Chapter 334 Settlement of Accounts
At that time, my mother also mentioned her feelings to me. The unexpected expression and behavior of the emperor during the audience made her feel that the emperor could also hear Zhiyu's thoughts!
Jiang Kangan glanced at the ignorant Jiang Zhiyu.
If Zhiyu's thoughts were heard by the emperor, then no matter how much the emperor doted on Zhiyu, he would never tolerate her. How could
he allow others to sleep soundly beside his bed?
Moreover, it was such a scandal. The emperor would definitely kill everyone who knew about it, without exception.
...
Inside the palace, the princes left the palace one after another. Fuping looked at the emperor who was sitting on the chair and stroking his forehead with his hand, and approached carefully: "Your Majesty, the
Queen Mother is of noble status after all, and she has not been imprisoned. She is now in Cining Palace, being watched by several Jinyiwei. Your Majesty..." In fact, there is no such thing as noble or not. Prince Yu is also of noble status, but he is still in prison.
It's just that those people remembered how the emperor listened to the Queen Mother before, and they were afraid that the emperor was just angry for a while, and he would be angry later.
The emperor naturally knew what they were thinking. He looked tired, but still stood up: "Go and have a look."
Fuping followed him closely, rubbing his waist slightly.
"You are not pretending?"
The emperor looked at him with a little surprise.
Fuping: "..."
"Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me. I was hit on the waist and I almost never saw Your Majesty again."
Why was he pretending?
And this thief didn't know how to use his strength!
Can his body withstand such torture? !
Emperor: "..."
What did Zhiyu mean by acting?
"When we go back, let the imperial physician, no, let Zhiyu take a look at you."
Fuping looked flattered. If he let Jiang Zhiyu take a look at him, wouldn't the old illness that troubled him for many years be cured?
His expression of joy was too obvious, and the emperor chuckled and scolded him, "What a shame."
"When we were together in Yu's study before, you two got along well. Even if I didn't ask, she wouldn't refuse if you asked."
Fu Ping agreed, "Your Majesty is right, but now Jiang Yu is busy with his work, and he came to Yu's study for important matters. I can just bear with these minor illnesses, how can I waste her time?"
The emperor couldn't help laughing, "If she is busy, there will be no idle people in the whole capital."
Fu Ping didn't respond, and continued to rub his waist slightly.
The two walked and talked, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at Cining Palace.
As he entered the palace, the smile on the emperor's face suddenly faded. His eyes were stern, and he had the majesty of a superior. His aura was so strong that people dared not raise their heads.
The guards of the Imperial Guards knelt on the ground, and the Queen Mother heard the noise and ran out from the inner hall.
"My son, my son," the Queen Mother grabbed the emperor's sleeve tightly, half of her body paralyzed on the ground: "Although you are not my biological child, I have raised you for many years. You are not my biological child, but you are better than my biological child."
"Don't listen to Prince Yu's nonsense. I didn't know anything from beginning to end!"
The emperor let her hold him, waved his hand lightly, and Fuping and the Imperial Guards retreated.
Now there are only two of them left in the huge Cining Palace.
The emperor looked down at her: "You don't know? Then tell me, who gave you the drug, and how did the queen die?"
The queen mother shook her head desperately: "I don't know. Prince Yu has so many tricks. Since he can bribe your ministers, it is not impossible that there are a few of his people in the palace!"
"You are right," compared to the queen mother's hidden madness, the emperor was much calmer: "Of course there are his people in the palace. The list in Fuping's hand is clearly written, so I ordered people to deal with it before today's palace banquet. Could it be that the wronged spirit gave you the drug?" The queen mother
was stunned for a moment, still shaking her head desperately: "I don't know, I don't know!"
There seemed to be a strong wind outside the palace, howling, and it came into the palace, as if someone was crying.
The strong wind blew through the open window, extinguishing several candles, making the emperor's face even gloomy.
But his tone can almost be described as joyful.
"Since you don't know, then I will talk to you about something you know. How did your child disappear?"
The Queen Mother's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously loosened her hand that was holding his sleeve. After
a few breaths, the Queen Mother spoke forcefully: "You said, of course it's because of you. If I hadn't visited you that day, I would not have had an abortion!"
Although she said so, a trace of fear flashed across her eyes.
"Because of me?" As if he had heard something extremely ridiculous, the Emperor laughed out loud, and the Queen Mother could no longer hide the fear in her eyes, and looked at him steadily.
He said this, could it be that he had grasped some clues?
No, it's impossible, so many years have passed, it's impossible to find out!
She trembled unconsciously, and the emperor's laughter stopped after a while. He half-knelt in front of the empress dowager and pinched her face. The empress dowager struggled violently, but the emperor's hand did not move.
"To this day, you are still lying to me, Wan Ziling. You have never taken me to heart from the beginning to the end!"
The empress dowager - Wan Ziling's face turned pale, her lips trembled, but she could not say a word of rebuttal.
"When my father handed me over to you, you took good care of me on the surface, but privately, you let your confidants secretly target me and put chronic poison in my food."
As he spoke, Wan Ziling's body trembled even more violently.
"Later, you learned from the imperial physician that you were pregnant with a stillbirth, and then you thought of me."
"First, you called me over and secretly gave me medicine. When I was drowsy, you pretended to be pushed down by me and put the blame on me."
"I feel guilty about you, so you don't have to pretend to be a loving mother. You always beat and scold me, but no one dares to blame you. Even your father won't say anything about it."
"After all," the emperor looked at her with a cold voice, "you are the one who raised the murderer who killed your son."
"What a good plan, Wan Ziling. If you were a man, it's hard to say who would be sitting on the throne now."
The hand that was holding her was so strong that it almost crushed her. Knowing that he had already investigated the matter clearly, Wan Ziling laughed.
"Yes, now, I have lost," Wan Ziling stared at him, "but in the past few decades, I have won!"
"Your mother and I are enemies who cannot tolerate each other. After her death, her son called me mother. You can't imagine how disgusted I was and how happy I was every time I heard it!"
The emperor said nothing.
Wan Ziling naturally couldn't bear to see him so calm, and continued: "Especially later, because of my plan, you followed me in every way and tried to please me in every way, just like a dog. Every time I saw it, I would laugh in my heart for a long time!"
Perhaps knowing that her death was coming, Wan Ziling shouted with all her might.
The emperor looked at her quietly and suddenly smiled.
