Chapter 728 I will destroy everything you care about
The Queen Mother's condition stabilized, and Mo Bai and Lian'er were taking care of her. Zhan Qingcheng and Di Ji, who had not rested all night, did not go back to the room to rest, but went to the side hall.
A letter was thrown on the table by Zhan Qingcheng, and the ice aura on his face was stronger than before.
The eyebrows that have been frozen for thousands of years not only have no warmth at all, but today there is even a coldness that is so cold that it can make people's bones freeze.
Di Ji picked up the opened letter on the table.
There was no signature on the envelope, so he directly took out the letter paper inside.
This is the last letter from the Queen Mother! The letter says that she has been in poor health for many years and is not suitable for long journeys. After all, she is the late emperor's concubine. She is a member of the Zhan family in life and a ghost of the Zhan family in death.
She didn't want to leave the imperial city, but she didn't want to drag Ah Jiu down. Now that she had lived long enough, she wanted to follow the late emperor.
She had no request, she just asked that she could be buried with the late emperor, thus fulfilling her long-cherished wish.
It turned out that the Queen Mother had such deep feelings for the late Emperor, and asking her to leave the imperial city and be with the Ninth Prince was betraying the late Emperor.
Therefore, the Queen Mother has been reluctant to leave. She is afraid that if she leaves, she will die a hundred years later and will not have the chance to be buried with the late emperor.
The Queen Mother also knew that if she did not leave, Ah Jiu would definitely stay in the imperial city for her. In this way, she would be a drag on Ah Jiu.
So after much deliberation, the Queen Mother came up with a way to commit suicide. She was really desperate.
"Did I keep forcing her, or did someone push her without permission?"
Zhan Qingcheng's eyebrows were serious, and this time when facing Emperor Ji, he was no longer as gentle as in the past.
Emperor Ji felt guilty and put the letter back into the envelope. He was silent for a moment and then whispered: "I... did persuade the Queen Mother for a while last night."
"Just persuading her, or showing her a clear path?"
"Ajiu! Are you doubting me?"
Emperor Ji was a little excited. Could it be that he would really force the Queen Mother to death?
"I did analyze your current situation to the Queen Mother, but I didn't say anything too harsh. The Queen Mother... she just couldn't think about it for the moment."
Zhan Qingcheng said nothing. The Queen Mother's suicide had a great impact on him. As a son of a human being, he must fulfill his responsibility to protect her, whether she is her biological mother or her adoptive mother.
But his mother-in-law was in his mansion and almost committed suicide.
Although Emperor Ji also felt guilty, he never expected that the Queen Mother would use such a drastic method.
The Queen Mother was kind to Ah Jiu, which meant she was kind to the entire Imperial family. How could he hope that anything would happen to the Queen Mother?
"Ajiu..." "Why is the Queen Mother carrying poison on her body?"
"Ajiu!"
Zhan Qingcheng's words made Di Ji so excited that he almost lifted himself out of his wheelchair.
"Do you suspect that I was the one who poisoned the Queen Mother?
Or do you suspect that I gave the Queen Mother poison and encouraged her to commit suicide?"
This kid! This kid is so outrageous! How could he doubt himself?
Even if he really hoped that the Queen Mother would not drag Ah Jiu down, if the Queen Mother was not willing, he would never force her and could only find another way.
How could Ah Jiu suspect that he had such a vicious heart?
How could he be so cruel to a frail and sick woman?
"My adoptive father has always put me and the overall situation first. I should be grateful. However, before my adoptive father made any decision, did he ask me whether I am happy for my adoptive father to do this?"
Zhan Qingcheng suddenly stood up and stared at Di Ji with an aggressive look.
"Half a year ago, my adoptive father left the city innocently. Did he also do something 'for the good of this king'?"
"Ajiu..." Di Ji's expression changed, and his heart suddenly felt weak. Did Ajiu... really know what he did to Feng Jiu'er?
Zhan Qingcheng's face had never looked so ugly. It was obvious whether he knew it or not.
"My adoptive father taught me a favor, and I will remember it for the rest of my life. But, adoptive father, if you harm my people again, I will definitely destroy everything that my adoptive father cares about."
"Ajiu, what my adoptive father cares about most is you."
He was so loyal, why didn’t Ah Jiu understand?
Could it be that Ah Jiu still wants to destroy himself?
"No, what my adoptive father cares about is the emperor's family. My adoptive father only cares about whether the former glory can be restored."
"Ajiu..." "If I disband the Tianzun Sect, destroy the Yeming Palace, and let the Longwu Army under my command disarm and return to the fields..." "Ajiu! You can't do this! Even if what your adoptive father did was wrong, then
It’s really for you and your world.”
Di Ji panicked, because he knew that Ah Jiu never liked to joke, let alone say meaningless words.
He was not kidding. If he was forced to have no way out, he might really destroy all the chances of the Emperor's family to recover for the sake of the people he cared about.
As long as Tianzunmen and Yeming Palace are disbanded, and the Ninth Prince's army is also disbanded, what hope does their imperial family have of recovering?
"Ajiu, my adoptive father knows that he was wrong. For the sake of being a member of the Emperor's family, please forgive me for once, okay?"
Di Ji did not dare to confront him. He had watched Ah Jiu grow up, so Di Ji naturally knew his temper.
At this time, there is no other way but to show weakness.
Although Ah Jiu has a bad temper and although he looks cold-hearted, in fact, Ah Jiu always has a soft heart towards his family.
Emperor Ji knew that he was lucky enough to be at least one of Ah Jiu's "own people".
"Ajiu, I just hope you can be safe. From now on, I will not interfere with the affairs of Tianzun Sect and Longwu Army, okay?"
Zhan Qingcheng still didn't speak. Some things can only be known after experiencing them.
He didn't know whether Di Ji could fulfill his promise.
Just as he was about to go out, there were footsteps outside.
Yu Jingfeng stopped outside the door: "Your Majesty, Feng Jiu is leaving."
The door was opened, and Zhan Qingcheng stepped out.
Di Ji sighed for a while, but he was helpless.
Yu Jingfeng followed Zhan Qingcheng and reported back to him: "Your Majesty, my subordinates reported that after Feng Jiu took Leng Yue into the dining room, he asked everyone to go out and wait. When Feng Jiu left, Leng Yue did not come out. Everyone
I don’t dare to go in.”
Without waiting for the prince's response, Yu Jingfeng said again: "Your Majesty, do you need someone to go in and take a look?"
"What did she say?"
Zhan Qingcheng asked, of course she was referring to Feng Jiu.
Yu Jingfeng replied: "She said, let Leng Yue make herbal meals in the dining room by herself, and ask everyone not to disturb her for an hour."
"Let the doctor wait outside and come back in an hour later."
"doctor?"
Yu Jingfeng was slightly stunned and wanted to ask more questions, but the prince had already walked away quickly.
Yu Jingfeng thought about it and was suddenly stunned.
What the prince means is that Feng Jiu probably beat up Leng Yue?
But even though he knew Leng Yue was injured, he still listened to Feng Jiu and took an hour before letting anyone in.
Yu Jingfeng couldn't help feeling a little emotional, Leng Yue was really asking for trouble by provoking Feng Jiu.
