Emperor Yin De stood up slowly. Because he had drunk too much wine, he almost fell on the dragon chair again. Fortunately, Su Qingyao and Li Fuhai had quick eyesight and quick hands to support him.

"Yaoer, I'll leave this to you, I'll go first." Emperor Yinde patted Su Qingyao's shoulder, then took Li Fuhai's arm and left.

After Su Qingyao got up and saw everyone off, she looked at Concubine Hui Shu and the eldest princess below and said nothing.

Ci'an Palace has been deserted for seven years. Usually there is only a little maid arranged by the Queen Mother and Emperor Yinde here, and the imperial doctor comes to check for pulse from time to time.

Emperor Yinde had known for a long time that the Empress Dowager would suffer from headaches as soon as winter came, so he only ordered the imperial physician to take good care of her, but did not say a word of other concern.

Li Fuhai opened the door of Ci'an Palace again, and Emperor Yinde walked in. He had not seen the Queen Mother for seven years.

"My slave, please pay your respects to Your Majesty." The little palace maid was pressing the Queen Mother's head. Seeing Emperor Yin De coming in, she hurriedly stepped forward to send her greetings.

Emperor Yin De didn't say anything and sat down on a chair in front of the Queen Mother's bed.

Li Fuhai took the little palace maid out, and only Emperor Yinde and the Queen Mother and their son were left in the palace.

The Queen Mother is now very weak and has a constant headache, but her consciousness is very clear.

Looking at Emperor Yin De, who had already grown a beard, he had to lament the ruthlessness of time. In the blink of an eye, her son had also passed his thirties.

"The Emperor still remembers that he has not seen the Ai family for several years?" The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Yinde sitting so far away from her, and she couldn't help but feel that he was unfamiliar.

"Seven years." Emperor Yinde replied without hesitation. Chengjue and Yun Shu had just celebrated their seventh birthdays a few days ago, and he and the Queen Mother had not seen each other for seven years.

"Yes, it's been seven years." The Queen Mother said with emotion, "Over the years, the Ai family has been thinking about the Emperor when you were a child. When you see the Ai family, you will run over quickly, salute respectfully, and call the Ai family "mother queen". , The Ai family doesn’t know how you could bear to care about the Ai family for seven years.”

"When I was a child, I grew up under the knees of my aunt. I don't understand when the Queen Mother said she was a child. Was it after I was ten years old?" Emperor Yinde would never call the Queen Mother "Mother" again.

The Queen Mother was a little excited, "It's your aunt again, she's just a princess. What can she give you? Emperor, don't forget that your biological mother passed away early. If it weren't for the Ai family, those concubines and princes would just call you... A child without a mother.”

"The Ai family also lost their own children. The Ai family thought that by raising you under their knees, we could hug each other for warmth. Who knew that you would still go to your aunt's house every two days? How would you let others view the Ai family? , do you think the Ai family is going to abuse you?"

"So you're going to ground her?" Emperor Yin De's voice also raised a little higher. Although the eldest princess didn't say anything about this, Queen Chun Zhao Yiren said something right. From the time she was little to adulthood, where did she go? Suffered this kind of grievance.

"Emperor, why don't you get close to the mother of the Aijia? Why did you turn your elbows outward? Do you think you did the right thing?" How could the Queen Mother not feel aggrieved?

"Wai?" Emperor Yinde suddenly sneered, "Who is that outsider? If it weren't for my aunt, I might not have lived to be ten years old. You just watched me become the prince and you became the queen, so you insisted on raising me. Isn’t it for the honor of the mother, queen, and empress dowager? Who is the one who enjoys the benefits, and who is the one who feels wronged?"

Emperor Yinde never said these words, but he understood them very well in his heart.

"Are you just sitting back and enjoying the gains? Didn't your uncle also work hard for the imperial court and almost lose his life? The Ning family already has the strength to assist you in ascending the throne, why do you still rely on the Shangguan family? Watching your uncle being suppressed by Prime Minister Shangguan all day long Are you happy at the end? Is it wrong for a person to work hard to climb up? Emperor, didn't you risk half your life to sit on this ninth-five-year-old position?" The Queen Mother asked, one sentence Next sentence.

"I never think that there is anything wrong with climbing up alone, but there is nothing wrong with using some shameful means to climb up?" Emperor Yinde took a few steps forward and stared at the Queen Mother, "On this point, You, the Ning family, have behaved very well."

"First it was you who instigated the relationship between me and my aunt, and then it was Ning Taibao who committed corruption and accepted bribes. All of them, which one of them wronged you?"

"And you made Concubine Hui Shu drink safflower so that she would no longer have the possibility of having children."

"When the Queen gave birth to Jue'er, you wanted to steal the throne. You wanted to kill the Queen directly and make your niece Ning Murou the hero of giving birth to the noble son. Isn't this what you did?"

"How dare you say that I am cruel? Don't you deserve to pay the price for everything you have done?"

Emperor Yin De's eyes turned red unconsciously, remembering many past events.

Especially the night Chengjue and Yun Shu were born, they were almost plotted against.

"The Ai family is from the Ning family. Is it wrong to make plans for your own family and your own niece? When Rou'er was still young and could not marry you, she took advantage of Shangguan Xiaoyue in vain. What was the result? She Do you really have that fate? Didn't you die early in front of your mother? Is the Shangguan family really prosperous now? "

Unconsciously, Emperor Yin De's fists were clenched.

If the Queen Mother hadn't instigated the relationship between him and the eldest princess, he wouldn't have been so insecure, nor would he have been so impulsive as to marry Shangguan Xiaoyue.

He and Shangguan Xiaoyue were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. He also loved this cousin very much. He didn't dare to ask Shangguan Xiaoyue if she really liked him. He was afraid that the result he would get would be that she liked his imperial brother or The emperor's younger brother, that means that the Shangguan family and him are completely on opposite sides.

Unexpectedly, he really ruined her life's happiness.

"Don't say anything. I came here today not to quarrel. God will tell you what is right and what is wrong." Emperor Yinde sat back on his chair and looked at the Queen Mother who was getting weaker and weaker.

He knew that the Queen Mother was really kind to him, but that kind of kindness really came with benefits and required him to repay it to the Ning family.

He would rather not have this kind of kindness and this kind of dedication.

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Yin De who was sitting not far away from her, and tears kept flowing out.

If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. Everyone is selfish. Why is it that you are the only one who made the mistake?

Maybe it's not a mistake, but a failure.

"Emperor, you must know that Aijia is your mother-in-law and your father's wife." The Queen Mother's words clearly meant that she was seeking honor after death for herself.

At this point, Emperor Yin De would naturally satisfy her a little.
