The Empress Dowager blushed, staring at Jun Zhe speechlessly for a long time, before suddenly bursting into laughter. [One second], enjoy reading exciting novels without pop-up ads for free!
"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext! Now that I've fallen into your hands, I have no intention of having an easy time. Kill me or torture me as you please! I want the whole world to know what an unrighteous, disloyal, and unfilial son I've raised!"
Jun Zhe was completely heartbroken. Did she ever truly have maternal love for him?
The past flashed before my eyes: She held him, waiting for her father, did she want a family reunion, or was she vying for his favor? Her father praised him as intelligent as his mother, so why did she say she resembled him? Every year on his birthday, why did she always silently wipe away tears and secretly burn paper money? He had asked her about it, and she said that a close relative had passed away on that day, so she could never be happy on his birthday.
All the doubts that had existed before seemed to have been torn away from the veil of warmth, suddenly revealing the truth: he was not her biological son, her own son had died long ago, which was why she couldn't be happy.
Did her son die on that day, or was he born on that day?
Jun Zhe's mind raced, and he had thought of many things. His voice was weary. "Empress Dowager, who am I? Who is my birth mother? For the sake of our past relationship, I will ask you one last time."
The last time?
The Empress Dowager chuckled coldly. "What did you say? I don't understand a word you've said. Everyone in the world knows you are my son, but does His Majesty not know?"
Jun Zhe closed his eyes, forcing back the tears welling up in his eyes. He said coldly, "Even if the Empress Dowager doesn't say, I already know who my birth mother is. My birth mother is the late Empress, isn't that right?"
After Jun Zhe finished speaking, his gaze was fixed on the Empress Dowager.
Anger surged across the Empress Dowager's face, her expression shifting rapidly, as if she couldn't believe that the Emperor would bring up someone who had been dead for many years.
She instantly wanted to vent her anger and fiercely refute Jun Zhe, but then she remembered that if she got angry, wouldn't that confirm the matter? This was something she absolutely could not allow, so she swallowed her anger and said, "Your Majesty originally looked down on me as your birth mother, yet you've been eager to climb the social ladder. But open your eyes and take a good look. That late Empress was not only dead, but she didn't even have the title of Empress Dowager after her death. Moreover, she decreed that she could not be buried with the late Emperor. And you actually want to be her son? Hahaha, hahahahaha!"
Jun Zhe coldly watched her openly display her jealousy, feeling only pity for her.
The Empress Dowager spent her whole life trying to crush the late Empress, but in the end she still lost.
He took a deep breath and said softly, "It doesn't matter whether the Empress Dowager speaks or not. Evidence will remain for everything that has been done. I only wanted to save face for the Empress Dowager out of consideration for our past mother-son relationship. But now it seems that the Empress Dowager doesn't need it. Guards, bring her in!"
"yes!"
Two guards immediately brought in an old woman.
The Empress Dowager glanced at the old nanny and was immediately struck by lightning. She stood up abruptly, biting her lip tightly, and remained silent.
Yun Nian felt that the person in front of her was extremely familiar. After taking a closer look, she immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed after a while, "Yun Yue? Sister?"
The old nanny looked up at Yun Nian and her eyes immediately reddened: "Sister, you've been left alone in the palace all these years, it must have been hard for you."
