In Zhiyang Palace, a cry of surprise came, and Queen Mother Xia's expression completely changed.
How can it be?
Looking at Lao Ai's confession, Queen Mother Xia felt dizzy. Even when she learned that she was being plotted against her and her life was in danger, Queen Mother Xia had never felt this dizzy before.
In fact, the words in the confession had a huge impact on Queen Mother Xia.
The mastermind behind all this turned out to be Cheng Xi, the grandson she devoted all her efforts to training.
"This is impossible. It must be a false confession. The purpose is just to alienate my relationship with Chenglong." Empress Dowager Xia tremblingly bent down to pick up the bamboo slips she had thrown away. However, her palm seemed to have lost its grip.
Even though I have no strength, I can't pick it up.
It seemed that the bamboo slips recording Lao Ai's confession had a huge weight, and it was not her body that was crushed, but her mind.
How could it be Chenglong?
At this time, it was not only the Queen Mother Xia who changed her color, but also Han Ji. The confession also dealt a huge blow to the mother.
only······
"Queen Mother, will that person die? Just like Su Qin back then?" Han Ji said in despair as if she was grasping the last straw.
"Death time? Yes, it is death time. Someone must have planned and arranged all this for a long time. The purpose is..." The Queen Mother Xia couldn't say any more.
Emotionally, she was willing to believe that Lao Ai was just dead, but intellectually, she had already believed Lao Ai's confession, and Cheng Yu was definitely not innocent in this matter.
This is, how could Cheng Yu do this, she is her grandmother, and even more so...
As Queen Mother Xia thought about it, she felt that something in her heart was rapidly draining away. In the blink of an eye, her heart, which had been stimulated by the true energy, felt cold.
"Ling'er, go and kill that Lao Ai." Empress Dowager Xia suddenly realized something and said to Bai Ling.
"Queen Mother, don't you suspect that this man is dead? If you kill him, wouldn't it be in line with the wishes of the person behind him?" Bai Ling said calmly.
"As long as it is confirmed that he is destined to die, this matter cannot be involved in Chenglong under any circumstances." Queen Mother Xia said.
Cheng Yu could plot against her, but she couldn't really ignore Cheng Yu's life and death.
"What about this confession?" Bai Ling asked, looking at the bamboo slips tightly held in the hands of Queen Mother Xia.
"No one has read this confession." Queen Mother Xia said coldly and looked at Bai Ling.
"Yes." Bai Ling smiled coldly in his heart when he saw the threatening look in Queen Mother Xia's eyes.
After all, Cheng Xi is his biological grandson. Even if Cheng Xi did such a treacherous thing, he still wanted to protect him. But these days, I have been busy in Zhiyang Palace, and for several days, I have been guarding you day and night.
What comes next to me is your threat.
Although I never came here to get your approval, I just accepted his instructions, but your attitude is still very dislikeable.
Bai Ling's mind was racing, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
At this moment, a hurried figure ran in from outside. Bai Ling looked over and saw that the person who came was none other than Cheng Xi.
"Grandma, Cheng Yu is unjust. Lao Ai did all this behind my back. I didn't know he wanted to murder you, grandma." Cheng Yu ran to Queen Mother Xia and knelt down in front of Queen Mother Xia with a thud, panicking.
cried in confusion.
"How did you know about this?" Queen Mother Xia looked at Cheng Xi and asked.
"Grandma, what did you say?" Cheng Qiao asked in astonishment.
"How did you know about Lao Ai?" Queen Mother Xia asked.
At this time, Queen Mother Xia was not only heartbroken, but also endlessly disappointed.
Being a ruthless person for the sake of power. Although such a person is cruel, it is not incomprehensible.
However, it is unforgivable if a person who pursues power is not only cruel but also stupid.
And the current Cheng Xi is like this, not only cruel, but also very stupid.
This is completely self-inflicted.
"Grandma, I..." Cheng Yu also realized his problem at this time. How did he know? It seemed difficult to explain clearly for a while.
"Do you know what you need to do now?" Even though she was extremely disappointed with Cheng Yu, the Queen Mother Xia was not willing to see Cheng Yu fall into a situation of no return. After all, Cheng Yu was the one she had devoted all her efforts to for more than ten years.
grandson.
"Grandma, I..." Cheng Yu still didn't know what to say at this time. He realized that Queen Mother Xia had already understood the truth.
"What you need to do most now is to do nothing." Queen Mother Xia said.
Bai Ling glanced at the scene of the ancestral kindness and grandson filial piety, sneered in her heart and walked out of the hall. At this time, she was about to accept the order and do the thing of silence.
But, why should I listen to you? Bai Ling thought about it and walked towards the side hall where Lao Ai was imprisoned.
There, there was already a person waiting for her.
"Madam, have you thought about it?" Zhao Gao, who had been waiting here for a long time, said with a smile when he saw Bai Ling return.
"You can take him away," Bai Ling said.
Zhao Gao had already arrived here, but Bai Ling was still hesitant about whether to hand over Lao Ai.
After all, no matter how bad the relationship was, that man was still her nominal husband, and she didn't want to push him to a point of eternal destruction. But when she saw the threatening look in Queen Mother Xia's eyes, the last trace of unbearable feeling in Bai Ling's heart could not be overcome.
It just disappeared.
They are a family, and who am I?
If I don't even care about myself, who else will care about me.
A certain thought that had arisen in Bai Ling's mind countless times and that could not be known to outsiders appeared in Bai Ling's mind again.
However, compared to the past, she quickly extinguished the thought that should not exist every time. Now, she has no intention of cutting off the thought, but allows it to grow until it destroys her sanity.
"Thank you, madam." Zhao Gao said.
"Isn't your Majesty worried that someone might bite you back?" Bai Ling said.
At this time, Lao Ai fell into the hands of Luo Yu. Although it was possible to prevent Zhiyang Palace from killing people, it could not prevent them from biting back.
"Some things don't matter just what you say, it depends on the evidence." Zhao Gao said.
Zhao Gao was also quite surprised by the existence of Bai Ling. His methods of instigating rebellion were too clever, and he was able to take someone like Bai Ling for his own use. For a while, Zhao Gao didn't know how to describe his person.
Master.
Is this considered clever or unscrupulous? Zhao Gao thought strangely in his heart.
