Chapter 36 "The emperor is heartless and has no children, and the concubines are causing troubl
Qianqing Palace.
The Queen Mother has been clamoring to go to Qingzhuyuan in person to find Concubine An. She will not believe that the Emperor is really dead until she sees the Emperor's body.
Wei Ruyan tried to persuade her for a long time, but the Queen Mother refused to listen. Her patience ran out and she slapped the Queen Mother fiercely.
The Queen Mother was stunned, covering her face and looking at Wei Ruyan in disbelief: "Queen, how dare you attack me?"
The last time she was slapped was ten years ago. At that time, she was just a concubine and her emperor Chu Zan had not yet become the emperor.
She had been in this palace for more than twenty years, but she had to walk through mountains of corpses and seas of blood to reach the position of Queen Mother.
I really didn’t expect that! She painstakingly summoned Wei Ruyan into the palace and elevated her to the position of mother and queen, but was slapped by Wei Ruyan.
Wei Ruyan also felt that he had been impulsive at this time and regretted it very much.
But after all the beatings, the overflowing water could not be recovered. She simply turned her face and said: "Queen Mother, let me tell you the truth! The emperor is dead, and Prince Xiang will come soon. You must write down the decree and let Prince Xiang ascend to the throne as emperor."
The Queen Mother was even more confused. It took her a while to understand, "You, you mean, the Emperor was killed by you and Prince Xiang, and Prince Xiang will come to Qianqing Palace soon to force him to ascend the throne."
Wei Ruyan sneered: "Queen Mother, you are so smart."
This is so ironic. Does it mean how stupid the Queen Mother was when she called her into the palace as the Queen?
The Queen Mother wanted to slap herself in the face at this moment. She was inviting a wolf into the house! It killed the emperor, caused chaos in the imperial city, and made the court unstable.
"Wei Ruyan, you will be punished. I treat you so well, but you dare to collude with outsiders to rebel and usurp the throne."
Wei Ruyan's eyes tightened and she said coldly: "Queen Mother, are you really good to me? It was rumored outside that the emperor would not be promoted, but you still wanted to summon me to the palace. If I hadn't pretended to be sick, I would have been summoned by you. In the palace."
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth: "So, you are willing to enter the palace this time because you want to help King Xiang rebel and usurp the throne?"
Wei Ruyan smiled: "You are right, the reason why I am willing to enter the palace is to assist King Xiang in his rebellion and usurpation of the throne."
Queen Mother: "But Your Majesty, he is not unwilling to do anything. He and An Bin..."
When Wei Ruyan heard this, she became angry instantly and shouted at the Queen Mother: "It's because of An Bin. Although the emperor is a capable person, he doesn't love me, he only favors An Bin. I have also thought about standing on the emperor's side. , but I don’t see a shred of hope from the Emperor, even the Emperor has kept silent about it during the conferment ceremony.”
The Queen Mother smiled bitterly: "So you still chose Prince Xiang."
Wei Ruyan smiled again: "Yes, in the end I chose Prince Xiang. He said that as long as he becomes the emperor, I will still be the queen."
"Hahaha……"
The Queen Mother laughed.
Wei Ruyan suppressed a smile: "Why are you laughing?"
The Queen Mother couldn't stop laughing. She paused for a while before pointing at Wei Ruyan and saying, "You are so stupid! Much stupider than me. I am stupid because I called you into the palace to become the queen, but what about you?" ! You actually believe that Chu Chenmu will make you the queen after he becomes the emperor."
Wei Ruyan: "Of course he will let me be the queen. He can become the emperor because of my contribution."
The Queen Mother laughed again: “You are so stupid that you don’t know what to say.
Wei Ruyan, just think about it! If Chu Chenmuzhen becomes the emperor, and you, as the late emperor's queen, will he let you become the queen despite the criticism from the courtiers?
Don't forget that Chu Chenmu has a wife, and you are the late emperor's queen.
Besides, Chu Chenmu is the emperor who rebelled, and your presence will only make him remember that his emperor's name is not justified.
Ultimately, death is where you end up. "
Wei Ruyan felt as uncomfortable as a scratching cat's claws.
She shook her head: "It's impossible. Chu Chenmu said that he will definitely continue to let me be the queen."
The Queen Mother sneered: "Dream! Wei Ruyan, the most unbelievable words in this world are the words of a man."
Wei Ruyan panicked and raised her hand to hit the Queen Mother again, but when she heard the noise coming from outside, she turned to smile and looked outside: "Great, Prince Xiang must be here."
But when she arrived at the door, she felt as if she had seen a ghost, because the person who came turned out to be Emperor Chu Zan.
Someone in the palace was shouting: "The emperor is in good health, long live the emperor."
Immediately, all the maids in the palace of Qianqing knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately stood up excitedly and ran outside.
Chu Zan was dressed in a dragon robe, handsome and majestic. He held Yu Jinshu's hand and stepped onto the steps of Qianqing Hall together.
Thousands of palace guards followed behind.
The Queen Mother ran to the door of Qianqing Hall and cried with joy to Chu Zan: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are still alive!"
Wei Ruyan was frightened and wanted to escape like a scurrying rabbit, but was caught by the guards who quickly ran into the palace.
Chu Chenmu's people were also captured by the guards.
Chu Zan looked at the Queen Mother and bowed first: "Your Majesty, I've shocked you!"
The Queen Mother was a little confused: "Your Majesty, what is going on?" She saw the big yellow dog next to Yu Jinshu, "Wei Ruyan said before that you were bitten to death by a vicious dog in Qingzhuyuan."
Dahuang barked twice at the Queen Mother, as if he was dissatisfied with what the Queen Mother said.
The Queen Mother was so frightened that she hid behind Chu Zan.
Yu Jinshu quickly tightened the dog leash.
Chu Zan comforted the Queen Mother: "Don't be afraid, Queen Mother. Dahuang is my life-saving dog. When An Bin rescued my son outside the palace, it was Dahuang who bit the assassin who wanted to kill my son."
The Queen Mother relaxed a little: "That's it!"
She looked at Chu Zan carefully again: "My prince, why do some people say that you died suddenly?"
Chu Zan looked out of the palace with a solemn expression: "Queen Mother, I will show you a good show soon."
General Pei personally dragged Chu Chenmu up.
Chu Chenmu's arms and legs were hit by arrows, and the pain was excruciating.
Wei Ruyan, who was being held by guards at the entrance of the palace, looked at Chu Chenmu who looked like a dead dog, and his heart broke.
She made the wrong choice after all! I originally thought I could entrust myself to Chu Chenmu, but in the end the plan failed.
Not only would she not be able to be Chu Chenmu's queen, she would also be executed.
Chu Zan looked at Chu Chenmu who was lying in front of the palace and said coldly: "Prince Xiang, I usually treat you well, why do you want to rebel and usurp the throne?"
Chu Chenmu raised his face, just in time to reveal the pendant hanging around his neck. He looked at Chu Zan and then at Yu Jinshu, his face full of unwillingness.
"Chu Zan, you are a man, but you have no heirs so far. You are not worthy of being the emperor. What I did today is just to revitalize the Chu family. I am the most suitable person to be the emperor."
Chu Zan sneered: "Why do you say that I have no heirs? I already have heirs."
He hugged Yu Jinshu and looked at her lovingly, "My concubine is pregnant with the dragon heir."
This sentence immediately shocked everyone present.
