The queen walked in calmly.
"Queen, quickly capture them for me!" the emperor said loudly, fearing that he spoke too softly and the queen could not hear him.
The ministers looked at the emperor and thought: Where does he get the confidence to think that the queen has the ability to take down Prince Su?
Anyone with a brain would not say this. Who else in this world can take down His Royal Highness Prince Su?
Success or failure is already in front of them, but their emperor still cannot recognize the current situation.
The Queen found it ridiculous, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you took my Phoenix Seal a long time ago?"
"Even if I took your Phoenix Seal, doesn't your Zhenguo Mansion control 50,000 troops in the capital? Why don't they come to protect me? And let this rebellious son in?"
The Queen smiled and said, "I think it's more appropriate for Grand Marshal Qin to come and protect the Prince at this time. After all, Imperial Concubine Qin holds the Phoenix Seal, and the commander of the Imperial Guards is Grand Marshal Qin's man. Speaking of which, it was Grand Marshal Qin's men who let Prince Su into the palace, and my brother also guarded the city gates for at least two days."
As soon as she said this, the emperor's face froze, as if something was stuck in his throat.
At the beginning, the commander of the imperial guards was exposed by Zhou Zhengyuan about the incident of Princess Su in the Heavenly Prison. He had no choice but to sacrifice his own plan to save his own. Later, in order to balance the power in the court, he had to use Qin Taiwei's men.
I didn't expect that General Qin was such an ungrateful bastard that he actually dared to let Chu Jinghuai, a bastard, in.
After a long silence, the emperor spoke, "Empress, I believe I have never treated you unfairly in all these years, and this is how you treat me?"
The Queen suddenly burst out laughing, a hint of coldness in her laughter. "Your Majesty, by not mistreating me, do you mean that you haven't deposed me?"
The emperor's expression froze, and he remained silent for a long while.
"If that bitch, Consort Chen, hadn't died early, wouldn't you have planned to depose me?" At this point, the Queen looked at the crowd and continued, "Can you believe this? The man you wholeheartedly support is actually going to depose his first wife for a woman of questionable character."
"Can any woman tolerate such a thing?"
Chen Jingxi glanced at the emperor with disdain. If this kind of thing happened to her, she would not be able to get rid of the hatred in her heart unless she killed him.
The emperor looked at the contemptuous looks from the crowd and quickly explained, "I have never thought of deposing the empress. You have misunderstood."
The Queen sneered, "Have you never thought about it, or do you just not dare? If it weren't for my father and brother, you would have ascended to the throne. You even want to depose me. Don't you think about your own character?"
Her words undoubtedly reminded the emperor how miserable and humble he had been in the past.
His eyes were bloodshot as he angrily said, "Yes, I want to destroy you. Do you know what I hate most about you? It's your condescending attitude. Every day when I look at you, I'm reminded of how I was down and out, begging for mercy from your family. They looked at me the same way they looked at me."
"That's not what you said when you married me. Have you forgotten? I'm marrying you now. I wish to spend the rest of my life with you, sharing joys and sorrows, life and death together, and never letting you down."
After hearing this, the emperor stared at her for a long time, remembering the oath he made many years ago in order to marry her. He had made the oath sincerely at that time.
But at some point, he began to feel disgusted when he saw her.
It was the arrogant look on her face every time she mentioned her father and brother that made him feel like a useless man, and that he was where he was today only because of his father and brother.
He lowered his eyes.
He looked at the Queen for a long moment, and finally said, "Those are just temporary measures, they can't be taken seriously."
"Hahaha, man! That's what a man is, heartless and ungrateful."
"When he was in the most difficult time, you were the only one by his side. He had no choice. When Feiheng Tengda became successful, you felt that all the hard work had paid off. Everything you have now is what you deserve."
"But when he sees you now, he'll think of his miserable past. He feels like he has options now, and you're redundant. He'll want to find a poor, destitute woman who's never seen him, who only sees his glorious present and is filled with admiration for everything about him."
After the queen finished speaking, many ministers lowered their heads. How many people's dirty lives were exposed by this?
So, women, don't be stupid.
Never suffer with a man.
The emperor's expression was undoubtedly ugly as his thoughts were exposed so nakedly to the public.
To prove he was still a human being, the emperor said, "I did consider deposing the empress, but I have been training my son as the crown prince. Isn't that enough?"
The Queen scoffed, "If that's the case, why don't you just make him the Crown Prince? Instead, make him one of the three princes alongside the Prince of Jin and the Prince of Su."
"I am doing this to test him, so that he can take on great responsibilities in the future."
"What a joke! If you really wanted to pass the throne to him, you should have directly made him the crown prince instead of this so-called test."
"If I hadn't intended to pass the throne to him, when he married Princess Xiqi and secretly manufactured weapons, I should have deposed him instead of confining him."
After hearing this, the Queen also glanced at the Emperor with a sneer, "If Prince Jin wasn't such a sickly person, would you pass the throne to my son?"
The emperor said angrily, "If I didn't want to pass the throne to Prince Rong, I wouldn't have turned a blind eye and watched you poison Prince Jin."
Everyone present was shocked. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. The emperor could explain that he poisoned or assassinated Prince Su because his achievements surpassed his master's and the higher-ups were wary of him.
But the Prince of Jin had been weak since childhood, which meant that the Queen had been poisoning him long ago, and the Emperor knew about it. They couldn't figure out what was the reason that made the Emperor so heartless that he watched his son being poisoned and did nothing.
