"You are really slippery than a loach!" Wang Shangshu laughed and scolded, "Who does Mr. Mu think his is that child?"
"Everyone is dead, it doesn't matter whose life it is."
"But this is a professional mistake of mine. If I don't let Mr. Mu know the truth, I will feel itchy."
Mu Shilang sighed and said, "Sir, you and I know it well, why do we have to say it out loud."
The two people's eyes coincided with each other, and they turned back to look in the direction of the palace.
But in the palace, after all the events today, as soon as Emperor Jing returned to the imperial study, the look on his face completely changed.
It’s rare to be elated!
It’s rare to be so happy!
Although I have lost one of my best guard leaders, it is so wonderful to be able to hang the head of my ninth brother's son on the city gate to be exposed to the wind and sun for seven days!
"Your Majesty, the people around the Regent outside are asking to see you, saying they have something for the Emperor."
at this time?
"Let him in."
"yes."
Soon, Xiang Yang, who had a baby face and a bright smile on his face, walked in.
"Who are you……"
"Back to Your Majesty, I am Xiang Yang, one of the four shadow guards around the Regent. Your Majesty asked me to send a letter to Your Majesty."
"Ninth brother, really, why can't you tell me directly? Why don't you send me a letter?" Emperor Jing, like an ordinary brother, went to get the letter in person.
"Your Majesty, the letter has been delivered. I will take my leave."
"Then I won't keep you."
Xiang Yang nodded and left.
After Xiang Yang went out, a sneer appeared on Emperor Jing's lips. Could it be that he wanted to plead for the child behind Ling Jing's back? Haha, it's a pity that it's too late!
The child's head has now been sent to the city gate!
Opening the letter, as soon as my eyes scanned it, a sneer froze at the corner of my mouth.
Unable to control his body shape, he staggered.
The letter paper almost got scratched, so I checked it again.
how come!
His children...
How could it be his child...
No, impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Bastard, just bastard!
He unfolded the almost torn letter again and read it, his eyes seeming to make a hole in the words on the paper.
In the end, the letter was completely shattered into pieces in his hands!
Because of this stimulation, memories that were completely absent from more than eight years ago suddenly emerged in my mind.
Tell him so clearly that that child is indeed his child!
The eunuch outside the palace door was startled when he heard a bang in the room, and immediately ran in to see what was going on.
But he was stopped by a look from the eunuch master next to him.
The little eunuch lowered his voice, "Master..."
The elder eunuch shook his head, although the younger eunuch didn't understand what was going on.
But the master told him not to go in. There must be a reason not to go in. He immediately returned to where he was and stood there. As long as there was no summons inside, he pretended not to hear.
At this moment, the Queen Mother's honor guard came from afar.
The two eunuchs immediately stood at attention.
Soon, the Queen Mother got off the sedan chair and asked Cihe, "Is the Emperor inside?"
"Yes, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother nodded and said to the palace attendants behind her, "You all are waiting outside. The Ai family can go in on their own."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
Having said that, the two eunuchs naturally did not need to be notified.
When the Queen Mother entered, she saw cinnabar ink all over the place.
The ferocious-looking Emperor Jing calmed down when he saw the Queen Mother coming in, "Mother, why are you here?"
The Queen Mother pretended not to see the cinnabar ink on the ground, avoided it without squinting, and sat down on the spot given by Emperor Jing. Then she looked sideways at Emperor Jing, who lowered his eyebrows.
"Chengsi."
As soon as these two words came out, Emperor Jing's pupils shrank slightly.
Changsun Chengsi, that’s his name! How long has it been since you heard someone shout this name?
"Queen mother..."
The Queen Mother's eyes fell on his face, "Did the Ai family ever tell you that those who achieve great things need to be able to endure loneliness and humiliation?"
"You've been... getting more and more impetuous recently and can't hold your breath."
"Queen Mother! How do you want me to calm down? The eldest grandson Wuji is not a Heavenly Eunuch! He has his own biological son!"
The Queen Mother didn't even move her eyelids, "You asked the Ai family about this last time."
"Yes, I went to ask my mother. Obviously, before that, you didn't know that such a thing would happen! That child, obviously, obviously...otherwise, why would the eldest brother, the late emperor, have to die! In the end,
No! How could it not be!"
"Emperor!" The Queen Mother raised her voice slightly, "The regent is not a eunuch, and he has his own son. It is not a bad thing for you! Don't be so arrogant!"
"How could it not be a bad thing? Mother, even if Ling Jing is able, his health will not last for a few years. But he has a biological son!"
"He won't." The Queen Mother said simply.
Emperor Jing looked at her sharply.
The Queen Mother once again spoke calmly and confidently, "He will not send the young prince of the Regent's Palace to the throne. If he cared about this position, please understand, Emperor, we would not be where we are today."
"Then why does he hold on to the power and status of the regent!"
"Don't you understand yet?" The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Jing with a deep look, "A child like him will never completely trust anyone. It is impossible for him to completely hand over the power of life and death. Because a powerful position can not only protect himself
Even with my own life, I can still protect what I want to protect.”
"He may not be greedy for power, but he needs power. He is covered in blood, how could he cut off his wings and expose them to the sky?"
He sighed again, "However, it is certain that he has no intention of competing with you for this position. From now on, you can just be the emperor."
What Ling Jing said about the regent today, although it was too high-sounding and nice.
But one thing is true.
Whatever the original intention, the regent was indeed of great importance to the court.
And as long as he is here, it is impossible for Da Jing to fall into any crisis.
Not knowing what the Queen Mother was thinking, Emperor Jing looked at her in disbelief, "Mother, what does it mean to be the emperor? I am the king of a country, do you want me to live in his shadow all my life?"
"Emperor, has he ever restricted any of your imperial power? If it weren't for the variable Ling Jing, and if it weren't for the people under his control who were still working for Da Jing, he would have almost disappeared in the past few years. It's because you are too unstable.
It’s because of living...that I’ve been humiliated frequently recently..."
Emperor Jing looked at her and laughed, "Does the Queen Mother mean this by me?"
The title changed from Queen Mother to Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked at him and finally looked away.
"Emperor, you must remember that the Ai family and you have always been both prosperous and devastated."
"Not necessarily, Queen Mother. If you are kind to the Nine Emperor Brothers, even if he can't tolerate me, he may not be able to tolerate you, Queen Mother."
The corners of the Queen Mother's lips trembled slightly.
Emperor Jing took a step closer, "Mother, do you know that the child today is mine!"
