Chapter 142: Begging the Regent's Consort to Spare My Son
"Your Majesty, the laws of our great dynasty have always been strict and clear. Even if the Emperor himself breaks the law, he should be punished just like any commoner. How can we possibly let these two princes off scot-free? And what about Xue Dieyi, a person with such a depraved character, devoid of even a shred of integrity?" The Minister of Justice stepped forward.
He was born into a prominent family and served as an official, relatively clean and diligent. However, with many brothers and sisters at home, who knows if someone in the family did something he didn't know about, which happened to offend the Regent?
He naturally chose to stand with the Regent Prince and Princess, quickly making his attitude clear!
"According to the law, the second prince's fraudulent amount is enough to be imprisoned for ten years; adultery without a matchmaker should be paraded in a prison cart and humiliated; plotting against royal relatives should be beheaded!" The Minister of Justice also said with a serious face.
"What are you saying?" The empress glared at them: "What do you want to do to the imperial son of this palace?"
"The palace warns you..."
"Your Imperial Highness doesn't have to be so anxious and threaten the two of them," Sheng Jinxiu said: "At present, it's not that the two of them want to do something to the Second Prince and others, but rather what the laws of Daxing will do to them! No matter how noble a prince is, he can't surpass the law."
"If the empress tries to do something again, I can't guarantee that I won't also report her, after all, everyone has seen and heard what she did to me and my family."
"Sheng Jinxiu!" The empress's teeth were almost clenched to pieces, and she wished she could tear Sheng Jinxiu apart.
But the next moment, she suddenly knelt down with a "thud" and said: "Miss Jinshu, it was I who had an evil intention, instructing the Second Prince to do those things to you and the Sheng family. It's all my fault!"
"As the empress, I don't have money to pave the way for my own son, so I set my sights on you and forced the second prince to visit you at the Sheng household!"
"All these years, the Second Prince didn't like you. He told me several times to stop this plan, but I kept suppressing him and not letting him cut ties with you!"
"Thousands of mistakes, tens of thousands of mistakes, all are my fault. You have been wronged, you have been hurt, you have been framed. You want revenge, come at me!"
"I am willing to take responsibility for my own mistakes, just don't bother my son again!"
After finishing, she actually made a real kowtow to Sheng Jinxiu, and then slightly turned her body, making a bow to Yan Beizheng: "This palace's mind is dark and the education of children is not good, this palace is willing to die to apologize for guilt, asking the Regent King to spare this palace's imperial son..."
As soon as the words fell, the queen got up from the ground with her hands and feet, and rushed to the pillar next to her, hitting it hard!
"Empress!" The Emperor was shocked!
"Empress!" The Second Prince wanted to rush over, but was unable to move immediately because he was being held by Sheng Dieyi.
Just as the queen's head was about to hit the pillar, Yan Beizhen furrowed his brow and a palm wind struck out.
The queen in the midst of the impact was struck by this force and suddenly changed direction...
"Bang!" With a loud noise, her body flew sideways and crashed onto the desk of the Right Chancellor.
"Crash!" The table was smashed in two by her, she spat out a mouthful of blood and lost consciousness...
"Empress! Empress... someone come!" The Right Chancellor shouted in a fluster: "Where is the imperial physician? Where is the imperial physician, hurry and save the empress..."
At this time, several imperial physicians who were already at the banquet hurried over with the fastest speed, and after a while of acupuncture and medication, the empress finally reopened her eyes...
But she clearly felt immense pain spreading throughout her entire body.
Several of her ribs were fractured and she suffered severe internal injuries...
