Chapter 389 Impeachment of the Deposed

Queen Jiang Xinyue's heart seemed to be blocked by a huge stone. Looking at Concubine Liang lying lifeless on the bed, her eyes could not help but turn red.

Seeing this, the emperor put his arm around his shoulders and invited his own imperial physician, Hu Yuanzheng, to come: "Doctor Hu, no matter how expensive the herbs are, you must save Concubine Liang."

In just one night, the news spread in the palace. It was said that the Empress was jealous of Concubine Liang, so she killed her.

The Ganoderma Lucidum was sent by Yue'er. If Concubine Liang could not be saved, she would have to bear this stigma for the rest of her life.

There was no shortage of smart people in the palace. If the Empress really wanted to kill Concubine Liang, there were many other ways. Why did she poison the Ganoderma Lucidum she sent and draw suspicion on herself?

But there are more dark minds in the palace, and people who want to watch their masters in high positions fall into the quagmire. They know clearly in their hearts that the queen cannot harm Concubine Liang, but they echo the slander of those who have ulterior motives.

So the rumors will intensify and get out of control.

But they misunderstood the emperor and Jiang Xinyue. These two are not ruthless characters who will let dirty water splash on themselves.

Concubine Liang was poisoned and unconscious the day before, and the news was only circulated among the palace maids and eunuchs. Early the next morning, the palace maids and eunuchs who spread the most vicious rumors were arrested.

There were suddenly fewer palace servants in each palace, and no one dared to talk about it casually anymore.

The eldest princess returned home after three days and was so sad when she heard the bad news. The emperor asked her and her husband to stay in the palace temporarily and leave the palace after Concubine Liang was out of danger.

Shun'an Palace -

Jiang Xinyue patted the eldest princess on the shoulder: "Since this matter involves me, the person behind the scenes just wants to drag me into the water. I will definitely give you and your mother an explanation." The

eldest princess wiped her tears, her eyes were sore and painful.

She sobbed twice, calmed down and said: "Empress Zhen, Yu'er believes in you, and I believe that mother also believes in you. If you want to harm mother, why do you need to use such a despicable method? It's just that the person behind the scenes is really vicious. He wants to alienate the relationship between you and mother, and at the same time, he wants Yu'er to hate you and take revenge on you."

A fifteen-year-old girl can see through it. This method is really not smart.

But it is still very effective.

Although the emperor and she stopped the rumors in time, there are still some well-informed families in the court.

The Jiang family climbed too fast, and there are many people who want to suppress it.

During the morning court session, the censors from the Imperial Academy had already impeached Jiang Xinyue, using the same old clichés, saying that she was jealous, or that she was petty and incapable of handling important tasks, and they pleaded with the emperor to depose Jiang Xinyue and appoint a tolerant and generous concubine as the queen.

As for who this "tolerant and generous" concubine was, the families would have to wait until the emperor deposed the queen before they could compete for her.

Jiang Yankun had entered the inner cabinet years later and became a bachelor of the inner cabinet. He was trained by Master Jing as the next chief assistant of the inner cabinet.

In the past, Jiang Yankun was venomous and mean, and he would spray those words at everyone he met. Master Jing did not allow him to be used anymore, as the chief assistant of a country must convince others with virtue.

Old Master Jing glanced at the official Yan Yushi and said, "So, Lord Yan, who do you think will be the next empress?" The old master

's eyes were too kind and gentle. Yan Yushi looked at an official in the front row and said, "I think Tong Xiuyuan and Shi Xiuyi are both suitable. They were both concubines who entered the palace when the emperor first ascended the throne. They have been obedient for more than ten years and have never been jealous. In terms of seniority and character, they are better than the empress. . Moreover, the Tong family is a family of the Ministry of Industry. Tong Xiuyuan's father repaired the water conservancy project last year, benefiting countless people. The emperor should reward him. Shi Xiuyi is the legitimate daughter of the Zhenbei General. The Zhenbei Army has repeatedly made military exploits on the border. The Zhenbei General has made indispensable contributions. The emperor cannot let the old ministers down! "

Moreover, Tong Xiuyuan and Shi Xiuyi are both victims of the Defei murder case. Based on this point, the emperor should also compensate them.

The Zhenbei General is guarding the border and is not in the court, but officials who are on good terms with the Zhenbei General's Mansion have expressed their approval.

As for Tong Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, he and Jiang Yankun have never been on good terms, and he has been scolded by him for being a dog. Jiang Xinyue is unlucky, and he is the happiest.

But on the surface, she still looked humble: "No, no, no, the little girl is calm and indifferent. She just wants to live a peaceful and stable life in the palace until the end of her life. She is gentle and doesn't have such big ambitions."

Jiang Yankun just wanted to curse!

What does it mean?

Tong Xiuyuan is gentle, not fighting, and has no ambitions, but her daughter is domineering, competitive, and extremely ambitious!

Master Jing held back Jiang Yankun, who was about to run away, with a smile on his lips: "Your Majesty, since Minister Tong said so, Tong Xiuyuan is not in the scope of consideration. Although Yan Yushi has good intentions, he cannot force her. As for Shi Xiuyi, if I remember correctly, she was injured by Concubine De and will never have children in this life. What is Yan Yushi thinking when he recommended her as the queen?"

A person with a physical defect cannot be the queen of a country, and a person who can never give birth to a child is even less likely to be the queen mother.

If Yan Yushi did it on purpose, the emperor could punish him.

Jiang Yankun finally seized the opportunity and pointed his two fingers at Yan Yushi: "You old thief Yan, you actually have ulterior motives and deliberately want to prevent the emperor from giving birth to a legitimate son. Are you a spy sent by the enemy?"

Only the enemy country is unwilling to see the Great Yan Dynasty prosper and the emperor and empress live in harmony.

If this crime is proven, Yan Yushi will be dead.

He immediately knelt on the ground with his five limbs prostrated: "Your Majesty is wise. I am absolutely loyal to Your Majesty and the Great Yan. I will do my best and die for them. I... I really don’t know... Then... and... and Shufei. Shufei is the daughter of Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Personnel. She... she is also well-educated and has been in the palace longer than Tong Xiuyuan. She is also very suitable... very suitable..."

"No, no, no, no, no..."

Jiang Hewei's eyes widened in horror, and his lips were about to smoke. He waved his hands and said, "Don't talk nonsense. My daughter, my family and I fully support the Empress. Although the Empress has not been in the palace for a long time, she already has four princes and six princes, and now there is another one in her belly. The late emperor's ancestors taught that the greatest contribution of the concubines in the harem is to expand the royal family. The Empress will soon have three heirs. If she is not suitable to be the Empress, I really don't know who is suitable."

He expressed his attitude: "Shufei is not smart or diligent. If she becomes the Empress, Yan Yushi, don't scare me to death." Oh

my God!

What's going on?

Why did they suddenly nominate Shufei?

The title of one of the four concubines was obtained by the Empress Dowager for her daughter!

The Jiang family didn't want to be enemies with the Empress, and he didn't want to offend Jiang Yankun, the old fox with a poisonous mouth.

He wanted to live a few more years.
