"No, Aijia doesn't agree!" the Queen Mother said firmly, "Zhaohua is devoted to the princess, how can Aijia put a woman next to him? Furthermore, the princess has just had a miscarriage. If he does this, he will hate Aijia. of."

"Queen Mother," Jing Xin advised, "every man has three wives and four concubines. Your Highness is a prince, and it's really outrageous to have only the princess by your side. The princess has hurt her body due to miscarriage. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get pregnant again in the future. Even if I don't do it for Besides, we must also think about His Highness’s heirs.”

"Jingxin, who have you seen in the past few days?" The Queen Mother turned her head to look at Jingxin, her lips seemed to be smiling but not a smile, her gaze suddenly sharp, and there was a cold light that made people unable to hide, "You followed the Ai family All my life, Aijia has hated unfaithful dogs, so I don’t need to remind Aijia about this, right?"

Jingxin was startled and quickly knelt down, but she neither admitted her mistake nor explained, she just knelt and trembled.

"Mother," Emperor Jiayou said, wearing a black robe with red edges and a dragon crown on his head. He looked noble and cold, majestic and ruthless, "This decision was made by me, but I am worried that my mother will not be able to accept it for a while. I asked Aunt Jingxin to help persuade me, but obviously, the result was not what I thought."

"Emperor," the Queen Mother sat up and looked at her son seriously, feeling a little strange, "Who gave you the power to make such a decision privately?"

Emperor Jiayou was not annoyed, his smile was still submissive, but his voice lost warmth. He pointed to the sky: "Queen Mother, I am the [-]th Supreme Being. I receive orders from heaven. Naturally, it is the power given to me by heaven, and my decision is my own." It’s destiny.”

The Queen Mother frowned and immediately shouted angrily: "Emperor! Zhaohua is your biological brother. He has lost the possibility of ascending to the throne. In the past ten years, your throne has been as stable as Mount Tai. Why do you want to kill them all? Why don't you let him go?" ?!”

Emperor Jiayou moved his body and said with a smile: "Mother, I remember that the medicine seemed to make people infertile for life, but Princess Qi still had it. Do you think it was Princess Qi who climbed the wall or Zhaohua's antidote to the poison? What? If you want to maintain your country forever and maintain your position, you must clear away all obstacles, whether they are enemies on the surface or potential threats. For the sake of the country of Great Qin, I would rather kill the enemy than let go!"

"Emperor, are you crazy?!" The Queen Mother looked at the son who had always been obedient to her in disbelief, shocked, sad, and a little confused.

Emperor Jiayou smiled: "As soon as you ascend the Six Treasures, the six relatives will be inseparable. Which emperor of all ages did not come from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood? Which emperor did not have numerous bones under the dragon chair? Mother, a woman's kindness cannot be achieved Great weapon."

The Queen Mother shook her head and looked at Emperor Jiayou sadly: "Since you want to defeat Zhaohua, why don't you do it openly? If you are as good as the Five Emperors and the Three Emperors, Zhaohua and you are as different as clouds and mud, but you As the emperor, why do you use such unsavory methods?!"

"Mother, this is called the art of the emperor." The more intense the queen mother's reaction, the happier Emperor Jiayou became. Because of his laughter, his face became twisted and ferocious, "I am the king and the emperor, and there is nothing right or wrong in my actions." However, Zhaohua is a minister. If I want him to be born, he will have to live an ignoble existence. If I want him to die, he will have no bones left!"

The Queen Mother was heartbroken. She burst into tears and was distraught: "Why? Why did you become like this?!"

Emperor Jiayou sneered: "Mother, I have to ask you and your father how you taught me this! What's wrong with me? I have been considerate and filial to you since I was a child, and I have never let you worry about it. But why do I do everything I do? No, I can’t do anything right?! In the past ten years, whether you were sick, injured, sad, or happy, I was the one who was clearly by your side to fulfill your responsibilities as a son. Why are you unhappy? Like a dog wagging its tail in front of you and begging for mercy, it is better to have another good son of yours give you a good look! Even when Princess Qi was assassinated, you helped him to harm my queen! Mother, since you feel that my son is not pleasing to your eyes, Then there is no need for me to pretend to be a loving mother and a filial son! But I only have this to say. If you are really good for Zhaohua, then say less to me, lest I lose control of myself in a fit of anger and directly ignore my face and decency. It will kill Zhaohua!"

After Emperor Jiayou finished speaking, he laughed a few times, straightened his clothes, and left with a high head.

The Queen Mother stood up slowly and heard the news that Emperor Jiayou had restrained her in disguise. She took a few steps forward and suddenly fell down as if exhausted. Jing Xin caught her with quick eyes and hands: "Queen Mother, my nephew is in Qilin." In Wei's hands, this servant has to..."

The Queen Mother was stunned for a while, then she suddenly grabbed Jingxin's hand and squeezed it tightly: "Jingxin, what happened? Why did the emperor suddenly... suddenly lose control of himself."

Jingxin's eyes were red and she said: "Queen Mother, Dingbeihou has been in and out of Chengming Palace frequently recently. Perhaps Dingbeihou has already pledged his allegiance to Your Majesty. In addition, the Qilin Guards are crazy and will do anything. Now all the officials are frightened. Holding these two swords, it is no wonder that his temperament suddenly changed."

"His temperament has changed drastically, he was born like this!" The Queen Mother knelt on the ground, heartbroken, "It's not that the Ai family and the late emperor don't love him, they are strict with him because they are afraid that he will go astray. He has been on the wrong path since he was a child. He wants to be strong in everything, but he is ambitious but incapable. The missing part of his was filled by cruelty and ruthlessness. Unexpectedly, he ended up at this point. It was all the sins of the Ai family in his previous life, and he gave birth to such a debt collector. son!"

Jing Xin persuaded in a low voice: "Queen Mother, the matter has come to this. Only by taking care of yourself can you provide protection for His Highness Prince Qi."

The Queen Mother took a few deep breaths and pushed back the tears that were swirling in her eyes. She stood up with Jing Xin's hand and slowly returned to the imperial concubine chair to sit down. Then she asked: "Which family does your Majesty want to buy?" Promise your daughter to Zhaohua? Since he forced you to be a lobbyist, he must tell you which family the girl is from. "

Jing Xin said: "One is Yuan Caiwei, the niece of the original concubine and the granddaughter of Duke Cheng En, and the other is Xiao Meiruo, the niece of Concubine Xiao and the granddaughter of Duke Jin. Both of them have higher birth status than Princess Qi."

The Queen Mother had calmed down a lot. After hearing Jing Xin's words, she showed an extremely sarcastic smile: "The Yuan family and the Xiao family have been at odds for many years, and the two concubines are of higher background than the princess. If the two of them marry into Prince Qi's palace, I'm just afraid that Zhaohua will catch fire in the backyard sooner or later, and he won't be able to take care of himself."

Jingxin hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak out: "Queen Mother, there is news from the Chengming Palace that Prime Minister Yu intends to resign and go into seclusion. He has asked your Majesty to resign, but your Majesty has not agreed."

"Fool! Idiot!" The Queen Mother was furious and cursed a few times, "That old guy Yu Qian will do whatever it takes to get to the top. He is now in an extremely prestigious position, and he is willing to give up everything and go into seclusion? And he has made many enemies. If there is no prime minister, With his identity, he was only afraid of dying without a burial place, so he dared to go into seclusion?! Only a fool like the emperor believed that he would go into seclusion. He clearly wanted to retreat in order to make the emperor relax his vigilance and focus on dealing with Zhaohua. ! If Zhaohua falls, this court will probably be his world!"

Jingxin was also worried: "Then Queen Mother, what should we do?"

The Queen Mother said: "Go, find the Ai family's token and give it to Princess Qi."

Jingxin was shocked and said: "Queen Mother, you only have this token, how can you give it to Princess Qi casually?"

The Queen Mother said firmly: "Prince Qi's palace cannot fall. Princess Qi is the hope. You can send it to her as soon as possible! Don't worry about your nephew. The Ai family will find a way. The Ai family is tired."

Jingxin helped the Queen Mother up and said softly: "Queen Mother, I will wait for you to rest before you leave the palace to visit Princess Qi."

After Jingxin left the palace overnight, someone immediately went to the Chengming Palace to inform Emperor Jiayou: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has been scolding you since you left Qingning Palace, and even asked Jingxin to leave the palace with her token. , and headed straight to Prince Qi’s Mansion.”

"Excuse me?" Emperor Jiayou held the memorial in his hand and opened his eyes, extremely crazy, "Why did the queen mother scold me?"

The chamberlain quickly said: "I dare not say anything."

Emperor Jiayou smiled, cold and cruel, his voice as gentle as ever, as if he was still the benevolent monarch: "I tell you to say it, you say it."

The young chamberlain said tremblingly: "The Queen Mother called you stupid and stupid. The whole Qingning Palace heard it."

"Okay, I understand, you can go down!" Emperor Jiayou withdrew his gaze and continued to review the memorial. It was the memorial that the Ministry of Punishment presented to him about the death penalty. He didn't even read it, so he drew a red circle without hesitation. He felt good about the feeling of taking life and death and killing people without any effort.

At the end, he grinned, with a strange and strange light in his eyes: "Mother, I told you not to worry about that brat anymore, but you still sent the token to Prince Qi's palace. I am the emperor, so you think I am the one who speaks. Are you farting?!"
