Chapter 569 Anger
"If you ask me, this Su guy should be cut into pieces. How dare he submit such a memorial?" Concubine Li also laughed.
"That's right, there is no evidence at all." Zhen Chongyi said.
Everyone looked at her, and she said this as if she was extremely regretful.
"Although Lord Su's words are extreme, they are not without reason. The Queen is indeed childless, and many concubines have indeed been injured in the harem in the past few years. It's just that these things, when put simply, are always wrong. Evidence is needed." Concubine Qian Shu said this casually, as if she was very reasonable but too lazy to be aggressive.
"Oh, the New Year has driven everyone crazy. It's a busy time, with the eldest princess getting married and the New Year. The Northwest has also won a great victory in suppressing bandits, and the emperor is too busy to care. This is where these villains take advantage of the situation."
"The Empress has made such a great contribution, but the Emperor hasn't had time to reward her yet. But there are rumors like this outside. Why? I don't know who in the harem is so capable. Even if something happens to the Empress, who can replace her? Why is Concubine Qian Shu's family education so messed up? Concubine Yang was so powerful back then, why didn't she replace Empress Dowager Feng? According to this, Empress Dowager Feng was childless, or even childless. Oh, yes, how many concubines and princes and princesses died in the harem during the time of the late emperor? Isn't it much more terrifying than it is now?"
"I don't know if this can be considered as the Queen's dereliction of duty. Or to put it simply, Queen Feng did it on purpose." Shen Chuliu said coldly.
"You! Concubine Jing, you are so bold! You are extremely treasonous! What you said is an accusation against Queen Duanjing!" Concubine Qian Shu stood up and pointed at Shen Chuliu.
"Oh, I was wrong to accuse Queen Duan Jing, but how come you, Concubine Qian Shu, were right to accuse the current queen? Why do you have two different standards for the same thing? Why do people in your Feng family have more noses or eyes than others?"
"You are disrespectful to your elders and you are unfilial!" Concubine Qian Shu said angrily.
"Then go tell the emperor." Shen Chuliu said coldly.
"You! You are so outrageous! You are so presumptuous! Someone, go and ask the Emperor to come. Concubine Jing is going to rebel!" Concubine Qian Shu's chest was shaking with anger.
Shen Chuliu sat steadily, looking forward to the emperor coming.
After all this turmoil in the harem, it’s time to have a result.
When Concubine Qian Shu's people went to invite the Emperor, the Empress also came out.
"You're making such a fuss so early in the morning. It's the first month of the year, don't you want to get better?"
Everyone stood up and greeted each other, then Concubine Qian Shu said, "Concubine Jing has no respect for her elders, is disrespectful to Empress Duan Jing, and speaks wildly. I cannot tolerate this."
"Since Her Majesty Qian Shu has already gone to invite the Emperor, why not wait until the Emperor arrives before I confess my guilt?" Shen Chuliu looked at the Queen.
"Please sit down, everyone. Since the emperor has been invited here, it's just as well. I also have something to say to the emperor. I'm sure you are all very anxious. It's been a while now, and everything should have a result, right?" The queen smiled, looking calm and composed.
She has lost some weight recently, but you can't tell because she dresses elegantly.
The minor concubines below, such as Concubine Zhuang, began to speak well of her again.
It was as if they had not existed during all this time they were walking around everywhere.
The emperor arrived quickly, and not only did the empress have something to say, the emperor had something to say too.
After everyone paid their respects, Concubine Qian Shu was the first to stand out and said generously that it was Concubine Jing who was disrespectful to Empress Dowager Feng.
After the emperor heard this, he looked at Shen Chuliu and said, "Empress Jing, is this true?"
"Your Majesty, this is true. But Concubine Qian Shu said half of it and kept the other half secret. Why don't Your Majesty listen to me?" Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"Since it exists, we must listen." The emperor waved his hand.
Shen Chuliu looked at Chi Su with a smile: "Go ahead."
Chi Su nodded yes, knelt in the hall, and told everything that had just happened, and there were basically no discrepancies.
"Okay, I understand." The emperor waved his hand.
Chi Su quickly stood up and stood beside Shen Chuliu again.
"What Concubine Jing said is true. The Queen has made great contributions." The Emperor suddenly said.
Everyone was stunned. Just now everyone ignored what Concubine Jing said.
Meritorious?
"Your Majesty is wise, and the Empress made a prompt decision to save the twelfth prince. That is the heir to the throne. When I first entered the palace, Concubine Cao was demoted for failing to protect the heir to the throne. I agree with that. This time, Concubine Xu is unlucky and cannot save both mother and child. The Emperor's oral order is contrary to the Empress's decision, and that is the Emperor's righteousness. But the Empress is the Emperor's legitimate wife. If the concubine has a difficult delivery, what should the Empress, the legitimate wife, do? If choosing a child is wrong, then what if choosing an adult? What should the court say now?"
"I heard that some people even said they wanted to depose the Queen. They are simply crazy! The Queen has never done anything wrong, but they dare to come up with all kinds of reasons. I'm afraid they are not doing it for any great cause, but just for their own selfish desires, right?"
"It is said that having many children brings happiness. The reason why the emperor has so many concubines in his harem is for selfish reasons. What's wrong with the queen saving the twelfth prince? This is a great achievement. However, after the New Year, before the emperor had time to praise them, a group of people under him acted like mad dogs. In my opinion, this is not only out of selfish desires, I'm afraid some of these people are trying to spy on the emperor's mind."
"Your Majesty should also be aware of this. The princes are all grown up, and I'm afraid that many people in the court are also grown up."
"Haha." The emperor laughed out loud: "Concubine Qian Shu accused you of disrespecting Empress Dowager Feng, but you came to accuse me of not rewarding the Empress in time. Please take a seat."
Shen Chuliu thanked the emperor and sat down: "Of course, I accept the accusation of Concubine Qian Shu. The premise is that Concubine Qian Shu's disrespect for the queen must also be counted. Otherwise, it's the same thing, only I am wrong, and I will not accept it."
"Concubine Jing, you are making excuses. How could I be disrespectful to the Queen?" Concubine Qian Shu said angrily.
"Okay." The emperor raised his hand: "This is my fault. I was in a hurry to celebrate the New Year and didn't deal with this matter."
"You, Queen, have been wronged. I apologize to you." The emperor said with a smile.
The Queen also smiled: "Since the Emperor has already apologized, I will not hold it against you. But of course, this matter cannot just be let go."
"Emei, tell the emperor what you have found out." The queen obviously did not intend to give the emperor much face this time.
If it were her later, she wouldn't feel anything if she was wronged, because she didn't care about this person, so she never cared about being taken advantage of.
But she still has a child, and the second princess was frightened these times, so she was a little annoyed.
The emperor could use her to fish, but she couldn't suffer this unexpected disaster in vain.
Again, as for the option of protecting the eldest or the youngest, the queen can only choose the heir to the throne.
So, she had to bear all of this even though she did nothing wrong. In other words, the queen was unhappy.
Since you are unhappy, there is no need to save face.
Of course, this is not just aimed at the emperor.
Queen: Did I spoil you?
Emperor: Tsk.
Princess Jing: It’s right.
