The tense heartstring in the Queen Mother's heart suddenly broke at this moment.
She expected that Luo Huaizhou would be sad after learning the truth, but she didn't expect that Luo Huaizhou would roar at her without any scruples, and question his weight in her heart. Didn't she do all this just for him? What? But in the end, not only did he not understand his good intentions, but he also helped outsiders to confront him tit for tat and repeatedly disobeyed him!
Luo Huaizhou's repeated questions were like a heavy hammer hitting the Queen Mother's heart, shattering the compassion in the Queen Mother's heart and shattering her reason. The anger that had been accumulated in her chest finally broke out at this moment.
With a "bang" sound, the Queen Mother slapped the table angrily and stood up, her face turned pale, and her eyes seemed to be burning with rolling flames, wanting to burn a hole in every corner of the hall.
Her resentful and sharp eyes circled between Emperor Dehui and Luo Huaizhou, then landed on Luo Huaizhou, and said with a stern voice: "Aren't the Ai family doing this all for your own good? Where did that girl come from? I don't know, and I have a foxy look on my face. I can't guarantee that I'm not here because of your status as a prince. What's wrong with the Ai family being more cautious? Besides, she's just a commoner. It's a great favor from the emperor for her to enter the palace and be favored. What can she feel wronged about?"
The Queen Mother's cold and ruthless words were like a heart-breaking sharp blade, dismembering Luo Huaizhou's love and respect for the Queen Mother. He didn't expect that until this moment, the queen mother was still stubborn. Not only did she not feel any regret, she even kept saying that it was for her own good.
Suddenly, all kinds of unbearable emotions rushed towards Luo Huaizhou like a tide, impacting his conscience and beliefs, making him almost breathless. He could not understand the various behaviors of the Queen Mother, nor could he accept the truth before him. His heart was filled with helplessness and despair, as well as a feeling of pain that was difficult to resolve.
Tears gradually moistened his eyes, and the heart-gnawing pain slowly spread from the initial soreness, through sourness, stinging, sorrow, and then to mourning, and unknowingly invaded his internal organs, tearing his heart and lungs. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, wanting to say something, but all the grief and despair rushed into his throat, making him choked and unable to speak.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was forced to reluctantly admit her actions, but her words were still harsh, Emperor Dehui couldn't help but a touch of sarcasm passed over his lips, and then he said with a half-smile: "What does the Queen Mother think of my harem?" ?Although I love beauties, not just anyone can enter the harem. Since you think her origin is unknown, why do you want to force her into my harem?"
He took a deep look at the Queen Mother, with a hint of sinister coldness in his eyes, and suddenly sneered: "I'm afraid that's not all the Queen Mother meant. You have been looking for beauties for me these years. I really think I don't know that you are marrying me." What’s your idea?”
The Queen Mother was stunned by Emperor Dehui's profound gaze. The suspicion and worry hidden deep in her heart were like an invisible big hand tightly grasping her heart.
Before she could recover, she heard Emperor Dehui continue to say: "You are doing this just to let them compete with Hua Qiong for favor, so that you can take advantage of the opportunity to suppress the Hua family and stabilize the back position in the middle palace. I have always turned a blind eye and acted as a filial piety, but now you actually want to involve Huaizhou’s friends..."
At this point, Emperor Dehui let out a soft sigh that seemed helpless. Suddenly, a sinister look appeared in his eyebrows, and the corners of his slightly narrowed eyes seemed to contain a violent aura. Even his words could not help but be tinged with anger. : "Do you want to use Hua Qiong's hand to deal with her, or do you want to kill her first and then blame Hua Qiong? Or, did you plan to kill two birds with one stone from the beginning? Aren't you afraid of doing this? Will Huaizhou be involved in this whirlpool of power struggles?"
After hearing what Emperor Dehui said, the Queen Mother's originally pale face suddenly turned red.
"You...you..." She pointed tremblingly at Emperor Dehui, her eyes full of shock and anger, her lips kept murmuring, but she couldn't say a word.
The Queen Mother never expected that Emperor Dehui, who had always been dim-witted and incompetent and only greedy for pleasure, would see through her intentions so quickly. She was both surprised and a little afraid, and even more It's the anger that comes from being exposed.
Luo Huaizhou looked at the Queen Mother steadily, as if trying to find a glimmer of hope in her, a ray of warmth belonging to their mother and son, but all he saw was an angry face.
He felt that his heart was falling like a heavy stone, straight into the hopeless abyss, and the whole world was collapsing bit by bit, as if something was quietly growing from the bottom of his heart, followed by a bone-chilling chill.
He once believed that she was not only his mother, but also his guide on the road of life. He respects her, trusts her, and even relies on her a little.
But now, he found that his feelings for his mother had become complicated and contradictory. He was angry and disappointed with his mother's behavior, and felt chilled and disturbed by her paranoia and cruelty.
He still remembers that when he was young, he was very dependent on and respected his mother. He remembered every word she said and every admonishment she gave him. Later, as he grew older, he became increasingly unable to understand what his mother did. She was extreme, cruel, and would do anything to achieve her goals. He gradually found that his mother seemed to be becoming more and more unfamiliar. He did not dare to talk to her about many things anymore, for fear that she would think too much and that she would do something extreme.
But at that time, he still firmly believed that everything his mother did was because she cared too much about herself and the dynasty. Even if he couldn't understand it, even if he was a little disappointed, he could never really dislike her.
But it wasn't until this moment that he discovered that those seeds of disgust had already been buried deep in his heart, and they would only take root and sprout if triggered by an opportunity.
The accumulation of past emotions and countless chaotic memories all surged out from the depths of Luo Huaizhou's heart, and clear but fuzzy pictures emerged in his mind.
He didn't understand why his mother always asked others to act according to her thoughts and wishes, not only for the emperor's brother, but also for herself. It seemed that she only felt at ease when everyone was firmly in her hands. But after all, they are people, not objects, and they are not her puppets. They also have their own feelings and pursuits, and they should have their own lives, instead of living according to her wishes and becoming her vassals.
Luo Huaizhou suddenly felt an indescribable sadness in his heart, like a flower that was about to wither, with a sense of loneliness, quietly falling and turning into dust and mud, with only a faint fragrance still lingering in the air. .
His Adam's apple moved with difficulty, as if he was trying his best to swallow all the unbearable emotions. After a moment, he opened his lips and teeth slightly and found his voice.
"In the eyes of the queen mother, only what you give is the so-called good. The contribution of others and the approach of others are all calculated. No matter who your son makes friends with, you will always look at and judge them with purpose. Motives, but often turn a blind eye to the true feelings. Have you ever considered my feelings, and what you have given me is not a yoke imposed on my body. "
