Chapter 1177 Prince Li Extra If You Don't Leave Me, I Won't Abandon You
As soon as Concubine Dong finished speaking, the courtiers who were kneeling all raised their heads. They looked at each other excitedly, and the joy in their eyes could not be concealed.
Emperor Murong Zheng turned his head and looked at the still excited woman with a cold face, but his heart felt cold.
He knew that Concubine Dong Gui had no brains, and he also knew that she had been plotting against the queen, but he did not expect that she would be so stupid that in full public view, she would admit that she paid someone to murder another country's princess.
It turned out to be really her.
Murong Zheng had previously protected Concubine Dong, partly because of his selfish motives, and partly because he had always felt that although Concubine Dong was not smart and had attacked his own princes, she wanted to be the queen and wanted her son to ascend the throne. But she didn't expect that she would actually let people do the murder of other countries' princesses.
"Why do you do such a thing? This matter will not do you any good. You are really messing around." Murong Zheng couldn't hide his disappointment in his words. Concubine Dong Guifei had never seen Murong Zheng look at her with such disappointment, and she couldn't help but panic. , she stepped forward and grabbed Murong Zheng's hand, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have already said it, it was not my concubine who did it, it was the empress who did it."
"My Lady, you have just admitted that it is a thousand taels of silver." Some of the courtiers had long been dissatisfied with Concubine Dong's behavior. Seeing that she was biting the Queen, they couldn't help but remind her loudly.
"I didn't, no, that's not right. I didn't say that the thousand taels of silver were used to buy murderers and set the fire. You are trying to frame me. Your Majesty, are you going to let them bully me like this? When have you ever done this in all these years? What troubles Your Majesty is that I am not a narrow-minded person. How could I do something that harms the diplomatic relations between the two countries? "
Concubine Dong Gui was already in a panic. She reached out and grabbed Murong Zheng's hand tightly, explaining anxiously.
At this moment, she knew extremely well that the man in front of her was her only salvation.
But what she didn't know was that she would be wrong if she spoke too much. When she explained to Murong Zheng that she felt wronged, her words were tantamount to bringing her stupid past to the table for Murong Zheng to examine.
Murong Zheng was annoyed at Concubine Dong's stupidity, but when he saw the tears in her eyes, his heart softened. He clapped his hand helplessly and looked at the queen and courtiers kneeling in front of them.
"Queen, you are guilty of deceiving the king..."
"Your Majesty, I have already said that I want to depose the queen. You have decreed that the little eunuch who sent the silver is outside the palace at the moment. I said it was a flying phoenix hairpin, just to get Concubine Dong to admit it."
The queen looked up at Murong Zheng, her calm eyes concealing strong affection, but she couldn't hide the disappointment in her heart.
What kind of affection does the emperor have for Concubine Dong Gui? She made such a big mistake and he still helped her?
So, give up. I really gave up.
"You..." The Queen's words silenced the Emperor.
"The evidence witnesses are outside the palace. The emperor must be able to give the statement that the envoy from Bei'an wants. I will go back to Fengqi Palace to wait for the emperor's decree."
The queen, dressed in bright red, slowly knelt down, then stood up, turned around, straightened her back proudly, and walked out of the courtroom step by step.
Murong Zheng watched his queen leave, looking at the bright red mass, as if the sunset gradually disappeared from his sight, and his panic could no longer be controlled.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is right. You cannot depose the Queen."
"Your Majesty, the Queen is chosen by the Empress Dowager. If you want to depose the Queen, you must get the approval of the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, it will be unfilial."
"Your Majesty, our Great Zhou Dynasty has a demon concubine who is causing chaos. We must never lose such a virtuous queen again. Otherwise, our Great Zhou Dynasty will be in chaos and the Great Zhou Dynasty will be destroyed."
"..."
"..."
Seeing Murong Zheng looking into the distance, the courtiers could no longer hold back and expressed their opinions one after another.
However, Murong Zheng seemed not to have heard their words. He only looked at the red color in the distance, and remembered that on the wedding day, the queen, who was also dressed in red, said to himself with a bit of shame: "If you don't leave me in this life, I will never abandon you."
