I Have 100,000 Dead Warriors

So, Zha Zha Long crouched down under the window sill of the west warm room like a thief, and as expected, he heard Yixiu and Qingtong talking.

The aunt and nephew chatted about family matters.

Qingtong occasionally mentioned gossip in the palace, which made Yixiu laugh.

Zha Zha Long heard that what her aunt and nephew were talking about were just daily trivialities, thinking that there was nothing important, and was about to leave.

At this moment, Qingtong's tone suddenly became serious: "Aunt, my niece has something to ask you, I hope you won't be angry."

Zha Zha Long frowned. What kind of big deal could make his mother, the Queen Mother, angry?

Could it be that Qingtong discovered that the Queen Mother was harming people again?

Zha Zha Long immediately pricked up his ears and listened quietly.

Yixiu sat up straight and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

Qingtong looked around and lowered her voice: "Aunt, tell me honestly, was that bowl of mung bean soup that almost poisoned the emperor your work?"

Upon hearing this, Zha Zha Long's face instantly turned pale, veins bulged on his forehead, and his hands clenched into fists.

Mung bean soup!

How could he forget that bowl of mung bean soup?

If the wet nurse hadn't helped him avoid the disaster, he wouldn't have been able to ascend the throne today, and the grass on his grave would have been half a person's height.

The anger in Zha Zha Long's heart surged like the tide, and his eyes seemed to want to devour people.

This vicious woman almost poisoned me to death back then. What qualifications does she have to enter the Cining Palace and become the empress dowager today?

Unexpectedly, Yixiu's eyes widened and she cried out in shock, "What mung bean soup? Why would I want to poison the emperor? Which bitch is so sinister that she dares to throw dirty water on me?"

Qingtong asked again and again: "Aunt, this... this matter... really has nothing to do with you..."

Yixiu tried her best to deny it: "How could it be related to me? It's a huge injustice. Yes, I did harm many people, but the matter of poisoning the emperor with mung bean soup has nothing to do with me."

Qingtong looked unconvinced: "Aunt, it really wasn't you who did it?"

"Of course not. I have no reason to poison the emperor."

Hearing Yixiu's confident words, Zha Zha Long couldn't help but become confused.

Could it be that this bowl of mung bean soup was really not poisoned by my mother, the Empress Dowager?

impossible!

Who else but her would want to poison him?

Qing Tong asked, "Why didn't you have any reason to harm him? You wanted to support the Third Prince to succeed to the throne, and you regarded the Fourth Prince as a thorn in your side. If this bowl of mung bean soup was not your work, who else would be so bold as to murder the prince?"

Yi Xiu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Qingtong, do you know why I supported the Third Prince and forced his biological mother, Concubine Qi, to death?"

Qingtong said: "My aunt values ​​the title of the empress dowager. She is afraid that the third prince will ascend the throne in the future, and Concubine Qi will become the Holy Mother Empress Dowager because of her son, and she will be on an equal footing with you, so she wants to get rid of her in advance."

Yixiu nodded: "That's right, for the sake of this unique title of Queen Mother, I not only forced Concubine Qi to death, but also madly persecuted all the concubines who might give birth to the prince..."

Qingtong gradually understood after hearing this: "Yes, the prince has a biological mother, and in the future there may be a Holy Mother Empress Dowager who will take away half of your honor as the Empress Dowager. However, many people in the palace know that the emperor is not the son of Niuhulu, but Li Jingui, a maid in the Rehe Palace. The emperor's biological mother died many years ago. Even if the late emperor made him the crown prince, he can only support you, his biological mother, as the Empress Dowager in the future. You really have no reason to take action against him."
