"I can't take care of it anymore, so I need help from my parents."

Old Lady Xiao gave her a thumbs up and said, "Okay, okay, Queen Mother, you are really good at scheming."

He was forced into a situation where he couldn't back down and had to do it even if he didn't want to.

"My dear, I'm sorry for wronging you."

"Unfair? Haha, I dare not say I am unfair. It is my honor to serve you, the Empress Dowager, as an old man. Okay, okay, I will help you. But you have to promise me that nothing will happen to the Xiao family."

"Of course. When my son takes the throne, I will allow the daughter of the Xiao family to enter the palace as a concubine."

The corners of Old Lady Xiao's mouth twitched wildly, "Chu Xuanche and Chu Xuanling are already so old, is it too late for them to enter the palace now?"

"Sending a beauty does not mean having a child to succeed the throne. Xiao Che is good, and I don't want to replace him. But Xiao Che has no wife, so please help keep an eye on him."

Old Mrs. Xiao was startled. "What do you mean? Didn't he get married last year?"

"Well, the Ruan family is finished, and the woman is nowhere to be found."

Old Lady Xiao: “…”

Awesome, awesome.

A slap in the face and then a date.

Old Mrs. Xiao gave her a thumbs up again.

"Well, since you have arranged everything, it will be as you wish."

After returning, Old Lady Xiao called together her confidants to discuss how to help Prince Gong to ascend the throne by removing obstacles.

On Prince Gong's side, the two wives were brought into the palace and directly to the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace.

The two of them originally thought they were doomed, but they never expected that they could enter the palace after having eaten and drunk well in there.

To be honest, they are both confused now.

"Where is Xin Chen?" Princess Gong asked directly.

"She's gone."

Um?

"what?"

"She's gone. I asked someone to check. They think Xiao Che is mentally ill and doesn't want to marry into Prince Gong's Mansion. She has already prepared her household registration and travel permit, and has been preparing to leave Prince Gong's Mansion."

Prince Gong and Princess Gong looked at each other in disbelief and even more bewilderment.

"What does it have to do with you? Why do you care so much?"

The Queen Mother said calmly: "If you don't leave, you will die."

They both: “…”

They had seen how cruel she was.

놙They didn't understand why the Queen Mother let Ruan Xinchen leave.

However, with her methods, killing Ruan Xinchen was as easy as stepping on an ant. If what she said was not true, there was no need for her to lie to them.

Even if she told them directly that someone had been murdered, they wouldn't be able to do anything to her.

It's better to let her go, she will be safe in the end.

"Why did you call us here?"

"I want to tell you something."

"You say."

The Queen Mother began by telling the story from the beginning to the end, starting with the two concubines' struggle for favor.

This time, she spoke very carefully, and even expressed in detail some of her feelings as a little girl many years ago.

How can I not like it?

How could she not like him when she met a young emperor at her best years?

She was fighting with Concubine Xian not only for the power in the harem, but also for the love of a man.

It's not about identity, just husband's love.

"She lost, completely. She was deceived by him for most of her life. He schemed against her for that jerk for most of her life."

The Queen Mother looked at Prince Gong with tears in her eyes and said, "If it weren't for Eunuch Ning presenting his letter, she would never have known that her own son had been replaced."

Prince Gong's wife was so shocked that she was speechless.

"You mean... you mean..."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "I mean, you are my son, but you were replaced by your emperor on the day you were born. My son, I am sorry for you..."

Prince Gong's eyes were as big as copper bells. He looked at the old woman in front of him in horror and couldn't believe it at all.

Princess Gong suddenly understood what the life-saving talisman that the late emperor had given to their family was.

It turned out that it was not the jade tablet, but... a letter from the late emperor.

"No...it's a mistake, it must be a mistake." Prince Gong couldn't accept that his enemy suddenly became his mother, and his mother became his enemy who tried to trick his father into replacing him.

"It can't be wrong. If I can't guarantee the truth, can I do this? For you, I personally killed three grandsons and one son."

She told them about her plans for the next few days.

How to induce Chu Li to force abdication, kill the two younger grandsons, anger the son to death, and put the blame on the older grandson.

How could he force his parents to support Prince Gong's ascension to the throne?

It was a flawless plan, and she pulled it off.

Prince Gong and his two sons were terrified.

So much hate.

Even if one raises a cat or a dog, one still has feelings for them, let alone the sons and grandsons that she raised with her own hands. How could she have the heart to do that?

That must be true. If it wasn't true, how could she kill her own son and grandson?

"Kid, I'm sorry. I got it back for you."

"Bring it back to me?"

"Yes, it should have been yours. Soon your grandfather will petition to let you take the throne. You don't have to do anything. I have cleared all the obstacles on the road to succession. I won't let you get a drop of blood on it. All you need is a clean succession."

"Haha, ha?" Prince Gong smiled bitterly, looked at her and said, "When you did all this, did you ask me if I was willing?"

"Who wouldn't want to be emperor? That is the supreme power."

Prince Gong: “…”

"I know what you're worried about. I've told you that you won't be held responsible for any consequences. The Obstacle Mother will help you clear it up. You need a clean succession."

"How can it be clean? The blood of my brothers and nephews is on the dragon throne. You say it is clean?"

Queen Mother: “…”

"How could you think so? It should have been yours. It was because your emperor and Concubine Xian were so cunning and treacherous that they replaced you when you were born. Otherwise, how could I... how could I let you suffer so much over the years?"

"So what? Can the dead come back to life?"

"They..." She couldn't bear to talk about those people.

What can she do?

If I can't bear it, I will let that bitch Concubine Xian fulfill her wish.

Whenever she thought about how hard she had worked for Concubine Xian's future, she wanted to kill everyone.

She let her eldest grandson go and made her second grandson become the woman of her dreams. She was already very kind. What else did she want?

The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said, "This is all fate."

"life?"

"What else? Humph, you think that bitch Consort Xian is a good person. We clearly agreed that whoever gives birth to a son first will say it's the Queen, but she secretly asked the imperial physician to induce labor in an attempt to give birth to a son before me. Hahahaha..."

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "She was not destined to be the mother of the country. She tried to change her fate by force and ended up dead. That was the will of heaven. That was God's will. Humph, if she really succeeded, do you think she would treat us mother and son well? She still has the favor of your Majesty, and our fate will be even worse."
