Although Qi Tian was afraid, he still did not move aside: "His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the imperial study without permission. If everyone is like Miss Nangong, what will happen to His Majesty's safety?"
This one sentence left the Queen Mother speechless.
Uncle Nangong was already in the wrong, so naturally he didn't dare to say anything nonsense at this time.
The Queen Mother glared at Qi Tian angrily and said, "I am your Majesty's mother, how can I harm him?"
"Of course the Queen Mother wouldn't do that, but some people can't say that. After all, His Majesty was in danger last night." When Qi Tian said this, he deliberately looked at Uncle Nangong.
Nangong Guojiu was extremely embarrassed: "Queen Mother, what do you think?"
"I just don't believe that I can't see the emperor." The empress dowager was furious and walked straight inside.
Although Qi Tian wanted to stop them, he couldn't attack the Queen Mother, so he could only stand in front of her and keep backing away.
"Your Majesty, I couldn't stop the Queen Mother. Please punish me!" Qi Tian immediately pleaded guilty.
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Back off."
"yes."
The Queen Mother was furious: "Emperor, do I need to inform you when I see you?"
The emperor looked at me quietly and said, "If it was before, of course it wouldn't be necessary, but if someone uses the guise of the Queen Mother to send my guards away and plot against me, then don't you think I should be more cautious?"
The queen mother was speechless and could only sullenly say: "Weiwei is a child with no sense of propriety. She is indeed too much. I will teach her a lesson. Where is she?"
"Heavenly Prison." The emperor replied indifferently.
"What, Your Majesty has locked Weiwei in the Heavenly Prison?" Uncle Nangong asked without even thinking.
He has only one daughter, Nangong Wei. He has held her in the palm of his hand since she was young and given the best. When has he ever let her suffer such an injustice?
The emperor's face suddenly turned cold: "Why, didn't Qi Tian explain to the emperor's uncle what happened last night?"
Nangong was so frightened that he trembled and immediately admitted his fault: "Your Majesty is punishing me because I doted on Weiwei too much, causing her to do such a mistake. I will definitely discipline her strictly."
The Queen Mother was also a little angry and accused: "Your Majesty, Weiwei is a woman after all, how can you lock her up in the prison?"
"Then, mother, do you think I should deal with it this way? I drugged the emperor of a country, but I will not punish her just because she is the daughter of the emperor's uncle?" the emperor asked in return.
The Queen Mother looked a little embarrassed: "Then this punishment is too severe. After all, Weiwei loves you. She just wants to be your woman, right?"
“If the daughters of other ministers follow suit and drug me, will I not punish them but reward them?
I think the punishment is too light. If the medicine she gave me was not for sexual intercourse, but was meant to kill me, then what my mother would be seeing right now would be my dead body.
"Mother, you should know that I hate the despicable method of drugging the patient the most. If it weren't for the fact that she called you aunt, I would have sent her directly to the military camp for what she did last night!" The emperor's voice was cold and merciless.
If they are sent to the military camp, then they will become the female branch of the army, to comfort all the soldiers. How is they different from the women in the brothel?
Uncle Nangong was also scared to death and extremely angry, but he didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal.
The Queen Mother was immediately furious: "Emperor, you are going too far. How can you say that Weiwei is also your cousin?"
"So what if she's my cousin? Since ancient times, the emperor has been guilty of the same crime as the common people. I know what my mother is thinking, but today I can tell you that I will never marry Nangong Wei!" The emperor's voice was cold, solemn and serious, and there was no room for doubt.
"Emperor, how dare you threaten me? Don't you forget how you got your throne?" the Queen Mother accused angrily.
The emperor sneered: "My mother has indeed contributed a lot to my being able to sit in this position. But if it weren't for the emperor's uncle giving way to me, do you think that with the power of you and the Nangong family, you can let me sit in this position?
From the very beginning, I have not been interested in this throne. If my mother feels that I am not worthy of this position, then I will abdicate.
Now I have no concubines, and no children in the harem. If my mother wants to appoint another prince, she has to ask my uncle whether he agrees.
The Queen Mother also knows the temper of the Emperor's uncle. If he wants to fight, no one in the entire Cangyue Kingdom can be his opponent. When he ascends the throne to become the emperor, the Queen Mother will probably have to spend the rest of her life with a quiet and peaceful life.
So please think carefully before you speak. After all, you have been indifferent to me over the years. Don't let the little mother-son relationship between you and me be exhausted!"
Every word, every word is heartbreaking.
The empress dowager, who was originally angry and resentful, was suddenly struck by lightning and was so scared that she dared not speak.
She never expected that the emperor would actually say he wanted to abdicate.
If he was no longer the emperor, even if he was the empress dowager, how could the regent tolerate her with his personality, and how could she dare to give orders to the regent.
The Queen Mother knew better than anyone that the reason why she gave the position of Regent to her son was largely because of her son's relationship with Ye Xingchen.
The little power she and the Nangong family had was nothing to be afraid of in the face of the absolute strength of the Regent.
As long as the regent wants, the throne will be within his grasp. What will happen to me, the empress dowager, and the Nangong family at that time?
After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers, not to mention that the regent is a heartless person.
Uncle Nangong was so frightened that his face turned pale. If the regent ascended the throne, the Nangong family would be really finished. Being a minister with a tail between his legs was not as comfortable as being the emperor's uncle.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is all my fault. I didn't discipline her properly. This is Weiwei's fault. No matter how Your Majesty punishes Weiwei, I have no complaints.
The Queen Mother is just too concerned. In fact, she cares a lot about Your Majesty. Don't let Wei Wei, who doesn't know how to behave, hurt the relationship between you and the Queen Mother." Nangong Guojiu immediately advised.
The Queen Mother also reacted and quickly gave in: "It was my fault that I didn't think it through. Even though Weiwei is the legitimate daughter of the Nangong family, she should be punished for plotting against Your Majesty.
I will not care about how Your Majesty punishes me. I just hope you can untie the knot in your heart. After all, you are my only son, and I hope you will be well in the future.
You have suffered too much over the years. I shouldn't question you over such a trivial matter. From now on, you can decide for yourself about the affairs of the court and the harem."
The emperor's stern expression finally eased a little: "Thank you, mother."
The empress dowager dared not stay, for fear that she would offend the emperor and make him want to abdicate, so she left immediately.
Uncle Nangong didn't dare to say anything more and left the palace in disgrace.
Qi Tian gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Your Majesty's move of retreating to advance is really powerful. Now the Queen Mother will never dare to interfere with your Majesty's decision again."
The new emperor Leng Yehan raised his lips in sarcasm: "Do you think I am retreating to advance?"
Qi Tian was shocked: "Your Majesty, do you really want to------"
"I would rather be like my uncle, a free and easy person who doesn't care about the court and disputes. But I was born into the royal family and I have no choice.
Someone has to take this responsibility, so let me do it. At least as long as I am in power, no one will dare to touch Xingchen or the Ye family." The new emperor Leng Yehan sighed.
