Chapter 1347: It turns out to be destiny
The old lady of the Bai family could never have imagined that the originally furious Queen Mother would turn her face faster than turning the pages of a book after learning that it was Princess Fude who destroyed the Bai Mansion.
Your Majesty, doesn't your face hurt?
The Empress Dowager's face hurts, it hurts so much!
That's why I have to vent the anger that makes my face hurt!
As the instigator, the old lady of the Bai family naturally has to bear the brunt of the blame.
The Empress Dowager became angrier the more she thought about it.
My sister-in-law deliberately lured me into a trap so that she could force me to deal with Fu Ya!
She actually used her tricks on me, the empress dowager. Does she really think that I dare not do anything to her?
"Old Madam Bai is already old. It would be better for her to return to Qingzhou Prefecture to spend her remaining years in retirement. She should not return to the capital unless necessary!" The Empress Dowager said coldly.
The old lady of the Bai family was struck by lightning!
In the past, she wanted to return to her roots and retire in Qingzhou Prefecture.
But now, after taking the health-preserving pills sent by Princess Fude, she felt much healthier.
She felt that she could live a few more years and could push the Bai family to the next level.
However, the Queen Mother asked her to return to Qingzhou...
"I dare not disobey the Empress Dowager's decree," the old lady of the Bai family said, bowing to the ground. "However, if I leave the capital, I am afraid I will never see the Empress Dowager again in this lifetime..."
The old lady said this, raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother.
Her face was covered with tears, and she continued crying, "Thinking back to the past, when I first married into the Bai family, the Empress Dowager was just a little girl. Although we were aunts and sisters-in-law, I always thought of her as my own daughter..."
As the old lady played the emotional card, scenes from that year appeared before the Empress Dowager's eyes.
Although she knew that the old lady said this on purpose, the Empress Dowager could not help but feel the warmth in her heart.
The Queen Mother sighed deeply and said earnestly, "The past is the past. Sister-in-law, you are old, and I am old too. We can only live a few more years. The Bai family's lintel will ultimately rely on the younger generation to support it."
"As the saying goes, if jade is not polished, it will not become a useful object. Over the years, Shuzhi has studied with the great scholars of the dynasty and has gained a great reputation in the capital. But look at him now, he has actually done something so immoral..."
The Empress Dowager shook her head in disappointment.
Then, he continued, "That would be fine, but the woman went to cancel the engagement, and he still insisted on it, causing such a fuss!"
The Empress Dowager's tone became somewhat heavy and sad.
"Marriage is not enmity. Sister-in-law, think about it, how many more years can I live? How many more years can I take care of the Bai family?"
"What should I do if something like this happens when I'm gone?"
"What will the Bai family do if they don't have any outstanding descendants to bring honor to the family?"
"Princess Fude is a dual princess conferred by the Emperor himself, a unique feat throughout history!"
"That child is kind-hearted and has great luck. He will definitely have great fortune in the future!"
"Now that I'm still here and can still look after the Bai family, I should make good friends with Princess Fude and save some favors for the future..."
When the Empress Dowager spoke of this, her tone became somewhat meaningful.
The old lady of the Bai family was not stupid, so she naturally heard it.
However, thinking of the relationship between the Bai family and Tang Bao, he still wanted to try harder to destroy it.
"I dare not interfere with the Empress Dowager's words, but Princess Fude is still young. Now that she has been honored and favored, it's hard to guarantee that she won't develop a disrespectful, spoiled, and unruly personality..."
"Furthermore, the Third Prince is the son of a great emperor and a great grandson of a phoenix, yet for the sake of a little girl, he disregarded the laws of the country and helped to destroy the Bai family, regardless of the fact that the Bai family is the Empress Dowager's family. This is simply unbelievable."
When the old lady of the Bai family said this, a fierce look flashed in her eyes.
No one who deserves to be punished should be spared!
The old lady of the Bai family thought so in her heart, but her face showed a worried expression.
"Empress Dowager, Princess Fude is now relying on the Third Prince's influence and the Emperor's and your affection for her to openly attack the Bai family. In the future, she might even dare to attack the Imperial Palace..."
Before the old lady could finish her words, the Empress Dowager's face turned ashen.
"Sister-in-law, you're still saying this!" The Queen Mother said angrily, "Do you really think I don't understand what you're thinking? I've tried to enlighten you time and time again, but you've been stubborn and stubborn!"
"Knowing that Princess Fude not only saved the Emperor and my life, but also found the stolen Imperial Seal, and that her contributions were immense, yet you chose to become enemies with Princess Fude at this crucial moment!"
"Knowing clearly that the Third Prince is the Emperor's legitimate son and is highly valued by the Emperor, yet you still dare to slander him with your words and attempt to sow discord!"
"Do you really think that with the Empress Dowager Ai around, the Bai family can influence the Emperor's wishes? Do you think that they can go against the will of Heaven?"
The Empress Dowager was so angry that she was shaking at the end.
She had never imagined that after she had been practicing asceticism in Tianlong Temple for ten years, her sister-in-law would be so confused that she even wanted to interfere in the matter of appointing a crown prince.
This is simply a heinous crime of confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan!
No! This sister-in-law absolutely cannot stay in the capital any longer!
Otherwise, they will be ignorant of their own limitations and bring disaster upon the Bai family!
The warmth and tenderness that had been evoked in the Empress Dowager by the old lady's reminiscences of the past completely disappeared.
After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, the old lady of the Bai family was shocked.
What does it mean to go against the will of heaven?
The little girl from the Su family has good luck, but it can’t be her destiny, right?
Could it be that she was born with the fate of a phoenix, destined to be noble and unparalleled?
The Queen Mother seemed to have read the old lady's mind. She closed her eyes, suppressed her anger, and spoke in a steady tone, "Do you know who found the lost Phoenix Seal from ancient times? No, it should be said that it was sent to whom by heaven?"
"Not to mention the Queen..."
The old lady's words suddenly stopped, her eyes widened in shock, and she looked at the Empress Dowager in disbelief.
Could it be...that little girl from the Su family?
"It's Fuya!" The Empress Dowager looked at the old lady sharply and said affirmatively.
The old lady: "..."
My head is buzzing.
It is fate...it is fate...
For a moment, the old lady felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Empress Dowager...Bai family, Bai family..."
The old lady's face was pale and her lips trembled and moved a few times.
"The Bai family?" The Empress Dowager's expression was complicated. She looked around the golden curtains in the hall, which symbolized supreme nobility, and said slowly, "The Bai family is only my maternal family. This is my home..."
The old lady: "..."
His body shook.
The Empress Dowager continued, "I am the Empress Dowager of Great Yan, and I must consider the country of Great Yan! Do you know that Jin'er's life was saved by Fu Ya, and my life and the Emperor's life were also saved by Fu Ya. It was Fu Ya who gave the Phoenix Seal to the Empress, and it was Fu Ya who retrieved the Imperial Seal... All of this was done by Fu Ya. Do you think the Bai family alone can bring Fu Ya down?"
The old lady: "..."
cannot……
The old lady moved her lips and silently uttered these two words.
