The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 575 Flip ruthlessly
The ninth day of September, Double Ninth Festival!

Emperor Longxin, who had ascended the throne less than three years ago, passed away on this day of family reunion.

Empress Dowager Ruan held her son and cried heartbrokenly: "Your Majesty, why are you so willing to leave your mother behind and just go like this?"

Empress Du stood aside and cried with her handkerchief in her hands. It was hard to see how sad she was.

The heartbroken Empress Dowager Ruan suddenly slapped him across the face: "Bitch! You and your daughter conspired to kill my son, and now you are doing so hypocritically here!"

Queen Du was slapped to the ground, covered her face and cried, "Why is this, Queen Mother?"

"Your Majesty has passed away, and I am extremely sad in my heart. How will I live as an orphan and a widowed mother in the future? It is already painful for me. Why does my mother still want to accuse me unjustly?"

Empress Dowager Ruan pointed at Empress Du with trembling fingers: "Bitch, don't think I don't know. My son has been in excellent health since he was a child. If you and your daughter hadn't conspired, why would my son have died young?"

"The Ai family tells you that if my son dies, you two, father and daughter, won't be able to get any benefits!"

Seeing her like this, Empress Du put away her sad expression and put on a bit of a sneer: "Queen Mother, how did your majesty get the throne? Others don't know, don't you know it in your heart?"

"It's just a prince who wants nothing but a false name. Do you think he can sit on this throne without the support of my Du family?"

"You have relied on my Du family to gain a foothold, and you still want to support the Xiao family and my Du family in the arena. Queen Mother, you mother and son are simply trying to burn the bridge across the river. You don't want to wait until the river is finished to be demolished. You are a little too anxious!"

Empress Dowager Ruan saw that she didn't even pretend to be pretending anymore, and she felt a chill in her heart: "You are so ambitious, so the child is no longer His Majesty's?"

Queen Du's expression changed slightly and she sneered: "Does it matter? As long as it's what crawls out of my belly, doesn't it matter?"

She had a domineering temper. As her father said, if she relied solely on Emperor Long Xin, Emperor Long Xin would have to take action on her if the Du family lost power. It would be better to be a Queen Mother.

It doesn't matter what kind of man she likes. As long as he's not too ugly on the surface, there's nothing anyone can do about her.

Empress Dowager Ruan's whole body seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She had made some guesses before, but when the truth was revealed in front of her, she still couldn't help but feel sad. Her son did not leave a boy and a girl behind.

It would have been better if the Xiao family had been left behind. At least Xiao Lianxin still had one in his belly, and Xiao Zhizong could compete with Eucommia ulmoides if he kept it.

I regret it!Seeing that the situation was over, Empress Dowager Ruan looked defeated and in pain.

Empress Du stood up and said with a smile: "Empress, if you are willing to stay in the palace well, I will naturally not embarrass you too much!"

In the court hall the next day, the eldest queen held her son who was less than two years old and listened to the government behind the curtain.

Eucommia ulmoides stood at the head of the hundred officials in the court, read out the imperial edict of Emperor Longxin, and regarded himself as an auxiliary minister.

Most of the officials who came to Shu together at the beginning were people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, but now most of them were attracted by Eucommia ulmoides. For a time, there was no one in the court who opposed it.

Du Zhong was about to discuss with the courtiers the future of Emperor Longxin and the enthronement of the new emperor. Suddenly, a female voice from outside the palace interrupted Du Zhong.

"Master Du, if I remember correctly, this country belongs to my Tantai family, right?" Princess Xiushan entered the main hall dressed in formal court clothes.Eucommia looked at Princess Xiushan displeased: "Your Highness, what do you want?"

This bitch had a good talk with him when they were in bed last night. Why did she suddenly jump out and do something today?

Du Zhong couldn't figure out what Princess Xiushan wanted to do, so she had to exchange glances with Zuo Hou's confidant. If something went wrong later, a sword fight would be inevitable.

Princess Xiushan flicked her sleeves and said solemnly: "Master Du, this world belongs to the Dafeng Dynasty and the Tantai clan. As the eldest princess of the Dafeng Dynasty, I will never tolerate rebellious officials and traitors like you. Make waves!”

When Eucommia heard this, she suddenly felt bad. This bitch was going to cause trouble.

Even if someone close to Du Zhong said: "Elder Princess, we respect you as the eldest princess of the Dafeng Dynasty. For allowing your daughter to go to the palace is such a treasonous and unethical thing, please retreat quickly and don't talk nonsense here!"

Princess Xiushan showed no fear and laughed loudly and said: "You look down on women like me, so why should I look down on weaklings like you? As a minister of the Dafeng Dynasty, you actually turned to the likes of Eucommia You thief, you really want to be a subordinate of others!"

Du Zhong said angrily: "Elder Princess, today we are discussing the late emperor's departure to the west and the young emperor's accession to the throne. Please don't mess around, women like you!"

As he spoke, he glared at Princess Xiushan fiercely, signaling this crazy woman to stop messing around.

Unexpectedly, Princess Xiushan did not give him any face: "Master Du, I am here today to expose you, a traitor with a human face and a beastly heart, who actually poisoned His Majesty."

There was an explosion in the court hall. Some of them were Du Zhong's confidants, and they naturally guessed the cause of Emperor Longxin's death. However, there were still a small number of people who were unaware of it. After hearing what Princess Xiushan said, they all looked sideways at Du Zhong.

Du Zhong immediately became angry. He dared to plot to kill Emperor Long Xin, but in the end he still wanted to keep his reputation. Now that Princess Xiushan said it so openly, it was like tearing off his face in public.

One of his confidants immediately jumped out and said: "Elder Princess, we respect you, but you can't be so slanderous and frame the loyal Lord Du. It would be too ridiculous!"

The rest of the people also followed suit: "Eldest Princess, you have no proof, please don't slander Lord Du like this!"

Du Zhong's eyes flashed with satisfaction. Now that he could control the courtiers, how could a mere woman control him?

Princess Xiushan had an in-depth exchange with him for a long time. How could she not know what this man was thinking, so she immediately sneered and said, "Do you think that I am here for nothing?"

"Since I dare to accuse you, Lord Du, of plotting to murder His Majesty, there must be sufficient evidence. I wonder, Lord Du, do you dare to confront me?"

The faces of the court officials all turned pale, knowing that there would be a bloody storm today, and they didn't know if it would affect them.

Murderous intent flashed through Du Zhong's heart. This bitch didn't speak like this when she first conspired with him, but now she came to disrupt the situation. However, it would be too naive for her to think that she could be dragged down in this way.

"Since the eldest princess said so, please provide substantial evidence. Mr. Du is worthy of heaven and earth in his actions. Even if someone uses very sinister means, he will definitely not be afraid."

Seeing his calm appearance, Princess Xiushan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I really hope that after the witness evidence is presented at the meeting, Mr. Du can still maintain his current composure!"

Du Zhong's heart sank. Could it be that this bitch really had some leverage?
