The businesswoman flirting with her husband: Prince Tsundere, don't get angry!

Chapter 697 Youyou's Mouth
Xiao Qier stared at him, and said angrily: "You want me to follow the wishes of the people and abolish my mother's position as empress dowager?! Is that right? Not to mention, if I really do this, how chilling my mother will be?!"

He Shuang sighed: "It makes sense for the emperor to care about the relationship between mother and child."

Xiao Qi'er said resolutely: "Since the death of my father, I must protect my mother, and now she has suffered a lot of grievances for me, how can I let her bear the slander of others?!"

He Shuang nodded silently, sighed again, and stopped talking.

Xiao Qi'er said: "You go and ask the prime minister to come over, I want to discuss it with him."

He Shuang nodded and backed away.

Not long after, Gong Yu hurried into the study.

"Your Majesty." He shouted, with too much helplessness in his voice.

Xiao Qi'er seemed to see a savior, and there was no one else present at the moment, and he didn't care about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, so he rushed over and grabbed Gong Yu's sleeve.

"Grandpa, what should the queen mother do? I don't want the queen mother to be wronged..." He choked up as he spoke.

Gong Yu sighed and patted his head.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I knew about this matter before, but I just advised her not to listen. She has thought about the consequences now, but she still did it. Until now, there is no good way."

Xiao Qi'er's eyes were red, and he asked, "Why on earth is the queen mother doing this?"

"For you." Gong Yu said seriously.

"Your Majesty, the clans don't seem to have much power, but they hold the most important weapon, which is the issue of status. If they strongly opposed it at that time, let alone anything else, it means that the emperor's decree came first. You It is still difficult to secure the throne. Now they seem to support you, but if they fully support Cheng Wang in the future, the people in the world will have nothing to say, after all, they are all family."

Xiao Qier was a little depressed.

Gong Yu said: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter even if your mother's position as queen mother is abolished, and I will find a way to welcome her back later."

"Is there really another way?"

"Of course there is a way, but it's not now. The mouth of the people is better than Fangchuan. The will of the people is hard to shake."

Xiao Qier finally nodded heavily: "I understand."

There was indeed an uproar in the capital. Under the instigation of people with good intentions, the common people discussed this matter frequently, and there were people who looked down on the empress dowager's character everywhere.

If this was done in normal times, he would definitely be arrested and questioned, but now everyone says that, the law does not blame the public, and no one is taboo. Instead, he seized the opportunity to express his opinions fiercely, showing that he is extremely wise.

Gong Lixi has always been very calm, no movement from outside the Dali Temple can be heard, her ears are very clean.

After the court did not deal with the matter for a long time, the people became more emotional.

They all shouted that it was unfair, Yueli's laws and regulations only restrained ordinary people, and they protected the royal family so much, it was really chilling.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more urgent, the ministers had no choice but to urge the emperor to handle the matter.

Xiao Qi'er had no choice but to decree that Gong Lixi was abolished as queen mother and imprisoned in Dali Temple.

But it is impossible for the harem to be left alone. Although Xiao Qi'er has not yet married a concubine, the concubines of the former emperor's harem have not yet been settled, and almost all of them are in the palace.

Therefore, under the strong recommendation of some courtiers, Concubine Su Yi, who was pregnant with Liujia, took over the harem temporarily without hesitation.
