When Li Yu heard the palace maid's voice, he turned around slowly and saw the queen coming with the support of the eunuch.
The heavy makeup concealed the queen's slightly pale face, but she could not hide her eyes which were red and swollen from crying.
Li Yu bowed and cupped his hands, but a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "My son, I wish to express my regards to my mother."
The Queen pursed her lips and passed by Li Yu without saying a word, while he followed her into the palace while maintaining his bowing posture.
After sitting down, the queen looked at Li Yu who was bowing respectfully and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Today the imperial sister is getting married, and my son was sent to the palace gate on the order of his father. I came here to report to my mother that everything went well."
"Humph, I am very happy to see you."
"Isn't the Queen happy about this great joy?" Li Yu stood up and looked directly at the Queen.
When the queen heard this, her anger surged upwards, but when she saw Li Yu's indifferent eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
"Happy." The queen squeezed out two words through her teeth.
Li Yu smiled lightly and said: "My son must be happy to think of his mother. This is a good marriage given by the emperor himself. When my sister marries the Turkic Khan, she will be as noble as you."
"That's enough." The Empress interrupted Li Yu, "Go down, I don't want to see you."
"I originally wanted to say a few more words, but since the queen mother doesn't want to see my son, let's forget it. Anyway, I've long been used to it." Li Yu even had a smile on his face, "My son, please leave."
"Stop!" the Queen shouted.
Li Yu slowly turned around and looked at the queen without speaking, just waiting for her to say something.
"You all stand down." The Queen has not lost her mind yet. It is well known that their mother and son are at odds, but it is better not to let anyone hear what she says.
The queen did not want to keep Li Yu, but she did not send Li Ling off and wanted to find out more about her daughter's marriage from him.
"What other instructions does the queen have?" Li Yu asked when he saw that all the maids and eunuchs had left.
"Did Ling'er bring many people and things?" the queen asked with concern.
Li Yu sneered and said, "Didn't my mother say she wouldn't care about this matter before?"
"That's what I said out of anger. After all, Ling'er is my daughter. Isn't it okay for me to just ask her?"
"The Queen Mother can naturally intervene. Don't worry, her going to the Turks represents the face of our court. The dowry is very generous, and all the people who should be brought along in terms of manpower are brought. Even if the father is angry again, he will not treat her harshly."
Hearing what Li Yu said, the Queen's expression softened: "Did she cry when she left?"
"No." After Li Yu finished speaking, he looked at the Queen, "Since the Queen cares so much, why don't you give her a gift?"
"Forget it." The queen closed her eyes and tried not to let the tears fall.
Li Yu sighed deeply: "No matter what she did, she is still so important in the heart of the queen mother."
"That's natural, she is my daughter."
"Yes, she is your daughter, everyone knows it." Li Yu said with self-deprecation in his tone, "Only she is."
The queen opened her eyes and glared at Li Yu: "What do you mean by this? If you hadn't bit her and wouldn't let go, your father wouldn't be so cruel."
"Is this really what the Queen Mother thinks in her heart?" Li Yu felt that his heart had become numb, and no matter what she said, he could not make him have any mood swings.
Li Yu looked directly at the queen with sharp eyes: "Li Ling owes everything to his mother's guidance."
"It was you who forced her." The Queen roared, "If it weren't for you and your father had grounded her, how could she have done such a thing."
"Hasn't Queen Mother seen through Li Ling's ambitions yet?" Li Yu looked indifferent, "I haven't understood since I was a child, why I give in to her in everything, and she still treats me as a thorn in her side. It turns out that because I am the prince, she thinks
The position of Crown Prince belongs to her."
"Nonsense, Ling'er wouldn't have such an idea." The queen defended loudly, "You are trying to incriminate me."
"If the poison was put into my food, I can also understand that she just hates me and wants to take revenge." Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's a pity that she was smart but was misled, so she took advantage of me.
The people around you are in the diet of the great emperor brother."
"That little eunuch is dead, maybe we can ask him clearly."
"The queen mother is confused, but the father is not. Li Ling took advantage of his family and used it to threaten him. He knew that he would definitely die, but he had too much conscience to mention Lingfang Palace in his suicide note."
The queen looked at Li Yu and suddenly realized: "It was you. It was you who designed your father to send her away for marriage."
Li Yu looked at the queen and was silent for a moment before saying: "I admit, my original intention was to test whether she still has any sibling affection for me."
"You finally admitted it." The Empress was so angry that her face was distorted, "I should have known that you were cruel and ruthless, and that you would bring disaster to the people around you. If I had known that I should have strangled you to death.
yes."
"The queen mother is really 'kind and soft-hearted' in sparing me this life." Li Yu said with sarcasm, "Li Ling wants the elder brother's life. She has no choice but to take my life. Is it just that I am ruthless?"
The queen was so angry that the look on her face changed again and again: "She is your biological sister, you sent her to marry her, please touch your conscience."
"She mutilated her siblings and had ambitions that she shouldn't have. These two points were exposed in front of the father, which destined her to go on a road of no return." Li Yu's face was filled with chills, "Tiger poison cannot eat its children, and the father will not kill her, so
Letting her get married is the best arrangement."
The queen pointed at Li Yu and was so angry that she couldn't speak: "You, you, you..."
Li Yu sneered and said: "By the way, there is something that my father didn't tell you. The Turkic Khan is older than my father. It is said that there were two Yan clans before, and the emperor's sister was the third."
"You are so cruel!" The queen covered her heart and her eyes were red.
"My son was once a kind and generous person, but I am not suitable for being born in the royal family. Isn't it bad to be ruthless? It's not what my mother wanted." After saying this, Li Yu turned around and looked up, laughing and left.
The queen fell down on the chair, trembling with anger, and finally shed tears helplessly.
"Did I do something wrong? Did I harm Ling'er?" the queen asked herself.
Thinking of Li Ling, the Queen was very sad, but when the scene just appeared in front of her eyes, Li Yu's expressionless face and indifferent eyes seemed to be right in front of her. She couldn't help but cover her heart with her hands, feeling unbearable pain.
It was as if my heart had been ripped out instantly.
Li Yu walked out of Kunyi Palace, as if the depression that had been blocking his heart had dissipated. It seemed that Ruan Mianmian was right. Blind tolerance could not solve the problem. If he did not act decisively, it would break the problem that had trapped him for many years.
