My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

With a "bang", the emperor slammed the book in his hand onto the dragon table, with anger on his face.

The Crown Prince and the Queen thought that the Emperor was angry with the Sixth Prince. After all, it was normal for the Emperor to feel a huge psychological gap after learning the news.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is still young. Without someone to instigate him, he would never have thought of this method. He's tasted the sweetness this time, but what about next time, and the next time after that? If he doesn't have real talent and knowledge in his head, what will he do if his true intentions are exposed one day?

This is a matter of great importance to the relations between our two countries. I implore Your Majesty to summon the Sixth Prince to confront him on the spot to set the record straight!"

Upon seeing this, the queen immediately made suggestions to the emperor in an earnest manner.

"The Queen is right. We do need to set things right and correct the wrongs!" But it's not directed at the Sixth Prince, but at you and your son.

When the queen heard this, she was delighted.

However, the smile on his face had barely lasted three seconds when the emperor suddenly picked up the poetry book on the dragon table and threw it at the prince beside him.

"Wow!"

The fragile paper soon broke into pieces all over the floor, and some of them landed right on the edge of the queen's phoenix robe.

The queen was dumbfounded!

The prince was also dumbfounded!

Before the mother and son could recover from this sudden change, they heard Emperor Shengjing say sternly:

"Do you all think I've reached the point where my eyesight is dim? In order to drag Xiaoliu into this, you even stole his original poems and articles. Now you're turning the tables and even brazenly claiming they were your own.

Humph! If that's what you did, then why didn't you respond when the Chu envoy provoked you?

"You have brought disgrace upon the royal family by such actions. How dare you come before me and ask me to punish the Sixth Prince, who has made such a great contribution?"

The emperor's words were like a bolt of thunder, striking the queen and the prince on the head. Lei and his mother were stunned on the spot.

The two men were already feeling guilty, and the prince was completely defeated by the emperor's anger.

Didn't they say that this collection of poems would never be known to anyone else in the world? So how did Father know that this poem was plagiarized?

Since the emperor knew about it, why didn't he blame my sixth brother, but only blamed him in his words?

Although the prince was confused, he knew that he could not ask anything or say anything at this time, so he could only bow his head and beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I, your son... I know I was wrong!"

Upon seeing this, the Queen immediately reacted and cried, "Your Majesty! I guarantee with my life that the Sixth Prince is really..."

"shut up!"

Before the queen could finish her sentence, she was sternly interrupted by the emperor.

"The Crown Prince is useless, narrow-minded and aimless, and this is closely linked to you, his mother. You are already the Empress, and you have raised the Crown Prince under your wing, yet why are you still unsatisfied and unable to tolerate the Imperial Concubine and her son? Guo Furong, you truly disappoint me!"

In a fit of rage, the emperor even called out the queen's maiden name.

The queen was stunned on the spot, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Heartbroken? Of course!

Sad? Definitely.

She was the emperor's first wife. Although the emperor had protected Wan Rongyue and her son over the years, he had never expressed his disappointment or disappointment to her, nor had he ever spoken harshly to her.

This feeling is like a couple who have been together for many years, and suddenly one day the man says he is tired and fed up with her and wants to leave her.

It makes you feel like something is about to slip away from your hands and you can never get it back.

The queen was completely panicked.

She no longer cared about smearing the imperial concubine and her son, and hurriedly covered up in an unparalleled way: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong and shouldn't have discussed state affairs. However, this matter is only my fault. Please, Your Majesty, consider my many years of service and only punish me!"

After the queen finished speaking, she knelt down with a moved face and prostrated herself on the cold floor with the prince.

Although no one knows what method the evil concubine Wan Rongyue used, it now seems that the emperor must have known something in advance, which is why he attacked her and the prince.

In private, Queen Guo almost bit her silver teeth to pieces.

She swore in her heart that she would never let go of the evil concubine Wan Rongyue and her son.

However, this time, the emperor did not intend to let it go.

He first glanced at the papers on the ground, then fixed his gaze on the Queen. He asked in a dignified manner, without anger:

"Tell me, where did you get these poems from?"

According to what the girl from the Qiu family said before, she had always carefully preserved this album of poems and had never lost it. But why did the queen know about these poems?

Or has the Guo family been eyeing the Qiu family for a long time?

If this is the case, then there must be other hidden stories behind Qiu Chengde's involvement in the rebellion.

When he thought of this, a subtle light flashed in the emperor's eyes. At the same time, he was observing the queen and the prince calmly.

The queen's body stiffened at first, a flash of panic crossed her eyes, and then quickly disappeared.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Let him speak!" The emperor suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the prince kneeling on the ground.

The prince was a little confused when he was suddenly called out.

He looked at the queen helplessly, hoping to get some reminder or help.

However, the emperor suddenly ordered Su Qinian to ask the queen to leave, saying that he wanted to talk to the prince alone.

In the end, the prince could only watch the queen, who kept looking back, leave the palace, and face the emperor's questioning alone.

After making sure the Queen had gone far away, the Emperor placed the teacup on the dragon table with a calm voice and asked:

"Your mother has left, you can start explaining now. I don't like to hear nonsense. If you dare to say anything that is not true, you will no longer be able to sit on the throne of the Crown Prince!"

This threat is undoubtedly fatal to Xiao Yuche at the moment.

"Father!" He suddenly knelt on his knees, looking at the almighty Emperor Shengjing with a look of panic.

It seems that the emperor is really angry this time, angry at the queen mother and angry at him.

The prince knew that this matter could no longer be concealed.

Rather than waiting for his father to torture him into confessing, it would be better to confess honestly. This way, at least he could keep his position as crown prince temporarily.

Because once he is no longer the crown prince, there is no doubt that the position will fall on his sixth brother.

Xiao Yuche didn't want to let the Sixth Prince take advantage of the situation, so he adjusted his breathing and asked cautiously:

"Father, if I tell you, will you not punish me?"

The last time his mother was punished and grounded to the house, he was embarrassed in front of his brothers and the young masters of the aristocratic families. Those young masters of the aristocratic families took advantage of the situation and thought that his mother had fallen out of favor, so they wanted to stay away from him and isolate him.
