Chapter 65 The Queen's Domineering Aura
Sun Quan, along with several other officials behind him, knelt before the Emperor and the Empress, and glanced at Concubine Lan beside him without being noticed.
They both saw the smug look in each other's eyes, and today they must make the Emperor and the Empress abolish Miss Shen's position as Crown Princess.
On the one hand, it can prevent Shen Ze and the prince from forming an alliance, and on the other hand, it can avoid future troubles.
After all, the Imperial Observatory said that Miss Shen was destined to be a phoenix, and they couldn't take the risk.
"Prime Minister Sun, it is still unclear whether my daughter ran away from her marriage or was kidnapped by criminals. Please be careful with your words and do not insult my daughter's reputation."
Shen Ze stared at Sun Quan with a gloomy face. The reason why this guy said this was because he was afraid that what the Imperial Observatory said was true.
If Yiyi is really destined to be a phoenix, then the crown prince will definitely be the future emperor, and then the second prince will have no hope.
Regardless of whether Yiyi can be found or not, and whether the prince will let her be the crown princess, he must stand on the same side with the prince now.
After hearing his words, Sun Quan curled the corners of his mouth sarcastically.
"Prime Minister Shen, no matter what the reason is, since Miss Shen is now missing, she is no longer suitable to be the Crown Princess.
The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, how can we let such a person of questionable character be the future Queen?"
After saying this, he curled the corners of his mouth in complacency, feeling even more sarcastic in his heart.
Let’s not talk about whether Miss Shen can be found. Even if she is found, her reputation has been ruined after staying outside for so long.
This Shen Ze actually still has the foolish wish to make his daughter the Crown Princess. He is really wishful thinking.
"You......" Shen Ze was so angry that smoke came out of his head.
His chest was heaving violently, and he glared at Sun Quan with uncontrollable anger, wishing he could swear at him.
Even if he disliked that rebellious girl, he didn't want others to slander her innocence like this.
But I also know that what he said makes sense, as that evil girl has been away from home for so long.
Even if the innocence is restored, it will be difficult to stop people from gossiping.
How could the royal family allow someone with such a ruined reputation like her to marry into the royal family, but she just felt unwilling to do so.
He knew clearly that Sun Quan and his men said this just to ruin the marriage, but he was powerless to refute.
Seeing that Shen Ze was speechless, Concubine Lan, who had remained silent, looked at the emperor and the queen with a smile.
"Your Majesty, sister, if you ask me, Prime Minister Sun is right, although I am also optimistic about Miss Shen.
But after being away for so long, even if he is found, some unpleasant rumors are bound to spread.
So I also feel it is inappropriate, so why not let this marriage go, so as to avoid bringing shame to the royal family in the future."
After saying that, he shook the fan in his hand again, and when he looked at Sun Quan, there was an unconcealable pride in his eyes.
Even if Miss Shen is found, her reputation will be ruined. I don't believe that the Emperor and the Empress will allow her to continue to be the Crown Princess.
“……………………” The emperor frowned.
Looking at the right prime minister and a group of ministers kneeling in front of him, his face was extremely gloomy.
She also knew that they were right. In order to save the royal family from shame, Miss Shen was indeed not suitable to be the Crown Princess anymore.
But the Queen had also told him that she liked Miss Shen very much, and there was also what the Imperial Observatory had said, so he was in a dilemma for a moment.
Seeing that the emperor had begun to hesitate, Sun Quan was secretly happy.
"Your Majesty, Miss Shen......"
Just when she was about to add fuel to the fire and ask the Emperor to depose the Crown Princess, she was interrupted by the Queen before she could finish her words.
"Prime Minister Sun, aren't you meddling too much?" The Queen asked in a flat voice.
But there was suppressed anger in his eyes, and he glared at Sun Quan and Concubine Lan with dissatisfaction. They could not wait any longer.
Chen'er is still alive, but he is so impatient to depose the Crown Princess. He really thinks that the mother and daughter are easy to bully.
"What do you mean, Queen?" Prime Minister Sun was shocked.
He stared straight at the queen. Although the queen's tone was calm at the moment, he could already feel the anger in her eyes.
Moreover, this kind of majesty made him feel inexplicably tight in his heart, and he vaguely felt that the next words would be merciless.
Concubine Lan was also stunned and stared at the queen. She thought the same thing as Sun Quan.
Looking at the anger in the queen's eyes, she is about to lose her temper.
Even the Emperor and Shen Ze looked at the Queen, and they both had a premonition that what the Queen was going to say next would not be pleasant.
Shen Ze was delighted.
"……………………"
The queen finally spoke. Judging from the extremely restrained anger in her eyes, it seemed that Sun Quan would be in trouble in a while.
After all, he had experienced this before. Once the queen got angry, she would not show them mercy like the emperor did.
Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, the queen looked at Sun Quan and others who were kneeling on the ground, and her expression became even colder.
“Although the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, he has not yet ascended the throne, and the affairs of the palace do not yet concern the country.
As officials appointed by the imperial court, you should be concerned about the country and the people's suffering, but now you are meddling in other people's affairs.
The scope of his management is indeed wide. Besides, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated that Miss Shen is destined to be a phoenix, and she and Chen'er are a perfect match made in heaven.
This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. It would be fine if you did not bless it, but you also submitted a memorial requesting the abolition of the Crown Princess.
I would like to ask Prime Minister Sun and the ministers, since the Crown Prince cannot take Miss Shen's life, who is more suitable?"
The queen stood up and glared at Sun Quan and the ministers who were kneeling before her.
The meaning is very clear, the Crown Princess is destined to be a phoenix.
You don't let the Crown Prince marry a Crown Princess. This means you don't want the Crown Prince to inherit the throne. Are you planning to usurp the throne?
"I dare not!" Prime Minister Sun and others were shocked.
They were even more panicked and trembling with fear.
Even though they really wanted to depose the crown prince and appoint another heir, the queen said it bluntly.
This clearly means that they have disloyalty to the court and the emperor. If they cause the emperor's wrath, they will be guilty of the serious crime of having their property confiscated and their entire family exterminated.
“……………………” Concubine Lan was shocked.
He stared at the queen, and he didn't expect that the queen would say these words without caring about the consequences in front of everyone.
Looking at Prime Minister Sun and the others who were looking frightened, he adjusted his mood and looked at the Queen with a smile on his face.
"Sister, what you said is too serious. Prime Minister Sun and the others are doing this for the good of the Crown Prince and for the good of the royal family..."
Before Concubine Lan could finish her words, she was interrupted coldly by the Queen.
"This is serious. Humph. The Crown Princess will be in charge of the six palaces in the future and will be the mother of the country. Yet you gentlemen are slandering her like this. I would like to hear your explanation."
The queen was domineering and stared at Prime Minister Sun and others with cold eyes. Her meaning was very clear.
Miss Shen is not only the Crown Princess, but also the future mistress of the harem. This is a fact that no one can change.
If we continue to talk about it, it means that he has ulterior motives and is suspected of usurping the country and treason.
Looking at the empress standing in front of them with dignity, like a monarch looking down upon the world, Sun Quan and his ministers felt terrified.
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
