Chapter 240 You Have Already Planned It
The emperor had no choice. With trembling hands, he wrote Queen Chen's name on the edict.
"The Chen family is powerful. Do you think you can control the government?" The emperor was unwilling to give up until his death.
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "I am the Queen Mother. Although the child I support is not the biological child of Queen Chen, the surname is Chen.
Besides, the Chen family was afraid that I would tell the children everything and alienate them, so I had their weaknesses in my hands."
Upon hearing this, the emperor gritted his teeth in anger.
"You've planned all this a long time ago!"
"No," Yun Zhao put the imperial edict in his sleeve, "I didn't think about these things before Mu Chengyan was framed. The poison in your body was not given by me, but by Concubine Yi.
She didn't want you to live, she gave you a sufficient amount of drugs from the beginning, so you will definitely die, and I am just going along with it, forced into this step by you."
Otherwise, the world will change drastically.
Mucheng Yan could not escape the consequences alone.
She would then become Mu Chengyan's weak spot, and become an insignificant pawn under his overwhelming power.
The final outcome is only death.
Originally, she still had some hope for Queen Chen, but after seeing Mu Chengyan disappear, she realized that Queen Chen was trying to protect herself.
People, at any time, can only rely on themselves.
She wasn't seeking this path.
In reality, she had no choice.
However, she didn't waste any time talking to the emperor. She extinguished the candle, and the light in the emperor's eyes gradually went out.
Fu Hai wailed, "The Emperor has passed away!"
There was chaos outside again.
Yun Zhao sat beside the emperor. The only light left in the room was a faint candle on the wall. Someone outside began to cry, and the sound gradually became louder.
Xie Jingmo looked at Yun Zhao with a gloomy look in his eyes. "The situation in the court is constantly changing. Do you really think you can control it?"
Yun Zhao's voice emerged from the darkness, "Xie Jingmo, have you ever heard a word?"
"In an avalanche, no feather is innocent."
You have a responsibility to get to where you are today.
Yun Zhao is not stupid. She can clearly see the man's arrogance, pride, loneliness and ruthlessness.
But she also knew deeply about the so-called ridiculous self-esteem engraved in her bones.
Yun Zhao said, "The future will indeed be difficult, but with the support of the former queen's family and the strong support of Queen Chen's family, and with the guarantee of you, the general, the prince, I will have no worries about my future."
Xie Jingmo was furious. "I won't be used by you! Don't dream."
Yun Zhao smiled. "Really? But don't you love repaying a favor the most? To repay a favor, you can give everything for Lin Ruyu. I have saved you many times, Xie Jingmo, it's time for you to repay me."
Some debts are owed and you don't have to pay them back immediately.
But in the end, what you owe is what you owe.
One day, you will get it back a hundredfold, a thousandfold!
Yun Zhao stood up and walked out of the darkness. She patted Xie Jingmo on the shoulder and said, "Let me see how far General Xie can go to repay his kindness."
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he showed a sinister and cold smile.
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he walked out to where the moonlight was.
She held two imperial edicts in her hands.
She glanced in the direction of Liziguai and blinked with some regret.
Then, she opened the imperial edict and spread its contents throughout the entire inner hall in a clear and majestic voice.
After Imperial Noble Consort Chen learned of the imperial edict, she was first happy, and then angry.
"What is Yun Zhao doing on his own?!"
"Who asked her to read the imperial edict like this?"
"I gave birth to a princess, and I will make her the emperor!"
Empress Chen's eyes were cold, "Come here! Kill Yun Zhao for me! Change the imperial edict! I want my child to become an empress who will be remembered for generations to come!"
There is no logic in the face of interests.
There is no reason either.
There is no bottom line.
Imperial Concubine Chen was unwilling to pave the way for other people's children. But the Chen family knew too well that this was absolutely unacceptable for the Empress, as this was a patriarchal society!
Passing by a dark place, someone stretched out a dagger.
By the time someone discovered it, a deadly blade had been stabbed into Empress Chen's chest.
The Chen family members came in front of Yun Zhao and knelt down.
"I obey the Emperor's orders and support the new Emperor and the new Empress!"
"Please ask the Queen Mother to rule from behind the curtain!"
The former emperor's family members all knelt down.
The general trend was unstoppable, and the voices echoed throughout the palace over and over again, "Please ask the Queen Mother to rule from behind the curtain!"
Everything changed overnight.
The sun still rises.
The sky of the Forbidden City has changed from sun to moon.
Concubine Yi and all members of the Chang family were imprisoned.
Someone came to report, "Empress Dowager, the son of the Chang family, Chang Heng, has fled to the Jiangnan area. We are pursuing him. When he is caught, will he be executed on the spot?"
Yun Zhao lowered his eyes slightly, "No need to chase."
Fu Hai was shocked when he heard this, "Queen Dowager, if we don't kill them all, there will be endless troubles in the future!"
Yun Zhao didn't say anything.
She was just sitting by the lotus pond. Now she is the queen of a country, but she still remembers that when she was humble, Chang Heng helped her without any distractions.
She will remember this kindness for the rest of her life.
Fu Hai sighed, then said, "The Rong family has escorted the Prince Regent back to Liziguai. The letter said that the Prince Regent's bones are broken and it will take at least five years to recover."
Yun Zhao said, "Issue an edict granting the Rong family a royal seal of honor for generations, along with inherited official positions and immense wealth. The princess will be given to Rong Chengyu, the eldest grandson of the Rong family. The Rong family will be ordered to treat the Prince Regent before returning to the capital."
Fu Hai's eyes were shocked.
The late emperor had only one princess.
Now it has been given to the Rong family, what an honor it is.
Yun Zhao had only one wish, that the person he loved would be healthy every day.
The Empress Dowager was ruling the country from behind the curtain, and the previous dynasty was in chaos and full of discussions.
Yun Zhao faced many difficulties in the palace.
But a few days later, he finally remembered her and went to the border to meet Mu Chengyan.
But he didn't enter.
Rong Xiao sighed and stood outside the door, "He is very stubborn."
After all.
It’s Yun Zhao’s fault for being so cruel.
"He understands your difficulties, but he was the one who supported the late emperor, and he still feels bad. The Queen Mother should come another day."
Yun Zhao rode away late at night. Apart from the door that was turned inside, the sound of a flute could be heard behind him.
She turned her head and saw a man standing on the city wall.
The man was dressed in white.
The wind moves the hem of the clothes.
Play the flute to bid her farewell in the direction she left.
Yun Zhao's eyes reddened slightly, he paused for a moment, and then spurred his horse and whipped it!
When Yun Zhao arrived in the capital, Xie Jingmo was standing at the door to greet him.
He was filled with anger, but more of it was fear. He was afraid that Yun Zhao would leave him alone in the capital and fly away with Mu Chengyan, never to come back.
But when he saw people, all his anger disappeared.
Just looked at her and handed her the cloak.
"The court is in chaos lately, don't go around."
Yun Zhao put on his cloak and got into the carriage.
Xie Jingmo followed him in. Yun Zhao raised his eyelids and looked at him coldly, "General Xie, you have overstepped your bounds. This is not the place for you to enter."
Xie Jingmo sat opposite Yun Zhao.
"I can help you."
Yun Zhao raised his eyebrows.
"But not out of guilt."
