Chapter 153 It's related
The Queen raised her eyes inch by inch and looked at Emperor Hong Qi: "Your Majesty, your concubine..."
Emperor Hong Qi waited quietly for the queen to continue.
Jin Huaer, Yan Fu, Nanny Liang, the animal trainer, the handkerchief, the purse, the sleeping pills, the handprint booklet... The Queen had always remained calm and had never expected that Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou had secretly collected so much human and material evidence.
She was not allowed to refute at all.
She slowly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I also have my own difficulties."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Hong Qi's eyes were filled with disappointment.
Jiang Zhaoyue, Pei Jingzhou and others watched to see what the Queen was going to do.
The Queen said, "I am the Crown Prince's stepmother, so naturally I wish him well. However, the Crown Princess is incompetent in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting, and all she does every day is flaunt her beauty—"
"Empress!" Pei Jingzhou interrupted her unhappily: "Please be careful with your words!"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has always been self-disciplined and respectful. However, look at him now. Just because I said a few words to the Crown Princess, he was unhappy and treated me so rudely. He has no respect for elders and no respect for hierarchy!" Knowing that Emperor Hong Qi valued Pei Jingzhou, the Queen naturally did not dare to belittle Pei Jingzhou in the slightest.
But!
But!
But she could focus all her firepower on Jiang Zhaoyue: "Your Majesty, this is all because the Crown Princess is not virtuous or kind."
"What nonsense!" Pei Jingzhou immediately retorted.
The Queen turned to Pei Jingzhou and asked, "If not, why is there only the Crown Princess in the Crown Prince's harem?"
Pei Jingzhou said: "I am the master of my own backyard, so why not?"
"It's clearly the Crown Princess who is jealous and tyrannical, preventing the Crown Prince from choosing a concubine and having children, thus severing the continuation of the royal bloodline!" The Queen accuses Jiang Zhaoyue of this and says righteously, "Yet the Crown Prince repeatedly protects the Crown Princess and refuses to listen to any kind advice, leaving the Eastern Palace and its harem deserted, with no new brides and no offspring!
"As the Royal Madam, I will never allow such a thing to happen. I have no choice but to avoid the Crown Prince and quietly get rid of the Crown Princess to prevent her from harming the Crown Prince again!
“If you think about the royal family, it’s also a sin!
"Then I plead guilty.
"Your Majesty, please reprimand me!"
Without waiting for Emperor Hong Qi to speak, Pei Jingzhou sneered.
Emperor Hong Qi asked in surprise, "What are you laughing at, Prince?"
"Father, I am amused by the fact that the Queen regards committing a crime as an honor. This is truly rare in the world." Pei Jingzhou looked at the Queen with a smile, but his eyes were as cold as a blade.
The Queen's heart suddenly turned cold. She continued her attack, "What I did was for the good of the Crown Prince, the Emperor, the Great Jin, and the people of the Great Jin. I have a clear conscience."
"The Queen really cares about Dajin." Pei Jingzhou said.
"This is what I should do."
Pei Jingzhou then asked: "In that case, does the Queen intend to replace me?"
The queen was stunned.
Hong Qidi said, "Brother Yi, don't talk nonsense."
Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Pei Jingzhou quietly.
Pei Jing and others didn't know what Pei Jingzhou was going to do.
Pei Jingzhou asked, "The Empress said that the Crown Princess is unskilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and is neither virtuous nor wise. She only knows how to flaunt her beauty every day. Is that true?"
"That's right."
"So the Crown Princess is useless?"
"nature."
"If the Crown Princess, who is totally useless, can easily control me, the Crown Prince, then isn't I, the Crown Prince, even more useless?"
The Queen's mind was full of thoughts of belittling Jiang Zhaoyue and justifying her own behavior, and she didn't expect Pei Jingzhou to attack her like this.
"The Crown Princess's uselessness has cut off the continuation of the royal bloodline; then isn't my own uselessness a greater sin?" Pei Jingzhou questioned.
The queen was at a loss for words.
"You thought the Crown Princess was useless, so you wanted to get rid of her. Now you think I'm useless too, are you going to get rid of me next?!"
This was what the Queen had planned, so she was shocked.
"Father!" Pei Jingzhou turned to Emperor Hong Qi: "In a peaceful and prosperous age, crime is crime. No matter how extravagant the words are, it is still a crime and must be punished accordingly. Otherwise, it would be condoning the crime!"
The Queen became nervous: "Your Majesty——"
"Not to mention the people, even in the harem, if everyone follows the Queen's example and gets rid of anyone they dislike by shouting slogans like 'incomparably beautiful' and 'beneficial to the country and the people', will the concubines, princes and princesses in the harem be safe?" Pei Jingzhou interrupted the Queen.
"Your Majesty, your concubine——"
"Empress, you have treated me like this more than once."
The queen didn't know what Pei Jingzhou meant.
Pei Jingzhou took out a walnut from his arms and threw it to the side.
"Ah!" With a cry of pain, Yan Zhi, who had been hiding in the corner and eavesdropping, fell heavily to the ground. Realizing that everyone had discovered her, she quickly knelt down and saluted the emperor and others.
Pei Jingzhou looked at Emperor Hong Qi and said, "Father, Yan Zhi has evil intentions and strange behavior. She went to the Eastern Palace to seduce the Crown Princess several days ago but failed. I don't want her to attack other concubines and princesses in the harem again, so I deliberately expelled her from the capital. I didn't expect her to still stay in Shunning Palace."
This must be the Queen's work!
Early in the morning, Emperor Hong Qi received a lot of evidence from Pei Jingzhou, each of which proved the queen's evil deeds.
He was already furious.
But the Queen actually went against the Prince's wishes and secretly brought the evil-minded Yan Zhi back to Shunning Palace.
This is disregarding the safety of the concubines and princesses in the harem!
He said angrily, "Come here, send the queen to Qingshui Palace to await her fate."
Shimizu Palace!
Shimizu Palace!
The name sounds nice, but it is actually the well-known cold palace. Any concubine who entered there either died, went crazy, or became stupid.
Only then did the queen realize that she could not turn over. A huge fear overwhelmed her. She was dragged out of the hall by the palace servants, but her head was buzzing.
She is the queen!
She is the queen!
She is the most honorable queen of the Great Jin Dynasty!
How could you enter Qingshui Palace like this?
She pushed the palace maid aside and turned around to say, "Your Majesty, I lost my child because I saved you, and I will never be able to have children again. You owe me a favor!"
Emperor Hong Qi readily agreed and said, "Then I will repay you with a favor and imprison you in the Wenyang Palace."
Warming Palace?
Wenyang Palace is also a cold palace, so how is it better than Qingshui Palace?
The Queen suddenly burst into tears: "Your Majesty, is this how you treat me?"
Emperor Hong Qi said ruthlessly: "You brought this upon yourself."
"I just want the Yan family to have another queen! I just want a peaceful old age! Why don't you agree?!"
"You just stay as queen and become empress dowager peacefully. Everyone will respect you and no one will dare to look down on the Yan family. Why do you have to go through all this trouble? To put it bluntly, you are just greedy." Jiang Zhaoyue continued.
"What qualifications do you have to judge me?!" the queen turned around and scolded.
"Because she is the Crown Princess and you are a criminal." Pei Jingzhou continued.
"Take him away." said Emperor Hong Qi.
The palace maid pulled the queen again.
The queen turned her head and cursed: "Jiang Zhaoyue, don't be complacent. People like you will not have a good end!"
"Take him away!" Pei Jingzhou said angrily.
The palace maids quickly took the queen away.
Pei Jingzhou looked at Jiang Zhaoyue: "Don't listen to her."
"I definitely won't listen." Jiang Zhaoyue responded naturally.
Pei Jingzhou felt a little relieved.
Emperor Hong Qi sighed.
Yan Fu, Yan Zhi, Madam Liang and others quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Emperor Hong Qi and the Empress had been married for so many years, and he felt a little uncomfortable when something like this happened suddenly. He said tiredly, "Prince, I leave this to you. I will punish you severely."
"Yes, father." Pei Jingzhou accepted the order.
Emperor Hong Qi paused and said, "The Crown Princess and the Empress are both members of the imperial family. Family disgrace should not be made public. Find a reason and then announce it to the ministers."
"yes."
"Report to me later." Emperor Hong Qi stood up and left.
"Yes." Pei Jingzhou took Yan Fu and others to the Ministry of Justice.
It was not convenient for Jiang Zhaoyue to go, so he took Hongcao, Hongyao, Xiangqiao and others back to Muhuayuan, had lunch and took a nap.
After waking up, I sat by the window and looked at the withered yellow leaves falling, and lamented the arrival of winter with a rare sadness.
"Crown Princess." Hongyao's voice sounded outside the room.
"Come in." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Princess Consort, Miss Xiaolu is from Jinzhou." Hongyao said.
Jiang Zhaoyue had been very busy these days. When she knew Xiaolu had woken up, she ordered someone to look after her. She hadn't had time to check on her yet, so she asked in confusion, "What happened to the Jinzhou people?"
"Miss Qingluo is also from Jinzhou." Hongyao said.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked in surprise: "You mean she is related to Qingluo?"
