Chapter 371 My Home
"So, as long as you are obedient, I will definitely treat you well and make you the most honorable Empress Dowager of the Great Qi. How do you think?"
“Snap—”
A slap landed on Mo Junxing's face.
"You killed my son, and you still want me to be as kind and filial as you are to your son? Dream on!"
Mo Junxing sneered.
He pressed his tongue against the beaten face and rushed forward to strangle Empress Xiao's neck.
"In that case, how about I send you off now?"
This moment happened so quickly that Empress Xiao widened her eyes.
Dasheng behind him hurriedly persuaded him.
"Your Highness, please calm down, calm down. The Queen cannot die at this time!"
Fortunately, Mo Junxing was not completely irrational. He quickly let go of Empress Xiao after hearing this.
Empress Xiao was completely frightened. She took several steps back and looked at Mo Junxing warily.
Mo Junxing took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands casually.
"The Empress has also fallen ill due to her concern for her father's health. Now, according to the imperial physician's instructions, the doors and windows need to be closed to allow the Empress to rest and recuperate."
After saying that, Mo Junxing casually threw the handkerchief in his hand to the ground, then turned and left.
Empress Xiao watched Mo Junxing leave before she spoke with lingering fear.
"Crazy, what a madman."
"If our Great Qi's kingdom were to be handed over to this madman, it would be over."
Although Empress Xiao wanted to pass on the message to the Xiao family, she was under house arrest and had no way to do so.
Soon, the situation in the court changed.
The monarch at that time fell ill due to anger over the fourth prince's rebellion, and his health deteriorated.
For this reason, Mo Junxing did not hesitate to serve his father personally, washing his father's body and taking care of his excrement and urine with his own hands.
All this was seen by the ministers, palace maids and eunuchs present.
They all praised Mo Junxing highly.
However, the monarch's illness became more and more serious, and finally, he passed away in one night.
Afterwards, Mo Junxing was heartbroken and personally handled the monarch's funeral.
The Queen was so heartbroken that she was bedridden.
The few times he appeared, he couldn't even walk and had to be carried by eunuchs.
Later, the funeral ended.
Mo Junxing ascended the throne as emperor at the urging of his ministers.
Shortly after he ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Xiao, who had been ill, suddenly "escaped" with the help of the Xiao family and exposed Mo Junxing's evil deeds one by one in the hall.
In her mouth.
It was Mo Junxing who killed the crown prince and two princes, poisoned Her Majesty, and placed her under house arrest.
For this, Mo Junxing sighed, his eyes full of sadness.
"Mother, are you possessed by a demon because you miss the late Crown Prince so much?"
"If you feel that it would make you feel better if I killed the late crown prince, then you can feel that way."
"And I only hope that you will listen to the imperial physician, take your medicine on time, and stop talking nonsense."
As soon as Mo Junxing said this, no one in the court believed what Empress Dowager Xiao said.
Seeing that the court officials now trusted Mo Junxing, Empress Dowager Xiao quickly changed her strategy. She no longer confronted Mo Junxing, but instead took the opportunity to talk about her own illness.
She also acted out the role of a loving mother and a filial son, which completely defeated Mo Junxing and made it impossible for him to keep her under house arrest in front of the ministers.
It was also because of this that Empress Xiao once again united with the Xiao family, gradually regained power, and took away half of the power in the court.
Mo Junxing had anticipated this, but the Xiao family's strength was simply beyond his current capabilities.
So the two forces have been fighting openly and secretly until now.
This is also the main reason why Empress Dowager Xiao would do anything to kill Mo Junxing.
Since Mo Junxing ascended the throne, he gradually began to reveal his true nature, and let the ministers see his cruel temper, so that some ministers began to believe what Empress Dowager Xiao said about him killing his father and brother.
However, because of Mo Junxing's personality, no one dared to object to his words.
The years passed by like a dream.
Now waking up from the dream, Mo Junxing slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as I opened my eyes, what caught my eye was Gu Jingchun's profile lying on the table.
Her hands were folded, her face buried in her arms, her eyes were closed, and her eyelashes cast a shadow on her face.
The tightly closed lips were bright red and plump, making him look at them again and again.
At this time, it was still dark, but some light still came through the window and shone on Gu Jingchun, making her seem to be wearing light, gradually illuminating Mo Junxing's eyes.
In fact, Mo Junxing prefers the night to the day.
In the dark night, when everything is silent, he can finally calm down.
He also dared to look at her face openly.
However, at this moment, he saw the beauty of daylight for the first time.
The light at this moment was so clear and so exciting for him.
He just looked at Gu Jingchun, watching the sky brighten, watching her face become clearer and clearer under the sunlight.
Until, outside the window, there were bursts of sounds of chickens crowing and birds singing.
The two old people have also started working.
He heard the sound of the door opening outside.
"Creaky" and "Creaky" are the sounds of an old house that has been in disrepair for a long time.
Mo Junxing frowned slightly, fearing that he would wake up Gu Jingchun.
Sure enough, Gu Jingchun's eyelashes moved and he slowly opened his eyes.
Having just woken up, she looked ahead blankly, then slowly stood up, gently pounding her stiff and numb arms, and then looked at Mo Junxing.
When he saw that Mo Junxing actually had his eyes open and was looking at him, he snorted coldly.
"snort!"
"It really is a scourge that has lasted for thousands of years. Even with this, he can't die."
Mo Junxing sneered, "Don't worry about that. If I really die one day, I will definitely drag you down with me."
Gu Jingchun: "Pooh!"
"You're dreaming!"
At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door outside.
When Gu Jingchun opened the door, even the mother-in-law brought over two bowls of porridge.
"There's nothing to eat at home right now, so I made some porridge. You can try it first. I'll ask my wife to go to town and see if there's any suitable food."
Gu Jingchun immediately took it with a smile.
"You're so polite, mother-in-law. My son is injured and can't eat anything else right now. White porridge is just right for him."
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, the tension on the mother-in-law's face was reduced a little.
After all, just from their attire and conversation, she guessed that they were of extraordinary status, so she served them with great care.
When Mo Junxing heard Gu Jingchun say "my family", his heart skipped a beat for no reason. A strange feeling quickly spread from his heart to his palms.
