Chapter 240 Brutal Concubine
Su Peisheng originally wanted to tiptoe closer to listen, but Jianqiu decisively stopped him.
"Eunuch Su, this is a matter between the Emperor and Empress, so it's better for us not to interfere."
"I heard that the Emperor was feeling unwell, so I believe he must have other reasons for coming to see the Empress."
"Qiu promised, you..."
"Eunuch Su, there's some soup in the kitchen. Please come this way."
Jianqiu resolutely stood in front of Su Peisheng to prevent him from disturbing his master's good deeds.
"The Queen Mother intends to restore the relationship between the Emperor and Empress. If you go in now, wouldn't that be a betrayal of her efforts?"
The master has been calling the eldest prince's name in his dreams recently. Jianqiu feels that the master is obsessed with the prince.
Anyway, the master has already left the emperor in the room, and everyone has been offended, so we might as well give it a try.
"Qiu agreed, the soup slave will not drink it, but just stand guard at the door."
The mixed moans of men and women coming from the inner room became louder and louder, and Su Peisheng retreated to his original position with a gloomy face.
The Queen is so confused!
His old friend might be in trouble again this time.
Whether he saves the Lord or not, he will not be able to escape punishment.
After about half an hour, the emperor's angry voice came from inside: "Su Peisheng, get out of here!"
The emperor, with his chest heaving violently, stared at the naked queen lying on the bed and slapped her hard. The crisp sound of the slap made Su Peisheng's heart skip a beat.
Then he heard the master's cold and fierce questioning voice.
"How dare you! You drugged me again!"
The queen's head tilted to the side after being hit. She looked at the emperor with red eyes in disbelief and tried to defend herself: "Your Majesty, this is you..."
"I don't want to hear you speak. Su Peisheng, pass on my decree. The Queen has misbehaved and is hereby deposed..."
Before the emperor could finish his next words, his body swayed and he fell onto the bed behind him.
Su Peisheng tried his best to hold the emperor's body to prevent him from crushing the queen.
Jingren Palace was not a place to stay for long, so Su Peisheng asked the guards to guard the gate well and not let anyone out, and then he hurriedly carried the emperor back to the Yangxin Palace.
Zhang Wuwei placed his hand on the emperor's pulse and felt it carefully for a while before speaking with difficulty.
"Eunuch Su, the emperor has a high fever. He fainted from anger."
"I will go and prescribe medicine right away. But the emperor needs to rest and recuperate."
He sensed traces of strong and dangerous drugs in the emperor's pulse, and knew he must be well taken care of.
Zhang Wuwei values his life and will definitely not record his true illness.
"Doctor Zhang, how long will it take for the emperor to wake up?"
Thinking of the chaos in Jingren Palace, Su Peisheng pulled the person to a corner and asked in a low voice.
"Eunuch Su, the emperor's illness is very severe this time. It's hard to say when he will wake up."
Zhang Wuwei was not lying. The emperor was already in poor health, and going to the harem while sick made his condition even worse.
"Doctor Zhang, thank you for your hard work. Please make sure the master wakes up as soon as possible."
Su Peisheng requested in a low voice and stuffed a bulging purse over.
When the emperor was in Jingren Palace, he clearly had the intention of deposing the queen.
Although he had his guards on guard there, if the news leaked out, it would definitely cause a shock to the previous dynasty.
What's more, there is the Queen Mother who is at odds with the Emperor and is devoted to protecting her niece.
He cursed the queen over and over again in his heart for her stupid move.
Zhang Wuwei couldn't stand Su Peisheng's look of mourning for the exam, so he gave the emperor an acupuncture in the dead of night.
At daybreak, the emperor woke up in a daze.
"Su Peisheng, send me to Shoukang Palace!"
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhang said you need to rest."
Su Peisheng, with huge dark circles under his eyes, hurriedly persuaded.
"As long as that vicious woman is still the queen, I will not be able to calm down."
"Hurry and prepare the dragon chariot, and have Zhang Wuwei accompany us."
The emperor gave the order with gritted teeth.
The Ulanara family is going too far!
No matter how the empress dowager protected others, he wanted that vicious woman, Ulanara, to be punished.
"Aunt Zhuxi, I have something important to discuss with the Empress Dowager. Please inform her on my behalf."
Sun Zhuxi could feel the suppressed anger of the emperor and did not dare to delay at all.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor wishes to see you regarding an important matter."
"Zhuxi, let him in."
The Queen Mother waved her hand to signal the palace maid who was dressing her to stop, then slowly stood up and walked out.
According to the rules set by ancestors, the emperor should pay his respects to the empress dowager at the beginning of the morning hour every day.
However, their mother-son relationship was weak, so the empress dowager exempted the emperor from paying his respects.
This was the first time since she had spoken so harshly that the emperor had taken the initiative to come to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects at this hour.
Yesterday, Princess Longyue first arrived at Shoukang Palace, and everyone in the palace was surrounding the little princess.
Sun Zhuxi didn't take it too seriously when he received the news that the emperor had gone to Jingren Palace.
So the empress dowager, who was unaware of the situation, asked with a smile.
"Wasn't the Emperor still running a high fever yesterday? Why did he come to my palace so early?"
The emperor looked around and gave serious orders.
"I have something to say to the Queen Mother. You all should leave."
After getting the Queen Mother's approval, Sun Zhuxi led his men down.
"Your Majesty, have you sent the palace maids away? But is there something important you want to say?"
"Have you, Her Majesty, ever heard of the fragrance of warmth?"
The empress dowager, who was holding the teacup, blinked and took a sip of tea calmly.
"What does the Emperor want to say?"
"A lot of stolen goods were found among the flowers, plants and soil in various palaces. All clues point to Jingren Palace."
"I went to Jingren Palace yesterday, and the hysterical queen gave me drugs."
The emperor pushed the teacup on the small table towards the empress dowager and stared at her.
"Madam, may I ask if this is the girl that the Ulanara and Uya families have carefully nurtured?"
"How can such a jealous and vicious person be the mother of the world?"
"May I ask..."
The emperor asked a series of questions to vent all the frustration in his heart.
"Empress Dowager, when I think of the Ulanara clan having such a despicable person, I feel chilled for you."
The Queen Mother listened quietly to the Emperor's accusations, her face expressionless but her heart surging with emotion.
She never imagined that the queen she helped to become would do such a thing.
The Queen Mother sighed softly.
"I haven't been concerned about the affairs of the harem for a long time. I really didn't expect that the queen who cared about you so much would go astray."
The emperor chuckled when he saw that the queen dowager was still making excuses for the queen.
"Madam Empress, I suspect the Ulanara clan deliberately cultivated such a vicious woman to bring disaster upon me. I wish to issue an order for her severe punishment. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I understand your anger. But the mistakes of one person should not bring disaster to the entire clan. There are also loyal and virtuous people in the Ulanara family who serve the court faithfully and should not be implicated by the mistakes of one person."
As soon as it came to her family, the Queen Mother made a decision in her mind.
"It is true that the Queen was wrong this time. She should leave it to the Emperor to deal with."
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your understanding. For Chunyuan's sake, I will give up her position as Empress, but retain her title of Consort. She is not allowed to leave Jingren Palace without being summoned."
The emperor slowly expressed his thoughts.
As long as the Queen Mother agrees, he will have his own way to deal with it.
As soon as the emperor returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he could not wait to write the imperial edict to depose the empress.
"Su Peisheng, quickly go to Jingren Palace and convey my decree to depose the empress. Remember to inform the six palaces."
"The slave obeys the order."
Su Peisheng just took a glance and saw that there was one less queen in the palace and one more Concubine Li.
He understood that the life of the man in Jingren Palace was over.
