"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"Your Majesty, this was definitely not done by the Queen!"

"His Majesty……"

The palace maids and eunuchs around Empress Yu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to plead for mercy for her.

"Shut up! If anyone talks again, I will drag him out and beat him to death!"

The emperor's wrath made everyone shudder and fall silent instantly.

The emperor looked down at the dishevelled woman in front of him with cold eyes, anger and hatred gushing out. He said in a low voice: "Yu Hongling, I already know everything about what happened back then! You were jealous of Yu'er's pregnancy, so you secretly poisoned her, which led to her death in childbirth.

Erlang has been in poor health since he was born, all because of the poison you gave him! Not only that, you also secretly withheld Erlang's medicine, almost killing him! I remember all of this in my heart!"

The emperor was filled with rage, and every word he said was like a sharp sword piercing Queen Yu's heart. She was stunned, her eyes full of fear.

"You are so cruel and merciless that you can even harm a pregnant woman. You are simply insane! If it weren't for Queen Yu, you would have died long ago!" The emperor gritted his teeth and glared at Queen Yu fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

The emperor's words made Queen Yu completely collapse. She fell limply on the cold floor, tears pouring out like a dam bursting, wetting her delicate makeup, and dripping onto the ground one by one.

Everything she had done had been exposed and could no longer be covered up. She knew she was finished.

The expression on Queen Yu's face was frozen, and she was in a daze for a long time. Her eyes gradually became dim and distracted, as if her soul had been taken away.

She looked at the man in front of her in despair, the king of a country, her husband who had slept with her for many years. Gradually, she began to laugh softly, and the laughter gradually grew louder, "Hehehe...hahahaha...hahahaha...you knew it a long time ago but you kept it to yourself until now. You are so pitiful, Jin Yan!"

At this point, Empress Yu was desperate. Her hair was disheveled and she glared at the emperor with resentment, poking at his heart.

"presumptuous!"

The emperor was really enraged, and he raised his hand and slapped him -

"Snapped!"

Queen Yu was hit hard on the head by the slap, and the next moment, half of her face quickly became red and swollen.

"Miss!"

"Queen!"

Ms. Liu, who was beside Empress Yu, crawled over on her knees to beg for mercy, her forehead banging against the floor, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I didn't mean it!"

The chief steward gave a look and a eunuch came forward and forcefully covered Ms. Liu's mouth.

"Your Majesty... mmmmmm..."

Ms. Liu was restrained with great force and dragged roughly, unable to struggle.

Queen Yu covered her face and said in a shrill voice, "You hate me? Why do you hate me? If it weren't for me, would you be able to hold on to this position?"

"I treated you wholeheartedly, but what happened? After you ascended the throne, you welcomed that woman into the palace and doted on her. Do you still remember me, your first wife?"

"Why did Yang Yu do that? Why?! It was me who accompanied you through the lows! My father and brother have made great contributions to the Great Jin Dynasty. Everything we have in the Yu family was earned with our own hands and strength! We are worthy of the people of the world!"

"Yang Yu is a concubine, yet she dares to show off in front of me. She deserves it!!"

Queen Yu shouted the last words in a hoarse voice.

The emperor leaned over, grabbed Empress Yu's chin, and said viciously, "Because of this, you want to kill Yu'er?"

Meeting the king's sinister gaze, Queen Yu suddenly realized what a stupid thing she had done and broke out in a cold sweat.

She knew that what Jin Yan hated most was being in power by her father and brother. Even though he knew that she was the one who killed Yang Yu, due to the authority of her father and brother, he could only endure it and remain dormant in secret for so long.

It just so happened that she had been pent up too much resentment in her heart for too long, and when it burst out all at once, she cursed out all at once. I'm afraid Jin Yan will hate her even more now.

Now that the Yu family has fallen, my elder brother is dead, and the remaining nephews are incompetent, the emperor can't wait to settle the old accounts.

After she was deposed, she had no way to turn around. All she could hope for now was not to implicate Dalang's position as the crown prince.

But Queen Yu knew clearly that if the Yu family fell and she was deposed, how long could Jin Si be the crown prince?

Considering how much Jin Yan doted on Yang Yu and her son, I'm afraid her son might not even be alive!

Sure enough, the next moment, the emperor's cold voice rang out: "The queen is unworthy of the position, and has killed the imperial concubines and heirs. You will be demoted to a commoner immediately. From today on, you are no longer my queen! You will stay in the cold palace!"

After saying this, he vigorously pushed Queen Yu away, turned away without any reluctance, and left Queen Yu collapsing on the ground with tears streaming down her face.

When the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess heard about this, they hurried over and learned the whole truth on the way.

It was indeed Empress Yu who poisoned the young Concubine Yang Guipin, causing the second prince to be weak after birth.

The prince was both angry and anxious, secretly resenting his mother for being so bewildered as to do such a wrong thing and not even dealing with it cleanly.

They knew it was the Queen's fault, but they could not bear to see their mother being deposed, so they both knelt outside the Imperial Study and begged for mercy.

"Father, please calm down. Please forgive her this time for the many years of service that Mother has given you."

"Father, the Queen Mother was simply possessed by a ghost. Now that she has truly repented, let her pay the penalty and worship the Buddha." At least she shouldn't be deposed.

All the ministers who came upon hearing the news also knelt down and echoed in unison: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The door of the imperial study was closed and the emperor was busy handling government affairs, as if he could not hear the sound outside the palace.

After an unknown amount of time, the door creaked open and everyone immediately looked over with joy.

The old chief steward in camel-colored palace clothes came out, swinging a whisk, and said in a pinched voice under the eager gaze of everyone: "Your Majesty has made up his mind, and all the ministers should go back!"

"But……"

"No buts!" The chief steward suddenly turned cold, "Yu Shuren plotted to murder the imperial concubines and the heirs of the royal family. The evidence is irrefutable. Not only did she kill Yang Guipin, she also killed many beauties. Everything is her own fault! You can't blame others! And you can't blame Your Majesty for not remembering our old friendship!"

Finally, the chief steward gave a cold warning, "If you keep begging for mercy, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble too!"

Then, the chief steward flicked his sleeves, turned and walked into the imperial study, leaving the people kneeling on the ground looking at each other in bewilderment.

The matter was settled, and everyone had no choice but to get up and leave with sighs.

The storm subsided temporarily, but the atmosphere in the palace became more solemn.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess knew that they had to be more careful to avoid causing trouble again.

During this period, the prince went to the cold palace to see the deposed queen once. After coming out, he seemed to be silent. He restrained his arrogance and behaved in a reserved and humble manner.

Many ministers also lamented that the prince had grown up.
