"Mother Jin said that if we don't eat, it will prove that the Queen's trick has been discovered, and we will all die. The Queen will find an opportunity to kill you. If only I eat, it will prove your stupidity and filial piety. The Queen will not bother you again, and you can find another foster mother. Even if you are not favored, at least you won't be bullied by the eunuchs anymore..."
"Mother Jin is truly a clever woman. I owe my current situation to her, yet I cannot repay her for raising me and saving my life. Instead, I must worship a vicious woman like her every day!"
Emperor Jianxi sneered and gnashed his teeth.
The Queen Mother was speechless and just stared coldly at Emperor Jianxi, with provocation and fearlessness in her eyes, as if to say that she had misjudged his wolfish ambitions and that she could kill him if she wanted!
"Mother, do you think I will kill you?"
Emperor Jianxi acted as if he had heard something ridiculous. "How could I possibly do as you wish? I know what you, Queen Mother, value most. If you value the Prince of Yan, I'll have Father depose him. If you want him to be cleared of all charges, I'll have him convicted of treason and his property confiscated. If you want him to die a clean death, I'll cut him into a human pig, leaving him unable to live or die!"
Emperor Jianxi's dragon robe was grabbed, and the next second, it was ruthlessly thrown away by Emperor Jianxi.
Emperor Jianxi stood up and stood with his hands behind his back, a huge shadow covering the phoenix couch.
"I know you want me to kill you, ruin your reputation, and leave behind the infamy of matricide that will be passed down through the ages. You know, the throne can last only a lifetime, but the infamy in history will last for generations. Mother, you are truly cruel!"
"But your wish will be dashed. I will not only seek justice for my childhood and revenge for Concubine Jin's death, but I also want all my descendants to know my filial piety. I have waited too long for this day. I know that my mother is very eloquent, but I am afraid she will not be able to do so in the future. I will let you witness with your own eyes how I tortured my brothers and killed my biological mother, while leaving a lasting reputation. You will die speechless and unable to redress your grievances!"
Thinking of this, Emperor Jianxi felt more and more happy. A man who killed his mother and brother enjoys the reputation of filial piety for all eternity. Hahahaha, so happy!
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Jianxi in fear.
Then, she looked to Nanny Sun for help, "Ah...ah..."
Unexpectedly, Nanny Sun remained indifferent.
The Queen Mother suddenly realized something, and her old face instantly lost all vitality, becoming gray and decayed. But just like Emperor Jianxi said, she couldn't live or die...
He was so humble and destitute that he couldn't even decide his own life or death.
Emperor Jianxi came to his senses and said, "Let's do it!"
"I obey your command."
After saying this, Nanny Sun raised her hand and tore off a piece of skin from her cheek, revealing her true face. That face was exactly like the empress dowager's, only a little younger...
The Queen Mother's eyes were completely split.
Emperor Jianxi kindly explained her doubts, "Mother, do you still remember the legend of your family, the two-headed monk named Dou?"
"Your Dou family has a family history, and naturally the Zhao family does too. Back then, when the two-headed monk was beheaded and split apart, our ancestors were worried about Dou Yang's power, so they left a secluded piece of land to Dou Yin's descendants, and no one knew about it. I only learned about it thanks to the well-read father-in-law of the Wei family. Speaking of which, your Dou family is quite interesting, with faces that grow up like mirror images. It really makes me happy..."
"Madame Sun has been with the Queen Mother for many years, and has learned everything she says and does. Using her to replace you is the most appropriate."
At this point, the Queen Mother understood everything.
The fear, hatred, surprise, and provocation in the Queen Mother's eyes... were ultimately buried by deep fear.
Forty years... Forty years ago, he had planned to take her!
What a terrible scheming and cunning mind!
Hiding quietly for forty years!
The Queen Mother felt a chill on her spine, and then the chill spread to her thighs. She was so scared that she peed her pants.
When Nanny Sun lifted the quilt, she frowned in disgust.
Emperor Jianxi sneered when he saw this.
"I originally wanted to wait until my younger brother, Prince Shou, was older before doing this, but Xiaomin is coming back. Mother, you know that Xiaomin is still alive," Emperor Jianxi's voice became gentle. "Mother, it's not as you wish. I will continue to love my husband and wife and have no regrets until the end..."
The rain outside is getting heavier.
The guards at the door felt even colder when they saw that the imperial guards brought by Emperor Jianxi were all wearing straw raincoats, and they couldn't help but resent the captain of the guards.
Suddenly, the steward Wu came out of the room and called a few imperial guards over. Not long after, the imperial guards carried out something covered with a white cloth. The drizzle wet the white cloth, revealing a figure.
Wu Yonggui held up an umbrella and called out to the imperial guards, "Hurry up!"
When they reached the door, the chief guard asked, "Butler Wu, what's going on?"
Wu Yonggui sneered, "An old woman who doesn't know how to live or die, I don't know whose power she relied on, dared to offend His Majesty, and was sentenced to death by His Majesty!"
Wu Yonggui's smile seemed to be alluding to someone.
The captain of the guards felt a chill all over his body, thinking that maybe His Majesty was just angry with him and couldn't help but vent his anger on someone else?
The guards nearby glanced timidly at the captain of the guards.
The captain of the guards naturally did not dare to stop Wu Yonggui, and Wu Yonggui left with his men in a swagger.
A group of guards stood guard at the door, terrified.
Soon, the captain of the guards seemed to have thought of something and chased after him.
Hall of Light.
A loud thunder.
The little guy raised his two little fists and shrank back when he heard the sound. Zhao Ying quickly reached out and patted him, and the little guy's frown relaxed.
Zhao Ying got out of bed, put on her clothes, took an umbrella, and went out alone.
The emperor must go to the Cining Palace to serve tonight. The weather is cold and the roads are slippery. The emperor is also old. It would be better if she could go to the Cining Palace to take a look and replace the emperor.
In fact, Zhao Ying felt more unwilling in her heart, because the Queen Mother was the former Queen, so even if she did so many evil things to her father and humiliated her father, she could be safe and sound. But if her father treated her badly, he would be scolded!
