Chapter 570 The Legend of Zhen Huan An Lingrong 27

An Lingrong sat quietly beside Yinzhen, watching the scene in front of her, with mixed feelings in her heart. She once feared Yixiu and tried to get along with her peacefully, but in the end, they still came to this point.

Yinzhen looked at Yixiu who was slumped on the ground. There was no trace of pity in his eyes, only deep disappointment and disgust.

He spoke slowly, his tone cold and firm: "Empress Ulanara, you are vicious, you killed the heir to the throne, framed the concubines, your crime is unforgivable! Today I will depose you from your position as queen and demote you to a commoner!"

Yixiu slumped on the ground, the pearls and jade on the phoenix crown were shaky, just like her current position. She wanted to speak, but found that her throat was dry and she couldn't make any sound.

After a long while, she finally regained some strength, her voice hoarse like a broken bellows: "Your Majesty... I have served you for many years, even if I have no merit, I have worked hard..."

Yinzhen looked at her coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes: "Everything you have done, I remember in my heart. Empress Chunyuan, Noble Lady Fucha, and Lingrong... Which one of them was not harmed by you?"

Hearing the word "Lingrong", Yixiu raised her head abruptly, a trace of hatred flashing in her eyes: "It's her! It was she who seduced the emperor and made him forget about me! Your Majesty, you once said that in this harem, I am your only wife!"

Yinzhen shouted angrily: "Do you think that I really don't know what you did? I just gave you some face because you and I are husband and wife! But you are never satisfied! Now you are going even further and even reaching out to Rong'er. I will never tolerate you!"

Surrounded by the crowd, the Queen Mother slowly walked into Jingren Palace.

"Son pays respect to the Empress Dowager!"

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother..."

"Everyone, get up." The Queen Mother's majestic voice echoed in the hall. She walked straight to Yinzhen's side, her eyes swept over Yixiu who was slumped on the ground, then fell on An Lingrong, and finally stopped at Yinzhen's face.

"Emperor, I heard that the Queen had committed a serious mistake, so I came here to see her."

Yinzhen stood up and bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother: "My Queen Mother, the Queen has a vicious heart. She has murdered the heir to the throne and framed the concubines. The evidence is irrefutable. I have decided to depose her from the position of Queen."

The Queen Mother sighed and did not express her opinion immediately. Instead, she looked at Yixiu: "Queen, do you have anything to say?"

Yixiu raised her head, tears streaming down her face, her voice hoarse: "Empress Dowager, I am innocent! I am loyal to the emperor and have never done anything to let him down. All this is An Lingrong's trick. She deceived the emperor and made him believe in slander and put me to death!"

An Lingrong's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she did not speak to defend herself. She just leaned gently on Yinzhen, seeking shelter. Yinzhen held her hand and gave her silent support.

The Queen Mother saw all of this and had already made a judgment in her heart.

She turned to look at Yinzhen and said earnestly, "Emperor, the Queen is your legitimate wife after all, the mother of the country. Deposing the Queen is no small matter. You must think twice before you act!"

Yinzhen's eyes were firm: "Madam, I have made up my mind. The crimes committed by the Queen are too numerous to list. I will never tolerate her!"

The Queen Mother sighed deeply, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes looked as if they were carved by a knife.

She said earnestly, "Emperor, I know you dote on An, but deposing the empress is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly. Moreover, what the empress said is not without reason..."

The Queen Mother paused, and cast a sharp gaze on An Lingrong, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"An, tell me honestly, is there any lie in what the Queen said?"

An Lingrong nestled in Yinzhen's arms, her body trembling slightly. She lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes hiding the emotions in her eyes. After a long while, she whispered, "Your concubine... Your concubine dare not deceive the Queen Mother."

"Don't you dare to lie?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly.

"I think you are very brave! In the harem, intrigues are common, and I have seen them before. But it is the first time I have seen someone like you, killing someone with a borrowed knife, sowing discord, and eventually forcing the queen to lose power!"

Yinzhen's face darkened and he was about to speak, but the empress dowager raised her hand to stop him.

"Emperor, please stop talking! Let me finish what I want to say."

She turned to look at An Lingrong, her eyes full of majesty: "An, you were born in a humble family, and it is a great blessing to be favored by the emperor. But you don't know how to cherish it, and instead you take advantage of the favor and become arrogant, framing the queen. Do you know that the queen is the mother of the country and represents the face of our Qing Dynasty? If you act like this, where will the face of our Qing Dynasty be?!"

An Lingrong was horrified and her body swayed. Yinzhen quickly supported her, held her tightly in his arms, and looked at the empress dowager with cold eyes.

"My Queen Mother, Rong'er is weak. It's inappropriate for you to be so aggressive."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "I just want to find out the truth of the matter, why are you being aggressive? An, since you dare not deceive me, then tell me the whole story in detail! If you are really wronged, I will naturally stand up for you."

An Lingrong nestled in Yinzhen's arms, tears streaming down her face, and she choked as she said, "My queen mother, I have never thought of harming the queen. I was born in a humble family, and I was able to enter the palace to serve the emperor thanks to the emperor's mercy. I am only grateful in my heart, so how could I dare to have any evil thoughts?"

"You sound nice!" Yixiu suddenly interrupted her in a harsh voice, "An Lingrong, stop pretending here! If you hadn't been the one getting in the way, how could I have ended up like this?"

Yinzhen hugged An Lingrong, his eyes gleaming coldly as he directed them at the Queen Mother: "My Queen Mother, Rong'er is timid. How can she bear your harsh questioning? The Queen made such a big mistake, and Rong'er was just implicated. You are being so aggressive, which is unfair."

The Queen Mother was displeased by Yinzhen's rebuttal, but due to the emperor's majesty, she could not lose her temper. She had to suppress her anger and said, "Emperor, I did not mean to embarrass An, but this matter is of great importance, and I must ask for your clarification."

Seeing that the Queen Mother seemed to be wavering, Yixiu became even more anxious. She struggled to stand up, pointed at An Lingrong, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Queen Mother, don't be fooled by her weak appearance! She is a seductress. She deceived the Emperor and framed me! She..."

"Enough!" Yinzhen interrupted Yixiu harshly, his eyes full of disgust.
