Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan
Chapter 243 The Emperor and the Queen Mother Showdown
The emperor's words brought Prince Guo's thoughts back to many years ago.
Prince Dun also participated in the fight for the throne at that time, but was later saved because of Concubine Wenxi.
In order to appease him, the emperor specially appointed him as a prince.
But he has been dissatisfied with the emperor over the years, and now he has ended up like this.
After witnessing this incident personally, Prince Guo felt even more that he was no match for the Emperor.
He thought that if he really had to do it openly, Prince Dun would be a lesson for him.
So he had to hide many things behind his back.
And Hongmei is the key to his success.
"This is the most shameful thing between brothers, but you have to witness it with your own eyes. It is really difficult for you."
"I hope that Yun? will be the last person to have the intention of treason, and from now on all the kings will behave themselves.
While the emperor was speaking, he was looking at Prince Guo.
Prince Guo also heard the warning in the emperor's words.
He lowered his head and pretended to be heartbroken, saying that he was the one who understood romance the most, and he only asked the emperor to preserve his wealth and honor in this life, and he asked for nothing else.
The emperor smiled with relief.
The next morning, the emperor asked Xiao Xia Zi to go to Penglai Island to pick up Zhen Huan and bring her back to the palace.
He asked Su Peisheng to take three things and go to Shoukang Palace with him.
The wife of Prince Dun, Princess Gongding and the Beizi were all thrown into prison.
When the person sent by the Queen Mother to deliver the letter did not come back, she anticipated that something unexpected had happened.
But now she was also thinking in the hope that the letter had not been intercepted by the emperor...
When the emperor arrived at Shoukang Palace, he first sent all the palace servants away.
Then he ordered people to arrest Zhuxi by force.
The Queen Mother saw that the Emperor had no intention of respecting her, so she pretended to be innocent and said to the Emperor:
"Emperor, what are you doing?"
The Emperor looked at the Queen Mother with a gloomy face:
"Don't you know what I'm going to do?"
The Queen Mother's eyes evaded:
"I don't understand what you are saying."
"After all, we are mother and son. Empress Dowager, you have already done it. Why is there any difficulty in admitting it?"
"Aijia..." Just as the Queen Mother was trying to argue, the Emperor took out the intercepted letter from his sleeve and held it in front of the Queen Mother:
"If the Empress Dowager doesn't know what she has done, here is a letter that may help her wake up!"
"Alas...Alas..."
The Queen Mother's brain was working rapidly and her tone became hesitant.
When the emperor looked at the empress dowager's appearance, his anger reached its peak.
He was trying his best to control his emotions so that he could appear calm and composed as always.
"You and I are mother and son, I don't want to make things too embarrassing."
As he spoke, the emperor took a look at what Su Peisheng was holding:
"Choose one of these three."
"I will consider the only relationship between us as mother and son and allow you to die with dignity!"
After saying this, the Emperor glanced at the Queen Mother again and added expressionlessly:
"This is the only thing I can do for you."
The Queen Mother looked at the white silk, dagger and poison on the tray and laughed.
She looked at the emperor and accused him:
"Emperor, you are truly my good son!"
"For the sake of your throne, you have even disregarded the relationship between you and me as mother and son!"
"This is the first time I've seen someone as cruel as you!"
The Empress Dowager's words made the Emperor feel heartbroken.
It has always been like this since he was a child. No matter what he does, he can never satisfy the Queen Mother.
The emperor frowned and looked at the queen mother deeply:
"You colluded with Prince Dun to plot a rebellion. I saved face for you, but you blamed me instead!"
"In your heart, have you ever had a son like me?"
"Emperor, don't you know why I do this?"
"You dare to ask yourself, have you ever wanted to get rid of me?"
The Queen Mother snorted and sneered at the Emperor:
"You used the rumors to get me to deal with Longkodo for you, but after Longkodo, it will be my turn, right?"
"I did this only to protect myself. What have I done wrong?"
"You are right!" The emperor looked at the queen mother with gloomy eyes:
"Old Fourteen was originally guarding the imperial mausoleum well, but because of the Empress Dowager's fault, I do not intend to keep Old Fourteen any longer."
When the Queen Mother heard that the Emperor was going to punish the Fourteenth Prince, her eyes immediately turned red: "How dare you!"
"Why shouldn't I?" The Emperor put his hands behind his back and looked at the Queen Mother:
"If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe me, you can just stay with me and wait for news."
"I sent people to imprison Old Fourteen last night."
"Early this morning, I sent someone to deliver the same three things as the Empress Dowager."
"Since the Empress Dowager and the Fourteenth Prince are connected by heart, why don't you let the Empress Dowager guess which one the Fourteenth Prince will choose to end his life?"
"Yinzhen, aren't you afraid that you will be struck by lightning if you do this?"
"Yunyu is your brother!"
The Queen Mother was so excited that even her voice began to tremble.
"Brother? I also want to treat him as my brother, but isn't all this caused by the Empress?"
As the emperor spoke, he held the jade beads tightly in his hand to calm his emotions:
"When the Emperor was alive, you wanted the Fourteenth Prince to be the emperor. If it weren't for the fact that the Fourteenth Prince was really hopeless, Longkodo wouldn't have supported me to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"
"You, Empress Dowager, have slandered me in every possible way, accusing me of being a patricide and fratricide murderer."
"If the situation had not been decided, and you wanted to protect the Fourteenth Prince, I'm sure you, Empress Dowager, would not have maintained a mother-son relationship with me for so many years against your will."
"No matter what I think, I have also worked hard for your kingdom."
"Even if I made a mistake today, you, the Emperor, shouldn't be so disregarding of the relationship between mother and son and want to put me and your fourteenth brother to death."
Seeing that the forceful approach didn't work, the empress dowager tactfully brought up everything she had done for the emperor.
The emperor's expression hesitated for a moment, and when he was about to say something, a spy came to report.
The emperor ordered him to come to the inner hall.
"Your Majesty, the Fourteenth Master..."
The Queen Mother immediately walked quickly to the spy and asked:
"What happened to Old Fourteen?"
The spy said with an embarrassed look:
"The Fourteenth Master took poison and died. I have come here to seek the Emperor's will on how to deal with the Fourteenth Master's affairs after his death."
As soon as the Queen Mother heard the first half of the sentence, she staggered back two steps and slumped down in the chair behind her with lifeless eyes.
When the Emperor saw the Queen Mother's expression, he waved his hand at the spy:
"You go down first. I have my own plans for this matter."
After the spy left, the Queen Mother was silent for a while, then looked at the Emperor with an unusually cold voice and said:
"Old Fourteen is dead. Are you finally satisfied now?"
