Houmen's wife

Chapter 168 Deposing the Empress (7)
The queen looked at her, still took a sip of tea, but relaxed on the back of the chair.

"However, he didn't after all. Xiaoye, Concubine Jing's place was brightly lit. I gritted my teeth and stayed up all night. However, when she left that day, the other side of the wall finally became quiet, but I felt empty and lonely. "

Yanling raised her head and glanced at Bai Ling, then turned her head to the queen and said, "Queen, do you know why I take refuge in you?"

The queen was startled, isn't it for power?

Yanling lowered her head and chuckled, "It's because I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I even hate that the muddy water of the palace has nothing to do with me, it seems that I'm just superfluous. So, I'm here. Watch a play in the palace."

The queen took a deep breath, looked at the table in front of her in a daze, and said with a concentrated expression, "So, are you using me?"

"Aren't you?" Yanling replied, "However, I thought the show was about to begin, but you were brought to the surface. You have always been behind the scenes manipulating the harem, watching these newcomers change into old ones, watching those people... To be favored, to fall out of favor, to become unknown, and you are the only winner in the end.”

She stopped laughing, and seeing the executioner winking at the two eunuchs, she whispered to the maid next to her, "Bring the wine and reward money."

The queen glanced at Yanling in surprise, Yanling was still smiling, took the plate handed over by the maid, and said to the execution mother, "Give me a moment, mother, I will have a drink with the empress. It’s the sisterhood of these days.” After speaking, she handed over a black purse.

The purse is heavy, Guan Yu knew it with a satisfied smile after weighing it.

Seeing the executioner take two steps back, Yanling raised her glass to salute the queen, but her voice became softer, "You said today I delayed your punishment, and in the future, you will be the last one." The winner?" As she spoke, the smile in the corners of Yanling's eyes deepened, but she put the wine glass into the hands of the thoughtful queen.

The queen took the wine and tasted it carefully, but she didn't say a word.

The time passed slowly, and after half a quarter had passed, the execution mother's brows became closer, and the two eunuchs stepped forward to block the nobleman.

The executioner stepped forward, bowed her head and said, "The empress, please go on your way."

The queen paused, put down the tea slowly, and stood up, her sluggish expression suddenly became ferocious, she gritted her teeth and said to the execution mother: "I am the queen, the emperor's first wife, even if I am wrong, I will The palace pleaded with the emperor, my palace also gave birth to three children..."

The executioner saw that the queen was still struggling, this kind of thing happened a lot in the palace, it must have been a lot of trouble if it took a little longer and there were so many people in the palace.Seeing this, the two eunuchs immediately stepped forward and were about to arrest the queen.

"Let go! Whoever dares to touch me, I'm still the queen!" She finally cried out, and her shrill voice shocked the hall.

It's just that no one seemed to hear her words, so she intensified her efforts and moved towards the white silk hanging high.

The queen panicked, seeing the white silk getting closer and closer, she couldn't help backing away in fear, but her hands were clamped, she couldn't move, her body trembled violently.

"Stop! Who dares to touch my queen mother!"

Several people searched for their reputation, and the second prince was standing in front of the door, behind him Jiang Qianrong was holding a yellow imperial decree.The executioner immediately knelt down, Yanling squinted her eyes and smiled, and then knelt down.

The queen looked at the second child in a daze, and immediately threw herself on him, tears streaming down her face.

Jiang Qianrong stepped forward, "By God's destiny, the emperor said that the queen's death penalty can be avoided. Because of the filial piety of the second prince, today I only exchanged the death penalty for deposing the queen's position, and degraded Shi's family as Shifei. I admire you."

After Jiang Qianrong finished reading, the empress stiffened all over, crippling me?He actually abolished me?
The queen squeezed her hand tightly until the slender fingers pierced the skin, and a little blood oozes from the palm of her hand, then she smiled and knelt down, "Thank you, Lord Rongen."

The second prince embraced the queen, took a deep breath, looked at the queen's somewhat messy hair, he helped smooth it out, and then said carefully: "Mother, it's all right."

The queen raised her eyes to look at the second prince, how could it be all right, how could it be all right!She lowered her head, took a deep breath, and said to the second prince, "I'm tired, you all go out."

The second prince looked at the empty hands, a little dazed.

Jiang Qianrong took a deep look at Concubine Shi, turned his head and said to the Second Prince: "Your Highness has an injury on his face, please rest in front of the hall first, the imperial doctor will come in a while, let Concubine Shi have a good rest."

The second prince nodded, looked at Concubine Shi worriedly, and left with his head bowed.

Queen, no, Concubine Shi is sitting on the chair, her eyes are rolling around, she clenches her lips tremblingly, her whole body is full of fear of the upcoming unknown and known, for 20 years, she has always been there Manipulating the gains and losses of others, she fell from the position of queen today, who will be the queen, who will snatch her throne, a moment of apprehension, her heart thumping wildly.

Two figures appeared in my mind, is it Duanmu Qiyue or Duanmu Yuni?

She took a deep breath, this kind of fear cannot continue, no matter which one, she will not allow it!
She gritted her teeth, thinking about the next plan, looked up at the curtain by the door that was constantly swinging because of the second prince's departure, suddenly, her eyes froze, and then continued to turn.

A moment of hesitation lingered in her heart, should she use this trick?
However, the hesitation in her heart was immediately swallowed by the oncoming crisis. What she wanted was to keep her position, keep everything, and restore everything to the way it was before. She just wanted to be the only one at the helm!
In the morning of the next day, the palace fell into calm again, but the undercurrent was raging and even turbulent.

The lower-ranked women in the harem took out their precious things one after another and headed towards the two palaces respectively.

In just a moment, the chairs in front of Yongfu Palace and Youchun Palace were already full of people.

The front hall of Yongfu Palace was already full of people, Suxin and Yuwei dismissed them only because the empress was pregnant and felt unwell, and received the gift as usual, waiting for everyone to leave.The two looked at each other and let out a breath.

A woman was lying on her side on the red-golden soft couch. The woman's almond eyes were slightly opened, "Let Xiao Yizi come in."
