Chapter 333 Chu Yuanle
Chu Yuanle was delighted to see the truth revealed. She calmly sat down on the stone bench next to her and poured herself a cup of tea. "The reason? Of course, I want to be the real queen mother."
The Empress Dowager's expression was complicated: "Aren't you the Empress Dowager now?"
Chu Yuanle said self-deprecatingly, "You only have the empty title of Empress Dowager. What kind of Empress Dowager is that? If you're gone, and Xiao Xuanli is still young, then I'll be the only one who can rule the country from behind the curtain, not you, the Grand Empress Dowager."
"I'm kind enough. I didn't intend to poison you directly. I just wanted you to die slowly from illness. You should thank me."
Xiao Xuanli directly exposed Chu Yuanle's thoughts, "You are not kind. You are worried that you will poison the Royal Grandmother. I will order a thorough investigation, and you will definitely not be able to hide. You don't want to sacrifice yourself because of the Royal Grandmother."
Chu Yuanle paused while sipping her tea, then suddenly drank it all in one gulp. "Whatever you say, I'm the emperor's mother. Can you still execute me?"
Xiao Xuanli said coldly, "So what if she's my mother? Considering what you did to me before, even if I execute you, the officials won't say anything."
"Last time, when you joined forces with the rebels to rebel, all the officials demanded that you be severely punished. It was the Empress Dowager who defended you, saying that you were simply deceived and simply confined you."
"If the officials knew that you were plotting to murder the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid they wouldn't agree even if she wanted to protect you."
Chu Yuanle's face changed, and he suddenly said frantically, "So what? I am the Empress Dowager, the current Empress Dowager, your mother. Ultimately, my life and death will be in the hands of you, the Emperor. Do you dare to execute me? Aren't you afraid of being accused of treason?"
The Empress Dowager angrily said, "The Emperor can decide your life or death, and so can I!"
Xiao Xuanli said: "Besides, you are only my adoptive mother, not my biological mother."
Chu Yuanle said, "But I was the one who raised you. Even though you're dissatisfied with me and think I didn't raise you well, at least I didn't let you starve to death. Now I've even made you the emperor!"
"Do you think I'm still alive because of you?" Xiao Xuanli glanced at Chu Yuanle in disappointment, then turned and said, "Grandmother, the Queen Mother wants to kill you. You are the one who decides to punish me. I have no objection to any punishment."
The Grand Empress Dowager nodded and had Chu Yuanle kneel before her. She spoke condescendingly, "Sometimes death isn't the best punishment. Death can free a person, but that's too cheap. Living a life worse than death is the cruelest punishment for a person."
"You've been pampered your entire life, never suffered hardship or hunger, and everything you wear and use is the best."
"Everything you planned in your life was to make yourself live a good life, even at the cost of hurting the son you raised."
"You also love beauty the most. I heard that you have punished the palace maids countless times for combing out a hair of yours."
"Since that's the case, I won't let you have your way."
"From today on, you will go to Baiyun Temple, be ordained as a monk, and from now on, you will live the rest of your life like an ancient Buddha wearing green robes, eating simple meals and drinking plain tea."
Baiyun Temple?
Isn't that a nunnery?
Still want to shave your head?
Her favorite hair is about to be gone!
And she will die if she has no meat to eat!
Chu Yuanle was terrified and couldn't help but look at his son. "Emperor, you are my son. Are you just going to watch your grandmother abuse me like this?"
