The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 191

In the Imperial Study Room of Chengguang Hall, Sun Kui was reporting to Emperor Zhou Wu the ins and outs of the snake appearing in the spring hunting paddock.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of Zhou had a calm expression, as if he had already guessed who the real mastermind behind the scenes was.

Seeing that Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't respond at all, Sun Kui asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, did you already know that the mastermind behind the scenes is the empress?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou's legs were on the imperial table, and his feet were shaking.

"Who else but her." After speaking, he raised the corner of his mouth and let out a sneer, "She can only fool anyone with her brain, but herself."

Hearing that Emperor Zhou Wu's tone was full of dislike for Empress Xie, Sun Kui thought that if the empress knew that she was so disgusted by the emperor, she would not know how she would feel.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

"Let Concubine De come out." Emperor Zhou Wu said indifferently, "You show the investigation results to the queen."

Sun Kui was a little surprised when he heard Emperor Zhou Wu's last sentence of anger: "Your Majesty, are you not going to Zhaoyang Palace?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced sideways at Sun Kui, "What am I going to Zhaoyang Palace for?"

"You don't go..." Sun Kui considered his words carefully, "Aren't you going to talk about the Empress?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou frowned, and said with a cold expression: "I am too lazy to tell her."

"Then...is it just to show the results of the investigation to the Empress?" Did Sun Kui mean that Emperor Wu of Zhou would not punish Empress Xie?
"I can't punish her for the time being, after all, my concubine is still living in Zhaoyang Palace." Emperor Wu of Zhou said while picking his nose, "Tell her, for the sake of my concubine, I won't care about her for the time being." .” After speaking, he flicked the booger off his finger.

"Warn her to be more honest, don't do any more unreputable things." Emperor Wu of Zhou continued to pick his nose, "I don't have that much patience, and I won't forgive her again and again."

Seeing that Emperor Wu of Zhou said these words in a neither salty nor light tone, Sun Kui couldn't tell whether he was angry or not.

"Your Majesty, are you angry with the Empress?" He asked directly.

Emperor Wu of Zhou rolled his eyes at Sun Kui and said, "Do I have so much free time, I don't have time to be angry with her."

If the empress heard the emperor's words, she didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

After Zhou Wudi picked his nose, he stretched out his hand and scratched his buttocks.

"Do I sometimes really suspect that the queen is the old town's own daughter?"

Sun Kui asked in astonishment: "Your Majesty, why do you say that?"

"Because the queen is so stupid." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "The old Duke of Zhen didn't mention it, he just said Duke Zhen and Xie Wan. They are both smart people, but the queen is a fool."

Emperor Wu of Zhou propped his face with his right hand and said, "Duke Zhen is a very shrewd person, Xie Wan is a very smart and clear person, and the queen..." At this point, Emperor Wu of Zhou slapped his mouth, "You Look at the things she has done in the past few years, which one is smart. She also thinks that she hides it very well. "

"Compared to Zhen Guogong and the former empress, the empress is indeed inferior." Sun Kui said, "After all, the empress is the daughter of the Xie family, and she has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, so it is normal for her to be a little willful. "The empress always pretends to be dignified and elegant in front of the emperor and others, but in fact her true face has long been seen through by the emperor.In the eyes of the emperor, the empress is just a spoiled young lady.

"Arrogance made her brainless." Emperor Wu of Zhou shook his head and said.

"However, Your Majesty, the empress is very concerned about you." The empress is a wayward daughter-in-law of a powerful family. She never restrains her temper in front of others, but in front of the emperor, she is very dignified and gentle. .

"Aren't they all dignified and gentle in front of me?"

"The emperor said so."

"If I didn't look at Xie Wan's face, I really..."

Before the first queen died, she begged Emperor Wu of Zhou to treat Queen Xie kindly.

"Fortunately, she still has some brains, and she didn't make any big troubles." Empress Xie has done a lot of small tricks in the past few years, which are harmless, so Emperor Wu of Zhou turned a blind eye to her actions.

"The Empress knows your Ni Lin, it is impossible and she dare not do anything to anger you."

"That's why Lord Zhen arranged for Qin Xiulian to appear in front of me." With such a stupid younger sister who couldn't help her at all times and dragged her back, Lord Zhen had no choice but to find another way. "You said that she has always been by Xie Wan's side since she was a child, why didn't she learn Xie Wan's intelligence at all?"

"Your Majesty, how many women in this world can be as smart as the former Empress?" No, in the Emperor's heart, Liang Zhaoyi is the smartest and most beautiful woman in the world.

"Look how she taught Xiao Qi." Emperor Wu of Zhou said in a contemptuous tone, "Their mother and son thought they hid it well. Do you think they treat me as a fool or as a blind man?"

Sun Kui said silently in his heart: Your Majesty, is this why you don't like His Highness the Seventh Prince?

"Based on her status as the daughter of the Xie family, the empress thinks she is nobler than anyone else. As for Xiao Qi, because she is the son of the son and the nephew of the son of the Xie family, she also thinks that she is more noble than the prince. I think I should make him the crown prince."

It was difficult for Sun Kui to respond to Emperor Wu of Zhou's words.

"Both the mother and son believe that they are of noble blood and that all people in the world should respect them."

Sun Kui could only respond with a dry smile.

"You go to see the queen, and tell her what I just said." Zhou Wudi really didn't bother to see Queen Xie.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Kui bowed to Emperor Wu of Zhou, then bowed and retreated.

Sun Doudou, who was guarding the door of the imperial study room, saw Sun Kui coming out with an uneasy face, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong with you, the emperor reprimanded you?"

Sun Kui hit Sun Doudou on the head with his fly whisk, and said angrily: "Our family did not make any mistakes. The emperor reprimanded our family for what to do."

Sun Doudou smiled flatteringly at him: "Didn't I see something wrong with your face?"

"Let's go to Zhaoyang Palace, you should watch carefully at the gate." Sun Kui shook the whisk and went to Zhaoyang Palace.

In Zhaoyang Palace, Empress Xie learned that Sun Kui was here, thinking that he was ordered by Emperor Wu of Zhou to visit Qin Xiulian, but she did not expect to come to see her.

"Eunuch Sun, do you have any orders from the emperor?" Empress Xie guessed that Qin Xiulian should be related, and she was very upset, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked this servant to show you this." Sun Kui took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Empress Xie with both hands.

Empress Xie took the envelope, seeing that there was nothing written on it, she was puzzled.

"This is?"

"You'll know it when you see it."

Upon hearing this, Queen Xie opened the envelope and looked at the contents of the letter, her complexion suddenly changed.Her eyes widened, and a look of shock appeared on her normally dignified and decent face.

Seeing Empress Xie's frightened expression, Sun Kui told Empress Xie exactly what Emperor Wu of Zhou had told him.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor told you not to do these things again." The original words of Emperor Wu of Zhou were not popular, Sun Kui couldn't tell Empress Xie so directly, so he could only convey them tactfully. "The emperor also said that his patience was not that good, and he forgave you for what you did again and again."

Empress Xie's face was pale, and the hand holding the letter trembled slightly.

"The emperor said that for the sake of Miss Qin recovering from her injuries in Zhaoyang Palace, let's forget about this time."

When Empress Xie heard this, her pale face suddenly turned red, with a shameful and angry expression on her face.

"Empress Empress, what the emperor asked the servant to tell you, the servant has already told you." Seeing Empress Xie's ugly face, Sun Kui hurriedly saluted and left. "Slaves leave."

After Sun Kui left, Empress Xie tore the letter into pieces.

Jiang Chuan, who was standing aside, was terrified.She didn't expect the emperor to investigate the matter of spring hunting and releasing snakes so clearly.They obviously did a perfect job, why did the emperor still investigate them.

Thinking of what they did, the emperor knew that Jiang Chuan was trembling with fright.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor actually knows everything..."

"For Qin Xiulian's sake, forgive me..." Empress Xie was most concerned about this, not that Emperor Wu of Zhou found out that she was the culprit for setting snakes on the spring hunt.

On the other hand, Concubine De knew that she had lifted the ban and no longer had to be under house arrest in Yishou Palace, knowing that Emperor Wu of Zhou had found out the real mastermind behind the scenes and returned her innocence.

"Your Majesty, it's really kind of the emperor to return your innocence." Man Qing was very happy for Concubine De.

"I didn't do it in the first place." Concubine De said, her face became resentful, "It must have been done by the empress."

"Your Majesty, it's possible that Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang did it, not necessarily the Empress Dowager."

"Concubine Shu is not so stupid, and Concubine Liang doesn't have such scheming, only the Queen." Concubine De said bitterly, "She wants to kill two birds with one stone."

"Your Majesty, if it was really made by the Empress, the Empress should release a very poisonous snake to kill Concubine Rong." Man Qing didn't think it was done by Empress Xie, "The snakes in the paddock are just ordinary poisonous snakes, not fatal. "

"She doesn't have the guts." Concubine De laughed contemptuously, "The Empress doesn't have the guts to let the most poisonous snake kill Concubine Rong."

"Why is this?"

"Because the emperor cares about Concubine Rong." Concubine De said coldly, "If Concubine Rong is bitten to death by a poisonous snake, the emperor will never let it go, and the emperor will never let her, the empress, be lightly spared."

"Your Majesty is right." Man Qing said again, "The Emperor did not punish the Empress."

"It's a blessing to have a good sister." Concubine De hated Empress Xie very much in her heart, "I will definitely discuss this with the Empress."

In Zhaoyang Palace, Concubine Rong learned that the emperor ordered to release Concubine De from house arrest, and also knew that Concubine De was not the mastermind of the snake release before Emperor Wu of Zhou found out.

Jin Mei said, "Looks like she's the queen."

"Who else is there besides her?" Concubine Rong had long suspected that it was Empress Xie.

"However, the emperor did not punish the queen."

"That bitch Xie Yi has done so many things, the emperor has punished her several times." Concubine Rong gritted her teeth angrily and said, "For the sake of the former empress, the emperor opened his eyes to what that bitch Xie Yi did." Just close one eye."

"Your Majesty, you were bitten by a snake, and you are a poisonous snake." Jin Mei complained for Concubine Rong, "How could the Emperor treat you like this?"

"Aren't I okay?" Concubine Rong said, "If something happens to me, the emperor will naturally not spare that bitch the queen."

Jin Mei was still upset for Concubine Rong: "But..."

Concubine Rong interrupted Jin Mei, "The empress is nothing to be afraid of, our biggest opponent now is Qin Xiulian."

Although Concubine Rong hated Empress Xie very much, she never took Empress Xie seriously, because she knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't like Empress Xie.The reason why the emperor respects Empress Xie is mainly for the sake of the former Empress and Xie's family.

However, Qin Xiulian was different.She looks exactly like Si Youying, whom Emperor Wu of Zhou has always missed.The emperor took Qin Xiulian to heart.
