Eunuch Lin's heart skipped a beat and he was shocked. He immediately realized what he was doing and hurriedly followed the order.
Yu Xiunan always lowered his head, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed an almost invisible smile.
The queen, who was in the cold palace, was forcibly thrown into a prison before she could even figure out what was going on.
This matter spread quickly, but one day, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the whole city heard about the fact that the queen sent people to assassinate the emperor but failed and was thrown into the sky prison.
After Ye Fuxun heard the news, he immediately figured out what he had been unable to figure out before. It turned out that this was a scene controlled by Yu Xiunan.
"I have to say that Yu Xiunan is indeed ruthless. The queen is already in such a state of despair that he still wants to kill them all."
Bai Yuxian opened his deep eyes, looked at the red tiles with raised eaves in the distance, and said calmly: "So, this is a terrible opponent, so you have to deal with it carefully."
He was worried about Ye Fuxun. Getting rid of Yu Xiunan was not an easy task.
Ye Fuxun thought for a while and said, "How about finding a reason to leave while the emperor is still here and go back to Dongchen?"
"Yu Xiunan will definitely use some means to stop you," Bai Yuxian shook his head. "I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the Dongchen border by then, and we will be intercepted by him."
The biggest problem now is that in other people's territory, if you don't have power, you will be restricted everywhere.
Ye Fuxun knew that what Bai Yuxian said was true, and couldn't help but frown: "What should we do?"
"The only option is to destroy the treasure, or kill Yu Xiunan." Bai Yuxian said word by word, with a slightly serious tone. Neither of these two things is easy.
The day after the queen was imprisoned, King Jing came to Tianlao to visit her.
Putting on prison uniform, the queen with disheveled hair no longer looked like her former glory and looked slightly haggard.
At first glance, King Jing Yunanjun suddenly felt that he was very strange. In fact, if you think about it carefully, they have always been strangers to each other.
"Queen mother!"
The queen looked up at him, stood up slowly, and a smile slowly appeared on her pale face. "Juan'er, are you finally willing to come and see your mother?"
He had never taken the initiative to see him before when he was in the Leng Palace or even in the Qifeng Palace. Unexpectedly, he would be treated differently when he arrived at the Tianlao.
The queen was happy. But Yu Nanjun didn't look half happy. He walked into the cell, looked at the queen, and said lightly: "I am here to say goodbye to my mother."
Firstly, the queen was quickly beheaded, and secondly, he was leaving for Quzhou in the northwest in a few days. This would be the last time for their mother and son to see each other, so it was natural to say goodbye.
Yu Nanjun said: "I want to go to the northwest to be the magistrate."
"Is it such a good time to go to the northwest?"
"Because I want to stay away from here, forget the sad things in the past, and start over."
Yu Nanjun did not put it bluntly, but the queen already understood that the person he really wanted to avoid was her mother. And the sad past events he talked about were also caused by her.
"You hate me so much? You would rather go away to a foreign country, rather have nothing, than stay away from me?"
Yu Nanjun originally didn't want to mention those long-ago things anymore, but now the memory hit him, and the pain accumulated in his chest, making him feel even more hated.
"Yes, I have always hated you. I hate that you do whatever it takes to gain power and status, regardless of family ties. I hate that you have nothing but the word power in your eyes!
When I was five years old, in order to compete for favor and attract my father, you poured cold water on me in the middle of winter, causing me to have a high fever all day and night.
In order for your father to pay attention to me as the eldest son and make me the prince as soon as possible, you have forced me to do all kinds of homework since I was three years old. If I refused to read, you would beat me with a cane without mercy.
.
In addition to being familiar with poems and books, I was also required to ride a horse and shoot arrows. I was only six years old, and I already had countless scars on my body, from stabbing with swords, falling from riding horses, and being beaten by you. There were so many scars that I can’t even remember them.
When was it left?
Except for you, I have never seen any mother treat her children like this! From a very young age, I no longer regard you as a mother. In my eyes, you are a cold-blooded and ruthless devil!"
The queen couldn't believe it, she actually heard her son call herself "the devil".
Two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks. She was harsh on her son, it could be said that she was too harsh. She knew that the child might hate her for this, but she always thought that when he grew up, he would be able to understand
own painstaking efforts.
"My mother is strict with me, and I can understand it because she hopes that her son will succeed. After I became sensible, I no longer hate you because of the suffering I suffered as a child.
But that year you killed Rou'er while I was out. She was the woman I loved most, but you killed her cruelly! How could I not hate you? At that time, I really wanted to kill you with my own hands, for Rou's sake.
Take revenge!"
The queen seemed to have lost all her strength and sat limply on the ground. She only thought that everything she did was for Yu Nanjun's good, but she never thought that what she did would make him hate her so much.
"In that case, now that I am sentenced to be beheaded, I have fulfilled your wish."
Yu Nanjun is a person who easily softens his heart. After all, the Queen is his biological mother. At that time, he was filled with hatred and wanting to kill her was just an impulse. Now that he sees her in such a state of desolation, he is actually reluctant to let her die.
However, things have come to this, and no one can change anything.
The mother and son were like this, one sitting and the other standing, silent.
After a long time, Yu Nanjun said: "Mother, my son and I are leaving!"
The queen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, slowly turned her back, nodded and said: "Let's go. After going to the northwest, take good care of yourself. I hope you can start over as you wish."
Yu Nanjun bowed deeply, gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
When I returned to the Prince's Mansion, it was already dark. When I got off the horse, I saw a man squatting at the door.
It was Helan Wan'er.
She had been waiting for nearly an hour, and her legs were sore from standing, so she sat down on the stone steps and dozed off while waiting for Yu Nanjun to come back.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves approaching, she opened her eyes drowsily, and under the dim light, a slender figure walked over.
"You're back." Helan Wan'er stood up suddenly and looked at him with a smile.
But Yu Nanjun seemed to have no expression, his face was indifferent. "What are you doing sitting at the door?"
Helan Wan'er ignored his indifference and remained as gentle as ever. "I'm waiting for you. I'll go and ask the servants to serve food."
