Chapter 186 The Queen is planning a rebellion!
"What a lie! I actually have a python that can swallow so many things hidden beside me."
Ministers:...
He could indeed swallow it. Even the ministers were amazed when they heard about the things that were confiscated from his house.
Wow, that’s almost one-third of the treasury of Beicang Kingdom.
Fortunately, all of these were deposited into the national treasury, which was the only thing that made the emperor feel gratified.
Because of the three years of war in the south, the national treasury is no longer what it used to be, and this batch of confiscated assets is urgently needed to fill the gap in the treasury.
the other side.
In Kunning Palace, the Queen had already broken three pairs of porcelain bottles in a row.
At this moment, porcelain pieces were scattered all over the ground, which was shocking.
Seeing that the Queen was taking a breath and resting, Xiao Anzi boldly stepped forward to comfort her:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. You can't fall down again. You've accidentally cut your hand.
Come quickly... stop the bleeding for the queen, and call the imperial physician."
"Forget it, don't go yet. I have to go to the Imperial Study to see the Emperor later."
After hearing what the Empress said, Xiao Anzi suddenly knelt in front of the Empress in a panic: "Please think twice, Empress. Don't provoke the Emperor for that Master Qi. The Emperor is angry now and will not agree to your request. Moreover, if things go wrong, you will also be punished by the Emperor for angering him."
Eunuch An, who was crawling on the ground, spoke earnestly, his hands shaking constantly.
Blood was already visibly seeping out from under the knees.
I have to say that Xiao Anzi's acting was so realistic.
The Queen was moved and slowly helped him up.
"Empress...if something really happens to you, who will the Crown Prince rely on?"
Xiao Anzi continued to persuade.
Upon hearing the words "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince", the Queen finally began to waver a little.
Yes…
What would he do if he no longer had her protection in the future?
Can he successfully ascend to the throne?
no…
She couldn't just sit there and wait for death any longer. She had to take a gamble. If she failed, she would die. At worst, she would die. At least as a mother, she had tried her best for him without hesitation.
Even if she fails, she has no regrets.
Thinking of this...
The Empress was wearing a bright red phoenix robe and with bloodshot eyes she looked at the woman in the bronze mirror as she put on the phoenix crown that was worn at the ceremony of her coronation.
Finally, he stepped out of the gate of Kunning Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is outside the door requesting an audience."
The young eunuch quickly walked up to the emperor who was reviewing memorials in the imperial study.
In recent days, memorials from all over the country have been flying into the palace like snowflakes, piling up on the desk in his imperial study.
Even if you stay up all night, you can't finish it.
Can't finish it at all.
"Why is she here?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and looked deep in thought.
"Let her in..."
"Her Majesty Empress Xuan, please enter the Imperial Study."
As soon as the young eunuch walked out of the imperial study, the sharp voice came in.
Not a moment later.
The queen stood in front of the emperor.
The emperor raised his eyes and suddenly saw the mother of a country wearing the phoenix robe for the queen coronation ceremony. He raised his eyebrows in disdain and looked displeased.
"Why is the Queen doing this? Why are you wearing this dress to meet me?"
Recently, some ministers said that the Queen had ulterior motives and was secretly cultivating her own power, which might threaten his throne.
The emperor sneered.
It is simply nonsense to think that no matter how capable the queen is, she is just a woman. How can she possibly shake the foundation of the country?
"Your Majesty, I am here to plead with you and Lord Qi. I beg Your Majesty to spare his life."
"What did you say? Say it again, who are you pleading for?"
The emperor's eyes were bloodshot!
The Queen's words hit the nail on the head.
Thunder is furious!
It turned out that this woman was actually secretly trying to win over her own forces behind his back.
And they also lured over a giant python.
"Qi Yushu, the former Grand Tutor's most proud disciple - Lord Qi."
However, the Queen's neither humble nor arrogant attitude and tone really made the Emperor unable to see through.
Is this woman here to beg for mercy? Why is there no trace of begging in her eyes?
in addition…
"What is your relationship with that criminal? Have you really, as the outside world says, already won him over to your side and made him your man?"
Staring at the woman in front of him with a sneer and mocking eyes, the emperor felt his heart burning with anger and he already had the answer.
But he was confused and unwilling!
"What a daring, reckless, vicious woman!
Tell me! When did you start planning this?"
After he finished speaking, the emperor angrily slammed the dragon throne, stood up suddenly and rushed to the queen.
The queen was still laughing, her laughter was charming and seductive, her laughter was wanton and almost crazy:
"Your Majesty! Don't look at me like that. It wasn't long ago. It was four months after you brought Concubine Xiao into the palace. That's when I gave up on you and planned all this for myself."
At this point, there is no need to hide it anymore.
The people she arranged will appear in the palace soon.
emperor:"……"
As expected, it's you who's behind all this.
"That's right... The reason why Concubine Xiao couldn't conceive your majesty's dragon child is indeed my fault. After all, you have been in this position for too long, and I also want to take a seat at the top."
As she spoke, the queen glanced greedily in the direction of the dragon throne.
"This is simply treasonous and wishful thinking! You vicious woman... Come, take this woman away and confine her to Kunning Palace to await your punishment!"
"Wait! Your Majesty, I have something to say. If you don't agree to let Master Qi go today, in a quarter of an hour, my confidants will rush to you. There will also be 50,000 righteous soldiers outside the city. Your Majesty, you must think about it. It will be too late for you to regret it then."
After the queen finished speaking, she suddenly raised her chin, and her sinister and vicious eyes glanced coldly at the guards who surrounded her.
……
The emperor seemed to be hesitating, and the guards did not dare to act rashly upon seeing this.
In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere in the imperial study became tense.
You can hear a pin drop...
"Your Majesty...General Xiao is outside seeking an audience."
"Send him in quickly."
Is he here too?
The queen couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Even if he came, it would not matter. Now the arrow was on the string and they had no room for maneuver.
After a moment, Xiao Jue strode in like a gust of wind.
Suddenly, he announced loudly: "Your Majesty... I have a list of the names of the Empress who have colluded with the rebels in the court. Please take a look at it."
The Queen couldn't believe it.
His eyes followed the list and he suddenly fell into deep thought.
How on earth did he get this list?
Could it be that there was a traitor among the group of people she had won over?
Impossible! If that were the case, then the plan she had painstakingly set up would be destroyed in an instant!
The young eunuch quickly handed the list to the emperor, and the emperor's expression became increasingly uglier as he took the list.
Half of the people on this list were the criminals who were confiscated one after another by the Jinyiwei.
Not a single one is missing, all of them are on this list?
"Come here! Send this list to the Jinyiwei immediately, and... convey my order, asking him not to interfere in Jinyiwei's cases anymore."
At this time, the eunuch came in from outside the hall and went straight to the Fusi where the Jinyiwei was located with orders.
