Step on a branch

Chapter 265

The atmosphere was even more stalemate than before.

The empress dowager pinched her fingertips and said nothing for a long time.

If you don't find out your mistakes, how can you correct them, and how can you not make them again?

As a young boy who started writing, he traced the post in red, knowing that if he made a mistake, he would be circled by the gentleman. The emperor is so grown up that he can't listen to corrections.

It was obviously a reflection, a search for loopholes, but in the eyes of the emperor, it became accusations and settling old scores.

What an irony!

"Correction after a dead sheep," said the Empress Dowager.

The emperor said: "I thought, what should be settled now is how to catch the sheep back."

The Empress Dowager sneered.

Grasp?
Long gone!

Since Pingyang and Mrs. Hou were rebellious, they must have made such preparations in order to leave the capital smoothly.

There is no doubt about this, even the Empress Dowager knows it well.

That side prepares and evacuates quickly when the opportunity is right; this side takes precautions, and once it finds a change or catches a handle that can be used, it will take action immediately.

This is an unspoken game.

In the Empress Dowager's view, to succeed, Madam Hou and the others had to be caught off guard.

There is no turning back when the bow is opened, this move must be ruthless, and it is necessary to prevent the possibility of missing, and deploy other back moves.

now what……

The empress dowager looked at the emperor.

The emperor was so powerful that he caught her by surprise.

The longbow was drawn, the strings sang amazingly, and the phoenix soared into the sky, and they all flew away.

Although it seemed that the emperor made the move first, Pingyang and Mrs. Hou fell into a passive position, but they had made various preparations early on, so how could they be in a mess?
After Mrs. Hou left the palace, although the time was tight, as long as there was no delay, it was enough to go out before the city gate was closed.

And what about their mother and son?

The emperor was concerned about the fire, and he didn't tell her a few words of truth until not long ago.

She was kept in the dark, she only knew one thing and not the other, at this moment she suddenly realized that it was beyond her reach.

After going through it again from beginning to end, the Empress Dowager rubbed her forehead.

How can you be so stupid!
Do everything!
If I had confessed to her earlier and let her handle these matters, why would it be like this!
If it were her, not to mention that everyone would be safe, at least, Mrs. Hou, the girl from the Qin family, and Pingyang, these three would not be able to escape from the capital.

With people in your hands, when you are at a disadvantage, there will be a chance to come back.

It's a pity that the emperor didn't listen to her.

Thinking of this, the empress dowager felt a pain in her heart.

However, the emperor should listen less to the bewitching ways of the monster, and would rather listen to her mother's words...

Before, she cared too much about the emperor's feelings, so she refrained from intervening, who would have made such a big hole!

"Early tomorrow morning, send people to the three mansions and spread the news that they have gone to Loukong, and then send people to Anguo Gong's mansion to find out when the girl of the Qin family left and where Xu Liu went," the empress dowager sorted out. Thinking about it, he explained, "Let the yamen issue the documents for the investigation and send them to the state capitals, and hurry to Feimen Pass to detain Qin Yin, father and son, and Lin Fan."

The emperor was angry.

The Queen Mother's tone was not a discussion, but a finalization, and she was directing him to do things.

This kind of puppet-like feeling is what angers the emperor the most.

"Mother..."

How could the empress dowager not understand him, and directly interrupted the emperor's words: "Is what Aijia said wrong?"

Such an aggressive attitude made the emperor subconsciously criticize: "Tomorrow morning? Is it too late?"

"Otherwise?" The Empress Dowager said coldly, "How will the emperor explain to the ministers that everyone's house is closed in the middle of the night, and the king of a country does not sleep in the middle of the night, so people go to beat on the door. When I opened it, I climbed over the wall, and then found no one. Why? For no reason, why?"

The emperor was completely offended by these questions: "Why? Because they want to rebel, because I know they want to rebel!"

"What is the reason that the military general who has just made great achievements suddenly rebelled?" The empress dowager stood up and looked directly at the emperor, "Xiliang is not peaceful, and Nanshu has just retreated, not died. Why are they rebelling at this time? ?”

The emperor's neck was tense, and his veins were bulging.

The answer is in his heart, but the answer cannot be made public.

"My emperor was clearly given by my father," the emperor said with a trembling voice, "I have been emperor for more than twenty years, and I have stabilized the country of the Great Zhou. In the end, I seem to have no face to face others! "

The empress dowager put her hands on the emperor's shoulders: "You are justified, why did you mess up your own steps? Well done to the emperor, you have come so far..."

The emperor froze.

He could almost imagine what the Empress Dowager would say.

After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, what she Xu Xu whispered in his ear were all similar words.

Have the same virtue as Master Xu!
He's tired of hearing it!

He knocked off the empress dowager's arm with a wave, the emperor didn't say anything, didn't listen to what the empress dowager said, turned around and walked out quickly.

The empress dowager was stunned by his sudden arrival and froze in place.

She didn't chase it out, nor did she stop it.

She just raised her hand and watched quietly.

The son waved her hand away.

The emperor treats her as a mother not only because she is annoying, because she cares too much, but also because he doesn't need...

The cold air gushed out from the empress dowager's internal organs, and she was so cold that she couldn't breathe.

There was no quarrel, no cursing, but in the eyes of the empress dowager, this confrontation between mother and child hurt her more than the previous one.

Holding the couch, the Empress Dowager sat down slowly.

Madam Xia came in, looked at the Empress Dowager with concern, and poured a cup of warm tea.

"Leave it alone," the empress dowager's voice became hoarse, "let Aijia sit by himself for a while."

This sitting, just sat for a long time.

It was raining heavily outside, and the water in the whole sky seemed to be pouring down, and the rain falling down the eaves formed a water curtain.

Listening to the sound of rain, Mother Xia looked at the Empress Dowager again.

The empress dowager was still in the same posture as before, she didn't move, and she didn't respond to external voices.

Grandma Xia sighed secretly.

It wasn't until around five o'clock that Madam Xia heard some movement inside. She hurried in to have a look, and saw the empress dowager standing up.

"Don't worry." She hurried to help.

The empress dowager sat motionless for so long, her legs became numb, she leaned against Nanny Xia, and moved little by little towards the bedroom.

"Aijia just thought a lot."

Mother Xia heard that she had opened her mouth and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"A lot," the empress dowager chuckled, mocking a bit, "after the Ai family gave birth to the emperor, how happy they are, the Ai family also has a son..."

Different from Zhao Lin and Zhao Gui, this is her own, carrying all her hopes.

She thought that her son was no worse than others.

She has always believed in this.

Plan for him, plan for him, hold his hand and let him inherit the throne...

Only just now did she have to admit that her son was not as good as her stepson Zhao Lin, nor was she as good as her daughter Zhao Gui.

All her grandchildren now, taken together, are not as good as Lin Fan, who can almost be identified as Zhao Lin's posthumous son.
