In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

"What? What are you talking about?"

Xu Qingyin was shocked when she heard what Lu Yan and her mother said. Could it be that this Ruyi Powder could activate the poisonous insect?

She herself knew that the Imperial Concubine had indeed put a poison in the pastries, but she still found it unbelievable that her mother was actually involved in the Empress Dowager's death.

In fact, Lu Yan had indeed thought of this, because originally this medicine would definitely kill within ten years, but the empress dowager's tonics had been delivered to her palace like water, so her health should be very good anyway.

What's more, the Empress Dowager was so keen on health preservation and loved her body very much. She had always been very healthy, so it was impossible for her to die suddenly within three years. She died directly after taking Ruyi Powder, so Xu Luohan must have known that there was something wrong with Ruyi Powder.

Lu Yan and Xu Qingyin both sat next to Xu Luohan. Xu Luohan looked at His Royal Highness Prince Jing, whom she had watched grow up since childhood. Now he was able to stand on his own feet. Her daughter was also smart and clever, and in many cases even His Royal Highness Prince Jing could not compare to her. She felt relieved.

"Mum, if you have anything to tell us, you can just say that I've already taken care of this dungeon. No one will hear it."

"Okay, that's fine. Since you two are grown up now, the Queen and I should be relieved. There are some things you will have to face sooner or later anyway, so you might as well face them now."

After saying this, Xu Luohan began to slowly tell the story. All of this was something they had never heard of before, and it was all supported by Xu Luohan alone.

"Perhaps you're wondering why I took action when I knew the Imperial Concubine would eventually kill the Empress Dowager. It was a superfluous act, and I've been blamed for nothing."

She said that this was indeed their doubt. After all, if Ruyi Powder was given to others, even if there was no poisonous substance in it, at most the nine generations of the family would be executed. But now she was the only one who died.

After all, the one being murdered was the Empress Dowager. Even if he was an unintentional assassin, he would not be able to save his own life.

But Xu Luohan would rather die herself than kill the Queen Mother. This was really hard for them to believe and understand.

"But you don't know that the Queen Mother and I do have a feud. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have to endure the pain of separation from my daughter, let alone all this sorrow. You could say that much of my destiny was changed by her."

Hearing this, Xu Qingyin was even more shocked:

"Mother, what are you talking about? The Queen Mother is just an ordinary woman. Even though she has great power, how can she change your fate?"

"Qingyin, since you can use this bracelet to transfer items to Yunjin, and you can easily travel between the two worlds, how can you not believe that the Queen Mother really has such ability?"

These words left Xu Qingyin speechless.

Lu Yan and Xu Qingyin listened to Xu Luohan's story together.

"Many years ago, I was just an ordinary girl with glasses. My father and my brothers were not wandering around the world like this. I also looked forward to getting married and having children like ordinary people.

"But ever since the arrival of the Empress Dowager, our former Imperial Master observed that the fate of the entire Yunjin people has been transformed. Back then, my father and brothers not only believed in governing our country through loving our country and the people, and passing the civil and military examinations internally, but they also believed in the Imperial Master's words and devoted themselves to the cultivation of Taoism.

"Until that year, the Queen Mother noticed our family and personally changed my fate through the Imperial Master!"

When Xu Luohan talked about this, she still looked very heartbroken.

"It was precisely because of the efforts of my father and brothers that I was able to cultivate my destiny. Back then, the destiny of the savior of the entire Yunjin region was mine, but the Imperial Preceptor had always been used by the Empress Dowager, and she personally wiped out my destiny!

"My father and brother also noticed this at that time. They didn't want me to sink into despair or even disappear from this world, so they found a way to transfer me to another world. They even stayed with me until I had experienced that ill-fated fate and then returned to Yunjin to continue fighting her."

"Although I have my family by my side, the pain the Queen Mother made me experience in the other world is no less. In the other world, we all lost our memories and just lived an ordinary life. However, I was betrayed by a heartless man. He died in childbirth while giving birth to my daughter. At the same time, to make my father unhappy, fate specially arranged for him to have a rebellious son. He eventually died of a serious illness. My brother died of shock in a car accident..."

"Even my daughter has become an orphan. Her father doesn't love her, and I'm not by her side... Qingyin, I'm sorry for you. It's because of me that you've gone through all this pain."

When talking about these things, Xu Luohan's face was full of pain. When she thought about what Xu Qingyin had experienced over the years, she couldn't help but blame herself.

But when Xu Qingyin saw her mother so sad, she wiped away her tears with her own hands and said quickly:

"That's not the case, that's not the case. I know you had no choice. I have never blamed you. Now, being able to face it with you is the happiest thing for me."

"After my fate was changed, not only did my father and brothers suffer so much pain for me, but even my daughter could not live in peace. Finally, after giving birth to Xu Qingyin, she died of complications during childbirth. I returned to Yunjin once again. After returning to Yunjin, I inherited the energy cultivated by my father and brother, and immediately became Yunjin's most powerful national teacher."

"When I first arrived, my father and brother's destiny hadn't been completed yet, so I was on my own. But I knew my father and brother were determined to save Yunjin. Although I knew they weren't doing well at the moment, I still tried my best to help them plan for the future and secure their throne. Because I knew that once they passed away, power would surely fall into the hands of the concubine's son, and then all of Yunjin would be in chaos."

"So no matter how much I hate the Queen Mother, I have never shown any resentment. I have endured humiliation and waited until the day when you all come to Yunjin."

"But that day I discovered that the Imperial Concubine was secretly poisoning the Empress Dowager. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me. Now that you're here, Qingyin, if I could use my life to bring down the Empress Dowager, I'd be willing to do it."
