The comb fell to the ground, and Princess Rong Hua knelt down and said in panic:
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother...I...I am doing this all for your sake! The Crown Prince...The Crown Prince is your obstacle. Without him, you...you will..."
"Shut up!" Queen Mother Lin slammed the dressing table, turned around and sighed, "Why...do you think I really want to be the Daxuan Emperor?
"I have become the emperor, who will be the prince? Will you do it?"
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother..." Princess Rong Hua knelt forward, threw herself at the Queen Mother's knees and said, "Without you, Daxuan would not have the prosperous age it is today. Regardless of merit, ability, or the will of the people, you should be in charge of the world.
!”
"What an evil! How dare you speak so shamelessly!" Queen Mother Lin stood up and angrily shouted, "Why, in your eyes, you only see me fighting for fame and fortune, you only see me using power and tactics, but why can't you see me?
Such good intentions!
"Rong Hua, do you really think that I have done so many things just to ascend to the top of Daxuan's power and wear a yellow robe?
"You are wrong, you have no idea what we are facing," Queen Mother Lin shouted excitedly, "Daxuan is more dangerous now than ever before!
"Do you think that those powerful ministers who secretly opposed me and forced me to delegate power only really want the emperor to return to power?
"Wrong! Their hidden intentions are extremely terrifying. As long as my rights are gone, the emperor will be at their mercy in the future."
"These invisible dangers are the most deadly dangers. For this reason, I do not hesitate to taint my innocence and spread rumors in order to bring those invisible dangers to the surface and eliminate hidden dangers for the emperor.
"I do this not to be worthy of the ancestors of the Li family, but because I want this prosperous age to continue and not let it decline in my hands!"
"Mother...Mother..." Princess Ronghua looked surprised. She never expected that her own ideals and the Queen Mother's ideals were so far apart.
"I have done so many things and used so many methods, not for myself!" Queen Mother Lin smacked her lips repeatedly, "Ao'er is gentle by nature and is indecisive in situations. Now it is because of me that I can intimidate the court, but one day I will leave.
I, then he will definitely be manipulated by powerful officials and be in danger.
"At the beginning, the reason I made him emperor was because I hoped he would change. Now I don't let him do it because he hasn't changed, and also to protect him.
"Although my grandson Li Xun is talented and intelligent, he also has some political acumen," Queen Mother Lin shook her head and said, "But he is too violent and willful. If he is allowed to rule the world in the future, he may cause even greater disasters!
"Rong Hua, do you understand?" Queen Mother Lin glared at Princess Rong Hua and said with hatred, "I just want to find a qualified king for Daxuan, but I have never thought about ascending the throne as king myself!
"
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother..." After hearing this, Princess Rong Hua finally understood her situation. She cried bitterly and begged with regret on her face, "My child... I know I was wrong! Please give me another chance."
"Mother...it's just a child who can get it wrong. I've done so many things in the past, and I think it's all for the sake of my mother. Please spare me this time, wuwu..."
"Alas!" Queen Mother Lin sighed and said, "Rong Hua, are you really doing it for me? You clearly know that Shen Tiande is mine, but you still let Shen Qian take his life!"
"Ah?" Princess Rong Hua looked innocent, "Shen Tiande...is yours? Impossible? Isn't he a royalist? And he went to grab the iron coffin. He clearly wanted to do you harm. That’s why I asked Shen Qian to kill him, let him experience the feeling of being betrayed by his relatives, and punish him properly..."
"That's enough!" Queen Mother Lin shook her head and sighed, "I really regret not teaching you properly. I only let you learn my tactics, but I forgot how to teach you how to be a human being!
"From today onwards, you and your consort will be banned from listening to Chao Guan, and from now on you will chant sutras and pray for blessings, and forgive yourself!"
Tingchao Temple is an abandoned Taoist temple, which was later used to imprison the royal family. It was similar to the clan mansion in the Qing Dynasty. Anyone who entered without special circumstances would be sentenced to life imprisonment.
"Ah? No... no..." Princess Rong Hua fell to the ground and begged, "I don't want to go to the Chaozhou Temple. I beg my mother to be merciful. My mother is merciful. Rong Hua will never dare to do it again. I will never dare to do it again." , Wuwuwu..."
Listening to her daughter's plea, Queen Mother Lin looked up and lamented, with an inadvertent flash of moisture in the corners of her eyes.
However, she finally waved her hand, and several eunuchs appeared next to her and pulled Princess Ronghua down...
"No, don't...Mother, I haven't been able to comb your hair yet, Queen..."
As Princess Rong Hua's hoarse pleas became farther and farther away, Queen Mother Lin's expression returned to normal, revealing supreme majesty.
At this time, a person suddenly appeared from behind the screen inside the Queen Mother's bedroom.
This person was wearing a light-colored monk's robe and a monk's hat. He was actually a young nun.
"How is it," the Queen Mother did not look back, still looking at the direction where Princess Rong Hua was dragged away, and asked, "Are you satisfied?"
"Um……"
The young nun nodded slightly, and as a ray of sunlight shone through, her delicate face was revealed. It was none other than Shen Tiande's daughter - Shen Qian!!!
Seeing that the Queen Mother was motionless, Shen Qian couldn't help but ask softly: "Is my father really yours?"
"Yes," the Queen Mother replied without hesitation, "when your father first took refuge in me, he only made one condition to me, and that was to keep you four brothers and sisters safe.
"Your eldest brother's death was an accident, but I can guarantee the safety of the three of you."
"Father……"
Thinking of her father's death in her own hands, Shen Qian shed tears of regret.
However, Princess Ronghua used the lives of the three Shen brothers to force her to submit. If Mr. Shen did not die, then her three brothers would die.
"Don't give up on yourself," the Queen Mother said, "Your father's death was all Rong Hua's fault and had nothing to do with you. From now on... just follow me!
"You are still so young and you still have many meaningful things to do!"
"The Queen Mother..." Shen Qian was stunned for a few seconds, and then hurriedly knelt down and knelt down, "Chen Qian is willing to follow the Queen Mother and listen to the Queen Mother's orders!"
"Really?" the Queen Mother asked, "What if...I let you marry Xu Zun?"
"This..." Shen Qian's body trembled, as if she had been struck by lightning.
"Don't worry," the Queen Mother motioned Shen Qian to get up, "I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do.
"To tell you the truth, my Daxuan... lacks a female prime minister," the Queen Mother's eyes flashed with a deep light, "Only in this way can we check and balance the cabinet."
"Ah?" After hearing this, Shen Qian's blood boiled and she even forgot to thank her...
…
After burning a stick of incense, the Queen Mother entered the main hall of Wanfu Palace alone. After pressing the switch button on a certain stone pillar, the secret door that had been used for hiding immediately opened.
When the natural disaster occurred, the Queen Mother hid in this secret room.
At this moment, the stone door opened, and when the Queen Mother entered the secret room, she saw an old Taoist priest with silver hair and an immortal air sitting cross-legged and meditating on the futon on the inside.
Hearing the noise, the old Taoist priest stood up quickly, saluted the Queen Mother Lin respectfully, and shouted "See the Queen Mother".
"I feel sorry for you, Master Qiu!" The Queen Mother also made a respectful gesture of Xuan Dao and said, "All the arrangements have been made. The Da Xuan Navy will set out for the East China Sea in the near future. When the internal and external troubles are relieved, it will be the day you leave the customs.
