Chapter 665 is a request
"It seems that you have grasped the Queen Mother's weakness!" Lu Yichen understood, "Then it seems that your affairs will definitely go smoothly."
"Of course." Zhong Nianyao nodded with a smile, "So, tomorrow I will go to the Queen Mother to have a good talk. I think she should also understand the righteousness of the cause and will definitely make Nangong Xin pay for what she has done."
Lu Yichen smiled and said nothing more.
The next morning, Zhong Nianyao went directly to the Queen Mother's palace, and Lu Yichen did not go with her. Firstly, it was the Queen Mother's bedroom after all, and it was not convenient for him, an outsider, to enter. Secondly, there were some things she still wanted to talk to the Queen Mother alone.
Lu Yichen didn't say anything and stayed. It was just right that he could still keep an eye on Zhong Mingxin. They were also worried if Zhong Mingxin stayed alone in the Imperial Master's Hall.
Soon, Zhong Nianyao arrived at the Queen Mother's palace. She didn't even need the palace maids to pass her around, and went straight into the Queen Mother's bedroom.
The palace maids and guards outside naturally wanted to stop them, but Zhong Nian Yao just glanced at them lightly, and they were like petrified. They began to feel fear in their hearts, and even their legs and feet began to tremble.
Only then did they clearly realize that the man before them was the Imperial Master, a figure who had once been a powerful figure in the Li Kingdom and had saved the people of the country from disaster. In the presence of such a person, they felt it was difficult to breathe, and they dared not make any unnecessary movements.
At this time, the Queen Mother and Nangong Xin were having breakfast. Neither of them spoke to each other. The atmosphere seemed a little quiet, even a little scary.
In such an environment, Nangong Xin even felt like she couldn't eat. However, she didn't dare to complain. She knew in her heart that the only person who could protect her was the Queen Mother.
In fact, her heart was full of confusion. She didn't know why the Queen Mother came forward to save her.
Before she reached the age of marriage, she was raised in the palace. Or, to be more precise, she was raised in the Empress Dowager's palace.
However, although she grew up in the Empress Dowager's palace, she wasn't particularly close to her. It could even be said that they only saw each other once a month. On the fifteenth day of every month, she would go to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. It was only then that she saw her.
It can be said that there is no affection between her and the Queen Mother at all, so when the Queen Mother suddenly came forward to save her yesterday, she was shocked.
However, no matter what the Queen Mother's motivation was to keep her, it was her only lifeline now.
However, what puzzled her most was that after bringing her back, the Queen Mother did not explain anything to her and showed no concern for her.
She was really confused as to why the Queen Mother was willing to come forward to protect her?
"If you have anything to ask, just ask it." The Queen Mother's voice, full of majesty, rang out. "Don't be so timid here. You have no dignity at all."
There was a hint of disdain in that tone.
Suddenly, Nangong Xin felt a little aggrieved. However, it was the Queen Mother who was embarrassing her, so she couldn't say anything. She could only reply aggrievedly, "No."
Seeing Nangong Xin's appearance, the Queen Mother couldn't help but frown, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, "Why don't you look like your mother at all? You look so petty, I really don't know who you resemble."
Nangong Xin didn't dare to reply anymore.
The Queen Mother frowned and was about to say something when she was interrupted by a sudden change.
"Who are you--"
A sharp voice rang out, and the person who shouted was none other than Li Ma, the empress dowager's personal attendant. She was startled by the sound of someone suddenly walking in from outside.
Suddenly, everyone's attention was startled by the figure that suddenly appeared at the door. Upon closer inspection, they realized that the person who came was none other than the resurrected Imperial Master who had been rumored to have returned from the dead.
"How dare you!" Nanny Li shouted. "Who are you? How dare you barge into the Empress Dowager's palace? How many lives do you have?"
"I have several lives, so you don't need to worry about them." Zhong Nianyao walked in leisurely without stopping. "I came here today mainly to have a good chat with the Queen Mother."
"How dare you." It was still Nanny Li who spoke. "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to say such things? The Empress Dowager is a noble person. How can you just cling to her so casually?"
The Queen Mother said nothing and let Nanny Li speak.
Obviously, what Li Ma Ma meant was exactly what she meant. She looked down on Zhong Nian Yao, and she would not look at her differently just because people outside spread the rumor that she was the Imperial Master.
Nangong Xin's heart immediately jumped into her throat when she saw Zhong Nianyao walk in. She naturally remembered Zhong Nianyao. It was because of her that she ended up like this today. She was really worried about what Zhong Nianyao would do to her.
Now that she saw the Queen Mother's attitude, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that the Queen Mother didn't care about Zhong Nianyao at all, so as long as the Queen Mother was willing to protect her, she would be fine.
Listening to Nanny Li's words, Zhong Nianyao didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, I want to talk to you alone, is that okay?"
Just as Li Ma was about to open her mouth to scold again, she saw Zhong Nianyao's light eyes. Suddenly, all the scolding words were stuck in her throat, and she could no longer utter a single word.
There was clearly no extra emotion in Zhong Nian Yao's eyes, but she felt an unprecedented fear. It was as if she was being stared at by the underworld, as if she was an ant that could be crushed to death at any time.
The Queen Mother raised her head and looked at Zhong Nianyao with a hint of disdain and coldness in her eyes. "Who do you think you are? Why do you think I will agree to your request?"
"Your Highness, you're wrong." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. Although she didn't say anything, her tone was a little forceful. "I'm asking, not requesting. I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you."
The arrogant attitude made the empress dowager's face gloomy. When she looked at Zhong Nian Yao, there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
