Chapter 450 Special
After entering the Ning Wang Mansion, Zhou Qing was surprised to see Princess Minghe there.
Meeting Zhou Qing's shocked eyes, Princess Minghe smiled bitterly.
"Don't worry, I saw him on the way to the Cining Palace. Commander Shen arranged to send him there.
I can't stay in the palace. I don't want to be a bargaining chip for someone to threaten the other party."
When the queen mother was forced into a corner, she would use her life to threaten the emperor, and the emperor was sentimental and might not compromise.
Zhou Qing looked at Minghe with some heartache.
This girl is only in her teens, sixteen or seventeen?
In modern times, she would be a high school student.
The biggest trouble every day may be that she can't recite the high standard of six dragons returning to the sun above, and the river of waves and twists below, and can't solve the last physics problem of uniform acceleration of the magnetic fluid propulsion ship.
And she can only suffer here from the life and death struggle between her parents.
In the palace.
As the night deepened, the Cining Palace became busier and busier because of the queen mother's serious illness.
This seemed to be a very ordinary night among many busy nights.
But all signs indicate that it seems not so normal.
The busy maids and eunuchs who usually come and go suppress their uneasiness, work silently, and glance at the main hall from time to time.
Why has His Majesty not come out for so long today?
Doesn't His Majesty usually just come to see you?
In the bedroom.
The Queen Mother looked solemnly proud, without a trace of the paleness of the past. On the contrary, her face was flushed because of her inner excitement.
"I gave you a chance, but you don't cherish it. You are my flesh and blood. I don't want you to be hurt in the slightest, but if you don't feel sorry for me, don't blame me for protecting myself."
The Queen Mother played with the bracelet on her wrist, with a sarcastic tone.
The emperor sat on the ground with a weak breath, covering his heart, and leaning on the wooden legs of the bed behind him, barely supporting himself.
There was anger and astonishment in his eyes, without any dignity of a king.
"You are pretending to be sick!"
The Queen Mother sneered, "If I didn't pretend to be sick, how could I let the Emperor condescend to come to my Cining Palace!
The Emperor is so vigilant, I have no choice.
Originally, I wanted to wait a little longer, but you put the envoy of Nanzhao under house arrest, I have no choice."
The Emperor's chest rose and fell, and he was furious, "Why! For so many years, I have never touched the title of the prince. This position will be his sooner or later. Can't you wait even for these few years?"
The Queen Mother sneered, "It's not us who can't wait, it's your Majesty who can't wait!
You didn't touch the title of the prince, but what can a title prove!
Your desire to kill the Zhenguogong party has long been deep in your bones. The reason why you didn't touch the prince is just that you didn't want to alert the enemy!
What's more, don't think I don't know what you mean by coming to the Cining Palace today and bringing Shen Li with you!
You want Shen Li to see me die with his own eyes!"
The Queen Mother suddenly laughed crazily.
Turning his head to look at Shen Li's body lying on the ground.
"It's a pity that Xu Wan's son, whom you have carefully raised and cultivated for so long, finally died in my hands!
He is just like his worthless mother!
Do you think that I don't know that Shen Li is Xu Wan's son because you are hiding him like this? You can't hide him for the fifteenth day!
You have not touched the title of the crown prince for so long, under the banner of appeasing the Zhenguo Mansion and balancing the Second Prince's Party, but secretly paving the way for Shen Li!
Now that he is dead, you have no way to pave!
If you know what's good for you and obey and give up the throne, I will let you enjoy the glory and wealth of the emperor in peace. If you don't, don't blame me, your mother, for being ruthless!"
The emperor looked at the queen mother in grief and despair.
The Queen Mother looked back at him coldly, "You have no choice!"
The Emperor barely pulled the corner of his mouth, his shoulders slumped, as if giving up all struggles, and smiled bitterly: "Then mother, can you tell me why the Rongyang Marquis's Mansion was wiped out? It's my last wish."
The Queen Mother sneered: "You and that old thing are really close. It's been 20 years, and you still want to find out.
What's the use of finding out? Can it let Zhou Huaishan live again!
Or are you crazy enough to think that Zhou Huaishan is the old thing!
Well, I will fulfill your wish, so that you and the old thing will have something to talk about in the future."
The Queen Mother spoke harshly, and the Emperor's expression of grief and despair did not change. He just looked at her with a pair of dull eyes.
"I have never wanted to kill the whole family of Rongyang Marquis's Mansion, only Rongyang Marquis. The one who really wants to kill his whole family is Nanzhao Kingdom. I am just going with the flow."
The Queen Mother's voice was full of resentment.
The emperor was barely breathing, and his expression was unbearable, "Why?"
"Although the old Rongyang Marquis handed over the military power, he still kept a command in his hand."
"Command?"
"The command gold medal can command the three armies! These three armies include the imperial guards, the border defense troops, and the private armies of the prefectures and counties!
This token can directly command the entire court's organized troops.
When the late emperor wanted to take back the military power in various places, the old Rongyang Marquis was the first to respond and handed it over directly, but the late emperor gave the old Rongyang Marquis such a token while taking back the military power.
He even engraved "For Zhou Huaishan only" on the token.
You say, should Zhou Huaishan die!"
