497. Chapter 497 The queen was deposed and thrown into limbo
"Brother, are you..." Sima Chun showed an expression of disbelief. She stared at Murong Xitian with aggrieved eyes, "I have always thought that my brother is loyal and honest, but I didn't expect that.
You betrayed the right way and chose the Prime Minister, aren't you afraid that a hundred years from now you will not have the face to meet the ancestors of the Murong family?"
Murong Xitian's cold eyes fell on Sima Chun's hypocritical face: "The truth has always been business-like. I only believe in the truth. I will not disregard national laws because my relatives have committed crimes, nor will I use trumped-up charges to benefit myself just because I don't like others."
.”
A crisp sound of "click" sounded, and Murong Leiting placed the tea bowl on the table.
As if seeing the last straw, Sima Chun looked at Murong Leiting affectionately: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has the final say regarding my fate."
"Well, what does Prime Minister mean?" Murong Leiting asked.
Xia Qingtian pursed his lips, seeming to be thinking, and did not answer immediately.
The current drama was different from what he expected. He thought that Brother Murong Lei Ting, no matter what the truth was, would definitely fight with him to keep the queen to achieve the purpose of protecting the queen's position.
Could it be that you have been fooled?
"The Queen was originally a sinful daughter and a spy of the Genglan Dynasty. Not long ago, she used her true name to assassinate His Majesty in an attempt to seize the kingdom of the Splendid Dynasty. All of these crimes are serious crimes and should be punished by Lingchi. But the Queen Mother
Not long after her birthday, the world has just been granted amnesty, and the queen is the mother of a country. If something like this happens, it will damage the prestige of our court. Based on the truth, I will put the queen into the cold palace, and then secretly destroy her and restore her power." Xia Qingtian blinked.
I thought about the question clearly, and what I said was completely different from what I had imagined before.
Murong Xitian was very dissatisfied after hearing this: "It's easy to hide things, just let her die."
"My dear son-in-law, this is a bad idea. The Queen's sudden death will arouse the court's suspicion, and spreading rumors will undermine my authority." Seeing Murong Xitian's objection, Xia Qingtian became more sure of his guess. Murong Xitian was
He plans to use his power to get rid of the queen and third-party forces.
How could he be Murong Xitian's executioner?
Murong Xitian still wanted to argue, but Murong Leiting waved his hand: "In accordance with the wishes of the prime minister, the queen will be demoted to the cold palace. At the same time, the important principles of wiping out the queen's gang members will also be handed over to the prime minister."
"Your Majesty is wise." Xia Qingtian showed a smile of success, "There is one more truth to tell. The queen's dethronement will definitely arouse a lot of speculation. In order to stop these people from talking and avoid competition for favor in the harem, it is better to establish another queen."
"The prime minister must have found the best candidate." Murong Leiting raised his eyebrows, seeming a little displeased.
When Xia Qingtian saw it, the look of pride on his lips became even stronger: "I propose Concubine Zhen. She has always been favored by the Queen Mother and also helps the Queen to manage the Sixth Palace. She is currently the most suitable candidate."
"Concubine Zhen?" The displeasure on Murong Leiting's face slowly faded away, "I will discuss it with the Queen Mother and make a decision as soon as possible."
"I believe that I will prepare another big gift to congratulate Concubine Zhen on her title of queen." Although Xia Qingtian did not press immediately, he did not forget to put pressure on her.
Murong Leiting nodded and stood up: "Leave the queen's affairs to the Prime Minister. Xi Tian, you come with me. I just got a few offerings recently, all for women, so I gave them to Xiao
