The Queen Mother's face turned pale: "How foolish and stupid you are!"

Gao Yu did not get angry but laughed instead, nodding his head repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I am stupid and foolish, nothing like you who is outstanding and shocking!

But what does it matter? Now, your life is in the hands of a fool like me. In a word, if I want you to live, you can live, and if I want you to die, you have to die!"

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Now that the relationship has been torn apart, there is no need to be cautious or pretend anymore.

After so many years, he has been waiting impatiently! Success or failure depends on today!

Gao Yi waved his hand and said, "Someone, tie her up for me!"

The Queen Mother gasped: "Gao Yi, you are crazy! How dare you attack me!"

Gao Yu glanced at Gao Qian who was enduring the pain, and suddenly laughed: "Thanks to my mother, there's already one madman over there, so now they don't have to worry about me adding another one! Hahahaha..."

The Queen Mother was heartbroken: "Do you know that if you really attack me today, even if we are mother and son, I can't save you!"

Gao Yi smiled with his lips raised, and said arrogantly: "Save? Mother, you better figure it out and see who needs to be saved, you or me!"

The Queen Mother was furious.

He's completely obsessed and won't listen to anything!

Gao Yu had been talking for a long time, but the soldiers over there didn't take any action. Looking over, he saw the soldiers looking at each other in confusion, and no one dared to take the lead.

After all, she is the Queen Mother, and she is accompanied by the palace guards. Once they start fighting, there will be no way back. After all, they are mother and son. If they come back to admit their mistakes and show mercy, maybe this matter will be over. But it is different for them. All the blame will be borne by them alone...

Seeing his men hesitating and looking back, Gao Yu was furious and shouted, "You can't hear what I say, are you all deaf?"

At the order, the soldiers dared not hesitate any longer.

The Queen Mother looked at them coldly and said, "Let's see who dares!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards immediately pointed their weapons at the palace soldiers. The two sides were on the verge of a stalemate.

However, due to the long sword in Prince Guangping's hand pointing at the Queen Mother, the guards were still somewhat restrained.

The two argued for a while, and seemed to have forgotten the person who had remained silent.

The Queen Mother's brows twitched, and she suddenly realized something. She slowly turned her eyes to look over, her gaze as cold as a knife: "A Qian, did you do this on purpose?"

Gao Yu didn't understand what was going on, so he looked over there.

The wound was excruciatingly painful. Gao Qian endured the pain and slowly raised his eyes, looking puzzled: "What did you say, mother, was it intentional?"

His haggard face looked innocent.

The news of the emperor's disappearance for many days had been suppressed. The only thing said was that he was accidentally seriously injured in the battle between the two armies and was still recovering in secret and was not allowed to see anyone.

It was not until a few days ago that Wang Tingyue quietly returned to Jinye and got the exact news about the emperor.

She also never expected that A Qian actually had a trick up his sleeve and secretly took the imperial seal out of the palace by switching it with another one.

If the national seal was really lost, and she used a fake national seal to support the prince to ascend to the throne, wouldn't that be...

When I went to sleep last night, a palace maid came to report that the emperor had actually gone to Shangnan Garden.

The empress dowager lowered her eyes. The most important thing at the moment was not to find out whether he had designed this matter, but to suppress it completely while the situation had not become serious and there was still room for maneuver. All those who were in Tongle Pavilion and involved in this matter would be killed, and Gao Yi would be detained in the mansion and not allowed to meet with anyone. This would barely cover up the matter.

If the two sides fought with real swords and guns, the situation would be out of control and the entire Jinye City would be alarmed. Then the Prince of Guangping's rebellion would be confirmed, and by then it would be too late!

They are fighting among themselves, both sides are hurt, someone must be taking advantage of this to make a big fuss and reap the benefits, which will benefit others...

The more the queen mother thought about it, the gloomier she became. She let go of her anger, calmed herself down, and said to Gao Yi earnestly, "Ah Yi, you are my biological son. I will never harm you. If I really wanted to fight you, I would not have brought only a team of guards. You know that you have committed treason. It's not too late to stop now. I can still save you—"

"Stop?" Gao Yu had no patience and interrupted with a sneer, "That's easy. If my mother really wants me to stop, she can just ask him to hand over the imperial seal and write an imperial edict to pass the throne to me. Anyway, no matter whether it's him, Gao Qian, or me sitting on the throne, you are the honorable empress dowager of the Great Qi, and no one can change that. I will not pursue any of the wrongs that my mother has done to me in the past. When I ascend the throne, I will still be filial to you in the future! What do you think, my mother?"

Although he was smiling at the end of his speech, his face looked grim.

The Queen Mother stared blankly at the man holding the sword. She never expected that he would be so stubborn!

He was so crazy even before he ascended the throne. If it really happened as he wished, then it would be...

She suppressed her anger and deliberately slowed down her tone: "Ah Yi, some things are not as easy as you think--"

Gao Yu snorted and laughed: "It's easy, of course it's easy, it's just a matter of an imperial edict, now as long as the two of you cooperate with me, then I will be the new emperor, who dares to object!"

The Queen Mother pursed her lips and said, "Not to mention that your brother is still alive, even the Crown Prince——"

Gao Yu smiled coldly: "Stop talking nonsense. What's the point of talking to me about so much nonsense? Why are you pretending to be a loving mother and a filial son? To put it bluntly, you are just afraid that you can't control me. Do you really think I can't see it? The emperor has been in power for so many years. How many things can he decide? Isn't it still you who have the final say in everything!"

The Queen Mother's thoughts were exposed, and her face completely sank. But she still tried to persuade him, "You and Qian are both my own children. As you said just now, it makes no difference to me who sits on the throne. Why should I favor one over the other? Qian has always been in poor health, and it is inevitable that I have to worry more about political affairs. But the Queen Mother is getting old and gradually feels unable to do so. The Crown Prince is still young. What if Qian - the only thing Yang'er and I can rely on is you, our uncle."

She was filled with sadness at the end.

Gao Yi chuckled, not wanting to say more, and motioned for people to tie her up: "I don't believe you can outlast me!"

The guards watched helplessly as the Queen Mother was tied up.

Gao Yi smiled faintly at the swaying Gao Qian: "Brother Emperor, let's continue the torture!"

Just as Gao Yi retracted his sword and walked towards Gao Qian, someone leaped up and slashed at Gao Yi with a sword raised.

Gao Yi instinctively fought back.

The Queen Mother's face changed drastically, and she stopped him loudly: "Don't do it!"

Obviously, it's too late.

In an instant, the entire backyard was filled with the flashing of swords and the sounds of fighting.

A eunuch avoided the people fighting and helped the empress dowager carefully hide in a corner.

Soon, blood and flesh were flying everywhere in the front and back yards, and the whole Tongle Hall was filled with the strong scent of powder and the stench of blood.

There was an unprepossessing eunuch quietly protecting Gao Qian.

Gao Qian kept his eyes down from beginning to end, tightly holding the blood-stained butterfly embroidered bag in his hand, standing silently behind the crowd, a strange smile appearing on his pale, almost sickly face.
