"This..." The queen mother hesitated and couldn't believe it. The sudden truth caught her by surprise, and she even staggered slightly.

"Queen!" Ning Yi saw that the Queen Mother was about to lose her footing, so he quickly grabbed her cold hand, led her to stand still slightly, and called anxiously, "Queen Mother, are you alright?"

"Aijia... Aijia is fine." The Empress Dowager shook her head, seemingly unable to accept this unbelievable explanation for a while.

Seeing this, Lan Yao immediately helped the shocked queen mother to sit down, and only after she calmed down slightly did she say:
"Believe it or not, it is the Queen Mother's freedom, but as the Queen Mother of a country, you naturally know in your heart that the current Daxuan is already in danger like duckweed in the rain."

"During Ning Shu's reign, tyranny was rampant, and today's Daxuan is facing internal and external difficulties, and the people are in dire straits. If you want to turn the tide, Queen Mother, you should trust me once."

"Of course, even if you don't want to trust me, a stranger, King Jing Ningyi's choice, you should believe it, right?"

Even though the Empress Dowager can see through the hearts of the people in this deep palace, but at this moment, listening to Lan Yao's assurance, she can't judge the authenticity. Under the violent impact, she couldn't help asking again because she wanted to be sure:
"Yi'er, tell the queen mother, is all this true?"

"Are you really willing to believe this person who has an unknown origin but took Shu'er's body?"

When the queen mother was hesitating, Ning Yi smiled desolately, and replied with a bit of regret:
"Yes, queen mother, my son chooses to trust her without reservation."

It seems that in order to make everything clearer, Ning Yi, who has endured for many years, broke out another shocking news:
"Empress, you and I both know that the imperial sister has committed many crimes. What she did will go to hell. Now that she has fallen into such a fate, it is her own fault and responsibility."

"Even though she is your flesh and blood, my imperial sister, how did she treat us?"

"She imprisoned you in the Kunning Palace because of your persuasion, and forced our mother and son to separate because of your jealousy of your love for me. But these are nothing. Do you know, Queen Mother, if she hadn't been planning for the imperial brother who could ascend to the throne, she had not drugged the tea that I handed over to me, making me dizzy and falling off the horse. How could I have broken my legs and never stood up again?"

The Empress Dowager's face changed drastically when she heard the words, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she said in astonishment: "So, Shu'er was the chief ambassador of the Queen Mother in the autumn hunting and falling horse case?"

At this point, Ning Yi's eyes were already flushed, years of grievances welled up in his heart, he endured it so as not to let his emotions lose control, but even so, the words were full of tears:
"Yes, Ning Shu spared my life because of her brother-sister relationship, but in order to ensure that I would not become an obstacle to her ascension to the throne, she poisoned me with the poison of old age."

"Every time this poison attacks, it will make me miserable. Mother, do you know that the whole body of the poisoned person will age faster, and they will not live to be 30 years old, and finally die of emaciation."

"It's ridiculous that even if life is worse than death, I still have to live like this."

"If possible, I would rather never have this sister!"

"Oh my God! She actually—" Empress Dowager Qi Xin exclaimed. When she heard the news, she couldn't help but mourn extremely, and fell into deep self-blame and powerlessness.

She had never seen Ning Yi with such a fragile appearance. All along, the handsome and civilized son in her heart had always looked mature, stable, elegant and upright, but she, as a mother, didn't know until now when she felt his exposed emotions——

How bitter is his heart.

How deep was the betrayal and torture he experienced.

But in order not to worry her, he would rather carry everything alone, swallow the pain silently, and try his best to live on the responsibilities on his shoulders...

Even if you are the empress dowager, Qi Xin couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment. She bent down slightly, hugged her child, and comforted her softly:
"Yi'er, it's the queen mother who is not good, but the queen mother doesn't know that you have endured all this."

"The queen mother is wrong. The queen mother shouldn't be self-righteous and ask you to forgive me without knowing anything, and she shouldn't let you support everything in this treacherous place alone. Yi'er, you still have me, and the queen mother is here!"

The resentment in Ning Yi's heart finally had a chance to vent, no matter how tough he was, he couldn't help but burst into tears in front of the only mother who could show weakness at this moment:
"We are Ning Shu's relatives, but we are also the Queen Mother and Prince of Daxuan. We failed to stop her from committing crimes when she was alive, to clean up Daxuan and restore the people's peace and prosperity."

"Nowadays, the foundation laid by the Taizu will be overthrown in an instant in just three generations. Thousands of people are living in dire straits. Fortunately, God has mercifully sent down an envoy, so we have the opportunity to set things right and rebuild the government. Do we still have to remain indifferent because of the so-called doubts?"

Ever since he could no longer stand up due to a leg injury, Ning Yi was calm and silent most of the time. Now he is deeply in love. After wiping away the tears for the queen mother who was also crying, he stretched out his hand and said with full of expectation:
"Mother, this is our only chance, are you willing to stand with me and fight for Daxuan?"

As a mother, Qi Xin was naturally willing to be with Ning Yi, she held his hand without hesitation, and said:
"Naturally, but—"

After all, Qi Xin is a person in the deep palace. She still couldn't let go of the grievances in her heart, and looked at Lan Yao, whose expression was completely different from her own daughter's, her words suddenly became cold, faintly majestic, and said:
"But, since the envoy of God came here to save the common people in the world and upholds justice wholeheartedly, why is he so close and entangled with that Shura ghost king Feng Jin?"

"The envoy knows that the Queen Feng Jin is vicious and vicious, and has a very vicious and changeable temperament. He is a master who will use whatever means to achieve his goals. What he has been planning for many years should not be just a mere queen, right?"

Qi Xin deserved to be the queen mother of a country, she could see the situation clearly, Lan Yao's expression froze when she was told that, but she couldn't help but feel guilty.

Sure enough, not all of her actions were recognized, after all, Feng Jin's reputation is really not good...

Lan Yao knew that she needed an explanation at this time, so she didn't hesitate too long, she quickly said in a firm tone:
"But I thought that all the things that Empress Feng Jin did were just for revenge. Right now, King Jing and I are not strong enough to support the overall situation here. What's more, the one who is most eyeing my position now is Prime Minister Qi Yuming. The Queen Mother should be clear about what he wants to do."

"So, I need Feng Jin, and so does Daxuan. Since I dare to use him, I am confident that I can control him. The Queen Mother should be very clear about what I have done these days, so you should also have some confidence in me."

Lan Yao acted calmly in front of the queen mother, as if everything was under her control, she continued:
"Actually, I don't need you to do anything, Queen Mother. It doesn't matter whether you believe my words or not. I only have one condition, as long as you don't stand with the ambitious Qi Yuming and help him to overthrow this country."

"In return, I can undo the poison of twilight for King Jing Ningyi, heal his legs, and help him stand up again, how about it?"
