Chapter 239 The Imperial Concubine Just Wants to Be the Queen Mother 28

At this time, all the elders who had worried about state affairs for many years gathered together and prepared to help the emperor "clean up the family" and "rectify the palace affairs."

From several ministers who cared about life, to royal in-laws, to Prince Heng who managed clan affairs, everyone was present.

After the acupuncture, the concubine faintly woke up. In order to give her old man an explanation, she was invited to sit down.

After the queen and the noble concubine looked at each other, they turned their attention to the concubine and the elders of the Chen family. Several elders of the Chen family frequently looked at each other, and then looked at the four Gu Gu, who all looked unhappy. Order the minister over and over again.

No one said anything, but they all had a decision in their hearts: the emperor had to take care of himself. Since he planned to get "drunk", they should do a favor for him while he was still awake!

Yes, everyone basically concluded that the emperor was pretending to be drunk!

Half a quarter of an hour ago, two ministers who took care of life took Dr. Wu to see the emperor. But Eunuch He blocked it and refused to let the imperial doctor see him. When he heard that the imperial doctor wanted to perform an acupuncture, Eunuch He almost called the guards and refused to let them come forward. The guilty look on his face was clearly deceitful, which made them even more convinced that the emperor was pretending to be drunk.

If the emperor was drunk, there would naturally be nothing to say about today's affairs. It's an unconscious act, nothing more than embarrassing. But if you pretend to be drunk, the nature is completely different.

Therefore, several ministers who cared about their lives were disappointed and even sadder.

They have been let down!

They naturally hope that the emperor will be well.

Are they really unwilling to delegate power? Are they deliberately trying to evade the emperor? how could be?

It's not because the emperor grew up in a place of confinement. Unlike the princes who grew up in elementary school, he really doesn't know much, has limited talents, and has mediocre abilities. Although he is ambitious, he has no pragmatism at all.

Of course, these are not big problems.

Therefore, they wanted the emperor to listen more, read more, and learn more. When he grew up quickly, they would help him become a wise king as the late emperor had asked him to do.

The results of it?

They kept their promise, but the emperor misunderstood and was hostile to all of them...

Everyone saw the emperor's attitude towards the Chen family.

The Chen family has been loyal for generations, and Empress Chen is also outstanding, but the emperor's attitude towards the Chen family, the empress, and the concubine... almost makes them a target! Isn't this a protest against the late emperor's decision? As long as he has some filial piety, he must also take into account the face of the queen and concubine, right?

Filial piety comes first among all good deeds.

If you can't even be filial, how can you expect that person to have any other good qualities?

Just like that, before I knew it, disappointment had filled the whole room.

Everyone decided to start with the poisonous group around the emperor.

The first person to be punished was the captain of the guard who was in charge of the banquet today.

Well, he was a close confidant of the emperor and also a bodyguard of the emperor in his early years outside the palace. This man was not capable enough, so the emperor protected him all the way. It should have been removed long ago.

The second person to be punished was Eunuch He. No matter whether the emperor was really drunk or not, as the person closest to the emperor, he failed to protect the emperor and made the emperor make a fool of himself, which was a serious dereliction of duty. He also contradicted the imperial concubine and the prince, helped the emperor lie and cover up, and other crimes, and was unanimously approved: death!

The next ones to be punished were the two guards in the guest house. The following crimes, for which the evidence is conclusive, are also capital crimes.

In addition, the entire bodyguard team that the emperor brought with him was mobilized and replaced by a team from the Imperial Guard who were loyal to the late emperor rather than the emperor.

The emperor can't let him do anything about it.

If he is obedient, everything will be fine.

otherwise……

Tao Ran secretly exchanged glances with the queen.

Both of them looked happy.

very good!

This is one of their goals.

He spent a lot of time playing a trick just to cut off the emperor's wings. What the emperor will face next will become increasingly difficult...

After dealing with the group of people around the emperor, Ye Ruqiu was also brought up at the request of the concubine.

"Is this necessary to discuss? Just kill him!" Prince Heng made the final decision. "The royal family has lost all face because of her! The royal family would rather kill someone like this by mistake than let him go!"

Everyone nodded.

At the concubine's signal, the queen was about to ask someone to draft the decree, but the emperor suddenly appeared angrily.

"The queen is so grand. Do you have to skip me when dealing with my concubines?"

The emperor was angry and anxious, but he could see that everyone's expressions darkened again.

If it was just suspected that the emperor was pretending to be drunk before, now...it is clear at a glance.

Look at the emperor in front of you. His hands and feet are strong and his speech is clear. Not to mention drunk, he doesn't even look like he's drunk!

"You have killed my men, and you are going to kill my women?" The emperor gritted his teeth.

"I was caught having an affair with someone, and the emperor still wants to defend me?" Prince Heng was also angry. "Your Majesty, don't you mind the color of your hair at all?"

"What does it mean to be caught alive? Where is the person who had an affair with Qiu Meiren? Where is it? You haven't even caught anyone, how can you judge Qiu Meiren's crime? Since there is no direct evidence, it is slander! My woman, I will figure it out for myself Let’s see what happens!”

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

There is indeed no direct evidence.

When the "father-in-law" who was flying over the wall was about to be caught by them, he hit the rockery directly.

committed suicide.

How brave, blood splattered on the spot!

Who is this directed at?

On the concubine's birthday, she committed suicide directly, how arrogant and domineering!

When they inspected the body, they discovered that the "father-in-law" was fake. There were calluses on the tiger's right hand, and he was obviously used to using a sword. And he clearly hit his head on the rockery on purpose and made his face bloody, obviously because he was afraid that they would find out his identity.

No matter how you look at it, he is most likely a guard walking in the palace.

Unbecoming!

It is also for this reason that everyone feels that the palace guards must be cleaned up.

And all aspects seemed to be slapping the concubine in the face. Based on the emperor's performance today, it was difficult for them not to feel that maybe all the sources were on the emperor?

Once the fake father-in-law dies, all clues are lost. Where his other accomplice had gone, they had no idea.

But does this kind of thing really have to be caught on the bed?

Can the emperor still take chances with this kind of thing? Did he not count the impact this would have on the reputation of the royal family, the reputation of the harem, and him as the emperor?

It was difficult for everyone not to frown at the emperor again.

"Your Majesty, the matter of Qiu Meiren has all the witnesses and material evidence..." Balabala, the queen stepped forward and spoke earnestly. "I didn't believe it at first, so I rushed there as soon as possible, but..."

"Okay, there's no need for the queen to be pretentious!" The emperor was already on the verge of losing control and interrupted the queen in front of everyone. "Qiu Mei has offended you. If you have such a chance, how can you let her go?"

"What is the emperor talking about?" The queen's eyes turned red. "I am the kind of person who avenges private revenge? I am..."

"Shut up!" The emperor was going crazy. "What you call physical evidence is all speculation. Rong Jieyu has a grudge against Qiu Meiren. Who knows if she was deliberately framed?"

"How did the emperor know that Rong Jieyu had a grudge against Qiu Meiren?" Tao Ran suddenly interrupted.

"..." The emperor gritted his molars and said, "My dear concubine, you have forgotten that Rong Jieyu is your cousin. It was you, dear concubine, who told me about this." The emperor winked at Tao Ran.
