Chapter 819 How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?
The Queen stood opposite Emperor Qiwen, her gaze like a sharp blade, cutting through his hypocritical heart layer by layer.
He did that thing perfectly. He even killed the fourth brother, the only one who knew about it. How could the queen know about it?
If that incident was exposed at this time, even if he was the emperor, he would not be able to escape the criticism of the people...
As if sensing the fear in his eyes, the Queen sneered, "Baili Fengjue, did you think that with the Fourth Prince dead, no one in the world would know about you plotting to murder the Second Prince, Baili Mo Ran?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone kneeling on the ground was shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Did they hear it wrong?
The death of the Second Prince was, was it planned by the Emperor?!
The queen continued speaking, slowly telling the truth of that year.
"Back then, in order to eliminate the greatest threat to your throne, I tricked the Fourth into murdering the Second and framed the Seventh..."
"This move not only eliminated the then most popular candidate for the crown prince, the virtuous prince Baili Mo Ran, but also removed the heavily armed Dongli prince Baili Mo Qing. Finally, you also held the evidence that the prince of Jin was the murderer, allowing him to be controlled by you!"
"From the beginning to the end, you only needed to say a word to reorganize all the power divisions in the court..."
"As expected of an emperor, this method of killing four birds with one stone is truly astonishing!"
In the courtyard of the Western Chu Palace, there were people kneeling on the ground. At a glance, there were hundreds of people.
But at this time, apart from the queen's mocking voice, no other sound appeared.
Because everyone felt that there was a strong murderous intent surrounding them, as if it would devour them in the next second.
The Queen's accusation was shocking and terrifying. If it was true, the Emperor's reputation and dignity would be tarnished with a huge stain!
If such a serious crime is not punished by an imperial edict, how can the officials submit? How can the people be convinced? How can the prestige of the Tianqi State be maintained?
"Sister-in-law! If you have no evidence, it is extremely disrespectful for you to make such a serious accusation against my brother!"
Baili Qingren spoke with a serious face, causing the almost stagnant air to flow again, and also making everyone feel a sense of relief for surviving the disaster.
Emperor Qiwen didn't say anything, but when he looked at the queen's eyes, there was no affection anymore, only coldness.
"We've been married for many years, but we never thought it would end up like this."
"Queen, if you cannot produce strong evidence to prove your statement today, then tomorrow will be the day when Tianqi will depose you!"
Is he still using the position of "Queen" to warn her?
She looked at him, smiled softly, and asked, "What if I produce evidence? Would the Emperor also have to step down and let someone else take the blame?"
"Boom!"
As soon as the queen's cold and confident voice fell, a low and deafening thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
This time, it was not an illusion in everyone’s minds, but real thunder.
Everyone looked up in surprise, and in that moment, they seemed to have forgotten a lot of things.
All they saw was that the sky, which was originally clear, suddenly became filled with dark clouds, with occasional flashes of dazzling light in the dark clouds.
Things have changed!
"Empress sister-in-law!" Baili Qingren looked worried and his heart was filled with uneasiness.
The emperor was most afraid of others discussing the throne. How could she dare to say something like "abdicate and let someone else take over"? Wasn't she afraid that the emperor would be furious and kill her?
"Are you so confident that you have evidence?"
Emperor Qiwen looked at her with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
He really wanted to know now, what made the queen so confident?
"The Queen doesn't have it, but your son does!"
Suddenly, out of the silence, a man walked out, with an outstanding figure and an imposing aura.
He stood there with one hand behind his back, and one could see the natural dominance emanating from him.
"It's Prince Li!"
"Could it be that Prince Li is also going to oppose the Emperor?"
"This……"
Emperor Qiwen looked at Baili Moqing walking over, and he couldn't tell whether he was surprised or not.
He had guessed that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon and so suddenly.
"Old Seven..."
He spoke softly, and a complex emotion could be heard in his voice.
"Father!"
Baili Moqing bowed to him. This was his upbringing and also the minimum respect he could show to his biological father.
No matter what, he is still his father.
"So, you planned everything today?"
Emperor Qiwen spoke lightly, and the moment he saw him nod, he felt a sense of sadness that had never appeared in his heart before.
In the end, he still became a "lonely man"!
"You, know everything?" He looked at him, his pupils shrinking slightly.
Baili Moqing nodded again, his expression did not change at all, only calmness.
Seeing him like this, Emperor Qiwen felt a little disappointed, but also a little relieved.
Among his sons, he was most worried about the second and seventh sons.
Because the two of them worked together perfectly! One civil, one military, they won over all the officials in the court and shared the love of the people.
If he had not done that back then, he would have lost the support of the people of the world long ago.
The eldest brother's death might have been caused by his excessive suspicion, but he didn't think he did anything wrong in the second brother's incident.
How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?
"Seventh Brother, although you were wronged in those days, I have already compensated you."
"The title of the First Prince of Apocalypse cannot be earned by winning a single battle."
"I think you understand what I mean."
Baili Moqing nodded and replied calmly, "I understand."
"If you know everything, why do you still make such a huge mistake?"
Emperor Qiwen had a look of sadness on his face and disappointment in his eyes.
"A monstrous mistake?" Baili Moqing stood beside the Queen, his voice finally rising and falling. "Isn't it you, Father, who has committed such a monstrous mistake?"
Emperor Qiwen looked at him in shock, unable to believe what he could say at this time.
"Seventh Brother, you!!"
Although Baili Moqing is a powerful warrior with great military achievements, he is a well-educated person; so no matter how great his military achievements are, he is always respectful, polite, gentle and obedient in front of him.
Even though he was exiled by him for four years, he never expressed any complaints or dissatisfaction towards him, let alone contradicting him in person.
This was the first time he rebelled against him.
"Father, I have always believed that you are aware of the respect my second brother and I have for you."
"However, what you have done, whether as a minister or as a son, I cannot accept it, let alone agree with it!"
There was a hint of disappointment in Baili Moqing's eyes.
"I ask for nothing else but justice for my second brother."
He was tall and slender, with an imposing and majestic aura, and even had more of a kingly aura than the Emperor Qiwen sitting opposite him.
"Father, as long as you confess the truth about my second brother's death in front of all the officials today, write a letter of apology, and announce it to the world! Then I, your humble servant, will give up everything!"
