Chapter 306 The Legend of Zhen Huan Original Female Lead 90
"Humph, she's nothing but a foxy girl, relying on her beauty to seduce the emperor. When she gives birth to a prince, who knows how arrogant she will be!"
"Hush, keep your voice down. Don't say this carelessly. If the emperor hears it, our lives will be in danger!"
......
Chu Huan turned a deaf ear to these rumors and just focused on taking care of her pregnancy every day. She did not have much contact with other concubines.
Yinzhen was even more considerate to Chuhuan, and he wanted to bring all the good things in the world to her.
Yinzhen's face was terribly gloomy. He held the secret report tightly in his hand, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible.
The contents of the secret report were shocking, and recorded in detail how the queen had used various means to harm the royal heir over the years.
Although he had found some clues before, after truly investigating everything she had done over the years, he discovered that there was more to it than he had imagined. No wonder his offspring were so... shabby compared to his father's. It turned out that it was all thanks to his good queen.
Yinzhen took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. He threw the secret report on the table and said coldly: "I claim to be benevolent and righteous, but I didn't expect that there would be such a vicious person in the harem! The queen has such a cruel heart!"
Inside the Cining Palace, the air was filled with the scent of sandalwood. The empress dowager was resting with her eyes closed, twisting a string of Buddhist beads in her hand. When she heard Yinzhen's footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes.
"How come the Emperor has time to come to my place today?" There was a hint of fatigue in the empress dowager's tone. She had heard that the harem had been in turmoil these days.
First, Nian and Zhen were sentenced to death, and then the Seventeenth Prince died suddenly. She didn't believe that this had nothing to do with her good son.
Then the imperial concubine was poisoned, and the emperor was furious and punished many people.
After the Imperial Concubine became pregnant, she thought things would be quieter, but she didn't expect that not long after, that stupid Concubine Qi would come out to cause trouble again, and now she is useless.
"Empress Dowager, I came here today to tell you something important." Yinzhen looked solemn, with a hint of suppressed anger in his tone.
"Oh? What could make the emperor so embarrassed?" The empress dowager put down the Buddhist beads in her hand and motioned Yinzhen to sit down.
Yinzhen took a deep breath and presented the secret report in his hand: "Please read this, Madam Empress, this is the result of my secret investigation these days."
Yinzhen simply didn't believe that the Queen Mother didn't know about these things.
He knew very well that if it weren't for the Empress Dowager's mediation behind the scenes, Yixiu would not have been able to murder so many royal heirs so quietly.
And Chunyuan, after all, is the Empress Dowager's niece. She has such a cruel heart.
The Queen Mother took the secret report and read it carefully. The more she read, the tighter her brows furrowed and her expression became more and more unsightly.
The secret report recorded in detail how the Queen had used various means to harm the royal heirs over the years, and even revealed the truth about the incident with Queen Chunyuan.
"This... this is simply... unscrupulous!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she was shaking all over, and the secret report in her hand was deformed by her.
The Queen Mother knew that she could no longer protect Yixiu.
"She...how dare she be so cruel!"
"I never thought that the Queen would be so cruel!" Yinzhen's tone was full of anger and heartache.
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and tried to calm her anger. She looked at Yinzhen and asked in a deep voice, "How does the Emperor plan to deal with the Queen?"
"I... want to depose the queen!" Yinzhen said word by word with a firm tone.
"Deposed Queen?" The Queen Mother was shocked.
"Has the emperor thought it through? Deposing a queen is a big deal. Since ancient times, deposing a queen has to be done with extreme caution, not to mention..."
"Empress Dowager, I have made up my mind!" Yinzhen interrupted the Empress Dowager.
"What the Queen has done is beyond the reach of justice. I will never tolerate such a woman continuing to sit on the Queen's throne!"
"But... the Queen is the daughter of Ulanara after all. I'm afraid that if she is deposed..." The Queen Mother firmly disagreed. Yixiu was from Ulanara, a big Manchu family, but over the years, the previous dynasty had not produced many important officials. If Yixiu was deposed, the Ulanara family would really be in decline.
"Your Majesty, do you know what deposing the Queen means?" The Queen Mother's tone became stern, and her eyes, which had experienced many vicissitudes of life, looked directly at Yinzhen.
"If Yixiu is deposed, how will the Ulanara clan cope with it? What will the court officials think? What will the people of the world think?"
Yinzhen clenched his fists, veins popping out on the back of his hands: "My Queen Mother, for these false names, am I going to tolerate a vicious woman to continue to sit on the throne of Queen?"
"Emperor!" The Queen Mother slammed the table, her eyes wide open in anger.
"I know you hate Yixiu, but there is no way you can depose her! I will never allow the Ulanara clan to produce a divorced woman!"
"Empress Mother, are you willing to sacrifice so many innocent lives for the sake of your family's reputation? Can you bear to watch my descendants being killed one after another?"
"Emperor!" The Queen Mother slammed the table and shouted harshly.
"In your eyes, do you still have the Empress Dowager in your eyes? Do you still have the Ulanara clan?"
"Empress Dowager, my surname is Aisin-Gioro, I am the Son of Heaven, and I don't need anyone to make fun of me for anything I want to do. And... I said, I am not here to discuss with you, but to inform you!"
The Queen Mother's hand that was about to slam the table froze in mid-air, and she looked in disbelief at her son, who seemed like a completely different person.
"Emperor!" The Queen Mother was so angry that the Buddhist beads in her hand fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
"Do you still have me, the Empress Dowager, in your eyes?"
Yinzhen looked at the Queen Mother coldly, without a trace of warmth in his eyes: "My Queen Mother, I respect you as my elder, but you should not forget your identity. You are the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty. I am the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. This harem and this world belong to me!"
"You..." The Queen Mother pointed at Yinzhen, she was so angry that she was shaking all over, she couldn't catch her breath and almost fainted.
A trace of pity flashed across Yinzhen's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
He walked to the Queen Mother and spoke in a slower tone: "My Queen Mother, please calm down. I know you are doing this for the good of the Ulanara family, but what the Queen has done has crossed my bottom line. I have made up my mind. I will announce it to the world tomorrow and depose the Queen. If My Queen Mother still wants to interfere, then I don't mind letting the Fourteenth Prince..."
"Emperor! You are going to force me to death!" The Queen Mother's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. She never thought that this unfilial son would say such a treasonous thing.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Fourteenth brother acts on impulse and is bound to be taken advantage of. There are many factions in the court now, and I have no choice but to protect him..." Yinzhen's tone was still cold.
"To protect him?!" The Queen Mother straightened up suddenly, a sharp light flashing in her turbid eyes.
