He should have brought Chen Miaoyi into the palace from the beginning to prevent her from causing trouble.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the empress dowager became even more angry. She picked up something nearby and threw it at him. The emperor instinctively turned his head to avoid it.
"It's all my fault. I didn't teach you well. I was wrong. I am guilty!!" The Queen Mother muttered to herself like crazy, grabbing her hair with both hands.
The emperor supported the empress dowager with concern, "Mother, calm down. The imperial physician said you are suffering from anger. You can't be angry anymore."
"I am angry? You also know that I am angry?
You are the ruler of a country, how could you do such a foolish thing! Emperor!
The Queen Mother spoke at the top of her lungs, wishing she could just die so she wouldn't have to worry about these things anymore.
The emperor opened his lips slightly but said nothing. He wanted to explain that Chen Miaoyi was a woman, but he couldn't say it.
Chen Miaoyi is cruel to the criminals and also to herself. He cannot gamble with her life.
"Mother, there were many emperors in the past dynasties who had male favorites."
The emperor did not argue with her, he just refuted her.
"Male lover? You know that was in the previous dynasty. Our Great Xia has never had such a foolish king. You are a man, my son. How could you be hanging out with a man?"
The Queen Mother asked in confusion, "Are all the concubines in your harem just decorations? Have you never had sex with them?"
An idea suddenly occurred to the emperor's clever mind, and he acted very sad.
"Mother! I wasn't like this from the beginning. It was because the imperial physician said that I would never have children in this lifetime. All those concubines are just decorations to me.
I was confused for a moment————
I forced Minister Chen to do this. If he doesn't obey, I will demote him."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he heard a slapping sound and felt a burning pain on his face. The empress dowager slapped him in the face. Even though he was bedridden, being slapped still hurt.
The Queen Mother's teeth were chattering with anger. It was ridiculous, too ridiculous. She had thought that it was Chen Miaoyi who seduced the Emperor to do those things, but she had never imagined that it was the Emperor who forced Chen Miaoyi!
This bastard has no idea what he can do and what he can't do.
"Emperor, tell me honestly, what happened between you and Chen Miaoyi?" The empress dowager did not give up, staring at the emperor expectantly, hoping to hear a different answer.
She hoped that everything was a misunderstanding, just her own illusion.
"Mother, everything that was supposed to happen has happened. You don't have to be angry anymore. I forced him to do it. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame me."
The emperor looked directly into the empress dowager's eyes and said, "Mother, I really want to tell you the truth."
But I can't.
The Queen Mother was able to become the surviving champion of the palace fight and successfully help her son ascend the throne without any accidents along the way, all because of her ruthless methods.
Compared to being the empress dowager, she is more suitable to be the emperor. She is ruthless and loveless, decisive and rational.
The Queen Mother was heartbroken. She had experienced many ups and downs in her life, but there were times when she was at a loss.
This is her son. She carried him for ten months, dodged countless arrows from the open and hidden ways, had her hands stained with countless blood, and stepped on countless corpses before she could protect her child who had grown up step by step.
"Is it because I've killed too many people that God is punishing me, my son?"
The Queen Mother looked up and glanced across the palace, she wanted an answer.
"No, no, mother, this is my fault. Just think of it as a momentary infatuation."
The Queen Mother looked at him and saw that little boy had grown up and become the king of a country.
"Emperor, kill him." The Queen Mother's tone was emotionless, cold and persistent.
???
The emperor was dumbfounded. Was he still going to kill him? After saying so much and taking the blame on himself, the queen mother still refused to let him go?
His mother was just like that, resolute, cruel, merciless and unscrupulous.
"Mother, Chen Miaoyi is the only bloodline of the Chen family. If we kill him, how will we explain this to the court officials and the people of the world?"
The emperor argued anxiously, he just wanted to protect Chen Miaoyi! !
"Since you know his identity, why do you still do these things?" the Queen Mother asked back. This emperor is unqualified.
If the late emperor were still alive, she would definitely give birth to another child and raise him again.
Unfortunately, there is no if, she only has one son, so she can only harden her heart and make things right.
"Kill him. I'm going downstairs to explain to the Chen family in person. If there's any score with the Chen family, they can come to me to settle it. It has nothing to do with my son."
The emperor eagerly grabbed the empress dowager's hand, "Mother, she, she is——"
She is a woman, and I don't have a homosexual tendency.
The emperor was extremely conflicted. Should he just tell her? If he did, everything would be solved. At least Chen Miaoyi wouldn't die. At worst, she could just hide her identity and enter the palace.
"If my identity is exposed, I will die in front of you." Chen Miaoyi's threatening grin was still vivid in his mind, and he didn't dare to gamble.
"Mother, I beg you, don't kill him." The emperor's eyes were red. He shouldn't have tried to challenge the queen mother, and shouldn't have used the queen mother's hand to do what he wanted.
The empress dowager had not expected that the emperor and Chen Miaoyi would be so deeply in love and so reluctant to part.
"Then tell me, what should we do? Chen Miaoyi must not be allowed to stay. If the king wants his subject to die, then the subject must die.
It's a good thing that the Chen family is loyal to their country, but you are the king and they are the subjects, and this is what they should do."
The Empress Dowager became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. In the past, she always thought that the Emperor was unruly, but she never imagined that he could be so outrageous.
Even if the Chen family dies, it is for the country, which is glorious!
The emperor thought again and again, "Send her to Cangzhou, mother, and let her go far away. I will not see her anymore."
Since she wants to leave, and since the Queen Mother is pressing her so hard, let her go. As long as she survives, that's good enough.
As Chen Miaoyi said, just treat it as a dream.
"Cangzhou..." the Queen Mother murmured.
"This is also his hometown. It's fine this way. If I can spare his life, I don't want to kill him."
The empress dowager had her own plans. She couldn't make things too awkward with the emperor or do anything too drastic, otherwise the mother and son would become irreversibly estranged.
"Emperor, as long as I am still alive, it is my duty to keep an eye on you and prevent you from doing anything reckless.
After I die, it will not be my turn to care about what you do."
The empress dowager rubbed the emperor's head soothingly. If God sent her to die early and the emperor still missed Chen Miaoyi, then let him go.
"Mother, may you live a long life." The emperor closed his eyes tiredly. He tried everything to keep Chen Miaoyi but failed.
He almost caused her to lose her life because of his inconsiderateness.
"My prince, what do you think of me arranging a marriage for Chen Miaoyi before she leaves?"
The empress dowager asked tentatively, if you can't change the emperor, then try to change Chen Miaoyi.
