After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Chapter 118
I can't help but have doubts about the rumored Shen Shengge, but in fact, Shen Shengge is not as bad as the legend says.

Or, she has been faking it.

Su Wunian seemed to have seen through Xiao Yunzhe's thoughts, and said coldly, "Your Majesty's thoughts are true."

"The rumors about Nu are indeed false. Those are just illusions deliberately created by Nu, making everyone think that Nu is arrogant, domineering and willful."

"The true identity of the slave is a pawn secretly cultivated by the Empress Dowager, and it can only be activated after her death."

Xiao Yunzhe just wanted to open his mouth to ask something.

Su Wunian spoke first, "Your Majesty must want to ask, why does the empress dowager use it only after she dies?"

"That's because the Empress Dowager knew that she was suffering from a serious illness many years ago, and she might not be able to pave the way for Your Majesty."

"So secretly cultivate chess pieces, and these chess pieces are not used to avoid being targeted by interested people. Instead, they are specially reserved for His Majesty to help His Majesty sit firmly on the dragon chair."

"The empress dowager has long expected that once she dies, the court will be in turmoil and neighboring countries will look at her like a tiger. At that time, Qingyuan will be in a situation of internal and external troubles. Your majesty will be in a position to employ people."

"And those who can be used by the empress dowager may not be able to be used by your majesty. That's why the empress dowager planned ahead and made arrangements in secret." All that Su Wunian said was indeed what she was thinking at the time, but she never thought of using Shen Shengge cultivated into Anzi.

Su Wunian was diagnosed by the imperial doctor when she was forty-one years old. If she didn't have a good life and self-cultivation, she might not live another year.

But at that time, Zhe'er was too young, and the life experience of the regent was suspicious. Although the elder brother was unrestrained and unrestrained on the battlefield, he was not good at court strategy, so he couldn't take on the important task of assisting the young emperor.

From that year on, she gradually let go of the political power in her hands and devoted more energy to teaching Zhe'er.Perhaps it was because he was not as overworked as before, and he lived year after year.

Lived until 46.

The suspicion in Xiao Yunzhe's eyes gradually dissipated, and being able to say what she just said showed that she could never be the unbearable Shen Shengge in the rumors.

She is indeed a disguise, but whether this disguise is because she is a chess piece left by her mother or has other plans is unknown.

"How do you prove that you are the dark child left behind by your mother?"

"Just a bowl of porridge?"

The corners of Su Wunian's glamorous lips twitched slightly, "Couldn't that bowl of clear porridge prove the close relationship between the slave and the empress dowager?"

"If it wasn't someone the Empress Dowager trusts very much, how would I know how to make porridge and your majesty's preferences?"

"The queen mother once said that betrayal by those closest to her will often make people pay a heavy price. Although Gu has never doubted Mother Su's loyalty to the queen mother, she will not trust Mother Su unreservedly."

"If she betrays Gu, she may not tell you Gu's likes and dislikes, and even everything about the queen mother."

Su Wunian was very relieved, but also worried that Zhe'er had indeed grown up, and would not be easily deceived, let alone trust others.

But being suspicious and cautious is a double-edged sword.It can reduce betrayal and deceit, but it will also make people more and more suspicious.

This is the only way for every emperor.

"Your Majesty is right." Su Wunian raised her chin slightly, and said confidently, "But I know many secrets that only the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty know."

"What secret?" Xiao Yunzhe's thick eyelashes parted.

"For example, the Misty Sound Pavilion."

"For example, the Bian Xun."

"For another example, when Your Majesty was five years old, on the anniversary of the late Emperor's death, Your Majesty got into the arms of the Empress Dowager and asked about the late Emperor, and the Empress Dowager told you the secret."

"Only His Majesty and the Empress Dowager know about this matter."

Xiao Yunzhe's heart tightened, and his heartbeat seemed to stop suddenly. The hand lying on the desk tightly grasped the corner of the desk, and his fingertips scraped hard on the table.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

That night he slept with his mother, and what they said was known only to each other.Unless the queen mother is alive, no one will know.

He raised his eyes suddenly, looked at Su Wunian, who was weak and thin in the center of the hall, with sharp eyes, and said in a cold and low voice, "What secret?"

Su Wunian looked directly at Xiao Yunzhe, without any fear, and spoke clearly, "This secret, I swore a poisonous oath in front of the empress dowager, and I can no longer say it or write it out."

"Even today, in order to win His Majesty's trust, you can't say it."

"But to put it another way, His Majesty will definitely understand."

"This secret is related to the late emperor and His Majesty's biological mother."

"Shen Shengge, you are bold!" Xiao Yunzhe stood up abruptly and yelled loudly.

Su Wunian didn't seem to be intimidated, and stood like a pine, "The reason why I dare to tell Your Majesty that I know this secret is to prove to Your Majesty that I am indeed the most trusted person of the Empress Dowager; The third is that the situation is dangerous now, so I have to take a gamble."

"Slaves can gradually gain the trust of His Majesty."

"You can also defend His Majesty against swords and arrows, answer questions, and make suggestions."

"But now the situation is critical, I can't wait, Your Majesty can't wait, and Qingyuan can't wait!"

"If your majesty still doesn't believe it, you can order the slave to be killed right now. In this way, only your majesty will know the secret, and your majesty will have no worries." Su Wunian regarded death as home, with firm eyes.

Xiao Yunzhe suddenly let go of the hand that was holding the corner of the table, his deeply frowned brows relaxed, and met Su Wunian's firm and bright eyes.

Those bright eyes were full of aura, but unintentionally gave people a kind of trust.

"You're very smart." What she just said about Qingyuan's situation, his situation, is absolutely true.

If it wasn't for surrender, she would never have dared to reveal that secret.

But she said, fight with your life.It shows that she regards Qingyuan and Jianggu as more important than her life.Otherwise, she didn't need to tell that secret.

If she appeared here with bad intentions, wanted to get close on purpose, and waited for the opportunity, it would be bad for Gu.It's better to directly disclose that secret to the world, Gu will definitely lose the throne, this is the biggest and most direct harm to Gu.

She didn't.

What's more, only the orphan and the queen mother knew what happened that night. If the queen mother hadn't told her herself, she would not have known such details. She knew exactly which night and where she said those words.

"You won the bet."

Xiao Yunzhe came out from behind the desk, walked down the steps slowly, and stood in front of Su Wunian.

Because he was a little shorter than Su Wunian, he looked up at Su Wunian, "You are not afraid, in case Gu no longer needs you someday, I will get rid of you and hurry up?"

Su Wunian raised the corners of her lips, smiled lightly, and lowered her eyes to look down at Xiao Yunzhe, "If there is a day when His Majesty no longer needs slaves, then surely he will not be afraid of this secret."

"Only if you are strong enough, you will be fearless."

"If His Majesty is still afraid of that secret, it means that His Majesty is not strong enough and still needs slaves."

Xiao Yunzhe stood with his hands behind his back, "Shen Shengge, you are very interesting."
