The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 122 I won't let you succeed (2)
Before the emperor's imperial decree was issued, the queen got the things from Nanny Gui, and she was very grateful for being able to keep her back seat, so she hurriedly took the things to the imperial study.

Outside the door of the imperial study room, Concubine Shu was still kneeling stubbornly to plead guilty. Seeing that the queen's face was not as calm as usual, she thought she was here to intercede. Will it be too late? The emperor's decree has already been drawn up. Even if the death penalty is absolved, but life is inevitable. I wonder what status the emperor will give the empress? If the status is lower than this palace, then the queen will see me later. Don't you want to salute to this Palace?"

The queen stared at her bitterly, wishing to tear this enchanting and charming woman into pieces. If it wasn't for her status, she really wanted to take a knife and slash her face to pieces. Does her beauty confuse the emperor?

There was a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, the queen was already confident, "Concubine Shu, you are too happy, I am the queen, how can I be overthrown by you so easily? Besides, even if the palace is down, the queen's position will be in turn." Not to you!"

Concubine Shu met her gaze, and retorted confidently: "That's not necessarily the case!"

"You're dreaming!" The queen stopped talking to Concubine Shu, turned to face the quarreling ministers, and suddenly said sharply, "Shut up, I have something to say!"

There was a sudden silence outside the imperial study room, and all the ministers turned their eyes to the empress on the steps. Seeing the empress dressed in fine clothes, she said solemnly and solemnly: "I didn't want to go this way, but you are really ugly, because the harem With such a little misunderstanding, to force the emperor so much, do you still have the heart of a courtier?"

Someone under the steps shouted: "It is an unforgivable crime to damage the imperial decree, even the queen is no exception. The humble ministers are not persecuting the emperor, but hope that the emperor will treat the queen leniently for the sake of the queen mother."

The queen sneered and asked, "How do you plan to deal with me leniently?"

Someone under the steps shouted outrightly: "Abandoned as a concubine!"

The queen laughed twice, and said angrily: "I didn't know that you were so kind, and you were willing to save my life. I am so grateful!" Then she suddenly took out something from her sleeve, and held it in both hands. Raising her head high, she knelt down towards the door of the imperial study and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, my concubine went to Lianxin Hall to pray for the Empress Dowager with the Infinite Life Sutra handwritten by Emperor Taizong. Righteousness, my concubine violated the imperial decree and came here to plead guilty, and ask the emperor to punish me!"

When everyone in the ranks heard the words, they all showed surprise for a moment. The Wuliangshou Jing was written by Emperor Taizong praying for his mother, mixed with cinnabar with his own blood.The queen is going to pray for the queen mother, so filial piety is commendable, besides, she is the mother of a country, and she has the imperial book of Emperor Taizong in her hand, it belongs to the emperor's grandfather. The imperial decree also needs to be avoided.In this way, the incident of the imperial decree falling into the water can be reduced to a minor one, but Concubine Shu deliberately provoked her, and she would be accused of disrespecting the queen and the ancestors instead.

Under the sudden turn of the situation, Concubine Shu was dumbfounded and sat silently on the ground.

The queen turned her head and gave Concubine Shu a bitter look, and whispered in a majestic tone that had never been seen before: "I will never tolerate you again this time, even if the emperor let you go, I will treat you as a queen." I will punish you severely!"

I don't know if it was because of kneeling for a long time or because of the sudden reversal of the situation, Concubine Shu lost her usual arrogance and her face was so pale that she couldn't speak.

The door of the imperial study room opened, and Xiao Jun came out with a gloomy expression, glanced at the ministers kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and said in a cold tone: "Now it seems that this matter cannot be entirely blamed on the queen, so the empress who was abolished is not to blame." There is no need to mention the matter, what do you think?"
