The imperial physician knew everything. After returning, he wrote that it was due to the empress dowager's overwork.

After a nap, the Queen Mother recovered some of her strength.

Grandma Xu quickly asked someone to bring some porridge.

"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for a long time. Drinking some porridge will be good for your health."

"Help me up."

"yes."

She had to drink the porridge, she couldn't just let it go, she had to report it.

All the situations...have to be rearranged.

The Queen Mother drank half a bowl of porridge and felt a little better. She turned her head to look at Grandma Xu.

This silent staring made Grandma Xu feel uneasy.

After a long while, the Queen Mother finally spoke, "Xiao Xu, how long have you been with me?"

Grandma Xu said, "Queen Mother, when you were still a young lady in the Xiao family, I followed you. It has been more than fifty years now."

"More than fifty years, that's a lot of people, it's been so long." The Queen Mother sighed.

She looked at Grandma Xu and said, "So, you've been with me all this time."

Grandma Xu said: "This is my blessing."

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "I have delayed you for a while."

When Grandma Xu heard this, she immediately knelt down. "It is my great fortune to be able to follow the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother helped her up and said, "Xiao Xu, I should have let you out of the palace to get married earlier. If you had gotten married earlier, you would have had many children and grandchildren by now."

"No, how many married women live happily? They have to serve their parents-in-law, wait on their husbands, take care of their children, and work hard all their lives. But I am luckier than most women in the world because I am with the Queen Mother and she treats me well."

The Queen Mother was quite satisfied to hear her say this.

"Well, as a human being, you can live your life as long as you feel good about it."

"Yes, I feel it is a great blessing to be able to follow the Queen Mother."

"Xiao Xu, although we are called master and servant, we are actually sisters who have been with each other for a long time. You have been with me longer than my parents, brothers and sisters, husband and son. So I have always trusted you."

"Thank you for your trust, Queen Mother."

"Well, I have a secret right now that I can't tell anyone. Now, I want to tell you."

Grandma Xu immediately expressed her position, "I have no regrets in serving the Queen Mother and I am absolutely loyal to her."

The Queen Mother nodded and began to talk about the letter.

Although Grandma Xu already knew, she pretended not to know and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Seeing the Queen Mother crying, she also shed tears.

"How could this happen? How could the late emperor treat you like this?"

"Yes." The Queen Mother was sad and angry, "I was good to you, old man. How could you treat me like this?"

"What now?"

The Queen Mother said, "I can't let that bastard win. I can't watch my own son suffer."

hiss!

So what is she going to do?

Is she going to rebel?

"You don't know, every time I think about the fact that the son I have loved for half my life is someone else's biological son, my heart feels as if it is being cut.

And my own son, I know clearly how much he suffered during those years, because I was the one who caused him all the suffering during those years.

Ten years ago... Ten years ago I sent someone to kill my own grandson, causing my eldest grandson to almost go insane from fear. Now he is not normal. You know, he was very good. The emperor always praised him, saying that he was smart..."

As she spoke, the Queen Mother burst into tears.

After that, he angrily bit his tongue and cursed.

"That old man, I said, you knew I was doing bad things behind your back but you didn't say anything. You watched me do that to your own son and grandson, are you still laughing at me behind my back? Huh?"

Grandma Xu handed the handkerchief to the empress dowager with a distressed look on her face.

"Queen Mother, it's useless to say all this now. What's important is what we can do to make up for this mistake. Prince Gong... Prince Gong's family is still in prison, and the people you sent out to kill the son haven't returned yet, and we don't know what's happening to them."

The Queen Mother's heart skipped a beat.

When she was angry, she remembered that she had sent people to Xiangzhou to kill her own grandson some time ago, and gave them a death order not to let him return to Beijing alive.

"Hurry, get someone to chase them back immediately. If even one hair of ours is missing, I'll kill them."

"yes."

Grandma Xu took the order and went to carry out the errand.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and pondered what to do about this matter.

The emperor has been the emperor for so many years, and his political achievements are remarkable. Everyone in the court is convinced.

It doesn't matter whether he is her son or not. As long as he is the old lady's son and is suitable to be the emperor, the court officials will not allow her to replace him.

Therefore... the fact that the queen is not her biological child must not be known to outsiders.

But how could she pass the throne to her own son?

Even if you die, you still have a son.

The throne can only be inherited by the son, and it is impossible for it to fall to the elder brother or nephew.

Unless... there is no one to inherit the name.

Now I have a son, forget about the Second Prince, and just let his reputation get a little worse.

No, even if his reputation is bad, he still has more inheritance rights than Prince Gong's family.

Unless... it is completely abolished.

Yes, anyway, 놛 likes to pretend to be a woman to please men, so it doesn’t matter if 놛 is killed, at least 놛’s life is saved.

Where is Li'er?

After all, I was the one who brought him up, and now I am only one step away from success.

Although he is the grandson of that bastard, his mother is his niece from his mother's side and he is half of the Xiao family's blood.

She was reluctant to do that to him.

But if 놛 is not eliminated, how can one's own sons and grandsons have a legitimate name?

Otherwise... let's just do what we did to the second brother and make him a complete loser.

Yes, it doesn't matter if 놛 loses arms and legs, as long as 눂 gets the inheritance rights, she will be responsible for 놛's second half of life.

I won't let you down.

As for the two little ones...

We can't just discard them all; that would be too deliberate.

Forget it, just kill the two little ones.

The Queen Mother thought about it and came up with this idea.

She opened her eyes and shouted, "Someone come."

Soon a palace maid came in.

"Go to the Xiao family and ask Old Lady Xiao to come into the palace."

"yes."

No...

The Queen Mother suddenly thought of something and her heart skipped a beat.

"Wait, come back."

The palace maid who had passed the door hurried back.

"What does the Queen Mother want?"

The Queen Mother suddenly thought that Chu Li was half of the Xiao family's blood.

The power of Xiao's maternal grandfather's lineage in the Xiao family is at its peak.

Almost all members of the Xiao family acquiesced. When the old man passed away, the second branch would inherit the family business.

The old lady's most important person is her second son, her second brother.

Therefore, if I tell the old man about this, what if he chooses to help Chu Li, what about my great-grandson?

Regardless of whether my father crawled out of my belly or not, my mother crawled out of my second sister-in-law's belly.
