As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

Ning Rushong is the most authoritarian and intelligent person in the world. To him, secular laws and human ethics are as thin as paper. In order to achieve his goals, he always uses extremely inhumane means.

Therefore, most of the dead or living things in the world are as easy to take as taking something out of a bag for him.

The side door of the Ministry of Punishment has been open recently, and the howling and crying coming from inside is terrifying.

A confession stained with blood was handed to the imperial desk.

Ning Rushong tapped the table with his fingers, making two clicking sounds, and a surge of joy filled his drooping eyes.

"Finally." He whispered, his voice hoarse.

The secret that was covered up layer by layer was finally revealed by Ning Rushong after a year.

All that's left is to follow the clues. Ning Rushong stroked the confession splashed with a few drops of blood with his fingers. This moment was the happiest moment of the year for him!

The last time Yueyue and Empress Dowager He met was in Kunning Palace. No palace servants were present and no one knew what they talked about.

But since then, Yueyue fell ill and never recovered. It is almost certain that the bracelet appeared after that.

"Please bring my mother to me." Ning Rushong gave the order. His words were gentle and soft, but they made Xiao Guanzi, who knew him well, panic-stricken.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Xiao Guanzi accepted the order.

In less than an hour, Empress Dowager He was "invited" to Yongding Palace by Xiao Guanzi.

It's funny to say that this pair of close mother and son haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and they have never missed each other in their hearts.

Empress Dowager He looked no different from a year ago, except that the vicissitudes and paranoia in her eyes had become more severe. She had been locked up in the Nan Wang's own courtyard for more than two months, and the Emperor had never paid any attention to her. Now it was already late at night, but he half-forced her to come here. How could there be any good in this?

She calmly sat on the chair brought by the palace servants, and asked in a calm voice, "Why does the emperor want to see me?"

"It's an important matter." Ning Rushong walked around the imperial desk with the confession in his hand and came before Empress Dowager He. His clear and elegant face took on a gentleness that was almost eerie.

He bent down and gently placed the confession in his biological mother's hands, "Mother, please take a look and give me a reasonable explanation."

Empress Dowager He lowered her eyes and read every word carefully. She recalled that she did not meet He Yue in Kunning Palace. It was Emperor Jingmu who met He Yue. Emperor Jingmu took the initiative to ask her for help.

She knew there must be some unknown secret, but she still agreed. Later, He Yue was diagnosed with a congenital disease.

Empress Dowager He had been fighting in the palace for many years, and she had disciplined a group of dishonest concubines so that they dared not make any moves. She was very scheming. She almost immediately connected the two together, but she kept it a secret for Emperor Jingmu.

She looked up and saw Ning Rushong looking at her, with a cold and urgent look in his slender eyes, just like his father's.

He has a cold temper and blood ties cannot restrain him. If he knew it was Emperor Jingmu, he would definitely not show any mercy. Moreover, Emperor Jingmu is now completely crazy, so how can he save his life under his hands?

"I did meet with the Queen in Kunning Palace and said some words that I hoped she would continue the royal bloodline and magnanimously accept a concubine. My words were a bit harsh. After all, she was the Crown Princess at that time. In order to save her face, I did not allow any palace maids to enter." Empress Dowager He once again chose Emperor Jingmu between the two and told a lie.

Empress Dowager He was always fearless. She had received so much love from her family, but she was obsessed with the unattainable love between men and women, and gave up her only legitimate son time and time again.

Empress Dowager He could not bear to see Emperor Jingmu suffer, but she was the one who brought him the greatest pain. She was trapped in the whirlpool of love and could not survive, but she could only watch her legitimate son follow in her footsteps in agony and refused to even offer a helping hand.

This woman, who appears elegant and graceful on the outside, is actually mean and selfish on the inside. She puts almost all her attention on Emperor Jingmu, investing both love and hate in him.

"As for the jade bracelet, I didn't know about it, and I won't admit it." Empress Dowager He said frankly.

She even asked, "Does Your Majesty suspect that the Queen's death is related to me? Or do you suspect that the Queen is not dead and I am the one who is interfering?"

"Ha!" Ning Rusong sneered, and calmly took the confession back from Empress Dowager He, turned around and handed it to Xiao Guanzi, "Keep it carefully."

Xiao Guanzi bent down and took the confession with both hands, as if it was not a thin piece of paper.

Ning Rusong looked at Empress Dowager He coldly, hiding all his expressions. Qingyong's face was actually somewhat indifferent and out of touch with human nature. He said in a lonely voice, "You and I are connected by blood. You relied on me to secure your position as the Empress Dowager, and now you rely on me to secure your position as the Empress Dowager."

He walked a few steps to the weapons rack, holding the hilt of the sword, which was still unsheathed, and placed it on Empress Dowager He's neck. He gently pushed it hard, and the scabbard hit her face lightly. He said lightly, "You are a traitor, and now you are still lying for others."

This behavior is totally impolite and humiliating. The son is disrespectful to his mother and fails to observe filial piety.

For the first time, Ning Rushong tore off the false veil between mother and son with her own hands. King Nan no longer protected her, and her grandparents had passed away long ago. She should understand her current situation, but she was still so ungrateful.

He thought that Empress Dowager He would not be surprised to see the confession. He lied so calmly, and she must have known something about it before. But she just watched him being tortured by grief for a whole year!

"If Yueyue is really dead, then the late emperor must be dead as well!" Ning Rushong always knew how to hit the snake at its weakest part.

At this moment, he was filled with a growing anger.

Empress Dowager He seemed to be dazed, her head still tilted as she was hit by the scabbard, disbelief in her eyes.
