Chapter 46 The late emperor was also a malicious person

"You have already determined that I am guilty, so what else can I say in my defense? If you want to kill me, then go ahead. You don't care what others say about you anyway." The queen mother insisted, still refusing to admit that she had done such a thing.

Everyone in Cining Palace watched the two of them confront each other, kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Lu Yanshi smiled slightly: "You were just Zhaoyi in the first palace back then. If you want to steal a dragon and turn a phoenix into a phoenix, you must have the help of your mother-in-law. I will arrest the Lu family and interrogate them one by one. Kill all the relevant people and let them die in front of you. ”

"Lu Songyan, your favorite nephew, right? Then let's start with him." He spoke slowly, and every word touched the empress dowager's heart.

"Lu Yanshi, how dare you!" The Queen Mother's eyes were bloodshot, and she wished she could rush up and fight him to the death.

"I am the Son of Heaven. There is nothing in this world that I dare not do. Go, tell the commander of the Imperial City Bureau, Xie Mo, to take orders and surround the Lu family." Lu Yanshi sneered and gave the order.

"No, I said, I said, isn't that enough?" The Queen Mother panicked.

She couldn't bring trouble to her family.

Anyway, she has lived a good life.

But her nephews and grandnieces on her mother's side were still young, and she couldn't harm them.

Her psychological defenses were broken and the Queen Mother admitted everything.

She had been pregnant with a child before, but was framed by the concubines in the harem and suffered a miscarriage, which injured her body. She would never be able to have a child again in her life.

But how could a concubine gain a foothold in the harem without a child? That's why she came up with such a deceitful idea.

If you adopt a child from outside the palace, it will be troublesome if the child does not look like the emperor. It is better to steal the child from the concubines in the palace.

Anyway, Concubine Su's family has little influence and no status, and she herself is not particularly favored, so she can be eliminated without anyone noticing in a few years.

Lu Yanshi was furious when he heard this.

If Cao Dehai had not advised him to be more considerate of the Ninth Princess and to accumulate blessings for her, he would have killed the Queen Mother with a single blow.

Just like killing the previous emperor.

The late emperor was also a vicious person. He became more and more confused as he grew older. He even wanted to flirt with his princess and take her into his harem.

If he disagreed, the late emperor would depose him from the throne.

Lu Yanshi is not the kind of person who can be bullied by others.

Since he is not allowed to live a good life, then he should not live at all. He should be the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's confession has been written." Cao Dehai brought him back from his memories.

"Prescribe the same medicine you gave Concubine Su back then as you do now. I want her to die in exactly the same way as Concubine Su. Do you understand?" Lu Yanshi lowered his head to look at the imperial physician Mo Ruliang, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.

"I understand, your humble servant." Mo Ruliang replied tremblingly.

"Emperor, why don't you give me a quick death?" the Queen Mother was anxious.

In order to make Sumer look like she had died of grief over the loss of her daughter, she gave her a heart-destroying drug.

The pain in my heart grew stronger as time went on, and I couldn't find out the real reason until I was almost dying of pain.

She didn't want to experience that kind of pain.

"Give you a quick death?" Lu Yanshi sneered.

"That's too cheap for you."

After saying this, he left Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother was left standing there, roaring, raving, and swearing, until finally wailing in despair.

It was no use for her to refuse to take the medicine, as Lu Yanshi ordered his men to force it down her throat.

The next day, Lu Yanshi announced the matter in the court.

This time, he didn't bring Lu Li with him.

He didn't want her to hear with her own ears how cruel her father was.

All the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.

The Queen Mother is so bold.

The evidence was conclusive, the Queen Mother herself pleaded guilty, and the court officials had no objection to how to deal with the Queen Mother.

It is only natural for the emperor to avenge his biological mother, and no one can say a word against him.

Lu Yanshi acted decisively and executed all the people from the Lu family who had participated in the child exchange. The rest were directly exiled back to the Queen Mother's hometown, Youyang City, and the Lu family was not allowed to set foot outside of Youyang for the rest of their lives.

Then he announced another important thing.

"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet has been cancelled and replaced with a coronation ceremony."

"Isn't this too hasty?" a court official questioned.

Lu Yanshi said, "Let's prepare first. We'll decide the exact date after Qin Tianjian figures it out."

In fact, what I want to do is to wait until the time comes to ask Lu Li, and then determine the time and choose a good day for double happiness.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, the court officials stopped talking. Anyway, no more money was being moved from the national treasury, and the emperor was in a bad mood, so they just went along with him.

…

In the harem, Lu Yuan was completely dumbfounded when she received the news.

She was still counting on the Queen Mother to help her turn the situation around, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother herself would be defeated.

The Empress Dowager killed my father's biological mother, and she was born to the Empress Dowager's niece. Would my father be angry with her because of this?

Lu Yuan began to feel uneasy.

Lu Qi heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that with the Queen Mother overthrown, Lu Yuan would behave herself and her mother would no longer follow her lead.

Concubine Hui is going to become the empress, so she has to go and congratulate her.

Thinking of this, she went to the Weiyang Palace.

She was not surprised to see her father, as her father was in Weiyang Palace every day. But why did her eldest sister Lu Yao come as well?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, My ninth sister is a blessed person, so I want to invite her to the princess's mansion first. Let me also share in her blessings." Lu Yao explained the purpose of his visit.

[Please let me go, please let me go, I want to visit the princess's mansion of the eldest sister! ]

Lu Li waved her hands and acted coquettishly in her father's arms, expressing her eagerness to go out and play.

She was tired of the scenery in the palace. Finally, the eldest princess was willing to take her out of the palace. How could she miss this opportunity?

Xia Shuyi had a headache.

This child is really playful.

"Father, Concubine Hui, don't worry, I will definitely send Xiaojiu back safely. Even if something happens to me, I will not let anything happen to Xiaojiu." Lu Yao made assurances repeatedly.

Her princess mansion was built, but she hadn't officially moved in yet. The first distinguished guest she wanted to invite was Lu Li.

Lu Li knows everything. If there is anything wrong with her princess's mansion, she can point it out to her and she can avoid risks in advance.

Just like choosing a prince consort before.

If it weren't for Lu Li, she wouldn't have been able to choose a husband as satisfactory as Pei Zhiyu.

Thinking of Pei Zhiyu, Lu Yao unconsciously smiled.

[Ahhhhh, please, father and mother, please let me go. I stay in the harem every day and I am almost depressed to death.]

[I can't go anywhere. Being a princess is so boring. 】

Lu Li kept wailing in her heart, mumbling, and repeatedly expressing her desire to leave the palace.

Lu Yanshi's ears started to itch when he heard this, and he had no choice but to compromise.

But he couldn't agree so easily.
