famous eldest daughter

Chapter 232 Awakening
Suddenly, the eyes of almost everyone present fell on the Queen Mother's face.

Under the lamp of Shuixie Palace, the elderly woman had her eyes closed tightly. Her face, which was already dark and green, had turned rosy without knowing when. She was so graceful and luxurious that no one could stare at her.

Prince Duan and Princess Duan suddenly felt their hearts shrinking, with shock on their faces, "How is it possible..."

As if to answer their doubts, the Queen Mother's tightly closed eyelashes suddenly trembled a few times, but within a moment, her phoenix eyes slowly opened.

Prince Duan could still keep his composure, but Princess Duan seemed to have seen a ghost. She let out a scream of "ah", which was particularly harsh and shrill in the quiet air. It even made the old crows resting on the tree nearby scream and fly. Walk.

The Queen and Concubine Hui were about to help the Queen Mother to stand up, but the Emperor turned around and walked over in person, bending down to help them.

Rings and jade rings jingled together, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor sat side by side on the bed, their hands clasped together.

Just after waking up, although her face was glowing with ruddy luster, she was no longer lifeless, and her eyes were brightened, but her face was still haggard.

The palace lantern shone on her slightly scattered hair. The silvery white hair was particularly dazzling. Thin wrinkles flowed from the corners of her gloomy eyes, revealing the traces of time.

"Queen Mother..." The Emperor looked at the Queen Mother worriedly and called softly.

The Queen Mother heard the words, but did not answer. She just stared at the Emperor for a moment, then turned her head and cast her cold eyes on the face of Prince Duan in front of her. When she turned her head, her hairpin trembled slightly.

Meeting the Queen Mother's gaze, Prince Duan couldn't help rolling his throat, "Mother Queen." A hoarse voice came from his throat, as if his throat had been scalded with coals.

The Queen Mother stared at Prince Duan without saying a word, and the expression on her face changed rapidly. Everyone standing aside could not help but hold their breath, and their hearts were in suspense.

For a long time, Prince Duan's legs began to feel numb as he stood there. He was finally forced to speak by the condensed atmosphere, "Winning or losing, I have nothing to say." He jerked his neck and turned his head to the side. But there was no hint of fear or regret, and he was as cold as a martyr who looked forward to death.

The emperor glanced at the Queen Mother, took in a breath and slowly exhaled it. Without looking at Prince Duan, he said, "Take it down." He threw out these three words lightly, but there was some helpless sadness in his eyes.

"and many more."

The moment the Imperial Guards stepped forward to detain King Duan, the Queen Mother finally opened her mouth.

The Emperor's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleaming luster, and he looked towards the Queen Mother with joy.

"The Aijia asks you, why did you poison the Aijia!" The old but still delicate hand gently rubbed the back of the emperor's hand. The Queen Mother looked at Prince Duan intently, with deep sorrow in her eyes.

How could it not be painful to be poisoned by one's own son?

As soon as the Queen Mother said this, the crowd suddenly started talking.

Prince Duan seemed to have expected this question. He met the Queen Mother's sad eyes and said with a cold smile: "Mother, why do you need to do this? Who is the queen who poisoned the mother? The mother knows very well. He is also the mother's direct son." , is the queen mother so partial?"

He insisted that the person who poisoned the Queen Mother was the Emperor.

After that, King Duan smiled provocatively at the emperor, "Even if I die, I want everyone in the world to know that you are a tyrant who kills his mother and his brother."

When the Emperor heard this, a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, "Don't you have any regrets at all?" Feeling the warmth left by the Queen Mother's fingers on the back of his hand, he thought that if he missed one point, he might be reunited with the Queen Mother forever. As they were separated, the emperor's heart hurt as if someone had grabbed him, and he gritted his teeth especially when he spoke.

Prince Duan sneered. As a loser, he still had his usual conceited smile on his face, "Regret? I only regret that I didn't kill you with a sword back then. Otherwise, how could you end up like this today!"

While he was speaking, Concubine Hui and the Queen came forward in person, found a packet of medicinal powder on the body of Concubine Duan, who had been frightened by the Queen Mother's awakening, and handed it over to the imperial physician.

Under the lamp, the imperial doctor carefully analyzed the medicine and gave the answer, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this powder is exactly the poison that the Queen Mother was poisoned by."

Prince Duan glared at the imperial doctor bitterly and said to the emperor: "If you can set up a trap to harm me, you can naturally hide a packet of poisonous powder on my princess. If you want to incriminate me, there is no need to hesitate. If you become a king or a bandit, I will do whatever you want." !”

But Princess Duan on the side was so frightened by the medicinal powder that was found on her body that she trembled. Her eyes flashed, she jumped up from the ground with a roar, and rushed straight to Prince Duan, "My lord, I'm sorry, I didn't do it." The Queen Mother was killed, and the Queen Mother was saved by that bitch of the Queen. My concubine is incompetent, so don’t be angry, Prince." As he said this, he helped the Prince to calm down, and said, "Hurry up and call the concubine. The prince always dotes on her the most, but when he saw the concubine, he lost his temper..."

Everyone could see that she was so frightened that she went crazy.

But if you are crazy, you are not crazy.

Prince Duan's expression suddenly changed, and he stretched out his hand to pinch Princess Duan's neck, "Bitch, what nonsense are you talking about!"

He was so strong that Princess Duan's feet immediately left the ground. She was in extreme pain and could not help flailing her hands and feet.

With a look from the emperor, the commander of the imperial army stepped forward and rescued Princess Duan.

Panting for air, Princess Duan looked ashen, but she burst into tears, "A murderer, Your Majesty, a murderer, help me..." As she said this, she saw the Queen Mother, turned around and ran, "Auntie, help me, The prince wants to kill me..."

The commander of the imperial army raised his hand and struck her on the back of the neck, and Princess Duan immediately collapsed to the ground with her words.

After this incident, the truth of Prince Duan's crime of deliberately killing his mother and forcing her to marry was revealed.

The emperor looked at him coldly and said, "The queen is your biological mother, how could you do this to her!"

Prince Duan showed no shame, and sneered: "From the day she gave you the throne, in my heart, she is no longer my biological mother."

The Queen Mother's fingers on the back of the Emperor's hand were suddenly cold to the bone, and he could not help but tremble. The Emperor's heart twitched, and he held the Queen Mother's cold hand into his palm with his backhand. He gritted his teeth and said: "The law of justice cannot tolerate these traitorous ministers and traitors. They will be taken to the prison and we will wait." Disappointed."

When even the imperial guards came forward, they escorted Prince Duan and his followers away.

Before leaving, King Duan said to the Queen Mother with a face full of resentment: "Since you were a child, you have only had him in your eyes. Whenever you have had me, I will always be his shadow. Give him the best and you will be the best." You didn't even ask me a question about the throne and gave it to him directly. Why? I'm also your son. Why did you treat me like this? Why..."

"The Ai family has the final say as to who the throne will be given to. It was your father's decision." The Queen Mother's voice was trembling with endless sadness.

"Father? My father's favorite prince is clearly me. This throne was originally given to me by my father. It's all because of you, the witch like you..."

Hearing that King Duan was uttering arrogant words, the emperor raised his hand and immediately asked the imperial guards to pull him down.

But his unbridled insults still echoed over the waterside pavilion, making people's hearts tremble.
