Chapter 423 The Princess Who Loves Me 15
In Shou'an Palace, the Empress Dowager looked at Fan Hongshen who was kneeling on the ground, neither saying a word nor allowing him to get up.
Fan Hongshen knelt there for a full hour. He could not bear it any longer, so he spoke himself.
"Your Highness, I came here today to admit my mistakes. I know I did something wrong and I regret it. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Fan Hongshen touched his knees.
The Empress Dowager was disdainful in her heart. She had really misjudged me before and couldn't even keep calm over this little bit of anger.
"Didn't you say at the beginning that you two were in true love and that there was nothing wrong with that, and that the ones who were wrong were us who were bound by etiquette?
You told me to never care about you again, why are you coming to admit your mistake now?"
Fan Hongshen said with a guilty conscience: "At the beginning, Hongshen was young and ignorant, but now I know I was wrong.
From now on, I will obey the Queen Mother in everything and will treat Princess Jincheng well.
As for Jiang Shuyun and Bingning, I will send them to the manor and never see them again."
The Queen Mother looked at Fan Hongshen who was kneeling on the ground in disbelief. All the other palace maids in the hall were shocked. She said this with such confidence.
Not to mention that Princess Jincheng is already engaged to the second son of the Li Sureng family. That is a thousand-year-old family, which cannot be compared with the Fan family.
Even if Princess Jincheng is not engaged, given Fan Hongshen's current conditions, how can he be qualified to marry the princess?
The Queen Mother didn't want to see this nephew whose brain was squeezed by the door.
"Who do you think you are as a royal princess? Do you think I am here for you to choose? Leave the palace immediately. I will never see you again.
Even without you, the Fan family still has others."
Fan Hongshen's face changed and he took out the evidence in his hand. When the Empress Dowager saw it, she immediately asked the servants to leave.
The palace servants went out hesitantly.
The Queen Mother angrily waved her hand and threw the pile of things to the ground: "What do you mean by this? Are you threatening me?"
Fan Hongshen slowly stood up, looked at the things on the ground and said, "Queen Mother, I don't want to do this either, but I am being driven out of the capital now.
My aunt has loved me the most since I was little. Please help me now. I promise that this time I will definitely lead our Fan family to become a noble family."
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Just relying on a person like you who is not in a clear mind?"
Fan Hongshen said: "You don't have to worry about that, Queen Mother. I have my own plan. I'm sure the Queen Mother doesn't want the Emperor to know what you did, right?
There is nothing wrong with murdering your grandson's offspring.
But the Emperor's most beloved legitimate princess was stuffed into such a vile way for a commoner like me who already had a wife.
I'm sure that even if the emperor respects and loves you, he won't be happy. Maybe by then the mother-son relationship will no longer exist.
So, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, the Emperor doesn't need to rely on you anymore, so it doesn't matter.
But the Fan family needs to rely on you. No matter what you have done, we will stand firmly behind you. What do you think? "
Fan Hongshen believed that the Queen Mother would help him without hesitation.
But when he looked up, he saw that the Empress Dowager's face was flushed with anger, her eyes were red, and the next moment she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The man suddenly climbed onto the small coffee table and knocked the teacup over. Fan Hongshen was stunned.
At this time, the palace guards from the outer gate rushed in, saw the blood on the ground, and quickly called the imperial physician.
The nanny raised her hand and found that the empress dowager was dead. She was so scared that she immediately asked the servants to call the emperor.
So on this sunny day, the queen was preparing things for Luo Chen's wedding.
The emperor was also taking the fifth prince to study when suddenly a servant from Shou'an Palace came running in panic to report that the empress dowager had passed away.
Everyone in the palace was so scared that they ran to Shou'an Palace.
When they arrived, they saw Fan Hongshen being pinned to the ground by the guards, and the rest of the eunuchs and palace maids were all kneeling on the ground, trembling.
When the emperor entered, he saw that his mother was dead.
With bloodshot eyes, he asked loudly, "What's going on? Who can tell me what happened?
How did you serve her? Why did the Queen Mother pass away suddenly? "
Lan Ping, who was beside the Queen Mother, crawled out and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, this morning, Master Fan Hongshen suddenly came and wanted to see the Queen Mother.
Your servant, your servant said that the Queen Mother is resting and not seeing anyone, but, but, Master Fan said that the Queen Mother will regret it if she doesn't see him.
Then, they went in, the Queen Mother asked all the maids to go out, and then there was a fierce noise from inside.
Then we heard the sound of a cup falling to the ground, and the servants rushed in to see that the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, had already..."
After hearing this, the emperor shed tears and immediately issued an order to send Fan Hongshen to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation and then revoke his title of Earl of Cheng'en.
The Fan family was raided directly, and all the members of the Fan family in the capital were arrested and imprisoned, and all three clans were implicated.
After being arrested, these thousands of people learned that Fan Hongshen was convicted of murdering the empress dowager and they immediately cried and yelled that they were innocent.
They had no idea about this, and they heard that Fan Hongshen was kicked out of the Fan family and was no longer a member of the Fan family.
But no one paid attention to them at this time. As long as Fan Hongshen was still on the Fan family genealogy, no one from the Fan family could escape.
Fan Yuan and Yang were both stunned. If they had known the child would be like this, they would have strangled him to death right after he was born.
Now, because of him, his entire family is going to be beheaded, and even his youngest son, who has a bright future, may die as well.
The Ministry of Justice immediately began to interrogate Fan Hongshen, and discovered so many secrets in the first trial. The evidence in Fan Hongshen's hands even pointed out that the Queen Mother killed his son.
This also involved his own mother, Yang.
However, there was only the shadow of the Empress Dowager in this case, but there was no direct evidence to prove that it was the Empress Dowager who did it, which made the officials of the Ministry of Justice feel relieved.
The Ministry of Justice immediately sent the confession to the emperor. After reading it, the emperor was silent for a while and then glanced at the people below.
“Pass on my decree, Fan Hongshen, who plotted against the Queen Mother, shall be cut into pieces, and all the others shall be beheaded, leaving no one alive.
The remaining three branches of the Fan family will be exiled to the far north and will never be allowed to return to the capital, no matter what amnesty they may receive."
After the Empress Dowager was buried, the Fan family completely collapsed, and even their newborn children were killed.
Luo Chen went to take a special look and found that there was only the third prince left, but this was her brother's business.
Originally, Luo Chen would have been able to get married in just over a year, but this time she can only wait because the emperor and the empress have to observe a three-year mourning period.
Three years later, she was just twenty years old, and got married as soon as she finished her mourning.
The couple stayed in the capital because Luo Chen was afraid that his younger brother was too young to be a match for the Third Prince.
Therefore, she and Leng Lingfeng stayed in the capital to observe the situation here.
After the final winner was decided, Luo Chen and Leng Lingfeng felt relieved to take their children out for a trip.
[Congratulations to the host, the mission is completed. 】
