Chapter 297: No tears until the coffin is seen

Seeing that the Empress Dowager refused to admit it, the Queen spoke up.

"Mother, I forgot to tell you that the maids in Chonghua Palace said that they heard these rumors from Nanny Ji."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her pale face turned black again. She turned her head and stared at Nanny Ji beside her, as if to confirm the truth of the matter with her.

Nanny Ji bit her lips in regret and nodded.

"Old Ji, you are so confused!" The Empress Dowager cried out.

"I just want these to spread faster..."

At this point, Nanny Ji covered her mouth belatedly.

[Tsk tsk tsk, the villains all died because they were too stupid! ] Xia Miaoyuan looked at the collapsed Empress Dowager and complained in her heart.

"Zhengqi, I was confused for a moment!"

The Queen Mother cried bitterly.

"Please forgive me this time!"

"I won't dare to do it again!"

The Queen Mother cried, grabbing the corner of Xia Zhengqi's robe with both hands.

Xia Zhengqi dodged it.

"Zhengqi, please don't abandon me, let alone kill me, otherwise you will be accused of being unfilial!"

"Those censors and people will all blame you!"

The Queen Mother cried, as if every word was filled with her deep emotions.

If you don't know, you will definitely be moved after watching the Queen Mother's performance.

[Here we go again! I've shown you how to use the filial piety kidnapping trick! ]

The Queen Mother's trick is both a filial piety kidnapping trick and a way to advance by retreating.

The Queen Mother was betting that her crime of spreading rumors was not punishable by death, nor would she be deposed.

She took the initiative to say that she should be sentenced to death or deposed, so it would be difficult for Xia Zhengqi to punish her severely.

The Queen Mother looked at Xia Zhengqi with some worry, and Xia Zhengqi gave her a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, mother, there are more ways to deal with the Queen Mother of a country than just deposing and killing her." Xia Zhengqi's voice was as cold as frost in winter, which made people shiver.

The Queen Mother looked at Xia Zhengqi in surprise.

She took the initiative to say that she should be sentenced to death and deposed, but she didn't expect that Xia Zhengqi would not play by the rules.

Xia Zhengqi then changed to a relaxed tone and said slowly: "The Empress Dowager Jiang of Great Xia has requested to go to Fanyin Temple and spend the rest of her life in the temple, praying for the country and chanting scriptures, in order to liberate the souls of tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the northern border."

"I agree!"

"From now on, the Empress Dowager will move into Fanyin Temple and must not leave the temple."

The Empress Dowager shouted out of control: "No!"

"I was just bored and talked nonsense, why should I be punished like this?!"

Xia Zhengqi glared at the Empress Dowager with cold eyes: "Empress Dowager, do you really think that I only know that you are spreading rumors?"

"In the past, you framed the Empress many times. The time three and a half years ago, you even killed her and almost killed Ruoyu on the road."

"If Ruoyu and Miao'er hadn't been lucky, they would have died outside the palace long ago!"

[Huh, it makes me angry just thinking about it! 】Xia Miaoyuan will never forget how critical the situation was on the day she first came through the book.

She almost became the youngest child to die.

"And the matter of harming Concubine Zhou and taking away her child, do you really think that I believe that Concubine Jiang did it alone?"

"Without your help, how could she have done it so carefully?"

"Empress Dowager, what have you done? Don't you have any idea in your mind?"

"I have spared your life, which is already the utmost kindness!"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager seemed to have her soul sucked out, and she was completely paralyzed on the ground.

[You deserve it for your mischief! ] Xia Miaoyuan looked at the Empress Dowager triumphantly.

"Concubine Li!" Xia Zhengqi paused and continued.

"As a concubine in the harem, she was vicious and framed the empress. She was demoted to a concubine and moved to the cold palace."

"Lipin is immoral and unworthy of raising a prince. The eighth prince will be raised by Concubine Lu."

[The emperor is awesome! ]

[Lipin is stupid and bad! She should have been sent to the cold palace long ago. ]

"Your Majesty, please have mercy! I can't live without the eighth prince!" Lipin, who was kneeling beside, shouted at the top of her lungs after hearing Xia Zhengqi's punishment of her.

But Xia Zhengqi acted as if he hadn't heard it, and walked out with the empress and daughter.

Xia Miaoyuan was held in Xia Zhengqi's arms. She looked at Xia Zhengqi's resolute profile and was very excited.

[My father is so handsome! He is handsome in appearance and he is also handsome in doing things! 】

【Now Daddy is really powerful and decisive, and he is no longer the timid emperor in the books. 】

【I think that our Great Xia has a wise ruler like Daddy, and the future is promising! 】

Xia Zhengqi listened to his daughter's praise silently, and he was so happy that even his steps became lighter.

When he was about to leave Shoukang Palace, Xia Zhengqi stopped and told Debao: "Block the news first. The Empress Dowager and Lipin will deal with it secretly."

【Is Daddy planning to do something big? 】 Xia Miaoyuan didn't understand what Xia Zhengqi meant for a moment.

The next day, Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin went to the main hall to study as usual.

The two sisters were in a good mood, holding hands and humming nursery rhymes, and walked in.

As soon as they walked into the classroom and sat down at their seats, Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou, who were sitting at the back desk, cast arrogant glances at them.

Feng Manman was the first to speak: "Oh, a disaster is about to happen, and you are still so happy!"

Liang Zhirou sighed and said: "That's right, it's pitiful!"

Xia Miaoyuan turned around, deliberately pretending to be childish and innocent, and asked foolishly: "Are you talking about me?"

Feng Manman smiled arrogantly: "Yes, I'm talking about you!"

"What's wrong with me? Why are you talking about me?" Xia Miaoyuan blinked his big eyes and continued to ask.

Feng Manman said sarcastically: "Little thing. Don't you think that the crisis will be resolved if the emperor goes to Kunning Palace for a meal."

"This is just the emperor considering the overall situation."

"Little do you know that a catastrophe is about to come to your Kunning Palace!"

Liang Zhirou said from the side: "Oh, how pitiful!"

[You two little grandchildren, don't you know that your dear grandmother, the Empress Dowager, is finished? ]

Xia Miaoyuan still had a silly look on her face, but she was already very happy in her heart.

[Hahahaha! Look at how silly you two are. ]

[Then this princess will play with you! 】

Xia Miaoyuan thought of this and deliberately pretended to be scared, and asked with a trembling voice: "The catastrophe? What is it?"

Feng Manman looked at Liang Zhirou with a gloating look, and then said in a sinister tone: "You don't even know this!"

"The catastrophe is that your mother and your brothers, as well as you, and your grandparents' family, will all be finished!"

When she said the last sentence, Feng Manman deliberately moved closer to Xia Miaoyuan's face and emphasized her tone.

Xia Miaoyuan used her best acting skills, shuddered as naturally as possible, and then said cowardly: "What can I do?"

"Will I die?"

"When the time comes, will you help me?"

As she said this, she stretched out her two little hands and pretended to wipe her tears.

At this time, Xiao Wanyin's stomach hurt from trying so hard to hold back her laughter, and her shoulders were shaking.

"Xiao Wanyin, what's wrong with you?" Liang Zhirou asked curiously.
