"Your Majesty, is this what you mean?"
The Queen Mother had the last glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that these words were all spoken by Prince Jing, and that the Emperor had no such idea!
"yes."
The emperor's affirmative answer broke the queen mother's last illusion, and the Tang family was hopeless.
"Your Majesty, the Ai family has never begged you in these years. This time the Ai family begs you! Give the Tang family a way to survive, between our mother and son,"
"enough!"
The emperor wanted to hear what the Queen Mother had to say, but the other party's shamelessness made him unbearable. The Queen Mother was not worthy of the word mother and son!
"The Queen Mother wants to be superior to the Emperor?"
The emperor had a sullen face, and this look of hatred and anger made the queen mother feel panicked. The previous emperor was not like this! He actually brought out the ancestor emperor to suppress her. Is this because he was afraid that he would use his filial piety to threaten her?
"Your Majesty, why are you like this?"
The Queen Mother's tone was full of sorrow. In the past, when she acted like the other party had disappointed her, the Emperor would always give in, and it worked every time.
But this time the trick failed, the emperor remained unmoved, and his eyes were even filled with ridicule.
"It's just that I was blind before and didn't see through the Queen Mother."
The little palace maid next to the Queen Mother frowned slightly and looked in pain, because her hand holding the Queen Mother was scratched!
The Queen Mother was confused. Her voice trembled unconsciously. She twitched the corners of her stiff lips and said, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Some retribution is not about not being repaid, but because the time has not come yet. The Tang family's current ending shows that they have committed many sins in the past."
Zhou Jinyan suddenly said something strangely from the side.
The Queen Mother's face became paler. In fact, she had received news before that the emperor had not killed all the Tang family in the Dali Temple prison. Just when she felt relieved that the Tang family could be saved, she heard again this morning that Prince Jing had interrogated the Tang family. The whole family was tortured.
This time the Tang family is doomed.
So the Queen Mother hurried to the Imperial Study Room to find out what happened that made the Emperor change his mind! Seeing Prince Jing in the royal study, the Queen Mother screamed in her heart.
The bad premonition is getting worse. Looking at the current situation, it is indeed even more out of control. The emperor has a grudge against her!
The Queen Mother was so frightened that she did not think about what happened to Concubine Duan. After so many years, the Queen Mother, the instigator, had forgotten about it, and she could even pretend that nothing happened.
She thought that the Tang family had done something to anger the emperor, and that the Tang family had concealed it from her, which would make it difficult to deal with it.
As people get older, they become confused. If it had been more than ten years ago, the Queen Mother would have discovered something fishy - she had already been "surveilled"!
The Queen Mother thought that being able to receive information about the situation outside the palace meant that her power was still there, but she ignored the fact that Prince Jing came to the palace. She did not hear the news until she came to the Imperial Study Room.
She also didn't realize that the so-called news was only known to her after the emperor deliberately revealed it.
Looking at the Queen Mother's appearance, one could tell that she had not thought about Concubine Duan. The Emperor no longer talked around the Queen Mother. He glanced at the two nuns and two maids who were following the Queen Mother. They were all the Queen Mother's confidants.
"Back then, the Queen Mother was able to bring poisons from outside the palace. The Tang family must have done a lot of work. It was in vain that the mother-in-law thought you were a good person. You turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing."
As soon as these words came out, the blood drained from the faces of the servants beside the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was frightened. When she heard the word Duan Fei, her whole body felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. How could the Emperor know this?
Prince Jing...Princess Jing...is An Jia!
"What is the emperor talking about? Have you misunderstood?"
The Queen Mother is still playing dumb, she cannot admit it and will not admit it.
"The Tang family has confessed. Once the case is reviewed, everyone in the family will be executed."
Why does the emperor want to see the queen mother today? It was not to see if the Queen Mother had a conscience, but to tell her the fate of the Tang family.
"Your Majesty! You,"
The Queen Mother shook off the maid's hand and wanted to come closer to talk, but her legs were weak and she fell to the ground unable to get up.
"After a lifetime of planning, the Tang family will be wiped out without any heirs. And you will go to the Buddhist temple to pray for blessings and reflect on yourself because of the Tang family's affairs. You will die of heartbreak and illness six months later."
This is the ending arranged by the Emperor for the Queen Mother. After all, due to the Queen Mother's identity, what she did cannot be disclosed to the world, so let's just go with it.
The palace servants next to the Queen Mother all collapsed on the ground. They knew that they would not live long. The fact that the Emperor did not hesitate to say this in front of them proved that he did not want them to live.
However, the emperor's revenge was far more than that. It was just one of the painful things for the queen mother. Killing was heartbreaking. The emperor's next words only made the queen mother even more heartbroken.
"Before my concubine passed away, she found the miracle doctor Luo Ning. She once owed her a favor. At that time, she promised her to come to the palace to help with the diagnosis. The concubine asked her to come to the palace just to treat you."
"Later, when my mother and concubine died of illness, the matter was settled."
The Queen Mother is also the one in the harem who secretly hates Concubine Duan, but she can act and seems to be as close to Concubine Duan as sisters.
The deceived Concubine Duan was sincerely interested in the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was in ill health and could not conceive a child. After all, this harem woman's destiny was to have a child by her side, so Concubine Duan found a way to contact Luo Ning, who was traveling around the world.
The miracle doctor Luo Ning is a master of gynecology and has cured many infertile women.
The imperial doctor who treated the Queen Mother also said that he had seen Luo Ning perform acupuncture, and if she were here, she might be able to cure it.
Concubine Duan told the Queen Mother that she knew Luo Ning, but because Luo Ning had no fixed abode and was wandering around, she couldn't contact her for the time being. However, Luo Ning would visit her natal family every Mid-Autumn Festival. She had already left a letter to her natal family, and she would write if there was any news. of.
The Queen Mother didn't take it seriously. She didn't think Concubine Duan would let her get pregnant to give her child more rivals. The Queen Mother only felt that Concubine Duan was hypocritical.
As a result, the emperor now said that Concubine Duan had indeed contacted Luo Ning to see a doctor for her!
If she is pregnant, her son can also compete for the throne! Even if you can't become a prince, you can still be a happy prince! The concubine of Dazhou can follow her son to the fiefdom, and then she can leave the palace to see the outside world...
Before entering the palace, the Queen Mother loved freedom the most. She loved riding horses, hunting, and traveling...
The Queen Mother's eyes were dull. She didn't understand how it had become like this, how could it happen.
"Send the Queen Mother back to the palace."
After the emperor gave an order, Eunuch Lin and his maids helped the Queen Mother back to the palace. Then the gate of Ci'an Palace was closed, and no outsiders were allowed in or out. It was said that the Queen Mother was ill, and the harem was exempted from paying greetings.
People like the Queen Mother have no conscience, and killing her would be too easy for her.
The emperor told the empress dowager about the fate of the Tang family. This was the first point. The second was what she cared about most. The empress dowager had no heirs in her life. If she knew that she could have a child, but ruined it because of a single thought, she would It will be twice as painful!
No one else can awaken the Queen Mother's conscience. She will only feel uncomfortable if her personal interests are harmed.
After saying this, there is no rush to kill the Queen Mother. In the next six months, she will regret it day by day and suffer more and more pain day by day. She deserves it.
This is the case with the current world.
