Comprehensive film and television: Extreme reversal and inevitable death

Yixiu's wish was to become the sole empress dowager, so of course she would not allow the fifth prince Hongzhou, whose biological mother was still alive, to ascend the throne.

But at the same time, she knew very well in her heart that the emperor had completely eliminated the possibility of Hongshi ascending to the throne.

Therefore, she made this move just to disrupt the current chaotic court situation and to put some psychological pressure on the Fourth Prince Hongli, who had lost his mother, the favored concubine.

There was deafening crying in front of the Yongshou Palace. Although the emperor's edict was vague, everyone knew that Concubine Xi was gone, and the world in the harem was about to change again.

Blinking her eyes, Yixiu stood up and went to the small kitchen to watch the cook making old duck soup. Before the emperor left, he said that he would come over to have dinner together in the evening. When the time came, she decided to give him a little shock of "requesting to be deposed as empress."

Zhen Huan died in an inglorious way, Imperial Noble Consort Duan was a sickly woman who couldn't handle big occasions, and Imperial Noble Consort Jing was always timid and cowardly.

In addition, the political situation is unstable now, and the emperor actually does not have the courage to do something like deposing the queen at this time.

He really needed Yixiu to stand up and help him stabilize the situation at this moment.

Because of this, Yixiu had to put on such a drama to show her repentance over the past few days and to prove how much influence the emperor had on her.

She took off the elaborate phoenix-headed dress, put on simple everyday clothes, and then applied another layer of sickness makeup, half covering her face to ensure that the emperor could see that she was trying to hide her haggardness.

After doing all this, Yixiu quietly waited for the night to come.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

That night, after reviewing the memorials, the emperor recalled the promise he made during the day. Although he felt tired, he still came to Jingren Palace with energy.

Although the master of Jingren Palace was still under house arrest, anyone with eyes could see the unusual atmosphere between the emperor and the empress. Therefore, compared with a few days ago, the Jingren Palace no longer had that solemn and cold feeling.

Due to the ban, Yixiu could only welcome the emperor inside the palace gate.

"Why are you wearing such thin clothes, Queen? You are the mother of the country, so you should take care of yourself."

The emperor got off the sedan chair and saw that Yixiu was wearing thin clothes. He quickened his pace, walked forward, took Yixiu's hand, and the two of them walked into the hall together.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. But I was always thinking about seeing Your Majesty at first sight, so I neglected it for a moment."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but pat Yixiu's hand gently.

At this time, there was no one else constantly reminding him of Yixiu's past cruelty to babies, and the complacent emperor could not help but immerse himself in the empress's extremely strong love for him.

The emperor couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Since Shilan left, in this cold palace, perhaps only the queen could still love him so deeply.

After the couple finished their dinner, the emperor was feeling a little sleepy. Suddenly he saw the empress dismiss all the servants, and his brows furrowed.

His inappropriate suspicion jumped out again.

"Does the Queen have anything to say to me?"

"Your Majesty, allow me to report."

Yixiu stood up, lifted her skirt and knelt down. She saw the emperor paused as he twisted the Eighteen Seeds with his fingertips, but in the end he did not reach out his hand to her.

"I have been the Empress for several years, but there has been no cry of babies in the harem, which has caused the concubines to be restless and unable to settle down. This is truly my fault."

Having said this, Yixiu lowered her head and kowtowed deeply to the emperor.

The emperor might have let the matter of her killing Chun Yuan pass, but the evidence of her previous murder of the royal heir was already solid. If she didn't make things clear now, after this unstable period, it would become another huge thorn in the side between her and the emperor.

Therefore, she must now retreat and confess her crimes!

"Now Hui'er has a son to rely on, and I have given up my obsession. Now that things have come to this, I no longer have the face to be the queen, and I have no face to face the emperor!

Therefore, I am here today to plead my case with you, Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty will have mercy on me and allow me to be deposed as the Empress. From now on, I will live in seclusion in the Buddhist temple. For the rest of my life, I only hope to chant sutras and pray for Your Majesty. I have no other wish!"

Her words were so sincere that even the emperor felt that the queen had really thought it through this time.

After a brief hesitation, seeing that Yixiu was still kneeling and confessing her guilt without moving, the emperor stood up and personally helped her up.

He had just deposed Concubine Xi and killed the entire Zhen family.

If a queen who holds a more crucial position were to be deposed at this moment, the government would be in complete chaos.

Besides, the mistakes made by the queen were all secrets of the royal family and could not be made public to outsiders. If the court officials questioned her, the emperor would not even have a word to refute.

Thinking of this, the emperor calmed down.

The queen was indeed wrong, but he could give her another chance. At worst, he could wait until the political situation stabilized and then see what happened tomorrow to decide whether to continue with the plan of deposing the queen.

The emperor wiped away the tears from Yixiu's eyes. Although the doubts in his heart had not been completely eliminated, he couldn't help but be amazed. He hadn't seen Yixiu so fragile and helpless for many years.

"Xiaoyi, why is this happening?"

The emperor was moved to the point of genuine emotion that even his tone of voice became much softer.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty."

"No one is perfect in this world. Xiaoyi used to be obsessed with something and lost her mind. Now she finally sees the light. This is a blessing.

Those children who have never seen the light of day are already unlucky. If they can buy Xiaoyi a chance to turn back from her wrong path, and buy the Qing Dynasty a virtuous mother, then it can be considered that the children have accumulated blessings for themselves. "

The emperor held Yixiu's hand and spoke the most heartless words in the most gentle tone.

Even though Yixiu didn't understand human emotions, she couldn't help but be amazed.

How come this emperor is more like a monster in human skin than her?

"Xiao Yi, you are the mother of the Qing Dynasty, my queen, and the only person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me! Now the situation is precarious, the former court and the harem are not at peace, I need you!"

The emperor's tone was firm and full of trust, which made Yixiu, who was a little distracted, quickly pull her thoughts back to her senses. She acted as if she was moved and continued to act with him affectionately.

"How could I have earned your Majesty's trust? Please rest assured, I will change my ways and concentrate on stabilizing your harem. In addition, I would like to worship Buddha for two hours every day, praying to God to protect your Majesty and the Qing Dynasty!"

"If you have such thoughts, I can rest assured."

The emperor smiled and nodded, then loudly called Gao Wuyong in and asked him to convey his order.

The first was to lift the Queen's house arrest, and the second was to let Concubine Jing hand over the palace affairs to the Queen tomorrow.

"Queen, this harem will still require you to work hard."

"I will never let your Majesty down again."

Yixiu raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and hide the smile on her lips.

Longyue is a good child... She needs to think carefully about how to love this good child who can't lie in the future.
