The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

When the queen heard the emperor's words, the mockery in her tone became more and more obvious. "I really regret it. I shouldn't have gotten rid of Chun Yuan that day. I should have watched Chun Yuan grow old day by day, and her appearance would no longer be as beautiful as when she was young. Would the emperor still love her as deeply as he does now?"

The emperor said angrily, "A kind heart makes a beautiful face! A vicious woman like you will never understand!"

The Queen laughed out loud as if she had heard a big joke. "Kindhearted? Chun Yuan is a pure little white flower only in your heart. In this harem, who can survive to the end with a kind heart? Even you, the Emperor, can be considered a kind hearted person?"

The reason why the queen dared to be so hysterical with the emperor was because she still had her own trump card. That person had promised her that once the matter was accomplished, she could still sit on the throne of the queen and enjoy the fine clothes and delicious food.

The emperor looked at the queen steadily, as if he was meeting her for the first time. "I never knew that you and I were so different in our thoughts. Well, for the sake of our relationship as husband and wife, I won't mind your crazy talk just now."

The emperor looked at Su Peisheng and said, "Pass on my decree. Wulanala Yixiu has been the empress, but she has committed immoral acts, is jealous, and has framed concubines and the heir to the throne. Her words and deeds are outrageous, and she has violated the etiquette of the palace and damaged the dignity of the royal family. I will not impose criminal law on her because of our past friendship. From today on, I will take back Wulanala Yixiu's phoenix seal and golden book, abolish her status as empress, and demote her to a commoner. Jingren Palace will be her cold palace from now on, and no one in Jingren Palace is allowed to leave without my decree."

When Su Peisheng heard the emperor's words, he sighed inwardly that the queen had indeed not been able to survive this disaster. It was no wonder that the emperor was furious. She was clearly the master of the harem, yet she was still restless and repeatedly attacked the royal heir. She was truly vicious.

At this moment, the three people in the hall heard a loud noise outside, and the footsteps of a large number of guards and the sound of fighting reached their ears.

When the queen heard the voice, her heart tightened. The emperor took Su Peisheng to the door, but before they could open it, the people outside had already rushed in.

The leader was the emperor's seventeenth brother, Prince Guo. Upon seeing this, the emperor's face changed and he asked, "Seventeenth brother, what are you doing?"

Prince Guo had just received news from the palace in his mansion, saying that it had been done, that the Queen and his people had successfully drugged the Emperor, and that now was a good time to seize power, so Prince Guo could not wait to break into the palace with his guards.

Unexpectedly, he saw the emperor standing in front of him unharmed, questioning him angrily. Prince Guo realized that he had been reckless and had fallen into someone else's trap. He was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to explain.

The emperor raised his voice again and asked, "You came here with your guards, are you going to attack me?"

When Prince Guo saw this, he knew that the emperor would not believe him anymore, so he decided to go all out and admit it, "You and I both know how my brother ascended to the throne. Now I am just unwilling to accept it and want to compete with my brother."

The emperor was so angry at Prince Guo's remarks that he laughed, "You are so good, Old Seventeen. I always thought you were a playboy. I never thought you were such a good actor. You even hid it from me!"

Prince Guo also said with great vigor, "Brother, you don't have to speak so righteously. If you really regarded me as a brother, how could you force my mother to become a nun after ascending the throne?"

Prince Guo had already made up his mind. Regardless of whether this attempt to usurp the throne could succeed or not, he could make it appear that the emperor was relentless towards them, mother and son, forcing him to lead his troops in a rebellion. Even if he failed, it would be enough to make the world despise the emperor a little.

The Queen looked at Prince Guo at this time, and tried to dissuade him, "Seventeenth brother, don't be confused!"

Prince Guo looked at the queen, his usual suave smile showing on his lips, and he comforted her in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Since I entered the palace, the emperor's confidants have been imprisoned and those who should be killed have been killed. The emperor has no one to use for the time being."

When the Queen heard what Prince Guo said, she thought of the Emperor's indifference to her just now, and she hardened her heart and stood up behind Prince Guo.

The emperor was a little annoyed when he saw this and said, "You two have colluded with each other!"

The queen looked at the emperor. Her expression was no longer full of affection, but hatred: "Your Majesty, you boast of your fame, but you don't know that I have already arranged everything in the palace. I am just waiting for you to step down and give up the throne!"

At this time, a voice that sounded like the sound of nature to the emperor's ears rang out from outside the palace, "Who said that the emperor has no one to use?"

The Queen and Prince Guo were also startled when they heard the familiar and arrogant female voice. Then they turned around and saw Nian Shilan walking in in a red dress.

"Royal Concubine, you are not dead!" The Queen looked incredulous.

"You must be disappointed that I'm not dead!" Nian Shilan said sarcastically.

"Hmph! So what even if you come? None of you can leave here today!" Prince Guo shouted.

"Just you?" Nian Shilan looked at him with disdain. "Do you think these people you brought with you can accomplish anything? Look at who's outside!"

Prince Guo turned his head and looked outside the door, only to see densely packed soldiers filling the entire palace.

"This is impossible! How come you have so many people?" Prince Guo widened his eyes.

"I have to thank my good brother!" Nian Shilan said with a smile, "If he hadn't secretly dispatched troops to me, how could I have come to rescue you in such a timely manner!"

After hearing what Nian Shilan said, the emperor secretly thanked God that he did not trust the wrong person.

"Come here! Take down these two traitors!" As soon as the emperor gave the order, the soldiers rushed forward immediately.

When Prince Guo and the Queen were pinned to the ground, they were still in disbelief. They didn't know which link had gone wrong and why they failed before they could do anything.

The queen came to her senses and said in surprise: "Your Majesty? You already knew it!"

Although the Queen was asking the Emperor, she was almost certain in her heart that the Emperor had known about these things from the beginning, and had been keeping it secret, watching how these events developed, and then catching them all in one fell swoop at the critical moment.

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She wondered what kind of person the emperor was, to be so cold and indifferent that he even ignored the years of love between them.

The emperor naturally understood what the queen was thinking. He looked directly at the queen and said calmly, "I gave you a chance. You summoned Concubine Chun to Jingren Palace, and I summoned her to sleep with me in the evening. Don't you understand what I mean?"
