Wei Ziyao couldn't be blamed for diverting the trouble to Qi Mingzhe at this time. Qi Mingzhe was indeed incompetent.
"Your Majesty, you said that you were surprised by Prince Yin's background. Indeed … everyone will be surprised. But we can't tell what happened back then. Prince Yin can't choose his background. But it's a fact that Prince Chen didn't do a good job this time. He started to prepare more than a month in advance and consumed so much manpower and material resources. On the eve of the ceremony, he even vowed to make sure that everything would be foolproof. But he let an old man stagger to the high platform. Such a big loophole …"
Wei Ziyao stopped at this point. She would just turn the page and leave it at that.
But the Empress was not stupid and didn't want to let it go.
"Lao Wu did neglect his duty, but who knows if this matter was deliberately arranged by someone who felt wronged? Ziyuan became the Imperial Noble Consort, which should make someone feel bad. Am I right? Consort Duan! "
"Your Majesty, just say what you want to say. Why do you have to scold someone indirectly in the future?" Consort Duan raised her head and looked at the Empress.
Although Consort Duan had a strong character, she had never had any conflicts with the people in the imperial harem. Even if the Empress bullied her, she would not fight back.
This was the first time that she said such harsh words.
"Well, since Consort Duan asked me to say it directly, then I won't beat around the bush. At the ceremony, the old lady's meaning was very obvious. She said that you would rather not have children than raise Prince Yin. But the old people in the imperial harem all know that it's not that you don't want to have children, but that you don't have the ability to have children. In my opinion, you are jealous of Ziyuan's child, so you snatched her child in order to consolidate your position. No wonder! "
Speaking of this, the Empress looked like she suddenly understood.
"No wonder, no wonder you lied that you were pregnant and refused to see anyone. After this child was born, you refused to let anyone touch him. It turns out that you have a guilty conscience! I was puzzled at that time. You hurt your lower abdomen that year, and even the imperial doctor said that you didn't have the ability to have children. How did you give birth to a son? So … you used such underhanded means to steal someone else's child! "
Wei Ziyao could tell that Ki Chien-chul was not Consort Duan's child. Some of the elders in the palace probably already knew about it.
She just didn't dare to say much. Now that there was a breakthrough and the truth was exposed, these people started to shamelessly attack her.
"Enough!" At this time, the Emperor, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"Princess Yin's words are reasonable. The root of this matter is Old Fifth's incompetence. Empress, if you have the time to sow discord, why don't you discipline your son? Something like that just happened to Old Fourth, and now Old Fifth has lost so much face! To think that you are the mother of the nation and the empress! If she couldn't even discipline her own son, how could she talk about being the mother of the world? Should I reconsider your position? "
The Northern Wen Emperor's words were quite harsh.
He had already hinted that he intended to abolish the Empress. This …
As expected, the Empress panicked and knelt down in front of the hall.
"Your Majesty, chenqie has not taught her children well, chenqie knows that chenqie is guilty. Today, chenqie only said these things to protest against injustice for Imperial Gui Fei, there is no other meaning. After all, chenqie has been pregnant for ten months and gave birth to two princes. Chenqie knows how difficult it is to be pregnant and can understand the pain of being separated from one's flesh and blood. How could I have expected that I would say too much? It is chenqie's fault. Your Majesty, please calm down.
Although the Empress panicked, at least she didn't lose her composure in front of the hall. She still had her dignity.
Her words could be considered watertight.
"Enough, this has nothing to do with you. You don't need to get involved. Leave first."
The Emperor waved his hand in disgust. The Empress got up and glared at Wei Ziyao, who was standing on the side.
Wei Ziyao knew that the Empress hated her to the core now because she had ruined too many of her good deeds.
The Empress waved her hand and left. The Emperor looked at Consort Duan, who took off her hairpin and apologized.
"Get up. This matter has nothing to do with you."
