Chapter 462: The Queen's Enlightenment
Ye Xu thought there must be something wrong with his ears. He actually heard the Queen asking him to depose her. How ridiculous.
After not hearing a reply, the Queen looked at Ye Xu and spoke again: "Your Majesty, please depose the Queen!"
Seeing the determination in the queen's eyes, Ye Xu was stunned!
It turned out that I had heard correctly just now. The Queen did ask me to depose her.
"Queen, are you crazy?"
The queen shook her head, then revealed a bitter smile and said, "Your Majesty, I am not crazy. I have been thinking a lot these past few days."
"Since I entered the palace, I have been arrogant and domineering, and never take any woman in the harem seriously. I know that Your Majesty has been tolerating me all the time."
"If it weren't for the fact that my brother is stationed at the border, you would have deposed the queen long ago."
"Also, if you were not the Supreme Emperor, you would not have appointed me as the head of the harem."
Hearing this, Ye Xu fell into deep thought.
The Queen was right. If her father had not forced her to make her the Queen, she would never have become the Queen.
But she has been the queen for so many years, and apart from her arrogance and domineering nature, there doesn't seem to be any major problems with her.
Looking at Ye Xu's silence, the queen knew that she was right.
The more I think about it, the sadder I get. I feel like crying.
The queen lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Your Majesty, since I entered the palace, you have only been to my palace a few times."
"After you became the queen, I naively thought that you would come to Weiyang Palace more often."
"I never thought you would come less often. Except for the first day of every month when the emperor must go to the queen's palace, you never come at other times."
"Although I am the queen, I have never truly won the emperor's heart. I know very well that this position is just an empty title. Without the emperor's favor, everything is empty talk."
"Your Majesty, there is something I have been holding in my heart for a long time." The Queen thought for a moment and then said slowly, "You always say that you love the late Queen."
"You don't love anyone."
"If you really loved the late queen that much, you wouldn't have taken so many concubines into the palace again and again."
"Before the late queen entered the palace, she told you that she wanted to live together for the rest of her life, and you agreed to her request."
"But you eventually let down the late queen."
"I don't understand, if you can't do it, why did you agree?"
"Because you didn't keep your promise, the late queen died of depression."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xu's expression changed slightly, as if he was touched by the Queen's words, but he didn't know how to respond.
The Queen was right. It was all her fault that she harmed Meng Xue. If she hadn’t disappointed Meng Xue time and time again, she wouldn’t have...!
The queen continued, "I have been thinking over and over again recently, and I feel that instead of wasting my time in this deep palace, it would be better for me to ask to be deposed, so that the emperor can be relieved and I can be free."
"I don't want to become like the late queen, and die depressed in this deep palace."
Ye Xu was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Queen, you are resentful that I demoted the second son, right?"
"Also, how can the position of queen be abolished so easily? Do you think you can be queen if you want to or not?"
"You don't want to leave the palace to find the second brother!"
The Queen slowly raised her eyes, her gaze firm: "Your Majesty, I have made up my mind. Although the position of Queen is noble, it is no longer what I want. I only wish to be free for the rest of my life, without being burdened by the red tape of the palace."
"Of course, you are right about one thing. I want to leave the palace to find Ming'er."
"For the rest of my life, I will watch Ming'er get married and have children, and I will help him raise the children. This is the life I yearn for."
Ye Xu was silent for a moment, as if he was making a difficult decision. Finally, he sighed and said, "Queen, since you have this intention, I can't force you. But the matter of deposing the queen is no small matter, and we need to think about it carefully."
The queen nodded slightly, with a trace of relief in her eyes: "I understand. I just hope that the emperor can make a decision as soon as possible so that I can be free."
The two looked at each other in silence, and the room was silent.
The moonlight shines through the window and falls on their bodies, as if adding a touch of poignancy to the conversation.
The silence in the air made Ye Xu feel inexplicably irritated.
"Queen, you should have a good rest! I will come to see you another day."
The Queen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off."
After Ye Xu left, Madam Rong walked in.
Looking at Ye Xu's leaving back, Madam Rong was very puzzled.
If it were any other time, since the emperor had come, the queen would definitely find ways to keep him.
"Your Majesty, you have always hoped that the Emperor would come! Why did you let him go?"
"Ah...!" The Queen took a deep breath and said, "Madame Rong, I have already asked the Emperor to depose me."
Abandoned queen?
Aunt Rong widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
"Madam, how are you...?"
The queen walked to the window and stared at the moonlight outside. Her face looked particularly cold in the moonlight, and her eyes flashed with complex emotions.
"Madame Rong, I have felt an unprecedented exhaustion these past few days. This palace is filled with schemes and intrigues. I am eager to escape from this place filled with schemes and intrigues."
"I have been in the harem for so many years. I am not a good person, but I have never harmed anyone."
"I'm so tired!"
Hearing this, Rong Mama also sighed: "My lady, no matter where you go, I will follow you."
The queen held Rong Mama's hand tightly, her eyes full of gratitude: "Rong Mama, thank you."
"Since my mother passed away, you have been following me and taking care of me for so many years. You have worked so hard."
Rong Mama shook her head, her eyes red, "My lady, this old slave is not tired."
"As long as you don't despise me, I will accompany you no matter where you are."
The master and servant looked at each other and smiled.
"...!"
Ye Xu has been standing in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden since leaving Weiyang Palace.
"Eunuch Gao, shouldn't I have taken in so many concubines?"
Eunuch Gao opened his mouth, but no words came out.
There was no response, so Ye Xu smiled and said, "Silence means consent."
"But I am the emperor. Isn't it normal for me to have three palaces and six courtyards?"
This made Eunuch Gao even more confused about how to respond.
At this moment, what Eunuch Gao was thinking was: This is normal, but since you can't be together for the rest of your life, you shouldn't have promised the late queen in the first place. There will only be her in the harem.
That goddess-like woman spent half her life in this deep palace and died of depression. When Eunuch Gao thought of this, he felt that the emperor in front of him was somewhat guilty.
Ye Xu shook his sleeves and said, "Oh, forget it, Eunuch Gao, draft an imperial decree tomorrow. Concubines who are willing to stay in the palace can continue to stay, and those who are not willing can leave the palace and marry on their own."
Eunuch Gao: "Yes, Your Majesty."
