Emperor Feng sat down calmly.
Look at the Buddha statue.
"Mother, you have done many bad things."
"Including me, I was also shaped by you."
"You were the one who told me that if I want something, I need to get it by any means necessary. There is no such thing as free charity in this world. Only by fighting and grabbing can I get what I want."
"When I was young, I was not favored and was always bullied. My mother told me to be patient and dormant. Now I have to remember the appearance and faces of those people. When I find a backer and grow up, I must not let go of those who bullied me. It was also my mother who told me to make friends with Xiao Ning and find a way to get help from the Ning Palace."
"Mother, have you forgotten everything?"
Emperor Feng smiled bitterly.
He was trained by the Queen Mother herself.
But now, it seemed like he made all the mistakes.
"Yes, it is indeed me."
"But how can you be so heartless?"
"Tell me, was it you who killed the old Prince Ning?!"
"It's me."
"You beast!!!" The Queen Mother clutched her chest, feeling an immense pain in her heart. She trembled and said, "How could you do such a heartless thing? Have you forgotten who single-handedly supported you to the throne?"
"Great kindness is like great hatred..."
"It was also my mother who taught me to cut off all feelings and love."
"Avoid personal feelings and strengthen the public office."
"When I was young, I fell in love with my wet nurse. It was my mother who told me personally that I couldn't let my personal feelings ruin my future. She even beat her to death right in front of me. Mother, have you forgotten everything?"
"Shut up, shut up!!!"
The Queen Mother trembled all over.
Scenes from the past appeared in my mind.
She came from the Gu family and was not favored by the previous emperor.
Although she is called the imperial concubine, in reality, she is only seen a few times a year.
Fortunately, her belly was fertile and she gave birth to a son safely.
I never thought that the baby would be stillborn when it was born...
Unwilling to be trapped in the cold palace, she ordered Gu Shuang to rush out of the palace and bring back a baby boy, who would become Emperor Feng. As the saying goes, a mother's status is elevated by her son, and she finally secured a firm foothold in the harem. Emperor Feng was incredibly intelligent and gifted. At the age of three, he knew a thousand words and could recite poetry by the age of five.
His martial arts skills are even more impeccable.
Even the palace guards were full of praise for it.
But his talent was so great that he was oppressed by the Prince's faction. The Empress Dowager was helpless and could only let him endure and lie dormant. Life in the palace required constant attention, and even the smallest incidents were magnified. Finally, the Empress Dowager discovered that Emperor Feng was having an affair with his wet nurse. In a rage, she beat her to death...
"Mother, you and I are the same person."
"I am where I am today, all thanks to you."
"Have you done enough dirty things over the years?"
"Do you think that fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures can offset the sins you've committed over the years? Even if you smash this wooden fish, it won't atone for your sins. It was you who abandoned your own flesh and blood and brought me back to the palace. It was you who made me sever my ties of love and kill my father and brother. And because of your momentary thought, I had no choice but to kill old Prince Ning! All of this is because of you! I finally secured the throne, and you're asking me to give it up?"
Rumble...
Thunder exploded again.
The rain outside is getting heavier.
The Queen Mother trembled all over and was speechless.
Because what the Emperor said was right...
It seems like all this was caused by her!
"You've never liked me."
"Because you and I have no blood relationship."
"I also know that you favor Ning Que."
"Because he is the only flesh and blood of the old King Ning."
"When I was young, I often wondered why you couldn't just favor me. I could pretend I knew nothing, but you chose to stab me in the heart. You constantly reminded me that I was a pathetic creature who didn't know my father or mother!"
"The Gu family holds the upper hand, making you fear them. And you also want to use this to control me and make me obey you. I didn't want to do these things, but I have no choice."
Emperor Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, it seemed as if a decision had been made.
He clapped his hands.
The locked door was pushed open.
The masked guard slowly walked in.
Lift the wooden box high above your head.
After putting it on the table, he stepped back consciously.
Emperor Feng walked over step by step.
He raised his hand and opened the wooden box.
Inside was an exquisite jade pendant.
It is obvious that it was the work of a master craftsman in the palace.
There is a dragon pattern on the front.
The word "Ning" is engraved on the back.
"This jade pendant was given to my mother by my father."
"Because the Queen Mother gave birth to a prince."
"But the Queen Mother gave the jade pendant to Gu Shuang."
"And this letter, written in your own handwriting."
"The exact time you gave birth to the prince, he died right after birth. And there's the birthmark of a true prince: seven black moles on his feet, like the Big Dipper. But I don't have that..."
Emperor Feng sat down with a self-deprecating look.
"What will I do if this document gets out?"
"Mother, you never truly considered me your own flesh and blood. You could have destroyed all traces, but for the sake of your family and to control me, you left them behind."
After saying that.
He raised his hand.
Use candlelight to light the document.
At the same time, he put the jade pendant away.
The Queen Mother just stared blankly at the scene before her.
Didn't even dare to stop it.
He was completely suppressed by Emperor Feng's aura.
"Where did you get these from?"
"Of course it's in the Gu family's ancestral hall." Emperor Feng raised a smile as warm as a spring breeze. "Gu Shuang gave this item to Gu Mingzhi, and he hid it in the Gu family's ancestral hall. He thought he was doing it secretly, but he didn't know it was all under my nose. Over the years, the Empress Dowager has often rewarded the Gu family, which also allowed me to place people there."
