In the dream, there were flashes of swords and sabers. His successor and the crown prince pointed swords at him, saying that he was old and that he should abdicate the throne.
The palace guards listened to the prince and surrounded him. He became a lonely man and had to abdicate the throne.
Not only that, the prince also put him under house arrest.
He couldn't eat or drink well and was afraid that the prince would poison him.
The queen even openly abused and beat him.
He was paralyzed in bed and later kept a gigolo.
The queen said, "I've put up with you for so many years, and now it's finally over."
The queen also gave birth to a son for the pretty boy. The prince was not interested in women and had no children, so he eventually supported the pretty boy's son to become the emperor.
His throne was taken by an outsider.
The old emperor in the dream felt aggrieved and depressed. He waved his hands and wanted to kill the empress dowager and the prince, but he failed.
The feeling in the dream was so real that when the old emperor woke up and saw the queen sleeping beside him, he subconsciously reached out and strangled her neck.
The queen woke up with a feeling of almost suffocation. She looked at the old emperor who was immersed in his own thoughts in horror.
"Let me go...let me go." The queen struggled weakly.
Although the emperor is old, the empress is still no match for him.
It was not until the empress's nails scratched the old emperor's flesh that he came to his senses and let go.
The queen took deep breaths, and after she caught her breath, she said, "Your Majesty, what happened to you just now? Were you having a nightmare?"
The emperor also seemed to wake up from a dream. He looked at the empress dowager, and his gaze finally fell on his arm which was scratched by the empress dowager. There was a long blood mark there.
The Empress Dowager also saw it and quickly explained, "I was just too scared and didn't react for a moment."
The old emperor has always had a moody mood, and even she, the queen, has always served him carefully. Now that she has damaged the dragon's body, she doesn't know how angry the emperor will be.
The old emperor recalled the scene in his dream.
Those dreams were so real that he felt they were something that might happen in the future.
The Queen Mother has always been dishonest. This woman is vain and power-loving, so it is not impossible that she would instigate the Crown Prince to rebel.
There was also the crown prince. He had few offspring, and only the crown prince and Prince Heng survived to adulthood. The crown prince was intelligent, and in his early years, he loved and valued the crown prince very much.
After the prince joined the army, he was also very worried about his son.
As the prince gained military merit and gradually gained reputation, the old emperor felt relieved.
But because of the dream he just had, the old emperor had completely different ideas.
He is now in the prime of his life, but his son's authority is a little too great.
We have to think of a way to suppress the prince.
There is also a successor.
The old emperor looked at the queen coldly and said, "Can a momentary lack of reaction damage the dragon's body?"
"Have you ever heard the saying, 'If the ruler wants his subjects to die, they must die.' Today, don't even think about dying. Even if I strangle you to death, you won't resist even a little bit."
The queen's face turned pale, her lips trembling and she couldn't speak.
The old emperor said, "From now on, the Queen will stay indoors to reflect on her mistakes. She cannot leave without my permission."
"As for all matters concerning the harem, they will be managed temporarily by Concubine Shu."
The empress wanted to say something, but she knew the old emperor's temperament very well. Once he made a decision, ordinary people could not change it.
She tried to appear submissive and said, "I know I was wrong, and I feel guilty. I am willing to reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors and pray for the emperor."
The old emperor snorted coldly, then turned away.
The empress dowager's face turned pale. This was the first time the old emperor had been so disrespectful to her. Was it really just because she hurt the emperor?
But she is also excusable.
Something must have happened, otherwise why would the old emperor suddenly strangle her neck?
Jiang Yi must have said something bad about her in front of the old emperor.
She knew that Concubine Shu had no good intentions in adopting a person who looked like Queen Jiang and taking great pains to send her into the palace. Now, the rumors from Concubine Jiang reached her.
As soon as she lost power, Concubine Shu gained power, which really made her angry!
The old emperor now favors Jiang Yi, and Concubine Shu has Jiang Zhaoyi as her helper. I am afraid that she will lose face in front of Concubine Shu more often in the future.
She couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to think of a way to dampen the arrogance of Concubine Shu and Concubine Jiang.
A thought suddenly flashed through the queen's mind.
The empress dowager lost power and Concubine Shu gained it. Concubine Shu was so happy.
When Queen Jiang died, she also gave birth to a son for the emperor. However, because the son of the empress dowager won favor in front of the emperor, the empress dowager became the empress and suppressed her.
Now she can finally be proud of herself, and she feels more and more that it was a wise decision to save Jiang Yi, erase Jiang Yi's memory, and let Jiang Yi become a knife in her hand.
The emperor just loves this one.
So that night, Concubine Shu invited the old emperor over on the pretext of palace affairs, and wanted him to stay overnight.
Shufei was a few years younger than the empress dowager and more beautiful, so the old emperor did not refuse.
But that night, the old emperor had another nightmare.
Unlike the previous dream, the person who rebelled this time was King Heng. What was even more outrageous was that King Heng not only rebelled, but also took Jiang Yi for himself after the rebellion and ran in front of him with a show-off look on his face.
The old emperor was so angry that he slapped Concubine Shu in the face. Concubine Shu was awakened by the old emperor. She covered her face and saw the old emperor walking away. She didn't know what had happened, so she became more and more frightened.
