Chapter 3198 Harem 60

Queen Mother Yu saw that the emperor didn't accept her words at all and gave her a guarantee that he would not kill her. She knew that she was probably doomed now. She couldn't help but hate and be afraid. At that moment, she couldn't help but hate the palace maids and eunuchs who reported her. After all, if they hadn't reported themselves in order to show off in front of the emperor, the emperor would never have known about it. And as long as the emperor didn't know about it, she would have been fine. So from beginning to end, it was the palace maids and eunuchs who were bad.

Thinking of this, Queen Mother Yu looked at the palace maids and eunuchs coldly and said: "Your Majesty still uses people like this who betray their master, and you are not afraid that one day such people will betray you!"

The nuns and eunuchs couldn't help but stiffen when they heard the Queen Mother Yu's provocative words. They were afraid that the emperor would take these words seriously and treat them badly, and all their hard work would be in vain.

As a result, the emperor said calmly: "They don't call it betrayal, they call it betrayal. Don't you think others can report you after you have harmed so many people? If they don't report you, then it's called complicity."

After hearing the emperor's words, those maids and eunuchs immediately felt relieved, and at the same time, they became more loyal to the emperor. After all, how could they be disloyal to the emperor who spoke for them like this?

Seeing that the instigation failed, Queen Mother Yu could only wilt completely.

Her original intention was to provoke the emperor to displease these people, so that even if these people betrayed her, they would not end well. Unexpectedly, the emperor understood clearly.

The emperor said that the Empress Dowager Yu would "die of illness", which was certainly not a lie. She would definitely let the Empress Dowager Yu "die of illness". Even if the Empress Dowager Yu wanted to fight to the death, she would have communicated with her family and sent them a message so that they could prepare in advance, saying that the emperor was going to deal with it. Yu family, or let them spread the news to the outside world that the emperor wanted to kill his mother, it was impossible, because the emperor soon locked up the empress dowager, and sent people to watch as he did to empress Liu, and no one was allowed to See.

Then after a period of time, it was said that the Queen Mother Yu was ill, and finally after another period of time, the Queen Mother Yu "died" of illness.

The people in Duke Chengen's Mansion had always been in contact with the Queen Mother, but suddenly they couldn't contact the Queen Mother, so they wanted to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother.

However, not everyone can go to the palace if they want to. They have to obey orders to enter. In the past, Empress Dowager Yu would summon them in, but now Empress Dowager Yu is locked up and cannot summon them. Even if Duke Cheng'en wants to see them, there is nothing they can do.

Later, news came out that the Queen Mother was ill. Duke Chengen thought that the previous concubines had followed similar tactics, so they thought, could this mean that the emperor wanted to kill the Queen Mother?

Shocked and angry, the people from Cheng'en Palace asked to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother, but the emperor ignored them. And without evidence, they did not dare to spread the news that the emperor had killed his mother outside, for fear of being exposed. I found out and said they had slandered the emperor and wanted to behead them.

Although they were angry that the emperor wanted to kill the queen mother, they did not dare to further anger the emperor and let him kill them. After all, people are greedy for life and afraid of death.

So this group of people could only watch the Queen Mother Yu "die" of illness, and there was no way they could do anything about it.

I only think about the spiritual victory method in my heart, thinking that the Queen Mother is dead and everyone in the capital knows that it was the emperor who killed her. They don't need to spread the news about the emperor's matricide everywhere. Everyone knows about it. In this way, the emperor's reputation can't be lost, so there's no need. They spread the news and the emperor was unhappy when they found out, which was good.

But the emperor didn't want others to say that he killed his mother for no reason. After all, everyone knew that he killed those concubines before because they wanted to harm the children in An Ran's belly and wanted their grandson to rise to power. So although the people knew In this matter, I feel that the emperor did the right thing. After all, those people committed the crime of treason and deserved to die no matter what.

And at this moment, if people outside don't know that Queen Mother Yu killed her biological mother, they may feel that something is wrong if they kill Queen Mother Yu. That is naturally not what the emperor wants to see. He doesn't want evil people to do bad things. , was killed, and others still sympathized with the evildoer, but blamed the person who punished her.

It happened that Duke Cheng'en was an accomplice and had committed many things, and he also had to deal with them.

How to deal with them, of course, is to make their crimes public, and by the way, Queen Mother Yu's crimes are also made public, so that there is no need to worry about killing Queen Mother Yu, which will damage her reputation.

So soon, the family members of the concubines who had been harmed and killed by the Empress Dowager Yu and the Cheng'en Duke's Palace in the past sued the Cheng'en Duke's Palace. This was naturally arranged by the emperor. Of course, they were willing to do so. After all, My own girl became pregnant and gave birth to a prince in the palace. She was supposed to have a bright future, but because she was harmed by the Yu family, she ended up with nothing. Who can accept this fact? It's just that in the past, the Cheng'en Palace was protected by the Empress Dowager, and the emperor was unable to kill the Cheng'en Palace. Liu Shoufu was able to kill him, but he didn't intend to fight to the death with the Yu family and let his political opponents take advantage, so they I have been asking for help to no avail.

Now that someone has accused the Queen Mother of what she committed back then, and the Emperor hints that he can avenge them, these people will naturally seek revenge.

In fact, many people knew back then that the death of their girl was probably related to the Queen Mother, because since the new emperor came to the throne, there have been such rumors in Beijing - otherwise Liu Shoufu would not have investigated at that time, and the Queen Mother had harmed the new emperor. Naturally, many people in Beijing already knew about this matter. This is normal. After the Queen Mother lost power, her confidants left, and many people exposed what the Queen Mother did back then. So Others will know and it is normal.

That is to say, due to various reasons, they were unable to defeat the Empress Dowager and Duke Cheng'en. In addition, they did not have much evidence at hand, so each family endured.

Now that there is evidence, the emperor is powerful again, Queen Mother Yu is dead, and Duke Cheng'en has no backer, then they will naturally seek justice.

So when Duke Cheng'en was still congratulating himself for not spreading the news that the emperor had killed his mother, the people should have guessed it, and thus achieved their goal, they began to be unlucky.

After hearing that the family members of the concubines he had killed, including the emperor's maternal wife, the Wu family, began to accuse Cheng'en Palace of conspiring with the Empress Dowager to poison many concubines and the emperor's heirs with poison, the people of Cheng'en Palace began to Only then did I know that the matter was serious, and I couldn't help being frightened. No matter how stupid you are, you know that now people will not say that the emperor killed his mother, but that the empress dowager Yu killed the emperor's biological mother, as well as many other concubines and heirs of the emperor. It's over.

Of course, it is not only a matter of public opinion, but also that they helped the Queen Mother bring so many poisons into the palace, killing so many people, and their family will die too. I am afraid they will have to kill everyone. After all, they killed so many people. There are so many concubines, especially the emperor's heirs, and the emperor's biological mother. Even if one life is worth one life, it is estimated that more than a dozen people will die in the Cheng'en Palace. What's more, it is impossible to simply tell people's lives. The Cheng'en Palace has committed a crime. For such a big matter, it is certain to seize and ransack the entire family. After all, the emperor's heir and the emperor's biological mother have different statuses. It is impossible to kill these people lightly.
