Yes!

Queen Feng Yuanheng had no intention of denying that she was the one who spread the rumor about Concubine Chen in the palace, because she knew that it was useless to deny it.

After all, she had been the queen for many years, and she knew very well that if Xiao Lin wanted to investigate, nothing in this world could be hidden from Xiao Lin.

She didn't want to struggle and lose face.

"If you hadn't made any mistakes, my original intention was to demote you to a noble concubine and assist in managing the six palaces."

Xiao Lin saw the Queen's misbehavior, but he was not moved at all.

This was his original idea.

After all, as the Queen said, she has done her best to handle the affairs of the harem during the years she has been Queen, and even if she has no credit, she has worked hard.

He was sorry to her for deposing her from the position of queen.

But she should never, ever use such vicious rumors to slander Hua Wu.

Hua Wu is gentle and kind, and can even forgive those who hurt her. How could Feng Yuanheng have the heart to do this? !

He was the one who was wrong, why didn't she do anything to him? !

"But you should never, ever use such despicable means to hurt Ah Wu."

Emperor Jinghong Xiao Lin's voice was cold and heartless, and his eyes revealed his deep disappointment in Queen Feng Yuanheng.

Ah Wu?!

Is this how he usually calls Hua Wu? !

Queen Feng Yuanheng's heart trembled, and she felt indescribable bitterness.

She looked at Xiao Lin deeply again, and was jealous of Hua Wu in her heart. How could she deserve Xiao Lin's wholehearted love?

She was demoted to a noble concubine, probably because of Hua Wu.

Hua Wu is a merchant's daughter after all, and she has a lot to learn if she wants to become a queen.

If virtue is not matched, there will be disasters.

The emperor obviously wanted to give her the honor of a queen, but he didn't want her to suffer the hard work of a queen.

After figuring this out, Queen Feng Yuanheng lowered her head and tears silently rolled down her cheeks.

Hua Wu...you really make people jealous!

Want her to help Hua Wu? !

Ah……

Then let her be willful one last time...

"Your Majesty, I have committed a crime and cannot continue to be the queen. I ask to be deposed and please allow me to leave the palace and go to Huangjue Temple to practice asceticism!"

Empress Feng Yuanheng stood up, bowed with great ceremony, and touched the ground with her head.

She didn't know whether Xiao Lin would allow it.

But she really couldn't serve the man who had stolen her husband and her position as queen without any hesitation.

If she had to face Hua Wu with a smile every day, she was afraid that she would go crazy first.

At the same time, this is also her revenge.

Hua Wu wants her position as queen, right? Then take on the responsibilities of the queen as well!

By then you will know that not everyone can sit on the throne of queen.

Queen Feng Yuanheng thought that her little trick could not be hidden from Emperor Jinghong Xiao Lin, but she still stubbornly knocked her head to the ground, waiting for Emperor Jinghong Xiao Lin's reply.

She didn't know how long it had been before she finally heard Xiao Lin's cold words, "Sure!"

After saying this, Xiao Lin didn't even look at her again, and turned around and left without any reluctance.

When Feng Yuanheng looked up again, she only saw a piece of bright yellow clothes disappearing from her sight, and also disappearing from her life.

At this moment, Feng Yuanheng finally understood the feelings of the women who had conspired to curse the founding emperor of Dayan.

Jealousy, resentment, unwillingness, despair...

He never had her in his eyes!

Even if it was just the last time they saw each other, he didn't want to stay with her any longer.

Feng Yuanheng pinched his palms until they were bloody and finally suppressed the hatred in his heart.

"My lady..."

Huaping hugged Feng Yuanheng and burst into tears.

She felt sorry for the Empress's efforts over the years, but she didn't even get the slightest sympathy from the Emperor.

Just because they spread some rumors about Concubine Chen, the emperor was so cruel that he wanted to depose them. Now he wanted to send them to Huangjue Temple for meditation.

"Hua Ping, don't cry."

"That's good."

"Let's go accompany my aunt..."

Feng Yuanheng smiled bitterly.

If Xiao Lin didn't agree to her, she would feel aggrieved and angry.

You deposed me from my position as queen, yet you still want me to stay and help Hua Wu manage the six harems.

This is too bullying!

However, Xiao Lin agreed coldly, and her heart was cold again. It seemed that she could never keep him.

Let’s go then!

She went to Huangjue Temple to live a quiet life, and also to see what would be the final fate of Hua Wu, who was praised so highly by Xiao Lin!

……

Not long after, Empress Feng Yuanheng's memorial requesting to be deposed spread like thunder throughout the entire palace, and even throughout the court and the country.

The memorial clearly stated that she was jealous of Concubine Chen and spread rumors to slander Concubine Chen, committing the seven offences and asking to be deposed...

All the court officials were shocked when they heard the news.

They never thought that the queen, who was always known for her dignity and virtue, would do such a thing.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion inside and outside the palace, and all kinds of speculations and rumors were spreading.

The ministers also had different opinions on this matter.

Some old ministers believed that as the master of the harem, the queen should win people over with virtue rather than spread rumors. The queen's immorality was a loss to the state and such behavior was detrimental to the state and she should be deposed.

Other officials held different opinions. They believed that the queen was also a human being with emotions and desires, and it was inevitable for her to act impulsively. Moreover, she was able to take the initiative to admit her mistakes and request to be deposed, which was commendable and should be forgiven.

Emperor Jinghong Xiao Lin approved and issued all the memorials submitted by the old ministers to depose the empress. However, none of the memorials submitted to protect the empress were issued but were withheld by Emperor Jinghong.

Those who were smart had already understood what Emperor Jinghong meant—the Emperor was determined to depose the Empress!

Although Empress Feng Yuanheng had done nothing wrong in managing the palace affairs over the years, the Emperor was now determined to depose her. Most of the important officials in the court were in agreement with the Emperor on this matter. What could they do with their insignificant influence? !

Their current emperor is an iron-blooded emperor who will soon recover his country and he always keeps his word!

I can only lament in my heart, Queen, Queen, you are so confused!

The Imperial Concubine Chen already has a good reputation and is the apple of the Emperor's eye. How can the Emperor tolerate your malicious attempt to frame her and put her to death? !

After the rumor broke out, Imperial Concubine Chen, considering the overall situation, endured it silently, and even complained for those who had hurt her. Imperial Concubine Chen was truly impeccable in doing this, and her character deserves the word "virtuous".

Now, they want to say a few words for the queen, but they don’t know where to start.

Sure enough, half a month later, the imperial edict to depose the queen was officially issued. The queen Feng Yuanheng, who was once known for her dignity and virtue, could not escape the fate of being deposed.

Along with the decree to depose the empress, there was also an imperial decree to execute the once most favored concubine in the harem, Concubine Ji, now Concubine Chu, for spying on the emperor during his assassination attempt, spreading smallpox plague with the intent to murder him, and endangering the royal family...
