I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 248: To depose the Queen Mother.

"Why do you say that?"

"I killed your biological mother, and I took your throne from someone else. From childhood to adulthood, I have always used you, including using you to cover up my crimes."

"you......"

"Brother, you heard it, right? It turns out that you and I are both pawns in her hands. You are still defending her for the sake of so-called family affection. It's ridiculous."

Li Lingchen never thought that the reason she raised him up, taught him archery and horse riding, and told him that he was the future monarch was all for her own selfish reasons. She just wanted to help a puppet who would completely obey her sit on this position.

Li Lingchen couldn't believe all this. It turned out that he was the most ridiculous person. He recognized his enemy as his mother and was used by her to do many things he didn't want to do. It was simply the most ridiculous and blind person in the world.

Li Lingchen looked at the Queen Mother with cold eyes and asked, "I want to ask you, were the incidents in Anren County and Xuzhou caused by you?"

The Queen Mother nodded with a distracted look in her eyes and said, "It's me. It's all me."

"You..." Li Lingchen closed his eyes in disappointment. He had doubted and suspected, but he had never thought of truly hurting the empress dowager who raised him.

Li Lingxuan looked at Li Lingchen's hesitant attitude and asked coldly, "Brother, are you going to continue to protect her?"

"I......"

"Don't forget how your mother died. Do you need her to tell you in detail?" Li Lingxuan stared at Li Lingchen with cold eyes.

Li Lingchen frowned and looked at the Queen Mother, then shouted loudly: "Hongfu!"

After a while, Hong Fu walked in quickly from outside the palace. Seeing the Queen Mother's embarrassed appearance, he was surprised, then quickly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty."

"Pass on my decree. The Queen Mother has a vicious mind. She has secretly stationed troops and murdered innocent people. Her virtue is unworthy of her position. From today on, Yixiang Palace will be designated as a cold palace. There will no longer be a Queen Mother in the Chili Kingdom."

Hong Fu's heart trembled when he heard this. Imprisoning the empress dowager in the cold palace was an unprecedented precedent. The Chili Kingdom had always valued filial piety. If this were to be spread out, he would probably be criticized.

Hesitantly he said: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother..."

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Li Lingchen interrupted coldly.

Hongfu immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he hurried out to draft the decree.

When Concubine Hua and Lin Yiyi arrived, they saw Hongfu hurriedly coming out of Baohua Palace.

Concubine Hua shouted anxiously: "Eunuch Hong!"

Hong Fu paused, looked over, and quickly walked over to see respectfully, "Madam, why are you here?"

"What's the situation inside now?" Concubine Hua asked with some concern.

Hong Fu sighed and said, "Your Majesty wants to depose the Queen Mother, and I will rush to draft an edict."

"Depose the Queen Mother!"

"Yes."

Concubine Hua frowned, and Lin Yiyi was surprised. Is this emperor finally willing to touch the empress dowager?

"Mother!" Jiahe's voice came from behind Lin Yiyi.

When Hongfu saw this, he wanted to stop Jiahe, but he didn't expect Jiahe to walk so fast that Hongfu only touched the flying hem of her skirt before she had already stepped into Baohua Hall.

"Mother!" Jia He came in and saw his mother kneeling on the ground in a mess. He hurried over and knelt on the ground, his eyes full of worry. "Mother, what happened to you?"

At this time, the Queen Mother's eyes had slowly gathered. Seeing that the person next to her was Jiahe, her brows furrowed, "Why are you here?"

Jia He saw his mother staring at him, and said worriedly: "I heard that something happened to my mother in Baohua Palace, so I hurried over."

When the Queen Mother heard the word Baohua Palace, her expression changed drastically. She then looked around, and the familiar furnishings overlapped with the memories in her mind.

"Is this Baohua Palace?"

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

The Queen Mother staggered to her feet, her jet-black hair hanging on both sides, her eyes filled with tension and panic.

Jiahe stood up and walked forward worriedly to help the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother shook Jia He off and stared at Li Lingxuan standing beside her. She became vicious and pointed at Li Lingxuan and shouted, "Did you do this?"

Li Lingxuan sneered, "Have you forgotten how you came to Baohua Palace?"

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly, and then she remembered the scene of herself kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Li Lingxuan. Then she shook her head in disbelief, "Impossible, how is it possible, it wasn't me, it wasn't me?"

"enough!"

Li Lingchen interrupted the Queen Mother with a deep voice.

The Queen Mother looked at Li Lingchen, and then, as if she had grasped at straws, she said aggrievedly: "Chen'er, it must be Prince Cheng who framed me. You know best what happened to Concubine Rou. How could I have done it?"

"You vicious woman!" Li Lingchen pushed the Queen Mother away and said coldly, "You have used me for so many years, do you think I am stupid?"

"Chen'er, how could you...how could you say that? You are my son, how could I use you?"

"You killed my biological mother. You just said it yourself." Li Lingchen roared angrily.

boom!

The Queen Mother felt as if the sky had fallen. How could she tell His Majesty all this in person? What on earth had she just done?

Lin Yiyi and Concubine Hua stood at the door and listened to the voices inside. They were both surprised. Lin Yiyi covered her mouth in disbelief as if she had eaten a huge melon. Is this a royal secret? Oh my God.

Although Concubine Hua was also very surprised, she was in the palace after all. She did not show her emotions on her face, and her expression remained the same as usual.

Hongfu walked in respectfully holding the prepared imperial edict.

"Your Majesty, the imperial edict has been drafted."

"Announce it immediately to the world. I want everyone in the world to see the true face of the Queen Mother."

"Yes."

"No!" the Queen Mother said sternly, then she quickly walked towards Hongfu, snatched the imperial edict, opened it and began to read it, and then the imperial edict was thrown heavily to the ground.

The Queen Mother looked at Li Lingchen with disappointment and said, "Are you going to destroy me?"

"After you did something like this, how can you still be the queen mother respected by everyone?"

"You can't depose me. Once this imperial decree is issued, it will be you, Your Majesty, who will be despised by all the people. Don't forget that the Chili Kingdom values loyalty and filial piety the most."

"Because you can't avenge your biological mother, you disregard the words loyalty and filial piety." Li Lingchen said coldly word by word.

The Queen Mother felt heavy-hearted after hearing this.

Li Lingxuan watched the Queen Mother's performance coldly from the side, and then sneered: "Interesting!"

The Queen Mother glanced at Li Lingxuan, "You are the one who did all this, right?"

"So what if it's me?"

The Queen Mother looked at Li Lingchen anxiously and said, "Chen'er, you heard it. These are all false accusations made by King Cheng against me. He has always wanted me dead, you know that."

clap clap!

Li Lingxuan clapped his hands slowly, and said with a sneer: "The Queen Mother's ability to reverse yin and yang is still as good as it was in the past. Why don't I recall it for you?" As he spoke, a dark purple sachet dropped from his hand.

When the Queen Mother saw the sachet swaying in the air, she was stunned and stared at it in disbelief.
