Chapter 365 Brother's Death and Brother's Death 4
"Who said it wasn't?" Wen Qing gloated, "The Queen Mother is shooting herself in the foot. I think it won't be easy for her to get away this time. It's probably impossible for her to gain the Emperor's trust again."
"Don't worry! The Queen Mother will not sit still and wait for death. She will definitely find a scapegoat to help her divert the Emperor's suspicion," Jiang Chunxi sneered, "But with me here, no matter how powerful the Queen Mother is, she can't escape the dirty water I'm pouring on her. She can't escape even if she has wings!"
"Your Majesty is smart." Wen Qing complimented with a smile:
A few days later, the Emperor looked at the clues found by the leader of the secret guards and couldn't help wondering if he had really wronged the Queen Mother.
"Send people to monitor the concubines. If any of them dare to attack the heir again, they must be caught red-handed." Without evidence, the emperor naturally couldn't do anything to the concubines. "Also, send people to keep an eye on the Queen Mother and the Empress."
If it was really the Queen Mother who had done something to the Crown Prince, then she would have been on guard now for sure. Staring at the Queen Mother and the Queen probably wouldn't reveal anything. After all, the Queen Mother wouldn't be so stupid as to reveal her flaws and wait to be caught red-handed.
But even so, the Empress Dowager and the Queen must be kept a close eye on. The Emperor doesn't believe that the Empress Dowager can continue to attack the royal heir without any flaws under his nose.
Yes, even though a few concubines diverted the emperor's suspicion, the emperor's suspicion of the empress dowager has not been completely dispelled.
However, no matter how strict the emperor's precautions were, accidents still happened to several pregnant concubines. They all had accidents on the same day and lost their babies in their bellies.
Of course Jiang Chunxi also fell, but she was lucky and the baby in her belly was saved.
The Queen Mother felt like she was going crazy.
Because she knew very well that even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she could not clear herself of the guilt this time, but she had no idea who had done it.
She has already assigned more people to keep an eye on the Queen, so she can be very sure that it was definitely not the stupid Queen who did it. But apart from the Queen, who else could have the ability to attack the royal heir?
It can't be those concubines in the palace!
In short, the Queen Mother once again deeply felt that there was a big hand behind the scenes controlling everything, pushing her, the Queen Mother, into a desperate situation step by step.
The emperor was now completely enraged, and he launched a massive purge of the entire harem, causing panic among the entire palace. Waves of servants were sent to the Ministry of Punishment.
The empress dowager was also placed under house arrest by the emperor, and naturally the power in her hands was taken away by the emperor.
As for the queen...
The Emperor is already considering deposing the Queen. He must not allow the Queen to continue to stay on the throne. Otherwise, for the sake of the Luo family's glory, who knows what kind of crazy thing the Queen Mother will do again.
That's right, the royal heir is in trouble again. The emperor has become convinced of the empress dowager's suspicion and determined that it was the empress dowager who had done something to the royal heir. After all, only the empress dowager has such great power.
As for those concubines dowagers, they were all under the surveillance of the emperor, and most importantly, they did not have the ability to take action against the royal heir under the emperor's nose. The only one who had this ability was the empress dowager.
You have to know that during the time of the late emperor, the empress dowager had already been in charge of the palace power for more than ten years. It can be said that she had already firmly controlled the entire harem, so she had the ability to take action against the royal heir under the emperor's nose.
As for why the Queen Mother dared to be so unscrupulous, it was because she relied on the fact that she was his biological mother. She knew that even if the Emperor knew that the Queen Mother was harming the royal heir, he would not be able to do anything to her as his biological mother.
"Get out of the way. I want to see the Emperor."
The emperor frowned, listened to his brother's voice outside, and threw away the memorial in his hand in annoyance.
"Brother, how could you treat our mother like this?" Prince Gong walked in angrily. "You have imprisoned our mother in Ningshou Palace. Aren't you afraid that people will accuse you of being unfilial?"
Prince Gong has been extremely anxious these days, and at the same time he feels a little resentful towards his mother.
The Queen Mother is so careless in what she does!
Even if you want to harm the heir to the throne, you have to take your time! How can you be so impatient and act immediately?
Is it okay now?
The emperor purged the harem, stripped her of her power in the palace, and even placed her under house arrest in Ningshou Palace.
"Get out of here," the emperor was in a bad mood, and naturally he disliked his brother, Prince Gong, "Do you think it's your turn as a minister to comment on what I do? Do you think that just because you are my brother, I dare not do anything to you?"
"Brother," Prince Gong immediately knelt down, "I have no intention of defying your majesty, but I am really worried about our mother. She is already old, and you have put her under house arrest. Aren't you worried that she might get angry and do something bad?"
"Besides, I don't believe that the Queen Mother would do anything to the heir to the throne. You are the Queen Mother's own son. How could the Queen Mother do anything to the heir to the throne of the Emperor's brother? There must be something fishy going on. Maybe someone framed the Queen Mother in order to alienate the Emperor's brother from the Queen Mother."
"I don't believe that my mother would be so cruel as to attack my offspring, but who else but my mother could attack the royal heir under my nose?" The emperor said:
"You've come just in time," the emperor suddenly changed the subject, "I approve the dethronement of the queen. You will deliver the dethronement decree to the queen's palace!"
"Royal brother," Prince Gong said in shock, "You actually want to depose the queen. Do you want my cousin to die?"
"First it was the mother, then the empress," Prince Gong's eyes turned red with anger, "Royal brother, how could you become so cruel? You and my cousin grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and after you got married, you were in perfect harmony and in love."
"But now you want to depose the queen. If you depose my cousin, how is that any different from forcing her to death?"
"Brother, please take back your decision!" Prince Gong kowtowed heavily to the ground. "My cousin is not only your wife, she is also your cousin! She is a blood relative of yours. How can you be so cruel as to force my cousin to die?"
Must the Emperor have suspected something? Otherwise, why would he want to depose the Queen?
Prince Gong was in a state of confusion at this time, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
What should I do?
Now he couldn't see his mother anymore, and he didn't even have anyone to discuss things with. Could it be that he could only watch that idiot Luo Zi being deposed from the position of queen?
"I will not let Luo Zi die," the emperor said, "Although I abolished Luo Zi's position as queen, I did not want her to die, so what you are worried about will not happen."
"Tenth brother, you have to understand that I am the emperor. There are some things that I cannot just turn a blind eye to and pretend never happened."
