The Queen Mother walked to the pavilion in front and sat down. She raised her hand and called to Zishu: "Come and sit down."
Yun Zishu walked over and sat down opposite her.
"What do you want to ask?"
Yun Zishu got straight to the point: "I recently heard someone say that my mother is of royal blood. Is this true or false?"
The Queen Mother's face changed slightly. She subconsciously turned her head and looked to make sure no one was eavesdropping. Then she lowered her voice and asked, "Who told you?"
Yun Zishu's expression was calm: "Can't your granddaughter know this question?"
"Is it Sicang?" The Queen Mother quickly guessed who it was. After being silent for a while, she slowly shook her head, "It's not that I can't let you know, but I'm worried that if you know too much, it will cause trouble."
Yun Zishu said calmly: "I'm not afraid of disaster."
The Queen Mother was slightly startled, then turned to look at the blooming flowers in the garden, a look of sadness flashed across her brows.
The eldest maid beside the Queen Mother walked in with a tea tray, poured tea for both the Queen Mother and Yun Zishu, and then left respectfully, staying far away so as not to disturb the conversation between the Queen Mother and the princess.
"Yes." The Queen Mother looked away and looked at the tea cup in front of her, "Your mother is of orthodox royal blood."
"Is the father's identity false?"
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and took a sip of tea, then nodded slowly: "Yes."
"So there is a legitimate reason for my father to want to kill me." Yun Zishu said calmly, "He cannot tolerate his identity being exposed, nor can he tolerate the existence of my daughter who has the blood of the queen in my body. I remind him all the time.
, he is a fake emperor."
The Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Yun Zishu, with fear and anger appearing in her eyes: "Your father wants to kill you?"
"yes."
"When did this happen?"
"Don't you understand, Queen Mother? My father kept trying to persuade me to go back to the Xiao family, just because he wanted me to die in the Xiao family." There was a bit of coldness in Yun Zishu's voice, "Mrs. Xiao's methods are ruthless, and Xiao Yunheng spoils his concubine to death.
Wife, General Xiao stays in the military camp all year round and doesn't care about family affairs. As long as I stay in the Xiao family for one day, sooner or later I will be forced to death by Mrs. Xiao."
The Queen Mother held the tea cup, and the expression on her face changed several times, ranging from shock to anger, regret to regret.
For a long time, she smiled sadly: "The Ai family made a wrong decision back then, which led to the tragic death of your mother. Over the years, the Ai family has regretted day and night, but there is nothing they can do."
Yun Zishu didn't say anything. It would be useless to say she was sorry now. Moreover, she was not qualified to take the place of her mother and decide whether to forgive the woman in front of her.
"Zishu." The Queen Mother's voice was silent, "Will you blame me?"
Yun Zishu thought for a while: "There is nothing to complain about. I don't know what happened back then. I don't know whether the Queen Mother had a reason to do this. I don't know the situation that the Queen Mother was in at that time. But no matter whether she complains or not, it can't be undone."
The Queen Mother's death will not diminish the guilt and self-blame in the Queen Mother's heart."
The Queen Mother fell silent. She wondered if she thought of that time, and her eyes were filled with sadness and despair.
Her eyes fell on the tea cup with a white background of celadon, and the Queen Mother's voice was full of sadness: "It's a pity that your royal brother did not survive, otherwise the Ai family would have made your royal brother the crown prince no matter what, so that the royal bloodline could be restored to legitimacy."
Yun Zishu's tone was calm: "Don't my granddaughter also have royal blood flowing through her body?"
Yes, Zishu also has royal blood flowing through her body. This is her only comfort...
The Queen Mother was suddenly startled. She heard the meaning of Yun Zishu's words and raised her eyes in disbelief: "You...what did you say?"
Yun Zishu looked at her steadily, with a look that was firm and cold that the Queen Mother had never seen before. Not to mention the prince and princess, even the Ninth Five Supreme Beings who were sitting on the dragon throne had never shown such a look in front of the Queen Mother.
So shocking.
The Queen Mother's heart suddenly beat wildly, because of Yun Zishu's terrible idea - under the system that inherited the system of male superiority and female inferiority several years ago, no woman has ever dared to have such a bold and unnatural idea.
"The Queen Mother heard it right and understood it correctly." Yun Zishu's voice was calm and cold, with a strength as hard as a rock. "If the Queen Mother wants to keep the Feng family and the royal bloodline, then there is only one choice."
Bring order out of chaos.
"You...let me think about it." The Queen Mother's voice was a little unsteady, obviously she still couldn't accept Yun Zishu's terrible idea, "I need to be quiet for a while."
Yun Zishu stood up and bent her knees slightly: "The Queen Mother can think about it slowly, but no matter what the Queen Mother's final decision is, it will not affect my decision, and no one can change my mind."
"Why are you……"
"The Queen Mother can think that I am trying to protect myself, or that I am ambitious." Yun Zishu said calmly, "The world is unfair to women, so I just want to do something that goes against the laws of heaven."
No one would believe her when she told her about her rebirth, so no one knew what she had experienced, so the reason for revenge was untenable. But in fact, Yun Zishu just wanted revenge.
Not only did she want the Xiao family to die without a burial place, but she also personally pulled her father from the throne and made him experience the feeling of falling from the clouds to hell.
To do all this, you must have enough power.
"Granddaughter, please leave first." Yun Zishu saluted, "If the Queen Mother wants to protect herself wisely, please tell the Feng family to stay away from me."
After saying this, she turned and left.
"Zishu." The Queen Mother spoke from behind her, "The Ai family can't protect themselves even if they try to protect themselves wisely. The Feng family is now a thorn in the Emperor's side. Blindly tolerant and low-key is destined to not last long, unless it is guaranteed that no one will fall into the Emperor's hands for generations to come.
Otherwise, even if your father doesn't kill them, Yun Chen will still not let go of the Feng family after he ascends the throne."
Yun Zishu said nothing and walked away without saying a word.
The Queen Mother stared at her slender back as if in a dream.
She had been secretly paying attention to this granddaughter, but she was not very close to Zishu in the past - the reason was that after her daughter left, her heart also died.
It's not that she doesn't know the emperor's thoughts. The Feng family is now a hidden danger that must be eliminated for the emperor, but the emperor dare not take action rashly. He is afraid that the Feng family will expose his identity as a fake emperor.
Both sides had scruples, so they deceived themselves and others to maintain a sense of superiority and inferiority between the emperor and his ministers. The emperor temporarily left the Feng family alone, and the Feng family also tolerated it wisely. Even if they had military power, they would not go to the battlefield or eliminate civil strife, leaving all opportunities for meritorious service.
They were all left to the Xiao family, whom the emperor trusted.
But on the surface, the emperor was temporarily staying away from the Feng family, but secretly he wanted to put Yun Zishu to death?
He wanted to get rid of the last bit of blood left by the queen.
The Queen Mother couldn't bear it.
"If the Feng family is destined to be feared by the emperor and want to get rid of it at all costs, then why not take a risk?" The Queen Mother seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be laughing at herself, "If you don't take risks, you will only live a few more years and take a gamble.
...Maybe it will succeed.”
Anyway, even if you lose the bet, the outcome is nothing more than death... There is no worse outcome, right?
"As long as the Feng family is willing to stand behind the princess, this humble position can guarantee that what the princess wants to do will definitely succeed." A deep and cold voice sounded, "This is also the greatest hope for the Queen Mother and the Feng family."
The Queen Mother was startled and looked up at Sicang who was standing in front of her at some point. A complicated color flashed across her eyes: "Just do whatever she wants. You should protect her well and the Aijia will figure out the rest."
