Donggong Zhangjiao

The queen's heart skipped a beat, and then she saw Hong Zheng going behind the screen. Not long after, a woman wearing ordinary people's clothes was brought up.

The moment her face appeared in front of the queen's eyes, the queen's expression suddenly changed.

This woman is exactly the pawn she placed next to Xu, Qinglian.

"My servant Qinglian, I have met the Queen."

Qinglian trembled all over and knelt on the ground.

"You should know this woman. She has confessed everything. What else do you have to say, Queen." Pei Yao's voice sounded.

His tone was full of suppressed annoyance and disappointment, as well as questioning.

The color on the queen's face quickly faded, and she involuntarily turned her gaze to Fang Yun, who was sitting beside her.

At this time, Fang Yun also stood up holding Qingrong's hand, his eyes were sharper than the queen had ever seen before.

"I asked myself, I have always respected the Queen, and I have never had any inappropriate thoughts. I taught my children to love, respect and respect the fifth prince who was born by the Queen. But why did the Queen instigate the Xu family to murder her? , the crime of making her infertile was placed on my concubine, so much so that Mrs. Xu hated her and wanted to burn her son alive!"

"I don't want to harm you, right?"

"The empress did not want to harm me, but I wanted to incite the Xu family to deal with me. Because I am deeply favored by the emperor, and the fourth prince is also close to the emperor and his son, so the empress is afraid that my concubine and the fourth prince will block your relationship. It’s the future of the fifth prince, isn’t it?!”

Fang Yun interrupted the queen sharply, the anger in his eyes almost bursting out.

What she was thinking about at the moment was the dying appearance of the fourth prince who had just been rescued from the fire that day. As a mother, it was so difficult for her to give birth to the fourth prince. She did not dare to relax in taking care of him for so many years. How could she not be angry and distressed? ?

The queen's heart was clogged, but she could no longer say anything to defend herself.

At this time, the witness Qinglian has been found, which means that Pei Yao and Fang Yun must have known everything.

Although she did not participate in Xu's murder of the fourth prince, and was even completely unaware of it, as Fang Yun said, if she had not deliberately provoked the hatred between Xu and Fang Yun, this incident would not have happened.

"Queen, I am very disappointed in you. I originally thought that you would not do such secretive things. When Concubine Zhao was pregnant with the fourth prince in the East Palace, she was harmed by the Xu family. Xu is your direct cousin. You can kill your relatives with justice. I originally thought that a virtuous queen should be like you. Over the years, I have always respected you very much. The concubines below have given you the greatest dignity, but you don’t know when you lost your mind. , to do such a thing.”

Although Pei Yao's voice was not as angry as before, the disappointment in his tone was what made people most uncomfortable and panicked.

The queen's face was as white as paper, she gritted her teeth and spoke after a long while.

"I plead guilty to instigating the Xu family, but Your Majesty, I am also uneasy. Naturally, I want to continue to be virtuous, virtuous, tolerant and generous, but Your Majesty, you love the fourth prince more than the fifth prince. , Your Majesty, doesn’t he know it? My concubine is a queen, so she needs dignity and respect. But Your Majesty, Xuer is your legitimate son, and he also needs you to give him enough dignity. As long as your Majesty, you can show more care to Xuer. , pay more attention, even if I am the same as the fourth prince, I will not be so uneasy!"

"To be treasonous, looking at ancient and modern times, which bastard can inherit the throne and then live a good life? I only have a son like Xu'er, I can't just watch him go to destruction!"

"So you want to clear the way for Xu'er and get rid of my other sons?! But Fan Xu'er is really talented, has both ability and political integrity, and is worthy of a big responsibility. How could I not allow him to be crown prince because of my own selfish desires? Do you think I am a foolish king?!"

Pei Yao had never been so angry with the queen, but at this moment, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

The queen looked at him and shed tears for a moment, "But Your Majesty, I don't dare to gamble. If you think like this now, what will happen in ten or twenty years? Will you still think like this?" "You should What I worry about is not what I think, but what I am worried about is how to teach Xuer to become a talent with peace of mind. In this way, who can bury him? Instead of thinking about clearing obstacles for him, shouldn't you teach him how to strengthen himself? "

Seeing the Queen being so arrogant, Pei Yao frowned even more.

"If the child himself is not educated well, even if you work hard to give him everything in the world, he will not be able to keep it and will only destroy himself. Do you want me to teach you this truth?"

Listening to Pei Yao's words, although the queen still couldn't stop crying, she didn't speak any more.

As the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family, from the crown prince to the mother of a nation, her upbringing did not allow her to lose her manners outside. The loud accusation just now was already a loss of manners.

Today, if she loses, she loses, and forcing her to argue will only make people look down upon her even more.

So after Pei Yao finished saying this and the palace became quiet, the queen raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and bowed.

"My concubine is guilty, please punish me."

Pei Yao glanced at her and said in a deep voice.

"You should go back and think about it carefully. When you have figured it out, send someone to tell me that the fifth prince has been in poor health during this period, so you should take good care of him with all your heart. All matters in the harem will be left to Concubine Wan for the time being. Take care of it with Concubine Jin."

This is grounding and deprivation of palace rights.

The queen lowered her eyes, leaned forward again, and immediately held the maid's hand and left Jingqian Palace.

Naturally, in such a matter, even if the queen made a mistake, she would not be dethroned. It would only cause a crack in her image in Pei Yao's heart, and Pei Yao would no longer trust her so much in the future.

In so many years, the queen has never been in such a situation, and Fang Yun was satisfied with the result.

There is still a war going on in the north now. When fighting foreign enemies, the most taboo thing is that there will be a fire within oneself.

The Lu family still plays an important role in the court.

The queen's behavior today indeed made Fang Yungao look at her a little. If the queen really made a fuss and acted like a shrew in the market, I'm afraid Pei Yao would be even more disgusted and disappointed with her.

The news from Jingqian Palace quickly spread to all parts of the harem.

Concubine Jin didn't mention it at all. After Concubine Wan inquired about the matter carefully, she immediately clapped her hands happily.

"Okay, okay, the queen still has today. When she harmed me, she shouldn't have imagined that one day she would also capsize. But this pain is nothing. Later, there will be something more painful for her. !”

Nowadays, Concubine Wan is more and more convinced that the queen caused her to be sterilized. After all, Xu Lingyi is an example.

Even Xu, who was following the queen, was not allowed to have children, let alone her who was in the independent camp.

The more she thought about this, the stronger the hatred in Concubine Wan's heart became, and she only hoped that the queen would suffer even more when she reaped the consequences of her own evil in the future.
