Chapter 209: True Face Revealed
When the Queen Mother mentioned this old story, Emperor Jing of Wei became even more indifferent: "Queen Mother, don't forget that when you were almost discovered, if I hadn't managed to infect the late Queen with a serious disease, you probably wouldn't be alive today, right?"
This was the first time the Queen Mother knew about this. She had always thought that it was her luck because when the late Queen was about to discover her, she suddenly fell ill and was about to die.
Unexpectedly, it was Emperor Jing of Wei, who was still a prince at the time, who did it.
Even the Queen Mother did not expect that Emperor Jing of Wei could be so cruel.
"You, you..." The Queen Mother was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
When the late queen was alive, she was very kind to Su Lin. Su Yi, who was the crown prince at the time, also took good care of his younger brother.
Su Lin, who was usually cautious, acted innocent and harmless. Compared with his mother, he was obviously closer to the late queen and the prince. Unexpectedly, the person who killed the late queen was him.
Emperor Jing of Wei looked at the Queen Mother's surprise and said sarcastically, "Even though the Queen Mother has so many concubines, her methods have not changed at all. You don't want to see my prince born, but you are worried that you won't be able to sit on the throne in the future and can't help the Lian family. I understand all this, but Queen Mother, you have to understand that no emperor wants to see a situation where foreign relatives interfere."
The Queen Mother understood the ambition and cruelty behind Emperor Jing of Wei's cold face and said, "Your Majesty, you can't just cross the river and then burn the bridge."
"Queen Dowager, didn't you destroy the bridges you crossed over to the late Queen? You were able to succeed only because she trusted you. I am your son, and my character is naturally the same as yours. I can imagine what you will do, so, Queen Dowager, please don't do anything that will make me angry in the future."
After a pause, Emperor Jing of Wei continued, "Otherwise, I don't mind letting you get sick again."
Listening to Emperor Jing of Wei's threats, the Queen Mother could hardly believe that this was her own son. It seemed as if she had never seen Emperor Jing of Wei clearly.
It's like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, waiting for its chance to strike.
"I understand." The Queen Mother finally softened her attitude.
Emperor Jing of Wei smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, I know in my heart who should take over the world of Dayu. You don't need to worry about it. As for Su Chenyu, I also want to get rid of this daughter. If the Empress Dowager uses such a clumsy method again, it will embarrass me."
The Queen Mother couldn't believe what she heard, and she couldn't help shrinking her body, not even daring to look at Emperor Jing of Wei. She had never thought that there would be a day when she would be afraid of her son.
"I'll leave the Prince's full moon banquet to you, Queen Mother. If you don't want the Yun Guifei incident to get any bigger, Queen Mother, you know what to do, right?"
The Queen Mother nodded slowly, which made Emperor Jing of Wei very satisfied: "Queen Mother, you are my mother. All your glory and wealth are because of me, so you must make the right choice."
The empress dowager's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly understood the implied meaning of Emperor Jing of Wei. Emperor Jing of Wei was fed up with the existence of the "夌 family" and would never allow another "夌 family" to appear.
But in this case, what should the Lian family do?
Emperor Jing of Wei sat up straight. He glanced at the Queen Mother and knew what she was thinking: "Queen Mother, if the Lian Family can be an obedient chess piece, I will protect the Lian Family and make them stand firm. But I hope you will remember that the Lian Family can only be chess pieces forever!"
No matter how unwilling the Queen Mother was, she had to accept it. Emperor Jing of Wei talked to her frankly on that day, giving her and the Lian family a last chance.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Lian family will never betray you." This was the promise made by the Queen Mother.
After getting the answer he wanted, Emperor Jing of Wei closed his eyes. But the Queen Mother was never calm again during the rest of the journey...
In Baiqi Mansion, Yao Zhixue walked into Beiyuan carrying a food box, saying that she knew Su Chenyu had returned to Beijing early, so she personally prepared some snacks and sent them over.
