Chapter 173: Deprivation of Rights, Assistant to the 6th Palace
No matter what the Queen's reason was this time, he must give her a severe punishment to rectify the situation in the palace, otherwise the concubines in the palace would be in chaos in the future.
In addition, when Xier gave birth, Lady Fucha entered the palace to accompany her. This time, even if they wanted to keep the matter secret for the queen, there was no way to hide it from the Fucha family.
Once the Fucha clan found out, they would know that Fucha Zhixi almost lost both the prince in her belly and herself because of the Queen. There is no way the Fucha clan would let this go so easily.
Only by giving them a severe enough punishment can the Fucha family be silenced, so as to prevent the incident from getting bigger and bigger and bringing shame to the entire royal family.
But the current situation does not allow the Queen to be punished in any overt way, so as not to cause unrest in the previous dynasty. He can only take away the things she values most and distribute them to other people to show his attitude.
The emperor glanced at the empress kneeling on the ground and said calmly, "The empress is ill and needs to stay in the palace to recuperate. All matters in the palace will be handed over to Concubine Hua, Concubine Xuan and Concubine Jing to take care of together."
"I am willing to be punished."
When the queen saw that the emperor did not say anything to threaten her position, she immediately felt relieved.
Although losing the right to manage the harem was a bit troublesome, she also realized that as long as she remained on the throne of queen, this power would return to her sooner or later.
As long as these people make mistakes, like what happened to Concubine Hua before, when the emperor realizes that no one else can fight against Concubine Hua, for the sake of the overall situation the emperor has to return the power back to his own hands.
Thinking of this, the sincerity on the queen's face became even more obvious.
This made the emperor look at her strangely, somewhat confused as to why she could be so happy even though she had lost the power that she valued most.
Could it be that he really realized his mistake?
The emperor was skeptical about this and did not fully believe that the queen would reflect on her mistakes so easily.
He looked at the flawless smile on the Queen's face and felt more and more strange in his heart. He was unwilling to stay any longer, so he flicked his sleeves and left.
On this side, Fu Cha Zhixi finally woke up after giving birth.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to look at Suqin and ask, "Is everything arranged?"
"Don't worry, Madam. Everything has been arranged."
Suqin quickly realized what the queen meant and nodded with a smile.
In fact, the so-called midwife was specially arranged by the Fucha family. Her purpose was to make the queen more confident that her plan was successful. While she was secretly happy, she would relax her vigilance towards others.
As a result, the people in the Fucha Mansion could use this incident to help the emperor's people easily find evidence of the queen's previous crimes.
You have to know that the reason why the Fucha family did not cause trouble for the Queen after the horse-frightened incident was just to get angry at this moment.
Let the emperor clearly realize how "virtuous" his so-called good queen is.
After all, the Fucha family has always attached great importance to their legitimate daughters, and Fucha Zhixi is the youngest child, so they love her like the apple of their eye.
Although she was forced to enter the palace, now that she is already there, she must sit in the highest position.
So this was the decision made by Fucha Maqi after he realized that his daughter's entry into the palace was irreversible and he discussed with the elders of the same clan.
He knew very well that the current emperor, the fourth prince of the late emperor, had always been a stubborn person.
If they were like Concubine Hua and the Nian family, the more they showed that they cared about that position in front of the emperor, the more wary the emperor would be.
You have to know that Hua Fei, the most favored concubine in the six palaces, has not been pregnant for many years. Everyone in the big families in the capital has some speculation.
After all, it's not that the Emperor has no other children, and Concubine Hua has been pregnant before, so both sides are capable of having children. However, Concubine Hua, who has been favored for many years, has never been able to get pregnant. If this isn't God's will, then it can only be human error.
Therefore, the Fucha clan fully learned the lesson of the Nian family. Not only would they not tell Fucha Zhixi about their plans, they would also try their best to remain absolutely low-key and humble while being loyal to the emperor.
Even if they knew that their most precious youngest daughter was only given the title of a noble lady after entering the palace, they would never show the slightest dissatisfaction.
This is also the reason why Fucha Zhixi was able to rise so quickly.
In addition to the fact that she herself was able to attract the emperor's attention, it was the Fucha family's silent efforts behind the scenes that made the emperor certain of the Fucha clan's loyalty to him, so after giving birth to a child, she was directly promoted to the position of concubine.
"That's good. I'm sure the Emperor has found out what he should find out by now."
Fu Cha Zhixi took the warm water handed over by Su Qin, took a sip, and said softly.
"Yes, I heard that the emperor went to the queen's place and said something. I don't know what he said, but he left with a very unhappy look on his face."
Suqin took the cup that Fucha Zhixi had finished drinking and spoke.
"Does the Emperor intend to cover this up, just like Concubine Qi did before?"
Yu Hu frowned and asked in confusion.
"The emperor naturally has his own ideas. Let's just wait and see."
Fu Cha Zhixi didn't say much else. After all, her mother was by her side when she was pregnant and giving birth. Even if the emperor wanted to help cover it up, it would be impossible.
I think the emperor should be able to think of this, so he won't do such a stupid thing.
Then, in order to make the Fucha clan, who had just returned to the throne, more loyal, the emperor must show the right attitude and impose adequate punishment on the queen.
But the queen is the queen after all. As long as she sits on that position, she represents the face of the entire royal family.
Since the Nian family is so powerful, the emperor will naturally not depose the queen at this critical juncture. What's more, the position of the queen itself cannot be deposed at will.
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that the Emperor will definitely deal with the Empress this time, but the way he deals with her may not be too high-profile?"
Yu Hu thought about it carefully, and finally, at Su Qin's prompt, he asked tentatively.
"That's right. Just wait and see. I think the imperial edict will arrive soon."
As soon as Fu Cha Zhixi finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside the door.
Soon, Su Peisheng came in with the imperial edict.
"Greetings to Queen Consort Xuan, may the Queen be blessed with good health and good health."
Su Peisheng looked at Fu Cha Zhixi with a smile on his face and spoke.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered me to come and read out the imperial edict, but Your Highness is not feeling well right now, so you don't need to stand up and salute."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Fu Cha Zhixi nodded and spoke with a faint smile.
"Then your Majesty, just lie down peacefully, and I will read the imperial edict."
Su Peisheng nodded to Fu Cha Zhixi and began to read.
