After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

"Mother Jin said that if we don't eat, it means the Queen's scheme has been discovered and we will all die. The Queen will find a chance to kill you. If I eat, it will prove your stupidity and filial piety. The Queen will not bother you again. You can also find another foster mother. Even if you are not favored, you will not be bullied by the eunuchs anymore..."

"Mother Concubine Jin is such a smart person. I am today entirely thanks to her, but I cannot repay her for raising me and saving my life. Instead, I have to worship a vicious woman like my mother every day!"

Emperor Jianxi sneered and gnashed his teeth.

The Queen Mother was speechless. She just stared coldly at Emperor Jianxi. There was provocation and fearlessness in her eyes, as if to say that she had misjudged his wolfish ambitions and that she could kill him if she wanted!

"Mother, do you think I will kill you?"

Emperor Jianxi seemed to have heard something ridiculous. "How could I do as you wish? I know what you value most, my mother. If you value the Prince of Yan, I will ask my father to depose him. If you want him to be innocent, I will let him commit treason and confiscate his property. If you want him to die cleanly, I will cut him into a human pig, making him unable to live or die!"

The dragon robe of Emperor Jianxi was grabbed, and the next second, it was ruthlessly thrown away by Emperor Jianxi.

Emperor Jianxi stood up and put his hands behind his back, a huge shadow covering the phoenix bed.

"I know you want me to kill you, to ruin your reputation, and to leave behind the infamy of matricide that will be passed down through the ages. You know, the throne can last for only one lifetime, but the infamy in history will last for generations. Mother, you are truly cruel!"

"But your wish will not come true. I will not only seek justice for my childhood and revenge for my mother, but also let my descendants know my filial piety for generations to come. I have waited too long for this day. I know that my mother is very eloquent, but I am afraid she will not be able to do so in the future. I will let you watch with your own eyes how I tortured my brothers and killed my biological mother, but I will leave a good name for you forever. You will be speechless and unable to defend yourself until you die!"

Thinking of this, Emperor Jianxi felt more and more happy. A man who killed his mother and brother enjoys the reputation of filial piety for all eternity. Hahahaha, so happy!

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Jianxi in fear.

Then, she looked to Nanny Sun for help, "Ah...ah..."

Unexpectedly, Nanny Sun remained indifferent.

The Queen Mother suddenly realized something. All the life on her old face instantly faded away, and she became gray and decayed. But just like what Emperor Jianxi said, she couldn't live or die...

He was so humble and destitute that he couldn't even decide his own life or death.

Emperor Jianxi came to his senses and said, "Let's do it!"

"The slaves obey the order."

After saying that, Nanny Sun raised her hand and tore off a piece of skin on her cheek, revealing her original face. That face was exactly the same as the empress dowager's, only a little younger...

The Queen Mother's eyes were bloodshot.

Emperor Jianxi kindly answered her questions, "Mother, do you still remember the legend of your family, the two-headed monk named Dou?"

"Your Dou family has a family history, and so does the Zhao family. When the two-headed monk was beheaded and split, our ancestors were worried about Dou Yang's power, so they left a piece of uninhabited land to Dou Yin's descendants, and no one knew about it. I only learned about it thanks to the well-read father-in-law of the Wei family. It's quite interesting to say that your Dou family has faces that grow up like mirrors, which is a blessing for me..."

"Madame Sun has been with our mother for many years, so she has learned everything she says and does. It is most appropriate to use her to replace you."

At this point, the Queen Mother understood everything.

The fear, hatred, surprise, and provocation in the Queen Mother's eyes... were ultimately buried by deep fear.

Forty years... Forty years ago, he had planned to take advantage of her!

What a terrible mind and scheming!

Hiding for forty years without making a sound!

The Queen Mother felt a chill on the back of her spine, and then the chill spread to her thighs. She was so scared that she peed her pants.

When Nanny Sun lifted the quilt, she frowned in disgust.

Emperor Jianxi sneered when he saw this.

"I wanted to wait until my brother Prince Shou was older before doing this, but Xiaomin is coming back. Mother, you know that Xiaomin is still alive," Emperor Jianxi's voice became gentler. "Mother, it's not as you wish. I hope that my husband and I will love each other and have no regrets until the end..."

The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier.

The guards at the door felt even colder when they saw that the imperial guards brought by Emperor Jianxi were all wearing straw raincoats, and they couldn't help but resent the captain of the guards.

Suddenly, Butler Wu came out of the room and called a few imperial guards over. After a short while, the imperial guards carried out something covered with a white cloth. The drizzle wet the white cloth, revealing a figure.

Wu Yonggui held up an umbrella and called out to the imperial guards, "Hurry up!"

When they reached the door, the chief guard asked, "Manager Wu, what happened?"

Wu Yonggui sneered, "An old woman who doesn't know how to live or die, I don't know whose power she relied on, she dared to offend His Majesty, and was sentenced to death by His Majesty!"

Wu Yonggui's smile seemed to be referring to someone.

The captain of the guards felt a chill all over his body, thinking that maybe His Majesty was just angry with him and couldn't help but vent it on someone?

The guards nearby glanced timidly at the captain of the guard.

The captain of the guards did not dare to stop Wu Yonggui, and Wu Yonggui left with his men in a swagger.

A group of guards stood guard at the door, terrified.

Soon, the captain of the guards seemed to have thought of something and chased after him.

Hall of Light.

A thunder.

The little guy raised his two little fists and shrank back when he heard the sound. Zhao Ying reached out and patted him, and the little guy's frown relaxed.

Zhao Ying got out of bed, put on her clothes, took an umbrella, and went out alone.

Her father must go to the Cining Palace to serve tonight. The weather is cold and the roads are slippery. Her father is also old. It would be better if she could go to the Cining Palace to take a look and replace him.

In fact, Zhao Ying felt more unwilling in her heart, because the Queen Mother was the former Queen, so even if she had done so many evil things to her father and humiliated her father, she could get away with it. But if her father treated her badly, he would be scolded!

Why? !

Zhao Ying thought about it and quickened his pace. Suddenly, a few people appeared in front of him. Zhao Ying saw clearly that it was Wu Yonggui.

Behind Wu Yonggui, there was a shadow that flashed by. Maybe it was because it was dark and she was seeing things?

"Your Highness, may you be safe..."

Zhao Ying was curious, "Where's the emperor?"

"Your Majesty is in the Cining Palace tending to the sick!"

Zhao Ying said "oh" and then looked at the person the guards were carrying. She was familiar with this scene, so she asked directly, "Who?"

"Madame Sun from the Queen Mother's Palace has offended Your Majesty."

As if possessed by some mysterious force, Zhao Ying lifted the white cloth, and the next second, she gently closed it with no expression on her face.

Wu Yonggui swallowed his saliva and said in a sharp voice, "Oh, Your Highness, why are you still the same as before, wanting to see everything? What's so good about a dead slave!"

Zhao Ying's heart was pounding. Upon hearing this, she immediately waved her hands to pretend to be calm, "I just want to see this old slave die, to vent my anger. Alright, carry him away! Carry him away!"

"Whoo!"

Wu Yonggui and the guards left.

Zhao Ying continued walking towards the Cining Palace.

The captain of the guards who was following him turned around when he saw this.

Then he felt annoyed, wondering how could he have such a ridiculous idea?

Zhao Ying entered the Cining Palace and saw Emperor Jianxi sitting on a small couch beside the bed, drowsy.

The Queen Mother was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Zhao Ying walked over gently, "Father, let's go back to the Yangxin Palace!"

Soon, the father and daughter walked slowly in the rain. Emperor Jianxi had his hands behind his back. Suddenly, Zhao Ying took his arm and called softly, "Father..."

"What's wrong?" Emperor Jianxi's voice was lost in the rain, sounding a little hazy.

Zhao Ying shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, I just think it's great to be my father's daughter..."

Emperor Jianxi paused for a while and then smiled softly.
