Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

The queen slowly stood up. She saw Su Peisheng from the light and said with a smile on her face:

"Thank you, Eunuch Su! I will prepare it right away!"

Su Peisheng was very respectful to the queen. He bowed and greeted her:

"Your Majesty, please come this way. The sedan chair is ready. It's snowing heavily outside. Be careful on the slippery roads!"

In the Yangxin Palace, the emperor sat upright on a chair. He was waiting for the empress. Without the empress dowager's protection, he would definitely depose the empress today.

Soon, the queen slowly walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation. She stood there with her eyes fixed on the emperor.

However, after just five months of not seeing each other, the person in front of me seemed to have aged ten years.

The queen who was once so graceful and elegant now looks haggard, with a few strands of white hair growing on her temples.

Her originally round and fair face became extremely thin, and with her bloodless pale complexion, she looked like a walking skeleton, which was unbearable to look at.

The emperor said:

"The Empress Dowager has passed away. Today I am going to depose you! You have harmed Chun Yuan, murdered concubines and princes, formed a clique for personal gain, attempted to influence the succession, and plotted to murder Concubine Xi many times.

I gave you a chance, but you still didn't repent. You even ordered Jianqiu to poison Concubine Xi and the Sixth Prince during the family dinner. Do you admit all these things?"

The queen was so smart that she would never admit her guilt at any time.

She laughed and cried:

"Since Your Majesty has already thought so, why do you need to ask me again? This pair of jade bracelets was put on me by Your Majesty personally when I entered the palace. I wished that I could see you day and night like this, but now Your Majesty probably doesn't want to see me anymore."

The emperor lamented that the queen was too obsessed. He looked at the queen kneeling on the ground with cold eyes and said indifferently:

"I regret it very much. If I hadn't waited for you to confess your crime in person, do you think I would be willing to see your face again? You disgust me. You have done so many evil things. Aren't you afraid that in your dreams at midnight, there will be wronged ghosts looking for you to take your life?"

The Queen also gave it her all. She laughed loudly and said:

"Come on? What do I have to be afraid of? Even if there is a rebirth, I am not afraid! Your Majesty, for all these years, you have not seen my love for you and my kindness to you! In order to protect your kingdom, how many shameful things have I done for you? Do you want me to tell you one by one?"

The emperor was obviously angered by the queen's words. He slammed the table and shouted angrily:

"Empress Ulanara, you are not blessed by heaven, you are flashy but not practical, you have harmed the royal heirs, you have colluded with your friends in the court, how can you be a respectful mother of the ancestral temple and a model for the country? You are to be demoted to a commoner and placed in the cold palace. Bring me my seal."

Su Peisheng stood aside and said, "Yes!"

He took out the red seal and was about to stamp it when Sun Zhuxi pulled Shen Meimei, brought the imperial decree, and came in after opening the curtain.

"Your Majesty, I have come here in the snow to see Your Majesty."

Shen Meimei also bowed and saluted, "May the Emperor be blessed with good health, and may the Empress be blessed with good health!"

The emperor was stunned. He didn't expect that Sun Zhuxi and Mei Zhuang would come at this time.

He asked doubtfully:

"Aunt Sun, why are you here? Concubine Hui, why are you following me? What's going on?"

Shen Meimei remembered the Queen Mother's last words before her death. She could only bite the bullet and take out the imperial edict:

"Reporting to the emperor, the queen mother gave me an imperial decree before she died, and told me to be sure to hand it over to the emperor!"

The emperor's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "What?!"

He suspected that he had heard it wrong. Why would the empress dowager leave an imperial decree?
