Chapter 198 Asking Something
The Queen Mother fainted again.
The people in the palace were in a state of anxiety.
Yun Zhao took advantage of the night, wearing a black cloak, and arrived at the coldest place in the palace—
Cold Palace.
"It's you!" Eunuch Li beside the Queen Mother narrowed his eyes.
Yun Zhao smiled softly, "Eunuch Li, I don't have any other intentions. I just came to ask you something."
Under the moonlight, the black mole on Eunuch Li's palm became more and more obvious.
After Yun Zhao's gaze passed lightly over it, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes!
"Who do you think you are!" As the Queen Mother's secret guard, Eunuch Li naturally did not take Yun Zhao seriously. "I'm just a small noble. I'm the most capable person by the Queen Mother's side. How dare you tie me up here? Do you want to die?"
Eunuch Li had his hands tied behind his back to a pillar, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes!
He stared at Yun Zhao coldly, "Untie me immediately! Otherwise, I will report to the Queen Mother and you will suffer the consequences!"
Yun Zhao smiled lightly, took a chair for himself and sat down opposite Eunuch Li.
Then, he whispered, "Eunuch Li, you entered the palace at the age of five. Your parents are still alive, and with the Empress Dowager's blessing, your family is very wealthy and powerful outside. Eunuch Li, you said you were the most capable person around the Empress Dowager, but I wonder how you will repay the blood on your hands!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li made a "Pooh" sound, his expression ferocious and terrifying.
"I work for the Queen Mother. There's nothing wrong with what she tells me to do. You've committed a grave mistake by locking me up here without permission! I'll wait and report this to the Queen Mother!"
Yun Zhao said softly, "The Queen Mother is unconscious and won't be able to get up for a while."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li's face was filled with shock.
"What did you say?!"
After a moment, Eunuch Li's face showed a look of sudden realization. "It's you! You caused the hives on the Queen Mother's body!"
Yun Zhao shook his head. "That's not urticaria at all. It's just a poison that causes the same symptoms as urticaria."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li glared at Yun Zhao and said, "How dare you attack the Queen Mother! Yun Zhao, you don't want to live anymore!"
Yun Zhao sat on a large chair, his expression expressionless. "Do you think the Queen Mother still has a chance to wake up?"
As soon as these words fell, the expression on Eunuch Li's face froze!
"What did you say?"
Yun Zhao said, "Don't worry about what I say. I just want to ask you one question: why did the Queen Mother kill my family?"
Eunuch Li paused for a moment, "Who?"
Yun Zhao: "On the border, there is a pair of elderly couples."
Eunuch Li was stunned. "You must be joking. I have never been to the frontier."
Yun Zhao frowned when he heard this, "What did you say?!"
Eunuch Li said, "I have never been to the frontier. Besides, the Queen Mother is in a high position. Do I need to kill your parents to deal with you? Besides, who are your parents? They are just common people. Do they need to be killed? You think too highly of your parents."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao fell into a long silence.
Eunuch Li was about to use his inner strength to break the ropes on his body.
But I couldn't break free.
Yun Zhao narrowed his eyes. "Is what you just said true? Did the Queen Mother send anyone else to do this?"
Eunuch Li: "How is that possible? The Queen Mother's secret guards are under my control. How could I not know what they have done? Quickly untie the ropes on me."
Yun Zhao looked at the expression on Eunuch Li's face and realized that he simply didn't want to lie.
Eunuch Li said, "Besides, I'm not the only one with a mole on my tiger's mouth. Concubine Yi's brother, his personal attendant, has a mole on his tiger's mouth! It's even bigger than mine! Why don't you say it's him?!"
Eunuch Li was still struggling.
Yun Zhao said coldly, "Don't struggle. You've been poisoned by my cartilage powder and won't survive for more than an hour."
Eunuch Li was shocked when he heard this.
"you!"
"I already told you, it wasn't me!"
Yun Zhao stood up calmly, "But someone wants you dead."
Eunuch Li, "Who!"
Yun Zhao: "Your Majesty."
When Yun Zhao left the cold palace, Xie Jingmo had already rushed over with a ferocious look on his face. "Yun Zhao, if you don't give me the antidote, the Queen Mother will really vomit blood and die! I promise you, it wasn't the Queen Mother who killed your parents!"
Yun Zhao looked at Xie Jingmo for a long time, and then handed him a prescription.
Xie Jingmo took the prescription and left like the wind.
Yun Zhao went directly to the queen's palace.
The queen is watering the flowers.
"I'm pregnant. If you touch me, it will cost both my life and my life."
"Yun Zhao, at least I didn't lie to you about one thing. Eunuch Li beside the Queen Mother does have a mole on his palm, and the attendants beside Concubine Yi's brother also have one.
I simply forgot to tell you that one of the people I sent to investigate discovered that your parents had been tightly clutching the Chang family badge. Because they couldn't tear it off and were afraid of leaving evidence, they chopped off your father's hand. My people discovered it along the way."
"As for why I didn't tell you right from the start and even tried to trick the Queen Mother into believing she was the murderer of your parents, it's because the Emperor and I are estranged. It's all because of the Queen Mother. Even if I die, I will exact revenge on her!"
"However, I didn't expect that you were so capable that you could cling to the Emperor and even dare to attack the Empress Dowager. Yun Zhao, I underestimated you."
Yun Zhao stood at the gate of the Queen's palace, feeling cold all over.
"So, you've been using me as a bargaining chip in your power struggle?"
"Queen," Yun Zhao didn't wait for the Queen's reply, but smiled faintly and said, "I can also make sure that the child in your belly doesn't live to see tomorrow."
A trace of fear flashed across the queen's face.
But soon, she smiled and said, "To make up for your sin, I'll give you something."
The queen sent her maid into the house and brought out a box. "This is the token your father held in his hand until his death."
Yun Zhao narrowed his eyes. "You want me to deal with Concubine Yi for you? If I use the same method a second time, it will be meaningless!"
Upon hearing this, the Queen laughed crazily, "This time it's true."
Yun Zhao: "Then tell me, why was Chang Heng seriously injured?"
The Queen said, "There was another group of people that day. In the chaos, the two groups confronted each other and injured Chang Heng. As for who the other group was, I don't know. My people only said that there were quite a few of them, and that screams could be heard all night long."
Yun Zhao was silent.
The Queen looked at Yun Zhao and said, "Although I am dissatisfied with Concubine Yi, for me, if the Emperor doesn't favor Concubine Yi, then he will favor Concubine Li. To me, there is no difference."
"So there's no need for me to go to great lengths to harm her. Believe it or not, I've already told you everything I know."
Yun Zhao stared at her, "Why did Concubine Yi attack my parents?"
At that time, she was still protecting her——
fetal.
Yun Zhao's eyes froze.
The queen looked at Yun Zhao's expression and knew that Yun Zhao had thought of it.
"In this palace, there is only profit, no warmth, Yun Zhao, this is the first lesson I am teaching you."
"Don't hate me. You may have lied to me, but I also submitted a letter of surrender to the emperor. You will only be reused by the emperor in the future. Isn't that good?"
The Queen laughed.
Yun Zhao looked at her and remembered that before this queen got married, she was the descendant of a brave and resourceful general on the battlefield.
She underestimated her.
