The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Chapter 184 Palace Change 4

The empress dowager was not surprised to hear the emperor's compromise. Although the emperor was not her biological son, she raised him after all. She had long seen the emperor's attraction to Nian Shilan, so she was not surprised at all by the emperor's compromise.

The emperor walked to the dragon table and ordered Su Peisheng to get pen and ink. The empress dowager and Longkodo strode forward and stood directly in front of the emperor.

At this time, from the emperor's perspective, he could see a small group of Jinyiwei appearing outside the palace again. They were very skilled in martial arts and sneaked behind the death squad without attracting anyone's attention.

When the emperor saw them appear, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. However, the empress dowager and Longkodo were so overwhelmed by victory that they did not realize the danger was coming.

The Jinyiwei were very agile. With a single move of their swords, they chopped off the heads of the five assassins. The blood inevitably sprayed all over Nian Shilan and Songzhi. When the Queen Mother and Longkodo heard the noise and looked back again, they saw that the assassins had fallen in a pool of blood, without a breath. The Jinyiwei outside the door all entered the hall.

At this time, the Queen Mother and Longkodo were completely panicked. Before they could say anything, the Jinyiwei quickly surrounded the Queen Mother and Longkodo.

The emperor watched all this indifferently, his heart filled with anger and disappointment. The emperor ordered the Jinyiwei: "Catch these two traitors!"

After receiving the order, the Jinyiwei quickly stepped forward to subdue the empress dowager and Longkodo.

At this time, the emperor ignored the Queen Mother and Longkodo who were kneeling on the ground, but walked quickly to Nian Shilan and said gently, "Shilan, how are you?"

Nian Shilan looked at the emperor in front of her. Although she was disappointed, she could not show it on her face. So Nian Shilan looked at the emperor blankly, with fear in her tone, mixed with a little joy of surviving a disaster, "Your Majesty, I was really scared to death just now. I am so afraid that something bad will happen to you. I am ready to die."

The emperor listened to Nian Shilan's worry and concern for him, and his heart was slightly moved. "Shilan, it's okay. I'm here for you. Don't worry."

Nian Shilan nodded, but suddenly her legs went limp and she fell straight to the ground. The emperor quickly supported Nian Shilan, bent down slightly, picked her up and put her on the dragon bed.

After doing all this, the emperor looked at the queen mother and Longkodo with increasingly fierce eyes. The queen mother was shaking all over at this time, and her voice was trembling with fear. "Emperor, all this is caused by the devil. Please forgive me."

When the emperor heard the queen mother's words, he sneered and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Oh? Bewitched? Then I would like to ask, was the queen mother also bewitched by a ghost when she released a carrier pigeon from the palace to contact Longkodo yesterday?"

When the empress dowager heard the emperor's words, she was stunned for a moment. She couldn't understand how the emperor knew about this. The emperor looked at her in disbelief and threw the note from the dragon table to the ground. The empress dowager picked it up and recognized his own handwriting. She looked at Longkodo with murderous eyes.

Longkodo was startled by the empress dowager's eyes. He quickly took the note from the empress dowager's hand, opened it, and was also stunned for a long time.

The emperor looked at the reactions of the empress dowager and Longkodo, and said with some contempt: "Longkodo did receive the note sent by pigeon yesterday, but it was written by Su Peisheng in the handwriting of the empress dowager."

When the Queen Mother heard what the Emperor said, she said hesitantly, "So you already knew all this."

"If I didn't know, I would have become your prisoner by now." The emperor snorted coldly.

The Queen Mother collapsed to the ground, her face full of despair.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Longkodo, who was standing by, suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, all this was forced upon me by the Queen Mother. It was not my original intention! Please have mercy, Your Majesty!"

When the Queen Mother heard what Longkodo said, she looked at him in disbelief. This was the second time in the Queen Mother's memory that Longkodo had plotted against her.

The first time was when the Queen Mother was still a concubine. At that time, Uya Chengbi was still an innocent and bright girl, and she still had dreams of love in her heart. At that time, she wanted to marry Longkodo. When Uya Chengbi had to enter the palace for the selection, she went to Longkodo, wanting Longkodo to help her lose the selection. After finding out the good news, Longkodo went back and told Uya Chengbi that he had opened up the joints and asked Uya Chengbi to wear a powder blue dress in the selection. He said that the late emperor did not like powder blue, and Uya Chengbi would definitely not be selected, and then she could naturally marry Longkodo. But after Uya Chengbi entered the palace and was selected, she found out that the late emperor's favorite color was powder blue.

The second time was today. It was obvious that the intention to rebellion was planned by Longkodo and herself. It was also Longkodo who said that after the Fourteenth Prince ascended the throne, she could stay with him until old age without restraint. The empress dowager thought that the Fourteenth Prince was her own son and had always been close to her, so she also had the idea of ​​rebellion. Who knew that after the matter was exposed, Longkodo turned around and said that she had forced him to do it. The empress dowager could not help but feel a surge of anger in her heart.

After hearing what Longkodo said, the emperor looked at Longkodo with disgust and eyes as sharp as knives, too lazy to say another word to him.

The emperor turned his gaze to the queen mother and asked sarcastically, "Is what Longkodo said true?"

Before the Queen Mother could speak, Longkodo spoke again: "Queen Mother, please admit it. No matter what, you are the mother of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty. The Emperor cannot execute you, but it is different for me. Queen Mother, please consider the past relationship between me and you and have mercy on me and clear my name."

When the Queen Mother heard Longkodo's words, she suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at the Emperor and said, "Emperor, you can't execute me. Otherwise, how can you stop the people from complaining?"

The emperor looked at the queen mother with a smile and said, "Of course I know you are the queen mother, and I will not execute you. But was it really you, the queen mother, who coerced Longkodo into treason?"

The Queen Mother was frightened by the Emperor's knife-like eyes and did not dare to speak for a while. Then she thought of Longkodo's ruthlessness just now and said cruelly, "Of course not, I was coerced by Longkodo!"

When Longkodo heard the Queen Mother pointing at him, he was shocked for a moment, staring at the Queen Mother with wide eyes, "You...Uya Chengbi, how could you..."

The emperor shouted, "How dare you! Do you think you can call the empress dowager by her name?"

After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at the queen mother again and said, "Now you are blaming each other, which makes me very embarrassed. How about this? The dead will never speak. Queen Mother, you know what to do."
