"I will obey your order!"
A gentleman will die for his friend! The emperor's words moved him deeply.
It is their great fortune to meet such a wise ruler as Your Majesty!
Li Cunxiao was very emotional, with tears in his eyes. He ordered others to control the surrendered soldiers and register them one by one.
With a command, hands raised and swords fell, heads rolled and blood flowed like a river in front of the Yong'an Palace.
The Queen Mother, who was hiding in the palace, did not wait for the good news that reinforcements had successfully rescued her.
Instead, he heard the sad news that the emperor had arrived outside Yong'an Palace and ordered the execution of all the rebels.
The Queen Mother's eyes went dark, but this time she was not allowed to faint. Then she saw the palace maid coming to report with a pale face:
"Your Majesty...The Emperor, the Emperor wants to see you."
There was complete silence in Yong'an Palace.
Zhao Xin sat in the main seat with his horse and sword, while Liu Muzhi and Li Cunxiao were guarding outside the hall.
A row of people from the Yong'an Palace knelt below, each of them wishing they could stick their faces to the ground, not even daring to breathe.
In the past, these palace maids were disrespectful to the emperor.
But after seeing with their own eyes the emperor's cold and stern order to kill all the imperial guards outside, they were now extremely afraid that they would be the next to be sentenced to death.
Today I deeply felt the majesty and terror of the emperor who, when angry, would result in millions of corpses!
The empress dowager, supported by Zhang An, came out from the back of the hall nervously.
Seeing Zhao Xin sitting in the main seat, his young features remained unchanged, but his demeanor and temperament were completely different from before.
Even though he was just sitting there, he gave people the feeling of dominating the world and being the only one in the world!
When the Queen Mother came out just now, the little calmness that she had gained through self-comfort had disappeared.
Zhang An, who was standing beside him, bowed his head and didn't even dare to look at the emperor.
Zhao Xin raised his eyes calmly, glanced at the Queen Mother, and waved his hand to order everyone in the palace to leave.
The palace maids and eunuchs all breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked the emperor and left.
In the huge palace, only Zhao Xin and the Queen Mother were left.
The quiet atmosphere made the Queen Mother feel very uncomfortable.
"emperor……"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was trembling violently. The empress dowager took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"I wonder...what has angered the Emperor?"
Zhao Xin thought the Queen Mother's question was ridiculous. Was she simply trying to annoy him?
Did she think that she could escape danger by pretending to be stupid in front of him?
Seeing Zhao Xin sipping his tea with his eyes downcast and not answering, the Queen Mother's pale face froze.
If it were in the past, how would the emperor dare not reply to her?
If he said something wrong, he would look nervous and uneasy.
But now the situation is almost the same, but the people who are nervous and fearful have changed.
"Your Majesty, although I am not your biological mother, the love I have shown you over the years of raising you is undeniable. In my heart, I also treat you as my own child... Now that you and I have come to this, I am shocked and heartbroken."
The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly red, she lowered her head and spoke with sobs, her face full of confusion.
"Has the Emperor misunderstood me about something? How about we sit down and talk it out?"
Seeing that she was playing the emotional card and trying to impress him with the mother-son relationship that existed in name only, Zhao Xin laughed inwardly.
The relationship between the tyrant emperor and the queen mother is almost incompatible, so where does the mother-son love come from?
Besides, the so-called grace of raising me that she mentioned... Haha! That's even more ironic!
"There's no misunderstanding."
Zhao Xin was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so he flicked his fingers and said calmly:
"Mother, you are old and should not be involved in state affairs. You can spend your remaining years in peace in Yong'an Palace."
“……!”
The Queen Mother's eyes widened, and she was so frightened that she was speechless for a while, and her already pale face became even uglier.
She had anticipated the emperor's purpose, but she never expected him to be so direct!
Is the Emperor truly not afraid of the Cui family behind her? The Queen Mother was filled with fear and anger, but fear had already taken over.
"...Your Majesty is truly filial to me!"
The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, her eyes slightly red, and said with an unclear emotion:
“But the affairs of state have always been managed with the assistance of the Prime Minister.
Without him, how could the Great Qin Empire be maintained in peace?
The emperor has grown up now, and it is time for him to personally attend court and handle government affairs.
Since the Emperor has said so now, I will summon the Prime Minister into the palace and order him to assist you in handling state affairs."
Zhao Xin raised his eyebrows slightly. The Queen Mother's words seemed to be a concession, but in fact she was secretly putting pressure on the Prime Minister.
Remind him that all Qin State affairs are currently under the control of Cui Cen. He is the great emperor of Qin, and he wants to rule the country himself, but he still needs to consult Cui Cen!
The corners of Zhao Xin's mouth curled up slightly, but his eyes were cold and there was no smile at all.
Of course, he was well aware of Cui Cen's power, but now that the Queen Mother had pointed it out to him, he was extremely unhappy!
"As for the Prime Minister, I have my own thoughts. It's just a small matter, there's no need to alarm him.
The princes are now raising their armies in rebellion, and the Prime Minister is worried about this matter. He doesn't need to worry about the affairs here."
The empress dowager felt a chill in her heart when she met the emperor's smiling gaze, and the expression without a smile in her eyes.
At this moment, fear completely took over everything, and the Queen Mother deeply felt the despair of being isolated and helpless.
The emperor's words were telling her that the palace was now under his control.
The brothers outside the palace had no idea what was happening in the palace!
"I have come here today to inform the Queen Mother."
He had no intention of discussing it with her from the beginning!
Instead, he was telling her to hand over the seal.
The Queen Mother only understood this when she arrived here.
Regardless of whether the emperor is afraid of the Cui family or not, I am now alone in the deep palace and am already a fish on the emperor's chopping board.
