Chapter 94 Those Who Scheme Against Others Will Always Be Schemed Against by Others
As these words fell, the air in the huge hall condensed rapidly.
Muxue's face turned pale with horror, and everyone in the palace knelt down: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Your Majesty!" The queen stood up in panic and eagerly defended her daughter, "Muxue made an honest mistake. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Inadvertent mistake? I think she knows it very well!" Emperor Zhaocheng's face was livid, and his eyebrows were full of anger. "As a legitimate princess, she doesn't want to correct her words and deeds, or maintain the dignity of the royal family. Instead, she relies on I find faults with my identity everywhere and ruin my father’s reputation. I didn’t know that the queen has been teaching her daughter this way!”
The queen's expression changed drastically and she hurriedly ordered: "Muxue, kneel down!"
Muxue didn't know what kind of stimulation she received. Not only did she not kneel down, but she also said harshly: "Father, am I right? Who does Yan Li think she is? Why should she be equal to me? I am the legitimate son-in-law. Princess, I am! She is just an orphan, a despicable child that no one wants!"
Emperor Zhaocheng raised his hand and slapped him: "How presumptuous!"
Snap!
The air froze.
Muxue tilted her head, her fair cheeks swelled rapidly, and her fingerprints were clear and scary.
Fengyi Palace became quiet for a moment, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The queen stared blankly at Emperor Zhaocheng. The emperor's expression was cold and ugly, and his eyes were filled with raging anger.
Mu Xue covered her face in disbelief.
Aunt Zhao and all the palace servants knelt on the ground, their faces turned pale with horror.
"I am so indulgent of you." Emperor Zhaocheng took a deep breath and looked at Muxue with great disgust, "The queen has no way to teach her daughter and is not worthy of being a queen. She will begin to seal Fengyi Palace immediately and take back the queen's phoenix seal treasure book. Send it to Jingyang Palace for reflection!”
After leaving these words, he turned around and left Fengyi Palace: "Yan Li, let's go."
Yan Li glanced at the pale queen expressionlessly, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Following the emperor to the outside of Fengyi Palace, Emperor Zhaocheng took a deep breath, paused slightly, turned to look at Yan Li, his expression softened slightly: "I have made you feel wronged."
Yan Li slowly shook his head: "It's nothing."
"Muxue is really spoiled by the queen." Emperor Zhaocheng put his hands behind his hands and said in a cold voice, "You go back to the Jiang family first, and don't go into the palace these days. When we get married, you will be the ninth princess from now on. I think they will be more restrained.”
Yan Li nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"You are not my daughter." Emperor Zhaocheng raised his hand and rubbed her head, "Don't think so wildly."
Of course Yan Li would not think wildly.
No matter how confused Emperor Zhaocheng was, he would never be so stupid as to marry his daughter to his son or brother.
In the past, he was given a marriage to the prince, and later to the ninth prince.
It was obvious that Yan Li and the emperor could not be related by blood.
Only that fool Muxue would say such words, thinking that he could humiliate Yan Li, but in fact he was basically provoking the dignity and temper of the king of the country.
Mother and son are equally untouchable.
Yan Li went to the palace and made Muxue complain and confess in just two words, which also backfired on her, causing the queen to be deposed. Although the emperor only deposed the queen out of anger, it is very likely that he will reinstate the queen in the future.
But at least for today, Yan Li won a complete victory without any effort.
After bidding farewell to the emperor, Yan Li quickly left the palace.
The news that the queen was deposed quickly spread throughout the harem. Because of Gu Anxian's marriage, the concubine, who had been in a bad mood for several days, was stunned: "The queen was deposed?"
The confidant nanny nodded: "Yes, the news just came."
After a brief moment of shock and surprise, Concubine Gu beamed with joy and said, "This is really good news that will make the world fall."
Aunt Fang nodded with a smile: "With the Queen being deposed, the Crown Prince's position becomes precarious. Our Highness must seize the opportunity. Maybe after a while, the Crown Prince's decree will come down."
"It would be great if we could really abolish the reserve." Concubine Gu looked expectantly, "Have you ever asked why?"
"I heard it has something to do with the princess." Aunt Fang said respectfully, "I will send someone to inquire about it right now."
Concubine Gu hummed: "Let me know in more detail."
"yes."
"It's true that God is on my side." Gu Guifei paced lightly in the palace, "The emperor was originally dissatisfied with the prince, and now that the queen has been deposed, it shows that the emperor's patience with the queen, mother and son has reached the limit. I am Shouldn’t we take the opportunity to do something for King Yu?”
Nanny Fang asked a smart and reliable palace maid to go out to inquire about the situation, then turned back and poured a cup of tea for Concubine Gu: "His Royal Highness King Yu is dedicated to political achievements. He does not cause trouble, does not approach women, and does not have messy fights in the house. He just waits for a while. When the opportunity comes, the emperor will definitely have a good impression on His Highness King Yu if he asks."
Concubine Gu nodded after hearing this, "King Yu must perform well these days and make absolutely no mistakes. If you have free time, let him and the upright and virtuous ministers in the court move around, leaving some calm and motivated people for them. Good impression.”
"Don't worry, Madam, our Highness is the smartest and most steady person, and knows what to do."
After a while, the palace maid who went out to inquire about the news came back and saluted the imperial concubine respectfully.
"My dearest concubine, today the legitimate princess left the palace and went to the Jiang family. I heard that she was slapped by Princess Nanyang. She returned to the palace in tears and complained. This made the queen furious, and then alerted the emperor."
Concubine Gu frowned: "Just because she offended Yan Li, the queen was forced to dethrone her from the throne?"
"No, the reason is that the legitimate princess scolded Princess Nanyang with some unpleasant words." The maid turned her head to look outside, then whispered in Concubine Gu's ear, "The legitimate princess said that the emperor favored Princess Nanyang because her mother seduced the emperor, and said that Princess Nanyang was the emperor's illegitimate daughter who was left outside. The emperor was furious when he heard it, and slapped the legitimate princess on the spot, and accused the queen of not educating her daughter well, so she was abolished from the queen position."
I see.
Concubine Gu seemed to be thinking: "But the emperor's attitude towards Yan Li is indeed too biased. No wonder the legitimate princess thinks so."
"You can't say that even if you think so. Can you just say that?" Nanny Fang sighed, "The emperor knows best whether Yan Li is the emperor's daughter. She was married to the crown prince when she was born. After the marriage was cancelled, the emperor married her to the ninth prince. It's impossible that she is the emperor's biological daughter. Otherwise, how could the emperor grant the marriage so easily?"
Even if there is a little uncertainty, the emperor will not grant this marriage.
"Well, you have a point." Concubine Gu nodded, "The emperor and Jiang Yi should not have done anything beyond the ethics, otherwise he would not be so sure."
