Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 764
Seeing that Pei Cairen was still hesitating, the Empress Dowager smiled softly, shook her head and said, "Forget it, there is such a son as there is a mother. You are a weak and incompetent mother, how can your son be so prosperous?" ? Since you are willing to be a talented person for the rest of your life and become a lingering stain in his life, then I will forget it—”

After finishing speaking, he grabbed the medicine bottle and called out, "Zhang Fu, see off the guests!"

"Hey." The outside responded, and Pei Cairen immediately got up and grabbed the medicine bottle: "Wait!"

There was a cold light in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she waved her hand outside: "It's none of your business, step back!"

"Yes." Zhang Fu replied, and the footsteps slowly faded away.

Pei Cairen held the medicine bottle and turned it around, but he didn't see what it was. He just sneered and said, "I'll go and give Zhao Xiwei the medicine, and then Zhao Xiwei will die. I'm the murderer, and you Pick it clean, just waiting to reap the benefits, Empress Dowager, your calculation is too good."

"Very good." The queen mother picked up the prayer beads again, "You are not as stupid as I thought."

"I have already been used by Concubine Shu once, and the same story repeats itself. If I still fall for it, I deserve to die."

The queen mother twisted the beads expressionlessly: "Don't worry, the medicine won't take effect immediately, and it will take at least seven days. After seven days, who can find the clues? Who would have thought it was you? Besides, this is just It's just an aphrodisiac, and it won't let her die suddenly—"

After a pause, she squeezed the biggest prayer bead tightly, "Even if she died suddenly, it was because of her obsession with lust/desire/debauchery/debauchery. What does it have to do with you?"

A round Buddhist bead was counted on her fingertips, but the words she said had nothing to do with Buddhism. Such a strong sense of contrast made people feel a little creepy.

Pei Cairen's eyes followed her fingers and landed on the Buddhist bead, and he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

That string of long Buddhist beads was actually carved into small skulls with small jade stones!

"You, you, you..." Pei Cairen couldn't say a complete sentence for a moment.

The Empress Dowager's face was calm, with a rare and strange look: "Why?"

Pei Cairen was tongue-tied and choked out a sentence: "Buddhist pure land, you are not afraid of making taboos!"

The queen mother looked at the idiot's expression, gave her a cold look, and asked slowly, "Who told you that Buddhism must be a pure land?"

Pei Cairen was questioned.

The queen mother laughed mockingly again: "Look at you, do you know why you can't play the emperor? You don't understand the rules of survival in the harem. Wherever there are people, there will be struggle and killing, and it is impossible to be clean. Do you think Turning over, wanting to take power, wanting revenge, but not daring to kill the killer, stretching out your head for fear of death, shrinking your head for fear of pain, that's why we ended up in such a crushing defeat."

Pei Cairen was stunned.

The Empress Dowager put away the beads and fiddled with them carelessly in the palm of her hand, her tone lazily said: "For the sake of your usefulness to me, I only remind you a few words, otherwise you will be stupid, and I am also happy." Watch the fun."

After a pause, he raised his eyes again and looked at her: "You have been a noble concubine for so long, and you have been in charge of the harem for so long, do you know what power is?"

"What?" Pei Cairen asked blankly, "Isn't power something that can make people look good?"

"Hmph..." The queen mother chuckled, with an uncontrollable greed on her face: "Power is a game of life and death. You can let anyone die if you want to die. Of course, if you can't play it , that is, if others want you to die, you have to die.”

There was a faint fire in her eyes, "If you have power, you must be able to kill, dare to kill, and kill without authorization. You don't dare to do this, and you don't dare to do that. If you hold onto power, isn't that the way to kill yourself?"

Pei Cairen's mind was in a daze after being told such a big reason, as if he had been poured into a bowl of ecstasy soup. He felt that what she said was true, but at the same time, he felt that something was wrong.

But there is one point that she felt was right in her heart: if she had been more ruthless at the beginning and directly killed Zhao Xiwei, she would not have to bear the blame that cannot be washed away.

Yes, power is a game of life and death, if you are reluctant to let others die, then others will let you die!

The queen mother saw that she was moved, and said again: "Do you want your son to be the emperor?"

Pei Cairen exclaimed in fright: "What are you talking about!"

With a cry, he suddenly felt pain as if a wound on his neck had burst, and hurriedly raised his hand to touch it, and faintly touched a trace of blood, and the hatred in his heart surged up again.

The queen mother looked at her with pain and hatred, and simply asked the last question: "You don't think that the king of Jin still has a second way to go? You have a criminal record, even if the emperor doesn't want to kill you for a while. Kill you, and when the little prince comes to the throne, he can still make you feel better? What do you think power is? Power is to cut grass and get rid of the roots. Get rid of you first, and the next step is to get rid of your son, so that he can be the emperor without any worries. Are you willing to die like this for nothing?"

"Of course I don't want to!" Pei Cairen clenched the medicine bottle in his hand, with a ready expression on his face.

The queen mother put the beads into her sleeves, smiled and nodded slowly: "In that case, you take this medicine and go to work as soon as possible. I heard that she will go to the palace for a banquet on the twentieth of this month. This is a good opportunity... ..."

"This month, twenty? Palace?" Pei Cairen was still a little unprepared, and his thinking was not very clear: "Is this possible?"

"Of course." The Empress Dowager said in a calm tone, "She's still poisoned, and then you can just watch the show."

Pei Cairen thought for a while, and seemed to think that this strategy was feasible.

Since she can't be killed, it's best to let her be ruined and shameless for the rest of her life!

Isn't it because of the prince's preference?
Let's see what she will do in the future!
"I'll try to find a way..." Pei Cairen nodded by accident.

"Very good! Very good!" The queen mother smiled gratifiedly, she turned to face the Buddha statue, her face was full of bloodthirsty excitement: "I want to see, the little prince is reluctant to watch her die..."

Hearing this sentence, Pei Cairen's mind suddenly flashed the picture of the prince holding Zhao Xiwei at the celebration banquet, and suddenly felt faintly that he might not end well: "If the prince is not willing, I..."

"What are you afraid of?" The Queen Mother turned around again and looked at her mockingly, "It's fine if the prince is reluctant, but if he is reluctant to part with Zhao Xiwei, he can only agree to Aijia's conditions, and Aijia will succeed. Since Aijia is successful, will you be sent to die?"

"What if the prince doesn't take it seriously?"

The queen mother endured and endured, but now everyone in the Wang family has been wiped out, and there is no one around who can be used, so she can only say: "Then you will get what you want? You can kill her however you want!"

Pei Cairen thought about it, and wanted to ask another question. The Empress Dowager completely lost her patience, waved her hand, and said impatiently: "It's almost dawn, come and see off the guests!"
