Chapter 334 Foster Mother
"Although I'm not your biological mother, you grew up drinking my milk. I truly treat you as my own son."
"I, your mother, am the only person in this world who cares deeply about your own good. I know I went too far before, but I know I was wrong. Your grandmother did this because she wanted to control you in the future and prevent you from ever becoming a true emperor. Do you understand that?"
"Your grandmother still has a son. She holds the power in her hands. She only cares about her own son. You are just her grandson, a level of distance between us. She will get rid of you sooner or later."
"I am your mother. I will never hurt you. You cannot let me go to Baiyun Temple. If word gets out that the current emperor's adoptive mother is a nun, it will be bad for your reputation."
Xiao Xuanli said indifferently, "You will never hurt me? You tried to kill me countless times when I was a child. If it weren't for my grandmother, I would have died long ago."
"You said this just to avoid going to Baiyun Temple. The only person in the world who treats me the best is my grandmother."
"Grandmother would never try to control me. For the past two years, she has only sat behind the curtains and never interfered with my decisions during court."
"The ministers haven't asked her for anything in the past two years."
"She never interfered with the memorials I reviewed, and never asked me to revise them according to her opinions."
"My father is also my grandmother's biological son. I have eyes and can see clearly how my grandmother treats me. There is no need for you to sow discord here."
"And the army's tiger talisman has long been in my hands."
After Xiao Xuanli finished speaking, he took out the tiger talisman that he had prepared long ago and said, "Grandmother Empress Dowager has already given me the power."
Seeing his son obtain the Tiger Tally so easily, Chu Yuanle's face turned pale. "How...how is this possible? How could she be willing to give up the power she worked so hard to obtain? How could she not let her son become emperor, but let you, her grandson, become emperor? You didn't come out of her belly!"
Xiao Xuanli scoffed, "Why not? Because the Empress Dowager is truly doing this for my own good. Do you think all women are like you, possessing a strong desire to control their own children?"
"you!"
The Grand Empress Dowager: "Come here, take off her empress dowager's clothes and take her to Baiyun Temple immediately. Send someone to watch her. If she tries to escape or has any other ideas, report it immediately."
The palace maids immediately stepped forward and did as they were told, and quickly sent the person away.
Chu Yuanle kept resisting, but it was no use. He could only curse at the Empress Dowager, but his mouth was soon blocked again.
Xiao Xuanli looked at the Grand Empress Dowager apologetically: "Grandmother, I didn't know that you were so tolerant of her, but she actually wanted to kill you."
The Empress Dowager hugged him and said, "It's okay, don't worry. Thanks to you, I was able to go to Qingyu Village and meet A'man today. Otherwise, I might have committed suicide in a few days."
Xiao Xuanli nodded gloomily, he still felt very uncomfortable.
It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel sad that he had abused his mother since he was a child and hurt his grandmother who had protected him and even helped him to the top.
Seeing her grandson's low mood, the Empress Dowager had to change the subject. She suddenly smiled and said, "Song Chuman, no, I'll call her A'man from now on. A'man is really my lucky star. I'm going to visit Qingyu Village more often in the future. Maybe I can even see a giant sea turtle. I'll try to live to be a hundred years old. Don't think I'm too old to die then."
