Chapter 159: Empress Xie Loses Power

"Why are you here?" Queen Xie blurted out, but she regretted it right after she said it.

Emperor Jing frowned and looked at Empress Xie, "Why can't Tang'er be here?"

"Your concubine, your concubine just wants to say, shouldn't the princes and princesses have all gone back?" Queen Xie quickly thought of what to say.

It was just her subconscious words that were what she was thinking.

Emperor Jing stared at Empress Xie, and after a few breaths, he turned around and said, "Empress, please go sit aside first. Tang'er, I have some palace matters to deal with now, so you should go back first."

After hearing this, Su Tang immediately stood up and bowed to Emperor Jing, "Then Tang'er will go back first."

When Su Tang heard Emperor Jing's response, she bowed to him again, turned around and bowed to Empress Xie. When she stood up, she smiled brightly at Empress Xie.

After Su Tang stepped down, she took Chunmei out of the palace directly.

As soon as she arrived outside the palace, she saw the Second Prince and Old Madam Qi waiting for her.

"Royal brother, Madam Qi, why haven't you left yet?" Su Tang greeted the two of them.

"I didn't see you when I left the main hall with the other royal brothers and sisters just now. It was not until I left the palace that I realized you hadn't come out yet. I was a little worried. Are you okay?" The second prince looked Su Tang up and down, and was relieved to see that Su Tang was dressed neatly and there was nothing wrong with her body.

"It's okay. I just went back to see my father. After all, I have to leave the palace, so I'm used to saying goodbye before I leave." Su Tang smiled, "Brother, go back too."

"Well, I'm glad you're okay. You'd better go back to the princess's mansion early today." The second prince raised his head slightly, indicating to Su Tang that there was something going on in the palace and she should not wander around outside.

"Second Prince, I will personally escort the eldest princess back to the palace in a while, please don't worry." At this time, Old Lady Qi, who was standing nearby, responded.

The Duke of Qi left quite a few mansions for Old Madam Qi, and the Second Prince just saw it.

The Second Prince nodded to Madam Qi, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam Qi."

"Haha, of course I should. The Grand Princess and I have a connection, so of course I will help her." Old Lady Qi replied with a smile.

The Second Prince felt relieved upon seeing this, and told Su Tang not to go anywhere else and to return to the Princess's Mansion today, and then he left.

"Why is the old lady still staying here?" Su Tang supported Old Madam Qi's arm, and the two walked towards Su Tang's carriage.

"Hey, if he wasn't afraid of being talked about by court officials, Duke Qi would have wanted to stay. I scolded him and said, it would be fine if Ling Heng was there to see you off, but why would an old man like him do it?" Old Lady Qi said in a low voice.

"Hehe, no one will dare to do anything to me openly. Look, I am out safely now." The two walked to Su Tang's carriage, "Old lady, please take my carriage."

Su Tang's carriage was of princess grade, much larger than ordinary carriages, and the space inside was naturally spacious as well.

"Then I will take advantage of the Grand Princess's favor and ride in her carriage for once." A servant put the carriage seat in place, and Su Tang lifted up Madam Qi's arm and let the old lady get on the carriage first.

After the two of them got on the carriage, Madam Qi looked at Su Tang and asked, "What happened today? I heard from Chunmei that someone locked you in a room in the side hall and put a seductive scent on you."

"It's just a trick. They didn't succeed."

"Well, it's a good thing that you know medical skills, otherwise you would have been fooled. You should have more people around you in the future. If you are short of people, let Ling Heng assign a few to you."

"No need, Chunmei and the others are fine. Today's palace banquet allows us not to bring more than one maidservant with us, so I only brought Chunmei with me today. Normally, I always bring two people with me when I go out, and they both have some skills. Don't worry, I'm not a weak person, and I won't let those people succeed." Su Tang patted the back of Madam Qi's hand to comfort her.

"That's good. Hey, I don't know what happened in the side hall. When you came out, the people who left the main hall before didn't leave the palace."

Old Madam Qi could only think that those people must have seen something they shouldn't have seen, which is why they were detained by the palace.

Just after they left, there were actually quite a few people outside the palace, waiting for the family members who had not yet come out to attend the palace banquet.

The carriage swayed back to the princess's mansion. Old Madam Qi watched Su Tang enter the mansion with her own eyes, and then she took the carriage of the Duke of Qi's mansion back.

In the palace.

At this time, Emperor Jing had already known about the absurd things that happened in the side hall.

His face was livid, and he looked at Empress Xie who was kneeling below him and sneered a few times, "Haha, the Empress seems to be confused. She actually did such a thing in the palace. Don't think that I can't find out just because you gave up an old slave."

"Your Majesty, I was just confused for a moment."

"I was confused for a moment!" Emperor Jing grabbed the teacup next to him and threw it at Empress Xie.

Although the tea was cold, Emperor Jing was still angry and used a lot of force to smash the teacup directly on Empress Xie's forehead.

Empress Xie's forehead was immediately broken by the cup, and blood and cold tea flowed directly down her face.

Empress Xie did not dare to hide, nor did she dare to wipe the blood from her forehead with her hands.

One of her eyes was blurred by blood and could only be half open.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me this time. I have no credit for managing the harem, but I have worked hard. Please..."

Emperor Jing interrupted Empress Xie again. After learning the whole story, he really wanted to kill Empress Xie immediately.

He had just found Concubine Su and his daughter, but he didn't expect that after so many years, Empress Xie still couldn't tolerate Su Tang and was going to use such despicable means to deal with Su Tang.

That's Concubine Su's daughter. He hasn't seen Su Tang grow up by his side. He didn't expect that just after recognizing her, he would put Su Tang in danger again.

"Fu Quanhai, pass on my decree. Empress Xie is seriously ill. From today on, Fengyi Palace is sealed off and no one is allowed to visit!

The former palace maids and eunuchs of Fengyi Palace were all beaten to death for failing to take good care of the palace!

Let's get a few more people who can't speak to serve."

As soon as Emperor Jingdi finished speaking, Empress Xie collapsed on the ground listlessly like a deflated balloon.

Emperor Jing glanced at Empress Xie with disdain and gave Eunuch Fu a look.

Eunuch Fu understood immediately and said to the guards outside, "Come here, take the seriously ill Empress Xie back to Fengyi Palace."

Two guards came in immediately and tried to pull Queen Xie off the ground.

These guards who have been in the palace for a long time must understand what Emperor Jing's decree means.

Empress Xie has lost her power and will probably be deposed by Emperor Jing soon.

So the guards showed no mercy to Empress Xie. One of them grabbed one of her arms and tried to drag her out.

"Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this, I..."

"Hurry up and let the Queen calm down!" Eunuch Fu signaled to the two guards.

After hearing this, a guard chopped Empress Xie on the back of the neck with a knife.

Queen Xie's body immediately collapsed and she was dragged out by two guards.
