"???"

"!!!"

"what?!"

"How can we remove the Phoenix Seal? How can we remove the seal of our mother? Wouldn't that make the others in the harem laugh at us?"

The prince was horrified and knelt down immediately.

"Why not...why not punish me?"

Taking down the Phoenix Seal would be the greatest humiliation to the Queen. After this, perhaps all the civil and military officials in the court would laugh at the Queen.

Although he was on Jiang Zhao's side, he couldn't punish the queen so severely.

Isn't this equivalent to temporarily banishing the queen to the cold palace and releasing her after three months?

Even if she is released, the queen's power will definitely be much less than before.

The others were obviously surprised as well.

Upon seeing this, Ling Dao cried and kowtowed to the emperor, almost breaking his head.

Her head was bleeding and she cried, "...Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how could you do this?!"

"Your Highness, she is your wife through thick and thin. How can you take away her Phoenix Seal?!"

"You know, it was the Queen who had always been with you, supporting you... The Queen's mother's family helped you a lot in the past, and they are still stationed in Yongzhou..."

"The Queen doesn't have a little prince yet..."

"The Queen has suffered a lot, and she is also ill. How can she be detained for three months?!"

"This is truly a ridiculous thing. If it gets out, the Queen will lose her dignity."

"Your Majesty...! Your Majesty!"

It would have been fine if he hadn't asked for the magic sword, but if he did, the emperor would have become even angrier.

He frowned, looked at the queen, and said coldly: "Queen, you must plead guilty."

"..."

The queen stared at the emperor blankly, tears gradually flowing out of her eyes, and she didn't want to say a word.

She just felt a little tired. It was clearly not her who did all this. It was clearly just Ling Dao who said it. Why did it turn out like this? !

She was silent and said exhaustedly, "I will just follow your Majesty's orders. Whatever your Majesty says is what I will do."

"..."

The emperor was also very upset. He felt as if from today on, the Ninth Brother would no longer be their son.

The ninth brother no longer wants his father, the emperor, and his mother, the queen.

But this is normal. Before, Lao Jiu was not very favored by them.

Neither the emperor nor the empress liked him, and there was no place for him in the harem. It had been like this since he was a child.

He has always been like this. He has never been well-received and has always suffered injustice since he was a child.

It’s just that he seemed... seemed to have suffered too much injustice and didn’t want to suffer any more.

The emperor felt a little uncomfortable.

Lao Jiu has suffered so much injustice. If I don’t speak up, I’m afraid Lao Jiu will really leave them and become alienated from them.

So this time, he tried his best to make it up to Lao Jiu.

But it seems too late.

The emperor's eyes were still somewhat cautious.

"Old Nine, are you...are you satisfied with this?"

Jiang Zhao was silent, then said, "I am not satisfied with this, Father."

"This...are you still not satisfied with this?"

Ling Dao immediately shouted to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look at our Queen! She has been wronged to such an extent, and he, a lowly child born of a palace maid, is still not satisfied..."

"Shut up!"

The queen immediately went up and slapped Lingdao in the face.

With red eyes, she said, "Can you use the word 'bastard' to insult the prince casually?!"

"You are actually committing treason!"

"I have loved you so much in vain!"

"Shut up!"

The prince immediately went up and kicked the spirit sword again, causing it to spit out blood.

The prince said angrily: "You have no right to speak here!"

"It's our master who is speaking now, how dare you, a slave, speak?!"

"Sixth rank official, you really think you are so important. In my eyes, you are not even as good as an ant. I want you to die, and I will!"

"I want your whole family to be tortured to death. I will torture your whole family to death! The entire clan will be executed!"

"??? And you're still a bastard?!"

The emperor was furious. He had never imagined that the queen would spoil this servant to such an extent.

Ling Dao actually dared to call Jiang Zhao a bastard? !

He went up and kicked Lingdao hard several times, and Lingdao started vomiting blood.

Then, the emperor went up and attacked with both hands, slapping the magic knife hard a few times.

He was about to go crazy. Looking at Ling Dao's face that was swollen like a pig's head, he laughed in anger: "How dare you say that about a prince... Queen, you really taught me that."

"Before, I was doubting whether it was you who taught Ling Dao to say that, but now! How dare a servant like Ling Dao to be so disrespectful and even dare to say that Lao Jiu is a bastard!" "Okay, okay, anyway, this is what you said to Ling Dao and the others in private!"

"How else could a slave like her be so bold?!!!"

The queen looked at Ling Dao's face which was swollen like a pig's head. If it were in the past, she would definitely feel distressed, but today her heart was cold.

What does Ling Dao mean by these words?

Wouldn't this alienate me from the Emperor and Old Nine?!

Even if she cared about herself and couldn't let go of her youngest son who died many years ago, she couldn't say that... This really made her doubt herself.

The queen's heart was pounding.

For a moment, she was stunned by the situation here and didn't know what to say.

Then, the prince knelt down and said, "Father, it is useless to say anything else now. The most important thing now is to drag this slave away and punish her severely."

"Let everyone in the palace know that Lao Jiu is the prince, your son! He is a child that you and your mother both love."

"It's not like what the people in the Imperial Hospital spread."

"If they continue to pass it on and don't punish Ling Dao, I'm afraid the people in the palace will not be kind to Lao Jiu and his wife and will not listen to their orders."

"Yes, the most important thing now is to punish this slave first!"

"I forgot about this for a moment."

The emperor frowned. He was so angry that he almost went crazy. How could he remember this? !

He took a deep breath and said, "Today, I don't care about anything else. This slave girl must die!"

"Empress, although Ling Dao has been with you for many years, she has done such a wrong thing today! She should not live if she speaks to the people of the Imperial Hospital like this."
