The queen didn't know what Xu Shoufu was thinking, but waited anxiously at the door of the imperial study room for Emperor Jiaqing's summons.

The young eunuch had already gone in to report the matter. Although he had only been in for a short time, every minute and second was torture for Queen Yu and Aunt Cao.

In the imperial study, Emperor Jiaqing heard the young eunuch coming to report that the queen was outside asking for an audience.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Let her come in."

When the young eunuch heard this, he responded and went out to tell the queen about Emperor Jiaqing letting her in.

"The Emperor has agreed to see you. My Majesty, please come in."

When the queen heard this, she took a deep breath and walked inside.

Naturally, Aunt Cao couldn't go in with him, so she waited there, but she couldn't stop the worry in her heart.

They were also not sure whether Emperor Jiaqing could agree to let Pingyang Houfu go. After all, he was not close to Pingyang Houfu, the Yue family.

As for the queen, his legitimate wife, judging from the fact that he took away the rights from the queen a few months ago, it is obvious that he does not have much affection for her.

In fact, Aunt Cao and the Queen knew this in their hearts, but they had no choice but to come to Emperor Jiaqing and there was nothing they could do.

The queen entered the royal study and looked at Emperor Jiaqing who was sitting in front of the desk. Her eyes were in a trance.

The man in front of him was wearing a nine-color dragon-patterned robe, and he had an extraordinary bearing. His face was even more handsome, and his eyebrows were like swords.

When she once learned that she had been granted a marriage by the late emperor and married him, she didn't know how happy she was.

They were husband and wife, and they were supposed to be the closest people in the world, but I don't know when they started to drift apart, and even reached this situation now.

"I see you, Your Majesty." The queen was brought back from her thoughts and knelt down towards Emperor Jiaqing.

"You came to see me about Pingyang Hou Mansion." This sentence was both a question and an affirmation.

After all, anyone without a brain can guess why the queen came here at this time.

"Yes." The queen did not mince words, and immediately said to Emperor Jiaqing: "I know that my father and brother have done something wrong, but I beg you, your majesty, please spare their lives for the sake of the friendship between us and our husband for many years. "

The queen said and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Jiaqing.

She knocked her head very hard, and it was not fake at all. When she raised her head, her forehead was red.

Emperor Jiaqing glanced at her coldly, not feeling hurt at all by her actions.

He said calmly: "Since you already know the crimes committed by Pingyang Hou and his son, you must also know the extent of their crimes. The emperor's crime is the same as that of the common people, let alone the Pingyang Hou Mansion. "

Hearing this, the queen looked up at Emperor Jiaqing and said, "What if it is Concubine Hui who comes to plead for mercy today? Will Your Majesty be lenient?"

"I believe that Concubine Hui's family would not do such a thing." Upon hearing this, Emperor Jiaqing frowned and looked at the Queen, and then said coldly.

"You are the daughter of the Marquis of Pingyang. Now that the Marquis of Pingyang has made such a big mistake, the position of queen cannot be held by the daughter of a criminal minister like you. You have resigned from the position of queen. I will be generous and keep you." Your father and brother’s life.”

Hearing Emperor Jiaqing's words, the queen's face flashed with panic. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Emperor Jiaqing and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to dethrone my concubine from the position of queen?"

In fact, when something happened at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, she worried with Aunt Cao whether she would be implicated, but when she heard it from Emperor Jiaqing, she still couldn't accept the fact.

"Your Majesty asked your concubine to come to the palace on her own. Are you going to give the queen's position to that woman, Concubine Hui?!" The queen's voice couldn't help but become louder.

When something happened to the Li family, Princess Yu was not implicated in any way, so why couldn't she.

After all, it’s not as sinful as a married woman, right?

Some time ago, the reason why Princess Yu was deposed as a princess and demoted to an ordinary concubine was because Princess Yu deliberately caused trouble for the Jiang family and offended the Jiang family.

After all, when Princess Yu deliberately made things difficult for the female family members of the Jiang family outside the palace on Emperor Jiaqing's birthday, many people saw it. On the second day, Emperor Jiaqing summoned Prince Yu to the palace. Within a few days, Prince Yu wrote a memorial, saying that he would depose Princess Yu from her position as princess. He wanted to say that this matter had nothing to do with Princess Yu's offense against the Jiang family. No one believed it at all.

Emperor Jiaqing liked Jiang Wan so much now, so the queen felt that the reason why Emperor Jiaqing wanted to destroy her must be for Jiang Wan.
