Cui Yi's hands began to tremble. In fact, what Zhao Baozhu said was what she wanted, and it was also her lifelong pursuit. But killing her mother...? No, no, absolutely not!

She didn't dare to look at Cui's mother, and shook her head desperately, tears dripping down her face.

Cui's mother was furious and shouted, "Zhao Baozhu! How dare you sow discord between us mother and daughter? Do you have any humanity left?"

"Haha, the guy who drugged his daughter-in-law on their wedding day is worthy of talking to me about human nature? Pah!"

"You! Haha, don't worry, our mother-daughter relationship is so deep that it can't be broken up by a few harsh words from you!"

"Really? Then I'd like to see it, Cui Yi. It's up to you."

Cui Yi didn't dare to look at the two of them. He just lowered his head and muttered, "No, no, I can't kill my mother, I can't kill my mother..."

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. When Cui's mother saw Cui Yi like this, she thought something was wrong. She was moved.

Cui's mother felt a sharp pain in her heart and her eyes turned red. She was heartbroken that her daughter was actually wavering, and she felt sorry for her daughter having to suffer such torture.

She sighed and thought, "Never mind, never mind. It is said that children are debts from previous lives, and they have come to collect the debt in this life. My son is already dead, and I cannot let my daughter be useless as well. I cannot let her bear the reputation of a matricide."

In that case, I will help my daughter on her final journey and let her fulfill her wish!

Cui's mother threw herself to the ground, grabbed the dagger, and yelled, "Zhao Baozhu, you must keep your word!"

"nature!"

"Okay, okay! Don't embarrass my daughter. I'll do it myself!"

Cui's mother was also a ruthless person. She pointed the dagger at her neck and pulled it hard. A big bloody wound appeared and blood gushed out.

Cui Yi panicked and hugged her and cried, "Mom, Mom, please don't do this."

Mother Cui softened in her arms, stroked her hair, and said lovingly, "Yier, I'm going to find your brother. From now on, you're the only one left in this world. You must live well. I can no longer protect you."

"No, mother, don't die, wuwuwuwu..."

Cui's mother looked at Zhao Baozhu fiercely again, "Zhao Baozhu, you must keep your word!"

Zhao Baozhu sneered, "You committed suicide, not Cui Yi killed you, so you don't meet my conditions. Therefore, I won't give her anything."

"you you you......!"

With a "pu" sound, Cui's mother spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground and died. Her big eyes stared at Zhao Baozhu, and she died with her eyes open.

Cui Yi was filled with resentment. Her mother was clearly dead, so why did the princess still not agree to her request?! Wouldn't her mother's death have been in vain?

But she was cowardly at heart. Even though her mother's body was lying beside her, she still didn't dare to resist Zhao Baozhu. She just lowered her head and gritted her teeth.

Zhao Baozhu chuckled, "Since your mother is so sincere to you, I will agree to your request. However, I have a condition..."

Cui Yi was overjoyed, "Princess, please tell me clearly."

"From now on, you must follow my lead and do whatever I tell you to do. Do you understand?"

"I understand. I agree. I agree to everything!"

Zhao Baozhu laughed again, and Cui Yi was at a loss. He laughed awkwardly a few times. Wang Ma and others were a little frightened. Zhao Baozhu today was different from before, and a little unpredictable.

After laughing enough, Zhao Baozhu said, "Alright, I'm tired. You guys should clean up here. It's time to get the funeral started."

She turned and left, and Nanny Wang and others became busy. Four people died at once, so they had to find the government.

People from Jingzhao Prefecture arrived and quickly came to the conclusion that out of resentment, Cui's mother first killed Cui Yumao, her concubine and her illegitimate son, and then committed suicide, and no one else was involved.

The Cui family's white flag was hung up again. In less than half a month, four more people died. This was too horrifying. The Cui family was an ominous place, and the people in the Cui family were all ominous people.

Many families living around the Cui family moved away one after another, which was exactly what Zhao Baozhu wanted. The Cui family's place was small and she was not comfortable living there, so she simply bought all the houses, chiseled open the walls, and widened it into a huge courtyard. She used two courtyards to store her dowry, one courtyard for her to live in, and one courtyard for Cui Yi to live in. She also separated the front courtyard and began to recruit guests.

Zhao Baozhu developed a few habits. One of them was that she liked to dress herself up. No matter when, as long as she was awake, she would dress herself up beautifully and would not allow herself to be decadent.

One is that she likes reading. She didn't like reading before, always thinking that the paper was full of red tape and rusty history, which was not worth reading. But now she especially likes reading history books. She even found a few guests who could tell history stories and told them to her in detail, which she listened to with great interest.

Another thing is that she likes to be in deep thought. The lively luster in her eyes has disappeared, and they are more and more deep like a bottomless pool.

All of this stemmed from the fact that Zhao Baozhu suddenly realized one thing: as long as she had enough power and enough chips, she could control anyone's fate.

Just like she could lure Cui Yi into killing her mother by offering her a husband's family and some property. These things were not worth mentioning in her eyes, but they could provoke a rift between the mother and daughter.

Cui's mother drugged her, and she wanted to take revenge on Cui's mother. Simply killing her would be too easy for her. She only needed to offer some conditions to make Cui's mother commit suicide willingly.

Zhao Baozhu was very satisfied and proud of this way of revenge, killing someone and destroying their heart.

She suddenly realized the joy of her father having the power of life and death. No wonder so many people wanted to be emperor. The feeling of being the master of God was too great.

Just like her father was hanging her with the title of Princess Rongchang, she was like a blindfolded donkey, chasing after the title and suffering a lot.

But this title means nothing to her father, not even as much as his favorite cup, but it can decide her fate.

Why should she be treated like this? Zhao Baozhu thought, for such a crappy title, she had blindly married Cui Hao, her body ruined and she could never get pregnant again. She could only guard her few possessions and stay in Cui's house, waiting to die.

Why? Why should others control her life and decide her future, but she can't control her own future, or even control the lives of others?

In the dark night unknown to anyone, Zhao Baozhu couldn't sleep all night long. Looking at the dark shadow of the palace in the distance, endless desire rose in her heart.

She also wanted to be the emperor. She also wanted to have the power of life and death and control the future of all people in the world.

No, perhaps she just wanted to control her father's future, let him also taste the feeling of being abandoned, despised, and humiliated, to see if her good father was still the upright and hypocritical one.

Zhao Baozhu laughed. She had no man and would not have children. Everyone thought she had no future, but what was a man and what was a child? She wanted to find a future for herself now.

Before achieving her goal, what she needs to do is to accumulate strength. Calmness is just the surface, and still waters run deep is her nature.

From that day on, Zhao Baozhu completely fell into dormancy and seemed like a different person.
