Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered
Chapter 40 World 1: The Domineering Emperor’s Pet (38)
After coming out of Fengyi Palace, Zhou Jin was silent all the way.
Seeing his gloomy face, Li Mu did not dare to go and cause trouble, but he was not sure which direction the dragon chariot was going, so he still asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to go--"
"Go to Taiji Hall." Zhou Jin sat on the dragon chariot, closed his eyes and rested, but his mind kept recalling what the queen said.
The red sandalwood and white jade Buddhist beads in Zhou Jin's hand kept turning, just like his mental activities at the moment, anxious and irritable.
"The Empress Dowager was a remnant of the Southern Frontier of the previous dynasty. She hid her real name and identity, but unexpectedly, she took a fancy to the late emperor during his incognito visit and gave him a soul-stealing Gu. This Gu was extremely dangerous and the late emperor's mind was controlled for a time."
He still remembered those days when his father loved all the princes very much. Even though his mother was not favored, he could still be taken care of by his father. No one in the palace dared to look down on them, so life was relatively easy.
But for some reason, he brought a woman from outside the palace and became crazy about her, killing several concubines and princes in a row. . .
That woman was the current Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother was favored for a while, it did not last long. The late Emperor became more and more tyrannical and began to become licentious and immoral, favoring younger and more beautiful concubines.
"The late emperor has been poisoned for many years. For some reason, he is becoming increasingly out of control. The empress dowager is also puzzled."
"Later, after you ascended the throne, the Queen Mother was not satisfied with being trapped in the palace as a powerless woman, and she wanted to control your harem. However, she encountered a noble family who wanted to kill the prince, so she did not dare to take action, fearing that you would find out."
"Until Concubine Yi takes revenge—"
The Queen did not elaborate, but Zhou Jin knew everything that happened afterwards.
Imperial Concubine Yi obtained a poison and killed several concubines and princes in a row, but she still refused to stop and became more and more crazy.
"What about you? Concubine Yi wanted revenge, what's your reason?"
Zhou Jin could never see through his extremely intelligent queen. He didn't know what she wanted, nor did he know what she was dissatisfied with.
"I am here for the imperial power. The Queen Mother promised me that if I succeed in launching a coup, I will be second only to one man and above ten thousand people."
How could Zhou Jin not know that his queen was so naive?
"I was blinded by the imperial power. I could not see the crisis ahead. I only knew that if I succeeded, I would rule the world."
The queen smiled sadly. Her eyes had seen too much filth and had been blinded by power and desire.
"But - I discovered that the Royal Guards know everything in the world."
"I heard that Concubine Yi died just like that."
"I am just glad that I haven't informed my family yet, otherwise it would be exposed sooner or later!"
The queen guessed correctly. He sent many secret guards to various mansions, and they had to be replaced in rotation to ensure that these secret guards would not rebel.
If the Queen contacted her mother's family today, the entire General's Mansion would be executed.
"Did you poison me?"
"It is you, the Queen Mother, who asked me to raise the Gu in my body. I just recently activated the poison."
"I know that I have committed a grave sin, and I beg Your Majesty to grant me death. However, I have not contacted my family, and they are innocent."
The queen knocked her head heavily on the ground, and her hairpins were messed up.
"Queen, I promise you that if they have no intention of rebelling, I will spare their lives."
"You will be imprisoned in Fengyi Palace and you are not allowed to take a single step out of it in your lifetime."
This palace eventually became the shackles that trapped her for life.
She recalled that when she was a child, her father asked her what she wanted, and she said: "I want to see a wider world."
Unfortunately, the little girl could never get out again.
