It's just a tree. If it dies, you can just plant another one. But a person, whether alive or dead, belongs only to him.

If it escapes, he will catch it and then break its wings. In short, no one can disappear here.

"How's the other thing going?" A figure suddenly flashed through Long Mujiang's mind.

"We have received accurate information. General Meng has already led people to hunt for him. I think he will return to Beijing soon." Xue Er felt relieved when he heard Long Mujiang's words.

Fortunately, both things did not fail, otherwise he could not guarantee that he could leave safely.

"Song Yu is living so comfortably outside, it's time for him to come back." There was an evil smile on Long Mujiang's face.

He may not have time to look after it, but Song Yu will definitely keep an eye on the news about going to the capital. He doesn't believe that such an ambitious person like Song Yu will really give up everything and never go to the capital.

Song Yu was keeping a close eye on Shangjing City, and there must be news about Aze. When the time came, he would offer him some bribes, and he believed that Song Yu would betray Aze again for the sake of profit.

By then, he can let Aze see clearly that in this bustling world, everyone is driven by interests, so his occasional deception and exploitation for the sake of interests is nothing more than the simplest human nature.

"Your Majesty, there's news from the Queen Mother, who wants to see Your Majesty." When Xiao Yangzi saw that Long Mujiang's matter was resolved, he immediately told him the news he had just received.

He had originally thought that if His Majesty still couldn't calm down, he would suppress the news for today. Otherwise, if he rushed to bring bad luck upon himself, he really couldn't guarantee that he would be safe.

"Yeah." Long Mujiang nodded and walked outside.

Originally, both the Queen Mother and Concubine Lan were used to restrain Aze. As long as they attracted Aze's attention, he would be completely stabilized and Aze would not be able to go anywhere.

Unfortunately, these two people are useless and can't even handle such a simple matter. Now that his position is stable, he can deal with the two of them directly.

After all, he has no intention of keeping useless people in his harem.

When Concubine Shu became the Empress Dowager, she knew that her only purpose was to attract Xu Tianze's attention, so no matter what means she used, as long as she could attract Xu Tianze's attention, she would try it.

But she didn't expect that the useless Concubine Lan would go too far. When she wanted to save the situation, she only got the news that there was a fire in the Qianqing Palace and Xu Tianze died inside.

From then on, she knew that her good days were really over. Later, she was placed under house arrest in her own palace, but she didn't feel anything.

But recently she felt increasingly weak. She didn't know whether it was because Xu Tianze poisoned her that day, or because the emperor could no longer tolerate her. She could only lie on the bed and endure the torture.

Now that she felt that she was really about to die, she was actually very calm. However, she still wanted to see the emperor, to see the son who had made her so happy at the beginning.

"Your Majesty."

She heard Xue Cui's greeting outside the house, her eyes moved, and her face showed some excitement. She knew that the emperor had finally come to see her.

"I heard that the Queen Mother wanted to see me, but I don't know if there is anything else she wants to tell me." Long Mujiang sat on the chair brought by Xiao Yangzi and waved behind him.

Xiao Yangzi and Xue Er looked at each other, then carried Nanny Xue Cui away, not forgetting to close the door thoughtfully.

"My child, I am so sorry for you." The queen mother forced herself to sit up and looked at her son with guilt.

If she had strangled Xu Tianze to death directly, perhaps there would not be so many problems now. If she could capture Xu Tianze's heart when she returned to the palace and trap Xu Tianze firmly in the palace, perhaps everything would be different.

Long Mujiang looked at the deep regret in the Queen Mother's eyes and laughed disdainfully: "Does the Queen Mother really regret it? I don't think so."

In the final analysis, she only expressed regret because she was about to die. In fact, she never regretted her original choice. She only regretted not handling the matter as soon as possible, and finally let him find out the real truth.

"Really, my prince, you are my biological son. How could I not care about you?" The Queen Mother spoke sincerely, eager to make Long Mujiang believe her.

"I am the Queen Mother's biological son. Does that mean Xu Tianze is not the Queen Mother's biological son?"

The Queen Mother paused when she heard this, then denied it with a look of horror on her face: "No, he is not. My son is Long Mujiang, the most noble prince of the Dagan Kingdom."

"Ha, ha, ha, ha ha ha ha ha."

Long Mujiang laughed at first, then changed to a crazy laugh. He stood up and grabbed the empress dowager's collar: "You really are unrepentant——"

His good father worked hard and made a shocking plan just to unify the country. He was willing to give up everything for this. Human life was not worth mentioning in his father's eyes. Naturally, the concubine being bullied was just a trivial matter.

And his mother was no ordinary person. She had an affair with Xu Li and gave birth to him, but in the end she resented his father for taking her into the palace early, so she switched Xu Tianze with him. From then on, Xu Tianze, a legitimate royal blood, became Xu Li's son.

And this filthy bastard eventually became the most honorable second prince of the Gan Kingdom, and his mother was very proud of it.

Especially when she saw her good father plotting against Xu Tianze again and again, she must have felt a lot of pleasure in her heart.

"You, where did you hear that from? All of this is nonsense. Xu Tianze and I are not mother and son at all. You are my only son." The queen mother still insisted on her statement.

Even though she knew that Long Mujiang must have some evidence, as long as she denied it, Long Mujiang would not be able to completely prove it.

"Where did you get it? Of course it's the late emperor's will! Do you think father doesn't know? In fact, father planned it on purpose." Long Mujiang threw the imperial edict directly in front of the empress dowager.

What his mother called complacency was nothing but the result of careful planning by his own mother, the Empress Dowager. Everyone in the palace was loyal to the Emperor.

If you really want to know something, as this is the emperor's residence, how could the emperor not know it? He is just used to turning a blind eye.

In other words, Xu Tianze himself is not here, and Quan De is already in retirement. Otherwise, if either of them stood here, they would be recognized.

The imperial edict that the empress dowager is holding in her hand is the one that was left on the beam of the Qianqing Palace when the late emperor passed away.

"Impossible, impossible, the late emperor would not treat me like this." The empress dowager threw the imperial edict on the ground trembling, her face full of disbelief.

"How is it impossible? Isn't the explanation from above very clear? It even says that the other princes are incompetent and will give the throne to Xu Tianze in the end. What are you still questioning?" Long Mujiang's eyes were red and he looked a little embarrassed.
