Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"What about the Queen Mother?"

It doesn’t matter whether Longkodo comes or not. The most important thing is that the empress dowager has to come, otherwise the emperor will find it difficult to take action.

Su Peisheng was stunned for a moment, then replied, "I just went to check, the Queen Mother has already left, so she must be here soon."

"Okay, it will be up to the Empress Dowager in a bit."

The emperor spoke in a cold tone. Who is the empress dowager? She is the emperor's biological mother, but to the emperor, she is just a pawn.

Even Su Peisheng, who was listening from the side, felt that the emperor had no humanity at all.

The Queen Mother pushed open the door and found Longkodo sitting inside.

I thought it would be the emperor who came, but unexpectedly it was the empress dowager who came, it was Wu Ya Chengbi!

"Your humble servant, Longkodo, pays respects to the Queen Mother."

"Get up quickly."

Originally, these two had been childhood sweethearts, but now because of the imperial power, they have to kneel down like this.

The Queen Mother's health has been deteriorating day by day. She is only now forcing herself to come and see Longkodo. This is also the last time they will see each other in this life.

"I made some food for you, please eat it quickly."

The Queen Mother took the basket from Zhuxi, placed it in front of Longkodo, and let Zhuxi go out first.

"Look at you, your clothes are so dirty and you don't even know how to change them. At least dress decently."

The Queen Mother looked Longkodo up and down.

Over the past few decades, since she entered the palace, she had never had the chance to take a good look at Longkodo like she did this time.

He is old now and his hair is white, but I can still see in him the look that I liked back then.

But I’m at this age now, there’s no need for love or affection. I’ve just been making do with this in my life.

"It is my fault."

The Queen Mother's words made Longkodo feel a little embarrassed, and he smiled innocently.

Perhaps their relationship was not as good as before, so Longkodo's behavior did not seem so comfortable.

"Okay, let's eat quickly."

The Queen Mother urged, saying that she had finished this matter but still wanted to go back and rest quickly, she was really tired.

"Cheng Bi, I was the one who let you down back then."

Long Keduo poured a glass of wine and said, "I didn't fulfill my promise to you after all."

After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

In fact, it was a lie for the Queen Mother to say that she cared. After all, the man in front of her was the person she wanted to marry most when she was young. But it was also him who sent her into the palace with his own hands.

It would be a lie to say that she no longer loved him, and it would also be a lie to say that she did not hate him, but the Queen Mother knew in her heart that she still felt reluctant to let him go.

"Alright, I don't care anymore. I'm the queen mother now. Think about it, if you don't send me to the palace, I won't be the queen mother in the end."

The Queen Mother smiled and said something to comfort Longkodo.

After all, the past is the past, and I don’t want to argue with Longkodo about it now.

Back then, he sent me into the palace with his own hands, and the same is true now. I am the one who is going to kill him with my own hands. After all, we owe each other nothing.

After a while, Longkodo responded.

Foaming at the mouth and bleeding from the corners of the mouth.

"you you......"

Longkodo used up the last bit of his strength to point at the Queen Mother. In this last moment of his life, he also realized how cruel the woman who once said she wanted to marry him was.

However, he couldn't even utter the last words and just collapsed, dying with his eyes open!

That’s right, this is what the Empress Dowager wanted. For the sake of her son and the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, she could only sacrifice her childhood sweetheart.

"Longkodo, don't blame me for being cruel. Aren't you and I the same? You should put the overall situation first. You sent me to the palace to support your elder sister, Empress Xiaoyiren."

The Queen Mother started to cry as she spoke: "At the beginning you said that you would come to my house to propose marriage after the selection. At that time you wanted me to send Powder Blue to the selection. You said that the color the late emperor hated the most was Powder Blue, and I would definitely fail. But I didn't expect that you had already planned it out. The late emperor liked Powder Blue the most, so if I was selected, there would be no possibility for us to be together."

"And you, who said you would marry no one else! After I entered the palace, you had many wives and concubines! You really made me a laughing stock. Fortunately, the late emperor treated me well."

"Alright, now, don't blame me. I am first the Empress Dowager of Taiqing, the biological mother of the Emperor, the glory of the Uya clan, and then the Defei of the late Emperor, your childhood sweetheart!"

When it comes to her children's love affairs, the empress dowager is very clear about the differences. Everything is based on the overall situation. Now the emperor needs to consolidate his position, and as his biological mother, she must not let him have any worries.

Although killing Longkodo went against the Queen Mother's wishes, the overall situation was such that the Queen Mother had no choice but to do so!

"Zhuxi, let's go."

The Queen Mother wiped away her tears in the room before letting Zhuxi support her and go back.

At the Yangxin Palace, the emperor also received the news.

Longkodo is dead.

The emperor will definitely be satisfied with this result. He will not receive any criticism from his ministers, nor will he feel guilty. Instead, the Qing Dynasty will have no worries!

"The Queen Mother is still willing to help me."

The emperor's tone was indifferent, as if he himself was not that happy about Longkodo's death.

"What was the Queen Mother's reaction?"

The emperor asked Su Peisheng.

Although she was the Empress Dowager, Su Peisheng had to send someone to keep an eye on her as long as the Emperor gave the order.

This is the ruthlessness of the emperor.

"The Queen Mother is not in good health. I think she is tired, so she returned to Shoukang Palace after leaving the side hall. Your Majesty does not need to worry."

Su Peisheng spoke timidly.

But what the Emperor cares about most is not the Empress Dowager's health. Saying that she is not feeling well is a nice thing to say. What he is afraid of is that she is not feeling well mentally.

Even if it was because of this incident, it's possible that the Queen Mother would hold a grudge against me.

"Forget it. Tell everyone that the Queen Mother is ill. No one is allowed to disturb her. Let the imperial physician take good care of her."

It sounds nice to say, but in fact the emperor himself just doesn't want to go and he just doesn't know how to face the empress dowager.

It has been a quiet and deserted time these days. Concubine Duan is now in charge of the affairs of the six palaces. If she doesn't tidy things up, it would be her dereliction of duty.

Although there were many things happening during this period, Concubine Duan had been keeping an eye on An Lingrong's singing lessons and was not vague at all.

Now, I have almost learned it, and it's time to put it to use.

"My lady, is this okay?"

An Lingrong looked down at her clothes and asked unconfidently.

I usually wear simple clothes, which, if it were Nian Shilan, would be considered petty.
