When Duke Anguo was young, he was also a talented and brilliant man who was both civil and military. This farewell letter between father and son was written in a very vivid way, in which he scolded his rebellious son Zheng Chen as worse than pigs and dogs and hated both humans and gods.

Empress Dowager Li raised the corners of her mouth and laughed silently and happily.

The drama of father and son killing each other is really wonderful.

I really don’t know how Empress Dowager Zheng would feel when she saw this farewell letter.

"This farewell letter has been sent to the Ministry of Rites to be printed together." Jiang Shaohua smiled and said, "What Auntie is seeing now is the copy made by Chen Sheren. The other copy has been sent to Jingyang Palace."

The corners of Empress Dowager Li's mouth curved upwards a little more, and she sighed, "The Grand Empress Dowager is old, and she is particularly concerned about her natal family. Unfortunately, the Zheng family has been restless, and things have been happening one after another. Don't let the Grand Empress Dowager get angry and hurt herself."

I'll feel better only if I piss that old hag off to death!
Jiang Shaohua also sighed: "Grandmother is very proud and angry, so she is bound to get angry. I didn't go to Jingyang Palace because I was afraid that she would lose face. I will go to comfort her after two or three days when she has calmed down."

No! You should go and make trouble for the old hag while it's still fresh and hot!

Empress Dowager Li's eyes flashed: "You are pregnant and have to worry about government affairs, how can you have the time? Anyway, I have plenty of free time. Tomorrow I will go to Jingyang Palace to comfort the Empress Dowager."

Jiang Shaohua happily responded: "Thank you for your help, aunt."

Empress Dowager Li had nothing to do, so she fought with Empress Dowager Zheng, which also helped to relieve the worries of the emperor.

Of course, this favor must be remembered and attributed to the Li family.

……

Empress Dowager Li was in a good mood and slept soundly all night. The next morning, she dressed neatly and went to Jingyang Palace to pay respects to the emperor, accompanied by the palace maids and eunuchs.

Empress Dowager Zheng sneered: "She is here to laugh at my joke."

The palace servants serving on the side dared not say a word.

After Eunuch Zhao recovered from his injury, he became much more low-key and cautious, and never spoke carelessly.

When Empress Dowager Zheng saw that no one responded to her, she became increasingly unhappy and glanced over at him out of the corner of her eye.

Eunuch Zhao sighed inwardly, but had to bite the bullet and say, "Your Highness doesn't want to see the Queen Mother, so I'll go out and send her away."

Empress Dowager Zheng glared at him and said, "Who said I won't see her? Not only do I want to see her, I also want to listen carefully to what she has to say. Go and welcome her in."

Eunuch Zhao bowed his head and replied respectfully, and when he turned around, the corner of his mouth curled slightly.

The Zheng family has fallen to this point and has become a joke in the entire court. Empress Dowager Li is the biggest victim. Her son, Emperor Taihe, was murdered, and her father and nephew were killed. It can be said that Empress Dowager Li hates the Zheng family to the core. Now the situation has changed, and it is finally the turn of the Zheng family to suffer misfortune. Why can't Empress Dowager Li come to see the joke of Empress Dowager Zheng?
After a while, Empress Dowager Li came in slowly, bowed and said, "Your daughter-in-law pays respects to the Grand Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Zheng had always looked down on Empress Dowager Li, after all, Empress Dowager Li was born a concubine, that is, a noble concubine. It was not until Emperor Taihe ascended the throne that she was named Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager Li lacked confidence and rarely called herself the daughter-in-law in front of Empress Dowager Zheng. But today, she spoke with a confident attitude.

Empress Dowager Zheng was angry, but she smiled: "Your throat is not healed yet, you should take good care of yourself. You don't have to come to Jingyang Palace to pay your respects. I can have more peace and quiet, and maybe I can live a few more years!"

Empress Dowager Li came prepared and was not afraid at all: "My daughter-in-law's throat needs to be healed slowly, it won't be healed in three or five days." "My daughter-in-law heard that Duke Anguo wrote a farewell letter to his son, and I was afraid that the Empress Dowager would be so angry after reading the letter that it would hurt her body, so I came to visit you today. Now that I see you in person, I am relieved."

You are just bringing up things that are not related to the topic. You are just trying to disgust me.

The older the Empress Dowager Zheng got, the more irritable she became. Sparks flashed in her eyes. She glared at Empress Dowager Li fiercely and said, "I am fine, and the Zheng family is fine too. Duke Anguo should just pretend that he doesn't have a son named Zheng Chen. It's better than both Minister Li and his grandson dying."

Queen Mother Li was so heartbroken that tears welled up in her eyes immediately: "My father and nephew were killed, and my son also died in the conspiracy of the traitor. I am keeping this life to see the traitor surrender with my own eyes. As long as the traitor is alive, I will keep my eyes open."

Empress Dowager Zheng was furious. She didn't care that Zheng Chen was her doted-on nephew for more than ten years. She started to curse him: "Zheng Chen, this evil creature! He killed my eldest grandson and the whole Zheng family. I was so blind to raise such an ungrateful person!"

"When the imperial court quells the rebellion and captures Zheng Chen alive, I will skin him alive!"

Empress Dowager Li sneered: "Duke Anguo has written a farewell letter, and the court will print it in the official newspaper and announce it to the world. By then, everyone will curse it, and it will also be recorded in the history books. I want to see what kind of trouble Zheng Chen can make."

Then he sighed hypocritically: "It would be fine if the Zheng family was implicated. But the reputation of Jingyang Palace was also implicated. My daughter-in-law really feels sorry for the Empress Dowager. Over the years, the Empress Dowager has devoted herself to the Zheng family. How has the Zheng family repaid her?"

"Once the imperial edict is published, all government offices in Daliang will be able to see it, and the people of the world will also know about it. This is a huge blow to the reputation of the Empress Dowager."

"Won't your Majesty be pointed at by everyone?"

"When the daughter-in-law thought about this, she was filled with anger and indignation."

Empress Dowager Zheng was breathing heavily and staring at Empress Dowager Li with a vicious look.

Empress Dowager Li used to be most afraid of Empress Dowager Zheng looking at her like this, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

But now, what else did she have to fear? Her husband was dead, her son was dead, her father was dead, and her nephew was dead too.

Everyone who cared was gone.

She was no longer afraid of anything.

Empress Dowager Li raised her eyes and looked at Empress Dowager Zheng: "Your Majesty, I dare to say a few words from the bottom of my heart today."

"The Zheng family is declining, and with Zheng Chen as a scourge, the Zheng family will be uprooted sooner or later. Your Majesty is the Grand Empress Dowager, and it would be best for you to enjoy honor and wealth in the harem. The Emperor will be filial to your Majesty and provide for your old age."

"Your Highness, if you blindly favor the Zheng family, it will only put the Emperor in a dilemma and will not save the Zheng family. Why do you have to do this..."

"Shut up!"

Empress Dowager Zheng could no longer hold back her anger. She pointed at Empress Dowager Li and yelled, "It is not your turn to tell me what to do."

"Get out of here!"

Empress Dowager Li looked at the Empress Dowager Zheng, whose face was red and whose breath was unsteady, and felt relieved. She replied slowly, "I will take my leave first. I will come to pay my respects to you again in a few days when your anger has subsided."

After saying this, he bowed slowly and left leisurely. (End of this chapter)
