Chapter 662: Quarrel between mother and daughter!
I didn't expect that she was an abandoned baby!
Mother, your daughter is suffering because you hid it from her!
No wonder he was so cold to her, and the same was true for Yuan Jing and the others. Now that she thought about it, she had been the target of everyone's attention since she was born.
The more flamboyant she was in the palace, the more people around her hated her. Those princes and princesses secretly wished that she would die a miserable death.
Can Zhou Xinrou's motherly love for her daughter be fake? What about the Queen Mother?
If the Queen Mother really wanted to protect her granddaughter, she would never have brought her into the palace since she was a child, nor would she have given her any rewards, which always put her above the princes and princesses.
Therefore, the Queen Mother knew her background long ago, but she was just better at disguising herself than Zhou Xinrou.
Shen Lanxi thought of the old man with the amiable smile, and her eyes became colder and colder.
"All officials, listen to my order. Follow me back to the capital, retake the palace, and rescue the Queen Mother!"
All officials immediately began to arrange their return journey, and just as they were about to set off, rumors came back from the capital again.
Huang Yucai is the Queen Mother's biological daughter and the descendant of the former Crown Prince.
Liu Yan replied: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother must have been coerced by the thieves and had no choice but to speak insincerely!"
Shen Lanxi: "I know, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame Huang Yu. The Queen Mother was just forced by the situation. You don't need to persuade me, I understand."
"The most important thing now is to rescue the Queen Mother and protect the safety of the people in the capital. Huang Yu is plotting treason and harming the people of my capital. I will never forgive such a sinner!"
All officials responded immediately.
"Never forgive, never forgive..."
Shen Lanxi's eyes were like torches: "Get ready, follow me to kill the evildoers!"
"Kill the evildoers..."
The officials cheered loudly.
…
"I have already sent someone to deliver a letter to Yuan Jing and the others. I believe they must be on their way now. According to the time the letter was sent, they should be almost in the capital by now." Zhou Xinrou said proudly.
Huang Yu asked the people around him, "Where's Lin'er?"
"Your Majesty, the little prince is taking a nap."
"Did you make any noise before bed?"
"After a few noises, I tried to persuade him. The little prince was considerate and knew that Your Majesty was busy, so he went to sleep on his own."
Huang Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"Spread the news again and announce to the world that I will ascend the throne and be crowned emperor in three days!"
"yes."
Zhou Xinrou was a little worried: "Is it too hasty?" They didn't even choose an auspicious day.
Huang Yu: "It is better to take the throne today than to wait for a day. If Shen Yuanjing and the others had not arrived yet, I would have ascended the throne today!"
For some reason, Zhou Xinrou always felt uneasy.
"Yu'er, I always feel that this uprising was a bit hasty."
Huang Yu looked a little unhappy when she heard her name being called.
"So when do you think it's best to start the war?"
"Should we wait until Shen Lanxi becomes seriously ill? Wait until something goes wrong in the Great Zhou? Or wait until she dies of old age?"
Zhou Xinrou saw her daughter's sharp tone and said patiently, "Mother didn't mean that. I meant to be more cautious."
Huang Yu shook his head: "I don't want to wait anymore."
She had endured so much hardship for so long, fighting bandits in the deep mountains and forests, wasn't it just for this moment?
Now we have the right time and place, all we have to do is give it a try, but now she says it’s not a good time?
Seeing that Shen Lanxi's power was becoming more and more stable, who knew the pain and anxiety in her heart?
"Do you know how it feels to face a living dead person every day since I can remember?"
"you do not know."
Zhou Xinrou's face was full of guilt and heartache.
"At that time, my mother had no choice."
Huang Yu snorted coldly: "You let that fake guy enjoy all the glory and wealth in the capital, but let me hide in the mountains without seeing the sun every day, living in fear like a mouse every day. Look at what Shen Lanxi looks like, and then look at what I look like. Do you have the nerve to call yourself a mother?"
The harsh accusation made Zhou Xinrou's face full of sadness, but she did not regret it.
"At the beginning, the Shen family was sentenced to exile to Dongchuan. If it weren't for Shen Lanxi's comeback, we would have been killed by Zhou Chengqian's people along the way."
Huang Yu naturally knew about this, but now she just wanted to outwit Zhou Xinrou with words.
"We secretly dealt with those people. You knew Zhou Chengqian was our enemy, but you still tried to please him and even slept with him."
"Shut up!" Zhou Xinrou looked at her daughter with a sad face.
Who is she doing all this for?
It was all for this moment. She didn't expect that all her sacrifices would be met with accusations from her daughter.
"Just do whatever you want to do. I won't stop you anymore."
Thinking of the grandson who was born with calculations, Zhou Xinrou's heart softened again.
"I'm going to go see Lin'er."
Huang Yu watched Zhou Xinrou leave coldly, and immediately wrote a letter and had it sent to the northwest.
She was the descendant of the late crown prince, and she had to explain this clearly to Shen Yuanjing.
Just write Shen Yuanjing as the child born to Shen Congwen and another woman.
Not long after this letter was sent out, an express letter arrived from the northwest, eight hundred miles away.
The army was already ten miles away.
Huang Yu's mouth corners kept rising, and she knew that Shen Yuanjing and the others would help her.
There is no family affection in the face of power.
At the same time, news came back that Shen Lanxi was bringing all the officials back to the capital.
Huang Yu immediately summoned his men and took all the officials' families to the city gate.
"Pass the order down. Whoever brings Shen Lanxi's head to me will be made a marquis and prime minister, and will be rewarded with a thousand acres of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold."
The streets of the capital were empty. The people were in a state of panic and locked their doors at home. Even when talking inside the house, they did not dare to speak loudly.
From time to time, fast horses galloped past on the street. Just by listening to the sound of horse hooves, they knew that they were not His Majesty's men.
Your Majesty has issued an order that no horses are allowed to run in the capital.
We have just experienced a few years of peace, is it possible that the world is going to change again?
At this time, the people began to think about Shen Lanxi's kindness.
Although Your Majesty is a woman, their lives are better than those of previous male emperors.
Why change the emperor?
If they had a choice, they wouldn't want to change.
Unfortunately, some things in the world are not the way they want them to be.
…
Shen Lanxi led the crowd to the city.
Huang Yu stood on the city wall early.
"Chen Lanxi, considering that the Queen Mother raised you, as long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, I will spare your life!" Huang Yu stood on the city wall and spoke arrogantly.
Shen Lanxi smiled contemptuously: "You traitor, you dare to threaten me?"
Huang Yu was annoyed when he saw that Shen Lanxi was not impatient at all, and he immediately scolded: “I am the one who is truly destined by heaven, you are just an abandoned baby who was picked up, if the queen mother didn’t need you, you would have died long ago.”
Shen Lanxi: "You are talking nonsense and trying to call a horse a zebra. It's ridiculous."
Huang Yu's face darkened and he asked someone to call the Queen Mother.
If she could make Shen Lanxi be killed by her men, then that would be her ability.
She didn't want to take Shen Lanxi's life so easily.
