her?

You promised me at that time that you would take good care of the Empress Dowager, and I let you take care of her because I trusted you. Now looking at you, it seems that you are doing differently than you promised.

You yourself said that you should explain to me how you abused my Empress Dowager while I was away?

Or have you already decided not to be Queen, and therefore want to vent your discontent before being deposed? Otherwise, how could you have the guts to insult the Queen Mother?

If you really don't want to sit on the throne of Queen, I can depose you now, but before that, I must seek justice for the Empress Dowager.

Come, send someone to investigate. I don't believe that no one knows what the Queen did. Remember to focus on investigating the maids around her. I believe she will know something."

The queen stared at Qianlong in amazement. What did he mean by this? Although her attitude towards the queen mother was like this now, she had indeed taken good care of her before.

He even focused on investigating her maid. Doesn't this clearly show that he doesn't trust her? If he doesn't trust her, why is he still investigating? She'll help him!

"Your Majesty, do you really want to dethrone me as Queen? Well, since you wish, I will grant your wish. However, I have one request, which is that the position of Queen must be given to Concubine Gao.

Aside from me, the only one in the palace who is qualified to become the Empress is Consort Gao. After all, she entered the palace as a Consort, so according to seniority, it should be her turn. Your Majesty, do you agree?"

The queen didn't care anymore. She knew that today's incident had made Emperor Qianlong completely disgusted with her. Since he disgusted her, he would definitely find ways to get rid of her.

If Emperor Qianlong had really heard everything she said just now, then the entire Fucha family would not be able to escape if he pursued the matter.

Since the ending has been decided, it is better to admit it honestly. I just hope that he still cares about the love between husband and wife and does not blame Fu Cha.

Although it was a bit unfair to push Concubine Gao out, Concubine Gao and Mu Sili had never gotten along before. Since they didn't get along, she would naturally go against her.

Concubine Gao's reactions in recent months have been somewhat puzzling, but it cannot be denied that she is the only one who can compete with Mu Sili.

The Queen did not know that Concubine Gao wanted to leave the palace. If she knew, she would definitely not have such a wild idea.

Mu Sili also found it a little funny when she heard this. Letting Concubine Gao take the throne to deal with her? The Queen must have gone crazy.

Since the first day she came here, Concubine Gao has become timid. How could she have the courage to go against me?

Putting aside these things, she had received some news from Li Yu that Concubine Gao was looking forward to living in the temporary palace permanently.

How could the Queen be sure that she would stay in the palace for the sake of the Queen's position when she was determined to leave the palace? Moreover, she was out of favor now, so how could she fight her?

"What are you laughing at? I'm telling you, even if the throne of Queen is no longer mine, it won't be your turn. You will never be qualified to sit on the throne of Queen."

"I don't need to be the queen. What I want is the status of the emperor's wife. As for what my official status is, I don't care."

"Wife? You are just a concubine. What makes you think you are qualified to be the emperor's wife?"

"Of course it's the confidence given by the Emperor. Your Majesty, I'm tired. This is a matter between the Emperor and the Empress, and it's not easy for me to get involved. I'll wait for you outside."

Qianlong knew that she was somewhat disgusted with this kind of scene. Since she didn't want to watch it, then she didn't have to watch it.

"Go ahead."

After Mu Sili left, Qianlong looked at the queen and gave her a cold smile.

"I was forced to marry you because of the situation, but I also had high hopes for you. But you were so cruel that you gave Li'er a sterilizing drug.

And Queen Mother, it's true that you raised me, but I can't get over that hurdle. I wanted to let you spend the rest of your life in Shoukang Palace, but you didn't cooperate.

All the disasters that Li'er has suffered are your fault. You also killed my biological mother. I am afraid I can no longer keep you. Queen, do you want Fucha to live in peace?

Before the Queen could recover from Qianlong's words, she heard a shocking secret: Qianlong was not the Queen Mother's biological son!

But before she could digest the news, Qianlong asked her to make a choice, and it was obvious that this choice would cost the Empress Dowager her life.

It was true that she could take the Empress Dowager's life, but she didn't believe that Emperor Qianlong would let her family go. She didn't want to gamble, but she had to. Today, either the Empress Dowager would die or she would die.

Given a choice, she still hopes to stay alive. As for the Queen Mother, she is an evil person anyway, so let her die.

But she had grown up. She knew that the Empress Dowager's death was ordered by Emperor Qianlong, and she would not acknowledge it.
