Chapter 143
Both mother and son finally fell silent.

The Queen Mother cried from time to time, while Ning Zhao stood quietly three steps away from her.

After a long while, it was Ning Zhao who finally sighed first.

He came forward, wiped away the tears on the Queen Mother's face with the handkerchief, and sighed: "The Queen Mother is hurt from crying carefully."

"Do you agree?" The Queen Mother grabbed his wrist and asked urgently.

Ning Zhao shook his head silently.

"Zhao'er, I beg you, my mother, is this not okay?!" The Queen Mother was anxious, "The Ai family swears to you that if you don't want him to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, then you won't let him recognize his ancestors and return to the clan! He will definitely It cannot threaten your current position!"

"Where did the Queen Mother's words go?" Ning Zhao sighed, "This makes my son sad."

"I just want to say that Yang Hongcheng must be killed, but the mother's son can come back." Ning Zhao said.

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then she was ecstatic: "You mean..."

"Yang Hongcheng's crime is so heinous that it has aroused the anger of all the ministers. Not killing him is not enough to satisfy the anger. Therefore, no matter how much my mother pleads for mercy, Yang Hongcheng will still have to die." Ning Zhao said, "But how can my imperial brother die?"

"Since he has been wandering for many years and is found back, is it possible for me, the elder brother, to fight with him?" Ning Zhao sighed, "If this is the case, how will I see my father and Lieutenant General in the future? Ancestors?"

The Queen Mother looked at him in disbelief, and her eyes suddenly filled with tears.

They had known each other as mother and son for so many years, but there had never been a moment when she looked at him as if he were her own son.

"Zhao'er, thank you so much, Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother's tears fell again, "The Queen Mother did not misjudge the person. She knew you were a good child from the beginning..."

Ning Zhao smiled and wiped the Queen Mother's tears while sighing: "Mother, don't thank me yet. I have two things to make clear to the Queen Mother."

"Say," the Queen Mother was also very happy, "Don't say just two things, even if it is a hundred things, as long as the Queen Mother can do it, the Queen Mother will promise you."

Ning Zhao patted her hand in relief and said with a smile: "The son is not so unfilial and does not need the mother to do a hundred things."

"You child," the Queen Mother laughed through tears, "you are making a joke to the Queen Mother."

"The queen shed so many tears, and the son was also afraid that the queen would hurt her body from crying." Ning Zhao restrained his smile and said seriously, "The first thing is to ask Yang Hongcheng to admit his kinship with the queen through blood, and with his son. Blood recognizes relatives. After all, it is royal blood and cannot be confused. The son naturally trusts the mother, but he must give an explanation to the ministers. "

The late Emperor's son was found inexplicably, and he couldn't ask anyone to die to become acquainted with the late Emperor. The only option was to ask the Empress Dowager to shed her blood to recognize her, and to ask Ning Zhao to shed her blood to recognize her.

"So that's what happened." The Queen Mother relaxed and sighed, "This is what it should be."

"This second thing," Ning Zhao paused, a little hesitant; seeing his hesitant expression, the Queen Mother was also a little nervous.After a long while, Ning Zhao sighed and said, "Please mother, please forgive your son first."

"You kid, what else can't we say between mother and son?" the Queen Mother forced a smile.

"If the emperor's brother recognizes his ancestor and returns to his family, I'm afraid he needs to change his face." Ning Zhao said.

The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Change your face?!" The beauty of your body and your skin are like those of your parents!
Ning Zhao actually let her child change his appearance!
If you want to change your appearance, it would be such a painful process of scraping your bones and changing your skin!

"No!" The Queen Mother flatly refused.

Ning Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "Queen Mother, everyone has seen Yang Hongcheng's face. Since he has been sentenced to death, how can he appear in everyone's eyes as the emperor's younger brother?"

"There are many people with similar looks in the world!" the Queen Mother said coldly.

Isn’t this living example right before our eyes?
Yang Hongcheng wanted to humiliate Ning Zhao and Yun Yuwei, so he could find so many girls who looked similar to the concubines in the harem!

Even if someone similar in appearance to Yang Hongcheng appears in the future, it is normal.

"Of course." Ning Zhao sighed, "It's just that Yang Hongcheng was led astray by King Annan. He now has such a bad reputation in the capital. If he regains his identity, he will inevitably be criticized for his previous appearance - it's better not to have such a reputation. It’s better to follow the emperor’s younger brother.”

The Queen Mother was silent.

Ning Zhao was actually right.

When Yang Hongcheng came to Beijing this time, he didn't leave any good reputation behind. All the ministers accompanying him in the palace frowned when they mentioned Yang Hongcheng. Even the ministers who turned against King Annan early advised King Annan to take advantage of the opportunity. gave up on this son.

Originally, Yang Hongcheng recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, so the Queen Mother could naturally use her power to protect him.

It's a pity that Yang Hongcheng was too stupid and completely offended the Queen Mother's power. Among other things, the Queen Mother had a very strong support - Peng Taishi Peng Guanyi. If Yang Hongcheng performed well, Peng Guanyi's power might not be restored by Yang Hongcheng. The power behind identity.But the bad thing is that Yang Hongcheng is stupid and bad. Among the group of servants he found, there were four people who looked similar to Peng Qingyin!How could Peng Guanyi be willing to assist such a person?

Standing in front of Yang Hongcheng's face will indeed not help his future prospects.

"The Ai family heard," the Queen Mother said, not giving up, "that there is a strange human skin mask in the rivers and lakes that covers people's faces, giving them a completely different look."

"I have also heard of this kind of face-changing technique," Ning Zhao looked at the Queen Mother's sudden relaxation and slowly delivered a fatal blow, "It's just that the risk is too great."

"What risk?" Upon hearing that there was a risk, the Queen Mother immediately asked worriedly.

"First of all, human skin masks are not easy to come by." Ning Zhao said, "I heard that the human skin required for the human skin mask needs to be completely peeled off from the face of a living person before it can be made."

"Then peel them off!" the Queen Mother blurted out. Then she realized that these words were too cold-blooded and hurriedly changed her tone, "There are many death row prisoners in the sky prison. If their dignity can be used, they deserve to die."

That's what he said, but how could her child use the face of someone who had committed such heinous crimes as a death row prisoner?

If she wanted to find face for Yang Hongcheng, then countless people would have to come forward, crying and shouting, to offer face to Yang Hongcheng.

"Yes." Ning Zhao did not refute, nodded and continued, "Secondly, this human skin mask cannot be made in one go. It may not completely fit the face. If it cannot fit well, the mask will be useless. It needs to be done again, and the cycle may be a bit long.”

"We, mother and son, have been separated for 16 years. We are not in a hurry right now," the Queen Mother said.

"Thirdly, the skin belongs to someone else. Even if it fits the face perfectly, it may cause sores and pus for various reasons."
