After reading my heart, my mother-in-law went crazy and I drank milk and melons.

Chapter 55 Returning from the South
  The Queen Mother entered in a luxurious dress, put her hand gently on Aunt Jade's arm, and said in a deep voice: "Emperor, how old are you, and you are still jealous of your own daughter?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene immediately solidified.

Emperor Qingling moved his eyes and remained silent.

The Queen Mother stepped forward without any intention of checking on Concubine Shu.

"Where's Ying'an? I want to see her."

Emperor Qingling frowned: "Your Majesty, does your Majesty know who assassinated me today?"

The Queen Mother remained silent.

Emperor Qingling waved his hand: "Everyone, go down."

Everyone knelt down and replied: "Yes."

Everyone retreated slowly, not daring to raise their heads the whole time for fear of offending the Emperor and the Queen Mother.

In an instant, only the Queen Mother sitting on the stool and Emperor Qingling sitting on the bed were left in the huge palace.

Emperor Qingling's voice was deep: "Empress, I have always been very tolerant to you. Why do you have to push me so hard and insist on killing me?"

The Queen Mother raised her eyes: "Where did the emperor start with these words?"

Emperor Qingling felt mixed emotions in his heart when he looked at the supreme and noble Queen Mother who had put him on the throne.

At this time, he really didn't know how to deal with the relationship with the Queen Mother.

When he was young, she did not give him the care that other children deserved.

Now he doesn't need it.

She no longer thought about compensation.

They are clearly mother and son.

But he groped his way forward.

Not even half as good as mother and son.

She knew everything, but she always pretended to be stupid, pushing him into the abyss again and again, ignoring his feelings.

Emperor Qingling lowered his eyes, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Prince Heng, please die!"

The Queen Mother shouted: "You are crazy! He is your uncle!"

Emperor Qing Ling raised his eyes and looked directly at the Queen Mother, his tone full of sullenness, with endless hatred hidden in it.

"Uncle? I'm afraid this uncle of mine wishes for my death!"

The Queen Mother was silent.

Emperor Qing Ling continued: "Tell me, how much do you know about this matter? How much did you participate in it?"

The Queen Mother frowned: "How did the Ai family know what he did? You sent so many people to surround the Changshou Palace every day. You should know best who the Ai family met. Why, you suspected that it was the Ai family. Did the family plan this incident? Or do you want to punish the Ai family for Concubine Shu?"

She knew her son best.

Softhearted.

So she knew early on that her son was not suitable to be emperor.

Since it's not suitable, it's better to give up your seat as soon as possible!

But she didn't know when exactly her son became a roundworm in her belly.

I know her true feelings that she has never told human beings.

But even so, she still had to pretend and act.

Emperor Qingling said in a deep voice: "I don't care how much you participated or how much you knew. Prince Heng has deviated from the orthodoxy and committed the following crime. He assassinated me and injured Concubine Shu. No matter what, I will kill him!"

The Queen Mother spoke earnestly: "Don't you know how many troops Prince Heng has in his hands? So, do you want to kill him for Concubine Shu?"

After hearing this, Emperor Qing Ling glanced at Concubine Shu lying on the couch.

Her face was pale, half of her face was wrapped in gauze, and she looked extremely terrifying.

The scene of her blocking his sword just now was still in front of him, how could he ignore it?

Determined to kill Prince Heng.

Even he himself couldn't tell whether it was because he intended to rebel, or if he just wanted to vent his anger on Concubine Shu.

He frowned: "I want to be alone, Wei Weiran, to send the Queen Mother back to the palace." Wei Weiran came from outside and stooped, stood in front of the Queen Mother, knelt down and said: "Mother Queen Mother, please."

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Qing Ling, feeling extremely depressed.

Despite this, he never mentioned killing her.

In his heart, the mother-child love for her should not be exhausted yet.

But the royal family is ruthless, and he shouldn't be like this.

She opened her lips lightly: "Do you know why Concubine Shu doesn't wake up?"

Emperor Qing Ling suddenly raised his eyes, his pupils trembling, and his eyes were full of hatred.

He frowned: "Mr. Zhao, he's yours!"

The Queen Mother said nothing.

Emperor Qing Ling glanced at Wei Weiran with burning eyes.

Wei Weiran immediately lowered his head and went out without stopping to bring in Dr. Zhao.

As soon as Imperial Physician Zhao came in, he knew that the Dongchuang incident had occurred, that the Queen Mother and the Emperor were confronting each other, and that he had become a victim.

He immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is one month pregnant."

Emperor Qingling said angrily: "Why don't you wait until the child is born before telling me!"

Doctor Zhao kowtowed his head so hard that blood oozed from his forehead.

Between the emperor and the queen mother, he could only make one more choice.

If you choose the emperor, you will definitely offend the queen mother.

But now, there is no other way but to do this.

"Yes... the Queen Mother didn't let Wei Chen say anything. She said she would arrange the matter personally. I don't know how to arrange it specifically..."

Emperor Qing Ling continued: "If she doesn't let you tell me, you won't tell me. Is this world mine or hers? Doctor Zhao, I think you are really pitifully stupid!"

Doctor Zhao was so frightened that he almost peed his pants on the spot, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please spare Weichen's life for the sake of Weichen's medical skills and his hard work for so many years."

"I will spare your life! Then who will spare me!"

His voice was full of anger.

The Queen Mother said leisurely from the side: "Emperor, this matter is not entirely Dr. Zhao's fault."

Emperor Qing Ling moved his eyes away, turned his eyes to the Queen Mother, and said solemnly: "What? The Queen Mother wants to say that this matter is your fault? Can you guarantee that the child in Concubine Shu's belly will be born safely?"

The Queen Mother didn't know why, she spread her hands and asked, "What does the child in Concubine Shu's belly have to do with the Ai family?"

Emperor Qingling sneered: "Then what is the relationship between Ying'an and Huang'e Niang? Huang's Niang actually came to Yangxin Palace to question me because of her!"

The atmosphere was too solemn, and it was impossible to listen to what the two said.

The more you listen to a word, the more risk you will lose your head.

Doctor Zhao knelt on the ground and wished he could plug his ears.

But he could only be forced to listen, his body shaking wildly.

The Queen Mother obviously did not expect that Emperor Qingling would blame Ying'an again. She said solemnly: "Are you paranoid about your daughter now? As long as the Ai family is close to Ying'an, you will think that the Ai family has something else. Conspiracy, you don’t even trust your own daughter?”

Emperor Qing Ling looked away, his eyes filled with endless desolation.

After a long time, he spoke: "On that day, I remember that Huang'e Niang killed my biological sister with her own hands, just to gain the favor of my father. In Huang's heart, is there anything higher than status? You Why are you approaching Ying'an? To help her win the world? Or to let her help you win the world?"

The Queen Mother's face turned red with embarrassment when she was poked at the central issue.

"you……"

Emperor Qingling looked up to the sky and sighed: "The Queen Mother is old and in poor health. She lives in the Longevity Palace to rest. Without my order, she is not allowed to leave the palace and no one is allowed to visit her."

The Queen Mother pointed at Emperor Qing Ling with trembling fingers: "You are trying to put me under house arrest!"

Emperor Qingling looked at the Queen Mother: "I will kill Prince Heng. He has hurt my most beloved woman. There is no reason to live in this world."

"You... you... tyrant! You want beauty but not the world! The Ai family should not have allowed you to be the emperor back then! Even the fourteenth old man is more suitable to be the emperor than you!"

The eunuch's voice outside the palace sounded at the right time: "Report - the Fourteenth Master has returned from the south!"
