The prince is plotting a rebellion, and the two of them will definitely interfere. They have already made up their mind that as soon as the prince is forced to abdicate, they will purge his side!
The prince should forget about sitting on the throne peacefully!
Qianqing Palaceā¦
"Queen, I have implicated you!"
Emperor Cheng Dexun looked pale, looked at the queen with guilt, and said softly.
"Your Majesty, what nonsense are you talking about? Since I am the queen, I will stand by you."
The queen disagreed with the emperor and said seriously.
"It's great to have you by my side!"
The emperor was very moved after hearing this. As the saying goes, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately!
His queen is not that kind of person.
"Oh! I didn't expect that you two are still a pair of ill-fated lovers!"
At this time, a sharp female voice came from outside, and then Concubine Xiao Guifei walked in wearing gorgeous clothes and looked at the two of them with disgust.
When the emperor saw the visitor, the look of disgust on his face was no less than that on Concubine Xiao's.
"What are you doing here?"
The emperor looked at Concubine Xiao coldly, and pushed the queen behind him without saying a word.
"I'm here to have a chat with the Emperor, and to ask him to pass the throne to the Crown Prince!"
Concubine Xiao Gui looked at the emperor, put away the disgust on her face, and spoke nonchalantly.
"What if I don't?"
The emperor did not move. He just looked at Concubine Xiao and spoke lightly.
"If you don't agree, there is no antidote for the poison in your body. Oh! By the way, you are a good queen, so there is no antidote for poison!"
Concubine Xiao Gui didn't mind shrugging her shoulders and looked at the emperor as if he was telling him a secret.
Concubine Xiao Gui knew that the emperor would not agree, but she was not in a hurry. Now the entire palace was controlled by her father, and she had plenty of time to waste with them.
"You vicious woman! I knew that the Queen's viciousness had something to do with you!!"
The emperor was furious. He had known that the queen had been poisoned half a year ago, and he sent people to investigate at that time. In the end, the clues pointed to Concubine Xiao, but there was insufficient evidence, so the case was put on hold for the time being.
Didn't expect it was really her?
"Hahaha! I am a vicious woman? I have followed you since I was six years old. I thought I would be your Crown Princess, your Queen, but what happened? This woman."
When Concubine Xiao Gui heard the emperor scolding her, she immediately lost her guard and questioned the emperor loudly. Finally, she was emotional and pointed at the woman who was protected by the emperor, and growled unwillingly:
"It's this woman. You would rather sign unequal terms with your mother in order to let her become the queen. Why should she be the queen? I have been with you for so long. Why can she be the queen and I can't?"
"Based on your narrow mind, you are not worthy of being my successor!"
The emperor looked coldly at the ferocious-looking woman opposite him and said with disgust.
"What's wrong with my heart? What woman doesn't want her husband to be loyal to her? Who would be willing to give up her husband? I just made the same mistake that all women make!"
Concubine Xiao Guifei didn't think she had done anything wrong, she just wanted her husband to love her.
"You think too highly of yourself. I am not your husband. I have only one queen, and you are at most my concubine. It is wrong for a concubine to covet something that does not belong to her."
"Besides, I don't love you. It was the Queen Mother's idea that made you a noble concubine. If you weren't the Queen Mother's niece and my cousin, I'm afraid you wouldn't have this fate! It's a pity that you didn't seize the opportunity!"
The emperor did not give her face, and his words hit her right in the heart, shattering her last bit of hope.
"Shut up, shut up!"
Concubine Xiao Gui was immediately furious when the emperor said that and yelled at him.
The emperor shut up honestly. He didn't want to quarrel with this crazy woman, lest it lower his status as an emperor!
For a moment, the entire Qianqing Palace was quiet.
After Concubine Xiao calmed down, she remembered something, suppressed her anger, and chuckled:
"Haha, since you are so ruthless, then I have nothing to say. Your Majesty, write a letter of abdication! Only if you abdicate, your majesty will become the emperor, and I will be the queen mother. You can stay with your queen forever!"
"Mother, hasn't Father written his abdication letter yet?"
At this time, the prince walked in, followed by a group of people, with an imposing manner.
"Not yet!"
Concubine Xiao Gui shook her head and glanced at her son. This was the first time. They would come to coerce and bribe him every day, but this stinky man just refused to write an edict.
"Father, please continue writing. This entire palace has been controlled by your son. Now you only have this one choice. When I become the emperor, you will be the emperor emeritus. You can enjoy your leisurely life. Isn't that good?"
"Besides, you and the queen are now poisoned and have no power over the affairs of the court. It is better to let your son take charge. I will definitely do a good job. You can just rest assured and take care of your health. Isn't that good?"
The prince looked at his father and said seriously, as if he was doing this for your own good.
"Haha, this is the first time I know that my sons are more arrogant than each other. They want to grab the position even though they have nothing to do with it. Do they really think that position is so good? It is impossible for them to write a letter of abdication. If you have something to do, come and grab it!"
The emperor looked at his son and smiled indifferently.
He felt that it was pathetic for him to be the emperor because his sons were not of the same mind as him and each of them was trying to usurp the throne in one way or another.
The women all had their own evil intentions, but they also dragged Sheng Guang down and could not move.
There is no one in the court who is worry-free, no one can give advice, and they still have to rely on Miss Xiao.
Now, when the four countries are eyeing him covetously, the prince, who has nothing to do, is trying to seize power and usurp the throne.
You really think he is a soft persimmon! ! !
"Father, aren't we just robbing? Since you won't cooperate, okay, I'll write it, and you just need to stamp it, okay?"
The prince doesn't have much time to waste here. If he continues, something bad might happen sooner or later!
Since he has agreed with my mother's opinion and come to seize power, he must succeed, otherwise, he will be doomed! !
The prince did not hesitate at all. He walked straight to the desk, picked up the brush, and quickly wrote the imperial edict of abdication. Then he blew on it, walked to the emperor, and said:
"Father, please stamp it! Once it's stamped, everything will be settled! I, your son, will not embarrass you too much!"
The emperor just watched him write the imperial edict without moving. He would not stamp it. If he did, they would lose a bargaining chip and it would be even more dangerous. So he couldn't stamp it now.
So the emperor simply closed his eyes and ignored the prince's actions.
"Son, don't waste your words on him. If he disagrees, then use the Queen as a joke. Doesn't he treasure his Queen the most? Let's see today how much he treasures her!"
Seeing the emperor's fearless look, Concubine Xiao Gui felt so angry that her teeth itched. Looking at the empress who was well protected behind him, she gave her son a tip: she would not let this woman go.
"Mother!"
The prince looked at the empress behind the emperor and hesitated. He just wanted the throne and didn't want to really move his father. As for his mother, she was actually not bad to him. He was a little hesitant for a moment.
