The queen suppressed her emotions at first, but when she hugged the second prince and watched the prince die with her own eyes, the queen couldn't control her emotions at all and started crying.
The emperor looked on with an indifferent expression and ordered, "Take the second prince away and send him to Fahua Temple for salvation and a good burial."
The queen refused to let go, and stepped forward and knelt in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, please let the child stay here for a little longer, please."
"You don't love him and you make him suffer. Are you still going to prevent him from going to the Paradise?" The emperor looked at her indifferently, with disgust in his eyes.
The queen ultimately failed to keep the child and was taken away.
She cried hysterically, but no one sympathized.
Then, Imperial Physician Chen couldn't stand the beating anymore, so he confessed everything he knew, and was dragged in. He told everything about how he helped the queen to conceive, protect the fetus, and how he deceived the prince after he was born.
But he didn't recruit the Queen Mother, he just told him that the Queen Mother would take care of his family and that the Queen Mother would take care of him. As long as he took on all the charges, the matter would end on him.
After hearing this, the emperor closed his eyes and was very angry. He was angry that the queen had to conceive this child in order to have a child, but in the end it had such consequences. He was even more sad. She was sad that he lost his legitimate son. He suffered for several days after he was born. What's wrong with him for leaving?
The queen sat blankly, knowing what her fate would be, and said no more.
Then, everyone in the palace was cleared. He looked at the queen and asked, "Now that the child has been destroyed by you, will you regret it?"
Hearing this, the Queen raised her eyes and then smiled foolishly, "Regret? Isn't this caused by the Emperor?"
When the emperor heard this, he was a little angry. He narrowed his eyes and stared at her, "Do you think this is my fault?"
"Isn't it your fault? I just wanted a child, but you refused to give it to me. I love the emperor deeply. Ever since I entered the palace, I have been looking forward to giving birth to a son for you and me. But the emperor, ask yourself, what did you do to me? mine?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment and was shocked by her accusation. She had begged to marry him as his concubine as soon as she had hair extensions. She was indeed sincere and sincere, but now she has become like this.
"I'm just preventing you from getting pregnant for the time being, and I don't plan to prevent you from having children for the rest of your life." He sighed.
"Then when does the Emperor plan to give birth to me? When I am older, or when you are in your old age? The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, I can't afford to wait." She said, choked with sobs, and she was sad just thinking about it. memory.
Doesn't she want to love the child? She thought about it more than anyone else. During the seven months of pregnancy, she looked forward to the healthy birth of the child day and night. Like the concubine De and the eldest prince, mother and child were together, so that she would not be lonely in the palace late at night with no one to tell her.
She hated even more that Concubine De was pregnant at the right time and was able to give birth to a child. She also had the emperor's preference, and everything that was good was hers.
The emperor looked at the queen with complicated eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing her crying and complaining about her grievances, he realized that he was also wrong.
"Are you doing what you did today to frame Concubine De?" he asked.
The queen didn't say anything, just laughed and looked at him mockingly.
The emperor felt uncomfortable with such a look and guessed the answer. In this case, he didn't have to show mercy.
"Since you are stubborn and have done this kind of thing, if I don't deal with it, I won't be able to calm down my anger. From now on, you will be deposed from the throne and moved to the cold palace. You will not be able to leave unless you are summoned."
As soon as he said this, the Queen Mother came in angrily.
"The Ai family disagrees!"
The emperor frowned when he heard this, but had to step forward and salute, "Mother."
"Do you still have the mother-in-law of the Ai family in your eyes? I'm afraid you have long wanted to drive the Ai family out of the palace, right?" The queen mother stared at the emperor coldly and with anger.
The emperor was helpless, "My son doesn't dare. It's just that the queen's actions are ridiculous and abominable, and her methods are cruel. She also intends to murder the prince and frame the concubines. This move is really too abominable. If the son doesn't deal with it, it will be difficult to convince the public!"
"Who did the Queen falsely accuse? Is there any evidence?" the Queen Mother asked.
The emperor frowned, he had seen it with his own eyes, he was the evidence, but the queen mother had to come up with the evidence herself, wouldn't it be ridiculous.
"Mother, I have made my own decision on this matter." The emperor refused to give in.
"Okay, if you are deposed, the Ai family will become a monk and tell the world that the emperor persecuted the aunt's mother. Aren't you afraid that the world's literati will criticize you verbally and write down the emperor, and spread it to future generations, accusing you of being disrespectful and unfilial and persecuting the aunt's mother?"
The emperor gritted his teeth after hearing this. He was even more angry at the empress dowager's intimidation, and he was even more disgusted with the empress in his heart.
"What does the Queen Mother want to do?" The Emperor looked at the Queen Mother with a mocking smile. The confrontation between mother and son was already obvious.
The old ministers support the Queen Mother, but he still cannot get all the real power at the moment. Those old ministers are unwilling to submit wholeheartedly, which will make the world talk at best, and shake the imperial court at worst. He really has to be cautious.
Seeing that the emperor was willing to give in, although he was very angry, at least there was room for maneuver in the matter. The Queen Mother softened her attitude and said gently, "The Queen's mistake will be punished by the Ai family, but the Queen cannot be abolished. Regarding the child, she She is also very sad. Besides, this is not her fault alone. Otherwise, Chen Youde deceived her and used medicine to do it. The queen was also deceived by him, so she was banned from the palace, how about that?"
This made Chen Youde bear all the charges.
The emperor laughed when he heard this, and laughed several times. Then he slowly looked at the queen who was kneeling on the ground but did not dare to raise her eyes to look at him. When his eyes returned to the queen mother's face, he stopped laughing.
"After all, they are blood relatives. The son is really touched by the mother's love. If the mother also has such love for her son, how could the son be separated from his mother?"
The Queen Mother was silent and looked ugly.
"Then let's deal with it according to the wishes of the Queen Mother. I'm tired too. My son is resigning!" After saying that, he strode away.
When he went out of the door, he saw Jin Xin waiting here. His face didn't look very good. Jin Xin saluted and then followed the emperor's footsteps.
"You planned what happened today, right?" He asked, looking forward with an unclear attitude.
"I know I'm wrong, but I can't do it myself." She said hurriedly.
He paused, but Jin Xin didn't stop, bumping into his thick back and knocking him back several steps. Seeing this, he instinctively turned around and pulled her back, and then stabilized her shaky body.
"Did you know before that the queen forcibly used drugs to help her conceive and gave birth to a sick child? Were you waiting for this moment?" He held her delicate body and looked at her, making her tremble.
If he said the wrong thing, I might not be able to bear the wrath of the thunder.
"I met the second prince when I came to pick up the banquet information booklet. I had given birth to a child before, so I knew something was wrong with the second prince, so I checked it out. But I didn't know that the second prince was so seriously ill. I thought he was just weak. No. I have thought about hurting anyone, but I am just afraid that the queen will frame me, so I want the emperor to be there to defend me. The emperor knows me, and I am not a poisonous person." Jin Xin's mind was spinning fast, and her eyes were filled with fear. Tear mist looked at him with a weak posture.
He is the most soft-hearted person, and if she is willing to show weakness, he will pity her to some extent.
Seeing her like this, Chu Sheng softened his heart and felt that Jin Xin was not that kind of person. She had a bottom line. She was also a mother herself, so how could she use her child to harm others.
But thinking about watching his child die with his own eyes, he felt depressed. He hugged Jin Xin, and it was really uncomfortable for him to lose another family member who was connected to him by blood.
"Jin Xin, you must protect yourself and our children."
