Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother
Chapter 177 A plan within a plan
The Emperor's gaze drifted between Consort Xian Yixiu and the Crown Prince. He said indifferently, "I wonder if it was Consort Xian who broke the palace rules today, or if the Empress summoned the Crown Prince privately, or if the Crown Prince deliberately intruded into the palace?"
This question undoubtedly put the three of them on the fire. Yixiu dug her nails into their flesh. Your Majesty, he is so cruel!
This is to let them choose one person from the three of them to take the blame, but...
One is her son, and the other is her sister who has been with her through thick and thin. Although Yixiu considers herself not a good person, she still can't bring herself to do it.
She is a human being, not an emotionless and heartless beast!
Concubine Xian spoke first: "What happened today is all my fault! I beg Your Majesty to punish me severely and not blame the Empress and the Crown Prince!"
She quietly tugged at Yixiu's clothes, her eyes full of relief.
Now that Hongpan is well, what can he do even if the emperor deposes him?
But the prince is a man with great ambitions, and Yixiu, as his biological mother, cannot make any mistakes. Today's incident was caused by herself, and she cannot cause trouble for her sister and the prince anymore.
Yixiu held on, not letting the tears fall. She could only tell herself over and over again in her heart that one day she would personally take away Gan Ziyun's position. By then, he would no longer be the virtuous concubine, but the virtuous grand concubine!
"Prince Xun, Prince Xun, you can't go in!"
The eunuch's anxious voice rang out from outside, followed by Prince Xun's voice: "Brother Your Majesty, I beg to see you! What happened today was done by me. Please punish me severely and don't blame the Crown Prince!"
The Emperor laughed sarcastically after hearing this. He rubbed the beads in his hand and said with a smile, "Today is really interesting. Everyone is rushing to take the blame on themselves. I really want to see if someone else will come out and confess after a while."
Su Peisheng looked at the emperor nervously, and only after getting the emperor's permission did he bring Prince Xun over.
After meeting the emperor, Prince Xun took all the blame on himself.
"Brother Your Majesty, I brought the Crown Prince into the palace today. Because the guards outside tried to stop us, I had no choice but to use my sword. I know this is a crime of great disrespect. If Your Majesty wishes to kill or punish me, I will do so without hesitation!"
The emperor's face turned as black as ink. After a long moment, he slowly replied, "If I want to kill you or punish you, I won't hesitate. Okay, no hesitation! Old Fourteen, seriously, do you think I dare not kill you? Do you believe I will chop you off right now?"
Prince Xun took off his hat and feathers, bowed deeply to the emperor, and said nonchalantly, "Your Majesty, I thank you!"
The emperor was almost mad at Prince Xun and died, but he couldn't really kill Prince Xun.
Not to mention that Prince Xun is her own brother. If something happens to him, what will the Queen Mother do?
Just look at the Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and others who didn’t move, let alone him!
He killed his own brother right after ascending the throne, and he didn't want to be severely recorded by historians and be infamous for eternity.
When Su Peisheng saw this scene, he had to step forward to smooth things over.
He smiled bitterly and said to Prince Xun: "Hey, Prince Xun, please admit your mistake to the emperor. You are the emperor's biological brother. How can the emperor kill you? You are not..."
The emperor took a deep breath. Although he valued Nian Gengyao now, he also needed to use the fourteenth prince to restrain him. The most secure way was to maintain balance, and he could not allow one person to dominate the court.
"Old Fourteen, get out of here right now. I can forgive you for what happened and just assume you were drunk and talking nonsense!"
Prince Xun smiled frankly, "Brother Your Majesty, everything that happened today is my fault. I was not drunk!"
"Okay, okay, everyone is becoming more and more capable!"
The emperor angrily threw the beads in his hand to the ground, and the beads shattered into pieces, making a crisp sound on the floor.
"In that case, pass on my command. Prince Xun broke into the palace with a sharp weapon, intending to do me harm. Now, I am stripping him of his title and confining him to the palace, barring him from leaving without my permission! Are you satisfied? Get out!"
Prince Xun smiled with relief. He looked back and respectfully bowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. Long live the Emperor!"
After the Emperor deposed Prince Xun, he returned to the Yangxin Palace. The Empress Dowager wanted to find out what was going on, but the Emperor had already taken his men out of the palace to inspect, leaving the Empress Dowager empty-handed.
Although the crown prince was not deposed, the emperor now ignored him utterly, and the officials in the court also noticed the emperor's thoughts. For a time, everyone turned against him, but there were also many loyal officials who continued to follow the crown prince.
In the harem, Concubine Hua was extremely proud.
Although the emperor did not depose the empress and the crown prince this time, he had lost trust in them. Concubine Xian no longer had the power to assist in managing the six palaces. Now there was no one in the palace who could compete with him.
Gyeongin Palace
"Your Majesty, I have already practiced my song! I am willing to help you share your worries!"
An Lingrong said.
Yixiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, An. The emperor is in a bad mood right now, so it's not the best time to recommend you. Just focus on your preparations. You will have your day!"
An Lingrong lowered her eyes and whispered, "I understand!"
After An Lingrong left, Jianqiu couldn't help but ask, "The Hua Fei family is the only one in power in the palace right now. Your Majesty, why don't you take this opportunity to promote An Lingrong? This way, you can also take away Hua Fei's favor and prevent her from being so arrogant!"
Yixiu tilted her head and said with a confident smile, "If you want to destroy him, you must first make him crazy. Watching him build a tall building, watching him entertain guests, and watching his building collapse, this is interesting! But you are right, Concubine Hua is indeed too arrogant now. Go and tell the Empress Dowager to find a way to propose to the Emperor that Concubine Shen assist Concubine Hua in handling the affairs of the six palaces!"
Because of Hong Pan's matter, Yixiu entered a low period, but it coincided with Yixiu's ideas and plans.
The biggest threat to Honghui's ascension to the supreme position is Nian Gengyao.
They had to first use the emperor's hand to get rid of Nian Gengyao or depose him, so that they could seize the throne with confidence.
Doesn’t Concubine Hua want to step on me to ascend to the supreme throne? Then I will give her this opportunity. But I don’t know whether she and the Nian family can withstand this wave of wealth!
Now because of Prince Xun, the Queen Mother and Yixiu were in the same boat. She could only listen to Yixiu's words and propose this matter to the Emperor.
The emperor was very satisfied with this proposal. Concubine Hua was too arrogant and really needed a reliable person to assist her.
Concubine Shen was a very good candidate, so the emperor immediately named her Concubine Hui and asked her to handle the affairs of the six palaces together with Concubine Hua.
Upon hearing the news, Concubine Hua was furious. She cursed, "It's not easy to defeat the Queen, and now here comes Concubine Hui! The Queen is really powerful. She's already been rejected by the Emperor. If it were me, I would have died of shame long ago, but she's still thinking of recommending someone new to the Emperor!"
