After leaving Huaqing Palace, Emperor Yu did not return to Jinhua Palace, but went to Yiku Palace where the queen lived.
Although the queen's face remained calm, her heart was in turmoil.
Her heart was pounding, and she always felt that something bad was going to happen.
As the queen's personal maid, Hong Fei naturally noticed the queen's uneasiness at the moment.
She walked to the Queen's side and said comfortingly, "Your Majesty, it was the Imperial Concubine who lost the longan, and the child was killed by the Imperial Concubine. It has nothing to do with you, so don't worry."
The Queen opened her mouth slightly, and was about to speak——
"Your Majesty, your servant!"
The queen was startled by the voices of the palace servants outside the palace and hurried towards the palace door.
The moment the black robe caught the Queen's eye, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you."
The next moment, a big hand grabbed her neck and forced the queen to raise her head.
She looked at Di Yu in disbelief: "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Yu pursed his lips tightly, his eyes as cold as ice. "Zhuang Jinse, I, in recognition of your family's service to the emperor, have given you the throne of empress. Is this how you repay me?"
The queen opened her eyes wide, and Emperor Yu's fury was reflected in her pupils.
"May I ask Your Majesty, what fault have I committed to make Your Majesty so angry?"
"Oh, what crime did you commit? As the mistress of the harem, you indulged the concubines in their intrigues, making them so daring that they plotted to murder my Wanwan and killed my offspring right under your nose. Tell me, what crime did you commit?!"
The Queen was shocked. His Majesty was blaming her for this!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am wronged! I never thought that the Imperial Concubine would be so bold as to murder the Virtuous Concubine right in front of me. If I had known she had such a motive, I would have stopped her first, Your Majesty!"
"Are you being wronged? Zhuang Jinse, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Why didn't I see you inviting the concubines to drink tea and appreciate the flowers when I was in the palace? As soon as I left, you held a flower viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden."
"In my opinion, this isn't a flower-viewing banquet; it's a Hongmen Banquet specifically set up for Wanwan! You're deliberately plotting to murder my Wanwan!"
Emperor Yu waved his big hand and threw the queen to the ground!
The Queen burst into tears and kept shaking her head: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
Emperor Yu looked at her coldly, his face expressionless. "In consideration of your family's contributions, I will spare your life. Come, pass on my decree. The Empress' virtue is unworthy of her position. From this day forward, her title is abolished and she is demoted to a commoner. She is forced to repent in Ci'an Temple and will be confined to the green lamp from now on, never to leave!"
…
The news that the empress was deposed and the emperor ordered the dismissal of the harem spread throughout Kyoto at lightning speed.
This matter also reached Su Jingyan's ears through the wind.
The pen in Su Jingyan's hand was broken by him with a strong force.
He suddenly looked up at the servant and said in disbelief, "What did you say? Wanwan is pregnant?"
The servant said with a stiff upper lip: "Sir, she has had a miscarriage now."
Su Jingyan suddenly stood up from the desk and paced back and forth in the study with his head down.
no!
Once Wanwan becomes pregnant with the dragon heir, there will be no possibility between them!
After the palace banquet, Su Jingyan seemed to be possessed. He thought of Jiang Jingyu while eating and when he slept. Even when he picked up the brush, he couldn't help but draw Jiang Jingyu's appearance on the rice paper.
He really couldn't stand the days of wanting to see her but not being able to, and wanted to take action in advance, but his father didn't allow him to act rashly.
For the sake of the overall situation, he endured it.
But now he heard that she was pregnant with another man's child, how could he bear it! !
Su Jingyan's mind is now full of Jiang Jingyu's shy look when she was enjoying the pleasure of another man. That face seems to be engraved in his mind and cannot be erased.
That was his beloved woman. How could he accept her being in constant contact with another man and enjoying his company every night?
He regretted that he should not have sent her to the palace and should not have let her leave him.
Thinking of this, Su Jingyan's eyes suddenly became sharp, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Since you regret it, then take her back from that man!
Wanwan can only be his!
In life, I am his; in death, I am his ghost!
Su Jingyan's eyes darkened, he waved at the servant and whispered a few words in his ear.
It was unknown what he said to the servant, but the servant's eyes trembled, and he looked at Su Jingyan in shock: "Sir, are you sure you want to..."
"Alright, I've made up my mind. No need to persuade me. Remember, this is between you and me. We must not let any word leak out, especially not to my father."
The servant gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Yes, sir."
As soon as the imperial edict to depose the empress and dismiss the concubines was issued, the ministers could no longer sit still. They did not even have time to eat and hurriedly put on their official uniforms and rushed to the palace.
They were praising His Majesty that morning for starting to care about his heir, and then in the afternoon came an imperial decree deposing the Empress and dismissing the harem. Isn't this ridiculous?!
Where will the royal heir come from after the harem is dismissed?
They must rush to the palace as soon as possible to stop this absurd thing from happening! !
The ministers were anxious and wanted Emperor Yu to retract this absurd decree, but they forgot that the emperor never jokes.
Once the imperial edict is issued, it will never be changed!
Emperor Yu anticipated that after the imperial edict was issued, the ministers would come to the palace to ask him to revoke it, and he was already waiting for them in the Golden Throne Hall.
Court officials hurried from their residences to the Golden Palace and knelt down as soon as they entered the hall.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! Dismissing the harem is absurd. Please rescind your order!"
