The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 431 Awkward Situation, the Emperor's Decision

Chapter 431 Awkward Situation, the Emperor's Decision

Fucha Maqi keenly realized that this might be a good opportunity. If the queen was deposed by the emperor, his daughter might become the queen.

Combined with the news brought back by the youngest daughter in the palace, he understood that the emperor was still somewhat worried about the loyalty of their Fucha family.

He once again regretted why he had made such a rash choice, leading to such an embarrassing situation.

That night, Fucha Maqi convened a meeting of the clan elders in the study room for the entire night.

The next day, he took leave due to illness and did not go to court.

Upon hearing this, the emperor naturally arranged for the imperial physician to go to Fucha Mansion. He learned that Fucha and Ma Qi had various illnesses due to their old age, which can be put simply as senile diseases.

Upon learning of this, the emperor generously gave away a lot of medicinal herbs and supplements.

Of course, the emperor does not want the queen's maternal family to become too powerful. He is worried that the influence of external relatives will be too great and will affect the imperial power.

But he really liked the imperial concubine and even wanted to make her the queen. It was precisely because of this that he had not made a decision yet.

"Go check if this old guy Fucha Maqi is really sick."

The emperor looked at Xia Qi who was kneeling below and said in a cold voice.

If this is true, then it is God's will, and he will naturally go with the flow.

But if it is man-made...

That means Fu Cha Ma Qi could see through all his thoughts, which is not good news.

"Yes, Wei Chen will go right now."

Xia Qi clasped his hands together and responded.

After finding out that Fu Cha Ma Qi was indeed sick, the emperor finally felt relieved.

I guess all this is just a coincidence.

Yes, his Xier is a blessed girl, and God hopes that she can become his legitimate wife.

As for Ulanara, she no longer had to occupy the position of queen.

"Tell someone to give me a stronger dose of medicine. I don't want it to take too long."

The emperor glanced at Xia Qi with cold eyes and gave orders.

Xia Qi felt the pressure from the emperor's gaze, and while responding, he lowered his body a little lower.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Peisheng looked at the tightly closed door and felt a little uneasy.

Now the emperor summons Xia Qie frequently. Does that mean he doesn't trust me anymore?

Thinking of this, Su Peisheng's eyes rolled, and he quickly thought of something, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

On this side, Fu Cha Zhixi was shocked when he opened the small note sent by Su Peisheng.

But then he relaxed again, it seemed that the emperor was indeed suspicious.

Otherwise, he would not have summoned Xia Qian at this time. Most likely, it was to investigate whether Ama's illness was real.

However, she was not very worried about this. After all, her father was really sick, but his illness was not that serious. The imperial doctors in the palace were conservative in nature, and would usually exaggerate the situation if they were unsure.

After all, they don't want to get involved in these right and wrongs. As long as they keep insisting that he is uncomfortable, will these imperial doctors tell the emperor that his father is faking illness?

"My lady, do you want to inform the family?"

Yuhu looked at Fucha Zhixi worriedly and asked.

"No need. It's better to be still than to move."

"When times get like this, we need to be able to hold on steady."

Fu Cha Zhixi quickly spoke up to reject Yu Hu's proposal. Now, as long as she could keep calm, she would get what she wanted.

After all, she is the only one in the palace who is capable and qualified to become the empress. The emperor can either not choose a empress, or he can only choose himself.

Unless the emperor chooses to select another noble lady from outside the palace to enter the palace to succeed the throne, but if the emperor does so, it would be a slap in her face and in the face of the Fucha family.

Regardless of the fact that the emperor did have some true feelings for her, although it wasn't much, it was there.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, the Fucha family has always been cautious and loyal to the emperor. The emperor and the ministers have seen all of this. If the emperor treats their family so poorly, wouldn't it make other people who are loyal to the emperor feel scared?

This would only cause unrest in the court and would not be of any benefit to the stability of imperial power.

So for various reasons, the emperor would not choose this method.

Now the emperor has only two choices: either not choose a queen, or choose himself to be the successor queen.

And now is the critical moment for the emperor to make a decision. The little note sent by Su Peisheng really helped him a lot, allowing him to calm down quickly.

As long as she doesn't make any mistakes, she will be the queen.

"Your Highness is right. As long as we keep steady, that's enough."

Aunt Fangqiu also smiled and took over the conversation.

Soon, Fu Cha Ma Qi submitted a petition requesting leave due to illness. The emperor naturally did not approve it immediately, but only agreed after he had gone through the process of three refusals and three declines.

As Fucha and Maqi withdrew from the court, the Fucha clan fell silent again, but everyone knew that all this would only be temporary.

The emperor did not really want the Fucha clan to be unable to recover. He just did not want the Fucha clan to become too powerful, causing an uneven distribution of power in the court and leading to a monopoly.

What he wanted was that all these ministers were under his control. After all, the so-called imperial art was nothing more than balance.

Although the Fucha family has temporarily fallen silent now, because the Fucha family has a noble concubine, Fucha Fude is also a close minister to the emperor and has a bright future.

Therefore, the current Fucha family is in the state that the emperor wants to see the most. They are in a period of transition and still need his support and help. They will not develop any rebellious thoughts like the Nian family did in the past.

Here, the queen took the medicine handed over by Jianqiu and drank it in one gulp.

"You drink this stuff every day, why is your body still so weak?"

Jianqiu looked at the queen with some concern and spoke with concern.

The queen felt heartbroken when she saw Jianqiu, who had a lame leg, struggling to serve her.

As the senior palace maid beside her, Jianqiu had some respect even in front of ordinary concubines. However, after coming out of the Ministry of Punishment, she became like this now.

As for the other personal servants who served her closely, she never saw them again. She knew without a doubt that these people were most likely dead.

The servants in this palace are like grass. It's no big deal if a few of them die.

Even the servants who served me were just servants. Although I was the queen, I was just the emperor's servant. It was just that I did not see this fact clearly in the past.

"It must be those dogs who used some bad herbs to make medicine for the queen!"

Jianqiu did not notice the Queen's look, but just kept speaking up for her own queen.
