Chapter 647: Impeachment of the Queen

When he entered the room, he saw Xiao Yu sitting beside the bed, and a very beautiful girl was lying on the bed.

The girl had a white cloth wrapped around her forehead and closed her eyes. It was unknown whether she was asleep or fainted.

Xiao Yu only noticed it when the old lady entered the room. Seeing that his eyes were red, as if he had cried, the old lady thought that his granddaughter-in-law was really not well. After asking a few questions in detail, the maid next to her answered, and then she knew that although she was injured, her life was not in danger.

She immediately understood that Xiao Yu was probably too deeply in love with the Crown Prince's Consort.

The old lady and her two daughters-in-law sat in the room for a while, then got up and went to the outer room.

She asked the maid in the room with a gloomy face, "What happened? How could she get injured after entering the palace?"

Qin'er spoke eloquently and told the palace clearly.

The old lady said gloomily, "The queen is too much!"

"First, she reached out to the minister's home and interfered with the minister's marriage. The prince had already been engaged, but she insisted that the prince marry someone else!"

"As soon as the prince's wife came to Beijing, she couldn't wait to use the hand of the empress dowager to summon the prince's wife to bully her!"

"I will submit a petition to impeach the queen when I go back!"

The two daughters-in-law also expressed their opinions quickly. One said, "I will go back to my parents' home and ask my father to submit a petition to impeach."

The other also said, "My daughter-in-law will also go back to her parents' home in a while and ask my eldest brother to submit a petition! People in my family are not easy to bully!"

The old lady sat for a while, seeing that Gu Fei was lying down, there was no hostess to take care of the house, and Xiao Yu was a little confused and didn't manage things.

So she didn't eat, and went back with her two daughters-in-law with a gloomy face.

That night, Xiao Yu sat by Gu Fei's bed all night.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yu washed up, changed into the prince's official uniform, and went to the palace at the right time.

In the Purple Palace, all officials stood in awe.

The morning court was halfway through, and it was time for civil and military officials to report.

At this time, a eunuch outside the door shouted, "Report, the wife of Duke Qin has something to report, waiting outside the Xuanwu Gate."

The wife of Duke Qin is a first-rank imperial lady. Although she cannot attend the court, she has the right to report.

The hall was quiet for a while. The emperor sat on a high place, knowing that the wife of Duke Qin must have come here for yesterday's incident.

After the imperial physician came back, he summoned her and asked her, saying that the Crown Prince's wife was seriously injured and it was afraid that she would not be able to delay for long.

Needless to say, the wife of Duke Qin came here to cause trouble, but it had to be announced. Duke Qin and his two sons guarded the border for the Great British Dynasty and made countless contributions. If he could not treat the wife of Duke Qin well, I am afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court would say that he was mean and ungrateful.

The emperor felt a little guilty, so he had to nod slightly. The eunuch beside him shouted, "Announce——"

After waiting for half an incense stick, Old Lady Lu came in with a cane.

She knelt down first when she came in, and the emperor nodded slightly. The eunuch shouted, "Stand up——"

Old Lady Lu stood up with a cane, "I have a memorial to submit!"

The emperor twitched his mouth, and then he heard Old Lady Lu say, "I want to impeach the queen."

As soon as these words came out, there was a slight commotion in the hall.

Old Lady Lu said in a loud voice, "Last winter, the Queen, despite the fact that the Prince of Qi was already engaged, forced an orphan girl from the distant family of the Duke of Li to be the third daughter of the Duke of Li and sent to Ping'an City to get married."

"The Prince of Qi was loyal and righteous, and because he was already engaged, he refused the imperial decree and still married the woman he was engaged to."

"The day before yesterday, the Prince of Qi and the Crown Princess came to Beijing in the evening, and yesterday morning, the Crown Princess was summoned to the palace. The Queen was dissatisfied with the imperial decree and blamed the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide by hitting the pillar!"
