I have been painting skin in the cemetery for fifteen years

When the emperor said his last words, it had become a woman's voice.

Everyone in the court was completely stunned.

Especially her name for Ying Que made everyone's expressions change drastically.

Ying Que walked up and stood in front of the emperor, stretching out two large sleeves to block both sides.

The emperor smiled brightly at Ying Que, and then slowly tore off the skin on his face.

Revealing her fairy-like face.

There is no need to take off the skin bag placed above the neck, because it has been taken off before going to court.

At this time, the body under the dragon robe is a perfect female body.

It's just that the layers of dragon robes cover up all the curves.

Yingque put down his sleeves and stepped back.

The true face of the empress was exposed in front of everyone.

Almost everyone recognized her at a glance. This was Princess Xia Yi.

Once the apple of the eye of the entire empire.

The late emperor's most beloved daughter.

She is also recognized as the most beautiful woman in the world.

Almost all the courtiers in the room took a breath of cold air.

The emperor continued to sit on the dragon throne.

"I am a painter. I pretend to be the second emperor's brother, Prince Jing, and ascend the throne as emperor."

She didn't have much explanation at all. For example, the late emperor died suddenly, and the prince and Prince Jing also died. She, Xia Yi, is the only bloodline of the late emperor, so she can only ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor.

He didn't explain anything like this.

"I am a woman, and for thousands of years, there has been no tradition of women becoming emperor."

"Miyou, your rumor also said that I am a traitor to the Dark Academy. My ascension to the throne and proclaiming myself emperor is the conspiracy of the Dark Academy. My alliance with Ying Que is also the restoration of the Dark Academy."

"I deny this. Of course, don't ask me to provide any evidence to prove that I am not a member of the Dark Academy."

"Also, there is no other face under my face. I am the blood of the late emperor, and I am Xia Yi. There is no doubt about it. But whether it is Prince Ying or Sky Bookstore, no matter what name you use, you can never come here. Check my body, check my blood."

"Emperor, do not suffer such disgrace."

"I would rather die together, rather have the mountains and rivers shattered, than suffer the slightest humiliation."

"One more thing. Whose is the eldest son of the emperor who was left not long ago? He was born to me, Ying Que and me."

"At the end of May last year, I was detained by the Queen Mother because I was pregnant and had to give birth in an unknown place."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience felt as if they were struck by lightning.

All reactions were lost instantly.

This is so exciting.

The emperor continued: "Of course you may want to ask, what happened to the Queen's pregnancy? Did she give birth to a child?"

At this point, the emperor paused for a moment.

Then, she continued: "Actually, when the queen was pregnant, all the doctors around her were her confidants. We can definitely say that she was not pregnant and was just pretending to be pregnant for me, but..."

"But, in fact, she was indeed pregnant and gave birth to a son. We don't want this child to be nameless, nameless, and nameless, so I can tell everyone that the queen also gave birth to a child, and that child also won Missing."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was completely in an uproar.

There were more than two thousand people present, and they really couldn't believe their ears.

Your Majesty, are you crazy?

Are you completely crazy?

This, this is a huge scandal.

You can completely hide it, there are dozens of ways to say it.

The queen's fake pregnancy is the best excuse, and everyone in the world is willing to admit it.

Now you actually say that the Queen's children are also Yingqi.

This...this is a filthy mess in the palace.

The emperor said calmly: "Everything must be said to others. I've probably finished saying it. Miyou, Prince Ying, do you have anything else to add? In your plan, are there any ulterior secrets about me?" Do I have any ulterior motives?"

Yes, there are many.

Eight truths and two lies, Miyou arranged many vicious lies and vicious plots.

Even directly subverting the emperor's bloodline, the emperor's soul, etc.

In short, it was to completely involve her with the Dark Academy.

But now...

There is no way to say any of this.

To say it is to spread rumors.

His Majesty the Emperor is too magnanimous, no matter what secrets or scandals, he told them all.

Are your other scandals, no matter how shocking, comparable to the queen and the emperor serving the same man together, and both of them getting pregnant at the same time?

In the face of this shocking secret, everything else is child's play.

The emperor even dared to admit this, what else did she dare not admit?

"I am honest enough." The emperor sneered and said: "No matter what you say, you must tell others, Miyou, Prince Ying, I will give you the last chance to make up your mind. Is there any ulterior conspiracy on my part? Any ulterior secret? All of them. Say it."

Prince Ying and Mi You were silent.

Originally, the two of them wanted to press forward step by step in the court, and start to get into trouble little by little.

First, force the emperor to reveal his true face, and then force out her scandal bit by bit.

According to the plan, this would take several hours of tug-of-war.

The emperor will fight tooth and nail to resist, hide and deny.

But I didn't expect that there was no need for the two of them to attack. His Majesty the Emperor took the initiative to tell everything.

What should be said, what should not be said, everything is said.

Now, it is meaningless for Mi You to frame anything.

If the shock level is not higher than that of the emperor and the queen sharing the same husband, don't say it.

In front of this shocking news, everything is rubbish.

"That's all?" The emperor sneered: "Prince Ying, Mi You, are you sure you have nothing to add? Are you sure you have nothing to add about my secrets and conspiracies? I'll give you five more seconds..."

Five, four, three, two, one!

"Time is up." The emperor said coldly: "Then listen carefully, all of you. These are all the secrets about me that cannot be told to others. Of course, you can also call them my crimes."

"First, I am Xia Yi, pretending to be my brother, Prince Jing, and a woman proclaimed herself emperor."

"Second, as an emperor, I secretly married Ying Que and gave birth to a child."

"Third, I and the queen served Ying Que together and defiled the palace."

"Listen carefully, all of you, just these three!"

"By the way, at that time, the queen and Ying Que were already drugged and unconscious, and all the actions were done by me. So I am the only one who defiled the palace, the queen is innocent, and Ying Que is innocent."

At this time, all the historians of the empire stopped writing, regardless of the records.

But the historians of Sky Book City continued to write.

The emperor said coldly: "Prince Ying, you called on all the princes, nobles and officials to come to the court to question me, just to determine my guilt. So I ask you now, are these three charges enough? Do you want to add more?"

Prince Ying said: "No."

The emperor said: "Mi You, in addition to these three charges, do you want to add anything else? Do you want to frame me with the crime of regicide, patricide, and murder of my brother?"

Damn, Your Majesty, you... you really dare to say anything.

Prince Mi said: "I don't mean that!"

The emperor said: "Okay, then these three charges. Not one can be added, not one can be subtracted!"

"I want to make it clear in front of you. If anyone dares to add anything in the future, I will definitely kill his entire family."

"Did you hear it?!"

The more than 2,000 people present were silent.

It was not a silent confrontation, but the shock was so great that they lost their reaction all of a sudden.

The emperor said coldly: "At least at this moment, I am still the emperor. I ask you, did you hear it?"

Suddenly, more than 2,000 people bowed and said: "I heard it."

The emperor asked again: "Do you obey the order?!"

Two thousand people said: "I obey the order!"

…………………………………………

At this time, inside the Anning Palace.

The queen stared blankly out the window.

Recalling the past with His Majesty the Emperor in her mind.

So mysterious, so handsome, although indifferent, but not cold, even a warm person.

It's really addictive.

But...but it's actually a woman?

And she was sent to Ying Que's bed and gave birth to Ying Que's child?

This is a huge scandal.

Where is her innocence?

Where is her reputation?

She is completely ruined.

When she thought of this, the queen felt heartbroken as if a knife was twisting.

Slowly walked into the room, took out a white silk and threw it on the beam.

She brought a stool, stood on it, tied a knot with the white silk, and put her neck inside.

Next, as long as she closed her eyes and kicked the stool away, everything would be over.

It was all over.

Then, an eunuch floated in.

He was the chief eunuch beside the queen.

His eyes were full of pity and calmness.

"Are you here to stop me?" the queen asked.

The eunuch said, "No, after you die, I will help you clean up and give you dignity."

The queen trembled and said, "Did the emperor ask you to send me off?"

The eunuch said lightly, "If you commit suicide, the emperor's crime will be even more unclear, and she will be even more notorious."

The queen was stunned.

The emperor's face appeared in her mind again.

Mysterious, handsome face.

Even at this time, it could still make her heart tremble slightly.

Yes, if she died, it would be all over.

Where would the emperor be placed?

And she had never seen her own son.

"What should I do? Banban?" the queen cried.

The eunuch said, "You decide for yourself, but if you die like this, everything is too worthless."

The queen cried, "Is the emperor being blamed by the ministers now?"

The eunuch said, "Yes."

The queen said, "The princes and ministers of the world want to drive him off the stage, right?"

The eunuch said, "Yes."

The queen said, "I, I will explain to everyone that I have had an affair with Yingque for a long time, and everything has nothing to do with your majesty."

The eunuch smiled helplessly and said, "No need."

The queen said, "Then I, then what should I do?"

The eunuch said, "Sleep, don't care about anything, sleep. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to support it, and it won't be your turn. When your majesty and the King of Zhennan have recovered from this breath, we can protect you."

The queen said, "Can I really sleep and don't care about anything?"

The eunuch said, "As long as you are willing, maybe when you wake up, everything will be over, and you will be in a safe and quiet place."

The queen shook her head and said, "I am in a mess, my heart aches like a knife, and I can't sleep at all."

The eunuch said, "I have something. If you like, just smell it and you will fall asleep."

The queen said, "Okay."

Then she slowly walked back to the room.

The eunuch took out a bottle, opened the lid, and placed it under the queen's nose.

A light sniff.

The queen's eyes began to blur. She used her last strength to lie on the bed, covered herself with a quilt, and fell asleep quietly.

………………………………………………

In the Sihai Palace.

The emperor said, "Prince Ying, Mi You, I have made my charges clear. Now it's your turn to perform."

"What is the righteousness of the Eastern world, what is for the Eastern civilization, what is the hen in the morning, what is the subversion of heaven and earth, what is the thousand-year imperial system, what is the model of the world, what is the human relationship between heaven and earth, just come on."

Huh? !

Your Majesty, you have finished talking about it.

This world's high profile is nothing more than this.

The key is that the emperor started this and completely confessed the situation.

Then, no matter what high-sounding words are sung next, it will appear very hypocritical.

I really prepared thousands of words, which are extremely just, extremely correct, touching, and moving.

Even when I wrote this memorial, I was moved to tears.

It is completely for the people of heaven and earth.

It is for Eastern civilization.

Iron-blooded and loyal, it can shine like the sun and the moon.

But now, this touching article seems so inappropriate.

Thousands of words turned into one sentence, and Prince Ying bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please abdicate."

But...

This sentence is also like thunder.

Your Majesty, if you are frank, then we are frank too.

You are straightforward, then we are also straightforward.

"Your Majesty, please abdicate!"

"Your Majesty, please abdicate!"

"Your Majesty, please abdicate!"

After Prince Ying stood up, Prince Mi also stepped out.

Then, one minister after another, one prince after another, followed.

More and more people stood up to force the emperor to abdicate.

The emperor just watched quietly, motionless.

After a long while, he said: "No one wants to stand up again? No one wants to force me to abdicate?"

The emperor looked at Prince Lian and Duke Xia Yan.

These two people were once the direct descendants of His Majesty the Emperor.

At this time, these two people did not stand up.

And Ning Daoyi's family and Yuwen Lianyi's family did not stand up either.

Of course, this does not completely mean support for the emperor, but they are unwilling to force the emperor to abdicate.

Many people present did not stand up, but they were grateful for the emperor's merits during this period, and they could not bear to publicly force the emperor to abdicate, hoping that the emperor would abdicate in a more decent way.

Then, the emperor said: "Prince Ying, can I ask why you force me to abdicate?"

Prince Ying said: "Are these three major crimes not enough?"

The emperor said: "Is the emperor going to step down for defiling the court?"

Huh? !

This sentence asked the depths of the soul.

If the queen defiled the palace, she would definitely be deposed, banished to the cold palace, or even sentenced to death.

But, the emperor defiled the palace? !

Is there such a crime?

Or, which emperor did not defile the palace?

The women in the entire harem belonged to the emperor alone.

Moreover, it was not against human ethics.

To be honest, there were many emperors who defiled the palace in the history of the Great Xia Empire, and some even violated human ethics.

Which one stepped down because of this?

The emperor said again: "I and Yingque have secretly agreed to spend our lives together and have children. Do I have to step down?"

This... this... this...

Throughout the dynasties, many emperors had lovers, and many of them were even directly the wives of ministers.

There are countless cases of giving birth to illegitimate children.

Which emperor stepped down because of having a lover outside? !

The emperor asked: "Prince Ying, are these two crimes enough to drive me out of power?"

This is a matter of principle.

If these two are committed, they will be driven out of power.

Then... not many emperors in history had a good end.

All of them would be driven off the throne.

Prince Ying said: "These two crimes certainly cannot drive your majesty off the throne."

The emperor said: "That's the first one. I ascended the throne as a woman."

Prince Ying said: "Yes."

The emperor said: "Then is there a rule in the ancestral laws of the Great Xia Empire that says women cannot succeed to the throne?"

Eh? !

This, this, this really doesn't exist.

There are many rules in the ancestral family laws of the Xia Dynasty, including that the harem cannot interfere in politics.

But, there is really no rule that women cannot succeed to the throne.

However, this rule is not written because it is considered completely unnecessary.

For thousands of years, no woman has succeeded to the throne in the Eastern world.

This is a tradition deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is regarded as one of the laws of heaven and earth.

Does it still need to be written into the ancestral family laws?

Since ancient times, how could a woman be an emperor?

The emperor said: "Since our ancestral family law does not state that women cannot succeed to the throne, why should I step down?"

Immediately, the Imperial Censor stepped out and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, the yin and yang of heaven and earth are unified. Since ancient times, how could a woman be emperor? Isn't this reversing yin and yang?"

The emperor said calmly: "Thousands of years ago, there was no Holy Lord in Sky Book City. The Holy Lord did not suppress the imperial power."

Huh? !

Yes!

You are talking about since ancient times? You are talking about tradition?

The former Sky Book City was just an academic organization with no power.

The so-called Holy Lord only appeared 1,500 years ago.

Didn't this so-called Holy Lord also come out of nowhere?

If there can be a Holy Lord, why can't there be a female emperor?

The Holy Lord can suppress the imperial power and become the supreme leader of the Eastern world.

Then why can't a woman be emperor?

It's all subversion, regardless of size.

Prince Ying said coldly: "Your Majesty, we are not here to debate with you."

The emperor said: "Yes, you are here to force me to abdicate. Or to put it more bluntly, it's to speak with strength."

Prince Ying said: "Your Majesty, the only legitimate reason why you occupy the throne is that you are the only descendant of the previous emperor. Even if you are a woman, you are the most orthodox bloodline of the previous emperor."

The emperor did not speak.

Prince Ying said word by word: "But in fact, this is not true."

"Xia Yi, you are not the only blood of the late emperor."

"Even if you are a woman, the most suitable person in the world to inherit the throne of the Great Xia Empire is not you, but someone else. His bloodline is purer than yours, and he is the legitimate master of the empire."

When these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Including the Queen Mother who was behind the curtain and never spoke.

The Queen Mother trembled and said: "Prince Ying, what do you mean by this? Who else is the blood of the late emperor? Who is more suitable to inherit the imperial lineage?"

Prince Ying bowed and said: "Queen Mother, you will know soon."

Then, King Ying bowed in the direction of the outside and said: "Please come!"

The door of the Four Seas Hall opened!

The sun shone in.

It made people unable to open their eyes all of a sudden.

And under the dazzling sunlight, a tall figure slowly walked in from outside the door.

I updated an hour earlier than yesterday. I'm going to lie down for a while and try to get the next chapter earlier.
