The Queen was brought over by her maid Xizhi.
Fu Tong'er looked at her and wanted to stand up and bow to her. Just as she moved, Emperor Jing said, "Tong'er, sit down. No need to be polite."
When the Queen heard this, she almost fell down in her high heels.
Fu Tong'er was not polite either.
She didn't want to stay in the palace.
Empress Dowager Xu came over and bowed deeply to Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Emperor Jing picked up the Buddhist beads on the table, removed two beads, and raised his hand to pinch Empress Xuan's chin: "Did you kill those two palace maids? And did you put them in the Phoenix Palace?"
When the Queen heard this, she looked over to Eunuch Xia, who was kneeling on the ground, and saw him shaking his head...
Then she understood and said, "Your Majesty, this is none of my business."
When Emperor Jing saw Eunuch Xia shaking his head, he took a picture of the Buddhist beads.
"Xia Yao!"
Eunuch Xia turned his knees.
"The servant is here."
"I saw you winking at the Queen!"
Fu Tong'er held the Soul-Breaking Whip and pounded on the table: "Your Majesty, they see that you have no evidence, so they won't confess to anyone."
At this moment, she suddenly remembered the maid, Zhan'er, who was sent to invite Emperor Jing.
She hasn't replied yet.
"Your Majesty, have you seen the maid I sent to invite you bloom?"
Emperor Jing turned around and looked into Fu Tong'er's big eyes, as if he was looking at an old friend. After a long while, he said, "Qixuan said that something happened to you and asked me to come here. I didn't see the girl you sent."
The queen fell to the side.
Seeing this, Fu Tong'er asked: "Has the Queen met you?"
"No. I have never seen her! I have always been in the Pepper Palace, how could I have met your girl?"
Fu Tong'er pointed at the corpses on the steps with her whip: "Did the Empress kill those two people, frame me, and then release them here?"
"How dare you! I am the Queen..."
"Empress—!" Emperor Jing raised his voice. "Tong'er didn't ask a question. I just asked you the same question. Why didn't you get angry with me? She's just a little girl, what could she understand?"
"Little girl?" Queen Consort sneered, "The little girl was made a noble concubine as soon as she entered the palace?"
Emperor Jing snorted and slammed his Buddhist beads on the stone table. "It was I who insisted on making her a noble concubine! If you're not comfortable sitting in the position of empress, you can hand over the Phoenix Seal now! If you're not comfortable living in the Pepper Palace, you can move out now! You've been childless for all these years! I'm only retaining the position of empress for the sake of the late empress dowager! If Tong'er ever becomes pregnant with a prince, she will be the mistress of the harem! I will also make her son the crown prince!"
King Hui was surprised!
Shocked!
Fu Tong'er remembered that she seemed to be pregnant with Jiu Ye's child.
If Your Majesty appoints Ninth Master's child as Crown Prince...
She suddenly thought of the tall and strong man.
The Queen cried and laughed, "Your Majesty, we have been married for decades, are we not as good as a little girl like her? She has been with my ninth brother for such a long time, and you have seen them kissing with your own eyes, and you have also seen my ninth brother caressing her body with your own eyes..."
"Empress!" Emperor Jing's voice deepened. "You are not blessed by Heaven, empty and unreal. You are unfit to inherit the ancestral temple and be the mother of the nation. Therefore, you are demoted to a commoner! Confine yourself to the Pepper Room and surrender the Phoenix Seal."
Fu Tong'er was stunned. Deposed queen?
"Your Majesty, isn't it too late?"
"Do you think it's too much?" Emperor Jing turned around and asked, and Fu Tong'er lowered her head.
She was still a little scared when facing a man who was more than 20 years older than her.
"This is His Majesty's family affair. Just leave me alone. Since there's no evidence... I'll handle it however His Majesty says."
At this moment, Nanny Yu, who was beside the late Empress Dowager, came over and said, "The late Empress Dowager has issued an order! The Empress cannot be deposed!"
Fu Tong'er looked at Hong Yusu who was standing beside her: "Brother Su,"
Emperor Jing looked up at Hong Yusu who was standing there holding the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Hong Yu nodded solemnly.
"I'm hungry."
Emperor Jing said, "It's almost dinner time." He then addressed Empress Dowager Xu, who was kneeling on the ground. "I may not depose you, but I'll spare your life. Return to your palace! From now on, if anything happens to Tong'er, you'll be the first person I think of."
The Queen left...
Eunuch Xia was still kneeling there.
