Qin Qiong lay there listening, and she suddenly felt that maybe she didn't need to get up. It would be lively enough if they continued playing like this without her coming out to disrupt the fun.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the crime of murdering royal brothers and sisters!

Oh my god! This is a story.

At this time, Qin Qiong admired the queen mother a little bit. Her courage and determination, if the queen mother hadn't insisted on killing her, Qin Qiong would have wanted to help her. This queen mother is quite impressive.

The emperor calmed down at this time. In this situation, everyone is doing their own thing. If you have something to say, then he naturally has something to say too.

"Empress Dowager! I dare not take the blame for these crimes. The Queen Dowager just said that she wanted to know who ordered the murder of Concubine Qin. Then, I also want to know why the Queen Dowager wanted to kill Concubine Qin. The murder happened in the dark night a few days ago, but this time it happened in broad daylight!"

"Please tell me clearly, Queen Mother. Are you dissatisfied with Concubine Qin again? Is it really because she can make Lian sleep peacefully and recover that this disaster happened?"

The emperor immediately began to ask questions loudly.

"Haha... what a 'must ask'. Then I have to ask the emperor, how did I offend the emperor, that the emperor allowed this woman to run into my palace and do whatever she wants, and even dared to touch me... the Queen Mother of the Ming Dynasty..."

"Please, Your Majesty, can you also tell me who gave her such courage? Who dared to instruct this woman to do such a treasonous act against me?"

The Queen Mother became excited again. She glared at the Emperor on the stage with her red eyes and spoke loudly.

Whenever Empress Dowager Li thought of what Concubine Qin did that day, she would tremble with anger. It was the shame of her entire life, a hurdle she would never be able to overcome, and the deepest fear in her dreams.

"what?!"

The emperor obviously did not expect the empress dowager to have such an attitude at this time. He didn't know what happened in the empress dowager's palace that day. He just felt that the empress dowager had really put in a lot of effort and was pretending too realistically, so he immediately calmed down.

"Queen Dowager, what are you talking about? As far as I know, Concubine Qin has only been to your palace twice, and you asked her to go both times. You didn't say anything afterwards, but now you are saying that Concubine Qin has committed a treasonous act against you? Where did you get this from? Not to mention that Concubine Qin doesn't dare, even I don't have the courage you say. What exactly do you want to say by saying this now?"

"Hehe! Yes, I didn't pursue this girl's crime at that time, because I knew who made her so bold and unscrupulous!"

"I still care about the bond between us as mother and son...but I didn't expect you, you beast!"

The Queen Mother was so angry that she started arguing with the Emperor.

Qin Qiong was lying there listening, and he felt a little hopeful. If they continued to curse at each other like this, who knows, the two of them might even come up with some golden words in their verbal sparring.

"Queen Mother!"

At this time, the left prime minister on the side stopped the empress dowager who was about to continue scolding. Such a quarrel was obviously not the intention of the left prime minister and his men. They had prepared such a big scene, certainly not for the purpose of scolding people for fun.

"The Queen Mother has been wronged these days. I understand how she feels right now. However, you asked me to announce this imperial decree in front of all the civil and military officials in this occasion today."

"Then, Queen Mother, you must let everyone know the whole story and give the Emperor a chance to appeal and explain. Otherwise, as the current Queen Mother, if you let the Emperor deprive him of his legitimate son, I'm afraid..."

These words were heavy and harsh.

At the beginning, the emperor was relegated to a lower position, and the origin of the emperor's title was brought up again, making people feel that if the emperor lost the status of the legitimate son, the emperor would be unjust. At the same time, the empress dowager was asked to give the reason for not recognizing him, which fundamentally shook the legitimacy of the emperor's title.

At this time, the ministers below did not dare to speak. Although the monarch and his subjects came before the mother and son, this sounded like a matter between the mother and son, and it was not easy for them, as outsiders, to say anything. So, everyone could only lower their heads and pretend not to hear anything, but their ears were perked up.

"Well, gentlemen!"

The Queen Mother was the Queen Mother after all. When she heard what the Left Prime Minister said, she immediately calmed down.

"I know you must be wondering why I would issue such an imperial decree at this time. Now, I will explain it to you clearly so that you can see clearly the evil deeds of Yelu Zhong, this traitorous, vicious and cruel beast!"

The Queen Mother was a little excited again...

"Queen Mother!"

At this time, the right prime minister spoke: "The emperor has been on the throne for many years, and has been respectful to the queen mother for many years. If there is anything inappropriate in the past few days, I believe it must be unintentional. Please consider the emperor's respect and filial piety for many years and punish him more after returning to the palace. At this time..."

"Respect?! Right Prime Minister! Are you blind?"

When this was mentioned, the Queen Mother became angry again.

"He has never had any respect for me, Your Majesty? Haha, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't be able to take the throne. Ask him what he promised me and what he promised Ru'er. Now... now where is Ru'er, she, she? Don't you know?!"

After these words were spoken, the ministers below were unable to respond and everyone was silent for a while.

The deposed Empress Li was the granddaughter of the Left Prime Minister. Her nickname was A Ru. She was made Empress as soon as she entered the palace and gave birth to the third prince, Yelu Haotian.

At that time, there were rumors among the court and the public that if the queen gave birth to a prince, he would be named crown prince. However, just when the queen was about to give birth to a prince, the emperor named his eldest son the crown prince in order of seniority.

At that time, Empress Li caused a big fuss in the palace, causing the child to be born prematurely and almost cause an accident. Since then, the emperor and the empress have been at odds. Later, the crown prince died in battle. Under pressure from the empress dowager, the emperor named the third prince as the crown prince.

However, later on, Queen Li murdered the former crown prince, persecuted concubines in the harem, and even poisoned the emperor. Queen Li was deposed and imprisoned in the cold palace, and the third prince died of illness not long after.

"Yes, I did agree... But the country has its own laws, and the royal family should follow them even more. I have already told you and Li that the eldest son of the emperor has done nothing wrong, so how can he be deposed just like that?"

"Besides, what did Li do? I think the Queen Mother must know it, right? Why was she locked up in the cold palace? According to what she did, she deserves to be cut into pieces!"

"His Majesty!"

The left prime minister stepped forward and said loudly: "The crime of deposing Empress Li has not been convicted to this day! At that time, we only listened to the words of that palace maid, and there is no evidence at all!"

"That maid was from her own palace, her closest maid. She was the first to report it. There were also medical records from the Imperial Hospital and drugs found in Li's palace. Moreover, Li herself admitted it. The Queen Mother was also present. No one in the palace knew about it. How dare you say such things today!"

The emperor was also angry.

"I dare not! But, I heard from the Queen Mother afterwards that Empress Li did have some complaints against the Emperor, but she never admitted to the crimes from beginning to end!"

The left prime minister raised his head with red eyes and spoke with sobs.
