The queen's eyes turned red, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"I am the Emperor's empress, we are husband and wife, if you harm his interests, aren't you also harming me? Moreover, His Majesty has shown great favor to our Chen family, why would you do this?

Prince Dongshan is the emperor's younger brother. He is dedicated to serving the emperor. Why do you want to harm him? Why do you want to do that?"

Chen Guojiu's anger was rising. He said angrily:

"Why? Of course I did it for you!"

Seeing the queen's puzzled look, he explained:

"It's true that you are the queen, but you don't have any children. The emperor has a good relationship with you now, but what about in the long run? What if you lose his favor?"

The queen frowned, becoming even more confused.

The emperor has always cherished their childhood friendship, and even when there are other beauties in the harem, he has never lost face for the queen.

There was no other woman in the harem who was particularly favored by the emperor. How did the uncle know that she was going to fall out of favor?

Uncle Chen shook his head, took a step forward, and stared at the Queen across the fence. He said:

"I just wanted the emperor to rely on me more. Even if you don't have any children in the future, the emperor can't abandon you for my sake!

The Prince of Dongshan is a grassroots prince without any foundation. His mother is just a lowly palace maid. The son is honored by the mother! Who the hell is he? Why should the emperor use him so much? "

He spoke with great contempt for King Dongshan and kept belittling a prince.

The queen felt her legs go weak and her head was buzzing.

She has no children, and the emperor hasn't even abandoned her yet, but her brother has already decided that she will be deposed in the future?!

What is the logic?

Is her brother crazy?

Not to mention that she is still young, even if she really has no heir in this life, given her friendship with the emperor, there is no way the emperor would depose her.

She held up her legs and asked with difficulty:

"Is this your own idea, or did someone tell you that?"

Chen Guojiu paused and whispered, "Isn't this obvious? Everyone says so."

The queen rubbed her forehead, feeling full of powerlessness.

"Brother, no matter what others say, can't you see it with your own eyes? Can't you understand what the emperor has done to me and our Chen family?"

Uncle Chen said nothing, but it was obvious that he did not agree with what the Queen said.

Queen: "Do you still think that the Emperor has treated the Chen family unfairly?"

Uncle Chen muttered quietly, "He didn't show much favor to our family. The fathers-in-law of previous dynasties all held important positions in the court, but you see our father only holds a sinecure."

The Queen sneered, "How can the situation be the same? The fathers-in-law of the previous dynasties were able to hold important positions because they were born into aristocratic families, and they originally held important positions.

They were not promoted because there was a queen in their family. On the contrary, sometimes it was because they had outstanding abilities in the court that the girls from their family were chosen as queens.

What about our family? What kind of aristocratic family is our family? Or is it a big clan?"

Chen Guojiu was not convinced, "If we want our family to rise to the top, it's just a matter of the emperor's words!"

The queen was so angry at her brother that her chest hurt. She didn't expect her brother to be so unreasonable now!

At the beginning, the late emperor did not want to make the current emperor the emperor. He arranged a marriage for the prince, who was the queen's legitimate son at that time, and specifically chose the Chen family, which was of a very low status.

Which future emperor's marriage partner would not be someone from an aristocratic family with a good background and ability?

At that time, the late emperor used his actions to tell everyone that he did not want to make the queen's son the crown prince.

Fortunately, she and the emperor already had feelings for each other at that time, so the suppression of the previous emperor did not make the current emperor too uncomfortable.

After all, this girl from the humble Chen family was the one he truly loved.

This can be considered a blessing in misfortune.

Because she became the queen, the Chen family's status rose a lot, but it was still not good enough in front of the real aristocratic families.

Because what is lacking is the genuine foundation.

Aristocratic families refer to families or family groups that enjoy special status and influence.

People don't just look at the status of your generation. The so-called aristocratic families often have a long family heritage.

Hereditary or otherwise, holds a prominent place in the political sphere.

They themselves control a large amount of land, wealth and other resources, and they also need to be respected and recognized by society.

Focus on the inheritance and education of family culture.

Expand your sphere of influence through marriages with other powerful families.

Which one does the Chen family have?

How can a single word from the Emperor transform the Chen family?

Make bricks without straw!

The Chen family was still peasants three generations ago! They still want to become an aristocratic family?

Aristocratic family! They dare to say this, but do the Chen family dare to admit it?

Aren’t you really afraid of being laughed at by the world?

There were so many complaints that the queen was too lazy to argue with him.

She really didn't want to talk to her brother anymore, but there were still some key questions she wanted to ask.

"You were restless in doing the job the emperor assigned you during the disaster relief. Why did you make such a fuss? Why did you insist on killing Prince Dongshan?"

Uncle Chen was not convinced and said:

"That bastard is so lucky. I see that the emperor is increasingly favoring him. I am afraid that his crime will be exposed in the future, so I thought I would just kill him once and for all! I will take advantage of the disaster victims besieging Tan County to eliminate him completely!"

The queen couldn't hold on any longer and she collapsed to the ground.

Chen Guojiu shouted nervously: "Sister, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

The queen looked numb and turned to her brother with empty eyes, "Brother, I'm afraid I can't save you..."

Her voice was so soft that it seemed like a whisper.

A dignified prince, in her brother's mouth, turned into a mere lowly creature! This is the son of the late emperor!

They are also the brothers that the current emperor relies on. How could they become insignificant people in his mouth?

When did the Chen family become so arrogant? Her brother's courage was so great that he was lawless. No wonder the emperor was so disappointed with her and the Chen family!

The Queen asked one last question in despair:

"Brother, this is the first time you stole my token, right? Tell me, what have you done with the token?"

Uncle Chen pursed his lips and didn't utter a word.

The queen's eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

Her brother's silence meant that it was not the first time he had stolen the token, and he had done many things that could not be spoken of.

She didn't dare to ask, nor did she dare to listen to what her brother had done!

She was afraid that she couldn't bear it.

No wonder the emperor angrily killed all her family members who came with her as dowry and did not allow anyone to plead for mercy. His cruelty was terrifying.

I think the emperor already knows everything.

No wonder the emperor refused to allow the Chen family to visit him in prison!

The Emperor might have the intention to kill, but this was a turbulent time and he didn't want turmoil in the court, so he suppressed his anger.

The more the queen thought about it, the more disappointed she felt. She hated her brother for being so ignorant of his own limitations and causing such a terrible disaster!
