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

Shen Meimei nodded and said:

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother did leave an imperial decree for me to keep. Your Majesty, please act in accordance with the imperial decree!"

The emperor opened the imperial edict and read it carefully. There was only one simple sentence written on it: "After my death, if the empress commits a serious crime of disrespect, the emperor must remember that Ulanara cannot be deposed."

"It is indeed written by the Empress Mother. Empress Mother, do you know what crime the Empress has committed?" The emperor put down the edict and shouted to the sky.

Shen Meimei was so frightened that she dared not move, but Sun Zhuxi was very calm. She said calmly:

“Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and he cannot ignore the Queen Mother’s will. The reason why I did not follow the Queen Mother to the underworld is because of this will.

When the Empress Dowager wrote the edict, Concubine Hui was by her side, so the edict must be true. Please follow the edict and release the Empress."

The emperor looked at the imperial edict and pondered for a long time. He sighed and said:

"The crimes committed by Ulanara are too great. I cannot forgive her! If I do not depose the queen, it will not be enough to quell the anger in my heart. I hope that if the Empress knows about this, please do not blame me."

Shen Meimei recalled the words the empress dowager said to her before she died, holding her hand.

She looked at the queen who was slumped on the ground. Although she hated the queen in her heart, she had sworn to heaven that she had to protect the queen.

Shen Meimei mustered up her courage and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I promised the Queen Mother. Before she died, the Queen Mother said that if Your Majesty insisted on deposing the Queen, I would like to ask Your Majesty if you still remember what Queen Chunyuan said on your knees before she died."

The emperor was shocked when he heard this. He remembered that Queen Chunyuan had fallen on his knees and said that she was unlucky and could not continue to accompany the emperor. She hoped that the emperor would treat his future sister well and not abandon her no matter what mistakes she made.

The emperor turned around and looked at the queen lying on the ground, and said with great sorrow:

"It turns out that Chunyuan knew that you would end up like this. She also knew that you were the one who harmed her, but Chunyuan was too kind and she finally forgave you! Well, for Chunyuan's sake, I will not destroy you, but from now on, you and I will have no contact until we die.

"Pass on my decree that Ulanara be placed in Jingren Palace and cannot leave unless she dies. Su Peisheng, go to Jingren Palace to retrieve my imperial decree, seal, and imperial book to establish the empress, and inform the six palaces."

Shen Meimei was still frightened. Her action undoubtedly put her on the opposite side of Zhen Huan. The Queen Mother could have stopped her from coming, and the same effect would have been achieved if Sun Zhuxi had announced the decree.

But why did the Queen Mother do this?

Before Shen Meimei could figure it out, Zhen Huan had already arrived at Sui Yuxuan.

As soon as she entered the door, she asked:

"Sister, why did you do this? You and I planned for a long time to put the queen to death, but you went to announce the decree and saved the queen! What on earth is going on?"

Zhen Huan pressed on step by step, denouncing Shen Meimei with every word, "Are you still the Shen Meizhuang I know? Sister, what is your intention in doing this? Are you worried that I will be the only one in charge and take charge of the entire harem?"

Shen Meimei shook her head and explained:

"No, it's not what you think! Before the Queen Mother died, she asked me to swear to the heavens. She also asked me to swear with Jinghe's life. Huan'er, you misunderstood me. I have never had any grudge against you!"

"Discord? It seems that there has been discord between us since Meng Jingxian was poisoned!" Zhen Huan said and turned to leave.

When Shen Meimei chased out and wanted to explain further, Zhen Huan had already gone far away, leaving behind only a resolute back.
