The queen hurriedly stepped forward to salute the emperor, and then said in a steady voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not guilty, why do you suddenly want to depose the concubine, does Your Majesty not even ignore the rules passed down from your ancestors?" ”

The rules of the ancestors are naturally something that cannot be easily abolished.

If the mother of a country can be discarded at will, and if she wants to abolish it, then the queen is too worthless.

And the emperor suddenly ordered this time, without even discussing it with the officials, the queen could think of what kind of situation the emperor was going to face in the court with her toes.

"Just three months of confinement for you, how long has it been since you were free? You have used your evil thoughts on a child in the womb, and you have caused Concubine Lan to have a miscarriage, how can I tolerate you? The emperor said coldly.

The queen wrinkled her eyebrows, and sure enough, it was the same as she thought.

But what she didn't do, she wouldn't admit it, so she only said lightly: "This matter was not done by the concubine, and the concubine didn't admit it." I don't know which god killed it, but it is hateful to slander the concubine like this. ”

The emperor looked at the queen's pale face, and didn't care, and raised his voice: "Come on, bring it." ”

As the emperor's words fell, Zhang De brought up the sneaky palace maid outside Concubine Lan's bedroom, and Yang Yi brought up the palace maid who pushed Concubine Lan into the water.

Seeing the palace maid beside Zhang De, the queen's eyes flickered, but she quickly calmed down.

The emperor looked at the queen and said lightly: "Queen, these two people, you know each other." ”

"She's the maid in my palace, I don't know her." The queen pointed to the palace maid next to Zhang De and the palace maid next to Yang Yi, and said lightly.

"I thought you were going to say you didn't recognize both." The emperor opened his mouth and said sarcastically.

"Even if you recognize it, what? Yesterday, the concubine sent her to the palace of Concubine Lan to spread the word, but she never returned, but now it seems that His Majesty has detained it. The queen said calmly.

"Yesterday, Concubine Lan asked someone to push into the water and had a miscarriage, when you, the palace maid, looked sneakily outside Concubine Lan's dormitory, and asked Zhang De to detain it, what do you say?"

"Concubine Lan had a miscarriage? The concubine really didn't know that she was pregnant. The queen looked surprised, looked at the little palace maid and said, "Why are you sneaking around outside Concubine Lan's bedroom?" Still not from the truth? ”

The little palace maid was so frightened that she kowtowed again and again, choked and said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, yesterday the slave maid came to Concubine Lan's dormitory, but found that the dormitory was a little lively, noisy and chaotic, the slave and maid were worried about what had happened, and did not dare to rush forward, so they watched from a distance, but before the slave and maid figured things out, they were arrested. ”

The queen originally sent her to find out the news, and she didn't want her to harm anyone, so she didn't say it with a weak heart.

The emperor sneered, didn't say anything, looked at the other palace maid, and said, "What about you?" Do you have something to say? ”

The palace maid's face was pale, her expression was frightened, she had obviously been interrogated by Yang Yi, and when she heard the emperor's questioning at this moment, she immediately cried loudly: "Niangniang, Niangniang help, the slave maid is wronged, the slave maid really accidentally pushed Concubine Lan Niangniang into the water." ”

She cried bitterly, saying that she didn't mean it, but she wanted the queen to save her life, doesn't this show that the queen ordered Concubine Lan to kill?

This move made the queen's face suddenly darken.

The queen almost scolded uneducated.

With a cold face, he said, "You are a, you framed this palace." ”

"The slave didn't have it, the slave didn't say anything, the mother ......" The palace maid kept shaking her head and crying, looking pitiful.

The emperor was noisy, so he waved his hand and asked Yang Yi and Zhang De to take people down.

"Your Majesty, you and I have been married for decades, you can't listen to and believe because a palace maid has no evidence, what the concubine has not done, the concubine does not admit it."

The emperor looked at the queen's righteous words, and the corners of his mouth showed a touch of mockery.

He didn't care about the queen's words, he also knew that the queen would not admit her guilt so easily, so he just said lightly: "Don't say whether Concubine Lan's matter was done by you for the time being, Concubine Li's death back then was always done by you!" ”

The queen has thought of many ways for the emperor to question, but she has not thought of this.

Hearing the emperor mention Concubine Li, a trace of weakness and panic flashed in her eyes, and she quickly calmed down.

However, the reaction was only a moment, but it also confirmed the speculation in the emperor's heart for many years.

"Since you have done such a thing, there is one and there are two, even if there is no two, it can't erase your sins back then, so why are you pretending to be pitiful here at this time?"

The queen was silent for a moment, but she heard the emperor say: "Say, who was the conspirator with you back then?" ”

A flash of surprise flashed in the queen's eyes, accomplice?

She looked at the emperor with puzzled eyes: "The concubine doesn't understand what the emperor is saying." ”

She really didn't understand.

What happened back then was done by her and the prince, the emperor's accomplice, referring to the prince?

Thinking of this, the queen's heart tightened, and without waiting for the emperor to speak, she said: "What happened back then was done by the concubine alone, and there was no accomplice, since the emperor knew that it was the concubine who did it, he should have found out the truth, so why bother asking?" ”

Now that Yu'er is bitter enough, she is locked up in the Zongren Mansion, and most of her side is also fierce and unlucky, and she can't pull him in anymore.

The emperor watched the queen's change in an instant, and he had a bottom in his heart, how could he not know the role played by the prince in the affairs of the year? It was precisely because he knew that the last time Zhuang Jingcheng made a move, he didn't stop it.

Even what happened to the prince in the Zongren Mansion, he also knew.

Although the prince is also his son, what the prince did made him feel cold, so he didn't want to protect the prince, and even if it weren't for the fact that he was the prince's father, he would have retaliated against the prince in a more ruthless way than Zhuang Jingcheng.

After all, the crown prince caused him to lose his beloved concubine Lifei, and Zhuang Jingcheng lost his mother who loved him.

Seeing that the queen was worried about the prince, and then admitted the events of the year, the emperor had no intention of pursuing it, left and right, many things, it was enough to know it in his heart.

So the emperor turned around and walked out directly, and said lightly: "Since you have admitted that you have a bad mind, there is nothing to say, go to the cold palace, don't let yourself be too embarrassed, it's better to be decent." ”

If you go by yourself, you will naturally not be embarrassed, but if you let the emperor's people do it, it is destined to be embarrassing.

The queen sneered when she heard this, "The concubines have all been abolished, and they have been degraded to the cold palace, so what is the decency and embarrassment to speak of?" ”

Now she is just sad.

Immediately, the queen said: "What happened back then was indeed done by the concubine, but yesterday's incident of Concubine Lan falling into the water and having a miscarriage has nothing to do with the concubine, and the concubine was wronged." ”

When the emperor heard this, he stopped and looked back at her, as if waiting for her to continue.

The queen sneered: "If the concubine does it, she will admit it, but if she doesn't do it, she won't admit it no matter what." A few days ago, when the concubine was in the imperial garden, she met Concubine Lan and Su Jinhan for a walk, and said a few words to her, asking her why Her Majesty shared half of her harem power, why she didn't want it, they were all cheaper Concubine De, and then she didn't contact Concubine Lan again, but Concubine Lan had an accident. ”

The queen said, the smile on her lips was extremely sarcastic.

The reason why Concubine De was named Concubine De was because she was generous, virtuous and virtuous, so she was named Concubine De, one of the four concubines, but now the queen's words are obviously implying that Concubine De is not as good as she shows, but a villain who is secretly scheming.

The emperor's face was slightly gloomy, and he said coldly: "Don't use your vicious mind to speculate on others, you have calculated all your life, and it doesn't mean that others are the same." Concubine De is virtuous and virtuous, and her character is obvious to all, and it is not something that you can slander if you frame it in vain. ”

When the queen heard this, she sneered, "Dogs that can bite people don't bark, if she is really that good, why would Concubine Lan still have an accident?" I knew she wasn't simple, but I didn't expect her to be so powerful. ”

Isn't that amazing? Obviously, Concubine Lan's affairs have nothing to do with her, but Concubine De didn't even have to come forward, so the emperor's attention was all on her, isn't it powerful? This framing ability is much better than her.

"No matter what you say today, your end is already doomed. The cold palace is your best place to go. After the emperor finished speaking, he didn't stay anymore and left with Zhang Fuhai.

And when the emperor turned around, he couldn't help but have ripples in his heart.

Concubine De ...... It had been a long time since he had paid attention to this overly quiet and virtuous concubine.

The queen watched the emperor leave, desperate in her heart, and staggered to the ground.

The chamberlain who wanted to take her to the cold palace saw that it was not easy to step forward and use force, so he could only stand aside silently.

"Mother, please don't embarrass the minions." After a long time, the father-in-law who was the leader stepped forward and said softly.

Hearing this, the queen raised her head, and finally stood up under the service of the palace maid and took the initiative to walk out.

She is the queen, even if she is deposed and fails, she has her own pride, and no matter how embarrassed she is, she will not show it in front of others.

The queen was deposed, and then entered the cold palace, while Concubine Lan had a miscarriage, and Su Jinhan and Bai Qiuluo were left in the palace to take care of her.

After the queen was deposed, Concubine Lan's palace welcomed a guest, who was Concubine De.

"When I first heard that my sister had a miscarriage, I was very surprised, so I thought I would come and see you, is my sister okay?" Concubine De looked at Concubine Lan, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and asked with concern.

Concubine Lan shook her head slightly, and said softly: "Thank you sister for your concern, I'm fine, thanks to Your Majesty's kindness, I left Jinhan here to accompany me, I can also have someone to talk to, otherwise I will really die of coldness." ”

"Jinhan is a good boy, it's good that she can accompany you." Concubine De did not hide her admiration for Su Jinhan and chuckled.

Then Concubine De stayed for a while, and when she saw that Concubine Lan's face was tired, she left.

When he left, he also told Su Jinhan to take good care of Concubine Lan.
