Chapter 618 You are an ungrateful wolf
When she saw Li Gu being thrown out, Concubine Wang's eyelids shrank and she opened her mouth to continue her defense.
The Queen Mother made another gesture.
Bang--
Another person was thrown out and rolled twice on the ground before stopping. His brown brocade clothes were in disarray.
The man raised his head in pain and met the Queen Dowager's eyes.
When she saw the man's face clearly, the Princess Dowager's mouth, which had just opened, froze, her pupils trembled violently, and her hands that were supporting the ground suddenly lost their strength.
"Manager Jin of the Imperial Fragrance Shop," the Queen Mother walked back to the seat of honor and sat down again, elegantly gathering her sleeves. She glared at the old woman's changed expression below with a look of mockery and disdain. "She's an old acquaintance of yours, right? If I hadn't tricked you out this time, I wouldn't have known you were colluding with outsiders!"
The moment she saw Manager Jin, Queen Dowager Wang knew that her plan had been exposed and all her hidden secrets were revealed.
Her face was pale, but even in her confused mind she still grasped the key points of the Queen Mother's words.
Staring at the Queen Mother, she murmured blankly, "A trick?"
"Yes, we must use a trick. Otherwise, how can we force you to reveal your wolf's tail buried deep in the ground?" A man's majestic voice echoed from within the hall. Behind the curtained door connecting to the inner hall, a man dressed in an intricately patterned black royal attire strode out. "Queen Dowager, are you shocked to see me still alive?"
The Queen Dowager's expression changed drastically again, and she screamed, "Your Majesty? You're not dead?!"
"Oh my, if he really died, wouldn't it be a stupid death? If that were the case, if he knew that he was being plotted against by the poisonous scorpion hiding beside him, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of the king's tomb even after his death!" Behind the Human King, the messy-haired old man took 28 steps, like a crab walking sideways, arrogant and proud.
Behind the old man, other people walked out slowly one after another.
The Queen Mother stared at the people who walked out, her nostrils flaring violently and the muscles at the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably.
Su Jiuni! Bai Yu! Huo Guidi! Su Wu!
And her good son, Bai Xiaofeng!
All here!
They are all here!
When the entire Human Kingdom went out to search for their whereabouts, they didn't go anywhere but hid in the palace of the Human King!
No wonder people outside can’t find any trace of them!
No wonder the Queen Mother imposed martial law in the palace, but ordered the delivery of rich meals, tea and fruits to the palace three times a day!
She was cheated!
Everyone was deceived!
What about the Queen Mother being unable to bear the pain of losing her son and going crazy?! It was all a scheme! It was a scheme from the moment the Human King was abducted!
"Hahaha! Hahaha!" After the shock subsided, a strong resentment surged in her heart. The Concubine Dowager laughed wildly, her eyes as cold as if they were filled with poison.
She propped herself up and slowly glanced at the people on the steps of the hall. Her frail and miserable look was gone, and she snorted with a cold laugh. "I don't know what you're talking about. The King and the Queen Mother dislike me. After the late King passed away, I treated me harshly for decades without a trace of resentment. In my twilight years, I just want a place to stay in the palace and wait for my death. You can't even tolerate this, and yet you have so many people banding together to deal with a helpless old woman like me? Hahaha! How ridiculous!"
"You're still stubborn even when death is imminent!" The Human King threw a dime of gold in front of her, and the gold nugget hit the ground with a thud. "If you don't tell me, others will! This gold nugget is your signal to the Xiongnu! Shopkeeper Jin is a Xiongnu spy who has been lurking in my Human King City for a long time! After receiving your signal, he will go to a certain location to pick up the order you hid in advance!"
After saying that, the Hu Man King took out the intercepted note and unfolded it. There were a few strokes of ink on it, and it was clearly written "Execute the Prince"!
The Queen Mother saw the note without any reaction and sneered, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext."
"Hu Xiaodie," the Queen Mother said, her lips thick with sarcasm. "You were once a servant. At a young age, you were selected for your outstanding appearance and trained as a spy. Your job was to use your beauty to gain intelligence. The Hu Man royal family taught you the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and because of this, your Hu family was able to rise above their servant status and prosper. In this regard, the Hu Man and you each benefited from it, so it's normal that you feel no gratitude towards the Hu Man royal family."
She paused for a moment, and contempt naturally surfaced again, "But what about Mo Xiuyi? He treated you well all those years. It's not an exaggeration to say that he loved you in every way!
You were suspected of the theft of the Mo family's collection of books, and Mo Xiuyi had already guessed that it was you who did it.
He advised you to return the stolen items, and he was willing to share the punishment with you and never leave you. But when you found out that you were exposed, you didn't care about the years of love between you and your husband and wife, and you knocked him unconscious and burned him to death!
Later, I realized you weren't so vicious because you were afraid of being punished after being exposed. You were driven by a desire to climb higher! You simply weren't content to be just an ordinary wife of a direct descendant of the Mohist sect. You wanted to sit high and be worshipped! Enjoy wealth and splendor, and hold the power over life and death!
That's why I have looked down upon you from the beginning to the end!
It’s not because you schemed to become a concubine and share the king’s favor, but because I knew at that time that you were an ungrateful person who could never be tamed!
In order to fulfill her ambition, she did not hesitate to kill her husband with her own hands, and even gave up her own son!
You are more poisonous than the most poisonous hook-tailed scorpion in the desert!"
The Queen Mother blurted out the secrets of the Mohist school, and Tianbao and the others all looked gloomy.
On the contrary, Bai Xiaofeng, the person involved, looked calm and composed, as if he was listening to someone else's story.
The Queen Mother glanced at him uncontrollably, and when she met his indifferent gaze, she felt as if ice had settled somewhere in her heart, and it was extremely cold.
The Queen Mother continued, "You always leave yourself a way out when you do things. I don't know when and why you colluded with the Xiongnu, but because of your personal grudge against my mother and me, you turned around and colluded with foreign enemies to murder your own king, helping them invade your own land. After I found out, I was not surprised at all. You could do this. You are a traitor in your bones!"
The Hu Man King waved his sleeves and said, "Come here, take them away and keep them under strict supervision! Execute them on a later date!"
The palace guards immediately entered the hall, arrested Concubine Dowager Wang and Manager Jin, and prepared to take them away.
The Queen Dowager's feet were nailed to the ground, her resentful eyes fixed on Bai Xiaofeng. She couldn't force a smile anymore and demanded in a hateful tone, "Bai Xiaofeng, do you really want to watch them treat me like this? I'm your biological mother, you were my child! Do you really not care about the mother-son relationship at all?"
Bai Xiaofeng put his hands behind his back and looked at the dying old woman calmly, "You're right, I was born by you, so my heart is as hard as yours. From the moment you set that fire, you are no longer my mother."
When he said this, there was no emotion on his face, in his eyes, or in his heart.
He didn't lie.
Long ago, when he restrained himself from digging for the truth, she had already changed beyond recognition in his memory.
He saw that Haitang Yinzan came voluntarily, not for a reunion.
He came to see with his own eyes what he meant to his mother.
This disgusting kinship is something that cannot be abandoned.
