"Could it be that the cooperation she discussed with you was that she told you where the imperial edict was hidden, and that after you ascended the throne, you would make her the queen?!"
Ying Xixi widened her eyes, and her shocked look made Qiao Yuyuan unable to help but reach out and pinch her cheek again.
"right."
"Right? You're right? Doesn't that mean you've agreed to her agreement?! Do you really want her to be your queen?!"
Ying Xixi unconsciously raised her voice, her eyes filled with disbelief and resentment.
When Qiao Yuyuan met her gaze, his heart ached.
He quickly comforted Ying Xixi by letting her bury her head in his arms and gently patted her back.
"No, you are my only queen, and you are my only concubine. There will never be another woman.
I didn't promise her explicitly, but she thought I did.
And after she told me the location of the will and I got it, she poisoned Qiao Yulin.
After Qiao Yulin was poisoned and fell into a coma, I was dealing with other things, which gave her the opportunity to come and yell at you, Xixi.
I'm sorry, I didn't consider this at the time. I didn't expect she would actually try to use the emperor's poisoning to slander you."
Ying Xixi nudged herself in Qiao Yuyuan's arms and raised her head. "What about now? How are things going now?"
"The succession ceremony will be held in a few days. I have ordered Concubine Rou to be placed under house arrest in the palace to ensure that nothing goes wrong. After I ascend the throne, I will punish her for poisoning the retired emperor.
Qiao Yulin is still in a coma. When he wakes up, shall we go see him together? "
Ying Xixi smiled, "Let's go together and piss him off to death, right?"
Qiao Yuyuan also smiled and rubbed Ying Xixi's forehead affectionately, "Yes, what I am doing now is just repeating what he did to his grandfather.
When he pissed off his grandfather to death, I'm afraid he never thought that in a few years, he would also be pissed off to death by me.
I have avenged my grandfather.”
......
Three days later, Qiao Yuyuan’s succession ceremony will be held.
Because he had the late emperor's will and supporters, and the preliminary preparations were also very good.
The succession ceremony went smoothly and no one came out to obstruct it.
Qiao Yuyuan officially became the emperor and finally took back everything that once belonged to him!
After the succession ceremony, the imprisoned Concubine Rou sneaked out of the palace and went to the imperial study to find Qiao Yuyuan.
"Your Majesty, no, it should be the Emperor now. Your Majesty, you promised me that after you ascended the throne, you would make me the Empress. Now is the time for you to fulfill your promise."
Concubine Rou looked at Qiao Yuyuan steadily, and didn't seem to worry that Qiao Yuyuan would go back on his word.
Qiao Yuyuan put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Concubine Rou calmly, "Promise? I don't remember promising you anything."
Concubine Rou's pupils trembled. She obviously didn't expect that Qiao Yuyuan would actually dare to go back on his word!
"Your Majesty, don't forget who it is because of you that you were able to ascend to the throne!
I can make you emperor, or I can expose your sordid past and let the people of the world force you to step down!"
Concubine Rou had a vicious look in her eyes and revealed Qiao Yuyuan's biggest secret.
Fortunately, there were only her and Qiao Yuyuan in the imperial study.
Qiao Yuyuan was surprised but not shocked that Concubine Rou knew his background.
After all, since this woman knew how Qiao Yulin swapped the imperial edict and the hidden point of the imperial edict, it seemed normal for her to know Qiao Yulin's secret.
Concubine Rou thought that if she said this, she would see Qiao Yuyuan's panic-stricken expression, but she was disappointed.
Qiao Yuyuan just snapped his fingers, and a guard came in from outside the door and poured the liquid in his hand directly into Concubine Rou's mouth!
Concubine Rou was caught off guard and wanted to resist but was held tightly by the guards. She swallowed some of the unknown liquid.
"How dare you! What did you feed me?! You......"
After saying these words in a hoarse voice, Concubine Rou found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't speak!
Her eyes widened, she touched her throat with both hands, opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out.
Qiao Yuyuan stood up slowly and walked step by step to Concubine Rou.
"Concubine Rou poisoned the Retired Emperor, causing him to fall into a coma. Take Concubine Rou away and execute her on a later date!"
Concubine Rou's eyes were bloodshot and she stared at Qiao Yuyuan in disbelief.
This is a devil!
It's the devil!
Qiao Yuyuan watched the guards take Concubine Rou away, and called the people from the Imperial Observatory to discuss a good day for the empress's coronation ceremony.
........
Ying Xixi learned from Hua Yue that Concubine Rou was beheaded by the emperor because she poisoned the retired emperor.
Huayue was still sighing when she talked about this.
"I don't know what Concubine Rou was thinking, she actually poisoned the retired emperor! Is it because the retired emperor didn't want her to be the queen?
But that was also her fault. It's really strange. By the way, Your Majesty, I also heard that the Emperor is going to disband the harem on behalf of the Emperor Emeritus.
Originally, all the concubines of the retired emperor were to go to the temple to worship the ancient Buddha with green lamps.
But the emperor said that everyone was young, so he just disbanded the harem, and even if everyone wanted to remarry in the future, they could do so.
Your Majesty, I would like to follow you. Can you take me with you when you leave the palace?"
Huayue has been serving Ying Xixi since she entered the palace.
After spending these years together, Huayue likes her master Ying Xixi very much.
Ying Xixi was choked for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Hua Yue still doesn't know about her relationship with Qiao Yuyuan.
How could she tell Hua Yue that not only would she not leave the palace, but she would also become the empress of Emperor Qiao Yuyuan?
However, before Ying Xixi could figure out how to tell Hua Yue, someone soon came to tell her the time of the queen coronation ceremony.
Hua Yue on the side was stunned.
Queen's coronation ceremony?
Why tell her mother?
Is the new emperor’s queen related to his own mother?
"Your Majesty, does the Emperor want you to attend the coronation ceremony? Then do we have to leave the palace after the ceremony is over?"
Hua Yue still couldn't connect the dots between the Queen's coronation ceremony and her mother.
Ying Xixi couldn't help laughing when she saw Hua Yue's bewildered look.
"Hanazuki, we don't have to leave the palace. We can live in the palace forever because I will be the queen."
Huayue: "???"
"ah??"
At the coronation ceremony a few days later, Hua Yue looked at her own queen standing beside the new emperor in a phoenix robe, her expression a little confused and a little complicated.
She still hasn't figured out how the Queen became the new emperor's empress.
The expressions of the other ministers and palace maids who knew Ying Xixi's identity also varied.
Qiao Yuyuan doesn't care about these.
He sat on the throne just to be able to stand by Xixi openly.
Now he has done it.
In the future, he will protect Xixi and the children.
