Chapter 469 Mother and son separated
Xie Yu's brows darkened, and everyone was silent. It was conceivable what the Queen Mother would do next.
Xie Yu stood up and walked into the inner room. Chen Mi and the concubines were waiting respectfully outside.
里间
The Queen Mother sat on the bed with her head lowered, so her features could not be seen clearly.
But the gloomy aura around him had already filled the entire bedroom.
As soon as Xie Yu stepped in, he heard the empress dowager's eerie voice suddenly sounded.
If you listen carefully, you can actually hear deep hatred hidden in that voice.
"Your Majesty, my dear son, you ordered me to keep the news of Huan'er's death from me. Your Majesty, you deceived me so miserably, so miserably."
The Queen Mother spoke without asking the reason, questioning Xie Yu word by word.
Xie Yu paused, then walked forward. When he got closer and saw the empress dowager's pale face, he was silent for two seconds.
"Mother, my sister was killed by bandits. I ordered you to keep it a secret because I didn't want you to be sad. Mother, the dead are gone. My sister is dead."
Before Xie Yu finished speaking, he saw the empress dowager suddenly raise her head.
Her eyes were bloodshot, like a wild beast, with an expression as if she wanted to eat someone, which made people shudder.
After learning of the eldest princess' death, the empress dowager seemed to have aged seven or eight years in just two hours.
The face that was carefully cared for in the past lost all its luster in an instant.
The Queen Mother broke her leg and couldn't get up, so she could only pound the bed hard.
She stretched out her hand and pointed at Xie Yu, who was standing there with an expressionless face.
"Your Majesty, Huan'er is your sister. You have been siblings for thirty years. Now, Xuanyuan Jing said that my Huan'er was tortured to death by horse bandits. This is simply nonsense. Even if it was horse bandits, how could they dare to attack Huan'er, the eldest princess? There must be something fishy about this matter. Your Majesty, I want you to investigate it thoroughly and not be perfunctory about it."
Xie Yu frowned and looked at the empress dowager, whose eyes no longer had the kindness and respect they once had.
Now, there is only endless coldness and a hint of impatience.
"Mother, I think it's best to stop here."
The Queen Mother's gaze fell on Xie Yu, and it also grew colder little by little.
At this moment, a silent confrontation between mother and son is quietly unfolding.
for a while
The Queen Mother suddenly burst into laughter. This was the first time Xie Yu had ever seen her behave in such an unruly manner.
He suddenly felt that his father had a bad eye for a woman like his mother.
For the first time, Xie Yu inexplicably felt a sense of disgust.
The Queen Mother's laughter became more and more terrifying, and just listening to it was frightening.
"Well, you are worthy of being the good emperor I trained. Hahaha, I tell you, someone must pay for Huan'er's life. I will never let Xuanyuan Jing go, never..."
From the ruthlessness contained in the word "never", one can tell that the Queen Mother is determined to fight Xuanyuan Jing to the death.
The Queen Mother was certain that it was Xuanyuan Jing who had murdered the Princess, and she swore in her heart that Xuanyuan Jing would pay for his crime with blood.
Xie Yu looked at the empress dowager who had lost her mind and his face darkened.
"Mother, Xuanyuan Kingdom has been attached to our country for many years. Although Xuanyuan Jing is not favored, he must not get into trouble in Xie Kingdom. Now, everyone in the world knows that Xuanyuan Jing was seriously injured and bedridden in order to save the princess. Everyone in the world praises him for his loyalty and righteousness. The people I sent have already found out about this matter. There is a little Lu around the princess who survived by chance and can testify that this matter has nothing to do with Xuanyuan Jing. Mother, everything is just your speculation."
The Queen Mother seemed to have heard some joke and stared at Xie Yu grimly.
"Speculation, Your Majesty, no one knows a son better than his mother. What a flawless case, Your Majesty, you just don't want to investigate further. I am old, not confused, right? Is this a trap set by you and Xuanyuan Jing? Are you going to kill my Huan'er?"
Xie Yu said coldly, "Enough, mother, do you know what you are saying?"
In Xie Yu's cold and bloodthirsty eyes, the Queen Mother regained a trace of rationality.
"Your Majesty, I just want to ask you one question: Do you have anything to do with Huan'er's death?"
Xie Yu was angry, looking at the unreasonableness, and questioned his queen mother.
"Mother, you are really confused. Do you know how much these words hurt the relationship between you and me? I did not do anything to my sister."
The Queen Mother still had doubts in her eyes
"Your Majesty, do you dare to swear in front of me that this matter has nothing to do with you?"
The Queen Mother forgot
The person standing in front of her was not the prince of the past, Xie Yu, but the emperor.
Even the Queen Mother cannot force him to swear such an oath to prove his innocence.
Damage to the power of God
Where does the emperor's face lie?
Naturally, Xie Yu would not agree to the Queen Mother's request that he swear an oath to prove his innocence.
"Mother, I pity you for losing your sister. You are extremely sad for a moment. I will pretend that I have never heard of you. There are witnesses and evidences in this matter. The horse bandits have all been killed by Xuanyuan Jing. Let's end it here. I will bury my sister in the imperial mausoleum and let her rest in peace."
for a while
The Queen Mother suddenly calmed down, as if her madness just now had never happened.
"Your Majesty, I am tired and don't want to say any more. When can Huan'er's body arrive in Kyoto? I want to see Huan'er for the last time and then let her be buried in the imperial mausoleum. Your Majesty will not grant me this small wish, right?"
Seeing the Queen Mother being so weird, Xie Yu's face became even colder.
"Mother, what are you talking about? I will not stop you from seeing my sister for the last time. However, if you want to see my sister's body, I'm afraid you need to make some preparations."
When the Queen Mother heard that Xie Huan's body had been so badly treated, she covered her chest with
"Okay, I need to rest now."
The Queen Mother stared at Xie Yu's back as he left
After all, he is not my own child, an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.
Next second
The Buddhist beads in the Queen Mother's hand had broken into pieces. The beads scattered all over the floor were just like the relationship between mother and son that could never be restored.
From this moment on, there is no recovery.
The Queen Mother looked at Wang Chu who was serving beside her.
"I really regret it. I should have strangled him to death back then."
Who is this guy? It's obvious.
Wang Chu stepped forward and said respectfully, "Queen Dowager, please calm down. You must not hurt yourself anymore. The imperial physician said that you are depressed and you must take good care of yourself."
The Queen Mother said, "Now, you are the only person I can trust. Huan'er was harmed by a traitor. I will never let Xuanyuan Jing, the thief, go."
Wang Chu leaned over and whispered to the Queen Mother.
"Empress Dowager, if you want revenge, why not do this..."
After Wang Chu finished speaking, a terrifying and fierce look flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes.
"I'll do as you say. I must make Xuanyuan Jing pay for Huan'er's life. It's a pity that my kind-hearted Huan'er fell victim to the evil hands of this villain. Damn it!"
Wang Chu looked at the Queen Mother's grief-stricken expression with a cold expression.
