Chapter 187: Deposed Queen

The news of the queen's escape spread the next day and could not be suppressed.

When the ministers heard the news, they all submitted memorials, saying that Feng Xiyao was extremely rude and that the queen had escaped in the middle of the night, and that she was not worthy of the position of queen. They requested the emperor to depose her.

Zhang Quan knew that his daughter Zhang Shen was banished to the cold palace largely because of the empress. His daughter was framed just because she told the truth.

Now that he knew Feng Xiyao had escaped, he immediately brought his colleagues to report the incident.

In the court.

Zhang Quan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is the head of a country, yet she has done such an impolite act. Such a person must not continue to sit on the throne. Please depose the Queen!"

Prime Minister Feng has resigned, and now no one will care about him giving face to Feng Xiyao.

Zhang Quan was the most likely candidate to become the prime minister, and the ministers below came forward one after another to agree with him.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is indeed not fit to sit in the back seat. Last time, the incident with Lord Jiang was known to everyone in the city. Now she has done such a thing again... She is really not worthy of the status of Queen."

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"

"I second the motion!"

“…”

All the ministers knelt down, except for a few who had been taught by Feng Li.

Jiang Jue stood straight, wanting to go up and beg for mercy, but was worried that his actions would harm Feng Xiyao.

“…”

Mo Cangyan looked at the people kneeling below with no expression on his face.

“…”

Mo Lingyun faced Mo Cangyan helplessly, not knowing what to say.

As Feng Li's most proud student, Fu Heng had received many favors from Feng Li. Now that his teacher had resigned, he would not let his teacher's daughter be bullied.

He thought for a moment and spoke slowly: "Master Zhang is wrong. The matter between Master Jiang and the Queen has been explained clearly. There is no romantic relationship between them. Now Master Jiang has married the princess, and they are very happy and in love!"

"As for what you said about the queen trying to escape from the palace, that's just a rumor. The queen caught a cold and stayed in Fengchun Palace. She didn't run away."

Zhang Quan stood up and glared at Fu Heng angrily.

"Master Fu, the emperor is still here, how dare you lie with your eyes open? So many people saw it, and you still said it was a rumor!"

Fu Heng said slowly, "Master Zhang, did you see the empress escape when you were there?"

"I……"

Zhang Quan was choked and couldn't explain what he was saying for a while.

Fu Heng curled his lips and chuckled: "Since Lord Zhang didn't see it, then he heard it from others. This is a rumor. Since it is a rumor, Lord Zhang dared to instigate the emperor's ministers to depose the queen. What crime should you bear!"

Zhang Quan was so angry at Fu Heng that he blew his beard and glared at him, cursing: "Fu Heng, you are slandering me, you..."

If the emperor had not been here, he would have taken action long ago.

Mo Lingyun also spoke up at this time: "Your Majesty, I also think it's a rumor. The Queen has always been dignified and elegant. How could she run away!"

Unexpectedly, Mo Lingyun also came out to excuse the Queen, and Zhang Quan's eyes widened.

"Your Majesty, this is the truth. So many people saw it!"

"Yes, how can the prince lie like Fu Heng..."

Mo Cangyan listened to the ministers below who were arguing like a boiling kettle and pinched his brows in annoyance.

Zhang Quan knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. Fu Heng is still slandering me. Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

Mo Cangyan looked at the person who spoke and raised his eyebrows.

"Minister Fu is right. The news that the Queen wanted to sneak out of the palace is pure rumor. How did he slander you?"

“…”

The court fell silent. So many people had seen the incident, but the Emperor had turned black into white in order to protect the Empress.

Since the emperor had spoken, the other ministers did not dare to act rashly and kept their mouths shut.

Seeing that everyone was finally quiet, Mo Cangyan continued to speak.

"The queen did not escape. She caught a cold and stayed in Fengchun Palace."

Looking at the few people who had just shouted the loudest, he said, "So, what else do you want to say?"

“…”

Several colleagues looked at each other, and no one dared to speak for a while.

In the end, the matter was let go, and the ministers who had clamored to depose the queen were punished.

People didn't say anything, but seeing how the emperor was protecting the empress, it seemed that even if they could produce evidence, they wouldn't be able to do anything to the empress.

…

Nan'an Palace.

Mo Lingyun returned to the palace and took off his court robes tiredly.

Zhang Luoyi came over holding his daughter in his arms: "What's going on? Is the Emperor going to depose the Empress?"

Mo Lingyun turned around and smiled at her, then looked at his daughter's waving chubby hands and reached out to take them and held them in his arms.

"How is it possible? My brother loves my sister-in-law so much, how could he bear to abandon her? He went against all odds in the court to protect her."

Zhang Luoyi raised his hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of his daughter's mouth.

"Then it seems that the Queen will be fine!"

Thinking of Mo Cangyan's gloomy face, having grown up together, how could Mo Lingyun not see the hidden anger in his royal brother.

He pursed his lips and said, "I don't think so. My brother looks very angry this time."

Zhang Luoyi sighed and said, "It's fine.

, how could it become like this! "

Mo Lingyun didn't know the reason and shook his head.

“…”

Mo Zhenzhu was already half a year old. She bit her hand and stared at her father who was holding her with her big round eyes. Then she waved her hand happily and slapped him on the chin.

"Can't!"

Seeing that she was still trying to pull Mo Lingyun's hair, Zhang Luoyi quickly grabbed her hand and taught her a lesson in a gentle voice.

Seeing his daughter being so naughty, Mo Lingyun was helpless.

I would come back immediately after court every day to accompany them, but this little girl still hit me.

Little Pearl had her hand held, she pursed her lips unhappily, and then tears started to fall down, her eyes and nose were red, and her little belly was shaking from crying.

She looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, which made Mo Lingyun's heart melt. He hugged her and coaxed her in a soft voice.

Watching him coaxing little Pearl, Zhang Luoyi couldn't help but speak again.

"When you have time, go to the palace to persuade the emperor. If that doesn't work, go to the queen mother. The emperor always listens to what the queen mother says."

"Okay, I know!"

…

When Jiang Jue returned to the mansion, Mo Qingcheng went to greet him.

"So, is my brother furious?"

Jiang Jue frowned slightly: "The emperor didn't, and he tried his best to protect the queen, but the queen may not have an easy life in the future."

He saw clearly that the forbearance and anger in the emperor's eyes could not deceive anyone.

It was true that he loved the queen and was reluctant to abandon her, but he would not let her go easily either.

Saying that she caught a cold might just imprison her.

Seeing Jiang Jue's worried face, Mo Qingcheng walked over and held his hand.

"Don't worry. My brother loves my sister-in-law so much that he won't be willing to do anything to her. If you are worried, let's go to the palace and take a look."

"Princess……"

Jiang Jue looked at the hand she was holding, slightly stunned.
