Chapter 367 Brother's Death and Brother's Death 6
"My mother is unwilling to accept this either!" The Queen Mother could not help but burst into tears. "But you have seen the current situation. The Emperor has placed me under house arrest in Ningshou Palace. He is treating me as an enemy and guarding against me!"
"Under such circumstances, how can I plan for the emperor's offspring? If I can't plan for the emperor's offspring, how can I talk about the succession from brother to brother?"
"Mother, why don't we just kill the emperor directly!" Prince Gong said fiercely, "The emperor has already abolished Luo Zi's position as queen. Perhaps we can use that stupid woman Luo Zi to kill the emperor. After the emperor dies, you, the queen dowager, can push your son to the throne."
"What?" the Queen Mother said in shock. "The Emperor abolished Luo Zi's position as Queen. How dare he? How could he be so cruel? The Luo family has an abandoned Queen. How can the Luo family gain a foothold in the court in the future?"
"That's why I want to kill the emperor," Prince Gong grabbed the empress dowager's hand, "Mother, I know you can't bear to do this, but the emperor doesn't take you as his biological mother seriously, so why are you still being soft-hearted with the emperor?"
"You are right," the Queen Mother said with a fierce expression, "Since the Emperor does not take me, his biological mother, seriously, why should I be soft-hearted towards him? However, the matter of regicide needs to be carefully considered. After all, the Emperor does not only have you as a brother. Even if I want to push you to the throne, it depends on whether your other brothers agree."
"So you must have enough support in the court, especially from the military officers. You must find a way to win over the military officers who hold military power to support you."
"The general has a second legitimate daughter," Prince Gong immediately thought of a candidate, "I heard that she likes to wield swords and is extremely vulgar. She is only sixteen years old, and no one has come to propose marriage. If I can make the general's second legitimate daughter marry me and make her marry me as a concubine, then when the emperor passes away, the general will be my son's most powerful supporter."
At the same time, on Jiang Chunxi's side.
"How do you feel today?" The emperor sat on the bed and looked at Jiang Chunxi who was lying on the bed with concern. "Do you still feel uncomfortable?"
"I feel much better now," Jiang Chunxi said weakly, "At least I don't have any more stomach cramps today. I think the baby in my belly is safe."
"That's good, that's good," the emperor was finally in a good mood, "Jiang concubine, as long as you give birth to the child safely, I will make you a noble concubine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace," Jiang Chunxi said, her expression not too happy. "I just hope to give birth to my baby safely without any accidents. As for the position of Imperial Concubine, I don't have any idea."
"As long as I can give birth to my baby safely, I would rather not be a noble concubine," Jiang Chunxi said with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I am still terrified when I think of what happened that day. It was almost, it was almost like the baby in my belly would be gone."
"Okay, it's over," the emperor consoled her. "The most important thing for you now is to rest assured and take care of your baby. I promise you that I will never let you have an accident like that again."
"Yes! I believe in Your Majesty," Jiang Chunxi quickly stopped crying and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, have you found out who is harming the royal heir? The person behind this is so despicable. Who gives him the confidence to harm the royal heir again and again?"
"I have already deposed the empress," the emperor did not directly answer Jiang Chunxi's question, "so this matter is over, don't mention it again in the future."
Then the emperor stood up and said, "I still have government affairs to attend to. You should take a good rest. I will come to see you tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell." Although Jiang Chunxi could not stand up, she had to show the proper respect.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect the Emperor to really depose the Queen," Wen Qing said after helping Jiang Chunxi sit up, "It seems that the Emperor doesn't really love the Queen that much. Otherwise, if he really loves the Queen so deeply, he would never depose her no matter what."
"For an emperor, power is the most important thing, no matter how much a woman loves him, that's all," Jiang Chunxi sneered, "But I didn't expect the emperor to depose the queen. I thought it would take more trouble to make the emperor depose the queen."
What childhood sweethearts? It turns out they are just that. If the queen is really that important to the emperor, he would never depose her so easily.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Wen Qing asked, "Although the Queen has been deposed and the Queen Mother has been placed under house arrest, the Emperor can't keep the Queen Mother under house arrest forever! As long as the Queen Mother is around, we can't let our guard down, so it's best to find a way to expose the affair between the Queen and Prince Gong."
"Let's wait! After all, if we want to expose the affair between Prince Gong and the Queen, we have to rely on someone else to do it," Jiang Chunxi said, "so this matter must be carefully planned."
The next morning in the court, no minister stood up to say anything about the emperor's announcement of the dethronement of the queen.
The emperor had lost so many heirs at once, and what happened at the New Year's Eve palace banquet, what was there to be unclear about? The queen was a jealous and vicious woman, and it was right for such a vicious woman to be deposed? Who would be so blind as to advise the emperor to think twice and stop him from deposing the queen?
As for the officials of the Luo family in the court, they didn't even dare to fart. The emperor had only deposed the queen. If the people of the Luo family dared to say anything, the emperor might not let the Luo family go either.
So that's what I said! Are the Queen Mother and the Empress crazy? Even if they want to murder the heir to the throne, they can't be so reckless!
"What? The Emperor only deposed the wicked queen and didn't sentence her to death," Sun Changzai looked at the eunuch who came in to report with great anger. "Why, why did the Emperor want to spare the life of that wicked woman and let her retain her position as a concubine?"
"Ah!" Sun Changzai threw things madly, "Why? Why can that vicious woman kill my child and still live well as her concubine Jing?"
Yes, the Queen is now Concubine Jing.
The news that the queen was deposed but retained her position as concubine had already spread in the harem.
So it wasn't just Concubine Sun who went crazy, several other concubines who had miscarriages were also going crazy, especially Concubine Wu, who was the craziest.
Although it was Concubine Wu who fell and caused the baby to not be lost, the problem is that even the Emperor did not believe that Concubine Wu's miscarriage was an accident, let alone Concubine Wu.
Therefore, Concubine Wu hated the Queen so much that not only did she throw things around like crazy in her own palace, she also cursed without restraint.
Even the emperor was scolded.
Fortunately, no one is paying attention to Concubine Wu now, otherwise, if Concubine Wu dared to scold even the Emperor, and if the news got to the Emperor, Concubine Wu would probably be finished.
The day of Prince Gong's wedding soon arrived, and the Empress Dowager was released by the Emperor.
After all, she is the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor cannot keep her under house arrest forever.
