Upon hearing this, the emperor calmly explained, "Your Majesty, I misunderstood. I am doing this for your health."
"Living in this palace, there will always be a lot of troubles that bother you and make you angry."
"This temple is very peaceful and quiet. Apart from eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures, you won't have any worries. It's very beneficial to your health."
The Queen Mother was not relieved by his explanation.
The look he gave him was filled with resentment.
This is the son I have raised since childhood, but now he is alienated from my heart!
It's all the fault of this woman Jiang Mengli!
Seeing her terrifying look, the Queen smiled gently and said, "Mother, His Majesty made this decision because he really wants you to get better."
"Your Majesty will send someone to see you when the time comes, and I will also find time to visit you. As long as you are well again, you can return to the palace to live."
The Queen Mother took a deep breath, closed her eyes and said coldly, "Your Majesty's words are golden, what else can I say? Your Majesty is truly my good son!"
No one in the room continued the conversation.
Everyone remained silent.
After Jiang Mengli handed the prescription to the servant, he said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you for a favor. I heard that there are books on metaphysics, such as illusions, in the palace library."
The emperor nodded. "Yes, there is. Are you interested?"
Jiang Mengli smiled faintly and said, "I just want to take a look. I wonder if Your Majesty could lend it to me for a few days?"
"Why not?" The emperor readily agreed. "Eunuch Fu, take her to the library yourself. There are some medical books there. If she likes them, you can take a look."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Mengli smiled, knelt down and nodded in salute.
Then he followed Eunuch Fu out of the Cining Palace and headed to the library.
The emperor did not delay and immediately ordered his servants to pack up the empress dowager's things and prepare to send them to the temple today.
After giving the order, he dismissed all the servants and closed the door.
"Mother, just because you don't tell me something doesn't mean I don't know it." The emperor sat in front of the bed, with tears in his eyes.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes in annoyance, "I don't understand what you are saying."
On the surface, he seemed indifferent and did not look panicked.
But she was already feeling uneasy: What did the emperor know? Was he going to the temple to rest because he knew something?
Why……
The emperor sighed deeply and continued, "You asked me to get rid of the Jiang family before, saying that their reputation was too high and that if they were not eliminated, they would be a threat. I also believe this."
"Later, you began to mention Wen Mohan's threat, intentionally or unintentionally. Once the border was stabilized, you began to ask me to suppress and target him. The reason was the same."
"You said that the Duke of Rong's Mansion was my true support, that they would never betray me and that they wouldn't be ambitious, but in the end, it was the Duke of Rong's Mansion that betrayed me."
"When Wen Mohan went to meet the Langya Gang, why did you instigate me to withhold food and supplies? Withhold reinforcements? You said you wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of him, but in reality, you wanted the Langya Gang to win."
Having said that, the Queen Mother really couldn't help but speak.
She opened her eyes and retorted sharply, "Nonsense! You are my son. How could I possibly want the Langya Gang to take away your world?"
"Who on earth are you listening to? It must be Wen Mohan, or Jiang Mengli. What kind of people are they? How can you listen to their nonsense?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor just smiled helplessly.
It seemed like every time there was a disagreement, she would think of these two people.
But neither of them said anything, and didn't even ask about the affairs of Duke Rong's mansion.
"Mother, what kind of people do you think they are? I only know that they took the risk to eliminate the Langya Gang, and the Langya Gang is the one that the Rongguo Mansion is colluding with."
"You said I am your son, am I really your son?"
When the Queen Mother heard this, her pupils suddenly trembled.
His heart was beating rapidly and he was visibly nervous.
The emperor continued, "I have checked and found that you do have a son, a bastard. He looked very much like your wild man when he was born, so he was sent away overnight. His name is He Ying!"
"Later, you were unable to have children. You pretended to be pregnant and took the child of your sister-in-law. That child is me."
"Your sister died within three days of giving birth. They say she died of anger after giving birth to a dead fox."
ah……
The Queen Mother screamed and covered her ears, "Shut up, don't say anymore, it's all nonsense, it's not true!"
She had kept the secret for so many years and thought no one would ever know.
But now the emperor knows everything.
The emperor took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "I will keep these secrets, but you must go to the temple. This is already the greatest kindness I can offer you!"
After saying this, he turned away.
It didn't take long for the servants to pack their luggage.
The Queen Mother was carried out of the palace in a sedan chair and boarded a carriage to the temple.
When she left, Jiang Mengli also came out of the palace with a box of books.
The Queen Mother saw her through the curtain, her eyes full of hatred. If looks could kill, she would have been riddled with wounds.
"Jiang Mengli, I hate you!" The Queen Mother cursed, gritting her teeth. "You shouldn't be alive in this world. You should have died at the hands of a pharmacist in Puzhou City!"
"You and Wen Mohan both deserve to die. You should go to hell. My Rongguo Mansion is ruined by you. My grandfather is the one who was harmed by you..."
The carriage had gone far away, but the curses were still faintly heard.
Jiang Mengli listened to these words without showing any emotion and was very calm.
