Chapter 242 Now it’s not Yun Zhao, it’s the Queen Mother
Yun Zhao's decisiveness made Xie Jingmo stunned for a moment.
Concubine Yi's screams echoed throughout the dungeon.
The guard took a quick look and left in a hurry.
This is what it means to be at the pinnacle of power and do whatever you want.
"You vicious woman!"
Yun Zhao smiled lightly. She didn't care what people said about her.
She looked at Concubine Yi's pale face and asked, "Do you think that with just a few words from you, I can take all the blame on myself?"
Concubine Yi looked at Yun Zhao fiercely, "Evil woman! I will never tell you in my lifetime who colluded with me to harm Mu Chengyan. You are the empress dowager now, with tremendous power, but there are things you cannot know!"
Concubine Yi laughed crazily.
Yun Zhao sat on the armchair with a cold look in his eyes.
After Concubine Yi had laughed enough, she said lightly, "Do you think I will really be unable to do anything to you if you provoke me like this?"
Concubine Yi propped up her broken leg and casually spread it aside. "What else can you do to me? If you have the guts, just kill me."
Yun Zhao smiled softly, "You don't care about your own life, so I guess you don't care about the lives of your two children either?"
"You dare?!"
"These are the children of the late emperor, how dare you touch them!"
Yun Zhao didn't say anything. He sat on the armchair and smiled lightly and faintly.
But it feels very forced.
Concubine Yi's lips moved and she swallowed quickly.
Yun Zhao stood up gracefully. "Believe me, it's very simple for me to take someone's life, so don't challenge my patience. I'll give you three days to give me the answer I want. Otherwise, I will send you and your two children to see the late emperor."
Yun Zhao left after saying this.
Concubine Yi grabbed the wooden door with both hands and yelled, "Someone come! Someone is trying to kill the late emperor's child! Someone come!"
All that responded to her was the empty cell and the dull echo.
Xie Jingmo has been following Yun Zhao.
"Is Mu Chengyan so important to you? Even though Concubine Yi is like this, you still want to force her to give you an answer?"
Yun Zhao walked forward, his luxurious golden cloak looking even more noble in the night.
She didn't answer Xie Jingmo.
But Xie Jingmo felt that Yun Zhao seemed to have said everything.
"Do you like him that much?"
"You are now the Queen Mother. He wants to be the free and easy regent, but you want to move forward. Yun Zhao, your paths are different. Don't you understand?"
"The government is unstable right now. The late Queen and the Chen family are counting on you to rule the country from behind the scenes. But don't forget, once the situation stabilizes, they'll get rid of you. After all, who among them wants to be the new regent? How can a woman like you become emperor?"
Yun Zhao thought he was going to say the same thing again.
Such as——
Women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children.
Women should behave themselves.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jingmo said: "Yun Zhao, it's too difficult for you to do it alone. If you really want to be in that position, let me help you."
Yun Zhao paused for a few seconds in surprise.
Then resume walking.
"I once said that I owe you a lot and I will make it up to you in the future."
"If you're afraid of owing me a favor, then consider this as my way of making up for it. How about that?"
"If you want to climb higher, then I will be your stepping stone."
If Yun Zhao heard these words many years ago, he would probably be moved.
But now——
She was in a high position and her mood had changed a lot.
She sneered and looked at Xie Jingmo, "Why do you think I should believe you?"
"It's not like I don't have anyone to use."
"There are obstacles now, but I have power in my hands, and people will follow me. You have been stripped of your title of general, and you are nothing more than an idle prince. What use do I have for you?"
"Xie Jingmo, I'm not at the age where I'll be soft-hearted after hearing a few words, so, save your breath."
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he stepped onto the carriage.
The carriage swayed and gradually melted into the moonlight under Xie Jingmo's gaze.
Yun Zhao said that he didn't rely on Xie Jingmo, and he really didn't rely on Xie Jingmo.
At that time, all the soldiers on the border were promoted to varying degrees, and Deputy General Gao was directly appointed as the imperial guard.
And Xie Jingmo is still an idle prince.
"Everyone thought you would promote Xie Jingmo." The pavilion was empty, and Yun Zhao didn't put on airs. He told Deputy General Gao to sit down and eat some grapes while he threw fish food into the water. "After all, every position in the court is now filled with your people, but the position of Northwest General is still vacant. Is it reserved for him?"
Yun Zhao looked at the fish in the pond and said calmly, "No."
Deputy General Gao looked at Yun Zhao in surprise, "That is..."
Yun Zhao said, "This is reserved for Duan Jiafei. He recently went home to visit his family, and this seat will be given to him when he returns."
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Gao gave a thumbs-up and said, "You really have planned everything."
Yun Zhao said: "Before, because of my sister's matter, I let him down. Now, this is compensation. I understand him. He has -"
The words haven't been finished yet.
Then he heard the maid outside say anxiously, "My Lord, the Queen Mother is inside, you can't go in."
"My Lord, please don't embarrass me."
"Your Majesty!"
Yun Zhao turned around and saw Xie Jingmo shaking off the maid's hand and rushing in.
Deputy General Gao stood up and stepped aside.
"Why?!"
"You gave everyone appropriate positions, why did you miss me!" He told the people around him that Yun Zhao must have reserved a good position for him. Unexpectedly, everyone took up the position, but he was the only one who was bored in the mansion.
"It's not your turn to ask about this matter," Yun Zhao said with a calm expression, "I have my own plans."
"What are you planning?!"
"Your plan is to give the position to Duan Jiafei, right?"
"You were going to marry her, but things got delayed. Now that it's been so long, are you still going to make amends?"
"Duan Jiafei and I are definitely more suitable to be the Northwest General! The Northwest is a major threat. Yun Zhao, you can rest assured when I'm there!"
This sounds very beautiful.
At least Deputy General Gao sounded comfortable, but Yun Zhao's eyes were indifferent and his mood was cold. "It's not your turn to interfere with who to use. I think Duan Jiafei is very suitable."
Xie Jingmo's eyes flushed with anxiety when he heard this. "What do you mean by suitable?! Do you still have feelings for him?"
"Yun Zhao, I tell you, no matter who you are now, you will be mine for eternity!"
"You, the Northwest General, can only give it to me!"
Deputy General Gao looked at Yun Zhao in embarrassment, thinking that Yun Zhao would be helpless against Xie Jingmo just like before.
result--
Half an hour later.
Deputy General Gao helped Xie Jingmo walk out.
"Look at you, the Yun Zhao of today is no longer the Yun Zhao of the past. Now, you haven't even gotten the position, but you've been awarded thirty military sticks. You've lost both your dignity and your face."
Xie Jingmo gritted his teeth and turned to look into the lake. Yun Zhao was sitting in the middle of the lake in gorgeous clothes, looking incredibly beautiful.
Deputy General Gao followed Xie Jingmo's gaze.
"Now it's not Yun Zhao, it's the Queen Mother."
"You have to have respect, understand?"
