After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

"I've been waiting for you for four years, and you're finally here."

Hearing Mrs. Lu's voice, Shen Yuyao smiled faintly and said softly, "We have to see each other for the last time."

It has been four years since the Jingnan Campaign, and Lu has been guarding the prince's mausoleum for four years.

Shen Yuyao first went to pay homage to Prince Yiwen and the Crown Princess. Before returning to the palace, she went to Lu's room on purpose.

Four years ago, after Xia Yu ascended the throne, he abolished the Xia Chongwen dynasty and also abolished the title of the Lu family.

The palace maid who was guarding the tomb saw the current queen enter Lu's room and busied herself adding some charcoal to the charcoal stove in the room.

The whole house now felt less cold and gloomy.

Mrs. Lu looked in good spirits today. In order to prevent her from being rude, the palace maids who came with Shen Yuyao even came forward to help her wash and dress.

She looked at her face in the diamond-shaped mirror, which was extremely pale due to not seeing the sun for a long time, and turned her head away with some disgust.

Shen Yuyao didn't force her. She waved her hand and asked the palace maids to leave.

The door creaked open, Shen Yuyao looked to the side and saw a boy of about eleven or twelve years old walking in.

For a moment, Shen Yuyao almost thought that it was King Qin who walked in.

The two men looked extremely similar, and the young man was almost a carbon copy of the King of Qin.

"Your Majesty the Empress, and your Mother." The one who came in was Lu's youngest son. He and Lu were sent here by Xia Yu to keep vigil for Crown Prince Yiwen and Crown Princess Yiwen.

"You can leave now." Shen Yuyao still said lightly, "I want to talk to your mother."

The young man nodded timidly and walked out of the room timidly.

"Go away." Seeing the young man coming in, Lu's eyes, which were originally bright, suddenly dimmed.

"not busy."

It was snowing outside, but Shen Yuyao felt that it was even colder in the room than outside. She could not help but pull her cloak closer. Seeing this, Zi Su beside her hurriedly called for the palace maid to add another pot of charcoal fire.

Seeing that she couldn't drive Shen Yuyao away, Mrs. Lu could only turn around and sit down on the bed helplessly.

"It's cold here, and there are no better soft chairs. I'm afraid it will be unfair to Her Majesty the Queen." In her heart, she still wanted Shen Yuyao to leave as soon as possible.

"No grievance."

Perhaps, the ultimate winner always likes to see the embarrassment of the loser, which will make him feel more comfortable.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and said no more. Her eyes fell on Shen Yuyao's face.

Shen Yuyao, who is honored as the Queen, already has gray hair on her temples.

"Tell me about it." Shen Yuyao saw the doubt that flashed across Lu's eyes, "You have to tell me, right?"

"What?" Mrs. Lu was a little impatient.

The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.

"Tell me about Sister Chang." Shen Yuyao's face suddenly became serious, "She treated you so well, but you..."

"Time flies by so fast." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu's expression suddenly changed, and there was even a hint of smile in her eyes, "It has been exactly twenty-two years."

"Very quickly." Shen Yuyao asked, "Have you ever felt any regret in these twenty-two years?"

"Hahaha," Lu suddenly laughed wildly, "Yes! Of course I regret it!"

"I regret not having sentenced Xia Yu to death when he was pretending to be crazy and stupid!"

"you dare!"

"Why shouldn't I dare? The Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, my mother, my father, and none of them hasn't drunk the soup I cooked?" Mrs. Lu narrowed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again suddenly, a fierce look was revealed.

"So the bowl of chicken soup that my father drank before he died was really made by you?" Shen Yuyao's voice trembled slightly.

I had thought about Lu's arrogance, but I didn't expect her to be so reckless.

"Of course, didn't he secretly find three vicious women to poison the King of Qin?" Lu said disdainfully, "He just used his own methods."

Shen Yuyao's face became colder. She looked at Lu and asked again, "I'll ask you one last question!"

"Ask," Lu said indifferently, "Anyway, we'll never see each other again after we say goodbye today."

"Xu Yunxuan, do you still remember?"

"I remember, of course I remember?" Mrs. Lu smiled in a somewhat creepy way, "Isn't she the concubine Xu from Prince Ning's mansion? Oh, yes, the eldest daughter of Xu Wansan."

"Is she really Xu Wansan's eldest daughter?" Shen Yuyao stared at Lu.

Lu nodded and then shook her head.

"Since you already know the truth, why bother asking again?" Lu frowned slightly, "It's a pity that in the end I didn't let you kill each other, it can be regarded as God's will!"

"Since I already know the truth about her life experience, this time I'm definitely not asking about this," Shen Yuyao said.

"Then what do you want to ask?" Mrs. Lu smiled coldly, "If you want to know how Mrs. Xu died, I can only say that this matter has nothing to do with me."

After a brief pause, Lu continued, "But even if I say it has nothing to do with me, I guess you won't believe it. It's up to you. Maybe you can ask your East Factory to try to investigate."

Shen Yuyao snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, but King Huai En and the guy just now may not live so happily!"

"You dare!" Lu screamed.

"Why shouldn't I?" Shen Yuyao asked with a smile, "Maybe you and I can still make one last deal."

"How do you trade?" Lu asked timidly, shaking her body.

Before Shen Yuyao could answer, she stood up shakily, then knelt down towards Shen Yuyao.

"Please, Queen, please let my two sons go!"

Shen Yuyao threatened her with her only two remaining biological sons. She really didn't dare to gamble, and couldn't gamble!

"Since you said that Xu Yunxuan's death had nothing to do with you, then guess who it might be related to?" Shen Yuyao knew how powerful the Lu's Western Factory was. Before she returned to Kyoto, the most powerful news agency in Kyoto was the Western Factory, except for the Eastern Factory.

Mrs. Lu must know something, otherwise she wouldn't have acted like she was looking forward to a good show.

"Your Highness, please go back to the palace and ask His Majesty." After saying this, Lu bowed her head to the ground and begged, "Since I risked my life to provide you with clues, I hope you will promise to save my child's life!"

Xia Yu?

Shen Yuyao's heart skipped a beat. Could this matter be related to Xia Yu?

Ever since Xia Xiaoxian left without saying goodbye three years ago, Shen Yuyao has locked herself in the deep palace. She never asks about state affairs, nor does she care about the affairs of the harem.

She didn't even care about such important matter as the fact that Xia Yu had not had any new offspring.

A day ago, she had just learned from a letter from the East Factory that Xu Yunxuan, whom she had been looking for, had died mysteriously the day before she returned to Kyoto.

The reason why Shen Yuyao came to pay tribute to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess today was that she wanted to thoroughly investigate Xu Yunxuan's death.

At this moment, Shen Yuyao suddenly felt as if someone had covered her eyes.

She could no longer see anyone clearly, even the person beside her, Xia Yu!
