Chapter 443 The Disliked Empress 8
Chapter 443 The Disliked Empress 8
At this time, the atmosphere in Zhongcui Palace was very solemn.
As Yuyan stepped into the hall, she saw Mu Beiqing sitting beside the bed, while Chu Xingyue was leaning in his arms with a weak look on her face, crying.
Li Defu, who was walking behind Yuyan, quickly stepped forward and whispered a reminder to Mu Beiqing.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is here."
Mu Beiqing didn't say anything, but his extremely angry eyes shot towards Yu Yan.
The next second, he picked up a blue and white porcelain vase and threw it at Yuyan, speaking in a fierce tone.
"Bitch, you dare to harm the dragon heir, I will destroy you."
Faced with the vase that was thrown at her, Yuyan slowly took two steps back.
The vase fell to the ground without even touching the hem of her skirt.
In response to Mu Beiqing's questioning, she simply asked back calmly.
"Why is the emperor so angry? When have I ever harmed the heir to the throne?"
Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. Seeing Yu Yan's evasive action, Mu Beiqing's face became even more furious. He stood up and pointed at her and shouted angrily.
"Poisonous woman, how dare you dodge and even quibble?"
Idiot, if I don't get out of the way, am I waiting for my head to explode?
Yuyan cursed in her heart, and with an impatient look on her face, she asked him back.
"I don't even know what you are talking about. How can I argue? What is there to argue about?"
"You vicious woman are still pretending to be stupid. Meixiang saw it with her own eyes. Your personal maid secretly put drugs in Xingyue's food, causing her to almost lose the baby in her belly. How dare you pretend to be innocent in front of me now?"
Meixiang is the senior palace maid beside Chu Xingyue.
After Mu Beiqing said this, Yu Yan roughly understood what the situation was.
She walked slowly to the soft couch beside her and sat down. Facing the furious Mu Beiqing, she was not afraid at all. After comforting him casually, she looked at Meixiang beside Chu Xingyue, raised her eyebrows and asked her.
"Your Majesty, please be patient. Meixiang, come here, tell me exactly what you saw in front of me."
Meixiang was so frightened by Yuyan's aura that she trembled.
But when she saw Mu Beiqing next to her, she instantly mustered up her courage again.
Then he spoke clearly and carefully about the cause and effect of the matter.
It turned out that Chu Xingyue had just taken a few bites of lunch when she complained of stomachache. She asked the imperial physician to take her pulse, and the physician said that there was an abortion drug in her meal.
Fortunately, Chu Xingyue had been in a cold war with Mu Beiqing recently, so she was in a depressed mood and had a poor appetite, which barely saved the dragon heir in her belly.
Mu Beiqing was extremely anxious when he heard the news. He no longer cared about being angry or being a male chauvinist and immediately ran to see her.
Then not only did the two of them reconcile, but Yuyan also suffered this unexpected disaster.
Because Chu Xingyue's personal maid testified that when she was getting food from the imperial kitchen, she happened to see Xueyue from Yuyan Palace sneaking into the imperial kitchen, so she concluded that the abortion drug in her queen's food must have something to do with Yuyan.
After Meixiang finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and pleaded to Mu Beiqing tearfully.
"Your Majesty, you must take care of my queen! My queen has never made things difficult for anyone since she entered the palace, but for some reason, the queen has repeatedly tried to harm my queen."
Mu Beiqing ignored Meixiang, his eyes piercing Yuyan like icy blades, and said coldly.
"Now that the evidence is in hand, what else do you have to say? You vicious woman, I have given you the supreme position of Queen, but you are still ungrateful and are trying to murder my concubine and my son. You deserve to die."
Yuyan rolled her eyes, looked at Mu Beiqing, who seemed to want to skin her alive, and confronted him directly.
"Isn't it normal for Xueyue to go to the imperial kitchen to get food in the middle of the day? Why is it that I am under house arrest and not even allowed to eat? Or according to what you mean, aren't all those who went to the imperial kitchen at noon today suspected?"
Having said this, she changed the subject and spoke in a leisurely tone.
"Your Majesty, do you have any other evidence? Mei Xiang's words are just for show. After all, she is Chu Xingyue's person. Who knows if she is following her master to trick me, the queen, and plot against my position as queen."
After these words were spoken, not only was Mu Beiqing extremely angry, but Chu Xingyue in his arms also burst into tears of grievance. She tenderly grabbed Mu Beiqing's clothes and explained pitifully.
"A Qing, I didn't. You know, I'm not that kind of person."
"Yes, I know. Be good, stop crying. Crying for too long is bad for your health. I feel bad for you."
Whenever Chu Xingyue cried, Mu Beiqing felt so distressed that he wiped Chu Xingyue's tears and gently coaxed her.
When Meixiang, who was kneeling on the ground, heard this, she kowtowed her head loudly and repeatedly assured Mu Beiqing while kowtowing.
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. Many people in the imperial kitchen can testify to this. My queen is kind-hearted. How could she use her own child to frame the queen? The queen cannot frame others just to exonerate herself!"
Mu Beiqing obviously thought so too. After comforting Chu Xingyue, he scolded Yu Yan again.
"How dare you! Xingyue is so innocent and kind, how could she deliberately frame you? You are vicious and calculating, and now you dare to frame Xingyue, the victim. You are such a jerk."
At this point, Mu Beiqing felt that the facts were already very clear and there was no need to investigate further. He couldn't wait to convict Yu Yan.
"Evil woman, as the queen, you actually tried to kill the heir to the throne in order to eliminate dissidents. You are not worthy of being the queen of a country. Today I will depose you."
It was not until this time that Yu Yan slowly got up from the couch, walked to Mu Beiqing and looked at him provocatively.
"I am the empress appointed by the late emperor. The Yu family is full of loyal and brave people who have made great contributions to the founding of the Wen Kingdom. Without solid evidence, how can the emperor depose me? How are you going to explain this to the ministers of the previous dynasty? And how are you going to face the generals on the border?"
Deposing the queen was a big deal, especially since she was appointed by the late emperor himself and hadn't done anything unforgivable. Deposing her would be a slap in the face of the late emperor.
Besides, although all her family members had died, most of the generals at the border and in the court today were from her father and brother's army.
Mu Beiqing wants to cripple her at will. If he doesn't give them a reasonable explanation, he can just wait to be punished!
Sure enough, after hearing this, Mu Beiqing's face instantly turned dark.
He clenched his teeth tightly, his chest heaving rapidly, trying his best to suppress the fire of anger in his heart, and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with gritted teeth and said hatefully.
"Jade face..."
Yuyan stood in front of him, looking down at him and spoke in a kind tone.
"I'm here. Although you are good at governing the country, you are still too subjective when it comes to the harem's intrigues. You only favor your beloved ones. How can you possibly find out the real culprit? Come on! Let me help you find the real culprit behind the scenes."
