It is not easy for Zhang Yanyun to finally reach this point after working hard for so many years.
Finally, at this moment, she felt a deep despair. Life is not perfect in the first place. It was her greed that caused her to make mistakes, leading to her current situation.
It can be said that what happened today is entirely her own fault.
This is the so-called retribution. When she did something wrong, she hated herself like that, but in the end she was trapped in it.
She was so lonely, she so longed for companionship and love. She hopes that there is someone who can tell her that he likes her and needs to love her.
This is Zhang Yanyun's little wish, but in fact how can things be so simple?
"Queen Mother, I really realize the stupid mistake I made. Can you please help me hide it?" Zhang Yanyun begged.
"Paper cannot contain the fire. You are too stupid in this matter." The Queen Mother said bluntly.
Zhang Yanyun suddenly knelt down. Once the emperor knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous.
I'm afraid her position at the back will be in jeopardy.
"Queen, everyone must bear responsibility for the mistakes they have made. No one can escape unscathed." The Queen Mother said helplessly.
Zhang Yanyun burst into tears: "Queen Mother, I know my mistakes, can you just give me a chance to change my ways?"
No man can endure his wife betraying him, let alone that man is the emperor. Zhang Yanyun was never the only one chosen by the emperor.
"It's only now that you realize your mistake. It's too late." The Queen Mother warned, "Why did you do it earlier than today?"
"Queen Mother, I beg you!" Zhang Yanyun's words were all pleading.
But the Queen Mother remained unmoved. She didn't like Zhang Yanyun in the first place, but the emperor promoted her. If the Queen were to fall, it would do more good than harm to Xie Shuting's status in the court.
Zhang Yanyun was still begging, but the Queen Mother still left.
This was a handle given by Zhang Yanyun herself. The Queen Mother really had no reason not to use it, right?
We have all gone through ups and downs. It is unexpected but reasonable for something like this to happen.
The Queen Mother almost did not hesitate and immediately informed the emperor of the matter.
"Does your Majesty know why the Queen is going to the temple these days?" the Queen Mother asked.
"Isn't it just for my country?" Emperor Xie Cheng seemed to know nothing about this matter.
It seemed that Xie Cheng was completely in the dark and didn't know anything. It was indeed a miracle.
I don’t know if Zhang Yanyun protected the news well, or if Xie Cheng was so stupid that he turned a blind eye.
Obviously, it's going to be a little bit of both.
One deliberately concealed it, and the other deliberately failed to investigate and think deeply, which led to what happened now. Quite tricky and complicated.
The Queen Mother immediately ordered the monks to be brought in.
Xie Cheng was curious: "Did the Queen Mother also ask the monks to help pray for blessings?"
The Queen Mother immediately scolded: "Tell me what happened between you and the Queen!"
Xie Cheng finally had an ominous premonition at this moment: "What does the Queen Mother mean by these words?"
"That's what the emperor understands," the Queen Mother explained.
"Your Majesty, I really didn't mean to have an affair with the Queen. It was the Queen who seduced me first and I made the mistake later!" The monk chose to protect himself wisely at the critical moment.
"I know that the emperor is a wise king and will definitely forgive me for the wrong things I have done. There are seven levels of pagodas. Once you make a mistake, it will be dead, right?" The monk begged for mercy.
"What did you say?" Xie Cheng finally understood the cause and effect of the matter. It seemed that Queen Zhang Yanyun had an affair with the monk behind his back?
This was a really big blow to his dignity, and could even be said to be fatal.
Xie Cheng still doesn't want to believe this: "Send the message to the Queen!"
When Zhang Yanyun arrived, he saw the monk prostrate on the ground and the empress dowager with a serious face. Xie Cheng, who had been livid all the time, instantly understood the truth of the matter.
"Your Majesty, I was confused when I was a concubine!" Zhang Yanyun confessed what he had done.
Xie Cheng only heard this sentence and knew that Zhang Yanyun was really...
"Queen, have you really... done anything to feel sorry for me?" Xie Cheng asked.
Xie Cheng's heart has always been very complicated. Now that the witnesses are here, he can only close his eyes.
The monk is still begging for mercy: "Queen, why do you want to seduce me? If you hadn't flirted with me, I wouldn't have shaken the Buddha's heart!"
"But a slap can't make a difference..." The queen looked at the man she once loved with disappointed eyes. She even thought about giving up her position as queen for him!
Even if it's just for a moment.
Queen, that is the supreme status and glory, she hopes she can have it all.
But the result of greed was to harm herself.
Zhang Yanyun suddenly burst into laughter, and it was a bit like breaking a jar and saying: "Does the Emperor think that I will make a mistake and the responsibility will be all on me?"
Xie Cheng's expression instantly became even more ugly: "The position I gave you as queen is my trust in you. Isn't this true?"
"That's not enough, you didn't give me your love!" The queen was still a little hysterical at the end.
Xie Cheng originally wanted to kill the monk and give him a lighter sentence, but Zhang Yanyun's words completely angered him: "Queen, do you know what you are talking about? Are you awake now?"
"I have always been sober! The reason why I have reached this point today is also due to the Emperor!" Zhang Yanyun said.
Xie Cheng was very angry: "Okay, very good. Queen Zhang Yanyun, who had an affair with a monk, deserves what she deserves. She was deposed as queen and was thrown into the cold palace!"
After Zhang Yanyun heard Xie Cheng's arrangement, she felt regretful in her heart. But she was so excited just now that she accidentally said a lot.
If she speaks out now, she will have no way out and she can only deal with it. This is a fact.
Zhang Yanyun fell to the ground.
It's over, everything is over.
It’s not that you don’t report that the time has not come yet.
The queen mother on the side looked at Zhang Yanyun quietly. From the time she put Xie Shuting in prison, she should have thought that such a day would come.
"In addition, pull this monk out and kill him with a stick!" Xie Cheng said.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Queen, save me! I was really forced! I am innocent!" The monk was obviously a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
In the face of death, he was able to disregard even the most basic dignity. He even didn't hesitate to lie, because it was because of Zhang Yanyun that he was shaken in the first place.
How can a lonely woman resist a man's sweet words?
The Queen Mother looked at the monk with cold eyes, her face full of calm.
The news spread all over the world instantly. Xie Shuhao found out that his mother's concubine was exposed and immediately went to the emperor to intercede.
"No matter what, my father, my concubine is your married wife. You can't treat your mother and concubine like this. This is really too cruel to her. My father should know my concubine's thoughts!" Xie Shuting said loudly .
