Chapter 1152 State affairs and family affairs

The emperor strode in and saw the queen kneeling on the ground. He glared at Aunt Shang, stepped forward and knelt beside the queen, "Mother, the son is here."

"Don't call me mother," the queen mother who was sitting upright turned to the side, her chest heaving with anger, "do you think I am your mother?"

The emperor opened his mouth, turned his head to the kneeling queen and said, "Queen, take them down first."

The queen bowed slightly and tried to get up on the ground. The emperor stretched out his hand to help her, and Aunt Shang hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

Only a few confidants of the Queen Mother hesitated and did not move.

The emperor lifted his eyelids and glanced at them, and they immediately bowed their heads like an electric shock, and after taking a peek at the queen mother, they also bowed and retreated.

Only then did the emperor sit on the other side of the couch and sighed: "Empress mother, this is a state affair, not something that I can arbitrarily decide the world."

The empress dowager's face darkened, she raised her head and looked at the emperor seriously for a while, then sneered after a while: "Erlang, you really can't, or don't you want to?"

The emperor also looked at the queen mother, and said after a while: "Mother, you have also heard the accusations of Bai Shan and Zhou Man today. I always want to give an explanation to the people of the world, especially the people of Jiannan Road."

"But he's also your brother!"

"Yes, I didn't say he wasn't."

The queen mother covered her face, tears oozing from her fingertips, she choked and said, "In the end, it's up to you whether it's state affairs or family affairs..."

"The incident happened suddenly, and all the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, and even the suzerain of the family, do you think this son can still have the final say?" The emperor took her by the shoulder and whispered: "Mother, say this world belongs to my Li family. The world, but it's not just the world of my Li family."

The queen mother put down her hand, she closed her eyes fiercely, and after a while, she opened her eyes, her sleeves slipped to cover her clenched fists, she stared at the emperor and asked, "I don't ask for anything else, just one thing. , will you save your brother's life?"

The emperor lowered his head to meet her gaze.

The queen mother said sadly: "Erlang, I have given birth to four children, and now only you and the fifth are left. In the past, three of your brothers fought with your father outside, and only the fifth accompanied me..."

"Okay," the emperor held her hand and whispered, "I promise you, as long as Wulang stays in the capital, I can protect him."

The queen mother looked relieved and nodded as she grabbed his hand.

The emperor wiped her tears and asked unexpectedly, "Empress mother, have you heard about Wulang in Yizhou City?"

The queen mother froze, she looked at the emperor, her eyes slid across his face like a sharp blade, "Why, you doubt me?"

"My son doesn't dare. My son just thinks Wulang is too bold. Listening to Bai Shan's confession, he started preparing it more than ten years ago, when the father was still there."

The queen mother couldn't help but stabbed, "Not only are your father and emperor here, but your eldest brother and third brother are also still here."

The emperor's face paled.

The queen mother closed her eyes and waved her hand: "You also go to rest, I'll have someone send something to the fifth one in a while."

"Mother..."

"Why, I can't even bring food and clothing to my son?"

The emperor smiled bitterly, "Mother, my son will not treat Goro badly on this."

"Of course I know you won't treat me badly, but what you have is yours, and what I give is my mother's heart."

The emperor reluctantly responded, bowed and retreated.

After the emperor left for a long time, the queen mother propped her forehead against the couch and said solemnly, "Come out."

Princess Yizhou, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, came out from behind the screen, "Mother..."

The queen mother opened her eyes to look at her and said softly, "Come forward."

The Queen of Yizhou stepped forward, but only when she came close, the Queen Mother's expression changed, and she reached out and slapped her fiercely, knocking the Princess of Yizhou to the ground.

Princess Yizhou fell to the ground covering her face, because the queen mother did her best to slap her, and her ears were still buzzing at the moment.

The queen mother fell down on the couch, but she was still not relieved, and slammed the pillow behind her on top of her.

Princess Yizhou was frightened to death, knelt on the ground and shivered, "Mother, Queen Mother..."

The queen mother reached out and dragged her over, stared into her eyes and asked, "I ask you, is it true what those two children said in the palace?"

Princess Yizhou's face turned pale, and she shook her head repeatedly, "Mother, that's all a false accusation, it's a false accusation..."

The queen mother pushed her to the ground, lowered her voice and shouted: "you cry, you shout, no one knows how many emperors and queens there are in this palace, what are you shouting here today, they will know when you turn around ."

Princess Yizhou covered her mouth and didn't dare to cry out.

The queen mother sat on the ground from the couch, just face to face with the princess of Yizhou, she stared at her and asked, "Ying Shi, I will ask you again, is what the two children said true? Wulang is raising private soldiers over there in Yizhou. ?"

The princess of Yizhou burst into tears and shook her head. Seeing that the empress dowager's eyes were instantly sharp, she nodded again, she let go of her hands and whispered: "Mother, concubine, concubine really don't know, However, the lord is very short of money, he uses my dowry to do business, and from time to time he sends his concubine back to his mother's house to get money, I know that the lord has raised a lot of clients..."

The queen mother raised her hand in anger, and when she saw her shrinking, she put it down angrily, she stared at Ying Shi with disappointment: "Your grandson can run all over the place, but you still don't know what your husband is doing outside. ,you you……"

Compared to the queen, this daughter-in-law is far worse.

The Queen Mother's heart hurt so much that she could hardly breathe.

She covered her chest and didn't speak for a while. Princess Yizhou cried in fear: "Mother, mother, please save the prince, he must not have intentions."

The queen mother closed her eyes and asked, "Where are the three of them in Xin'an?"

Princess Yizhou wiped her tears and said, "Xin'an and Xinping have both been taken away by His Majesty's people, only Xinqing and Yunfeng are still by my side."

The Empress Dowager exhaled, "Just stay in the palace honestly, don't go anywhere, send Xinqing and Yunfeng to my palace, as long as you don't run around, I can keep you all."

Princess Yizhou nodded again and again, not being obedient.

The lights were turned off in several places in the palace, but there were always a few of them that were always brightly lit until a fish-white gleam appeared in the sky, and the lights slowly went out.

In the prison, Bai Shan and Man Bao finally wrapped the person on the ground into a big white dumpling before the second candle was about to burn out. Except for his head, his whole body was covered with medicine.

Xiang Chao, the only one who slept early tonight, woke up in total darkness. He froze for a moment before realizing that there was something on his head. He immediately stretched out his hand and took off the thing covering his head. When he looked up, he saw the two of them. Putting down the scissors, he was stretching his waist and rubbing the back of his neck drowsily, while on the ground was lying on the ground, except for his head, who knew the rest, and the rest were all white linen.

Xiang Zhao opened his mouth wide.
