Tian An was so angry that he almost laughed after hearing these words. It was just a mere meeting, but it made such a fuss.
Thinking about how the Queen Mother was so angry that she wanted to strangle her to death with her own hands, it was a shame that the Queen Mother had the nerve to say such a lie as "loved her very much" with her eyes open.
A sentence said that if she didn't go, it would mean she was not a good person, so the queen refused to let her go.
I'm afraid this old witch is up to no good today. After all, this is someone else's territory. Tian An didn't dare to be arrogant. He stood up and said softly, "Sir, can you wait a little longer? My Duke is in the Imperial Study discussing official business with the Emperor and hasn't come yet. As soon as he comes, we'll go over immediately."
The old eunuch smiled respectfully, but the words he spoke could not be refused, "Madam, although the Empress Dowager dotes on you, it is not appropriate to keep her waiting for too long."
Look at what she said, isn't it obvious that if she doesn't go, she will be arrogant and disrespectful to the elderly!
Now it seems that the other party came specifically when Zhao Yiming was not with her.
But she couldn't understand why the old witch asked the queen for the person directly. Wasn't she afraid that the queen would go to the emperor?
Before Tian An could think more, the old eunuch urged again, "Madam, the Empress Dowager is still waiting!"
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was about to speak up for her, Tian An didn't want to embarrass her and be impeached by the censor for disrespecting the Empress Dowager, so he stepped forward and said, "If that's the case, then of course it's not good to keep the Empress Dowager waiting for too long.
Anping will go to the Empress Dowager first, and ask the Imperial Aunt to tell my Duke later so that he won't look for me."
The Queen didn't know what to say. She turned around and glanced at Yaoyao and said, "Yaoyao, you may not see your Royal Grandmother again. This time, go with your cousin to see your Royal Grandmother!"
No matter what the Queen Mother wanted to do, with Yaoyao accompanying her, she had to be cautious and give her time to inform the Emperor.
Tian An understood the Queen's intention without much thought. Although Yaoyao didn't understand why, she felt that her mother was right. She stepped forward, took Tian An's hand and said, "Then let's go together!"
The princess wanted to visit her grandmother, and the old eunuch couldn't find the words to refuse, so he had to take her back with him.
On the way, Tian An quietly reminded Yaoyao just in case, "If the Queen Mother invites us to eat later, you must watch my movements and eat whatever I eat. If I don't move, you can't move either."
Yaoyao always listened to Tian An, and since she was not close to the empress dowager, she nodded in agreement without thinking much.
In the Queen Mother's bedroom.
As soon as the two entered, the Queen Mother, contrary to her usual behavior, started chatting with them, as if those things had never happened, as if she really "loved Tian An very much."
Less than a quarter of an hour after the two of them arrived, the palace servants had prepared a table full of delicious food.
The Queen Mother, with a kind look on her face, gently pulled the two of them to the table. "You came out early, you must be starving! Let's talk while we eat."
Tian An casually glanced at the food, reached out to pick up some food very considerately, and invited Yaoyao to eat, and even picked up some food for the Queen Mother. Anyone who saw it would think that this was a happy family scene of respecting the elderly and loving the young.
Just as the two of them had happily filled their stomachs, Yaoyao pointed at Tian An and said in confusion, "How come there are two An An sisters?"
Then he lay down directly on the dining table.
Looking at Tian An again, he had already lost consciousness.
The originally kind queen mother's face turned cold in an instant. She threw the chopsticks on the table with a "bang", raised her hand and waved behind her, and four men in black came out immediately.
"Take it away!"
One of them carried Tian An on his shoulders and headed towards the Buddhist temple in the side hall. The other three looked at Yaoyao and asked, "What should we do with her?"
The Queen Mother's face showed a fierce look, "A few years ago, I had her kidnapped, but unfortunately she was lucky enough to be rescued and she even ran back on her own.
Now that she has come to me on her own initiative, I can’t blame her.”
The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Take them all away!"
One of them carried Yaoyao on his back and walked towards the Buddhist temple.
The remaining two tried to persuade the Queen Mother to come with them, "Your Majesty, from now on, you and the dog emperor have completely torn their faces apart. He will not let you have an easy time. Please come with us!"
The Queen Mother shook her head. "Don't worry! My adopted son won't kill me. I'll be waiting for him in this palace, watching him kick the emperor off the throne and take his place."
After saying that, he waved to the two of them and said, "I think my adopted son will be here soon, so you should leave quickly!"
Don’t lose anyone this time.”
The two looked at each other, walked quickly towards the Buddhist hall, and went down the tunnel behind the altar where the statue of Guanyin was enshrined.
The empress dowager's personal maid restored the altar to its original state, then stood behind the empress dowager, who was already meditating on the cushion, beating the wooden fish, and twirling the Buddhist beads, with her head bowed.
The two of them looked so focused and pious that they seemed to be truly devoted Buddhists.
This was the scene that the emperor and Zhao Yiming saw when they arrived. Unfortunately, they saw Hongtong, Xiangtao and others still lying unconscious on the ground in the front hall.
They didn't even bother to say polite words. The emperor looked at the empress dowager, who was still meditating on the cushion with a pious look on her face, and asked directly, "Where are Yaoyao and Anping?"
The Empress Dowager slowly opened her eyes and asked, "Does the Emperor no longer want to call her 'Queen'?"
Seeing that she was still stubborn, the emperor said no more and waved his hand to order the search.
Unfortunately, half a cup of tea had passed and the secret guards had found nothing.
The emperor pointed at the old woman who had kept her head down beside the empress dowager and said, "Take her away for interrogation."
It happened in a flash. Just before the secret guards took action, the old lady, who was originally frail, suddenly raised her head, with a fierce look on her face, and with a nimble posture, she pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed at the emperor.
The incident happened too quickly, and the secret guards had no time to stop it. Only Zhao Yiming, who was closest, took action to fight with the nanny.
The nanny was quite skilled, at least Deng Xue was no match for her. Unfortunately, she was no match for Zhao Yiming and was subdued in two rounds.
The Queen Mother didn't even blink at this, but simply stopped beating the wooden fish and said, "I've already told you this won't work, but you just don't believe me."
The old nanny sighed, "I am too arrogant."
He immediately wanted to bite out the poison hidden between his teeth and put an end to it once and for all.
Unfortunately, she became arrogant again. How could Zhao Yiming, who had suffered so many losses, let her succeed?
Not even bothering to use his hands, he just kicked her and broke her jaw.
The Queen Mother remained indifferent to this, as cold-blooded as a stone statue.
It was only then that the emperor saw clearly that the woman he had called mother for so many years was actually so cold-blooded.
It seems that the fear, stupidity, and even pitifulness she has shown over the years were all fake!
