Return of the Swallow

The Empress Dowager's face was ashen when Lijun Wang said it, and she was so frightened that she could hardly sit still, and she was completely paralyzed by the support of the pillow to prevent herself from falling down.

She is indeed afraid of death.

King Li Jun and Marquis Qingyang came into the palace today, as if they had changed suddenly, and they no longer treated her as respectfully as they used to. King Lijun did this, but the queen mother was not so sad when she was angry. She only blamed herself for not knowing people clearly, and mistakenly regarded a thief with ulterior motives as a good person.

But Qing Yanghou is her own younger brother, at this juncture, his own younger brothers are not willing to help, the Queen Mother really can't bear it.

Tears fell down, and the queen mother clutched her chest and choked up with grief, like a child who couldn't find her way home because of her grievances.

"How could you make trouble like this, how can you treat Aijia like this! Treat the emperor like this! He is not mean to you. After such a big incident, you are all relatives, but you are not willing to help. Not only did you not help, but you even killed him ! What good does it do you if he dies! Are you worthy of your ancestors by doing this!"

Hearing the empress dowager's heart-piercing cries, Li Junwang couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems that the Holy Admiral protects you so well. You have such an idea." Li Junwang took a few steps closer, leaned closer, his eyes were gentle: "What caused you to have such a misunderstanding, Do you feel that as long as you are a relative, you can tell me what to do?

"You put me in this position, saying that you want me to supervise the country, but you only want me to be gentle and easy-going, and you can order me at will without saying no, right?

"However, I was forced to stand in this position, and many of the servants below called me the regent. When the sage came back, with his temperament, could he let me go easily? Even the sage Pang Zhixi, who had made great contributions, would not agree. Let it go, it is still impossible for him to shake his throne. I, who has been discussed as the regent, what good end can I have?

"So, everything I do now is actually the same as you, it's all for self-protection."

"You, you think too much. Your Majesty is not that kind of person, and he won't hurt you." The queen mother anxiously grabbed Li Junwang's sleeve with tears on her face, comforting and begging, "The Majesty is not like that." He and Pang Zhixi are not brothers, but you are different, you are his cousin."

"Why is it different? In order to stabilize his position, let alone his own cousin, he would arrest and kill anyone."

Li Junwang's smile became more and more gentle, like a seductive devil, his voice was full of comfort.

"Your Majesty, don't worry.

What I want to do is just to target the Holy Majesty, in order to save my life. It has nothing to do with you, a deep palace woman. As long as you just live in this palace, this king and Marquis Qingyang will respect and honor you as before, and your life will not change in the slightest. Is this bad? "

The queen mother looked at Li Junwang's face, and realized that it might be useless to say anything.

After all, it wasn't the flesh that fell from her body, and she had no blood relationship with her. Not only could she not count on it, but it was good that King Li didn't take his life directly.

The queen mother looked at Qingyanghou again: "Dayong, what about you? Do you want to treat me like this? I am your own sister. I have always treated you well, and I have tried my best to treat our Zhou family." , even you want to do the same, won't let your nephew go!"

Qingyang Hou spread his hands helplessly, and said with a playful smile: "Of course what my sister said is reasonable, but you should think about it for me anyway, you know the character of the son you gave birth to yourself best, if you let him come back and continue to sit When I get to this position, I don’t need to talk about anything else when I come up, I have to be punished for the crime of seizing the power of the Huben army, so how can I justify it?”

"No, no!" When the Queen Mother heard that Qing Yanghou was afraid of this, she rushed up and grabbed his hand, "He will not hurt you, you are his real uncle, I can assure you, He will never disobey my will! I will protect you!"

"Come on, sister. Don't deceive yourself and others." Qingyanghou supported the queen mother back to her seat, looking down at her condescendingly, "Just like Lijun Wang said, he can't even tolerate Pang Zhixi who followed him to fight the country. , let alone me."

"I will tell the emperor that I gave you the military power of the Huben Army, and you are not to blame!" The queen mother raised her head anxiously, her face was flushed, and the veins on her forehead burst out.

But Qing Yanghou said: "Can he believe it? Even if he believes it, he can't do anything to accuse me of anything. When the time comes, my head will be ripped off with a single stare. What should I do? At that time, will my sister die with me, or can she die in my place?"

The queen mother slumped back and slumped on the seat. The two people in front of her had already made up her mind, so she felt that it was useless to say what she said. She is a useless mother, she has no ability to rush out to save her son.

Now she can only pin her hopes on Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu. Since they were able to quietly send people to the palace without telling the people of Wucheng Bingmasi, they should also try their best to protect the life of the Holy Majesty, right?

The queen mother thought so, and suddenly thought of herself.

King Lijun and Marquis Qingyang clearly had a heart of disobedience and wanted to usurp power! She knew such a big secret, wouldn't she be silenced in the blink of an eye!

The queen mother widened her eyes in horror, and her whole body trembled violently again, wanting to run away in fright, but the two people in front of her couldn't let him run away, her face turned pale from fright, her whole body trembled like she was about to fall into the treetops in a strong wind of dead leaves.

Seeing the empress dowager's face suddenly changed, Qing Yanghou already understood what she was thinking, and said helplessly: "Sister, you don't have to be too scared. After all, we are also a family, as long as you are obedient and don't talk nonsense, The younger brother is not a tiger or a wolf, so how can he disregard your life? Besides, even if King Lijun ascends the throne in the future, and his biological mother is gone, you can still continue to be the queen mother."

The queen mother trembled even more, tears kept pouring out, and she looked at King Li in horror.

King Li Jun smiled, patted the Queen Mother on the shoulder, and said, "There is really no need to be afraid of the Queen Mother, and this king is not a man-eating demon. In the future, when he ascends to the throne, this king will be filial to you."

Having said that, King Li's attitude was too frivolous, and the queen mother was shocked and didn't know what to do.

Lijun Wang and Qingyang Hou set up a chair, sat opposite the queen mother, and chatted with him intimately. Although the two chatted happily and often laughed, the queen mother sat in her original position and fell into a panic. Tears, the more the two of them laughed, the harder her tears fell.

At the same time, out of the Ci'an Palace, Qin Yining and his party, who were walking slowly all the way on the way out of the palace, met Li Helan and his party who came with a palace servant in a menacing manner.
