Chapter 288 Feeling depressed
"Yinzhen, I swear to heaven that I have never done anything to offend the late emperor."
The Queen Mother stood up and explained loudly.
"I've figured out one thing these days. When Yixiu gave birth, she actually gave birth to a blood clot. I think someone is framing my aunt and nephew."
"Your Majesty, there are people with ulterior motives in the palace. Please send someone to investigate immediately and clear my name."
After she used the abortion pills, her stomach did react and the bleeding wouldn't stop.
After Canglan took care of her for a while, she noticed something was wrong.
But at that time, this rebellious son never showed up and confined her in Shoukang Palace, completely cutting off her contact with the outside world.
Longkodo's incident made her realize the emperor's cruelty.
Little Fourteen is still suffering in the imperial mausoleum, and she must clear the injustices against her.
"Empress Dowager, do you still remember the rockery in the peach forest of Changchun Garden? That's where I often went when I was young."
"It's just that after I accidentally ran into a man and a woman entangled in each other, I never set foot in that place again."
"After I ascended the throne, I razed that peach forest to the ground and turned it into a grassland for people to trample on."
The emperor spoke calmly about the past hidden in his heart.
The Queen Mother, who was standing at the head of the table, was so frightened when she heard this that she fell back into her seat.
Then he heard the emperor say, "Fortunately, your son and I look somewhat similar, otherwise I would be ashamed to sit on the throne."
"You have always doted on Old Fourteen, isn't it him..."
Before the emperor could finish his words, a teacup flew towards him.
He leaned to one side, and some milk spilled onto his clothes.
"Queen Mother, why don't we, mother and son, have a heart-to-heart chat today?"
"I still want to know, if she is so gentle..."
The words Yixiu shouted when she was possessed were like a thorn in his heart. The emperor wanted to know if Rouze was the one that the empress dowager wanted to offer to the emperor to consolidate his favor?
"Get out of here, you unfilial son!"
No one can throw dirty water on Xiao Shisi.
The Queen Mother yelled hysterically.
"I never want to see you again."
"Empress Dowager, I don't want to say anything more. Just enjoy your remaining years in Shoukang Palace. I won't mistreat anyone in this palace."
After the emperor finished speaking, he walked out of Shoukang Palace without looking back.
He took a deep breath of the cold air outside the palace, as if to squeeze out the years of depression in his heart.
"Su Peisheng, Canglan was eavesdropping outside the main hall just now. Send someone to deal with it."
"Your Majesty, I understand."
Su Peisheng answered respectfully. He heard the murderous intent in his master's words and knew that Canglan could not be kept.
The emperor walked quietly on the palace road and felt extremely lonely for a moment.
He walked forward with his head down, and Su Peisheng didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only follow behind.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the emperor looked up again and found the familiar Jingyang Palace in front of him.
Seeing that his master's eyes fell on the palace wall, the clever Su Peisheng trotted over and knocked on the door.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that the Sixth Prince is very intelligent and has borrowed many books from Jingren Palace. The Imperial Concubine Shu is also studying with the Sixth Prince."
"Hongzhan is a good person, and Concubine Shu is also good."
"Su Peisheng, go find the booklet. I want to see what books the mother and son borrowed."
The emperor knew that Su Peisheng mentioned the Sixth Prince to make him feel better, so he took the opportunity to find something for him to do.
After casually flipping through a few ancient books on the bookshelf, the emperor turned and walked to a corner.
He skillfully opened the small door, took out a fire starter from a small drawer, lit three incense sticks to the woman in palace dress in the portrait, and bowed respectfully.
"Mother Tong, I won't be able to visit you anymore."
The fact that the Empress Dowager caught the late Emperor's eye was entirely the result of the planning of the Tonggiya siblings.
Tong's mother needed a child, and no one was easier to control than her brother's childhood sweetheart.
It’s a pity that the brother and sister, who had planned everything, underestimated the wisdom of the emperor and did not register him under the name of Tong E'niang.
No matter what kind of entanglement the Tonggiya siblings had with the Queen Mother, it was all over.
After the emperor burned the portrait hanging on the wall to ashes, he walked out of the small door without any reluctance.
"Su Peisheng, order someone to seal this door."
When the group stepped out of Jingyang Palace, it was already dark.
The hungry emperor then remembered that he had not had dinner yet. When he was about to give an order, he saw a dark shadow approaching quickly on the dark palace road.
The guards guarding behind the emperor immediately stepped forward and drew their swords.
"Stop whoever comes!"
Seeing that she could not move forward, Jianqiu knelt on the ground and cried.
"Your Majesty, I am Jianqiu from Jingren Palace. My queen has a high fever. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and summon the imperial physician to see her."
When the emperor heard that it was someone from Jingren Palace, he questioned him dissatisfiedly.
"Since Concubine Li has a high fever, why don't you ask Concubine Hua for instructions?"
"I ordered her to take over the Phoenix Seal. Did Qiu agree to this, but didn't she receive the order?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not."
"Your Majesty, if you go to Jingren Palace yourself, you will understand the reason."
Concubine Hua was vicious, and the slaves in the Imperial Household Department treated everyone in Jingren Palace harshly at her instruction.
Especially since the empress, who was so precious, actually used coarse porcelain.
As soon as Jianqiu learned that the emperor had come to the East Six Palaces, she knew that the opportunity had come to make trouble for Concubine Hua.
The emperor was skeptical about the character of the deposed queen and her servant, and glanced back.
"Su Peisheng, have you heard about what happened in Jingren Palace?"
Su Peisheng said carefully.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the cups, bowls, and dishes in Jingren Palace are being used up quite quickly."
Concubine Li was in a bad mood and would lose her temper at the slightest inconvenience.
The commander of the guards complained while drinking that the gate of Jingren Palace was the last thing his subordinates wanted to guard.
Since he has benefited from others, he must share their worries.
The master was extremely frugal and would not tolerate any waste, not to mention that the things in Jingren Palace were all tributes, and some were even antiques from the previous dynasty or even earlier.
Sure enough, the emperor strode forward after hearing this.
He walked around the main hall of Jingren Palace and had a general idea of what was going on.
"Su Peisheng, from now on, all utensils in Jingren Palace will be replaced with coarse pottery. If Concubine Li still doesn't know how to restrain herself, don't provide coarse pottery."
When the emperor regretted deposing the empress, he did not ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take back the items that exceeded the regulations, so they were destroyed.
"Your Majesty, I have poured you a glass of water. This teacup was left by my sister."
A hoarse voice sounded, it was the abandoned queen who had disappeared somewhere unknown.
