Chapter 419 Final Victory, Relive the Story
As for whether the Sixth Prince will inherit the throne in the future, that is too far away.
The Emperor is now in his prime, and the Sixth Prince is still young. Even though he is somewhat intelligent and can gain some favor from the Emperor, that is because the Sixth Prince has not posed a threat to the imperial power for the time being.
When the Sixth Prince grows up, the Emperor may not still love him as much as he does now.
Just like the late emperor’s crown prince, the late emperor raised the crown prince personally and had deep feelings for the crown prince.
But later, the father and son came to a head-on confrontation, and in the end the throne did not fall to the former crown prince, now Prince Li.
But a temporary victory means nothing. Only the final victory can be considered a real win.
Sooner or later she will have a prince of her own, and it won't be too late to deal with the Sixth Prince then.
"Okay, I promise you, I will take care of this matter, but please help me protect my mother's family."
Chun'er was silent for a long time before she knelt in front of the queen again and spoke in a pleading tone.
"Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, I will not treat you unfairly."
Upon hearing this, the Queen reached out and patted Chun'er's little face, revealing a satisfied smile.
At this moment, the queen, who was full of self-satisfaction, did not notice the dark light hidden in Chun'er's eyes at all.
That's right. After Chun'er had truly experienced the queen's turning her back on her, she deeply realized that the queen was a fickle person. If she really believed her lies, she and her mother's family might not be able to survive.
After all, the Queen had not given her a clear promise just now, which showed that she was sure she had no other way, so she was so careless in her perfunctory response.
She had to find a reliable way out for herself and her mother's family.
Chun'er thought about this and quickly left the Queen's Palace.
Not long after Chun'er left, Su Peisheng arrived at Jingren Palace.
"Empress, the Emperor wants to see you. Please go to the Yangxin Palace."
Su Peisheng bowed respectfully to the queen without showing any strange expression on his face.
The queen was slightly stunned, looked at the sky outside which was already dark, and began to feel uneasy.
The queen quickly realized that the emperor must have found out something, so he asked her to come over for questioning.
Fortunately, I have just confessed to Chun'er. If the emperor really interrogates me at that time, I just need to deny it to the death. The emperor cannot really depose me from the position of queen without solid evidence.
Thinking of this, the queen concentrated her mind slightly, looked at Su Peisheng and smiled faintly.
"I'm going to change my clothes."
Su Peisheng nodded but didn't say much.
No matter what, the Queen is the mother of the country, and he, a servant, has no right to show off in front of her. Even in the current situation, he is unwilling to leak any news easily and let the Queen notice something unusual.
After the queen brought Jianqiu into the inner room, she ordered Jianqiu to take out the dress.
Jianqiu didn't expect that the Queen would actually bring up that piece of clothing on her own initiative. After all, that piece of clothing was the one that the Queen was most reluctant to see, but she was reluctant to throw it away.
I had no choice but to order my servant to put it at the innermost part of the box.
After all, when the Second Prince passed away, the Empress was wearing that piece of clothing.
Jianqiu looked at the Queen with some worry, opened her mouth hesitantly, but in the end said nothing.
The queen naturally did not miss Jianqiu's gaze, and she didn't want to see that dress again, because it would remind her of the night that made her desperate.
She wore this dress and held Honghui, who had a high fever, and watched his rosy little face gradually turn pale in her arms, and his warm little body eventually turn cold.
She didn't want to recall such despair again.
But she had no way of throwing this dress away. After all, this was the dress that Honghui liked to see her wear the most, and it was also one of the few relics that Honghui left her.
After all, most of the things were burned directly to Honghui by the emperor after Honghui's death.
So even though she didn't want to see this dress again, she still couldn't throw it away.
Now she wanted to put on this dress again so that the emperor would feel some guilt and pity for her because of what happened that year.
As long as I have this little bit of guilt and compassion, and with Concubine Chun taking the initiative to take responsibility, I think I should be able to get through this smoothly.
After putting on her clothes and standing in front of the bronze mirror and looking at the woman in the mirror, the queen couldn't help but feel a surge of grief in her heart.
"Do you think Honghui will be angry if the prince does this today?"
The queen looked at herself in the mirror and murmured.
It seemed like he was asking Jianqiu who was standing beside him, but it also seemed like he was asking himself.
Jianqiu looked at the empress like this and frowned with heartache.
She was with the Empress and watched the lively and lovely Second Prince pass away. She could understand the pain in the Empress' heart very well.
"My queen, Second Prince has been a filial child since he was young. He has always said that he would protect you. How could he be angry with you?"
"Yes, Honghui has always been a good boy, but such a good boy is not liked by his father."
The queen snorted coldly, her voice full of hatred.
Even though she knew that the incident with Honghui had nothing to do with her sister and that the main responsibility lay with the emperor, she had no way to take action against the emperor and could only vent all her anger on her sister.
In addition, at that time, rather than the emperor doting on her sister, she hated her sister more because she had been so good to her, but had to watch Honghui die young.
She originally thought that her sister was unaware of what she had done, but now thinking carefully about the way her sister looked at her before she passed away, and her smile every time she went to drink tea with her sister, she vaguely realized that perhaps her plan was not as perfect as she had imagined.
My sister might have known about my plan, but because she felt guilty about it, she did not stop it from happening.
She wanted to make up for the pain of losing her son, so in the end, even after knowing that she was the one who did it, she still protected herself in front of the emperor.
So, after she calmed down, she thought carefully about everything that had happened. Perhaps her sister never wanted to marry into the palace, and everything was out of necessity.
Although my elder sister is the legitimate daughter, she has never had the final say on major life events.
She was originally engaged, but because the emperor fell in love with her sister at first sight, her sister was forced to cancel the engagement and marry into the prince's palace.
Looking back now, her sister and the general had a childhood sweetheart friendship. She still remembered that when her sister was in the mansion, her cheeks would blush with joy every time she received a gift from the general.
But my sister never showed such a smile in front of the emperor when she was in the palace.
