Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

The Queen Mother was dead, and there was nothing he could do to save her.

Just then, he suddenly felt something strange.

He looked down and saw that the empress dowager was holding a jade pendant tightly in her hand.

He was very familiar with this jade pendant.

This is the token of love he gave to Wang Yuyan!

Chu Ze was shocked and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

He suddenly looked up at Wang Yuyan who was standing at the door, his eyes full of shock and confusion.

Wang Yuyan walked in slowly with a strange smile on her face...

Wang Yuyan walked in slowly with a strange smile on her face. To Chu Ze, that smile was as cold as a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

"Your Majesty, look, what is this?" Wang Yuyan spread out her palm, and it was the jade pendant. Under the dim light, it glowed with a faint green light, just like the eyes of a wild beast that was ready to devour its prey.

Chu Ze's heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He looked at Wang Yuyan and asked word by word, "Mother, did you kill her?"

Wang Yuyan covered her mouth and chuckled, her laughter full of sarcasm and disdain. "Your Majesty, what you said is really harsh. The Queen Mother was so depressed that she committed suicide. I, your concubine, did nothing."

"You're lying!" Chu Ze roared, "This jade pendant was given to you by me, why is it in my mother's hands? If you didn't do anything, why would it be here!"

The smile on Wang Yuyan's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold chill. "Your Majesty, are you doubting me?" She approached Chu Ze step by step, with a hint of threat in her tone, "I am your beloved concubine, how dare you doubt me?"

Chu Ze looked at Wang Yuyan, his heart filled with pain and disappointment. He once loved this woman deeply, but now he found that she was so cruel.

"Why are you doing this?" Chu Ze's voice was hoarse and weak.

"Why?" Wang Yuyan burst into laughter, her voice sharp and piercing, "Because I hate her! I hate her for taking you away! I hate her for suppressing me everywhere! I hate her..."

Wang Yuyan's eyes were filled with madness and hatred, like a wild beast that was forced into a desperate situation.

"She's dead, are you satisfied?" Chu Ze asked coldly.

"Satisfied? Of course I am satisfied!" Wang Yuyan showed a ferocious smile on her face, "After she dies, you will belong to me alone! This palace, this world, will all be mine!"

Chu Ze looked at Wang Yuyan, his heart filled with sadness. He suddenly realized that he had always misjudged this woman. She was not as gentle and kind as he imagined, but a ruthless and ambitious woman.

"Do you think that by killing your mother, you can get everything?" Chu Ze's tone was filled with sarcasm.

"Isn't it?" Wang Yuyan asked back, "Your Majesty, who else can you rely on besides me now?"

Chu Ze didn't say anything, just looked at her coldly.

Wang Yuyan walked up to Chu Ze, reached out and stroked his face, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I know you are very sad now, but you still have me. I will always be by your side and will never leave you."

Chu Ze grabbed Wang Yuyan's hand, his eyes filled with anger. "Do you think I will still believe you?"

"Your Majesty..." A trace of panic flashed in Wang Yuyan's eyes.

"Someone come here!" Chu Ze shouted.

Several guards rushed in immediately.

"Catch this vicious woman for me!"

The guards did not dare to delay and immediately stepped forward to restrain Wang Yuyan.

Wang Yuyan struggled desperately, shouting, "Your Majesty, you are wronging me! I am wronged!"

Chu Ze looked at Wang Yuyan without a trace of pity in his eyes.

"Take it down!"

The guards dragged Wang Yuyan out.

Chu Ze was the only one left in the bedroom. He sat dejectedly on the chair, his heart filled with fatigue and emptiness.

The death of the Queen Mother and Wang Yuyan's betrayal made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.

He didn't know who he could trust.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He had to snap out of it.

For the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world, he must be strong.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of determination flashed in them.

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sky outside which was gradually brightening.

A new day begins.

He still has a lot to do.

He won't be defeated by these setbacks.

He will definitely make the Ming Dynasty more prosperous!
Suddenly, he heard a slight noise.

He turned his head suddenly and saw a dark shadow flash past the window.

He was shocked and chased after him immediately.

He chased to the Imperial Garden, but lost the trace of the black shadow.

He looked around but found nothing.

Is it his imagination?
Just then, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

He turned around suddenly, only to see a dagger stabbing at his chest...

Chu Ze turned around suddenly, but it was not a dagger, but a hand, gently placed on his shoulder.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night and the dew is heavy. Be careful not to catch a cold." An old voice sounded in Chu Ze's ears.

Chu Ze turned around and saw the person clearly in the faint moonlight. It was Eunuch Fu, his childhood companion and one of the most trusted people in the palace.

"Uncle Fu, it's you." Chu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed. "I... I just came out for a walk."

Eunuch Fu smiled and handed over a cloak: "Your Majesty, I know you are upset, but you must take care of your health."

Chu Ze took the cloak and put it on, feeling a warmth flowing through his body. He looked up at the sky, which was dotted with stars, but it could not dispel the haze in his heart.

"Uncle Fu, do you think I am useless?" Chu Ze's voice was low and weak.

Eunuch Fu sighed and patted Chu Ze's shoulder gently: "Your Majesty, you are responsible for the entire Ming Dynasty. The burden on your shoulders is too heavy. The death of the Empress Dowager is too great a blow to you. You need time to adjust."

"But I feel so tired and confused." Chu Ze's voice was choked with sobs, "I don't know what to do."

"Your Majesty, you are the true dragon emperor. You will definitely lead the Ming Dynasty to prosperity." Eunuch Fu said firmly, "I believe in you."

Chu Ze was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, his eyes gradually becoming firm. "Uncle Fu, you are right, I cannot be defeated by these setbacks. I must cheer up, for the sake of Ming Dynasty and the people of the world, I must be strong!"

"This is the emperor of my Ming Dynasty!" Eunuch Fu nodded with satisfaction.

The two stayed in the imperial garden for a while, and Chu Ze's mood gradually calmed down.

Back in the bedroom, Chu Ze lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep.

The Queen Mother's kind face and Wang Yuyan's hideous smile kept appearing in his mind.

These two women, one is his most beloved mother, and the other is the woman he once loved deeply, but now both have left him. (End of this chapter)
