Only seven days left to live? She goes crazy and kills

A lot of defenses were added outside Ci'an Palace.

Emperor Zhaoming stepped into Ci'an Palace three times a day, with a different mood every time.

From a distance, I heard the angry and anxious voice of the Queen Mother coming from the palace, like a trapped animal in a desperate situation: "Is there any new news from outside the palace? How is the Chu family? The Ai family is going to see the emperor! Did you hear that, Ai? If you want to see the emperor, you must see the emperor immediately!”

The last sentence was yelled hoarse. It was both a command and a helpless request, making people feel a sense of helpless despair.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace knelt on the ground, their faces all pale and frightened.

Emperor Zhaoming walked past the kneeling palace servants in the courtyard and walked into Ci'an Palace. He saw the Queen Mother in a phoenix robe pacing anxiously, her emotions almost out of control and without her usual graceful and elegant demeanor.

"Mother." Emperor Zhaoming called softly, his voice filled with guilt and self-blame, "It is the incompetence of my sons and ministers that makes my mother so worried."

The Queen Mother stiffened in her steps and slowly turned to look at him. The anxious and angry expression on her face solidified, and then she changed into a sarcastic sneer: "The Emperor finally dared to come? The Yi family thought that the Emperor wanted to imprison their mother. "

Emperor Zhaoming remained silent.

"You are indeed incompetent." The Queen Mother said coldly, "You dared to take action easily without full confidence, which caused things to develop to such an uncontrollable point. If Yan Donghuang really kills the Chu family, you will not be able to escape the blame."

Emperor Zhaoming's expression darkened: "Mother."

"Don't call me." The Queen Mother said in a cold voice, "You have only two choices now. One is to let the Ai family come out of the palace to talk to Yan Donghuang face to face, and the other is to collect the bodies of the Ai family."

Emperor Zhaoming's expression changed, and he quickly lowered his head and said softly: "Mother, please calm down. I am trying to think of a solution. The palace door is locked now. Even if my mother wants to go out, she can only wait until tomorrow morning. Please forgive me."

The Queen Mother said angrily: "The palace door is locked? Do you know how many things can happen in one night? Yan Donghuang's life is at stake, she has gone crazy! What's more, what is the situation now? The palace has changed! At such a critical moment, you actually dare to let it go The palace door is locked? What are you thinking about? Are you worried that Yan Donghuang will enter the palace and threaten your life? "

"Mother." Emperor Zhaoming clenched his hands and looked embarrassed, "I am your son, not an enemy. I am doing this not only for myself, but also for the throne of Yong Kingdom——"

"You don't have to say it so grandly." The Queen Mother frowned, not wanting to hear more explanations from him, "Is there any news from outside?"

Emperor Zhaoming shook his head: "I have people pay attention to the situation outside. Just now, the Imperial Forest Army came to report, saying that Yan Donghuang did not attack the Chu family again, but ordered them to be imprisoned in the dungeon of the Princess's Mansion. There should be no danger for the time being. , please be patient, Queen Mother.”

The Queen Mother walked to the phoenix couch and sat down, raising her hand to support her forehead: "Please make arrangements, your Majesty. The palace gate will be opened early tomorrow morning, and the Ai family will leave the palace."

Emperor Zhaoming froze, then sat down beside her.

Li De'an stepped forward tremblingly, served tea to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and then stood aside.

"You all get out." Emperor Zhaoming ordered.

Li De'an responded and sent all the palace people out.

"Your Majesty." The Queen Mother's voice was dull, and no emotion could be heard. "Are you ready to sacrifice the Chu family?"

"My son didn't think so."

"But you did this." The Queen Mother gently closed her eyes, "If the Chu family is gone, the Ai family will be gone as well. You can figure it out yourself."

"My mother is making things difficult for me." Emperor Zhaoming's face turned pale. "I have always been afraid of the soldiers and horses in Yan Donghuang's hands. Because of this, I can't wait to get rid of her. If I can control her behavior and Decision, why would you set up such a murderous situation? "

"Is this embarrassing for you?" The Queen Mother turned to look at him, her eyes as cold as ice, "You are the king of a country, and you don't have any ability at all. How can you be the emperor? Your uncle is acting according to your will. If something happens to you, you will Pushing him out to take the blame? Sheng Jing'an and Shen Yun poisoned Yan Donghuang in compliance with your will. In order to appease Yan Donghuang, you put all the blame on them. Were you ready to give up from the beginning? Che Baoshuai’s plan?”

Emperor Zhaoming said nothing, his attitude was already acquiescence.

"One of them is an important minister in the court, a relative of the emperor, and the other is from a duke's family. Aren't you afraid that the civil and military officials of the court will be coldhearted?"

If things go on like this, who will be loyal to him?

Who would want to be loyal to such an irresponsible, ruthless emperor?

"Does the Queen know now that she is accusing me?" Emperor Zhaoming couldn't help but retort, "When the concubine of the Shen family was asked to come forward, didn't the Queen have any objection? Why is it that whenever something goes wrong, it is all about the son's incompetence? The Queen is right, the son is There is no responsibility, but the son is born from the mother, and the son’s failure to take responsibility is also passed down from the mother, not the father!”

"Presumptuous." The Queen Mother was so angry that her eyes darkened, and she raised her finger and pointed at him, "You... you, you... you actually accuse me like this? The Ai family has been planning for you, and this is how you repay me? I..."

She stood up suddenly and bumped against the pillar: "I might as well hit him to death and follow the late Emperor!"

"Mother!" Emperor Zhaoming's face changed with shock, and he stepped forward and hugged her tightly, "Mother, please calm down."

The Queen Mother broke down and cried: "Let the Ai family die. The Ai family will go to the underworld to plead guilty to the late emperor."

"It's your fault, my fault!" Emperor Zhaoming roared, "I'm wrong, okay?"

After hearing his confession, the Queen Mother slowly calmed down from her intense emotions. She straightened her robes and hair, and sat down on the phoenix couch again.

When she was the Concubine De, she used to cry and make a scene, especially in front of her son. However, she would inevitably dislike the late emperor if she made a scene for too long, so she placed all her feelings on her son.

She always thought that they were one.

Her status was high, so her son would be powerful. When her son sat on the throne, she would enjoy the glory and the Chu family would continue to be prominent.

But she didn't realize until now that there was no eternal "one mother and son".

No matter who he was, once he became the emperor, he would be the emperor first. No matter whether he was just being dignified and concerned about the country or caring about his own throne and power, he would put the status of the emperor first.

Whoever threatened his throne was his enemy.

Yan Donghuang was his sister, and she threatened his throne, so he wanted to kill her.

The Chu family and the Sheng family were swords and chess pieces in his hands. After being used, if they had other uses, he would keep them. When he had to abandon them, he would still abandon them without mercy.

If one day in the future, she, his mother, threatens his throne, will he get rid of her without hesitation?

The Queen Mother had this thought in her mind, and suddenly felt cold all over.

"As soon as the palace gate opens, I will leave the palace." She said in a calm but unyielding tone, "If the emperor does not let me leave the palace, I will die in front of you and make you a laughing stock in the world."
