Chapter 237 Mother and Son Argument
  The emperor's original intention was that he was pretending to be confused, but the queen mother took advantage of the situation and didn't mention it, so the matter passed away in confusion.
  Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother insisted on arguing out the reason. The Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes when looking at the Queen Mother changed: "Does the Queen Mother really not know why?"
  "How did the Ai family know?" The emperor insisted on this, and the queen mother became really angry and said angrily: "Didn't you instruct the queen on this matter? Otherwise, with the queen's temperament, she would not dare to touch the things belonging to the Ai family!"
  "Your things?" The Emperor stared at the Queen Mother with a half-smile, and said, "Since the Queen Mother insists on saying it, we simply spread our mother and son apart. Is it really because of your filial piety that you love the second young lady of the Shen family?"
  "You and Xiaoqing have been together in the Ai family for many years. Don't you know how the Ai family treats you and Xiaoqing?" The Queen Mother asked, "Don't forget how you got to this position!"
  "My son, I have not forgotten. Because I have not forgotten, I have turned a blind eye to your behavior all these years." The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered slightly as his emotions surged.
  "Since the mother is pretending to be stupid, I would like to ask again, is it really because of Mrs. Zhongyi's entrustment to Xiaoqing?"
  The Queen Mother finally understood at this time, her hands fell heavily on the table, and she said angrily: "What do you mean by this?!"
  The emperor sat still and did not move, but the sarcasm on his face became more and more serious: "What do you mean by my son? Doesn't it mean that my mother doesn't know?"
  "What does the Ai family know?" The queen mother suddenly stood up, walked to the emperor in a few steps, and said: "The king of this country is so dignified that he believes in those unfounded rumors like the low-class people outside!"
  "The Ai family really misjudged you at the beginning."
  "Did the queen misjudge your son, or did she become angry because she touched your mind?" The emperor also stood up and said directly.
  Mother and son are one step away from each other.
  The emperor was tall and the queen mother had to look up to see his expression.
  His eyebrows were the same as when he was a child, but they had grown longer and matured, but there was more majesty that she couldn't see through, especially the unabashed sarcasm on his face.
  Suddenly, the Queen Mother seemed to be able to hear the unenthroned emperor promising her that she would be filial to the world in the future.
  After many years, the emperor did it, but the mother and son gradually became estranged. Now the emperor actually questioned her because of this!
  At this moment, the Queen Mother was not only disappointed but also tired.
  She smiled bitterly, took a few steps back and sat back on the chair, the disappointment in her eyes became more intense: "The Ai family knows that even you think there is a quarrel between the Ai family and Lao Zhongyihou."
  When the Emperor saw the Queen Mother like this, his tense expression suddenly relaxed.
  He moved his mouth, and his voice was no longer as angry as before: "Mother, it's not my conjecture, but the rumors and my investigation..."
  He did not elaborate on the rest of the words, and sighed heavily: "I am grateful to you for pushing me to my current position, but I have to remind you that because you insisted on protecting Shen Zhuoxi despite the objections of all the officials, all the officials have already have opinions."
  "It's because of her getting married that old things are involved again. As the Queen Mother, you are involved in such vile rumors, and your children are caught in the middle. How should you deal with it?"
  The Queen Mother sneered and said, "Speaking of which, the Ai family might as well tell you clearly that before the Ai family entered the palace and became the concubine, they did have a good impression of each other with Marquis Zhongyi, but it was more about love than courtesy."
  "Whether it was at the beginning or later, neither of us crossed the line even a little bit. After Aijia entered the palace, he respected Aijia as the late emperor's concubine, and Aijia respected him as a minister who had made meritorious services."
  "Those rumors are just nonsense that you put out because you didn't want the concubine to be favored by the Ai family. Fortunately, you are the king, and you don't want to think that if the Ai family's virtue is bad, the late emperor will let the Ai family raise the prince?"
  "Besides, we have never met in person since we started our own families. How could there be any other possibility?"
  The emperor paused and his voice became softer: "Father doesn't know!"
  "Do you think the late emperor really didn't know anything?" The Queen Mother thought of something and snorted coldly: "It was precisely because he knew that he ordered the Ai family to enter the palace. After all, behind the Ai family is the entire Wuya clan!"
  "Jiang Lie is a general with great achievements in war, and Ya clan is married to a hero who is in charge of thousands of armies. Your father is worried that it will subvert the government, so he made this decision!"
  The Queen Mother became more and more emotional as she spoke, and asked: "Do you know why the Ai family has not given birth to a son and a half?"
  The emperor immediately thought of something and said, "Father's instructions?"
  "Yes, the late emperor was worried that having the blood of the Wuya clan would make others disloyal." The Queen Mother had a smile on her face, as if she was talking about other people's affairs.
  But the tears in the corners of her eyes betrayed her innermost feelings: "He instructed the imperial physician who was treating the Ai family to put infertility medicine in the medicine."
  "By the time the Ai family found out, they were already deeply hurt and unable to have children of their own. Even so, the Ai family never had any quarrel. Later, the Wuya family declined, and the late emperor felt guilty towards the Ai family."
  "That's why he placed the princes one after another with the Ai family to raise him. He even agreed to the Ai family's request to raise Xiaoqing."
  The emperor heard the truth from the Queen Mother. It was completely contrary to what he had imagined. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
  After the Queen Mother finished speaking, tears finally fell, and she turned her face away and said nothing.
  There was a strange atmosphere between mother and son.
  After a long time, the emperor finally spoke and said: "Mother, you are a son and minister, you shouldn't..."
  "That's all." The Queen Mother waved her hand to interrupt him, her face becoming more and more tired: "You also know what you want to know. Please order someone to send the dowry gift list to Zhuo Xi."
  The emperor did not agree. He stood up, bowed and said, "Forgive me, mother, but I still cannot give this dowry to Shen Zhuoxi."
  "The rumors cannot be eliminated. Besides, she is going to marry King Yu." After the emperor said this, he did not continue, his eyes were helpless: "King Yu was also raised by you."
  "After you became emperor, you have become more thoughtful." The Queen Mother's eyes were red and she looked at him as if she were a complete stranger: "A dowry gift list is my guarantee for Shen Zhuoxi and has nothing to do with King Yu."
  "If you don't agree to this one, Ai Jia will send the second one to her personally. You can't stop it, unless you abolish Ai Jia's identity as the Queen Mother."
  "Mother, do you really want to do this?" the emperor said with a look of pain.
  The Queen Mother said nothing and slowly closed her eyes.
  "Since the Queen Mother is tired, I will leave without disturbing you." The Emperor saluted and left angrily.
  After he left, the Queen Mother opened her eyes, and the pain in her eyes became even stronger.
  Aunt Guirong poured her some soup and said, "The second lady ordered someone to prepare it. You can calm down. Can you take a sip?"
  "Zhuo Xi is more filial than him." The Queen Mother sighed as she looked at the sweet soup brought by Sister Guirong and then at the tea that the Emperor had just poured for her.
  Aunt Guirong consoled her: "The emperor is the king of a country. He always has many things to consider, and he can't help himself in many things. There is no hatred between mother and son overnight. In a few days, why don't you still come to say hello to you?"
  "Guirong, tell me, am I wrong?" the Queen Mother asked in a deep voice.
  Aunt Guirong said quickly: "What's wrong with you? The late emperor beat the mandarin ducks with a stick, but you didn't complain at all. Whether it's the harem or the children, everything was taken care of properly. It's because the emperor didn't understand your good intentions."
  "That's all." The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said, "Prepare another gift list and send it to the Taishi Mansion in person."
