Chapter 666 Relationship
"Why, the Queen Mother doesn't seem to want to talk to me!" Zhong Nianyao looked straight into the Queen Mother's eyes without retreating at all. "But I do think that the Queen Mother and I have a lot of private things to talk about!"
The Queen Mother looked at Zhong Nianyao coldly and said, "I know you have the Emperor's support. But don't forget, I am the Queen Mother. If I want you dead, it would be as easy as crushing an ant."
"Oh, really?"
Hearing such threatening words, Zhong Nianyao's expression did not change, and she even smiled. "But why do I feel that it's not that easy?"
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's fearless appearance, the Queen Mother's face became even gloomier. She slammed the table hard and shouted directly, "Come here, drag this lowly person out of here and give him fifty lashes."
What followed was silence, and no one came in.
Nanny Li's face changed drastically and she immediately looked outside, but she didn't see any movement.
When the Queen Mother looked at Zhong Nianyao, her eyes looked like she wanted to kill him. "What on earth did you do?"
"I didn't do anything," Zhong Nianyao shrugged and continued, "Empress Dowager, I didn't plan to do anything. I just wanted to have a good chat with you."
"Who do you think you are?" The Queen Mother sneered. "What qualifications do you think you have to talk to me?"
"It doesn't matter what my identity is. What matters is what I know." Zhong Nianyao was not angry. She looked at the Queen Mother and continued, "I know that you, Queen Mother, are determined to protect Nangong Xin. What is the reason?"
After these words were spoken, the Queen Mother's expression did not change, but a trace of anxiety quickly flashed in her eyes.
The others, however, were curious about what Zhong Nianyao meant. Nangong Xin, in particular, was probably the most curious. She could tell the Queen Mother disliked her. Yet, at the most critical moment, the Queen Mother appeared to save her. She couldn't fathom the reason behind this.
"I saved Nangong Xin for no other reason than General Nangong!" the Queen Mother said bluntly, "General Nangong sacrificed his life for the Kingdom of Li. Nangong Xin is his only child. I absolutely cannot bear to see the Emperor mistreat the descendants of Li's heroes."
This reason sounded reasonable, but everyone present sensed something strange about it. They just couldn't figure it out.
"Is it because of General Nangong?" Zhong Nianyao smiled at the Queen Mother and continued, "Isn't it because of Madam Nangong?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the empress dowager's face changed abruptly. She raised her head abruptly and looked at Zhong Nian Yao, her eyes full of surprise and doubt.
She didn't know if Zhong Nianyao really knew something, or if she was just trying to trick her.
"Empress Dowager, I think we should have a quiet chat alone," Zhong Nianyao continued, "Don't you think so?"
"How dare you!" Nanny Li scolded directly, "Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to ask to speak to the Empress Dowager alone? Do you have any evil intentions, wanting to hurt the Empress Dowager?"
Zhong Nianyao didn't even glance at Nanny Li, but continued to look at the Queen Mother. "What do you think, Queen Mother? If you really want to talk to me in front of so many people, then I don't mind."
"After all, I wasn't even born fifty years ago. However, the Empress Dowager at that time—"
"Shut up," the Queen Mother said anxiously, "If you have anything to say, wait a moment."
She really didn't dare to gamble now. If Zhong Nian Yao really knew about that incident and then said it so carelessly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Then, the Queen Mother directly ordered, "Everyone, get out."
After hearing the Queen Mother's order, everyone couldn't help but feel surprised. No one had expected that the Queen Mother would actually give such an order. They became even more curious about the meaning behind Zhong Nianyao's words.
However, everyone also understood that this was the imperial palace, and the last thing they needed was curiosity. Too much curiosity could easily cost them their lives.
If you were to ask who was the most curious right now, it would definitely be Nangong Xin. She always felt that what the Queen Mother and Zhong Nianyao were going to say involved her.
Moreover, she had a very bad feeling in her heart. It seemed that after Zhong Nianyao talked with the Queen Mother, her situation would become even more difficult.
Because of Zhong Mingxin's matter, Zhong Nianyao must be full of hostility towards her now. Zhong Nianyao will definitely not let her go.
Although she was filled with uneasiness, Nangong Xin didn't dare to say anything more.
Everyone filed out, and soon only the Queen Mother and Zhong Nian Yao were left in the hall.
The Queen Mother's eyes seemed to be filled with poison as she stared at Zhong Nian Yao so intently that the murderous intent in them almost overflowed.
"How about it? You want to kill me?"
Facing such a vicious look, Zhong Nianyao's expression did not change, and she even had a hint of a smile on her face. "It's a pity that you can only think about it. If you want to kill me, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do so."
That indifferent attitude clearly showed that he did not take the Queen Mother seriously.
The Queen Mother obviously noticed Zhong Nianyao's indifference. She was so angry that her teeth itched, "What on earth do you want to say to me?"
"Your Highness, you should know exactly what I want to say, right?"
Ignoring the Queen Mother's murderous gaze, Zhong Nianyao found a seat and sat down before looking up at the Queen Mother and continuing, "Do you really want me to clarify the relationship between you and Nangong Xin?"
"Zhong Nianyao!" The Queen Mother spoke directly and shouted, "If you dare to speak nonsense, don't blame me for being rude to you."
"Nonsense?" Zhong Nianyao blinked, looking innocent. "What nonsense does the Queen Mother think I would talk about? Is it about your relationship with Nangong Xin, or your relationship with Madam Nangong?"
The Queen Mother, who had been feeling somewhat hopeful, could not help but gasp after hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, "You...you..."
"You want to ask me how I did it, right?" Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "The Queen Mother must have forgotten my identity! As long as I want to know, I will definitely know."
"Even though you are unwilling to acknowledge my identity now, you cannot deny what abilities I possess."
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's expression, the Queen Mother was furious. "You...when did you know that?"
