Chapter 491 Qianlong's Succession 1
"Master, news has come from the front, His Majesty, His Majesty he..." A palace maid ran in in a panic, her face full of horror.
The calm, gentle and elegant woman sitting at the desk was startled for a moment, then continued copying Buddhist scriptures.
"You're so old, but you're still so impetuous~" The woman's voice was gentle, with a hint of intimacy in her tone.
"Your Highness, please go and have a look!" The maid had a desperate look on her face. "Xiao Xizi sent a message that the servant who flatters the emperor has arranged for several prostitutes from Jiangnan to board the emperor's dragon boat. Rumors have spread everywhere..."
"What?!" The woman was startled, and the brush in her hand suddenly fell, and the ink stains on the scriptures were all over the place, ruining a section of the scriptures. "Do you know that defaming the emperor's reputation is a crime that cannot be punished!"
"I dare not. If it weren't for the rumors outside, I would not dare to disturb the Queen." The palace maid knelt on the ground, feeling speechless.
“……”The woman was stunned.
"You go down first, Your Majesty. This matter has not been exposed yet. Besides, the Emperor is very happy. Why should we do this?!" A maid came in and said with a worried look on her face.
"Haitang, where did you get this news? Is it really... like this?"
When the woman finished speaking, her voice trembled inexplicably.
"Yes, Xiao Xizi saw it with her own eyes!" After the little palace maid said this, she looked at the nanny, then at the girl, and quickly retreated.
The woman covered her forehead and almost fainted for a moment.
"Someone, help me change my clothes!" She held onto the table, shaking with anger. "Which servant is so bold?"
The nanny was silent and didn't say much. She just arranged for someone to help the woman dress up.
After all, the emperor is the Son of Heaven. Who can force him to do something he doesn't want to do?
I'm afraid it's him...
The woman closed her eyes: Of course not, they have been together for so many years, he is the best man in the world!
Even so, things and people have changed now.
The woman walked on the road, and her usual gentleness and quietness suddenly became solemn and dignified!
But just as she was about to step onto the dragon boat, the eunuch leader Wu Shulai came over with a nervous look on his face and greeted her with a stiff smile:
"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good fortune!"
The woman nodded slightly and was about to go up.
The eunuch hurriedly stood in front and tried to smile: "Empress, the Emperor has political affairs to attend to, so he won't see you--"
"Your Majesty... hehe, so annoying~" A few women's laughter could be faintly heard from inside.
The woman looked at the eunuch coldly.
The eunuch looked bitter and didn't know what to do.
The woman had passed him and got into the boat.
"The Queen has arrived!" Following a sharp voice, the room suddenly became quiet.
The woman opened the door and sunlight came in.
The light was everywhere, revealing a bit of chaos.
Several women timidly followed Jinzhong and retreated.
The woman seemed unable to bear it and walked in with a cold face.
The man inside looked annoyed that his interest had been disturbed.
When he saw the woman, a trace of guilt suddenly flashed across his face.
"Why is the Queen here?"
The woman seemed to have a thousand words to say, and finally tried hard to suppress the anger in her chest.
But the tone is still a little stiff:
"Your Majesty, those slaves who fawn on you should be severely punished!"
"Oh? Is the Queen teaching me how to do things?" The man's face darkened.
"I dare not, but I am the queen, and I should assist the emperor wholeheartedly!" The woman lowered her eyebrows, she was afraid that the dissatisfaction in her eyes would overflow.
"Oh? Really? The Queen copies scriptures every day, and she is really diligent!" The man sneered.
"I am not here to quarrel with Your Majesty. Your Majesty knows that there are rumors outside..." The woman's chest heaved, and it seemed that she was very angry, but she still tried to calm down.
"How could I not know? I am the emperor? Is it other people's turn to tell me what to do?!" Today, the country is peaceful and the people are at peace. The emperor who holds great power is strong enough and prefers women who are like dodder.
As soon as these words came out, the woman's body shook involuntarily, her eyes full of disbelief.
The man suddenly turned his back and said nothing more.
But that sentence seemed to have hit the woman hard...
"Others? We have come to this point?"
The man seemed to feel some regret, but he said nothing.
The woman suddenly turned around and tried to leave. The man behind her looked annoyed.
Just, this moment.
She thought that the two of them were just drifting apart, but she never expected that the man had actually rotted away from her memory.
She has always been gentle and calm, but when such a person gets stubborn, even ten cows can't pull him back.
The moment she reached the door, she couldn't help but turn around.
The man thought she was going to admit her mistake and even blamed himself for his hurtful words.
But the woman suddenly fell to her knees, looking ready to die.
"Your Majesty, I have to tell you even if you don't want to. It's not because I'm the queen, I'm still your wife. I don't want the bright and majestic emperor to be splashed with filth. You are an emperor with great talent and strategy. How do you want the world to see you when rumors spread that you are visiting prostitutes? Don't you want to give up your good reputation for a hundred years? You admire the Qin Emperor and Han Wudi, but who among them would hang out with those filthy prostitutes? You make the people doubt their emperors--"
"Pa!" The man was so angry that he slapped her.
A clear palm print instantly appeared on the woman's face.
"Heh! Queen, I say you are the Queen, and you are the Queen. Without me, who are you? And you dare to teach me how to do things?!" The man's eyes were filled with anger.
Those words make a lot of sense and are very thoughtful!
But does he need others to tell him what to do?
Her death made him seem like a beast who would be infamous for eternity!
"Oh, hahaha, is this how the emperor sees me?" The light in the woman's eyes suddenly went out.
The beauty is still here but the love has ended, she has already clearly realized this.
In this world, which man doesn’t have three wives and four concubines?
The fact that she had no children but was granted titles of concubine and consort was enough to show the emperor's favor to her.
However, everything that happened today made everything she insisted on come to nothing.
"Huifa Nara, I am the king and you are the minister! Without my favor, how are you different from those prostitutes you look down upon?" The man looked at her coldly with a chilly tone.
He was not angry because the queen was wrong.
But because the Queen was right!
He was so angry that he said the queen was crazy.
Just as he said, he said the queen was crazy, then she must be crazy, who dared to question it?
He is the Son of Heaven, and his words are golden!
The court officials fawned on him and hoped to promote him to higher positions.
The concubines vied for his favor, hoping that he would live a life of wealth and glory.
Even if she is the queen, doesn't she rely on her to be remembered forever?
A group of slaves dare to question their master? !
Who gave her the courage!
Kneeling on the ground, with a few wisps of disheveled hair, the queen seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant.
He missed his parents every day, and never forgot to be kind to them even when they were ill.
He had been with her for decades, but in the end, she was no different from a prostitute.
He admired the Holy Ancestor every day, but it turned out that he only learned his form but not his spirit.
Ah!
“Oh, I am no different from a prostitute! Hahaha, I feel sick whenever I think of how many years I have loved you! You praise the Holy Ancestor every day, but the Holy Ancestor has never been to a place of brothels! You are not as good as the late emperor, let alone the Holy Ancestor! If they knew that today the emperor compared the queen of a country with a prostitute! They would surely...hahaha!”
The man kicked her in a rage, his eyes full of murderous intent. He grabbed the woman's neck and gnashed his teeth, "Nara, how dare you?"
"I dare not!" The woman's face was pale, and one side of her face became more and more red and swollen.
It's quiet at this moment, as if I have used up all my strength!
"Come here, the Queen will be stripped of her seal and sent back to the capital to be banished to the cold palace."
The servants outside were all frightened when they heard the noise inside.
When Nara looked at the emperor who had promised to grow old together with her in their passionate love, she felt mixed emotions.
She returned to her yard, ignoring the rumors flying outside.
He stared into space in a daze.
