Chapter 323: Disgusting Queen Mother, Recall 4



Chapter 323: Disgusting Queen Mother, Recall 4

"However, I have destroyed the portrait that was circulated immediately. Now there is only this one in my hand."

Xia Qi looked at the emperor cautiously and began to explain.

After hearing this news, the emperor's anger dissipated a little.

At least this matter did not become known to everyone like before, otherwise the royal family would have lost all face.

"You are sensible. Since your merits and demerits are offset, I will not mind your incompetence."

"If any related rumors are spread in the future, I will be the first to take action against you."

After saying this, the emperor stared straight at Xia Qi and spoke word by word.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will never let this matter get out."

After he returned, he dealt with those who knew about this matter, because only the dead can keep secrets.

He didn't dare to gamble his life on whether these people kept their mouths shut.

After sending Xia Qie away, the emperor sat on the throne with a gloomy face and murderous intent in his eyes.

Longkodo deserves to die.

Maybe he had to try a different approach and kill Longkodo sooner.

Thinking of this, he stood up and walked towards the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother was already so angry after hearing about Longkodo that she fell ill. She lay in bed and Shen Meizhuang fed her medicine mouthful by mouthful.

Seeing the emperor coming, she forced a smile.

"Why is the emperor here?"

"Greetings to the Emperor."

Shen Meizhuang felt that the Emperor's expression looked a little strange and looked at the Empress Dowager with some concern.

"Get up, Queen Mother, I'm here with you, you can go down first."

The Emperor did not answer the Empress Dowager's words, but picked up the medicine bowl that Shen Meizhuang had just put down and gave instructions in a calm tone.

"Yes, I will go down right away."

Shen Meizhuang didn't dare to stay any longer after hearing that. Even though she was a little worried, she still chose to retreat.

Zhuxi also noticed that something was wrong with the emperor. Just as he was about to speak to ease the tension between mother and son, he was sent away by the emperor.

When the Queen Mother saw the Emperor in such a state, she felt somewhat uneasy. Could it be that the Emperor knew the truth about Chun Yuan's death?

But if that was the case, why didn't the emperor go find Yixiu but came to me first?

"The Empress Dowager is ill. When my uncle found out about this, he was extremely worried and wrote to me many times, hoping to see the Empress Dowager."

The emperor calmly sat down beside the bed with the medicine bowl in his hand and fed the empress dowager a sip of medicine.

"Madam, do you want to see him?"

It was hard to tell whether the emperor's voice was good or bad, but the empress dowager was no fool and could naturally sense that something was wrong with his words.

"My illness is getting better and worse, so there's no need to trouble him so much."

The Queen Mother didn't understand what the Emperor wanted to do, but her intuition told her to refuse.

"is it?"

"I thought the Empress Dowager fell ill because she heard something she shouldn't have heard and got so angry that she became ill. I thought that heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine, so I planned to send the heart medicine to the Empress Dowager."

The emperor had completely calmed down by now, but the murderous intent in his eyes was even stronger than before.

"Emperor, what do you mean by this?"

The Queen Mother sat up slightly, stared straight at the Emperor and asked.

"Wasn't it because of what happened to Longkodo that the Empress Dowager became so angry that she became ill?"

The emperor once again put the spoon to the empress dowager's mouth, but this time she showed no intention of opening her mouth.

The emperor was not angry, and even showed a very understanding smile.

"Did I say something wrong?"

The emperor looked at the empress dowager with a smile and asked back.

"I am sick because I am old, so naturally this problem comes out. Besides, I get sick every year at this time. What does it have to do with your uncle Longkodo?"

Of course, it was impossible for the Queen Mother to admit that she became ill because of such a thing, so she explained in a natural tone.

It seemed as if everything was just a misunderstanding of the emperor.

The emperor also guessed that the empress dowager would not admit it so obediently, so he was not in a hurry and continued speaking in a calm tone.

"Oh, then it seems that I guessed wrong."

"Today, I got some news about my uncle. I originally thought that the Empress Dowager fell ill because of my uncle. I thought that if the Empress Dowager knew this news, she would probably become more seriously ill. So I originally did not intend to tell her about this."

"However, since the Empress Dowager has said so, I will tell you this news. It is quite interesting."

The emperor almost uttered the last few words through gritted teeth.

Then the emperor took a deep breath, smiled, and handed the portrait sent by Xia Qi to the empress dowager.

"Madam Empress, please open it and see?"

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor with suspicion, but couldn't help opening the folded portrait out of curiosity and worry.

After seeing the person in the painting clearly, the empress dowager's eyes suddenly changed and her face turned as pale as paper.

She thought that the emperor had discovered the past affairs between her and Longkodo, and even thought that the painting was a portrait of herself when she was young that was found from Longkodo.

The Queen Mother opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but was ruthlessly interrupted by the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, don't you think this is your portrait?"

The emperor's tone was full of sarcasm. When he saw the queen mother's expression, he reacted quickly and guessed that the queen mother had misunderstood what he meant.

"Emperor, what do you mean?"

The Queen Mother did not expect the Emperor to say this, which made her a little confused.

Isn’t it because the emperor discovered the old things between him and Longkodo?

But apart from that, there was nothing else between her and Longkodo.

"Madam, Longkodo had a concubine named Li Si'er, and Longkodo turned Hesheli into a human pig just to please Li Si'er."

When the emperor saw that the empress dowager was obviously a little anxious, he became less anxious.

"And this Li Si'er is the woman in the painting."

"What did you say?"

The Queen Mother could hardly believe her ears. She stared at the woman in the painting in disbelief. Only then did she realize that the person in the painting was not exactly like herself, but only about 70% similar.

But because I just glanced at it and didn't look at the painting carefully, I didn't see the difference.

The thing called a substitute is extremely disgusting to both the original owner and the substitute.

Especially since she was the queen mother of a country, how could she accept that her former lover found a substitute for her as a concubine? Wasn't this a complete humiliation for her?

She could forgive the other party for marrying someone else, but she could never accept that he did something that humiliated her like this.

Seeing this, the emperor was afraid that the empress dowager would be furious, so he quickly added two more sentences.

"Also, I have inquired about this Li Si'er. It can be said that apart from his similar appearance to you, Empress Dowager, his words and deeds are completely different."

"Most importantly, this Li Si'er was once the concubine of my good uncle and father-in-law."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Queen Mother was so angry that her whole body began to shake uncontrollably.

She could no longer suppress her inner anger, and her blood rushed up and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

After seeing the Empress Dowager vomiting blood, the Emperor's eyes became obviously panicked and he quickly reached out to support the Empress Dowager's limp body.

He was very angry and disgusted, and was so pissed off by the disgusting things Longkodo had done that he wanted to make the Queen Mother feel the same disgust as he did, so that she would willingly cooperate with him to get rid of Longkodo.

But he didn't really want to make the Queen Mother so angry that she became ill.

"Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician!"

The Emperor shouted towards the door.

Soon, the servants crawled on their knees to bring the imperial physician over.

After the imperial physician's examination, he looked at the emperor, shook his head and said.

"The Queen Mother was too angry, causing the blood to surge up, so she vomited blood."

"The Queen Mother is old now, and she can't stand being bullied."

"If this happens again..."

The imperial physician did not finish his words, but everyone present understood what he had left unsaid.

"I understand. You should take good care of the Queen Mother's health."

The emperor felt a little guilty when he heard this, thinking that his methods should not be so radical.

It was because Longkodo's behavior was so disgusting that he was so angry that he lost his mind.

The empress dowager regained consciousness and took the initiative to call the emperor.

She knew in her heart that Longkodo could no longer stay. If such a thing were to get out, the entire royal family would be disgraced, and neither the emperor nor the fourteenth prince would be able to escape. She had to make the next decision.

Once, even though Longkodo had tricked her into the palace, she still couldn't bear to see the emperor do something to Longkodo.

Although she knew that the emperor would definitely get rid of Longkodo, she still hoped that the emperor could save his life, even if it meant letting him become a commoner.

But after this incident, she was completely disgusted by Longkodo, and no longer objected to the emperor's intention to take action against Longkodo.

Even when the emperor asked her to do it herself, she chose to agree to it.

However, she hopes that the emperor can allow the fourteenth prince to return to the palace to see her.

The emperor was unwilling at first, but looking at the pale face of the empress dowager, he chose to agree to it.

However, he did not intend to let the fourteenth prince return to the palace openly. He could only enter the palace as the son of the Empress Dowager.

It was rare for the Empress Dowager to see the Emperor give in, so she naturally didn't care about what identity the Fourteenth Prince had when he entered the palace. She just wanted to see her youngest son again.

The emperor felt a little sad when he saw the empress dowager's eyes brighten up after he agreed to this matter.

The Empress Dowager had never been so looking forward to my arrival. When she heard that the Fourteenth Prince could return to the palace, she even became more spirited, even though she had been feeling depressed.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then stood up and left.

Before leaving, the Queen Mother looked at the thinly dressed Emperor and spoke with some concern.

"Old Four, even though the weather is getting hotter now, you still can't use ice too early, or you'll catch a cold and get sick."

When the emperor heard the Empress Dowager calling him the Fourth Brother, he felt a little dazed for a moment.

It seemed that since he ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager had never called him the Fourth Brother again.

But after he agreed to let Fourteenth Prince return to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager immediately changed her attitude.

"I understand, Madam Empress, please have a good rest."

After saying this, the emperor quickly left Shoukang Palace.

Watching the emperor's leaving, the empress dowager reflected on whether she had been too harsh on the fourth prince.

Maybe she should be nicer to the fourth child.

After returning to the Yangxin Palace, the emperor called Fucha Fude to his front and spoke.

"You did a good job in the last incident at Zhuozi Mountain. Although we have all the evidence, we cannot touch Nian Gengyao yet. So I hope you can protect the witnesses well. I will leave this matter to you. I hope Jing'an, you will not let me down."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I, the little steward in your mansion, am living a pretty good life now."

Fucha Fude said with a smile.

"That's good."

"I have one more thing for you to do. If you do it well, I will reward you greatly."

The emperor looked at Fucha Fude and smiled with satisfaction.

"I want you to go to the Imperial Mausoleum and bring Old Fourteen back, but the prerequisite is that you cannot let him come back as a prince. You know what to do, right?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured that I will take care of this matter."

Fu Cha Fude did not hesitate and agreed without hesitation.

The emperor's order is an order, there is no reason for him to refuse. He might as well just agree to it. This way, the emperor will have a better impression of him.

"but."

Fucha Fude looked at the emperor hesitantly and spoke.

"But what?"

The emperor was in a very good mood when he saw that Fu Cha Fu De agreed readily, and asked.

"If the Fourteenth Master refuses to return to the capital, can this humble official use some special means?"

Fucha Fude looked at the emperor cautiously and asked.

"Fourteen is my brother after all, you shouldn't go too far."

The implication is that he agreed.

"Wei Chen understands."

Fucha Fude responded with a smile.

Fu Cha Zhixi heard that the emperor had gone to the Empress Dowager's palace, and the Empress Dowager then called the imperial physician. She then knew that her plan had succeeded.

However, this was not the final plan. She also had to completely destroy the good relationship between the Queen Mother and Longkodo and make the Queen Mother fall into complete despair.

She admitted that she was a little cruel, but for Fuzhen, for herself and the Fucha family, she didn't mind being the bad guy.

She would never give the Queen Mother the opportunity to leave a decree that the Queen must not be deposed.

Not long after, news came that the Queen Mother was ill and had to leave the palace to recuperate in Changchun Garden.

The news came so suddenly that Shen Meizhuang was caught off guard.

She tried to leave the palace with the Queen Mother, but was rejected. She had no choice but to stay in the palace.

Soon after the Queen Mother left the palace, shocking news spread throughout the court and the country.

The emperor dealt with Longkodo with lightning speed.

But the person was not sentenced to death directly, but was imprisoned.

On that day, Longkodo himself was secretly sent to Changchun Garden.

He wanted the Queen Mother to personally investigate this evil relationship to comfort his father's spirit in heaven.

The once-prominent Tong family was also implicated with the arrest of Longkodo, and many members of the Tong family were implicated. However, these people were not as lucky as Longkodo and were all sentenced to death.
