Chapter 454 Ending
Rong Que killed Prince Teng and his four men in one breath.
Rong Que was killed in front of all the envoys. He was innocent and upright.
Prince Teng was so angry that he couldn't vent it.
He didn't instruct these four people to chase anyone at all, and he didn't know why his close followers were not guarding the door for him but were chasing someone!
He hadn't even mentioned the child to the Queen Mother yet.
But now the person is dead in front of everyone, and there is no evidence, so whatever he says is in vain.
Prince Teng glared at Rong Que angrily, "Despicable and shameless."
Rong Que sneered, "Not even half as good as Prince Teng. After all, I can't do the thing of giving my own daughter to someone else to raise."
Prince Teng's face turned pale.
Moduo talked about this matter at the palace banquet at that time. Even though the matter was exposed, he could still say that Moduo had deliberately slandered him in order to fight for power.
But what about now?
In this situation, he had no way to defend himself after being told this by Rong Que, after all, he was actually in someone else's Lotus Temple.
This place is inhabited by the concubines of the previous emperor!
He is a prince of another country and has no reason to come here.
Glancing at the crowd, Prince Teng did not see Mo Duo among them. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He seemed to understand what Rong Que meant.
Rong Que wanted to hand him over to Mo Duo.
Mo Duo was not at the scene, which means he was unaware of what was happening here. What kind of news Da Qi would receive in the future would depend entirely on Mo Duo's mood.
Prince Teng felt a surge of resentment. He looked at Rong Que with hatred, "Your Majesty, are you plotting against me just to help Moduo? Your Majesty is truly kindhearted, but you're unaware of the love story between Moduo and the Empress back at the border! Your Majesty's generosity truly impresses me!"
When things came to this point, Prince Teng knew that he was the one who would have to face this challenge, but he also wanted to take someone with him before he died.
If he is not happy, no one else can be happy.
Prince Teng finished speaking, looking at Rong Que with an expression as if he was waiting for a show. Rong Que, however, gave him a sneer and ignored him. He turned around and ordered, "The Queen Mother has violated the etiquette and the teachings, colluded with foreign enemies to disrupt the government, and desecrated the Lotus Temple, showing great disrespect for the late Emperor. I deprive you of your status as Queen Mother and demote you to the status of a commoner. You will be executed as a commoner in three days!"
At Rong Que's command, the empress dowager's originally pale face immediately turned gray. She swayed, her eyes were dizzy, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
The Minister of Justice took the order without even blinking, and then ordered two guards to arrest the man and send him to the Ministry of Justice prison, where he was kept under strict guard and executed three days later.
Having lived a life of elegance and splendor, the Queen Mother never expected that she would end up like this.
Seeing that there was no chance of recovery, the Queen Mother was furious. As she was dragged away by the guards, she cursed Rong Que bitterly, but Rong Que ignored her and continued, "The Queen Mother was able to come to the Lotus Temple this time because of her own conspiracy in the palace. I only thought that she came to the Lotus Temple out of sincere repentance, but I never expected..."
Rong Que was filled with grief. "Orders are sent out to conduct a thorough investigation. Everyone in the Empress Dowager's bedroom and palace, including anyone related to her, must be apprehended and exiled!"
Minglu took the order again.
Rong Que seemed to be holding back a grudge. After giving his orders, he turned to look at Prince Teng, "Prince Teng, there's no need to be afraid. After all, you are the prince of Da Qi. It's not my turn to punish you!"
After saying this, the emperor's anger suddenly flared up, and he emphasized his tone, "He Chao!"
He Chao immediately stepped forward, "I'm here!"
"Immediately send Prince Teng back to Da Qi. I have explained everything to the Emperor of Da Qi. I do not wish to antagonize Da Qi, but I cannot swallow this insult. I demand an explanation!"
Everyone gasped.
Rong Que's move was vicious. Regardless of whether the Emperor of Da Qi believed in Mo Duo or Prince Teng, he forced the Emperor of Da Qi to kill Prince Teng.
Now that several other countries have signed such an agreement, Moduo also signed it on behalf of Da Qi.
No matter what Moduo's status in Da Qi is, the envoys from other countries don't care. Once he signed, he represented Da Qi. If the emperor of Da Qi did not recognize it, the other countries would have a reason to join forces to attack Qi.
Da Qi did not dare to start a war.
But the Great Yan Dynasty was able to launch an uprising because Prince Teng had already intervened in the succession of the throne.
This is to force Prince Teng to death and let the Emperor of Da Qi be the executioner.
The Emperor of Da Qi had no choice but to be the executioner. However, once Prince Teng died, Mo Duo's return to Da Qi would be a hundred times smoother.
Prince Teng could naturally think of what others could think of. He looked at Rong Que with a sullen look on his face, "What benefit did Mo Duo give you that you would actually allow him to harm me like this!"
Rong Que was frank and didn't mince words, "Moduo not only benefited me, but also benefited all of us!"
The agreement clearly states that the place where countries can trade with each other is in the border town of Da Qi.
This is a huge benefit. No matter what chaos happens in the future, it has nothing to do with our country and is all Da Qi's business. Moreover, once any chaos occurs, other countries will have reason to blame Da Qi.
Such an unequal treaty certainly has its benefits.
Moduo wanted to use everyone's power to return to the royal family of Da Qi. This was the sacrifice he chose.
But what everyone didn't know was that Moduo had already replaced all the people in that remote town with his own people, and he didn't plan to take over this place anymore.
Since it was a place for trade, he simply gave it up and drew the border.
However, this will have to wait until he ascends the throne in the future before it will be announced.
The incident at Lotus Temple completely disrupted the original plan. At this time, who would have the mind to go hunting and barbecue? After resolving the issue here, the group headed back home.
By the time Rong Que returned to the palace, Su Qingqing had already cut the Gordian knot and dealt with the remnants of the Queen Mother in the palace.
She has never been a charitable person. What she lacked was just an opportunity. Her principle was to rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go. Anyone who was suspicious would be taken away and exiled.
She is not a saint. These people are helping the Queen Mother and are harming her. She cannot let them go or just expel them from the palace just because they are living lives.
Aunt Xu hasn't woken up yet, and Su Qingqing is full of hatred.
Expelled from the palace and exiled to the border, from then on, life and death were determined by fate.
As for Jiao Xing'er, Su Qingqing did not take any other measures against her. Jiao Xing'er was already beautiful and charming, so there was no need to imagine what she might encounter during her exile.
Her charm is the best treatment for her!
After the palace had finished its order, Jixiang stood in front of Su Qingqing and said, "Now, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Since entering the palace, I haven't felt at ease for a single day. I have to worry about being poisoned even when I eat or drink."
As she spoke, she looked at Su Qingqing's belly.
"Since the queen is about to give birth, we can rest assured if these people are cleared out early. However, we don't know when will react."
Su Qingqing had a very difficult pregnancy.
When I was pregnant, I went through a lot of trouble. Now I am safe, but the fetal gas that should have occurred a few days ago has not moved yet.
Doctor Sun was already a little anxious.
When the baby is about to be born, it is not a good thing if he does not give birth for a long time.
