"What's wrong with that? It's enough for her to be the Queen Mother of the Zhou Dynasty and my mother. I will be filial to her and treat her well. I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance." Zhong Zhiheng stroked the tea bowl and paused. He then said slowly, "As for the Xu family, they will have nothing to do with the Queen Mother from now on."
"Yes. Your Majesty is kind and filial, and is a role model for us," Dai Jingfeng said hurriedly. After a pause, he looked at Zhong Zhiheng again, "But what if the Queen Mother is still concerned about the deposed Crown Prince?"
"As a grandmother, what's wrong with her caring about her grandson? Besides, he was raised by her. I would find it strange if she didn't care about him." Zhong Zhiheng said slowly.
"But isn't His Majesty most annoyed by the Queen Mother pleading for mercy for the deposed Crown Prince?" Dai Jingfeng asked puzzledly.
"The present is different from the past. It is time to cut the Gordian knot. I will not be soft-hearted. But now that the Queen Mother has broken with the Xu family, what should I worry about? Let her be. She is just a grandmother who is worried about her grandson." Zhong Mingwei said, and looked at Dai Jingfeng again. "How is Ningguta doing?"
"Your Majesty, things are much calmer in Ningguta now. Since Your Majesty killed Yu Tangchun in the palace, most of the people in Ningguta have withdrawn." Dai Jingfeng said hurriedly.
"Where are the people?" Zhong Zhiheng asked again.
Dai Jingfeng was startled for a moment, then he realized what Zhong Zhiheng was asking, and immediately said hurriedly: "The deposed prince was indeed deposed. He was severely tortured in the clan residence, and was bumpy on the road for three months during the coldest time. He was paralyzed before he even reached Ningguta. I'm afraid he will never be able to stand up again."
Dai Jingfeng looked at Zhong Mingwei's expression, paused, and added: "Even if he is lucky enough to stand up, I am afraid that his body will not be like a normal person for the rest of his life. Not to mention whether he can walk normally, I am afraid that he can't even have normal sex. The body of the deposed prince must have been damaged when he was in the clan house, and he has been taking medicine for so many years. He looks no different from a normal person, but his body is probably already useless."
"I see," Zhong Mingwei nodded slowly, his narrow eyes showing no trace of pity or compassion. After a pause, he cast his gaze on a painting on the wall. When his gaze fell on the face of the woman in the painting, he revealed a trace of disappointment and sighed softly, "But Siyao must be heartbroken."
Dai Jingfeng's eyes also fell on the painting. The woman in the painting was not very charming and enchanting. She had pale skin and thin lips, which was not the most fashionable beauty in the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, her face was so spotless. Her eyes were far away and ethereal. I didn't know what she was looking at, but such a light look and a light face made the burly Dai Jingfeng lower his head. This was not the first time he saw this portrait, but no matter how many times he saw it, he would always sigh in his heart, how could this be a mortal woman? This was clearly the pure and cold Guanyin.
No wonder the Emperor is so obsessed with her, Dai Jingfeng couldn't help but said secretly in his heart, but then he thought it was a little ridiculous. Of course he didn't dare to laugh out loud, but looking at Zhong Zhiheng's silent and affectionate eyes, he still turned his eyes away.
"Your Majesty, if you have no other instructions, I will take my leave." After waiting for a long time without seeing Zhong Zhiheng speak, Dai Jingfeng had no choice but to bite the bullet and say.
"Oh, you haven't been home for several months. Go back." Zhong Zhiheng then withdrew his gaze from the painting and nodded to Dai Jingfeng.
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Dai Jingfeng bowed and took his leave.
"Wait!" Zhong Zhiheng suddenly called Dai Jingfeng again.
"Yes, I wonder if His Majesty has any other instructions?" Dai Jingfeng walked back in a hurry.
"Go and check someone for me," Zhong Zhiheng said to Dai Jingfeng while stroking his tea bowl. After a pause, he added, "You don't have to check it yourself. Just find someone to check it."
