Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan
Chapter 232: The Empress Dowager Longkodo's Affair Exposed
The emperor's heart skipped a beat; he already had a premonition!
But secretly he didn't want things to turn out the way he wanted.
He tightened his hands as he twisted the jade Buddhist beads, seeming to be trying his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
After a moment's silence, he looked at Zhang Tingyu with deep eyes and said:
"Just say what you want to say, don't hesitate!"
"It's the Emperor."
Zhang Tingyu knelt on the ground with his hands clasped:
"Outside the palace, people are talking about the Queen Mother and Longkodo..."
Although he was mentally prepared, the emperor still slammed his hand heavily on the table because of anger.
"Your Majesty, rest your anger."
Zhang Tingyu had always been loyal to the court, so he had to speak out:
"The most urgent matter is to ask His Majesty to order the rumors to be quelled as soon as possible, otherwise it will damage the reputation of the Queen Mother and the Emperor..."
The emperor lowered his head and said nothing. After a long while, he slowly raised his head and looked at Zhang Tingyu:
"Zhang Tingyu, pass on my order. Anyone who dares to spread rumors will be killed without mercy. We must control the rumors in the shortest possible time."
"Also, find out who was the first person to spread the rumor. Once you find out, you don't need to inform me, I will immediately execute him."
"It's the Emperor."
"You go down first!"
After Zhang Tingyu left, the emperor was so angry that he smashed everything on the table to the ground.
Su Peisheng heard the sound and hurried in.
"emperor……"
He stood aside, looked at the emperor cautiously, and prepared to persuade him.
The emperor said to Su Peisheng without even raising his head:
"Su Peisheng, please go to Shoukang Palace."
Before the emperor even left the house, Longkodo hurried over.
"Your Majesty, please do not believe the rumors outside. Your servant and the Empress Dowager..."
"Uncle Longkodo..."
As soon as Longkodo mentioned the Queen Mother, murderous intent appeared in the Emperor's eyes.
When he called Longkodo "Uncle", there was a reminder in his tone.
He knew very well what Longkodo had done in the past, so when faced with the emperor's reminder, he did not dare to say more, and could only express his loyalty to the emperor indirectly.
Just as the two were talking, the Queen Mother also rushed over.
In order to avoid suspicion, the Queen Mother only glanced at Longkodo quickly, then looked at the Emperor:
"Your Majesty... those are just rumors. Over the years, I have never done anything to damage your reputation."
"As for the rumors outside, they must be intentional frame-ups by someone with ulterior motives."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Longkodo also quickly followed up the Queen Mother's words:
"Over the years, the relationship between me and the Empress Dowager has always been clean."
"Those rumors are all things of the past, and they all happened before the Queen Mother entered the palace. They cannot be counted."
Seeing Longkodo and the empress dowager singing the same tune, the emperor was furious.
He first glanced at the Queen Mother, then at Longkodo:
"My dear mother, Uncle Longkodo, I believe you are innocent."
"No need to say more about this matter, you two can go back first."
The Queen Mother wanted to say something, but when she saw that the Emperor had turned his back, she knew that he was angry. She opened her mouth several times but finally swallowed her words.
She and Longkodo exchanged glances quickly while the emperor was not paying attention, and then looked at the emperor:
"Emperor, I will return to the palace first."
Longkodo followed the Queen Mother and said, "I will take my leave."
When he arrived at the door, Longkodo was about to explain a few words to the empress dowager, but was stopped by the empress dowager with a look.
She lowered her voice and said to Longkodo:
"Li Si'er, this matter must be related to Li Si'er."
"If it is really her, I will give an explanation to the Queen Mother and the Emperor."
After saying this, Longkodo bowed and turned away.
The palace seemed peaceful on the surface, but that was just an illusion.
The Emperor has issued a clear order that no one is allowed to discuss the matter, so they had no choice but to hide in their own palaces and whisper to each other.
After receiving the news, Zhen Huan felt a little uneasy.
She knew that the emperor must be very angry.
But as for whether the emperor would really make up his mind to deal with the empress dowager, she really had no idea.
Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong, and Yu Ying'er were surprised and happy when they got the news.
But in order to avoid suspicion, several people did not dare to gather together to talk, for fear that the emperor would misunderstand and say that they were discussing the private affairs of the empress dowager and Longkodo.
After Concubine Hua found out, she felt that the crab meat bun in her hand was even more appetizing!
She stayed in Yiku Palace and enjoyed the delicious food with the intention of watching a good show.
After hearing this, the Queen couldn't help but blame the Queen Mother in her heart, wondering why the Queen Mother was so restless at such an old age.
She thought to herself, if the emperor really got angry, she would lose her future support, so what right would she have to fight against Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua?
No!
I must plan a way out for myself!
The queen thought so in her heart, but out of courtesy, she still had to go to Shoukang Palace.
Tong Jia Yuting had just been released from confinement by the emperor. She hadn't been showing off for two days when she heard that such a big thing had happened to Longkodo. She suddenly became restless.
She ignored Nanny Zhang's advice and ran to the Yangxin Palace to plead with Longkodo.
Your Majesty, my father was wronged!"
"I have heard from my mother since I was a child that my father and the queen mother were childhood sweethearts, but those are things of the past and cannot be counted!"
Su Peisheng was listening to Tong Jia Yuting's words and looking at the emperor's increasingly gloomy face, he was sweating for her in his heart.
She undoubtedly added fuel to the emperor's anger!
But Tong Jia Yuting was a person without tact. She continued with what she had just said:
"My father and mother have always had a good relationship, there is no way they have anything to do with the Queen Mother!"
"Your Majesty, please do not believe the rumors outside and misunderstand my father!"
The reason why the emperor listened to her say so much was that he wanted to know from her how much Li Si'er had said about the empress dowager.
This also made the emperor more determined to get rid of Li Si'er.
Tong Mansion.
Li Sier knelt on the ground, looked at Longkodo, and said with tears in his eyes:
"Master, this matter was not spread by me!"
"Even if I had a hundred courages, I wouldn't dare to do this!"
Longkodo slammed the table fiercely, and when he looked at Li Si'er, his eyes no longer had the tenderness they once had:
"So, what about those letters? Hand them all over!"
