Tyrant Reborn

Because of thinking about my mother, I sat in the imperial study for a while, thinking about the situation after my mother knew about the incident, then sighed and got up and went back to the Panlong Hall to take a bath and change clothes, and decided to go to the mother to pay her respects before saying goodbye other.

In the common room of the Panlong Hall, Yuan Bao helped me change my clothes after taking a bath. He sent away the other eunuchs. God, the queen mother sent people to look for it several times, but Zhuo Wenjing dismissed me because I was not feeling well.He went to order someone to go to Fengyi Palace to inquire, but none of the people inside dared to speak.

I hummed and didn't speak.

After getting dressed, I went to the Fengyi Palace to greet my mother. When I went, the Fengyi Palace was quiet, and only Ruolan was standing outside the palace to serve her. I didn't say a word in my heart. Yes, I nodded for her to get up.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager just fell asleep." Ruolan got up and said respectfully in a low voice without waiting for me to ask.

After hearing this, I looked at the sky and felt a little puzzled, but I didn't open my mouth to say anything.Seeing my doubts, Ruolan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager caught a cold a few days ago."

I frowned when I heard this, and was about to ask something, when the queen mother's voice came from inside: "Is the emperor outside? Come in."

Hearing what my mother said, I couldn't help but paused, and then walked in.

When I went there, I saw the empress mother reclined on the chaise longue chair with an unsightly face, besides cigarettes curling up, there was no one serving her, her face was also very ugly, she really seemed to be sick.

I couldn't help but glanced at Ruolan who came in behind me.

Ruolan's face turned pale, without saying anything, she walked quickly to the side of the queen mother, and helped her rub her shoulders.

"Emperor, don't look at Ruolan anymore, it's not her fault anyway, it's Aijia who can't think about it, this disease has come, and I can't blame others." The queen mother looked at me with half-opened eyes and said calmly.

Hearing what she said, I understood that she was going to settle the score for me. I sighed in my heart, but walked over calmly and said with a smile: "What is the mother's knot? I don't know, I really deserve to be punished."

After listening to my words, the queen mother gave me a slanted look, snorted coldly, and her face sank...

I paused, then walked over to sit beside the queen mother, who slowly sat up straight, and Ruolan stood beside her with her head bowed to serve.

"Ruolan, the Ai family is talking to the emperor, there is no need for anyone to wait on you here, you go down." The queen mother took a sip of the tea from the sandalwood table and ordered lightly.

Ruolan saluted respectfully and walked out.

After she left, the queen mother and I were the only ones left in the huge palace. The queen mother sat there silently, and she didn't speak, so I leaned on the soft chair and didn't speak.

We were in such a stalemate with the empress, about a stick of incense, the empress moved her body and looked at me and said, "Emperor, I heard that you are going to kill Lu Zhong, the servant of the Ministry of War?"

Although I understood what she was going to say in my heart, I was still a little bored after listening to it, so I picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, suppressing the impatience in my heart, and said nonchalantly: "Yes, I don't know how the queen mother got the decree I made just now?"

"Don't worry about how I found out about this, the Ai family only wants to know what happened to Lu Zhong? You actually want to kill him?" The queen mother asked with a frown.

Hearing my mother's words, the boredom in my heart suddenly rose, but because it was inconvenient for her to attack, so I said indifferently: "My mother, I will not only kill Lu Zhong, but also Dong Rui." As far as asking, I want to kill both of them, why do you only ask Lu Zhong and not Dong Rui?

The queen mother's expression turned pale immediately and she said: "The Ai family knew that you were going to kill Dong Rui. The Dong Rui'ai family had heard from the grand master that they had no respect for elders and disregarded human life. They were very rascals. Naturally, an official like him should be killed, but Lu Zhong It's different from him, as far as the Ai family knows, he didn't commit any major crimes in Lu Zhong, so why did the emperor kill him?"

Hearing some reproaches from my mother, I felt a little angry in my heart, but thinking about her life in the past, and thinking that she is my mother, I endured it, looked at her and said in a low voice: "Mother, Dong Rui should be killed. Then why shouldn't Lu Zhong be killed? You said he didn't do anything serious, but I said that what you said was a big mistake. Just saying that you did it for him today, he deserves to die. How can a servant of the Ministry of War be involved? How many people can make the queen mother come to intercede for him, and there may be many people behind him... Queen mother, Erchen made this clear today, Dong Rui deserves to die, and Lu Zhong can't escape. A few days ago Going to the prison to see his relatives, I ordered people to remember what disrespectful words they said in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. I will not settle accounts with them now, but none of those people can live safely. I want to see, what is the world like? What belongs to me is still Lu Zhong's."

The queen mother's expression changed drastically when she heard this, she sat up straight and took my hand and said, "Emperor, what do you mean by that?"

"Empress Mother, I'm not a fool, I have eyes, and I know how to see." I looked at her and said, "You once said that this world belongs to I, I can do whatever I want, but others can't, I keep your teachings in mind. But that day when I was in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment, Dong Rui’s words and deeds under the eyes of everyone could bear the crime of being rude to the emperor. He is a minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and his official position was given by me. What did he do for me? Infamy... And Lu Zhong was the Minister of the Ministry of War, what did he do at that moment when he went to the Ministry of Punishment? I did not say that they formed a party to seek power and usurp the throne, and did not implicate their nine clans. It is already tolerant. Today He actually said that his mother would come to intercede, this matter really makes me very angry."

After talking about it, my mind became hot, and the scene of being teased by Dong Rui that day flooded into my mind again. Such a person, even if he died ten thousand times, it would not be a pity, I thought viciously.

"Emperor..." The queen mother frowned at me and said, "The Ai family knows that you cannot be deceived by others, but you did this unfairly. You killed Lu Zhong, but didn't you indulge the Zhuo family too much?"

Hearing the word Zhuojia, my heart moved and my mind became brighter. Looking at my mother, I smiled and said: "Mother, you said this because of Zhuo Wenjing, right?"

The queen mother looked at me and nodded, "Since the emperor said so, then the Ai family will just say it. Zhuo Wenjing's Ai family doesn't like it, and the Zhuo family's Ai family doesn't like it either. Maybe it's because of the dislike in my heart. What happened to Lu Zhong disturbed his heart. However, when Aijia thought of the emperor's love for the Zhuo family, he felt very unhappy. The emperor, the Xue family is a relative of the Ai family after all, and they are also loyal to the emperor. The world can learn from it. The Zhuo family, the Ai family can't be trusted, you put the Zhuo family on the head of the Xue family, this...does this also include a warning to the Ai family?"

Hearing this, I snorted coldly in my heart, relatives, really good relatives, if I don't hold the Zhuo family above their heads, their Xue family will trample me under their feet.

Even though I think so, I also know that this doesn't make sense with my mother. She doesn't like Zhuo Wenjing, and she will never like it in her whole life, and she won't change her mind because of me.She trusts the Xue family, the Xue family helped me when I ascended the throne, and there are wonderful people like Xue Ruyu in the palace to relieve her boredom, how can she not trust... Besides, I understand the mother's thoughts more or less, no matter how I do It's her son, and she doesn't want to lose her superior power, otherwise, how could she intervene in the affairs of the court...

I used to listen to her, so she could say anything, but now I don't stop her, I'm afraid I will have the word disobedience on my head.

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became colder, and I suddenly thought, if my mother was still there when I was destroyed, what would she have looked like to see what happened, would she regret it, would she be annoyed? ?Of course, these are all imaginations after all. I will never allow the destruction of the country to happen, even if it will offend the empress mother, and the world will say that I am not filial...

This thought flashed across me, and I sighed and said, "Queen Mother, since you said that, then today Erchen also explained what you said, Zhuo Wenjing, I admire him in my heart, and I will never abandon him in this life. The merits of the Zhuo family I see it in my heart, so naturally I won't let them do anything out of line, on the contrary, it is the Xue family, I would like to trouble my mother to remind them, if this kind of thing happens again in the future, don't blame me for being merciless. "

"Emperor, you..." The queen mother stood up in shock, looking at me with disbelief in her eyes: "Are you really going to turn against the Ai family for a Zhuo Wenjing as Xue Qing said? The Ai family would like to ask today , What method did Zhuo Wenjing use to seduce you to do this for him?"

After hearing what my mother said, I felt a little powerless, and said sadly in my heart: "My mother, you are not in good health, are you tired? I won't disturb your rest. I will leave."

"Emperor..." The queen mother patted the table angrily and said coldly: "Emperor, you really want to abandon the queen mother."

I looked at her helplessly and said: "Mother, you are my biological mother, how could I abandon you. But, you can't let me abandon Zhuo Wenjing just because you are my mother, that is absolutely impossible ...Also, Zhuo Wenjing is my queen, and has always been, if he makes any mistakes, no matter who it is, I will never forgive him lightly."

After hearing what I said, the queen mother was taken aback for a moment. I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable looking at me, so I turned and left.

After leaving Fengyi Palace, I ordered to go to Jiaotai Palace.

Sitting in the sedan chair, I felt annoyed for a while.To be honest, I respect and love my mother, and I never thought that I would fall out with her so easily...

Zhuo Wenjing, thinking of this name, her irritable heart gradually calmed down...

Suddenly want to see him... Zhuo Wenjing.
