A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

The Queen Mother said a lot of earnest words, but Emperor Qiyuan did not intend to give her face this time.

"Mother, even though I and the Seventh Brother are brothers, plotting to usurp the throne is an unforgivable capital crime, and I will not let him off this time. Also, please don't get involved in our brothers' affairs, to avoid making things difficult."

Seeing Emperor Qiyuan's tough attitude, the Queen Mother was a little flustered and asked anxiously, "Emperor, are you really going to be so heartless?"

Emperor Qiyuan smiled mockingly and said, "Mother, the Seventh Brother led his troops to rebel, forcing me, the emperor, to hide here and there like a rat in a gutter. Isn't that being unkind to my own brother?

I believe that the Queen Mother is not completely ignorant of this matter. Why didn't she persuade the Seventh Prince not to do such a rebellious thing in the first place? "

The Queen Mother felt a little guilty. She did know what King Xiaoyao was thinking, but she turned a blind eye to what he did.

When the late emperor appointed the crown prince, the empress dowager was biased towards Prince Xiaoyao. It was the late emperor who had his eyes on Emperor Qiyuan and insisted on appointing him as the crown prince. Later, Emperor Qiyuan naturally inherited the throne.

Both of them were the Queen Mother's sons. Although the Queen Mother felt regretful, she gladly accepted it.

At that time, King Xiaoyao had no intention of seizing the throne. After all, there was order of seniority, and it was natural for the eldest son to inherit the throne.

It was not until King Xiaoyao's beloved Dong Yuehe married Emperor Qiyuan that Dong Yuehe told King Xiaoyao that it was the emperor's will and she was forced to do so. King Xiaoyao then began to have a rebellious heart and began to think about seizing the throne.

Later, Dong Yuehe gave birth to the second prince. When King Xiaoyao learned that the child was his, he began to plan to kill the eldest prince, the current crown prince, so that his son could naturally become the crown prince and inherit the throne in the future.

However, King Xiaoyao failed several times in his attempts to attack the prince, and was banished to his fiefdom by Emperor Qiyuan, and was not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned.

In fact, when the late emperor was alive, the two brothers had a very good relationship. Because they were born from the same mother, they were considered to be brothers who loved each other very much.

So when King Xiaoyao harmed the prince, Emperor Qiyuan took into account the brotherly affection and did not kill King Xiaoyao, but drove him to his fiefdom.

Although King Xiaoyao has always been restless in his fiefdom and has been gradually increasing his strength, he has been slow to take action.

Until this time, King Xiaoyao made up his mind to lead his troops in rebellion, still because of Dong Yuehe and King Rui.

As their mother, the Queen Mother did not stop her younger son from attempting to usurp the throne. Only when the two brothers were at the point of a life-and-death fight did she stand up and plead for her younger son. How could Emperor Qiyuan be so merciful?

When the Queen Mother was questioned, she also heard the determination in Emperor Qiyuan's tone. She knew that her pressure as a mother would be useless this time, so she had to use her trump card.

"Emperor, if you insist on killing Xiao Qi, then kill my mother first! Otherwise, I will never let you go in and kill your own brother!"

Emperor Qiyuan was more disappointed with his mother than ever before! Before, the Queen Mother favored Prince Xiaoyao, but Emperor Qiyuan didn't care. After all, he already had the throne, so it didn't matter if his mother gave her younger son a little more love in other ways.

But now, Prince Xiaoyao is plotting to usurp the throne and has committed a heinous crime, but the Queen Mother has turned a blind eye and only favors Prince Xiaoyao and even threatens him with his life. Emperor Qiyuan feels even more heartbroken and aggrieved.

Of course, it is impossible for him to kill his mother, but he will not give up killing King Xiaoyao just because of the threat from the Queen Mother.

"Someone, come! The Queen Mother is not feeling well. Please take her back to her room to rest."

Emperor Qiyuan wanted to have the empress dowager taken away by force.

The guards stepped forward and were about to take the empress dowager away as requested by Emperor Qiyuan.

The Queen Mother was also surrounded by guards, but she knew that just a few of them would be no match for the enemy, so she simply did not let them step forward to stop her. Instead, she pulled out the hairpin on her head and pressed it against her neck.

“Emperor, as long as you spare Xiao Qi’s life, I promise that he will never have any improper thoughts in the future and will never dare to covet your throne again.

But if you insist on killing him today, your mother will die in front of you. Then everyone in the world will know that it was you, the emperor, who forced his mother to death. How can you rule the world with filial piety in the future?"

Emperor Qiyuan was being pressured by the Empress Dowager, and at this moment he no longer felt aggrieved, but more angry and resentful.

He was angry that the Queen Mother always favored Prince Xiaoyao and had no bottom line; he also resented that the Queen Mother did not consider him, her eldest son, at all and had no place for him in her heart.

But even so, as a son, he cannot ignore his mother's life or death. Just as the Queen Mother said, if the Queen Mother really died, he would be despised by the people of the world. How can he govern the world?

"Mother, what are you doing? Put the hairpin down quickly, be careful not to hurt yourself."

Zhao Yichen and Zhao Yifeng also frowned, feeling helpless about the Queen Mother's behavior.

The Queen Mother clearly saw the helpless look on Emperor Qiyuan's face, and heard that his attitude was softer than before. She felt that she had controlled Emperor Qiyuan. So she continued, "Emperor, I have said before, if you insist on killing your brother, you have to step over my body!"

Shen Qingqian and the others did not follow Zhao Yifeng and Han Qingshan. They had been hiding in the dark, secretly watching this farce.

Seeing how helpless Emperor Qiyuan was when facing the Queen Mother, Shen Qingqian decided to help him again. She whispered to Zhiqing and Zhizhu, "Zhiqing and Zhizhu, find a way to set fire to the room where King Xiaoyao is and force him out. Don't try to hide in there like a coward."

"Yes, girl."

Zhiqing Zhizhu left in response. After a while, a fire appeared in the room behind the empress dowager, and everyone smelled the smell of thick smoke.

"It's on fire! That room is on fire!"

I don't know who shouted first, but everyone looked towards the house. The Queen Mother also turned around subconsciously and saw thick smoke billowing from the roof.

Zhao Yichen winked at the guards around him, and the two guards took advantage of the empress dowager's unpreparedness, flashed to her, snatched the hairpin from her hand, and restrained her at the same time.

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

The Queen Mother was furious, her eyes full of anger.

Emperor Qiyuan was relieved to see the Queen Mother being restrained. He gave Zhao Yichen an appreciative look, then waved his hand and said, "Go in and capture King Xiaoyao."

However, just as the soldiers were about to rush into the house, King Xiaoyao came out by himself. But he did not come out alone, he took Mu Xinyue hostage.
