Chapter 1205 The Deadline Is Approaching
The Queen Mother had a feeling when she woke up today.
It seemed as if her time had come.
Her health had not been very good in the past two years, but Fu Zhaoning's nourishing heart pills allowed her to live a peaceful life for another two years.
But these days she always dreamed of Xiao Lanyuan's mother.
That beautiful and noble woman kept smiling at her in her dream, and her eyes seemed to be saying something.
She also dreamed of the retired emperor, but the retired emperor did not appear with the woman.
After getting up today, the Queen Mother inexplicably felt that her end was really coming.
I don't know how to describe this feeling, I just know I'm almost there. She was actually in better spirits than the day before yesterday, and she ate a lot.
After packing up her private treasury and secretly sending someone to send it out of the palace, she heard about what happened in Prince Jun's Mansion and hurried to see the emperor.
The Queen Mother's idea was simple. While she still had a breath left, she should protect A Yuan openly and honestly.
She had wanted to do this for a long time.
"Zhao Ning, you don't need to persuade me. I have seen clearly that the older the emperor gets, the simpler his thinking becomes."
The Queen Mother waved her hand to interrupt Fu Zhaoning's words. She looked at the Emperor with a stern face, "Your Majesty, A Yuan is almost thirty years old. If he wanted to do something to your position, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"
"Mother!"
The emperor's face darkened and he shouted angrily, trying to stop the empress dowager from continuing.
How could she make it so clear?
"Your Majesty, are you afraid that I will tell you? You have been staring at A Yuan, who was not even as tall as your knees, since you were young. I don't understand. The emperor clearly told you that he would not consider giving A Yuan the position of Zhao State. It is precisely because of this that he will compensate him in other ways. Why don't you believe it?"
The emperor became angry when he saw that he could not stop the empress dowager from continuing to speak.
He slammed the table and said in a deep voice, "But why? I should have been the crown prince! The throne should have been mine. Since it is a matter of course, why should I compensate Yuan? He is the younger brother. It is already good enough for him to be an idle prince. Why should I compensate him?"
He couldn't understand what the retired emperor said.
What is there to compensate?
This compensation made him feel as if he had robbed Xiao Lanyuan of his things.
Moreover, he had to worry that if the compensation was not enough, Xiao Lanyuan would want to take back the throne.
He also doesn't know when the compensation will be paid!
"It would be fine if he could be compensated with some gold, silver, jewels, or a house and garden. I would have no objection to letting him live a life of luxury and comfort for the rest of his life. But what did my father give him?"
The emperor became angrier and angrier as he spoke. "He was given the Dragon Shadow Guard! He was given the seal of the Zhao Kingdom! Moreover, I know that my father must have told him some secrets, such as the deal with Dong Qing and Dong Qing's secrets. He must have told him all of them."
"My father also found him a master with the highest martial arts skills. He also found rare flowers and herbs for him since he was a child, which improved his physique to the best and allowed him to practice peerless martial arts! He also left him a batch of treasures. Otherwise, how could my private treasury be so empty now?"
"What are you thinking about? What the retired emperor left him is naturally what should have belonged to him. It does not belong to Zhaoguo!" the Queen Mother shouted.
But how could the emperor believe it?
"Mother, are you still trying to deceive me? Haven't you been pretending for so many years? You've always said you hated him, but in fact you've always been protecting him!"
