Chapter 571 The Legend of Zhen Huan An Lingrong 28

"Empress, at this point, are you still going to lie and confuse right and wrong? The evidence of your crimes is irrefutable, but you are accusing Rong'er instead. You really have no sense of shame!"

"Su Peisheng!"

Su Peisheng lowered his head, not daring to breathe, and the whisk in his hand trembled slightly. He had followed Yinzhen for many years and had never seen the emperor so angry.

"Draft an imperial decree. Empress Ulanara is jealous by nature, spreads mischief, and frames concubines. She is to be deposed immediately and banished to the cold palace!" Yinzhen's voice was cold, without a trace of emotion, and every word was like an ice cone hitting everyone's heart.

"No! The Ulanara clan cannot have a deposed queen!"

This sudden shout was like thunder out of the blue, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

"Emperor! Do you still have eyes for me, your mother?! Ulanara is the empress's legitimate daughter, how can you just depose her?"

Yinzhen sneered, his eyes becoming even colder: "Madam, the Queen has committed such a huge mistake, and the evidence is irrefutable. If we don't depose her, how can we explain this to the world? How can we stop the gossips?!"

"Is there solid evidence? I think it's a fabricated accusation!" The Queen Mother said sternly, "I watched Yixiu grow up. I know what kind of person she is. She is virtuous and a model for the country. How could she do such a treasonous thing? Emperor, have you been bewitched by this vixen and lost your sense of right and wrong?!"

"Fox charmer?!" Yinzhen laughed in anger and hugged An Lingrong even tighter.

"Empress Dowager, please be careful with your words! Rong'er is gentle and kind, well-educated and reasonable. How could she be the foxy girl you are talking about?! It is the Empress who appears to be virtuous on the surface, but in fact harbors evil intentions. Her vicious deeds are too numerous to list!"

The Queen Mother was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at An Lingrong and trembled. "Good! Good! Good! I have finally seen what it means to be a beauty who brings disaster! Emperor, for this woman, you have even disregarded the rules of our ancestors! Ulanara is the Empress of the Qing Dynasty. How can you depose her at will?!"

An Lingrong snuggled in Yinzhen's arms, her frail body trembling slightly, tears silently falling, and I felt pity for her.

Yinzhen stroked her hair lovingly and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." He raised his head and swept his eyes at the empress dowager like a knife.

"Mother Empress, I have made up my mind. The Empress must be deposed!"

The atmosphere in the palace was tense, and the air seemed frozen. Yixiu sat on the ground, looking ashen. She knew that she was doomed. But she was unwilling to accept that An Lingrong would take away everything from her!

She raised her head suddenly, with crazy flames burning in her eyes, and roared: "An Lingrong! You bitch! You will die a horrible death!"

An Lingrong shrank back in fear and hid behind Yinzhen, not daring to speak. A trace of disgust flashed across Yinzhen's eyes, and he said coldly, "Come here, take the deposed queen away and banish her to the cold palace!"

Two guards stepped forward and dragged Yixiu away. Yixiu struggled all the way, cursing continuously, echoing in the empty hall, making people shudder.

The Queen Mother slumped down in a chair, "Emperor, you...you are going to force me to death..."

Yinzhen had no expression on his face and spoke in a cold tone, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am only enforcing the law impartially and maintaining order in the harem."

"I have to remind you, Empress Dowager, that you are the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty and the daughter-in-law of the Aisin-Gioro family... You don't want your fourteenth brother to die in the imperial mausoleum, do you?"

The Queen Mother's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and her originally pale face became even more bloodless. She tightly grasped the handrail, her fingertips turned white, and her body trembled slightly, like a dead leaf swaying in the wind.

Fourteenth was her most beloved youngest son and her greatest support in her later years. Yinzhen's light words were like a sharp blade that pierced her heart.

"Emperor, you...are you blackmailing me?" The Queen Mother spoke with difficulty, her voice hoarse and slightly trembling.

Yinzhen still had no expression on his face, his eyes were cold: "Empress Dowager, I am just reminding you that there are some things that, if you do them, you will have to pay a price." He paused, with a hint of warning in his tone.

"Fourteenth brother has stayed in the imperial mausoleum for long enough. I originally planned to let him come out for some fresh air, but..."

He deliberately left his words unfinished, leaving the Queen Mother enough room for imagination. The Queen Mother naturally understood the unfinished meaning of his words. The life and death of the fourteenth child depended entirely on her thoughts.

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the fear and anger in her heart, and said calmly, "Emperor, I know you resent me for favoring Yixiu, but Yixiu is your queen after all, the legitimate daughter of the Ulanara family. If you treat her like this, where will the Ulanara family stand?"

"Ulanara clan?" Yinzhen sneered: "Madam, do you think I care about a family that has long since fallen?" His eyes were as sharp as a knife, piercing the heart of the empress dowager: "The Qing Dynasty today is my Qing Dynasty. It is not the turn of others to tell me what to do if I want to do it!"

The Queen Mother was shocked by his strong aura and was speechless for a moment. She knew that she could not defeat Yinzhen. This son had been very cunning and thoughtful since he was a child. Once he made up his mind, no one could shake it.

The Queen Mother leaned back in her chair, looking as if she had aged ten years in an instant. After a long while, she sighed, with a hint of helplessness and compromise in her tone: "Emperor, you have grown up, and I am old too. I can no longer control you."

She slowly closed her eyes, tears falling from her eyes: "It's just that Yixiu is your wife after all, I hope you can... give her some dignity."

Yinzhen looked at the empress dowager's lonely figure, and a trace of pity flashed through his heart, but it was soon replaced by coldness. He said calmly: "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, I know what to do."

He turned around, gently helped An Lingrong up, and said softly, "Rong'er, I'm scared."

An Lingrong shook her head gently, her eyes red, and I felt pity for her: "I'm fine, I'm just worried about Your Majesty..."

"I'm fine." Yinzhen stroked her cheek gently and looked at her tenderly: "I said I would protect you."

"Your Majesty..." An Lingrong snuggled in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, her heart filled with sweetness and a sense of security.

The news of the empress's dethronement was like thunder, exploding in the capital. The court officials were discussing it, the people were whispering to each other, and all kinds of rumors spread quickly among the people.

Some people said that the queen was deposed because she was jealous of Concubine Li's exclusive favor, while others said that the queen had ulterior motives and intended to murder the emperor.

The Ulanara clan was in even greater chaos. The clan elders went to the palace to see the Queen Mother overnight, hoping that she would intercede and save the position of the Queen. However, the Queen Mother closed the door and let them beg outside the palace.

In the cold palace, Yixiu's hair was disheveled, and she looked like a mad woman. She cursed An Lingrong, and then cried Yinzhen's name, muttering "Your Majesty, I am wronged!". It is a pity that the queen, who once was the mother of the country, has fallen to this state.
