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

Chapter 418: shirking responsibility, Chun Er is determined

"it's him."

Chun Er nodded and said with some concern.

"How did you get this done? Didn't I tell you to clean it up?"

The queen frowned impatiently. She had thought Chun'er was a capable person, but now she had caused such a big trouble for her.

"I did arrange for someone to deal with Xiao Guizi, but none of the people who went came back, so I suspect that something must have happened to Xiao Guizi."

Chun'er looked at the Queen's ugly face and spoke timidly.

"Your Majesty, I really didn't expect things to turn out like this."

"Okay, what's the point of saying this now?"

The queen interrupted Chun'er impatiently.

"Then what should we do, Madam?"

Chun'er looked at the queen anxiously and spoke.

Although she hated Zhen Huan, she even went so far as to attack Zhen Huan's father just to make sure Zhen Huan would never be able to turn things around.

But once something happened, she didn't dare to imagine how the emperor would deal with her. It would be terrible if her mother's family was implicated.

So at this moment, Chun'er was panicked and scared, and her first reaction was to come to the queen, hoping that the queen would help her cover up the past.

"we?"

"What has this matter got to do with me?"

The queen snorted coldly upon hearing this and asked back in a calm tone.

"But, Your Majesty, it was you who ordered me to take action against Wanpin. Now, Your Majesty, you can't just ignore me."

Chun'er didn't expect that the Queen would turn against her at such a time, which made her already panicked heart even more at a loss.

He even felt a little hatred towards the Queen. If the Queen had not been so sure, he would not have taken action against Concubine Wan at this time.

Even if she wants to harm Concubine Wan, the prerequisite is that she cannot get herself involved!

"You said I told you to do it, but when did I ever tell you to do such a thing? Even if you want to put the blame on me, you have to produce evidence. This is a serious crime to frame the Queen Mother."

The queen looked at Chun'er, narrowed her eyes, and spoke in a mocking tone.

At the beginning, she did not explicitly ask the other party to attack Concubine Wan. She just sighed a few times. Even if the emperor knew about it, he could not convict her based on Chun'er's family's words.

After realizing this, the queen decided decisively to abandon Chun'er, the fool.

After all, the emperor is already dissatisfied with her because of the imperial concubine, and her house arrest has not been lifted yet, so she must not bring trouble upon herself.

Otherwise, her position as queen might be in real danger.

You have to know that there is only a fine line between the imperial concubine and the queen. The imperial concubine was born in the Fucha clan of the Manchu military banner. Although she is unwilling to admit it, the other party is fully qualified to replace her as the queen.

Therefore, she must not show any abnormality in front of the emperor. Even if the emperor found out something, the worst that could happen was that he would just put the blame on Concubine Chun.

Anyway, the crime against the other party is not much different.

"Empress, are you going to kill the donkey after it has done its job?"

Hearing this, Chun'er stood up and looked at the queen with a cold face, questioning her angrily.

"Where did this come from?"

"I never asked you to harm Wanpin from the beginning to the end."

The queen smiled at Chun'er with tolerance and generosity.

"you!"

Chun'er then realized that the Queen had never said such words explicitly, and she had been hinting at her all along.

No wonder she was just a concubine's daughter, but was able to sit firmly on the throne of queen for so many years. Her mind is indeed meticulous enough.

"Empress, do you think you can stay out of trouble like this?"

"Even a rabbit will bite someone if it's cornered, let alone a human."

Seeing this, Chun'er spoke to the queen in a cold tone.

"Really? Anyway, I'm a little curious. How do you bite people?"

"Don't forget, once the emperor knows about this, not only you but your entire family will be held responsible for murdering the heir to the throne."

"So I suggest you think carefully about whether you should do this."

"After all, if I can get out of this, I can at least help you with some advice, so that your family won't be affected. If you insist on dragging me down with you, then I'm afraid your family won't be able to be saved."

"By then, exiling to Ningguta might be a blessing that you cannot even ask for. If the emperor gets angry, I'm afraid he might execute your entire family."

"After all, you have seen the emperor's affection for Wanpin. Now Wanpin has given birth to a princess for the emperor. The emperor feels guilty about Wanpin. If Wanpin knew that you were the one who harmed her behind her back, what do you think she would do?"

The Queen was not threatened by Chun'er at all. After all, it was Chun'er who reported to the Emperor that it was she who did it, but she had no solid evidence and the Emperor would not believe her one-sided opinion.

Secondly, Chun'er has a weak spot. In order to protect her family, she doesn't dare to really turn against me. In the end, she can only accept it all.

By then, even if Wanpin wanted to make trouble, it would be of no avail.

For the sake of his sister's instructions and the face of the royal family, the emperor will not care too much about this matter with me. The worst that can happen is that I will be confined to my house for a period of time. It is not a big deal anyway. The emperor will not easily abolish his position as queen.

What's more, the emperor would not be willing to let a concubine with powerful family power occupy the position of queen. After all, what the emperor needs is balance in the harem, so he can favor the imperial concubine but will not give her the position of queen.

She had always been worried about this before. After all, the imperial concubine was of noble birth and sat in the position of imperial concubine, which was not far from the position of queen. So she had always been uneasy, worried that her position as queen would be taken away by the imperial concubine.

But after the last incident, she was confined to her room and thought a lot, and finally realized the reason behind the emperor's behavior.

Although the late emperor doted on Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia so much, he did not make her queen during her lifetime. Instead, he made her queen when she was about to die in an attempt to bring good luck to her.

It can be seen that even in the absence of a queen, the late emperor was still unwilling to make the concubine of noble birth the queen. On the one hand, it was for the stability of the prince's position, and on the other hand, perhaps he did not want the power of the Tonggiya clan to become even greater.

Today, the Fucha clan is as powerful as the Tongjia clan was back then. If the emperor makes the imperial concubine the queen, the power of the Fucha clan will probably be even greater.

The emperor had finally uprooted Nian Gengyao and his Nian family from the court, so naturally he did not want a second Nian family to appear, so the emperor would not easily shake his position as queen.

No matter how much he dotes on the imperial concubine, he will not easily let her become the queen.

After realizing this, the Queen naturally became less wary of the Imperial Concubine, which is why she had the energy to harm Zhen Huan.
