Chapter 494 Retribution is coming
The old ministers' words were full of contempt.
"Queen Dowager, do you still have any moral principles? Do you have any sense of shame? How can you be worthy of the late emperor by committing such a shameful act?"
The Queen Mother swayed and looked up at the city wall.
The figure did not appear.
Yes, ever since she confessed her feelings to him, he has regarded her as a monster and never given her even the slightest chance.
But the Queen Mother always felt that the reason he avoided her just proved that he cared about her.
It was this kind of obsession that supported her through year after year in the stagnant palace.
For some reason, this secret that could not be made public was suddenly made public. Instead of feeling humiliated, the Queen Mother felt a secret pleasure.
"Putting aside our identities, is it wrong to admire someone?"
"I haven't done anything out of the ordinary. I'm just expressing my longing for you through writing. Is that not okay?"
"You men can do whatever it takes to get the woman you like, but women can't even think about it?"
"Bah!" Marquis Wuping angrily cried, "This is the first time I've seen someone describe shamelessness so righteously! You've truly opened my eyes!"
The Queen Mother laughed heartily. "Do you think I'm the only one who's shameless? The late Emperor passed away young. How did those lonely women in the palace, like flowers, survive those lonely nights and days? Which of them didn't admire Xiao Chuchen in their hearts?"
"Shut up!" Wang Changyang's voice trembled with anger, and he slammed his cane to the ground. "You are immoral! Shameless! Incorrigible! Do you think everyone is as disregarding of human ethics as you are?"
"The reason why we are human beings, and not animals, is because we can control our emotions! We know what we should and shouldn't do, and what we shouldn't even think about! As the Queen Mother, you act so shamefully. Where do you place the dignity of the royal family? You are absolutely despicable!"
The Queen Mother reached out and smoothed her hair. "Alright, Lord Wang, that happened over twenty years ago! If the Emperor hadn't stolen my letter, this would have remained a secret forever! If you want to blame someone, blame the Emperor!"
The emperor looked gloomy.
The bargaining chip used to threaten the Queen Mother lost its effectiveness, and everything was in vain.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother spoke.
"And there's more! You should have figured out that I was blackmailed by the Emperor! The truth is, the poison was administered by the Emperor himself! The Wusheng Sect was also set up by the Emperor!"
"Empress Dowager!" The emperor looked at her angrily.
The Queen Mother laughed heartily. "You want to harm me? You think you've found your biological mother? You're so naive!"
"What do you mean?" The emperor frowned uneasily.
But the Queen Mother did not continue the topic. "Anyway, I adore the Prince Regent. How could I bear to kill him?"
"Someone!" Wang Changyang shouted, unable to bear it any longer. "Take this crazy woman back to the capital and make her guard the late emperor's mausoleum. Make her confess her sins to him day and night! Even after death, her bones must be pulverized and her ashes scattered. She must not even set foot near the mausoleum!"
The Queen Mother cried out, "Wang Changyang, what gives you the right? I am the Queen Mother of Dayu, why should I guard the imperial mausoleum? Who are you to dare to touch me?"
"Just because I have the Golden Whip!" Wang Changyang whipped out the whip with a swish, "I dare to beat even the emperor, let alone a woman like you who has lost her moral integrity and is unworthy of the late emperor!"
After saying that, he whipped him.
The Queen Mother cried out, "Prince Regent, please come out and say something! What's wrong with loving someone? In this world, besides me, who else would be so devoted to you? Do you ever regret marrying such an ugly woman?"
"That's enough!" Luo Qiuyue flew down from the city wall and slapped the Queen Mother twice. "You are shameless, but we still have dignity! If you dare to say another word, I will cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs!"
The Queen Mother looked at her in shock, "You...why have you changed?"
"So, I was ultimately defeated by my looks?"
Luo Qiuyue smiled, "Great scholar, are you sure you want someone like this to guard the imperial mausoleum? I think she should go somewhere more suitable for her!"
As he spoke, he pinched the Queen Mother's chin and stuffed a pill into her mouth.
"What did you feed me?" The Queen Mother scratched her throat in panic.
I had heard from Luo Ling'er on the way that this woman is good at using poison.
"Naturally something to shut you up!"
"Ugh—" The Queen Mother tried her best to vomit, but nothing came out.
"Master! Leave it to me!"
Chen Xing and Nong Yue came over. A few days ago, they brought the Wushengmen killers to Heihe City.
The Queen Mother was dragged away by the two men, "Where are you taking me?"
Chen Xing said: "After taking the master's medicine, you will naturally go to heaven."
Nong Yue said: "But I can't let you dirty the land of Heihe City!"
The Queen Mother cried out in terror, "My Lord, I am willing to guard the imperial mausoleum! I am willing to repent to the late Emperor! Please save me!"
Wang Changyang sighed, "I wanted to spare your life, but this is what you asked for."
"It's your turn." Luo Qiuyue walked up to the emperor. "How else do you want to argue?"
The emperor's face turned pale. "Although the Queen Mother has just changed her words, I still say that everything is the Queen Mother's fault. Since she couldn't get my uncle, she wanted to destroy him! I never intended to harm my uncle!"
"So, you don't admit it?" Luo Qiuyue's eyes were cold.
"I won't admit it! The Imperial Uncle is the only person in this world who has given me love and warmth. I have no reason to harm him!"
"Although I am now alone and powerless, even if you torture me, I will not admit to something I never did! You want to steal my throne and ruin my reputation. Aren't you being too greedy?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Forget it, I didn't expect him to admit it!"
"At this point, it doesn't matter whether he admits it or not!"
"Important!" The little dumpling shook his head and walked to the emperor.
"Are you really going to lie again?" Xiao Jiuer tilted her head and looked at him.
When the emperor met those clear big eyes, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
"I'm not lying. I can give the throne to the Regent. I only ask that this matter end here!"
"You wish!" Xiao Jiu'er's face was full of seriousness, "Everyone must be responsible for what they have done!"
"I have a clear conscience and there is nothing I need to be responsible for!" The emperor looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
"Hehe!" Little Dumpling shrugged his shoulders. "You are such a good actor, Kuo Xi, you met me!"
"Juanjuan! Come on!"
A small golden snake flew out, and its green eyes met the emperor's eyes directly.
"This...is this the legendary snake god?!"
Those who had never seen Juanjuan were horrified and fell to their knees.
The veteran officials were particularly excited. "According to ancient records, the appearance of the Snake God indicates that the evil deeds of the tyrant ruler have reached the point of wrath by heaven and man! The Snake God has come to enforce justice!"
"Emperor, your retribution has come!"
