own life."That meaning is already very clear, she won't live with An Xuetang.Since you insist, An Xuetang simply nodded. "Since you insist so much, I won't say anything."An Xuetang took out some silv...To please the emperor, the empress had even proactively drunk abortion medicine over these years. She did this because she knew the emperor didn't want the mistress of the six palaces to give birth to a prince and join the battle for the throne.

The empress thought to herself that she had been living her life according to the emperor's wishes for all these years. The emperor was quite pleased with her as his empress, and she couldn't believe he would want to depose her at this point.

After the emperor said this, she began to feel flustered. From the emperor's words, it seemed he truly did have thoughts of deposing her.

And at this moment, the emperor seemed to only see the lowly woman before him.

After coming to her senses, the Empress instantly welled up with tears, wanting to rush to the bedside and whisper sweet nothings to the Emperor. At the very least, she couldn't let him get so angry right now that he would utter words like "depose the Empress."

Although the Empress was thinking about appeasing the Emperor first, Zhi'er didn't give the Empress a chance at all.

As soon as the Empress approached the bedside, Zhi'er narrowed her dangerous eyes and without hesitation pushed the Empress back again.

Zhi'er's push was forceful. The Empress, who was already delicate in nature, was directly pushed to the ground by Zhi'er.

Logically speaking, for a concubine to dare to harm the empress in such a way, even if it wasn't a capital offense, she would have to pay the corresponding price.

Here, a sovereign stood idly by, allowing a mere concubine to assault the empress.

Everyone watching the emperor's attitude obviously guessed something, so no one dared to breathe.

Everyone was trying their best to lower their presence, the few imperial physicians kneeling on the side with their heads bowed to the ground, not daring to glance up even once, fearing that if they saw something they shouldn't, they would lose their lives.

At this moment, after being pushed down by Zhi'er, the empress burst into tears. She looked at the emperor with a pitiful expression, hoping he would give her justice.

Unfortunately, the emperor's eyes could only hold Chi'er at this moment. After Chi'er pushed down the empress, he reached out to Chi'er and spoke in an extremely gentle voice, "My beloved, please help me up."

Zhi'er obediently walked to the bed and reached out to help the emperor down.

Not only that, but she also personally bent down and put shoes on the emperor herself.

Delighted by Chi'er's service, the emperor felt a surge of joy in his heart. After putting on his shoes, he pulled Chi'er up and gently patted her arm affectionately, "My beloved, you must be tired. In the future, let the palace maids handle such chores. You needn't do it yourself."

Zhi'er curled her lips into a smile, her voice as sweet as honey, "To be able to do something for Your Majesty, this concubine is delighted, not feeling tired at all."

The Empress: "..."

The emperor and Zhi'er flirted openly and brazenly, infuriating the empress who sat beside them looking dejected.

The Empress's blood-red eyes were fixed on the Emperor and Zhi'er, gritting her teeth, wishing she could personally kill this vile woman, Zhi'er.

Looking at this woman's pretentious act, she couldn't swallow her anger.

But at this moment, the emperor's heart and eyes could only hold this woman. The empress, having suffered a loss, realized the danger of her situation.

If she continues to vie for superiority with Chi'er, that vile woman, at this critical juncture, the emperor, whose heart is already biased and beyond redemption, would undoubtedly side with the vile woman and grow even more disgusted with her.

Thinking of this, the Empress had to forcibly suppress the anger in her heart. She forced herself to put away the hatred on her face, leaving only helplessness and grievance on her expression.

After the emperor and Chi'er whispered sweet nothings to each other, as if oblivious to anyone else, Chi'er smiled at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please don't tease me. The Empress is still crying so miserably. Although I don't know why the Empress is crying, if she continues to cry like this, someone might think she is mourning for you."

Everyone: "!"

For an emperor, words like "dead or alive" were especially sensitive, so when Zhi'er said this, the emperor's face immediately darkened.

His eyes were filled with fury, he glared menacingly at the sobbing Empress, and roared, "What are you crying for I'm not dead yet! Who are you mourning for Are you cursing me in your heart, hoping I die sooner"

The Empress could not be held responsible for this crime, so she immediately shook her head and denied it, saying, "No, no, Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. I meant no such thing."

"You're crying for no reason! And...explain yourself clearly! Why did I faint Did you do something in this palace"

With such a large hat coming down, the Queen's entire body stiffened. She hurriedly knelt with both knees, "Your Majesty sees clearly, Your servant... Your servant wouldn't possibly have any thoughts of harming Your Majesty Please don't fall for this wretch's scheme. This wretch clearly wants to slander me, your servant..."

Before the Empress could finish her words, the Emperor had already lost his patience. He pointed at her and roared, "Be silent!"

After roaring out this sentence, the emperor suddenly turned to the eunuch beside him and coldly said, "Pass down my imperial edict: The Hu family has received the grace of heaven and is honored as empress. However, she takes advantage of her favor and becomes arrogant, indulging in self-will and losing the virtue of a woman. She is unfit to govern the inner palace. From now on..."

The emperor's words made everyone present gasp and their scalp tingle uncontrollably.

The Emperor... this is clearly going to depose the Empress right here!

But the emperor's words were cut short, for suddenly an unexpected guest appeared from Kunning Palace - it was the Fourth Prince, Mo Yunze.

Mo Yunze stormed in with a sullen expression, accompanied by two powerful guards.

The moment she saw Mo Yunze, Zhi'er's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent, and her hand clenched into a fist at her side.

So close!

She was so close to success!

The moment the Empress saw Mo Yunze, a glimmer of hope sparked in her eyes.

Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Mo Yunze, her voice trembling with urgency, "Huang'er, you... how did you come here"

The Empress has no children, and over the years, several princes in the capital have all wanted to curry favor with her.

But the Empress knew that the Emperor disliked her involvement in these matters, so she never took sides and only focused on protecting her own territory, ensuring that the Hu family prospered and allowing her only daughter to live a carefree life, doing whatever she pleased.

But at this moment, Mo Yunze's appearance was like a life-saving straw for the Empress.

She then had to lower her noble head and speak sweetly to Mo Yunze.

That "Huang'er" was called so affectionately, she thought Mo Yunze should understand her meaning.

As long as she can be saved from danger today, she will definitely stand on Mo Yunze's side tomorrow and lend him a helping hand when necessary.

She had always wanted to stay out of this mess, but the emperor's attitude today left her completely cold.

The emperor has been blinded by this vile woman, Chi'er, and will do anything she asks.

Even for a matter as significant as being deposed, he could be so impulsive as to make a decision on the spot. as the throne was passed to him, he wouldn't kill him.But that man would rather die than let him be emperor. Why is thatWhy can't he be emperorHe considered himself no worse than anyone else, so why...
