Chapter 79: Cruel Emperor vs. Deadly Sister (5)

After Shi Yi coaxed little boy Zhao Jinyuan to sleep, she went out of the palace and saw that it was already dark.

Needless to say, the palace gate had been closed for a long time.

If she couldn't leave the palace, her mother would be very worried about her.

When Shi Yi was secretly worried, the eldest princess who had been waiting for her for a long time walked into the room and motioned for her to go out with her.

"You can talk here safely." The eldest princess took her to the backyard of the palace, which had been cleaned up by her people in advance to ensure that their conversation was absolutely safe.

"Mother, how long have you been in the palace?" Shi Yi was a little embarrassed. She actually forgot the time to leave the palace and made her relatives worry.

"Not long." The princess caressed her daughter's hair lovingly, "I just missed you a lot after not seeing you for a while."

"I'm sorry to have worried my mother." Shi Yi hugged one of her arms and said coquettishly, "My daughter missed you a lot, too."

"Don't I know what you're thinking?" The princess reached out and touched her forehead, sighing, "You, you..."

Since her daughter punished the maid in the palace of the young prince last time, she knew that the relationship between the two was definitely extraordinary.

"My daughter just wanted to protect the young prince. He is alone in the palace without anyone to rely on, and is bullied by those palace people. It's really pitiful." Shi Yi raised her head, and her eyebrows could vaguely see her future appearance.

The princess stroked her face that looked 50% like her late husband, and her heart was full of mixed emotions.

"I'm afraid you've given your heart to the wrong person."

How many dynasties have changed in this palace? The princes who were frustrated in their youth have become shrewd and calculating emperors after baptism. They don't recognize their relatives and are cruel and ruthless. This is not uncommon.

In her life, she did not ask her daughter to continue to be rich and prosperous, but only to be safe and healthy.

"I just want to have a clear conscience." Shi Yi looked at the stars in the sky, and looked a little mature.

The princess felt a little uncomfortable. It was her who pushed her most precious daughter into the fire pit of the palace.

"My son." She held Shi Yi's hands tightly. She had a lot to say, but she didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, mother." Shi Yi pulled out his hand and patted the back of her hand. There was a kind of calming power in his eyes. "I have no intention of fighting in the palace. I just want to protect the safety of the little prince."

"I'm afraid that you can't help yourself." The princess looked at the moon and thought of the poor and pitiful queen.

Unexpectedly, many years later, her words really came true.

The night was deep.

In the Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Zhao had just finished reviewing the memorials, and his brows were full of fatigue. The queen, dressed up, came slowly.

"Queen, I am tired." Emperor Zhao rubbed his brows, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"I am not here for the sake of flattery." The queen raised her eyebrows, looking very beautiful.

Recently, Emperor Zhao has favored the daughter of Zhang Wen, the Minister of the Dali Temple. She is so weak that she feels upset when she sees her.

But Emperor Zhao, influenced by his mother, loves the weak concubine the most and does not like her temperament. Seeing her like this, he was annoyed, "What's the matter, Queen?"

"Your Majesty is still determined to make the second son the crown prince?" The queen narrowed her eyes slightly, with an aggressive attitude.

The loneliness of staying alone in an empty room for these years has made her realize that the emperor's heart is not something she can get, so she tried her best to seize power and collude with ministers in the court, just to ensure the prosperity of her mother's family.

As long as her mother's family continues to prosper, Emperor Zhao will not dare to touch her position as queen. Then she is still the most honorable woman in the harem, the most honorable woman in the world.

"I only have this one son left now." Emperor Zhao's eyes widened, his hands clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed.

He sent people to investigate the cause of death of the eldest son and found that it was inextricably linked to the person in front of him.

This was the child she had raised for ten years, and he could be so cruel. He didn't know if he would have such an ending one day.

"But I still have no offspring." The queen pulled the corner of her mouth, smiling.

Everyone in the palace knew that she doted on the eldest son and would respond to his every request, but only she knew how much hatred she had in her heart every time she saw the eldest son's face that looked like his biological mother.

An unknown concubine actually gave birth to a pair of twins behind her back, which was a challenge to her authority as the queen.

Emperor Zhao was like a wounded tiger, begging softly: "He is still young, why is the queen so cruel?"

Poor his son, who came to this world and there was no one around him who was sincere to him.

"Your Majesty was unkind to me first." A flash of sadness passed through the queen's eyes.

How could she have no feelings for the child she raised with her own hands?

On the day when the eldest prince died, she stood alone in the mourning hall for a long time, but she couldn't be blamed for all this. If she

had to blame someone, she had to blame Emperor Zhao.

She and Emperor Zhao used to have a harmonious relationship. Since her family became more and more adept at fighting and their contributions became greater and greater, Emperor Zhao became more and more wary.

Later, he doted on the concubines and suppressed her, leaving her, the queen, with no prestige in the harem.

She had to fight for it. Otherwise, she would be trampled under the feet of those lowly new favorites and trample on the dignity of her Rong family.

"But why did you implicate a child!" Emperor Zhao hung his head, looking decadent. It was his fault.

At the beginning, if it weren't for him, if it weren't for him...

"Your Majesty lost a son and still has another son, but what do I have besides the position of queen?" The queen stood in front of him, her eyes red, and she was rarely out of control.

"Isn't power enough?" Emperor Zhao's eyes were sharp, "Isn't the glory of the Rong family enough?"

"No, not enough, I want more than just power." The queen directly overturned the memorial in front of him, "What I want is a unique position that no one can compare to."

"How outrageous." Emperor Zhao stood up straight and was about to slap her.

The queen grabbed his hand, with a rare charm in her eyes, "Your Majesty, please save your energy. My brother and father are not vegetarians. Beating his wife is an unforgivable sin for an emperor." Then, she slowly let him go.

Emperor Zhao was filled with anger, and he fell to his seat, pointing his finger directly at her face, "Rong, you...you..."

"Hahaha..." The queen suddenly laughed and laughed until tears came out, "Your Majesty is not feeling well, you should rest well recently."

She finally made this decision.

Since she can't have love, let her have the supreme power.

"Mighty soldiers...Eunuch Wu..." Emperor Zhao called out to his own people anxiously.

"The people in the Qinzheng Palace have been mine for a long time." The queen looked crazy, with veins on her forehead, "If you stay here with peace of mind, you may stay longer."

She, Rong Xu, was going to be the first woman in the history of the Jin Dynasty to rule the country from behind the curtain.
