Chapter 1176: Prince Li’s Extra: Concubine Dong Takes the Bait

The Feifeng hairpin was not stolen, so Concubine Dong's words just now were slandering the queen.

The people in the queen's palace had no contact with Concubine Dong, so after the fire, the queen had no chance to steal the Feifeng hairpin.

No one in the queen's palace left the palace, and even if someone in the queen's palace stole the Feifeng hairpin, they did not have the power to take it out.

Concubine Dong's accusations were full of loopholes, and now the queen laid out the facts one by one, blocking all her accusations.

The court officials obviously did not expect the queen to say such words, but after a moment of stunnedness, the excitement on their faces could no longer be concealed.

Murong Zheng and Concubine Dong were stunned. They both looked at the queen blankly. Obviously, they did not expect the queen to say such words.

"Queen, I will be very disappointed if you do this." Murong Zheng finally spoke, and there was indeed disappointment in his eyes, but his face was more angry than disappointment.

He did not expect that his queen would stand on the opposite side of him at such a time.

"Your Majesty, you have disappointed me for thirteen years. I respect you and protect you. I am tired. If Your Majesty is disappointed in me, please depose me."

The Queen's words were full of deep fatigue.

Murong Zheng's heart tightened, but he suddenly shouted loudly: "Do you think I dare not?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Queen smiled indifferently and bowed her head.

Murong Zheng could no longer see the Queen's face, but he could no longer control the panic in his heart.

"Your Majesty, please fulfill the Queen's wish. The Queen's wish has indeed been tired over the years." Concubine Dong has never been able to read people's expressions, but she was ecstatic when she heard the Queen say this.

Murong Zheng turned his head to look at Concubine Dong. Concubine Dong saw Murong Zheng's face, but she dared not speak again.

His face seemed to be frozen, and when he looked at Concubine Dong, there was no friendship anymore.

"Your Majesty, the Queen just told the truth. If Your Majesty wants to depose the Queen, then please depose me as well."

"Your Majesty, the Queen did nothing wrong."

"Your Majesty, the Queen has worked diligently over the years to stabilize the harem, saving Your Majesty a lot of worries. There is no such a virtuous person in the harem."

"What are you talking about, old man, this palace..." Seeing all the ministers kneeling on the ground to plead for the Queen, Concubine Dong was already furious. When she heard an old minister say such words, she felt that this person was slapping her in the face, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Your Majesty, I have experienced three dynasties, and the late emperor has never reprimanded me. Where does a favorite concubine get the courage to say such words to me?"

Lord Xu spoke, and his words were so powerful that Murong Zheng felt guilty.

"Emperor of the Great Zhou, you called the Queen here to make her confess her guilt, but now the Queen is not guilty."

"The Queen's dethronement is your family affair. I just want to find the real murderer who harmed our princess."

Qu Jingze came to the court not to see the family affairs of the Emperor and the Queen of the Great Zhou, but for a purpose.

"Your Majesty, the reason why I came late is because I found the real murderer. He is outside the palace. Please allow me to bring the person who took the flying phoenix hairpin out of the palace."

The Queen looked up again, looked at Murong Zheng and Concubine Dong, and spoke slowly.

"Queen, you..." Murong Zheng was surprised by the Queen's attitude, but he didn't expect that the Queen would be like the court officials and want to get rid of Concubine Dong.

It was originally a knife in his hand, but it became a sword against himself. This feeling is really not good at all.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible, impossible, she is lying, I gave that man a thousand taels of silver, not a flying phoenix hairpin, the Queen is slandering me."

After hearing what the Queen said, Concubine Dong suddenly felt happy again in her heart. She felt that the Queen was seeking death, and the crime of deceiving the emperor was unforgivable, but she forgot that the words she spoke would make her unforgivable.
