"Your Majesty, please wait!" Just as the Entertainment Emperor was about to execute the Empress, Xiangxue rushed over with Chen Jiu.
"Jiu 'er, you're not dead …" Ji Meili's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Jiu.
"That's right, Empress. Are you disappointed that I'm not dead?" Chen Jiu no longer hid his disgust and said, "Empress, you're so cruel. I have no grudge against you, but you want to kill me!"
"Jiu 'er, you have no grudge against me, but your mother took away the thing I loved the most. What grudge do I have against her?" Ji Meili was furious and full of dissatisfaction.
"Empress, I didn't mean to compete with you for the throne, but I …" Xiangxue was in a difficult position. She didn't want to be the Empress, but she was chosen to enter the palace. What could she do?
"Enough, I wanted to marry Xiangxue. If you have grudges, why don't you target me?" The Entertainment Emperor couldn't stand it anymore.
"Since you don't want me, why don't you abolish me? Are you afraid that people will say you're ungrateful? But you went back on your words. Aren't you afraid that people will criticize you? "Ji Meili questioned the Entertainment Emperor.
"I …" The Entertainment Emperor was speechless and angry, "You're unreasonable. You're a crazy woman now!"
"Haha, am I crazy? I'm crazy because of you. Entertainment Emperor, you should know how I, Ji Meili, have treated you. But do you know how you've treated me? "Ji Meili roared with laughter.
"Other than marrying a few more wives, I've already done all I can for you, okay? I've given you the position of Empress that all women in the world want. Are you still not satisfied? "The Entertainment Emperor retorted.
"But I want you!" Ji Meili looked straight at the Entertainment Emperor and said firmly.
"This …" The Entertainment Emperor immediately felt ashamed, "I'm sorry, Meili. I did do this, but you shouldn't be so cruel to Jiu 'er!"
"Yes, Jiu 'er is innocent. I shouldn't be so cruel to him. But other than this, what else can I do? Can I make you change your mind? You can count how many times you've come to see me over the years. "Ji Meili sighed with heartache, completely disheartened.
"It's not that I didn't want to come back then, but I married Xiangxue and the others. When I came here, you made a fuss with me, so I didn't want to come!" The Entertainment Emperor also felt wronged.
"If you didn't marry them, would I have argued with you?" Ji Meili accused.
"As an emperor, which emperor doesn't have a harem? Moreover, you haven't given birth to a son for me, so how can I not marry you?" The Entertainment Emperor said matter-of-factly.
"So you're saying that it's my fault? If you really think so, then just kill me! " Ji Meili suddenly laughed contemptuously. This was not only a contempt for her own life, but also a mockery of the Entertainment King.
"Don't think that I won't dare. You murdered my prince. You deserve to be hacked to pieces!" The Entertainment Emperor said through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty, please don't. You were the one at fault in the first place. You mustn't make another mistake!" Xiangxue couldn't bear it and tried to persuade him again.
"Concubine Xue, why are you saying that I'm wrong too!" The Entertainment Emperor was a little unhappy.
"Father, this is indeed your fault!" Chen Jiu was a little mischievous. He actually blamed the Entertainment Emperor.
"What? Jiu 'er, what do you know? Don't make a fuss here! "The Entertainment Emperor glared at Chen Jiu and threatened him.
"Father, as a man, there's nothing wrong with you wanting to have three wives and four concubines. What's wrong is that you didn't ask for Her Majesty's permission to have concubines. This is a great insult to her, do you know?" Chen Jiu said righteously.
"I've told her about this before, but she never agreed. Do you know?" The Entertainment Emperor rolled his eyes.
"Then you definitely didn't say it properly. As long as you beg properly, Her Majesty will definitely agree to it after weighing the pros and cons!" Chen Jiu said with great certainty.
"What a joke, Meili, will you agree?" The Entertainment Emperor couldn't help but look at the Empress as he sneered.
"I didn't expect that the one who understands me the most is Jiu 'er, the one I want to kill the most. God, is this retribution?" Ji Meili smiled miserably, full of helplessness.
"What? You'll really agree? " The Entertainment Emperor couldn't help but suspect, "You're not saying this to save your life, are you?"
"Your Majesty, murdering the Crown Prince is a great crime. You should just push me out and execute me!" Ji Meili only wanted to die in peace.
"No, Your Majesty. Considering that you're husband and wife, and Jiu 'er is fine, please spare her life!" Xiangxue pleaded again.
"I can spare her the death penalty, but she can't escape punishment. My Long Teng can't die in vain!" The Entertainment Emperor then ordered, "From now on, Ji Meili will be removed from the position of Empress and sent to Xiantai Mountain to become a nun. Let her reflect on it!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing Her Majesty!" Chen Jiu thanked, but he didn't plead for mercy. Because although he sympathized with Ji Meili's experience, it was an indisputable fact that she murdered him and his mother. For such a woman, he was already benevolent enough to not kill her. How could he let her live freely?
The Entertainment Emperor was wrong, but only he was wrong. Ji Meili was angry at him and his mother because of other people's mistakes. That was her own fault!
"Someone come, drag Ji Meili out!" The Entertainment Emperor majestically and ruthlessly purged the Phoenix Palace. Then he deliberately looked at Xiangxue, "Xue Fei, you gave birth to my son. You should sit on the position of Empress and mother of the world!"
"Your Majesty, you can't … Mother, it's a waste not to sit. In the future, with your son here, no one will dare to touch you!" Xiangxue wanted to refuse, but she couldn't resist Chen Jiu's coaxing and pestering. In the end, she agreed.
The Phoenix Palace changed owners and the Empress changed. This may not be a big deal for the world's commoners, but for the harem, it was equivalent to a new Emperor ascending the throne. The whole palace was shocked!
After the official coronation ceremony, Xiangxue wore a Phoenix crown on her head and a red robe on her body. It could be said that she was justified.
"Empress, we are guilty …" The next day, when the Entertainment Emperor left, nearly a hundred dignified and noble concubines came to beg for forgiveness. What's going on?
"Sisters, why are you doing this?" Xiangxue was a little confused for a moment.
"Empress, do you remember when you were three months pregnant, we invited you to admire the flowers?" A concubine reminded.
"That time … Did you do it on purpose?" Xiangxue's face suddenly changed. How could she forget that accident!
"Empress, please forgive us. We didn't do it on purpose. Because of the sudden collapse of the rockery, we sisters were also injured. If we knew that the rock would hit your stomach, we would have blocked it for you even if we died!" The concubines said with a face full of self-blame.
"Oh, since it was just an accident, why are you still talking about it?" Xiangxue breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't mean to blame them.
"No matter what, we asked you to go. After all these years, we owe you an apology!" The concubines took the initiative to ask for forgiveness. Weren't they worried that Xiangxue would punish them?
