The smile in Queen Tao's eyes also froze. She coughed and felt a little embarrassed sitting on the phoenix couch. In the end, she had to come out to smooth things over.
"Yu Shu, your brother Lishuang just came back from Lingnan. He must be tired. How about you go back today and come back to talk to me tomorrow?"
Jiang Yushu bit her lip and looked very aggrieved. At this moment, in front of Queen Tao, she appeared to be extremely well-behaved. She just nodded and left Shufang Palace.
The palace instantly became quiet, and the air pressure was terribly low. Xia Lishuang's eyes were filled with ice, and she just looked at Queen Tao.
"Queen Mother, I need an explanation!"
Queen Tao looked at her son and felt that iron could not become steel.
"Explanation?! What explanation?!? I asked you to leave the Lingnan matter alone, come back first, and leave it to the Wen family to deal with later? It's better for you. Not only did you bring that woman back without telling me, but you also showed your face to me.
Already?!"
Xia Lishuang's eyes narrowed slightly, but she suddenly smiled.
"My mother is so anxious to marry me to the Jiang family, is it to seize the throne? My father is on a military parade in Northern Xinjiang, and the Jiang family is now in control of the court. Even the fourth brother can only be a civil servant now.
Academician Yuan Ge was helping me... Could it be that my mother wanted me to overthrow the capital before my father came back, so that my father could see with his own eyes the throne he had worked so hard to regain... That's it.
It fell into the hands of thieves, right?"
Xia Lishuang has always been a person who doesn't like to talk about things too directly. If the other party insists on showing off his cards, he will definitely be extremely angry.
Queen Tao was stunned and quickly looked around, "You're crazy!"
Xia Lishuang shook her head, "I'm not crazy, it's you, Queen Mother, who is crazy!"
Queen Tao froze on the spot, and her tone suddenly became harsh.
"Xia Lishuang! Shuang'er! What did the Queen Mother tell you when you went to Sichuan and Shu before?! Ah? You have completely forgotten it now, haven't you?! You...I don't care what you do! You must! You must press me
Keep walking safely on the road paved for you, otherwise... I will crash to death in Shufang Palace!"
Xia Lishuang froze on the spot and put on an ugly smile.
"Mother, are you still lying to me?"
"You lied to me and said that I was the child of Emperor Le'an. You lied to me and said that Anguo endured humiliation and hardship for so many years just to be able to restore the country! You lied to me and said that my father is simply ambitious..."
Xia Lishuang cried out every word. He took a step back, and in a fit of anger, he actually vomited a mouthful of blood!
"But have you ever thought about it... Growing up, it was my father who taught me poetry, etiquette, and etiquette. It was my father who taught me how to ride, shoot, and hunt. It was also my father who taught me how to study classics, discuss history, and go to court! Father!
It’s true that the emperor demoted me to Jiangrao County, and he was not a good father, but it was Ran Ran who brought me back to the capital from Jiangrao County step by step, and step by step to where I am today!"
"You asked me to give up on them, and you asked me to usurp power and seize the throne. How do you ask me to face Ran Ran under the hundreds of years of loess?! How to face my own conscience!"
"Mother, please tell me honestly, am I really... not your father's biological child?!"
Xia Lishuang pressed forward step by step, and Queen Tao's body became limp and she suddenly fell to the ground.
She gritted her teeth, looked at Xia Lishuang angrily, and said fiercely, "No!"
After hearing the answer he wanted to hear most, Xia Lishuang suddenly felt relieved. He smiled. When he opened his eyes again, the look he looked at Queen Tao had become extremely peaceful.
"Mother, the war in Southwest China is over. I actually went to Le'an County... Of course, I also found some things... If my mother really only uses me as a tool for revenge, there is no need to do so. I am yours.
My child, I am also a distinguished prince of Rongguo, and I will not be driven around like a dog by others!"
