Chapter 214 Bo Qiaohui 26
"Mother, look at your good Wu'er. Bringing troops into the palace is a capital crime. Don't you understand what he is planning? The most urgent task now is to let Qi'er ascend the throne. Please hand over the tiger talisman."
Guantao didn't bother to care what happened. She only knew that she had placed her bet on Liu Qi. If he couldn't become emperor today, and Liu Wu knew what she had done, her wealth and power would all fall apart. This was something she could never tolerate!
Dou Yifang was completely disappointed with her daughter. She simply stopped looking at her and instead looked at Liu Qi, the man who could actually make the decision. "Qi'er, what about you? Are you going to punish your brother too?"
"What about the Queen Mother? Does the Queen Mother want Wu'er to become the emperor?"
"My Queen Mother doesn't care about that position, and I believe Wu'er doesn't care either. He sent troops this time because he couldn't bear to see her humiliated, not to usurp your throne. Could you please let him go?"
Guan Tao immediately frowned: "My Queen Mother is too partial. If we let him off easily today, wouldn't that mean we are disregarding the law? Wouldn't those uncles and brothers act even more recklessly then?"
"As long as you tell them that Liu Wu sent the troops at your suggestion, the situation can be reversed." Dou Yifang was still trying to find a way to exonerate Liu Wu. She made careful plans, her deep love for her son evident in her words, causing Liu Qi to sigh cryptically, "Mother and Wu'er truly have a deep love for each other."
Bo Qiaohui, who was quietly enjoying the melon on the side, was speechless. Why did Liu Qi fall into a childish mentality of "Does my mother love me?" and "Who does my mother love more?" whenever Dou Yifang was mentioned?
Seeing that if they continued, the mother and son would fall into a cycle of miscommunication and artificial misunderstandings, Bo Qiaohui acted decisively and interrupted the conversation before Liu Qi could say the next word.
"Your Highness, why do you want to let the Queen Mother misunderstand?"
She walked over and put one hand along Liu Qi's back while holding his shoulder with the other, which instantly calmed down the agitated Liu Qi.
"What do you mean by that?"
Dou Yifang looked at her son and saw that he pursed his lips and lowered his head, unwilling to look at her, so she had to turn her gaze to Qiaohui.
"When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince learned that his father was ill, he immediately rushed to the Liang Wang fiefdom and wrote a Crown Prince's decree to His Royal Highness the Liang Wang, allowing His Royal Highness the Liang Wang to act at his discretion if any unexpected event occurred."
Qiao Hui held the Queen's hands and looked at her sincerely: "The love for a mother is the same for everyone. It's the same for Prince Liang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Qi'er, is this true?!" Dou Yifang looked at him in surprise. Liu Qi lowered his head and replied in a muffled voice, "I just asked Wu'er to come back to help me suppress those imperial uncles."
"Qi'er, you have grown up and become sensible." Dou Yifang put on a relieved smile on her face again. Seeing that her two sons could live in harmony with each other, even the grief of Liu Heng's death dissipated a little.
She hurried over, held the child's arm, and said to him seriously, "I know you have many doubts about my past actions. But Qi'er, in my heart, you are all my children. I will never let anyone take your place, and I have never thought of letting anyone else replace you."
As she spoke, she took out the tiger talisman from her sleeve and solemnly handed it to him: "The kingdom your father built, and the rest of your mother's life, are now entrusted to you."
"I will not let down my father and mother's trust!"
………
The coronation ceremony was held with great ceremony. Before anyone could think about how to please the new emperor, they were stunned by his big move when he attended court the next day.
At the beginning, Liu Qixian informed the emperor that Chen Yong, who had spoken rudely in the hall yesterday, had committed suicide out of fear of punishment, but the new emperor said: He actually dared to wrongly accuse my mother. I am kind-hearted and decided to send his mother down as well, so that he can teach this fool a lesson.
So he waved his hand and executed the entire family.
Hey, what happened? They unexpectedly seized a fortune from Chen Yong's house. Those boxes of copper coins, all polished to a shine, were exactly the same as the copper coins sent by his dear uncle, Liu Bi, the King of Wu.
What?
You say it has nothing to do with you?
Oh, so the letters he exchanged with your subordinates were also fake? Was the concubine who flowed from your youngest son's house to Chen Yong's just a coincidence? And the Imperial Physician Liang he mentioned, and the few palace maids who delivered the message earlier, weren't they paid by your friends?
The King of Wu remained calm and immediately said that these were all groundless rumors.
Liu Qi nodded, slammed the table and stood up, saying that my uncle was right!
We are all family! The Liu family, what a harmonious and loving family! My uncle, he is my real uncle. Even if I played chess with his son and accidentally killed him, would he still hold a grudge against me, a child?
He is my uncle, how could he harm me?
In front of everyone, Liu Qi burned all the evidence he had collected and gave a loving speech to all the clan members. Except for King Wu Liu Bi, who might be in poor health and had a slightly pale face, everyone else was very supportive.
Especially when Liu Qi picked out several princes who were either closely related by blood, had close relationships, or were highly respected and had good reputations and gave them generous rewards.
The crowd became visibly enthusiastic about him, the new emperor.
Then he said that he would not change his father's ways for three years, and now all the ministers also shouted: "Eternal joy."
In the Weiyang Palace, Bo Qiaohui, who had become the queen, was about to pay her respects to the empress dowager, but Princess Guantao ran in aggressively with the palace maids.
"Bitch, how dare you plot against me!"
It's really not easy. After thinking about it for three days and three nights, has she finally figured it out? But she is quite good at praising herself. With such a brain, is it worth calculating for her?
Bo Qiaohui knelt calmly, not even bothering to glance at her.
"I'm talking to you, and you dare to ignore me?"
"So what?" Bo Qiaohui adjusted her skirt, and the gorgeous phoenix crown on her head stung Guantao's eyes.
"A fool like you is not fit to participate in this game. If you can still stand here and act so arrogantly, you should be thankful for my mercy."
All the people brought by Guantao were stopped outside. At this moment, she was the only outsider in the hall. Facing Bo Qiaohui's full aura, she was unwilling to believe that she was at a disadvantage.
"You've finally revealed your true colors? Ha, you bitch who pretends to be so coquettish in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor!"
Bo Qiaohui saw through her outward appearance of strength and her inner weakness, so she stood up and walked over to her. "If I hear that word from you again, I'll make you understand what will happen to you if you lose your position as princess."
"How ridiculous! I'm the Emperor's biological sister and the Empress Dowager's legitimate daughter. How could you allow them to dethrone me?"
"You can try."
