Chapter 373 Zhao Shun pleads guilty and the Queen Mother angrily reprimands

Zhao Su just walked to the palace gate and happened to meet Zhao Shun.

"I have met His Highness Sixth Prince."

"Brother Shun Wang, why are you here? My mother is in a very bad mood right now. I'm afraid she won't see you."

Seeing his limping appearance, Zhao Shun probably guessed what happened.

"The Queen Mother is my biological aunt. I want to make it clear to her face to face if I have anything to say."

Zhao Su sighed, "Brother Shun Wang, you and I are both cousins. I know it is actually very difficult for you to make this decision. You are thinking about the world. I can understand it, but the queen mother..."

"It doesn't matter. One day, my aunt will understand me. Your Highness is feeling unwell, so you should go back and rest early."

"All right……"

After Zhao Su left, Zhao Shun walked to the front of the palace, knelt down without letting the servants pass the news, and said loudly: "My minister Zhao Shun, please see the Queen Mother."

Inside the room, the Queen Mother heard Zhao Shun's voice and immediately became furious.

"How dare this fellow attack the palace gate of the Ai family! Kick him out!"

Mother Meng advised: "Queen Mother, this regent is your nephew after all, the nephew of the late emperor. Now that he has come to ask for an audience, he must have something to say. Why doesn't the queen mother listen? He will still be the regent in the future, and you and

If he goes further and further, doesn't it mean that His Highness the Fifth Prince and Concubine Ning are getting an advantage?"

"The Ai family does not have such a nephew, and the late emperor did not have such a nephew! He has been deceiving the Ai family, completely ignoring the family ties. Why does the Ai family need such a nephew?" said the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, no matter what, you have to take into account the situation of His Highness Sixth Prince, so please invite him in." Mother Meng continued to persuade.

The Queen Mother nodded, "Okay, the Ai family would like to hear what he has to say and let him in."

Zhao Shun entered the door and saw the mess all over the floor. The Queen Mother was leaning on the couch with no blood on her face.

He knelt down and said: "The Queen Mother, my minister Zhao Shun has come to apologize to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother sneered, "The regent elected a new emperor for the country and put down the rebellion. What crime is he guilty of?"

"Queen Mother, I deceived you and came here to receive my punishment." Zhao Shun said.

"Zhao Linchuan, my aunt from the Ai family has never owed you anything, right?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said: "Since your mother and concubine passed away, the Ai family was worried that you would not have a good life in Prince Heng's Mansion, so they kept you close.

Because of this matter, the Empress Dowager often embarrassed the Ai family. Don’t you know how much pressure the Ai family was under at that time? When you were a child, you got into trouble in Da Nei. There was no time when the Ai family did not help you.

Carrying it? Is this how you repay the Ai family?"

"aunt……"

"Don't call the Ai family Auntie. The Ai family doesn't have a promising nephew like you. Okay, that's great. The Ai family has loved you for so many years, but in the end you lied to the Ai family like this...Zhao Linchuan, you are really a wolf-hearted person!"

The Queen Mother said angrily.

"What the Queen Mother teaches is that Linchuan knows the crime." Zhao Shun said.

"What's the use of knowing your guilt? Why? How is your younger brother inferior to Zhao Bai? Why should Zhao Bai be the emperor? How is this aunt of the Ai family inferior to Concubine Ning? Why do you do this! Why!"

The Queen Mother was a little excited. Zhao Shun took a deep breath and waited until she calmed down a little before speaking again.

"Queen Mother, I am thinking of the world. Your Highness is unwilling to inherit the throne. Neither the court officials nor the world can force you to do so," Zhao Shun said.

"You really found a good reason. In this case, the Ai family can't blame you. Prince Regent, please go back." The Queen Mother said.

"I deceived the Queen Mother and deserved to be punished." Zhao Shun said.

The Queen Mother slowly stood up, walked to Zhao Shun, sneered again, and said: "The Regent has deceived the world, how can the Ai family be punished? Doesn't that make the world a sinner?"

"But Linchuan is not only the regent of the people of the world, but also the nephew of the Queen Mother." Zhao Shun said again.

"That's all, Prince Regent, you can take care of yourself. The Ai family is tired, so you can go."

Zhao Shun raised his head and glanced at the Queen Mother, then stood up helplessly and left the Zening Hall.

After leaving the palace gate, Murong Duan saw him like this and knew that the trip was not going well.

"Murong Duan, how is things going at Tao Guan'er's side?" Zhao Shun asked.

"Go back to your lord, Tao Guan'er and the others found the elixir that Master Zhongxing received on the dark market, and they already have a clue." Murong Duan replied.

"Where are Lu Kai and Ding Lang?" Zhao Shun asked.

"Brother Kai and Ding Lang have taken a fast boat to Luoping City and are expected to arrive tomorrow morning. My subordinates also sent Gyrfalcons to deliver your souvenir, but we have not yet received a response from Taoist Priest Xiuyuan." Murong Duan said.

"Send it off again, and try to get my cousin to come to Beijing before Brother Kai and Ding Lang arrive in Luoping."

"Yes, Your Majesty, do you want to return to Qinxian Hall now?"

"No, I'm going to see the imperial grandmother."

After returning from the festival, the Empress Dowager has been feeling unwell. Her back pain has become more severe and she often coughs at night.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager was resting in the palace. When she heard that Zhao Shun was coming, she quickly invited him in.

"My grandson pays homage to the imperial grandmother." Zhao Shun saluted.

"Get up. I heard that you just went to Zening Palace? Has the Queen Mother's anger subsided?" asked the Queen Mother.

Zhao Shun shook his head, and the Empress Dowager added: "Now that the Empress Dowager hates you in her heart, you'd better stop hanging around in front of her and let her think about it by herself."

"But, the Queen Mother is her grandson's biological aunt after all. My grandson deceived her, and I feel really guilty." Zhao Shun said.

"This matter cannot be rushed. By the way, there will be a banquet tomorrow, and the Queen Mother may not be able to handle it. If Sisi is well, it is better to let her handle it." said the Queen Mother.

"Going back to the Imperial Grandmother, Sisi's mother is seriously ill and is bedridden. She is in critical condition. I'm afraid Sisi won't have time to prepare for Ouchi's banquet." Zhao Shun said.

The Empress Dowager put down her teacup, "Then, only Concubine Ning is qualified. But if this is the case, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will be even more dissatisfied."

"Royal Grandmother, in my grandson's opinion, it's better to invite my aunt to come. She is the eldest princess. She returns to the palace to host the banquet, and no one dares to say anything." Zhao Shun said.

The Empress Dowager nodded, took the soup from her grandma, put the soup into her mouth, then wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said: "This is also a good idea. Let the eldest princess take care of it at this time.

It’s also a compromise.”

"Grandma Huang, how are you doing?" Zhao Shun asked.

"It's okay, but even as you get older, it's common for you to suffer from three disasters and six illnesses." said the Empress Dowager.

"My grandson knows that you must have been overworked, which caused old traces. I was thinking about you, so I asked my grandson to bring some supplements and good plasters. You can use them first, and wait until Master Xiuyuan comes to Beijing.

, grandson, let him take a good look at you." Zhao Shun said.

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly, "Taoist Master Xiuyuan, is this Jiang Zhenian?"

"Yes, he is my grandson's cousin." Zhao Shun said.
