Chapter 106 An Unexpected Surprise
Qinglan was confused. After Su Wan cured the emperor's headache, she realized that the emperor would favor Su Wan.
Su Wan was treasonous by spreading rumors about her, and wanted to use the Qi family's imperial edict to commit treason, which made her feel like she was falling into the cold.
This bitch will do whatever it takes to achieve her goal!
Emperor Jing's oral instructions were like a thunderbolt to her.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged! I am just a housewife, and you lent me ten gallbladders, but you dare not be so rebellious!" Qinglan kowtowed hard, but after a while, there was a bruise on her forehead, and she burst into tears. He said: "My daughter is now the crown prince, so why bother with this? If you are not careful, you will be beheaded. I..."
"That's enough!" Emperor Jing listened impatiently and waved his sleeves: "If I pursue you, ten of your heads won't be enough to cut off. After you go back, return the imperial edict to Su Wan." Then Emperor Jing instructed Eunuch Li: "You do this My instructions are to go and count the dowry of the Crown Princess. When Qi Min got married, both the Queen and I were rewarded. If it is confirmed that it is Qi Min’s dowry, all of it will be returned to Su Wan."
Emperor Jing paused for a moment and said with a majestic look on his face: "You have prepared an imperial edict under the guidance of the great scholar of the cabinet. The Crown Princess has poor conduct and moral deficiencies. She cannot set an example for women. I will depose the Crown Princess and demote her to the rank of Liang Yuan."
A thunderbolt came from the blue sky. Qinglan wished she could slap herself to death, but she only wished she had not gone to the palace to complain!
What doesn't she understand now?
All this is Su Wan's plan!
Going to the capital to ruin Su Mixue's reputation and labeling her a concubine caused an uproar, which was bound to reach the ears of the emperor. Su Wan bribed Xiu Qin again, went to the palace to ask the queen for help, and returned to the palace to ask her for a dowry. Everything stimulated her, forcing her to go to the palace to complain. Then Su Wan asked for the imperial edict with a clear purpose, and slandered her. She is rebellious.
This is simply the opposite of the emperor in the world. Suspiciousness is also a common problem among emperors. Regardless of whether Su Wan's words are true or false, Emperor Jing will order her to hand over the imperial edict. If she refuses, it will prove Su Wan's slander!
But she never imagined that the emperor would depose the crown princess because of Su Mixue's identity and anger!
After following one link after another, Su Wan not only got the imperial edict as she wished, but also got her dowry back without any effort!
Qinglan's heart was filled with regret and she didn't dare to say anything, just because she was afraid that Emperor Jing still had some accounts to settle.
"My wife obeys your orders." Qinglan looked gloomy and kowtowed with hatred.
However, Su Wan was not going to let it go and reminded Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty, my stepmother has filed a complaint against the emperor."
The last three words were emphasized.
The corner of Eunuch Li's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: "Retribution is inevitable, and I can't bear any loss."
He whispered: "Your Majesty, you will be punished if you file a complaint."
Emperor Jing was stunned and looked down at Su Wan. Her eyes were very beautiful, with bright black pupils, like a deer in the forest, pure, kind and harmless.
A truly innocent and harmless person would not be so bold as her in accusing her stepmother of treasonous crimes, nor would she remind him that he would be punished for complaining.
She spends every penny and even beats the drowned dog.
But they don’t have the magnanimity of General Qi and Qi Min.
Emperor Jing thought that Su Wan could relieve the headache caused by the elixir, and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Su Li, anyone who complains to the emperor will be whipped fifty times."
Qinglan was horrified: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my wife... uh uh..."
The clever chamberlain covered her mouth and dragged her down.
Su Wan quickly thanked the emperor for his kindness: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows: "If I don't give you justice, will I be unwise?"
"The emperor is a benevolent king, and he is fair in dealing with matters. He will never deny justice to his subjects!" Su Wan flattered her with ease.
Emperor Jing felt relieved after hearing this: "If your mother was half as transparent as you, she would not have died young." He showed his fatigue and waved his hand: "Just step back."
Su Wan felt awe-struck in her heart. Could there be a secret behind her mother's death?
She absentmindedly followed Eunuch Li out of the Yangxin Hall.
"It's not a good thing to be sharp." Eunuch Li stood still and said meaningfully: "You don't have to be too strong-willed. If you are too strong, you will be easily broken."
Su Wan's expression calmed down, Eunuch Li was trying to hit her. With a humble attitude, she said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your teaching." She asked tentatively, "Is my mother a strong character?"
Eunuch Li smiled and said: "Miss Qi has a straightforward temper and does not fall into the Qi family's style."
"????"
What do you mean by this, does it sound like I have lost the character of the Qi family?
Su Wan curled her lips, not very happy.
Eunuch Li laughed happily and led her to the East Palace.
When the people in the East Palace saw Eunuch Li, they did not dare to stop him. The dowry was successfully counted and brought back to Dingyuan Hou Mansion.
Those who do good things know the inside story and publicize it, and everyone praises Emperor Jing as a wise king.
No one can accept a concubine who is a concubine, especially the royal family members and high-ranking ministers. For people like them who are of noble birth, if they bow down to a concubine who is a concubine, the future queen will be A great humiliation.
Every status level is an insurmountable gap.
Su Wan returned home satisfied.
When Mo Yuan and Mo Chen saw the people in the palace carrying boxes of dowry to Su Wan's yard, their eyes changed.
The mistress actually got back the dowry so smoothly and deposed Su Mixue as the crown princess.
The two people looked at each other and both felt a sense of crisis.
The Crown Princess is deposed, will the Mistress and the Crown Prince...
Mo Chen immediately slipped away and went to report the news to his master.
Unknown to Su Wan, the two of them thought things over and entrusted Mo Yuan with a heavy responsibility: "You are responsible for transporting all the dowry to Xinghua Village."
All these dowries were brought back by General Qi from the battlefield. Su Wan planned to use the money to support the Qi family army.
"Yes!" Mo Yuan looked serious.
Su Wan looked at him strangely and looked up in the direction of the Regent's Palace.
The Regent was in power, and he could not hide the slightest movement in the palace from his ears and eyes. He just let things go. Was he not partial to Su Mixue?
Was he really kind to her?
Then why did he snatch the original owner's marriage and make Su Mixue the position of the Crown Princess?
Did he want to get the Crown Prince, but did not intend to push the Crown Prince to the throne?
Su Wan stopped thinking and could not let his subjective consciousness paralyze his judgment.
Let's wait and see.
——
Regent's Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor deposed the Crown Princess, demoted her to a good lady, and returned all the dowry to Miss Su." Luo Cheng added: "Including the imperial edict."
"Give it to her if she wants it." The Regent did not care.
Luo Cheng was stunned and said carefully, "The emperor had a headache today, and Miss Su cured him with acupuncture."
The figure of the regent was immersed in the darkness, and his expression could not be discerned.
Luo Cheng did not wait for a long time for a reply, and knew that the regent would not take action against Su Wan, so he quietly withdrew.
——
Qinglan was carried back to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion with her dying breath. She hated Su Wan in her heart, and in order to save her life, she took out the imperial edict and asked Xiujuan to deliver it to Su Wan.
Su Wan received the imperial edict, thinking that the matter of coming to the capital had been completed, which was unexpectedly smooth, and she was going to return to Xinghua Village tomorrow.
She took the silver and prepared to go shopping, buy gifts for Gu's mother, Gu Baozhu, and Gu Jingyun, and have a long talk with Old Lady Su in the evening.
Su Wan asked Xiaotao and Mo Chen to go out together.
A black-covered green cloth carriage was parked at the gate of the mansion.
Suddenly, the car window curtain opened, revealing a beautiful face, with a pair of dark eyes staring at her.
