At this point, the Queen Mother suddenly trembled and her voice became dim, "No, we should call you the late emperor now..."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, her chest hurt, and she coughed violently.
Hearing her cough, a woman in white came out from behind the curtain, holding a cup of tea in her hand and said: "My Lady, drink some water to moisten your throat. You are still sick, so don't talk too much."
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's much better now. It's okay. Are you still used to living here?"
The woman smiled bitterly, "Xue Yao's heart has followed the death of the 130 people in Zuo Xiang's Mansion. It doesn't matter whether she is rich or poor, it doesn't matter to Xue Yao."
The Queen Mother looked at Lin Xueyao's pale and haggard look, and sighed: "I just feel sorry for you, it's all my fault that the Ai family... didn't make the decision earlier for you to marry Che'er, otherwise things wouldn't have reached this point."
Lin Xueyao smiled bitterly and said: "Human relationships are cold and warm, and the world is hot and cold. Xueyao has already seen through it."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother was silent for a moment, took her hand and said seriously: "Xue Yao... think about your father. He is under the influence of Jiuquan. What would he think when he sees you become like this? You are his only daughter.
, you are the only one who survived, but you are like this, what is the difference between living and dead?!"
Lin Xueyao's eyes turned red when she heard this, "I would rather die than my father..."
"Okay, I want to ask you a question." The Queen Mother frowned and said, "If it was you who died and your father survived, then think about it, what would your father do? He would be as distracted and mourning as you are.
Pity?"
Lin Xueyao had never seen the Queen Mother in such a serious and serious moment. She was startled when asked
If dad were alive...if he were dad, he would definitely not let Su Qingyi go. If she hadn't broken into Zuo Xiang's Mansion regardless of black and white to stir up trouble, dad would not have become the one in Duguhong's hands, let alone be subjected to
implicated
Everything was planned by her, and her father was always a pawn in their hands!
If it were dad... he would definitely avenge the entire Zuoxiang Mansion and himself...
Seeing Lin Xueyao gradually waking up, the Queen Mother lowered her eyes and said: "After all the tricks have been exhausted, even the Ai family has become a pawn in her hands. Chen'er truly regards me as her mother-in-law, and she...ha"
She didn't expect the Queen Mother to say such words. Lin Xueyao was a little surprised, "Your Majesty..."
The Queen Mother's eyes were wet. She turned back, held Lin Xueyao's hand, and said: "Xueyao, the Ai family is also alone and has no support anymore. Life and death for you and me is just a word from her. But the more this happens, the less we can lose heart."
, as long as there is breath left, we must find a way to live, find a way to climb up, find a way... to get rid of her, you know?"
The Queen Mother had made it very clear. Lin Xueyao looked at the Queen Mother's sincerity and thought about the unjust death of her father and family. The hatred in her heart suddenly rose, and the undercurrent surged. "Xue Yao understands, but... Xueyao doesn't know what to do."
The Queen Mother sneered and said: "I am not as good as her when it comes to political intrigues, but the harem is different from the temple. The water in the harem is deeper and turbid. It is not just about power and desire. Anything with the fetters of emotions will always make one's body uneasy."
It’s up to you…”
"What the empress means is..." Lin Xueyao seemed to understand but not understand.
The Queen Mother looked at her and said calmly: "Since ancient times, it has been a common thing for the emperor to have three thousand beauties in the three palaces and six courtyards, and it is a taboo in the harem to exclusively favor the concubines. It is a taboo in the country to wait until the Ai family is in good health.
She is working with the court officials to prepare for the draft for the emperor. If she stops her, she will gain a reputation as a favorite. If she does not stop her, the initiative will be in our hands."
