The Princess Wei Yang (106+)

Chapter 159 - Reshuffle - Part 1

The Empress thought that her son was still in danger, so she had to hide her fear and said angrily: "Your Majesty, if you listen to the slander and hurt the Crown Prince, you will definitely regret it! Only he is the most filial son, the others are all white-eyed wolves, trying to usurp your throne!"

The Emperor sneered and said: "Most filial son? He even climbed onto Beauty Zhang's bed. He is really filial!" Even the Emperor's power and diginity were ignored by him. Isn't that filial? If Beauty Zhang were pregnant, is the child his son or grandson? When he thought of this, his face became extremely embarrassed, as if he was on the verge of collapse.

Everyone hurriedly knelt down and did not dare to listen anymore, including Consort Lian and Li Wei Yang. But this matter is no longer a secret today. The Emperor could not kill everyone.

The Empress disagreed and blurted out: "The prince was framed! How could he fall in love with that little bitch!"

The Emperor's blood surged and his face became swollen. He had not expressed such anger in many years. He stared at the Empress with cold eyes and said: "It's my fault. I have indulged you mother and son too much over the years, causing you to become so shameless and disrespectful!"

The Empress was his official wife. No matter what she had done, the Emperor had never humiliated her in public like this. She was currently ill and particularly fragile. She couldn't help but shed tears when she heard this, but her tone became even stronger: "I want to be honorable and decent as a Empress, but how can I?! You don't go to other people's palaces for a year and a half. Except for that bitch pretending to be a fairy, who have you really pampered? Your Majesty said that we have no dignity. If you don't want to see us mother and son, just kill us! You will be clean as well!"

Hearing this, Li Wei Yang lowered his eyes and smiled.

At this moment, Tuoba Zhen arrived in a hurry. He knelt down on the ground with a plop, grabbed the Emperor's dragon robe, and begged: "Father! Please think again! The Crown Prince must have been framed by someone, and the Empress mother only spoke out of anger. Please consider her hard work over the years and forgive her sins!" As he spoke, he kowtowed to the ground.

With such a sincere look, if others didn't know it, they might really think that Tuoba was extremely filial! Li Wei Yang sneered, the other party still needs the Empress and the Crown Prince, so he is the one who least wants anything to happen to these two people.

Consort Lian lowered her head and couldn't help but think of the reason why Li Wei Yang ordered her to create such an incident at the palace. She had only one purpose, to make the matter bigger! Indeed, if the Emperor was the only one to discover the affair between Beauty Zhang and the Crown Prince, he would just kill Beauty Zhang. Although the Emperor had long wanted to depose the prince, he had been hesitant. But now that everyone knew what happened, if the Emperor wanted to forgive the Crown Prince, he would become the laughingstock of the world! Imperial power is inviolable. No matter whether you are a prince who is one step away from the dragon throne or not, as long as you have not sat on the throne of the Emperor for a day, you must clearly understand your identity and abide by your duties!

Tuoba Zhen tried his best to signal the Empress, trying to calm her down, but he didn't know that the Empress had completely lost her calm at this moment, or that when she was scolded by the Emperor in public, she was no longer the dignified and noble Empress she usually was. She was being supported by someone, and she was clearly trembling. Her flushed face suddenly turned green and white, which was very ugly. There were tears in her eyes, but she refused to let them flow out. She gritted her teeth and said, "You don't have to beg him. In his heart, we mother and son are nothing anymore!"

The Emperor's patience had reached its limit. He gasped and pointed at the Empress, saying: "You... okay... call someone here! Call everyone from the Ministry of Rites to come! I have decreed that I will depose this shrew!"
