Rebirth of the Princess She is weird

Chapter 72: Dethroning the Crown Prince and Returning the Imperial Seal

The emperor told the empress dowager the whole story.

"The Crown Prince intended to kill the king, and afterwards he beat up his sisters and insulted the Queen. With all these things, is he still worthy of being the Master of the East Palace?"

The queen complained, "My mother and I saw the prince murdering the ministers with our own eyes. My son was beaten so badly that he is still lame. How could he ascend the throne in the future when he is so immoral and unscrupulous..."

"Shut up!" Before the queen could finish her words, the empress dowager suddenly got angry and threw all the tea on the table out. The hot water splashed everywhere. The empress dowager stood up, as if she was going to eat someone.

"The matter is not even clear yet, and you are already here making alarmist remarks. Someone, come and slap me in the face!"

Yuan Fuge immediately stood in front of his mother, "It is true that my eldest brother was assassinated. Could it be that the Empress Dowager is trying to bend the law for personal gain?"

"Yes, mother." The emperor echoed.

Yuan Fuge had never thought that his father was so afraid of the Queen Mother that he even disregarded his own beloved face.

Her words provoked the emperor's last bit of self-esteem. "The imperial examination in Jiangnan was in chaos. I don't know how many people took advantage of the situation to erode the country's treasury. How can the emperor, who has worked so hard to build the country, allow others to point fingers at him?!"

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "Are you saying that I'm overreaching?"

Now that he had said this, Yuan Fuge had nothing to worry about, and said bluntly: "Grandmother, you should return the jade seal in due time. Father can't listen to you like a three-year-old child."

The emperor didn't expect her to say such a thing, and quickly stopped her, "Shu Wan, stop talking."

"I want to say," Yuan Fuge took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "Whenever father does something wrong, the royal grandmother will correct it immediately. Last time it was my wedding, and this time it was an assassination. Which of these things is not a capital crime? But the royal grandmother always comes at such a coincidence. Could it be that she has planted spies around father?"

The Queen Mother swung her sleeves and angrily said, "How dare you! What do you know? I am thinking about Yuan Zhao's country and the whole world."

Yuan Fuge said sharply, "If this is really the case, then please ask the Royal Grandmother to return the Imperial Seal so that Father can truly take charge of the government!"

The Queen Mother was so angry that she pointed at her and was speechless, "You..."

Lu Jiangzhi hurriedly added, "Yes, Queen Mother, the princess is right. Your Majesty wants to do something for the world now. Shouldn't the Queen Mother return the jade seal?"

Helian Furong followed closely, secretly praising the girl's cruelty in his heart, "This old minister also thinks that the jade seal should be returned. Your Majesty is the emperor of Yuan Zhao. It is Your Majesty who has the final say on who to appoint and who to depose."

“You shouldn’t be rude to the empress dowager, but what you said does make some sense.” The emperor straightened his back instantly and felt proud.

He walked aside and could not help but said, "Mother, I have to manage the country and the family, and the affairs are complicated. I am afraid that it will tire you out. Why don't you take this opportunity to return the jade seal to me, and you can go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to spend your remaining years in peace?"

"You!" The Queen Mother was shocked and looked at the once cowardly emperor in disbelief.

She suddenly laughed out loud, "So you had thought it through a long time ago and were waiting for me here on purpose."

The emperor didn't want to see her arrogant look, so he simply said: "The Queen Mother is holding the imperial seal and causing panic among the people. Shouldn't she hand over the imperial seal if it caused the tragedy of the Jiangnan Imperial Examination?"

The empress dowager turned pale and smiled bitterly, "You have really grown up. You dare to talk to me like this. Someone, go and get the jade seal for His Majesty. His Majesty must come to rule the country in person!" After saying that, she glanced at Yuan Fuge hatefully.

This girl would do anything for her mother. The emperor knew this and deliberately let this young fish dive into the deep sea, waiting for an opportunity to muddy the waters of the world.

Let all those vying for the crown prince show up one by one, and then catch them all in one fell swoop. It was such a deep plot that even she, an old fox, couldn't see through it.

She actually asked her once weak and vulnerable stepson to walk over.

The emperor who got the jade seal instantly seemed like a different person. His body straightened up, his waist straightened up, he put on a yellow robe, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face looked majestic without even being angry.

Maybe he has always been like this, but I just haven't noticed it.

The first step the emperor took to gain power was to depose the crown prince and hold imperial examinations.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately knelt down and begged, "The Crown Prince cannot be deposed. Even if the Crown Prince has made a thousand mistakes, he still has a good heart. He was just blinded for a moment."

The emperor seemed to have endured for a long time, and shouted angrily, "You are so blind that you want to kill your sister and the king?"

"If Shu Wan gets married, who would want to take advantage of her?" The Queen Mother couldn't stand the contrast and retorted, "She has so much power, who wouldn't want her?"

The emperor cursed, "If Shu Wan doesn't marry, will my kingdom be ruined?"

"Shut up!" The Queen Mother cried, "How can you just say something like that?"

"Pass on my decree to depose the crown prince. Anyone who pleads for mercy will be executed!"

As soon as the imperial edict came out, the prince fainted in court.

The Queen Mother objected to the imperial decree and said sadly, "Your Majesty, I know you hate me, but the prince cannot be deposed."

"Why does my mother still want to control me now?" The emperor turned his head and said to the outside, "The queen mother is old. I order her to be sent to the Imperial Ancestral Temple for recuperation."

"Your Majesty, we can't do that. Without a crown prince, the princes will surely fight for the crown princeship, and the country will be in chaos!"

The emperor ignored her and left with a group of people, leaving behind only the debris waiting to be cleaned up.

Tangyue Pavilion at night.

Lu Yanxiu was still staying in the Queen's Palace because of "illness". Yuan Fuge was also injured and was lying on the couch chatting with him.

"You saved me again."

Lu Yanxiu was in a state of disarray, slumped on the chaise longue, "Then how should the princess repay me?"

"Then I'll marry you?" She really couldn't think of anything valuable.

Lu Yanxiu sighed and looked into her eyes, "I want you to marry me wholeheartedly, not just marry me out of favor."

Yuan Fuge was puzzled. Didn't he always want her? Why was he hesitating now?

A favor must always be repaid, she frowned and asked, "What do you want?"

Lu Yanxiu thought for a long time and finally decided, "How about this, you cook for me too?"

Yuan Fuge's face lit up with joy, and he clapped his hands and said, "I can do this."

The man on the other side immediately drooped his ears and looked at her resentfully: "You don't have to marry me, are you so happy?"

Yuan Fuge threw the pillow over with a smile, "Hmph~ Stop making fun of me..."

Lu Yanxiu caught it steadily, lying on the chair and smiling foolishly...

Yun Ping lifted the curtain and came in, saying angrily, "Hey, General, please take it easy. My princess' leg is still injured."

After being scolded, Lu Yanxiu was very unhappy and pouted: "She was obviously teasing me, how did it become my fault?"

"Oh, it's all your fault anyway!" Yun Ping snorted, turned around and walked towards Yuan Fuge with the ointment.

He squatted down and said in a deep voice: "Princess, although the Queen Mother has retired, she is still the master of the harem. She asked the princess to get married as soon as possible, saying that you have too much power and she is afraid..."

"Did the Emperor agree?"

Yun Ping nodded.

Yuan Fuge sighed and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's already bad enough, how could it get any worse?"

After Yunping applied the medicine, she went out.

The room fell into a deathly silence. After a while, Yuan Fuge lay on the couch and spoke slowly, "It's sad, they put all the pressure on a woman."

Lu Yanxiu couldn't help but think of the time when he rode his horse on the battlefield, and sighed, "Yes, an eagle that should have been soaring is trapped in this dark court every day, and is forced to learn to be deceitful."
