Chapter 254: Killing people and destroying their hearts, the most vicious words
But she didn't want to die.
Who wants to die when you can live a good life?
Didn't she just sleep with a man once? It's not a big deal. She didn't do anything heinous. It's her own body. It's her freedom to sleep with whichever man she wants. Why should these outsiders control her and force her to die?
It was not until she was in the situation herself that Queen Mother Jiang realized how wronged those women were who were hurt by others and forced to commit suicide by their families.
She thought, people should not be so cruel and should not kill others. They should leave some room for others. If she had not been so aggressive, how could she have ended up in such an embarrassing situation?
She really hoped that time could go back, she hoped that everyone would forget her ugly incident tonight, she hoped that no one would mention it again, leaving her a way out...
She didn't want to commit suicide to preserve her reputation, nor did she want to be sent to the Imperial Ancestral Temple or the Imperial Mausoleum to spend the rest of her life alone. She didn't want to end up in such a miserable and desolate situation...
"Mother."
Xie Junlin felt a slight pain in his heart when he saw his mother, who had always been noble and proud, now sitting on the ground in despair and helplessness, being ridiculed and mocked by Shen Yuanwei and unable to refute or fight back.
He couldn't bear to see his mother being humiliated like this.
He walked towards Shen Yuanwei step by step.
"Shen Yuanwei, don't go too far..."
He stood in front of Shen Yuanwei, staring into her eyes, and lowered his voice so that only they could hear each other.
"Don't think that you can get away with it just because so many people testify for you tonight. If I insist on getting to the bottom of this, let's see if you can get away with it!"
"If you don't believe me, try it out and see if your four-year-old son can handle the torture! See if he will tell the truth!"
Shen Yuanwei suddenly stared at Xie Junlin.
She didn't expect Xie Junlin to say the words "severe punishment"!
That was his biological son, the heir he had been waiting for for so many years!
Xie Junlin looked at Queen Mother Jiang and told Shen Yuanwei indifferently.
"I know what you are thinking. Yun'er is indeed my biological son, but the person you want to kill is also my biological mother. If you are unwilling to give in and insist on making a fuss about tonight's scandal, then I can only harden my heart and teach you a lesson."
"so……"
"You'd better take a step back from me and let tonight's incident go. If you don't know what's good for you, your son will be implicated by you. If he can't stand the punishment and says that it was you who ordered tonight, you will be buried with my mother!"
After a pause, Xie Junlin looked at Xie Congyuan again.
He whispered, "Oh, and what about your and Xiao Lingzhao's wish? Don't think I can't do anything to you. I can let Xie Congyuan die with you and Xiao Lingzhao!"
“…”
The fingers in Shen Yuanwei's sleeves almost broke her palms.
She knew that this man could do what he said.
When there was no conflict between her and Xie Junlin, the son she gave birth to was Xie Junlin's treasure, but when Xie Junlin wanted to kill her, she, as a mother, would only let Xie Junlin vent his anger on Yun'er.
She was powerless and could only take a step back for the sake of her luck.
She stepped back and bowed.
"As you command, my lady."
Xie Junlin then sighed, rubbed the heads of his two ignorant sons, and turned to look at the dark crowd.
He said.
"It's getting late, my dear ministers, please kneel down and greet me."
The ministers looked at each other.
Just let them go?
The Empress Dowager committed adultery, and the matter was just brushed aside like that?
Even if this is the Queen Mother, there can't be no punishment at all, right?
The ministers were all worried, but no one dared to be the first to speak out and ask the emperor to punish the empress dowager.
They all knelt down to greet him.
Xie Junlin glanced at them and said again.
"Listen to me, everyone. You'd better keep your mouth shut about what happened tonight. No one is allowed to reveal it. Otherwise, if I find out, I will kill him!"
All officials were suddenly silent.
Xie Junlin turned around and looked at Queen Mother Jiang and said in a deep voice.
"Nothing major happened tonight. The Queen Mother was not feeling well and went to bed early. There was indeed a small incident in the garden. However, it was an ignorant palace maid who was hanging out with Zhao Er in the pavilion. I see that Lord Zhao is diligent and dedicated to the people, so I have pardoned Zhao Er's death sentence. Tomorrow I will send the palace maid to the Zhao Mansion. Do you all understand?"
“…”
All the officials looked at Lord Zhao and the Second Young Master Zhao silently.
The timid Lord Zhao had almost fainted, but he was just holding on. When he heard the emperor's words, he quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, forced himself to cheer up, and kowtowed to thank the emperor for his grace.
"I thank the emperor for his great grace! Thank you for forgiving the damned beast in my family!"
He quickly called on the second young master Zhao to kneel down and express his gratitude.
The second son of Zhao looked at Queen Mother Jiang reluctantly.
Was his dream of wealth and glory, and his male favorite, shattered just like that?
This was the ladder to heaven that he had finally touched...
He did not kneel down to thank the emperor. Instead, he took two quick steps, knelt down in front of Queen Mother Jiang, raised his head and begged pitifully.
"Your Highness, please keep me by your side as a dog. I am willing to be your dog and I don't want to leave you!"
“…”
Lord Zhao looked at his stupid son in disbelief!
The emperor is about to give this idiot a way out, but this idiot still wants to go and shit on the emperor's neck?
Is it that you only want wealth and fame and not your life?
The Queen Mother was so angry that she wanted to kill him, but he still wanted to have a relationship with her?
Can't those dog eyes see how much the Queen Mother hates him?
Lord Zhao glanced at Xie Junlin tremblingly. Seeing that Xie Junlin's murderous aura was about to overflow, he quickly shouted hysterically to his son -
"Idiot! Get back here! Get back here! If you want to die, don't drag your family down with you! Get back here!"
But the second son of Zhao could not see his father in his eyes, and only had a desire for wealth and glory.
He is a loser. He has no other way to become an official. The only way for him is to be a male concubine. It is so easy to get, how can he bear to give it up?
He thought to himself that the Queen Mother had been feeling lonely for more than twenty years, and he was the first man she had been with in all those years. Moreover, she had been so satisfied with him before, so maybe if he begged, she would be willing to keep him.
As for the Queen Mother drawing her sword to kill him just now, he thought that the Queen Mother was probably just pretending to do it for the ministers to see. She was not so loyal when she was being affectionate with him just now...
Look, when he just shouted a few words that he couldn't be killed, the Queen Mother immediately put down the sword in her hand and didn't kill him, didn't she?
The Queen Mother still liked him. After all, he was so handsome, so strong and so sturdy.
Thinking of this, the second son of Zhao immediately stood up and leaned close to Queen Mother Jiang's ear. He tried to conquer Queen Mother Jiang with his masculinity and whispered:
"My lady, you are already mine. I am your man, so I have to be responsible for you. I must stay by your side to make you happy and make you happy."
He looked into Queen Mother Jiang's eyes lovingly.
"Your Highness, please don't pretend. I know you are actually very satisfied with me. Don't you remember how happy I made you just now? Don't I remember? I know that the late emperor was old, and he should have never satisfied you. How could you not like a man as strong and powerful as me? Don't you want to feel it again, huh?"
