HCB Chapter 193: One More Concubine Sun
Chapter 193: One More Concubine Sun
As the Chinese New Year approached, the emperor and the empress forced themselves to act like a harmonious couple.
I thought I would have a good new year this year.
Who knew that on the night of New Year's Eve, news suddenly came that the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion was riding a horse outside the city, injuring people and overturning several porridge shops.
These families are all powerful and established nobles in the capital.
Because the Prince of Zhenguo rode his horse, many people in the mansion were injured.
Miss Sun from the Duke of England's mansion was kind-hearted and went there in person to distribute porridge and preach, but unexpectedly she was accidentally injured.
Several nobles were furious and jointly submitted a memorial, requesting that the emperor severely punish the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo.
The Duke of Zhenguo is from the Queen's mother's family, and the Duke's son is the Queen's brother.
As soon as this incident happened, the whole capital was in an uproar, and everyone was waiting to see the show.
In Fengyi Palace, the Queen sat there in a daze when she heard the news.
Today's palace banquet had just ended, and she thought she had survived another year, but who knew... something still happened.
The Queen's eyes flushed red as she gritted her teeth and said, "He finally couldn't help himself and took action!"
The nanny beside her hurriedly stopped her: "Empress, please be careful with your words!"
The Queen pushed the Nanny's hand away and said, "Why are you being so cautious? I'll be deposed sooner or later anyway. I've had enough of this!"
"Who doesn't know that the nobles who submitted the memorial are all the emperor's eyes and ears?!"
"Big Brother has barely ridden a horse in his life, yet he's riding one in the capital on New Year's Eve... He's such a good-for-nothing that he can't even figure out a clear way to frame someone."
As soon as the queen finished scolding, she saw the maids and servants in Fengyi Palace all kneeling on the ground.
When she turned around, she saw the emperor coming in with a cold face.
The queen's face suddenly darkened.
The two men glared at each other, refusing to give in.
It is rare in the world for an emperor and empress to get along like this.
Both of them had been seriously ill not long ago. Now they are trying to recover, but there is still a trace of illness on their cheeks and they have lost a lot of weight.
The emperor suddenly shouted, "Get out!"
The servants surrounding them all stood up and went out, closing the door behind them.
The Queen said coldly, "Xiao Yuanfang, I am your first wife. If you have the guts, you can destroy me!"
"As the Emperor, you can kill whoever you want. Why do you have to do such shameful things every day?!"
"Today I'm your brother, tomorrow it will be my nephew or my father?"
"Back when you were able to ascend the throne, my Chen family made a lot of efforts. Now you want to kill the rabbit and cook the dog?!"
The emperor looked coldly at the shrew-like woman in front of him, "I have tolerated you for decades, and you are still like this."
The Queen flung her sleeves and said, "I have also tolerated you for decades!"
"What do you think you are?!"
She pointed at the emperor with red eyes, "You are lustful and immoral, arrogant and conceited... Over the years, women have come and gone in the harem, and I no longer care. I just treat it as a show."
"But I finally got pregnant with Cheng'er, and yet you allowed that bitch to harm me time and time again!"
"Cheng'er is the legitimate son and should have been made the crown prince. But since he was born, you haven't mentioned him a single word. You've been disdainful and suppressing him since he was young. Instead, you brought that bitch's son with you and promised him the treatment of a crown prince... I've had enough!"
The queen has endured all these years for the sake of her family and son.
But the emperor had long since despised the seventh prince, and even publicly scolded him for being overwhelmed and full of humiliation.
Now they are attacking the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion...
The incident of the Prince of Zhenguo riding a horse was clearly a plot by the Emperor against the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, who wanted to use it as an excuse to suppress the power of the Queen's family.
The queen didn't want to endure it anymore.
She laughed like a madman, "That bitch was so arrogant that she finally aroused public anger and lost two children in a row. I think she is not young anymore, and I am afraid she won't have the chance to get pregnant again..."
"Over the years, she has been able to call the shots in the imperial court and harem. Which prince has not been offended by her?"
"I am just waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne, and then I will settle all my scores with that bitch!"
The emperor looked at the queen coldly, "She has me to protect her, and she will surely have no worries in her later years."
The queen's expression changed.
The emperor's eyes were filled with disgust: "You vicious woman, do you think I don't know what you've done?"
"The Purple Palace collapsed, the Eighth Prince fell off his horse, and Concubine Chen had a miscarriage... You even dared to participate in rebellion. If it weren't for the bond we've been married to, I would have executed your entire clan long ago!"
Queen: "If you hadn't been forcing me and Cheng'er to stay, how could I have ended up like this?!"
The Emperor: "You are inherently evil. I have shown mercy by tolerating you until now, yet you still refuse to repent..."
The Queen chuckled and said, "Then please ask the Emperor to grant me death!"
After the queen finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully to the emperor.
He actually looked like he wasn't afraid of death.
The emperor choked on the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Since the founding of the country, there has never been a case of an emperor ordering the death of a queen.
No matter how bad the emperor was, he would never want to leave such a bad debt and be laughed at by the world a hundred years later.
He flicked his sleeves and said, "You are my first wife, how could I kill you? Not only that, I won't destroy you."
The emperor's tone was cold: "You will stay in Fengyi Palace from now on. I will let Cheng'er accompany you until you die..."
The queen's eyes were slightly startled, and she instantly understood that the emperor did not want her to die, but wanted to torture her.
The seventh prince has already reached adulthood, and it is time for him to be crowned a king and establish his own court.
The emperor meant that he wanted the Seventh Prince to be the Seventh Prince for the rest of his life, and live in Fengyi Palace forever to accompany her in imprisonment.
The originally dead heart seemed to become even colder.
But the queen was no longer angry.
Ever since her eldest brother got into trouble, she knew that the emperor had already figured out how to deal with her and the seventh prince.
Even if she knelt down and begged for mercy, the emperor would never change his mind.
This man has always been heartless and disloyal.
The queen's cold and dead eyes gradually became firm.
I'm going to die sooner or later anyway, so I might as well give it a try...
The result of the incident in which the Prince of Zhenguo injured someone on horseback was not announced until three days later.
The emperor ordered that the title of the Duke of Zhenguo be stripped away and that he be exiled to Lingnan for twenty years.
Everyone knows that although he was exiled, the Prince of Zhenguo is already quite old.
It is unknown whether there will be any accidents on the road.
Even if I can really live for another twenty years, I will be sixty years old. What’s the point of coming back?
The emperor just wanted to take the life of the prince, but his methods were a bit subtle.
Following this, the Duke of Zhenguo was reprimanded by the emperor, and the official positions of several generations of his descendants, both direct and collateral, changed, and they gradually moved away from the center of power.
After this incident, the Chen family, the Duke of Zhenguo, was completely ruined.
News came from the palace again that the queen was seriously ill and unable to get up, so Concubine Jing and Concubine Rou were asked to assist in managing the affairs of the six palaces.
This matter inevitably reveals some meaning. For the position of crown prince, does the emperor prefer Prince An or Prince Jing?
In the past, everyone only said that Prince An was of low status, but now his biological mother has been promoted from Baolin to Imperial Concubine, and now she is pregnant, which makes her more advantageous than Prince Jing.
Who told him that he didn’t have a princess from the Great Xia Dynasty?
As the Queen was seriously ill, the Emperor only left the Seventh Prince to take care of her personally, and the other concubines and princesses could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But before Princess Jing could catch her breath, news came out from the palace.
The emperor gave the youngest daughter of the Sun family of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion to Prince Jing as a concubine.
When Xie Run heard the news, he was painting a picture of winter plum blossoms, and Taotao was spinning around on the couch next to him... lying sideways.
She put down the last stroke before saying, "It seems that after the New Year, we will have another Concubine Sun in our mansion."
