TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 215 Yixiu 84

"I don't agree."

"Empress Mother, please take a look at this. The Empress drugged Concubine Wan, causing her to nearly die during childbirth. Even more despicable is that she actually reached out to Shoukang Palace and used you to do this."

The empress dowager took a breath, her eyes wandered for a moment, and finally, under the emperor's gaze, she reluctantly picked up the confession on the table.

The hand holding the confession was still shaking slightly as she flipped through the pages one by one.

She tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes and sighed after a long while. Her straight back bent a little and she looked at the emperor pleadingly.

"I am sorry for her. It's all my fault that I couldn't stop you. The promised legitimate wife has become her sister. It's only right for her to blame me."

"Emperor, please consider this as my plea to you. The Empress cannot be deposed."

"This time, Concubine Wan and her daughter are safe. You should compensate her more."

The emperor asked sullenly, "What if the queen had also attacked Chun Yuan? Should I have just pretended nothing happened?"

"No, the Queen would never do such a thing. Someone must have framed her. Chun Yuan's health is not good..."

Before she could finish, the emperor interrupted loudly, "Madam, the evidence is irrefutable and she cannot deny it."

The emperor came here just to inform the empress dowager, and he didn't expect to get her support.

The mother and son sat opposite each other in silence. It was unknown how long it took before the empress dowager slowly spoke.

"Never mind. I am too old to take care of your affairs. Emperor, I only ask that you spare her life for all her years of hard work."

The empress dowager in front of him seemed to have aged several years in an instant, and the emperor could not bear to refuse her at this time.

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager."

After the emperor finished speaking, he stood up and strode towards Jingren Palace. He couldn't wait to ask the queen why she attacked her own sister?

After he walked away, Zhuxi reappeared.

There was only a faint smile on the Queen Mother's face, and there was no trace of sadness or weakness.

"Queen Mother, everything has been arranged."

The empress dowager nodded slightly. They were all Ulanara's men. Whose orders were they following? No one could tell.

Once the empress was deposed, Ulanara should also take a portion of the things in her hands. She was acting in the name of dowry, so it was impossible for all of it to go to the emperor.

If the Fourteenth Prince wants to accomplish anything, he will inevitably need the support of other clan members and ministers.

This money came at the right time.

Yixiu knew the Queen Mother's plan as early as when Su Peisheng collected evidence.

She looked slowly at the evidence sent by Jixiang and the palace maid who was tied up beside her.

Qi Yuebin was actually secretly watching the Queen Mother's every move. What was this? An invitation to cooperate?

Yixiu originally didn't want to argue with the emperor about right and wrong. If the other party insisted on being serious, she would come clean. The emperor still had to deal with state affairs until Wen Yi grew up.

"Jianqiu, let the palace servants go down. If the emperor comes, let him in."

Jianqiu hesitated and said, "My Lady, I will stay here with you."

Her master was a weak woman, and not to mention being framed by the empress dowager, if the emperor took action in a fit of rage, she would be there to stop him.

"No need, the emperor will be fine, don't worry."

Yixiu didn't know how she gave them this illusion. Did she look like someone who was easy to bully?

The emperor angrily surrounded Jingren Palace with his guards, but he stopped when he saw the empty palace.

Suddenly I felt something was wrong, so I looked back and there didn't seem to be anything unusual.

When he turned around, he saw Jianqiu already waiting beside him, "Your Majesty, the Empress has been waiting for you inside for a long time."

"Huh, you guys are really well-informed."

The door was kicked open with a bang and the emperor strode in.

Su Peisheng quickly stepped forward to close the door, then turned around and looked at Jianqiu in surprise. Her life was in danger, yet she could still remain so calm. Could it be that the Queen had some other tricks up her sleeve?

He quickly shook his head and put aside such a ridiculous idea.

One is Empress Chunyuan, whom the emperor has loved for many years, and the other is Concubine Wan, who is highly favored. Even if the truth is revealed, the emperor will not let them go easily.

As soon as the emperor entered the room, he saw Yi Zhengxing sitting there reading a book. He only raised his head slightly when he heard the noise.

"sit down."

The emperor calmed himself down and walked over to sit next to Yixiu. "The Queen is really in a good mood. She can still concentrate on reading at this time?"

"if not?"

"Don't you feel guilty at all, Queen? Were you responsible for Concubine Wan's postpartum bleeding? How could you be so cruel!"

Throwing the evidence on the table, the emperor stared at Yixiu, wanting to see her panic and guilt.

Unexpectedly, Yixiu just picked it up, looked at it for a few seconds, and put it down again.

"You are an emperor after all, how could you be fooled by others?"

The emperor took the thing that Yixiu pushed over and took a look at it. His eyes suddenly widened. The families of those witnesses had been controlled, and the people who did these things were the empress dowager's mother's family.

He read every word, his sharp eyes looking as if he wanted to burn through the thing in his hand.

No... I can't believe it, I can't believe anything. The evidence from both sides may be false, and they... are fooling themselves.

It doesn't matter what the truth is, he just needs the evidence to be true.

As for the Queen Mother, he will slowly find out in the future.

The emperor calmed down after realizing this. It had been a long time since he felt like fighting with others.

His enemies in the past were his father and brothers, and now they are his mother, wives and concubines. A group of people who depend on him for their livelihood actually want to influence his thoughts. It’s a pipe dream.

It doesn’t matter, the final winner will definitely be him, and only him.

"Queen, there's no need to quibble. The evidence is irrefutable. Do you think you're innocent? What reason does the Queen Dowager have to attack Concubine Wan?"

"You don't admit this? What about Chunyuan? Could it be that the Queen Mother was responsible for her and her child's death?"

Facing the emperor's ridicule, Yixiu nodded calmly, "It's me, I admit it."

The emperor didn't expect Yixiu to admit it so easily. "Why? She's your biological sister. How can you be so vicious?"

"It was me who broke the promise. It was me who loved her and insisted on marrying her. Why don't you hate me?"

Yixiu looked at the emperor coldly in his incompetence and rage.

"Stop flattering yourself. How could I not hate you?"

"Of course, all of this is your fault. You were blinded by lust and fell for her, even though you were already engaged. You also used this to smear yourself in front of the late emperor, making others think that you only loved beautiful women and had no interest in competing for the throne."

"You stole someone else's fiancée, but in the end, she was the one who bore the blame."

"You are the one who only listens to one side and doesn't care about Honghui at all. Only the people in the palace dare to neglect us mother and son like this."
