Chapter 1245: To Me, It’s Not Worth Mentioning
The Empress Dowager was already full of anger, and when she heard the emperor's words, she became even more angry.
"Even if Ran'er did something wrong, she already knew it was wrong. Why can't the Queen forgive her for once? She would do such a sinister and shameless thing, ruining Ran'er's reputation and harming her for the rest of her life!"
"Mother, my son can't bear to hear what you say."
Zhao Shu said, "Why should someone who has done something wrong ask for forgiveness? It is the wish of the victim to not forgive. The Queen is a good person. If she died, would the Queen Mother have the nerve to ask others to forgive Jiang Ran?"
Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said, "What the little emperor said makes sense."
"What nonsense are you talking about? If the Queen dies, the Ai family will not come!" The Queen Mother slapped the table, "This Gu Yundai is selfish, narrow-minded, vengeful, and has no trace of the dignity of a mother! She You don’t deserve this position at all!”
Zhao Yuanjing said calmly: "Who do you think is worthy of this position?"
"No matter who you are, they are better than Gu Yundai."
Zhao Yuanjing said lightly: "What does the imperial grandmother mean by asking me to depose the queen? How about deposing Yan'er and the two princesses as well?"
"..." The Empress Dowager was speechless.
Apart from anything else, except for the merit of giving birth to the emperor's only heir, unless Yun Dai committed some serious crime of rebellion, then no one could depose her.
The Empress Dowager was silent for a moment and said: "The Ai family is not asking you to dethrone her as queen. They just want the emperor to control her and not give her too much power. This is not a good thing."
Zhao Yuanjing knew that this was the real reason why the Empress Dowager came here to get angry.
Although the harem is nominally in charge of the queen and concubines, in fact, the real power is always in the hands of the empress dowager.
Over the past year, Zhao Yuanjing has overtly and covertly removed all her influence from the 24th Bureau and asked Yun Dai to promote new people. Slowly eroding the power of the Empress Dowager, leaving the twenty-fourth game in Yun Dai's hands.
This is where the Empress Dowager is really angry.
Even during the reign of the late emperor, he never touched the things in her hands.
However, her grandson, who was brought up by her, took control of the former dynasty and seized the power of the harem only a year after he ascended the throne.
How could the Empress Dowager endure this?
Although she doesn't care about her grandson, she doesn't have a good attitude toward her grandson-in-law.
She came here to make a fuss, just to establish the fact that Yun Dai was immoral and unworthy of being a queen managing the harem, and to regain control of the 24th Bureau.
Of course Zhao Yuanjing would not let her go.
He sat up straight and said, "Grandma Huang, calm down, I know about this."
The Empress Dowager looked at him, waiting for his next words.
However, no.
She found it unbelievable: "The Ai family has been talking for a long time, did the emperor hear it?"
"I heard it." Zhao Yuanjing said with a smile, "Dai'er is the queen, and it is natural for her to punish a deposed concubine. Besides, she has never gone too far. Everything written on the note is also true. It's the truth, even if she doesn't write it. Can these things be concealed? Even though Kyoto is far away from Lanling, it is not an airtight wall. If you want to hide it, the secret will be revealed sooner or later."
"So, the queen did the right thing?"
"I just think that there is no need for the Imperial Grandmother to get so angry over such a trivial matter. Don't get so angry that you're not worth it."
"Such a small thing?"
"To me, it's not worth mentioning."
