Chapter 1,110: The Previous Dynasty Was Also in Chaos
The Queen Mother found out that she was ill in the evening.
Nanny Wei was so panicked that she hurriedly asked for the imperial doctor while reporting to Fengyi Palace.
The chief steward of Fengyi Palace said that the empress had gone to the emperor's study room. After thinking about it, Nanny Wei had no choice but to go to the study room.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the royal study, they heard the emperor's angry scolding. Several eunuchs stood at the door tremblingly with their heads lowered. When they saw her coming, they immediately winked at her.
Aunt Wei did not dare to go in again and stood aside with the eunuchs.
The sound inside was loud, and the emperor's anger could be heard.
"What a queen of Fengyi Tianxia, what a queen of Mother Yi Zhonggong, why do I need a queen like you...well...very good..."
"The queen really thinks... this harem... is your one-word hall... the imperial kitchen... to intervene... King Chen..."
The emperor's voice was not heard clearly and could only be heard vaguely. Nanny Wei's face turned pale and she stepped back cautiously. She did not dare to listen to such words, so she had to move further away.
The sound inside became softer, maybe she had retreated far enough, and she could only vaguely hear the emperor's angry scolding, and then the queen's low whimpering. Aunt Wei took a few steps back again, almost this time. Went to the corner.
A long time passed, so long that Nanny Wei's feet were numb. Then she saw several palace servants helping the Queen to leave. The Queen was crying and wiping her tears. Her feet were unsteady. If someone hadn't supported her, I'm afraid she couldn't even stand still. The Queen of the Sixth Palace, Mother Yi Tianxia, left the imperial study room crying like an ordinary woman.
Nanny Wei became more and more afraid to move forward and huddled aside cautiously, for fear that someone would find her here. She regretted that she came at the wrong time and she should have waited to come back.
After waiting for a while, I saw Derong beside the emperor going to the harem with the holy will in his hand, followed by several young eunuchs. Was he going to announce the decree?
Nanny Wei felt more and more uncomfortable. After waiting for a while, she walked to the door of the imperial study room tremblingly and said to the few eunuchs standing outside the door: "Can you help me to report this to the Queen Mother?" sick."
When he heard that the Queen Mother was ill, the young eunuch didn't dare to delay and hurried in to report the matter, and soon let her in.
This is not the first time that Wei Wei has come to the imperial study room, but in the past, the imperial study room was quite peaceful, and the emperor's attitude was also very good, especially because she was a person close to the Queen Mother, and the emperor also treated her very favorably. Now this At that time, it made her feel uneasy.
Hearing that the Queen Mother's health was not good, the Emperor asked her to take good care of the Queen Mother, and then asked her to go back first, saying that he would come over later.
Aunt Wei returned to Cining Palace, and not long after waiting, the emperor came. The imperial doctor found out that the Queen Mother was depressed, and because she was old, she could not bear it for a while. rest.
The Emperor and the Queen Mother sent everyone out, and after talking to the Queen Mother for a while, they left Cining Palace. Although Nanny Wei didn't hear it, she felt uneasy for a moment, always feeling that something was going to happen.
During the court meeting the next day, the news of King Chen's return had already spread. When Chu Liuchen appeared in front of everyone during the court meeting, they looked at King Chen carefully one by one.
Seeing that this King Chen was in good spirits, although his face was a bit paler than that of ordinary people, there was nothing serious overall. This made many courtiers secretly doubt that this King Chen was not in poor health. Can't even walk? When I was in the palace, I basically had to use a wheelchair to move around.
What is this time like now?
More keen people feel that it is too coincidental for King Chen to appear at this time. What does King Chen mean, and what does the emperor mean?
Everyone secretly guessed and had a bad premonition for no reason, but the next moment, the emperor dropped a large bomb, so that all the courtiers no longer had the time to think about King Chen.
The emperor wants to depose the queen. The emperor says he wants to depose the queen. Ask the ministers what they think!
Such a big thing suddenly broke out. Although everyone was secretly suspicious of Princess Chen's incident, everyone was still suspicious. No one expected that this matter would actually become a concern for the court officials. The face was announced.
How can the queen of a dynasty be so easily deposed? This will cause turmoil in the court.
I heard the emperor announced that Princess Chen was murdered in the harem, and she was inextricably linked to the Queen. Even all the people who came into contact with Princess Chen were more or less related to the Queen. Princess Chen almost died yesterday He died in the palace. Fortunately, Princess Chen did not use the rice, otherwise she would not have survived at this time.
After listening to the emperor's decree, many courtiers stood up and asked the emperor for mercy. They said that although it seemed that the empress was involved in this matter, it was not necessarily the empress. There must be someone who wanted to deal with the empress secretly. Apart from the empress, this person The words are alluding to the concubine De.
After all, only the kings of Yue and Zhou who were born to Concubine De were the most competitive.
Some people sided with King Zhou, saying that King Zhou was the legitimate son of the queen, and the queen had always been stable. If she was framed this time, she must be unjust. It could not be that someone else did it deliberately, and whoever benefits is the one who did it.
Others sided with King Yue, saying that King Yue was steady and fair, and it was good for Concubine De to be in the harem. Now that something happened to the queen, Concubine De would definitely not feel at ease. This matter still needs to be considered in the long run.
Of course, there were also some ministers who didn't say anything, but stood aside with frowns and quietly listened to the arguments of other ministers.
Chu Liuzhou's face was cold, with a murderous aura all over him. It was his queen mother who wanted to be destroyed. If he hadn't tried hard to restrain himself, he almost couldn't help but want to slap those ministers who expressed long-term plans. A slap in the face and a long-term plan clearly meant that this matter was done by the queen.
From what happened yesterday, King Zhou also heard about Princess Chen, and even wanted to sneak into the palace to meet the Queen Mother for a while, but he had not seen the Queen Mother until now. I was annoyed and gritted my teeth hard to hold back this anger.
Chu Liuyue looked much calmer, but she didn't care. She stood aside quietly with her head lowered, listening to the noise of the courtiers.
Chu Liuchen was also very calm, but he did not lower his head, and looked at the several ministers who were talking with a chill in his eyes.
Some people asked for the abolition of the queen, and some asked for a postponement. Everyone quarreled, and the whole court was noisy for a while. One of the censors got so excited that he actually wanted to give a fatal remonstrance. In his excitement, he almost bumped into the mahogany dragon pillar in the hall.
The emperor angrily threw down all the papers in his hand. For a moment, the hall was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
"We'll stay here for today, and we'll discuss it tomorrow!" The emperor said coldly, then turned around and left the court.
Seeing that the emperor left, everyone in the hall calmed down. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. I didn’t know how to deal with it for a while. Since the emperor brought it up, the government will definitely discuss this matter again in the future. , why did it get to this point?
What happened to Princess Chen?
Someone wanted to inquire about Princess Chen, but when they saw King Chen's cold handsome eyes sweeping over them, they couldn't help but trembled, and they didn't dare to open their mouths immediately. This prince seemed to be in a bad mood, and if he pissed him off, he would definitely not get any good results. .
Most of the important ministers had seen how favored His Highness King Chen was in the Imperial Study Room, and they did not dare to come forward at this time. The important ministers did not dare to come forward, and of course other courtiers did not dare to come forward.
He watched helplessly as the prince walked away.
When he turned around to look at King Yue and King Zhou, he found that these two princes were also gone.
Things in the previous dynasty were in such a turmoil, but the harem seemed to be quite peaceful. The Queen Mother's Fengyi Palace seemed to be closed, and the concubines were ordered not to disturb the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. Said that both empresses were ill.
Both of them in the palace were ill. For a time, no one dared to say anything. The atmosphere in the entire palace was inexplicably tense. Everyone felt that the Queen was really going to lose power this time. After being deposed, King Zhou Even if he is not the Queen's legitimate son, he has the same status as several other princes.
Everyone has the same status, and King Yue is the eldest son. No matter from any aspect, King Yue is the one most likely to inherit the throne.
Many concubines did not go to see the Empress to pay her respects, but unconsciously went to see the Concubine De. At this time, fawning over the Concubine De did not bring much benefit to them.
It is better to curry favor with Concubine De while she has not yet become the empress. Otherwise, if Concubine De becomes the queen or the queen mother in the future, they will have nothing to do with them.
The palace where Concubine De was located was immediately bustling with activity.
At this time, Chu Liuchen secretly met Concubine Lan in the attic where he used to rest. This place was close to Prince Chen's Mansion and not far from the back door of Prince Chen's Mansion.
When Chu Liuchen came over, Concubine Lan was already waiting for him upstairs. Seeing him coming, Concubine Lan looked at him excitedly. Tears immediately fell down her beautiful face, but Chu Liuchen was far away. Standing far away, looking at Concubine Lan with cold eyes, without saying a word.
"You... you sit down and talk first!" Concubine Lan looked him up and down, and found that his body was really good and he didn't mean to hold on, so she breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the chair on the side.
Chu Liuchen glanced at her indifferently, walked over slowly, first pulled the chair to the side, and then sat down. There was a chill in his eyes, and he looked at Concubine Lan as if he were looking at a stranger. There is no trace of warmth on the handsome face.
"You...you can't..." Lan Fei's eyes were a bit pleading.
"No!" Chu Liuchen said without hesitation.
"Chen'er, you... are you still blaming me, always blaming me... But what can I do, I... I can't do anything." Concubine Lan suddenly became excited and said with tears.
