Chapter 193 Let me tell you in advance
Yun Zhao had only been in the palace for a short time, but he already knew too well that this was a public place where the strong preyed on the weak.
She whispered, "I see clearly."
The Queen Mother nodded. "I know you've been at the frontier for many years and have been tainted with banditry, but you must know that this is the Imperial Palace, a place of power and wealth. You can't just do whatever you want!"
It is understandable that the Queen Mother is unhappy.
Yun Zhao did not marry Xie Jingmo as a concubine, but instead became the emperor's noble lady. Naturally, she felt resentful and hateful.
But because she is the emperor's concubine, nothing will be done to her for the time being.
That's the benefit of being in a high position.
Others may not like you, but they can only watch.
Yun Zhao was never one to argue with others. She lowered her head and replied respectfully, "The Queen Mother is right!"
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes. "But since you have entered this palace, you should do your duty quietly. If you cause any disputes between Jing Mo and the Emperor, I will hold you accountable!"
Yun Zhao lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid this is beyond my control. I think you should talk to Xie Jingmo about this."
"Pa!" A slap fell.
The Queen Mother glared at him, "How dare you! Who gave you permission to speak like that?!"
One side of Yun Zhao's face was swollen, but his attitude remained neither humble nor arrogant. "I have said it before, I have no feelings for Xie Jingmo now, but no one believes me, not even Xie Jingmo himself.
Queen Mother, I am just a woman. I cannot control what Xie Jingmo wants to do. I only know that the emperor is the only one in my heart now."
When Yun Zhao said this, Xie Jingmo was standing at the door.
The Queen Mother raised her eyes and saw Xie Jingmo's trembling eyes!
He stared blankly at Yun Zhao's back, as if he had not expected that one day he would hear Yun Zhao say that he had someone else in his heart.
He rushed in almost uncontrollably and pulled Yun Zhao out.
He looked at Yun Zhao threateningly, "What did you just say? Say it again!"
Yun Zhao: "I'm telling the truth!"
Xie Jingmo: "I don't believe it! Yun Zhao, I tell you, unless I die, I won't believe that you will fall in love with someone else! Tell me, what are you thinking?
Why do you rely on the Emperor? Is it because you want to find out the truth about your parents' murder? If so, I can do the same! Why do you need to rely on the Emperor?! The Emperor is no more reliable than me!
Yun Zhao's eyes were indifferent.
At this moment, there was a shout that the emperor had arrived.
Yun Zhao shook off Xie Jingmo's hand and walked to the side of the emperor.
Xie Jingmo looked at his empty palms and for a moment, he still couldn't accept it.
"Xie General, you've crossed the line."
After saying this, the Emperor extended his hand, "Today is your first day as a noble. I will go with you to meet the Empress Dowager. From now on, you will be mine."
The emperor said this while looking at Yun Zhao, but it seemed as if he was speaking to Xie Jingmo.
Xie Jingmo stood there, watching the emperor holding Yun Zhao's hand and entering the empress dowager's palace.
Suddenly, there was a scene of loving mother and filial son.
Xie Jingmo frowned and was about to rush in, but was stopped by someone. Xie Jingmo turned around and was about to draw his sword when he saw the familiar face of Deputy General Gao.
"How did you get in?"
"The emperor asked me to be his personal guard, Xie Jingmo, calm down!"
Xie Jingmo was unable to calm down at all. He wanted to draw his sword, but was held back by Deputy General Gao.
Deputy General Gao pulled the man aside and said angrily, "You don't want to live anymore, don't pull Yun Zhao!"
"You have to understand that the person in front of you is the emperor! His patience with you has its limits!"
"He may appear to be holding back now, but he's definitely unhappy on the inside. The Emperor's reign is still unstable, so he's trying to avoid you. What about the future?"
"Xie Jingmo, you are now a prince and a general, and you are not afraid of anything, but Yun Zhao has nothing! If those old stubborn people in the court impeach her, how can she survive in this deep palace in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingmo's hand that was about to draw his sword stopped instantly.
Xie Jingmo looked inside through the corridor and saw Yun Zhao standing beside the emperor, gentle and well-behaved.
A surge of anger rose in his chest again!
"Jing Mo, forget it."
"Yun Zhao must have thought it through before taking this step. Why are you doing this?!"
Xie Jingmo was furious, "Why should I?! She was originally mine!"
Deputy General Gao said, "No one belongs to anyone forever. Besides, after all these years, you don't necessarily have to be Yun Zhao. You—"
Before he could finish his words, Xie Jingmo angrily retorted, "How do you know? I don't have to have her!"
Xie Jingmo's voice was very loud.
Deputy General Gao was stunned for a moment, then pulled the man aside. He spoke from the bottom of his heart, "It's too late. If it were someone else, it would be fine, but this is the emperor, the emperor under one emperor! Stop messing around."
Xie Jingmo stood there, his hands clenched into fists, "So what if you're the emperor! If I had wanted it back then, the throne would be mine now!"
When Deputy General Gao heard this, his legs started shaking with fear. "You are really crazy!"
"What do you dare to say?"
"If you really like her so much, you should have asked for her when the Queen Mother asked me to be Yun Zhao's concubine, instead of regretting it now. Okay, go back. It's too painful for you to see here."
Xie Jingmo frowned coldly. Deputy General Gao said hello to the people beside him, pulled Xie Jingmo and left quickly.
In the Queen Mother's Palace.
Yun Zhao only raised his head slightly when drinking tea.
The emperor glanced at Yun Zhao, and seeing that she had no expression on her face, he and Yun Zhao withdrew from the Empress Dowager's place.
The long palace.
The emperor and Yun Zhao walked one after the other.
The eunuchs followed behind them from a distance. From the perspective of outsiders, they were a pair of lovers deeply in love.
"Have you found out?" asked the emperor.
"No."
Emperor: "Not in the Empress Dowager's palace?"
"Every time I go, it's always the same eunuchs, but I know that the Queen Mother has a group of eunuchs who work for her."
As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor turned his head and glanced at Yun Zhao.
There was shock in his eyes.
Yun Zhao said: "Xie Jingmo told me before that the Queen Mother was secretly raising him. It's normal that you don't know."
The emperor's authority must not be challenged at any time.
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Did you tell me that on purpose?"
Yun Zhao lowered his head even lower. "If you ask, I will tell you."
The emperor frowned slightly. "In this palace, only I have the right to raise secret soldiers. The Queen Mother is confused." The emperor glanced at Yun Zhao. "You mentioned your many abilities before, so these secret soldiers will be handed over to you as a token of your surrender to me."
Yun Zhao lowered his head and replied, "Yes, but my methods may be a bit excessive, so I'm telling you in advance."
The emperor didn't say anything. When Yun Zhao looked up again, the emperor had already walked away.
Yun Zhao knew that Huang Shan agreed.
That night.
A big fire broke out in the Queen Mother's palace.
The fire was so big that it burned down the Queen Mother's palace.
As fierce as the fire, everyone in the Empress Dowager's palace broke out in hives.
Including the Queen Mother herself.
