Who cares about belated family affection? Family members beg for forgiveness

Lan Kexin's hand paused.

She naturally knew the Queen Mother's intention in asking her to say this.

She hasn't figured out what to do yet!

The voice of Eunuch Tang came to my ears.

"The Emperor has arrived."

This is to deceive the emperor. She is just an ordinary citizen. How could she be so bold as to do that?

"Your Majesty, I am a doctor and it is impossible for me to lie."

The Queen Mother asked, "Do you want to die?"

Lan Kexin's eyes turned cold, and she said solemnly:

"I don't like to lie about other things, let alone about medical skills. I will never lie. This is the medical ethics of a great doctor.

Queen Mother, you should ask other imperial physicians to treat you."

See Lan Kexin's resolute face.

The Queen Mother's voice was filled with danger: "It seems that you are disobedient."

Before the empress dowager finished speaking, the emperor had already walked into the inner room and heard the words "disobedient".

He raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Oh! Queen Mother, who is disobedient again?"

He glanced at Lan Kexin, whose face was as gloomy as water.

He knew who the Queen Mother was talking about, but pretended not to know.

The Queen Mother showed displeasure:

"Your Majesty, you are old, so you should walk more slowly and not rush, lest you fall and cause trouble to others."

The current emperor is in his prime, so how can he be considered old?

The Queen Mother was mocking him for coming too quickly.

Disrupt her plans?

The emperor chuckled and shook his head:

"Empress Dowager, since I came to power, I have always cared for the people, worked for their well-being, and worried about the country and the people. Every year, I even pray for the people.

This is why the Great Xia Dynasty is so prosperous. I have accumulated so much merit, and God will bless me no matter what happens."

The Queen Mother was ventilating. Was this a mockery of her lack of merit?

"The Emperor is so busy with affairs of state, why is he here at Changshou Palace now?"

The Queen Mother is still beating around the bush with him.

The Emperor said frankly:

"Empress Dowager, I came here specifically for Lao Liu's matter. I don't know how Lao Liu offended you to make you make such a fuss and argue with a child."

The corners of the empress dowager's mouth twitched violently. He was already 20 years old, but the emperor actually classified him as a child.

Is this a direct criticism of her for not knowing how to love children?

Why doesn’t the emperor think about the fact that she is still an old lady?

The Queen Mother pretended to cough a few times.

"Ahem! Alas, I am already quite old, and I am afraid I don't have many years left to live. This unfilial son and grandson actually wants to make me angry.

If I don't teach him a lesson, he'll become arrogant and ignorant in the future."

The emperor glanced at her.

He then looked at Lan Kexin who was standing there silently.

"Eunuch Tang, go call Imperial Physician Tang and the other Imperial Physicians from the Imperial Hospital to come and have them take the Empress Dowager's pulse and prescribe the right medicine.

It is imperative that the Queen Mother's health is taken care of, and that she does not develop any underlying illness."

Is the emperor going to completely confront her?

The Queen Mother's face darkened and she glanced at Lan Kexin who remained silent.

"Your Majesty, no need. Miss Lan is here. She can take my pulse. I trust her medical skills."

The emperor shook his head:

"Miss Lan may have some knowledge of headaches, but she is still very old. She may not have seen some diseases before, and she is not as experienced as the old doctors in the palace."

Eunuch Tang ran out quickly.

The Queen Mother glared: "Your Majesty, are you going to go against me?"

"Queen Dowager, I never intended to go against you. I just want to know the truth. What did Lao Liu do that made you want to throw him into the dungeon?"

The Queen Mother: "Can't you see that I'm angry?"

The emperor shook his head decisively:

"I really don't know."

When the emperor said this, he seemed to remember something important.

A faint opening:

"Empress Dowager, I personally examined the two bodies."

The emperor took out a piece of paper, spread it out and handed it to the empress dowager.

When the Queen Mother saw the plum blossom symbol, her pupils shrank.

However, he soon calmed down.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

"Empress Dowager, this plum blossom symbol was drawn from two corpses, exactly the same."

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed. She was angry with the Sixth Prince because of this matter.

She lost so many people at once.

Is it easy to train those secret guards?

It cost her a lot of financial and human resources.

It was just a trip to the jungle, and everything was lost.

She couldn't swallow this breath.

We can only target the Sixth Prince, the main culprit.

The Sixth Prince was not wronged at all, after all, everyone died at his hands.

The Queen Mother never thought that she was sending these people to kill the Sixth Prince.

She just felt that her people should not be killed.

Who killed her? Who is her enemy?

Now that she has become the queen mother, she doesn't want to live a depressed life.

The Queen Mother's lips moved twice.

The Emperor continued:

"I got a little gossip that Lao Liu went to the dense forest to look for tiger bones to help the Queen Mother, and they ambushed him and wanted to kill him.

Queen Mother, I wonder who this plum blossom symbolized secret guard belongs to?"

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and stared at the Emperor.

He waved his hand to signal everyone else to go out.

Only the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were left with their son.

"Your Majesty, are you suspecting that I attacked Old Six?"

The emperor also had a cold look on his face and looked unhappy.

"Empress Dowager, you know whether it is true or not. Do you still want me to send people to find evidence?"

Looking at the Queen Mother pretending to be sick.

There was no trace of sympathy in the emperor's eyes.

"What did Lao Liu do wrong to make you so intolerant of him?"

The Queen Mother retorted sarcastically, "So, the Emperor is here today to confront me and ask for justice?"

The emperor laughed sarcastically, "I dare not. You are the Queen Mother, so high and mighty. How dare I come to you to question you? I am afraid that people all over the world will call me unfilial!"

Hasn't she been using filial piety to keep him under control all these years?

Since there was no one else present, the Queen Mother simply stopped pretending.

Just take the rag off your forehead.

He glared at the emperor with displeasure.

"Since the emperor already knows, why bother coming to Changshou Palace to ask? It would be better to use this time to review memorials in the imperial study."

The emperor's voice was filled with anger.

"So, the Queen Mother is admitting that she deliberately imprisoned Old Six in the dungeon?"

The Queen Mother was not afraid of the Emperor's majesty at all:

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? Are you going to send me away too?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was fearless, the Emperor suddenly laughed softly, and the laughter was extremely cold.

"Queen Mother, you are sure that I can't do anything to you, right?"

After saying this, the emperor nodded.

"Yes, I may not be able to do anything to you, but how can I not be able to deal with the Ye family?"

The empress dowager's originally smug face suddenly froze.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to use the Ye family as a target? How dare you? The Ye family is also your maternal family. If it weren't for them, would you have been able to ascend to this high position?"

The Emperor approached the Queen Mother and whispered:

"Queen Dowager, it depends on whether I dare or not. As for the merits you mentioned back then, ask yourself, how much did the Ye family help me? Don't you have an idea?"

No matter what, you must release Lao Liu now."
