Chapter 251

While shaking the soup in the bowl, the emperor said: "Concubine Xian is indeed at fault in this matter, but my son has already found out that the Xue family is not involved. As for the punishment of the Xue family, Xue Bian Xue Father Mu and his son have just made meritorious service to the imperial court, and punishing them now will chill the hearts of the meritorious officials. As for the concubine Xian, the son is not saying that he will not be punished, but is just thinking of how to punish him." After finishing speaking, he will hold the soup He brought the spoon to the Empress Dowager, and said with a gentle smile, "Empress Mother, my son has already blown the cold medicine for you. Drink it quickly, and you will be healthy after drinking it."

The queen mother just wanted to speak, but the emperor stuffed a spoon directly into the queen mother's mouth. The queen mother was unprepared, and she was choked by the soup and coughed.

The emperor glared at the maid and said: "What are you doing still in a daze, why don't you hurry up and give the Queen Mother a break." After speaking, he said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother doesn't need to drink too quickly, the medicine should be taken slowly."

The queen mother coughed and was angry, she would not fail to see the emperor's intention.When she regained her breath, she said to the emperor, "What does the emperor plan to do with Concubine Xian and the Xue family?"

The emperor said: "Didn't my son say that the Xue family is an important minister in the court, and it is not that simple to deal with it. My son needs to carefully weigh the pros and cons."

Empress Dowager Qi said: "Since this is the case, don't come to see the Ai family until the emperor has weighed the pros and cons. Being able to raise a daughter like a concubine Xian shows the style of the Xue family. If the emperor reuses the Xue family, sooner or later the Xue family will become A sycophant who is in trouble for the court. The Ai family must not see that Datang is in trouble at the hands of the emperor, otherwise, the Ai family will have no face to go to the Taimiao to meet the ancestors in a hundred years." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and turned his back to the emperor.

The emperor frowned, after all, he still wanted to suppress the Xue family.

Concubine Qi advised Empress Dowager Qi: "Auntie, don't be angry with your cousin, he also has his own difficulties. After all, Concubine Xian has served my cousin for four years, and she has the affection of the deceased queen. And the Xue family has just made great efforts for the court, and the momentum is in full swing, even our Xue family has to give in a step, cousin, cousin, he..." She didn't go on, but fully expressed the great power in the Xue family Under such circumstances, she had no choice but to back down.

If the aura is in full swing, then it is even more impossible to stay.If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to suppress them, the threat to the Xue family and the King of Wu will only become bigger and bigger if you keep it.

Empress Dowager Qi looked at the emperor and said: "Look at the imperial concubine, she is the most wronged in this matter, but she is still talking to you wholeheartedly. The most wronged will not be rewarded, and the guilty will not be punished. There is no distinction between rewards and punishments." Emperor, you have disappointed the Ai family too much, and let down the late emperor who had placed high hopes on you." After finishing speaking, he continued: "The Ai family will not force you to make a decision immediately, but the Ai family hopes You have compensated the noble concubine."

The emperor asked: "What does the queen mother want me to do?"

The Empress Dowager said: "The Queen's position has been suspended for too long, and now the harem is full of chaos, because the harem is not under the control of the queen."

The emperor said: "Tomorrow, I will make a decree to make the noble concubine the imperial concubine."

The Empress Dowager and Concubine Qi are obviously dissatisfied. Although the Imperial Concubine and the Empress are only one step away, their status is very different.Empress Dowager Qi and Concubine Qi still wanted to say more, but the emperor continued: "When the concubine gives birth to a prince, she will become queen!"

Both Empress Dowager Qi and Concubine Qi knew that Concubine Qi would not be able to give birth, and the conditions for becoming a queen could not be met at all, but the emperor's words were not to blame. On the contrary, being a queen without a child was easy to be criticized.
