No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top

"They were all taken away. Fortunately, the bodhi tree was in Yangyang's hands and was not lost!"

"Hmm!" The Queen Mother thought for a moment, "You can go back now! I will find a way for Xue Qingqing."

Just as the Left Prime Minister left Fuyuan Palace, the Second Princess Yuwen Yuehua came in with a dull look on her face.

Seeing the figure of Xue Zuoxiang leaving, Yuwen Yuehua raised her hand to Ji Ming beside her and said, "Go check what Lord Xue talked about with the Queen Mother just now?"

Ji Ming bent his waist and nodded slightly. The empress dowager had already placed their people around her before he entered the palace, so every move in Fuyuan Palace was almost under the control of her, Yu Wen Yuehua.

It was just this kind of control. After Ji Ming came to Yu Wen Yuehua's side, it all depended on Ji Ming's operation.

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Ji Ming responded with a secretive expression, and then followed Yu Wen Yuehua into the hall.

"My queen mother has been feeling unwell these days. Why don't you let your daughter come to see you every day!" Before Yu Wen Yuehua sat down, a sharp voice echoed in the hall.

My concern was fake. The reason why I arrived today was such a coincidence was that someone outside the imperial city came to report that the Left Prime Minister had an audience with the Queen Mother.

Yu Wen Yuehua has always been extremely concerned about matters concerning the Xue family.

Seeing that the queen mother was sitting still without saying anything, she just pointed to the seat next to her and said, "Sit down!"

Yu Wen Yuehua could see what the Queen Mother was thinking, and she also knew that ever since her sister, the eldest princess, passed away, the Queen Mother had always been resentful towards her, and no matter how much she did, it would be of no use.

Later, she realized that her sister's position in her mother's heart was irreplaceable.

For so many years, she has been living in the shadow of the eldest princess. The world only knows that there is a Yuwen Yueqing who fights for the country and is not afraid of life and death. They have never seen her, Yuwen Yuehua, and even her mother treats her as nothing.

She understood that instead of trying to please others all the time, it would be better for her to be the noblest person.

"Mother, I just saw Master Xue coming to Fuyuan Palace."

Then he looked at the Queen Mother, who was still sitting upright and looking at Yu Wen Yue Hua calmly, as if she were air. Yu Wen Yue Hua chuckled twice, having had enough of such treatment, and was too lazy to care about it, so she pretended to talk to herself.

"This Lord Xue has always been neutral. I don't know why he suddenly came to visit my mother today. It's really strange!"

The Queen Mother looked at Yuwen Yuehua with a sharp gaze. She was in Shenduo, wondering whether she should say what was on her lips.

Before she spoke, she signaled with her eyes to the eunuchs closest to her to leave, leaving her and Yu Wen Yuehua alone in the hall.

In the end, she couldn't help but say those words with mixed feelings, "You don't have to beat around the bush. I've said before that as long as you keep your duty, you'll still be my daughter."

When Yuwen Yuehua heard this, she laughed even more wildly, and the past came back to her mind vividly.

Because this was not the first time she heard her say this. The last time was on the night when the eldest princess was given poisoned wine.

After laughing, Yuwen Yuehua looked at the Queen Mother with a cold brow, speaking bluntly as if she were looking at an enemy.

"Duty? Haha! Mother really loves her daughter. She always does everything according to her heart to my sister, and always tells me to do my duty!"

"Snapped!"

After saying the last sentence, Yu Wen Yuehua picked up the cup beside her and threw it to the ground with a wave of her sleeve, smashing it to pieces. She stood up from her seat angrily, her clenched hands so tightly that her fingernails were embedded in her flesh.

Her grievance and sorrow completely erupted at this moment, so her originally angry expression suddenly turned into ecstasy. She lifted the hem of her skirt and hurriedly moved closer to the Queen Mother's eyes, her mouth twitching.

"She's dead. My sister was poisoned by the wine you gave her. Has mother forgotten?"

The moment their eyes met, Yu Wen Yuehua's madness was fully reflected in the empress dowager's eyes, making her feel infinite sadness and heartache.

Over the years, she regretted every day. She regretted giving the cup of poisoned wine to her eldest daughter, and regretted concealing the truth about her second daughter who actually lied about military intelligence.

She was wrong, very wrong. She was just an ordinary mother who was confused for a moment.

Seeing her eldest daughter trapped in the conspiracy between Rong Guo and her second daughter, in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, to cover up the sorrow of fratricide, and not wanting both daughters to suffer endlessly, she chose to sacrifice Yuwen Yueqing.

Thinking of all this, and looking back at Yuwen Yuehua's deep wolf eyes, the Queen Mother shook her head helplessly, raised her hand and pulled off the golden phoenix hairpin that she had given to Yuwen Yuehua.

Yu Wen Yuehua's beautiful hair, like clouds and curtains, suddenly fell down, and her heart, which still had a trace of worry in it, also fell to the bottom of the sea.

There was a hint of glitter in her desperate eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let it leak out. She went from staring straight ahead to being a little dazed and then to losing all light in just a moment.

The Queen Mother held the hairpin in her hand, and she had never felt it so cold before. "Xuan Yi, why can't you just listen to your mother? What on earth are you..."

Yuwen Yuehua made up her mind, letting her hair fly, and raised her head indifferently, no longer looking at the Queen Mother.

"Mother, after this, we don't have to play the mother-daughter drama anymore!"

After saying this, she turned around quickly and stepped on the prickly pieces of teacup, as if to remind herself to always remember the blame and shame of today, the shame of having disheveled hair.

"Xuan Yi!"

"Xuan Yi! Stop right there!"

The Queen Mother sat on her throne and repeatedly shouted behind her, "I am doing this for your own good. Do you know how disappointed your Majesty would be if he knew what you did? Stop it! You are only making trouble for yourself!"

Yu Wen Yue Hua did not look back, but said sharply, "It was never me who got caught in my own trap, but you!"

After leaving the palace, Ji Minghou heard some noises at the door, but he was still startled when he saw the Second Princess with disheveled hair.

After all, she is the only sister of the current emperor and the only daughter of the queen mother. It is impossible for anyone else to be in such an embarrassing state.

What is going on today?

Ji Ming was thinking carefully while he reached out his hand for the Second Princess to support him. "Your Highness, let's go back and let me comb your hair for you!"

"How dare you!" Yuwen Yuehua's armor scratched Ji Ming's face, leaving a bright red mark.

"Damn slave!"

Seeing the blood on the armor in his hand, and then looking at Ji Ming who was kneeling on the ground in fear, "A slave is a slave, you are not worthy!"

"How dare you laugh at me!" Yuwen Yuehua bent down, pinched Ji Ming's jaw, and carefully looked at the masterpiece that had just been left on his face.

Although Ji Ming had only been in the palace for a short time, he was a smart person and was the one who was most favored by the second princess.

But he didn't expect that Tang Yuwei had reminded him before that the second princess was a very secretive person and asked him to be careful with his words and actions.

He had climbed up the ladder too fast these days and had long forgotten Tang Yuwei's reminder. Thinking about it now, he felt a chill down his spine when Yuwen Yuehua looked at him. "I dare not! I dare not!"
