Chapter 343 Queen Qin is angry
However, Li Liangdi, Lu Liangyuan and Qian's concubine in the hall had already sat on the ground, dumbfounded.
After everyone in the hall had left, they came back to their senses and spoke out,
"What should we do? What should we do? Concubine Zhang is dead! The Crown Princess has been deposed. What should we do?"
After Li Liangdi finished speaking, she grabbed Lu Liangyuan's arm, trembling all over and could only ask this question over and over again!
Lu Liangyuan was even more panicked. The Crown Princess was stripped of her title and demoted to a commoner. Although she deserved it.
But the emperor and the prince are impartial and show no mercy, so this punishment is very severe!
What about the three of them left in the East Palace? How will the prince deal with them?
She stared blankly at the chaos in front of her and forgot to breathe.
*
Concubine Qian was so frightened that her face turned pale.
She thought of Concubine Zhang who had died recently.
I remembered how stupid I was for still diligently imitating Fang Qingge's every move, dreaming of the ultimate goal of replacing him.
It has not yet been realized.
But suddenly, everything changed! Changed!
The dead die, the useless ones waste...
An inexplicable and huge panic surged in her heart, causing her to collapse to death.
After a loud scream of "Ah", Concubine Qian ran out.
“Concubine Qian? Concubine Qian…” She was so frightened that the senior palace maid ran after her, screaming.
"Li Liangdi, shall we go back to Xiyuan?"
"Lv Liangyuan, shall we go back to Nanyuan soon?"
When the other two palace maids saw this, they stepped forward trembling with fear and helped their master up, then hurriedly dragged him back!
The people in the inner courtyard of the East Palace were suddenly in a panic.
Several masters were worried about their future with their little rabbits in their hearts.
*
Kunning Palace,
When Eunuch De went to the Eastern Palace to announce the decree, a young eunuch who had gotten the news hurried to Kunning Palace to report it.
Upon hearing this, the Queen sat down on the Phoenix Chair, grabbed Madam Liu's hand with bloodshot eyes and said,
"Has the Emperor really issued an imperial decree?"
"My Queen, it's true."
Queen Qin murmured with tears in her eyes,
"How could this happen? Yaxue has already realized her mistake! She is stained with stench and is already living a life worse than death! How can she live in the future if the Crown Princess is deposed? How can the Emperor be so determined?"
"Your Highness? You are not allowed to make irresponsible remarks!"
Frightened, Madam Liu quickly shook her arm. She turned around and said sternly to the young palace maids serving in the hall,
"You all get out."
"Yes, Aunt Liu."
Several young palace maids hurried out, leaving only three trusted confidants, Liu Ma, Miaoyin and Qiaoyin, in the hall.
Queen Qin looked at the three of them, shook off Nanny Liu's hand and said with great sorrow,
"It's already this time. Yaxue has been deposed. Can't I even say a word in my own palace? No, I'll go and beg the emperor."
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words! The imperial decree has been issued and cannot be changed!"
Nanny Liu and two senior palace maids held Queen Qin tightly and tried to persuade her earnestly.
*
Just at this time,
The little palace maid reported outside the door,
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince requests an audience."
"Him? He still has the nerve to come? Let him in!"
Queen Qin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said sternly.
"Here."
Soon, the prince came in. He glanced at his mother's red eyes, bowed and said,
"My son, I send my regards to my mother."
As soon as the prince finished speaking, a teacup flew towards him. The prince did not dodge, and the teacup brushed past his forehead, then fell to the ground with a "pa" and shattered into pieces.
In an instant, a stream of blood slid down the prince's cheek.
Queen Qin acted as if she hadn't seen it and said angrily,
"Good job you did!"
"Mother, please calm down!" The prince did not move, but looked at Queen Qin calmly.
"Ouch, Prince? Queen, the prince's forehead is broken and bleeding! Don't panic, Prince. I'll go get some medicine for the wound."
Nanny Liu was horrified and started to leave.
"Don't go!"
Queen Qin shouted again.
Matron Liu stepped back awkwardly.
"Empress? The prince's injury?"
"What I said is useless, right?"
Queen Qin was so furious that she seemed to have no regard for her relatives.
The two senior palace maids were so frightened that they dared not utter a word.
*
The prince glanced at his mother, raised his hand and gently wiped the blood from his forehead, and said in a calm voice,
"So, will the Queen Mother calm down?"
"Humph! How can you say you've calmed down? I don't need to guess to know that you did it.
Prince, you are quite capable! I just want to ask you, am I still your mother? Where do you put your mother by acting like this?
Don't think that your mother doesn't know your little thoughts. Prince, your mother wants to ask you, how has Yaxue wronged you in all these years since she entered the palace?
Yes, the Crown Princess did something a bit too much in Fang Qingge's case. But it wasn't her fault, she just didn't know how to judge people and was taken advantage of!
Besides, isn't the culprit, Concubine Zhang Yuying, already dead? It is said that when a person dies, it is like a light going out. All the hatred should be put aside!
But, mother never expected that you would kill the Crown Princess."
Queen Qin's hands began to tremble as she spoke so excitedly.
Queen Qin's questions were like heavy hammers hitting the hearts of everyone in and outside the hall.
Their eyes all turned towards the direction of the hall entrance.
It was as if the prince had committed some unforgivable crime at this moment.
*
Queen Qin looked at the Crown Prince's indifferent expression. She knew her son's stubborn temper, so she suppressed her anger and said kindly,
"Your Highness, as soon as this happened, Yaxue knew she was wrong. Besides, she is now sick and smells bad, which is retribution.
The Queen Mother also locked her up in the Zhaoling Palace and wouldn't let her come out to bother you again.
Tell me, what are you and Fang Qingge not satisfied with? Why do you have to push people to death?
Go and ask your father to revoke his decision and give her the title of Crown Princess. Will you let your mother discipline her from now on?"
*
The prince stood upright in the middle of the hall, and still felt a little pain in his heart. He closed his eyes and said softly,
"Since your Majesty has nothing to do, I will take my leave."
"Stop. I haven't finished what I want to say. Prince, have you forgotten everything?
How much kindness have your maternal grandparents shown you?
Ever since you were tricked by a traitor that year, no woman can get close to you. Your mother is afraid that this secret will be leaked and your position as crown prince will be lost.
It was at that time that your grandfather, in order to preserve the status of our mother and me, resolutely chose Yaxue from the eligible daughters in the family and had her marry you.
Crown Prince, even for the sake of this great favor, you cannot depose the Crown Princess!
What have you done now? Tell me, how did your maternal family let you down?
How can you let your mother have the face to see your grandfather in the future?! Ahem…"
Queen Qin spoke too hastily, and when she got to the emotional part, she started coughing violently.
The prince wanted to go forward and pat his mother on the back, but saw Nanny Liu going forward.
His footsteps stopped on the spot.
