The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Queen Mother Wang waited until Xu Yao finished asking questions before she calmly said, "That's the person left behind by the late emperor."

She smiled sarcastically, "Before he died, he dug a hole for me. He was afraid that I would harm his son and that his relatives would interfere in politics. Jia Ping has some abilities and methods, but unfortunately he is narrow-minded and obsessed with power and profit. Even the emperor he taught has a bit of pettiness."

Queen Mother Wang seemed to have some complaints about Master Jia, but Xu Yao could see that no matter whether she was happy or not, she couldn't touch this person anyway.

The late emperor was probably afraid that after his death, the Queen Mother would rule the country from behind the scenes and the imperial relatives would be in power, so he used this trick to check and balance the Queen Mother.

Over the years, the mother and son wanted to be close but couldn't, and they wanted to resent each other but couldn't bear to do so. Isn't this a torture?

Xu Yao asked her curiously, "Is power more important to you than family affection?"

Except for a very few mothers who express disgust towards their children, most mothers in the world feel love and joy for the children they give birth to.

As a mother, you can't stop sacrificing for your children, hoping that your children will become better and more outstanding.

There was a flash of sarcasm in the Queen Mother's eyes. Xu Yao didn't see it, but Pei Shuo did.

Xu Yao had truly never seen a mother who would fight her son to the death for power.

So I don’t understand why?

Isn't this her only relative?

The Queen Mother smiled strangely after hearing what Xu Yao said: "When I was in this position, many things were beyond my control. I couldn't do whatever I wanted. Do whatever I wanted? Humph... That's the ignorance of the lower class about rights. I used to think that I could do whatever I wanted with the supreme power, but when I really got to this position, I knew what it meant to be constrained. In the imperial family, there is no absolute freedom, let alone the right to be willful."

Then, she looked at Pei Shuo and Pei Yi and asked Xu Yao: "Who are you? What is your relationship with them?"

The Queen Mother could see that Xu Yao was the one in charge among the three.

Xu Yao smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? I live in Ximenqing, Changshan. Besides, my name is not important. What's important is that I was once a victim of Yuan Qingzong. After this disgusting killer organization fell into your hands, it trained countless killers and harmed the world. I was bought by Yuan Qingzong. You killed my sister and brother-in-law, and made me uncomfortable for the rest of my life. I came to seek revenge on Yuan Qingzong, but I never thought that the dignified Queen Mother Beichen was actually the biggest leader behind Yuan Qingzong."

When the Queen Mother heard her say this, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I see, but I have never seen you before, so who is your sister?"

"Zhang Yao."

"Zhang Yao?" Queen Mother Wang understood: "She is considered the most powerful assassin of Emperor Yuan Qingzong, but I did not kill her. I never ordered her to be eliminated."

Xu Yao asked Zhao Xi in his heart, do you believe this?

Zhao Xi hesitated slightly and said that he was not sure either.

Xu Yao smiled and said, "You say you don't know, but even if you don't know, as the mastermind behind the Yuan Qing Sect, you can't escape blame. I also think that you are also responsible for my sister's death."

The Queen Mother looked at her quietly for a while with a strange expression.

Pei Yi became nervous, fearing that Xu Yao would get angry and kill the Queen Mother.

However, Xu Yao assured them that he would not kill anyone now.

When Queen Mother Wang saw that she did not take action, she said to her, "Your sister's death was the result of internal strife within the Yuan Qingzong. She is dead now, and it is useless for you to dwell on it. If you want revenge, I can hand over the murderer who murdered your sister to you. There is really no need for you to fight against the entire Yuan Qingzong with your own strength.

Why don't I give you a chance, let me go back, stay by my side, and be my bodyguard."

Xu Yao looked at her quietly and felt that something was wrong.

Pei Shuo suddenly rushed out, and before Xu Yao could react, he suddenly held down the Queen Mother, fumbled around the back of her neck for a while, and pulled out a needle.

As the needle disappeared, the Queen Mother's face changed.

This face is still similar to that of the Queen Mother, but anyone with a discerning eye can tell that she is not the Queen Mother.

Pei Yi and Xu Yao were both stunned: "Aren't you the Queen Mother?"

Pei Yi looked at the needle with fear in his eyes, while Xu Yao was looking at the needle with deep confusion.

Is there such a disguise technique in the world?

How did Pei Shuo know?

"When I was young, I saw jugglers in the Great Zhou. They used this method to transform into other people. The owner of the troupe told me that this was a disguise technique from the Western Regions. But this method can't be used for a long time. After a long time, the muscles on the face of the person will become stiff and unable to make any expression, just like a dead person."

Is it facial paralysis?

Xu Yao looked at Pei Shuo: "How did you find out that something was wrong with her?"

Pei Shuo looked at the fake in front of him and dropped the needle in his hand. "The tone of her words just now."

"How to say?"

“Too pretentious.”

Xu Yao was stunned. What did this mean?

"Although you try very hard to act noble and calm, the real queen mother, who has been ruling the country from a young age and immersed in power for many years, how could she speak in such a tense tone?

Also, you kept caressing the back of your hair just now because the needle had been stuck in your hair for too long and you felt uncomfortable."

The counterfeit snorted coldly: "Just based on this?"

She doesn't believe it.

Pei Shuo said, "When my master mentioned Zhang Yao just now, you looked a little strange, even a little compassionate. How could the queen mother, who is so high and mighty, have compassion for the chess piece in her hand? The look in your eyes shows sympathy for her own kind."

Xu Yao couldn't help but admire that Pei Shuo could only remain calm, objective and smart when it had nothing to do with his relatives.

She also felt that there was something wrong with this empress dowager. How could she, who was so high and mighty, not be picky about food if she was not worthy of her pampered status as an empress dowager?

As long as a woman's life is better, she can't help but be picky. This is an uncontrollable problem.

As the queen mother, she didn't even ask me to prepare delicacies for her. This was unreasonable.

When Xu Yao thought about this, he felt bad again.

I caught a fake queen mother, so where did the real queen mother go?

Xu Yao questioned the fake, and the fake suddenly moved her mouth. Xu Yao was quick-witted and grabbed her neck and punched her in the abdomen, and the poison in the fake's mouth was spit out.

She wanted to think about it, but it was too late.

Xu Yao removed her jaw and carefully checked to see if there was any poison in her teeth before putting it back in her jaw.

The fake glared at Xu Yao fiercely: "I underestimated you."

"That's not the only thing you underestimate."

Xu Yao directly stuffed a bottle of truth water into her mouth. Before the stand-in could react, she was forced to swallow the bitter potion.

"What did you feed me?"

"Tell the truth, you'll confess everything in a moment."

Pei Yi watched Xu Yao take out something and wave it in front of the fake one.

The fake, who had been very ferocious at first, suddenly became dazed and stared at Xu Yao dully.

She answered whatever Xu Yao asked.
