Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

The Empress Dowager's face was filled with embarrassment, and the corners of her lips were trembling. She could not deny that what she said was true.

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Who is a good person and who is a bad person depends on one's own heart. The late emperor asked me to pay my respects to the Grand Empress Dowager. Whether Emperor Huijing did a good job as the emperor or not, whether the Grand Empress Dowager admits it or not, is now a thing of the past."

She also didn't want to say that the late emperor had missed them all his life, because the Empress Dowager and Prince Kang were relying on the little affection the late emperor had to dig out his heart and eat his flesh. What was the use of such affection?

Jiang Fenghua took out the tiger-head doll and placed it in front of the Empress Dowager, saying coldly, "I'll give it back to you."

The Empress Dowager's heart skipped a beat, and scenes of the two brothers when they were young appeared before her eyes. Could it be that I really owed him something that caused him to break off the relationship with me and after his death returned the tiger-head dolls that I had made for them?

Jiang Fenghua stood up and bowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager, "Granddaughter-in-law, I'm leaving."

Only when Jiang Fenghua reached the door did the Empress Dowager speak, "Does he really hate me so much?"

Jiang Fenghua turned around slowly and said, "Yes." Don't you know what your own son is like? How can you not hate him after you've severed your relationship?

After saying that, she went straight out of Qing'an Hall.

Xie Minmin asked repeatedly, "Grandmother, what's wrong with you?"

The Empress Dowager is eighty years old and she won’t live long. The late emperor still reserved a place for her in the imperial mausoleum in Hengyang. If they want to be reunited, they can go to the underworld and reunite as mother and son.

Jiang Fenghua knows how to handle an old lady like the Empress Dowager who refuses to admit that she is wrong, so let her find the answer herself!

Xie Shang invited her three times and four times but failed. The body of the late emperor remained in the palace for a month, but she did not show up. No wonder she did not see the Empress Dowager return to Beijing in her previous life. She was probably obsessed with going to the northwest to see her youngest son.

Without the emperor's decree, she could not go to the northwest. The late emperor even asked the Empress Dowager to stay in Hengyang Palace to prevent Prince Kang from rebelling.

The person is dead, there is no point in saying anything. The world now belongs to the new emperor. No wonder Xie Shang didn't interfere in her affairs. It turned out that he knew she would be turned away.

Jiang Fenghua thought: If she continued to talk with the Grand Empress Dowager, she might say that she would never enter the mausoleum prepared for her by Emperor Huijing until her death.

People are all mean-spirited. They will always seek the truth when it is too late to regret, and then regret it.

At the same time, Xie Shang was handling state affairs at the post station. Most of the officials accompanying him had already rushed back, so he stayed and waited for Jiang Fenghua to return to Shengjing together.

In fact, he had secretly gone to Hengyang Palace to pay a visit to the Empress Dowager before, but it seemed that the Empress Dowager really had only one son, Uncle Kang. He thought this was the real reason why his father and the Empress Dowager broke off the relationship.

My father was such a cold-blooded person, but he still cared about them until the end. It seems that my father is not a heartless person.

He didn't want to repair this relationship, so it depended on Ruan Ruan to find a way to fulfill his father's last wish.

Ruan Ruan had been gone for a while. When the memorials in his hands were almost dealt with, he went to Hengyang Palace for a walk. He was afraid that the Empress Dowager would not see them. After all, she had not shown up even after his father had been buried.

Ruan Ruan's wish to fulfill her father's last wish may not be fulfilled.

At this time, Zhu Yiyi finally found an opportunity to get close to Xie Shang and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

At this time, Zhu Yiyi had taken off her funeral clothes and changed back into her original dress. She was wearing a snow-white long dress, light and flowing like a fairy walking out of a painting.

Xie Shang glanced at her, and she asked again, "Is your majesty going to set off to return to Shengjing?"

"Did Censor Zhu not inform Miss Zhu? I am still waiting for the Queen to return to the capital with her." Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "Miss Zhu didn't go back with Censor Zhu?"

"My father said that it's rare for me to come out, and he wanted me and Miss Zhen to return to the capital together." Zhu Yiyi found an excuse.

Xie Shang said, "Then let Miss Zhu and Lady Zhu go together."

Zhu Yiyi said quickly, "The Queen didn't come back so soon after going to Hengyang Palace. Your Majesty has been tired for many days. You can go out for a walk and experience the customs and habits of Hengyang. I heard that this place is very rich and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is more lively than Shengjing City!"

Before Xie Shang could speak, Zhu Zhenzhen and Zhang Jingjing came over and bowed, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"No need to be polite." Xie Shang said in a deep voice.

This was the first time Zhu Zhenzhen had seen Zhu Yiyi after so many days. She asked in confusion, "Why is big sister here?" She had known for a long time that Zhu Yiyi was in the team, but because of the funeral of the late emperor, Zhu Yiyi had been keeping it a secret.

Now that they met, she really wanted to ask her if she still had the Hehuan Powder on her body, but in the end she held back.

Zhu Yiyi bowed to Zhu Zhenzhen obediently and said, "Greetings to the young master."

Zhu Zhenzhen just felt disgusted, but still took her hand and said, "We are sisters, no need to be polite. His Majesty has already said that all etiquette should be kept simple outside the palace."

"My father asked me to stay and go back to the capital with the young lady." Zhu Yiyi said, "In fact, I have seen the young lady a long time ago, but my father said that we sisters have different statuses now, so he asked me not to get close to the young lady. I followed my father out of the palace and was asked by my mother to take care of him along the way. Now, we are about to return to the capital, and I want to ask Your Majesty if he wants to go to Hengyang City for a stroll."

In fact, she knew that her father had made two preparations. Zhu Zhenzhen's ability to follow the emperor out of the palace meant that she had a chance to regain his favor. If Zhu Zhenzhen was favored by the emperor again and became pregnant directly, there would be no place for her, Zhu Yiyi, so she had to speed up.

Zhu Zhenzhen smiled and said, "I didn't see my elder sister. Did she go out shopping a long time ago? Mother asked you to take care of father, but my elder sister went out to play by herself. She is really free!"

"Aren't I here to invite Your Majesty? Hengyang is such a great place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. The Holy Ancestor of our Great Zhou was from Hengyang, right? In this sense, Your Majesty can be said to have returned to his hometown! As the saying goes, when in Rome, one feels at home. Your Majesty should also go and feel the warmth of your hometown..." Zhu Yiyi looked at Xie Shang and asked, as if she was very familiar with him.

Before he could speak, Zhang Jingjing suddenly said, "When the Holy Ancestor conquered the world, he only built a palace in Hengyang. The Xie family is not from Hengyang. Shengjing was the capital of the previous dynasty. After the previous dynasty was destroyed, the Xie family also regarded Shengjing Imperial City as the capital. After renovating it, they also moved to Shengjing Imperial City. Hengyang Palace is just a temporary residence."

Xie Shang stared at Zhang Jingjing and raised the corners of his lips to smile slightly, "Zhang Zhaoxun is right, Hengyang is not the ancestral home of the Xie family." The whole world belongs to the Xie family.

Zhu Yiyi's eyes flashed with embarrassment, "It turns out that I am ignorant."

"It doesn't matter. Most people don't know." Xie Shang added, "I see that you are all quite interested in Hengyang. Now that you have come to such a precious place, change your clothes and go out for a walk!"
