Jin Xin followed him to Shoukang Palace with a plain face and light-colored clothes.
All the concubines are here. Those with low status are outside and cannot go in. Those with concubines and above are all in the inner hall.
When Jin Xin entered, she could hear the Queen talking in the courtyard, crying and hugging the Queen Mother.
Naturally, I have to cry. If the Queen Mother dies, the Queen will not have many good days.
Jin Xin went inside and saw the queen kneeling on the ground, holding the queen mother in her arms. The emperor was sitting on a round stool, looking at the queen mother with a sad expression.
Jin Xin stepped forward to salute, then knelt on the ground.
The Queen Mother lay there, unaware of anyone else, barely able to breathe, and didn't even open her eyes.
"Aunt, wake up. The Emperor is here. Let's talk. If there is anything else you want to say, please tell me." The Queen shook the Queen Mother's hand.
The Queen Mother opened her eyes slightly, but she couldn't move her hands. She tried her best to speak, but she couldn't speak at all. She could only mumble incoherently.
The emperor stepped forward and said gently, "Mother, do you want me to take good care of the queen?"
The Queen Mother shook her head and whined, as if half of her mouth was twitching, as if she had a stroke, she was babbling, and she looked outside, very excited.
The Queen immediately knew what the Queen Mother meant and asked, "Do you want to see the Sixth Prince?"
The queen mother nodded, then looked at the emperor with pleading eyes, and said something, with tears in her eyes, she was very excited.
She knew she was dying.
Faced with such an accurate translation from the Queen, the Emperor was very unhappy.
But he couldn't show it, with sadness in his eyes, he stepped forward and held the Queen Mother's hand, "I will take good care of my sixth brother. He will not suffer in the fief."
The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this, disappointed and sad. She closed her eyes and was not satisfied with the Emperor's answer.
What she wants is for the Emperor to allow the Sixth Prince to return to the capital and live there.
The land of Subei is desolate and dry. He has to live for a lifetime. He is only ten years old. He will be trapped there for the rest of his life.
The Queen Mother was speechless and dying, but knowing that she had little time, she could only accept her fate. She tremblingly supported the Emperor's hand. The Emperor looked down at the Queen Mother's hand. He was hesitant. He knew very well what the Queen Mother meant.
The queen cried and offered her hand. The queen mother was a little anxious. Looking at the emperor, she was anxious and nervous. She had the last bit of strength and she just wanted to protect the queen.
But the queen is incompetent. Once she leaves, the future of the queen can be imagined.
However, the Emperor did not extend his hand according to the Queen Mother's wishes. Instead, he motioned for all the concubines kneeling on the ground to get out.
The Queen Mother, the Queen and the Emperor were the only ones left in the room.
The Queen Mother sighed and closed her eyes, feeling powerless and frustrated. She knew that no matter what she said, the Emperor would not agree to it. She let all the concubines go, just because she didn't want people to see how cold-blooded he was towards his adoptive mother.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother can't hold it anymore, can't you let her rest her eyes in peace?" The Queen always obeyed the Emperor, but seeing her aunt being treated like this by the Emperor, she was really angry.
Whether in the past or in the palace, the Queen Mother really loved her in every way. The Queen loved the Queen Mother. Seeing the coldness on the Emperor's face at this moment, she felt chilled.
The emperor looked at the queen and said to her calmly, "You go out and wait. I want to talk to my mother about what's on my mind."
The queen was a little reluctant, but facing the emperor's sharp eyes, she immediately turned her face away, not daring to look at him.
Then, she stood up slowly and said, "I am outside, please don't irritate the Queen Mother."
The emperor raised his eyes and stared at her coldly again. The queen quickly lowered her eyebrows and turned around to go out.
At this moment, no one was here anymore. The emperor looked at the Queen Mother, then sat beside her bed, holding the Queen Mother's hand, "Mother, my son is very grateful to you for remembering me in your name and allowing me to have the title of heir. Good luck getting this position.”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she paused, opened her eyes, and looked at the Emperor to see how he wanted to stimulate her.
"In the first two years, my son also wanted to serve his mother and be a loving mother and son with you. But after your mother had your sixth brother, you no longer wanted me. The water in Jinming Pond that year was so cold that not only It’s my body and my heart.”
These words made the Queen Mother's eyes widen, and she was very shocked how he knew.
The Queen Mother initially raised him because she had not yet given birth and was worried that the late Emperor was old and would no longer be able to reproduce, so she thought of keeping him under her knees. However, after her biological child was born, her adopted son had to compete for favor.
She saw him standing next to her younger brother several times with a very scary look in her eyes. The queen was very afraid of this adopted son, so she wanted him to leave, but she didn't want the late emperor to think that she disliked her adopted son because she had a biological son.
So I was confused for a moment, knowing that he didn't know how to swim, and let someone push him, causing an accident.
I didn't expect him to know everything.
The Emperor smiled bitterly and looked at the Queen Mother, "At that time, I was hiding in my bed in fear. I was sick for half a month and had nightmares every night. I couldn't sleep peacefully. I was afraid that someone would put a rope around my neck. Come on, does your mother know what it feels like?"
The Queen Mother let out an unpleasant whimper, and her body was shaking even more. It was not because she was afraid, but because she wanted to explain and resolve his grievances. She didn't expect that the Emperor knew about it.
In this case, how could the emperor treat Lin well?
The emperor ignored the Queen Mother's struggle and continued, "Since I recovered from that illness, I have tried my best to please you, but I still cannot please you. You even asked your uncle to shoot me to death during the autumn hunting, right?"
The Queen Mother was even more panicked. He actually knew about this.
Among the sons of the late emperor, he was the most outstanding. His outstanding literary talent at a young age was highly appreciated by the emperor. At that time, the queen mother actually had plans for her youngest son. This adopted son who occupied the title of legitimate son was the biggest obstacle. The queen mother That's what made people take action.
He was injured in the abdomen but it did not kill him. He was brought back by his guards and survived. After he recovered from the injury, he asked himself to lead troops on the battlefield. In several years, he had made great achievements in battle, and he could no longer shake him. .
The Queen Mother was desperate. Looking at the Emperor, she wanted to admit her mistake. Even if she was asked to kneel down, she would do anything. She just asked the Emperor not to bear any grudge against Lin and her son.
When the emperor talked about these things, his eyes were red, and tears fell unexpectedly. Over the years, except for the first few years, he wanted to seek the queen's protection. At a young age, he did all the things he did to hide himself. , after getting the crown, he never showed any weakness in front of the Queen Mother, just to show her how the adopted son she wanted to kill destroyed her.
The emperor felt very happy when he saw the queen mother's regretful look.
"Let me tell you something more. When I participated in the fight for the legitimate son, I attacked my sixth brother. I was the one who did it. Mother, you have never thought of that, right?"
The Queen Mother stared at the Emperor with wide eyes. She was shocked at first, then angry. She struggled to get up, but she couldn't move. She suddenly felt a headache, dizziness, and the pain was as if she was about to explode.
The body straightened up and there was no more movement.
