Chapter 429: Abolition of the Queen's Position and Revealing the True Identity
Xie Yuheng thought about himself, what if he was not his father and mother's biological son.
If he were to face his mother's disapproval and resentment, he would go crazy just thinking about it.
The old emperor's eyes suddenly widened.
It's not this little bastard, he is trying to persuade his mother to have pity on the son of a Northern Qi thief.
The old emperor didn't feel much, after all, he had no companionship and no feelings for this bastard.
All I have is a heart full of hatred.
Concubine Hui closed her eyes, and a line of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
"You are not my prince...so don't call me mother anymore."
Xie Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Concubine Hui still cared about the mother-son relationship between her and the Third Prince over the years.
She did not think that the Third Prince was not her real child, so she called for the Third Prince to be killed.
The third prince suddenly collapsed to the ground.
He covered his face and suddenly burst into tears.
“Why…why is it like this…”
"Why am I not my mother's child...why?"
"Mother, don't you want the child anymore? Mother, don't you want me anymore..."
"This can't be true... This can't be true... I must be dreaming... I must be dreaming..."
He cried and buried his head between his legs, his whole body shaking.
The crying was so sad that everyone around her couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
"Mother..."
The third prince shouted and then fell silent.
Just now, my mother said that he is not her child and he is not allowed to call her mother anymore.
He can no longer call her mother.
"Royal Concubine..." The Third Prince's words of "Royal Concubine" revealed endless sorrow...
Concubine Hui couldn't bear it and said:
"You and I are mother and son. I...consider that you are also unaware of this..."
"Noble Concubine!" the old emperor called out majestically.
Concubine Hui turned and looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please spare him."
"Just demote him to a commoner, okay?"
"Just consider it as accumulating blessings for our prince, okay?"
"Sister Noble Concubine is truly kindhearted. She can even show mercy to a bastard who has occupied her own son's place for over ten years."
"If you don't know, you'd think this bastard was born from my sister and the Northern Qi thief!"
The queen, who was restrained by the guards, couldn't help but sneer.
She hated the emperor's unlimited favor for Concubine Hui.
"Shut up!" the old emperor shouted angrily.
He looked at the queen with cold eyes.
"The Imperial Concubine is kindhearted, unlike you, a vicious woman who would even exchange her own child for another."
"You're so cruel to the child we exchanged with. You're as venomous as a scorpion. You did something vile yourself, and you think the same of others!"
"I hereby declare that the Empress has violated the moral code, corrupted the royal bloodline, formed a clique for personal gain, and colluded with the enemy for treason, endangering the Southern Chu Empire. She is unworthy of the position of Empress and has been demoted to a commoner. She will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for all her crimes."
The old emperor did not execute the queen immediately.
She couldn't die now.
Upon hearing this, the queen became furious.
"You can't do this to me, you can't!"
"I replaced the child because you favored that bitch Wu.
In order to save my son's life, I will reluctantly replace her with the daughter of a minister."
"You keep accusing me of forming a clique in the court for personal gain. May I ask, Your Majesty, with whom have I been in contact?"
"Haha... You said I was collaborating with the enemy and betraying my country. How could I possibly be so close to the prince of Northern Qi?"
"It's just that they colluded and conspired to kill me."
"You believe the words of a Northern Qi thief!"
"Your Majesty is just trying to use this as an excuse to get rid of me!"
"After all, it was I who blocked the path of the Emperor's beloved woman!"
The queen is still quibbling and trying to confuse everyone.
At this time Pang Qingyun stepped out and said:
"I want to report the Queen for forming a clique and engaging in private activities."
The queen almost vomited blood.
"Pang Qingyun, you can't tell the difference between family and friends. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to face your parents after you die?"
Now that the queen is no longer the queen, Pang Qingyun directly said:
"If I continue to protect you, I will be too ashamed to face my parents a hundred years from now!"
Just now, everyone thought that even if something happened to the queen, she would not be actually executed.
After all, there are still the Grand Tutor and the Crown Prince.
But now the Grand Tutor has drawn his sword against the Empress.
It's even more intense than what happened in the inner hall just now.
"Pang Qingyun!!" The queen looked at Pang Qingyun with gritted teeth.
"Zhang, what do you want me to do?" He believed in the emperor. Once the emperor had a falling out with this fake, what happened in the palace today would never be spread out.
He was not afraid that his younger sister who was far away in Yunzhou would be implicated.
The queen was stunned, her clenched fists shaking.
He knows!
Pang Qingyun knows everything!
No wonder, no wonder he was so aggressive towards her in the inner hall just now.
No wonder he's pointing a knife at her now.
"Brother... Brother, what are you talking about? Who is Zhang... Zhang?"
The Queen's voice couldn't help but tremble.
Her greatest reliance in Kyoto City is Pang Qingyun and her identity as a daughter of the Pang family.
The old emperor also frowned.
Pang Aiqing is hiding something from him.
Pang Qingyun was truly wronged. In the study, he repeatedly tried to say that the queen was not a daughter of the Pang family.
But they were all interrupted by the emperor.
"Daughter of the Zhang family, how long do you want to deceive me?"
"Back then, my mother was trapped in Yunzhou and gave birth to a daughter. You, the Zhang family, you beasts, switched the prince with you and my biological sister."
"Where is your Zhang family's conscience?"
"It is because of my Pang family's support that the Zhang family can have whatever they want in Yunzhou. Not only are you ungrateful, you even dare to plot against my Pang family."
"For these years, you have been living a life of luxury in the Pang family, enjoying the life of a rich lady."
“And my true blood sister, Pang Qingyun, is being treated as the lowest slave by your Zhang family as a house child.”
"She also has the blood of your Zhang family!"
Pang Qingyun became more and more angry as he spoke.
I wish I could rush to Yunzhou right now and wipe out the entire Zhang family.
These leeches would have been ruined if it weren't for my mother and the Pang family helping them out of family ties.
The Zhang family has long since fallen into decline.
"Brother! Don't be fooled. They made this up to deal with me and the prince."
"I'm not a daughter of the Zhang family. I was born to my mother. I'm your biological sister and my parents' biological daughter..."
The old emperor instantly understood why Pang Qingyun, who was obsessed with his sister, repeatedly made things difficult for the queen.
It turned out that he found out that this vicious woman was not his biological sister.
I thought he figured it out on his own.
Or I overestimated him.
"Do you think I would say these things before I have evidence?"
When Pang Qingyun said this, the queen's body softened and she almost fell to the ground.
When did he start to doubt her?
When did he start investigating her?
Pang Qingyun, who had no evidence at all, felt even more resentful when he saw the queen's reaction.
This vicious woman has made the Pang family suffer so much by hiding this from them!
At this moment, a voice came into Shen Zhao's mind.
Shen Zhao quickly looked towards the old emperor sitting at the top.
Shouting, "Protect the emperor!"
