Chapter 356

"Does the Queen Mother believe it?"

"They are so respectful and fearful of you now, but when the queen mother dies and her remaining power is gone, and there are no descendants to support you and clear your name, they will hate you to the core."

Zhao Tan smiled and said, "So my son believes what you said, and it's sincere."

"You and I, mother and son, are truly like this: we rise together and fall together."

"So, I naturally have nothing to be afraid of!"

"Mother, you wouldn't do something stupid and kill me."

"Even if the Queen Mother is really confused, I have nothing to be afraid of."

Zhao Tan laughed, his tone was cold, even a little eerie.

"Because I believe that after I die, nothing good will happen to you, my mother!"

"My mother will be buried with me on the road to the underworld, so I naturally have nothing to fear."

"Mother, tell me, am I right?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression changed instantly.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Zhao Tan dangerously. Her gaze was extremely unfamiliar, as if she had never really known this son.

"What the emperor said makes sense."

She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "The emperor can think this way. As a mother, I am also very pleased."

"Since the emperor doesn't want to listen, I won't say much, as it would be annoying."

Zhao Tan was calm and composed, and the Queen Mother was even calmer than him.

"When the emperor is willing to listen, it won't be too late to ask me again."

The mother and son looked at each other.

After a long time, no one spoke.

When the emperor laughed, the empress dowager also laughed.

In the end, the emperor was the first to give in: "If that's the case, then I will return to the palace to handle government affairs and review memorials."

"I will not disturb my mother's meditation any more."

He looked at the magnificent decoration in the room and suddenly sneered.

"only--"

Looking at his expression, the Queen Mother had probably guessed what he wanted to say.

Sure enough, the first thing the emperor said was what the empress dowager had guessed.

"Since your mother is a celibate, it would be disrespectful and would only make your sins worse. I think your mother doesn't need to keep these things."

"Since it is a pure practice, how can there be no pure practice appearance?"

"If this gets out, I'm afraid people in the world will think that my mother is setting a bad example."

The Queen Mother sneered a few times: "Since the Emperor wants to withdraw my supplies and take away my share, he can just say so directly."

"Why beat around the bush here?"

"It's already a very childish thing. It's not decent to cover it up like this. It will only make you look more childish."

When Zhao Tan heard the Queen Mother's sarcasm, his face suddenly turned ugly.

He snorted and was about to order people to remove all the valuables from the Queen Mother's place.

I even thought about cutting off the supply here.

If there is nothing to eat or drink, he wants to see how long the Queen Mother can keep her stubborn attitude!
But before he could open his mouth, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "The Emperor does not need to waste his energy here."

"After all, I have been in charge of the palace for so many years, and I have also made great efforts to support you to ascend the throne."

The Queen Mother smiled gently and looked at the Emperor as if he were a child who had not yet grown up, with an indulgent look in her eyes.

"The Emperor, don't you think that I don't even have a few loyal servants around me to do my work?"

"Or, the emperor thinks that if you place spies around me and eliminate the forces around me, you can really prevent me?"

She laughed a few times, as if she had told some particularly funny joke.

"Is the Emperor really so naive?"

"If I could really be defeated so easily, do you think you would still be sitting in this position now?"

"Besides, do you think these little tricks of yours can really have any effect on me or cause any harm to me?"

"will not!"

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Tan indifferently: "Back then, I was in the cold palace, eating rotten rice and vegetables, and drinking unclean muddy water."

"I often couldn't even drink a sip of water or eat a mouthful of stale rice because of the harsh treatment of the guards. I often had to go to bed hungry. When I was very hungry, I even ate the dead tree in the cold palace that had been dead for a long time and was almost dry and without any water."

“Have you ever tasted dry bark?”

"It can fill your stomach, or even if you can't fill your stomach, you are just deceiving yourself. As long as there is something in your mouth, you pretend that you are full, and you can continue to get through this kind of life."

"I have been through those days, and even during those days, I was still able to accumulate strength and support you to sit on the throne. Do you think I care about your childish and willful behavior now?"

The Queen Mother sneered: "I can also tell you that if you do anything unfilial here today, it won't be long before countless students in this world will write articles to condemn you."

"Of course, you don't have to care."

"It all depends on whether you are willing to be a tyrant who will be cursed for thousands of years!"

Zhao Tan looked at her, speechless for a long time.

I don’t know what I was thinking about, but I felt guilty.

still is……

Any other ideas?
In the end, he said nothing, turned his head, and left.

After the people walked away, the "Sang Jingwan" that Zhao Tan had seen before came out again.

"Empress Dowager, will the Emperor..." hurt you?

"He won't!"

The Queen Mother said calmly, "I know my son quite well."

"It's just a paper tiger with nothing but bragging rights!"

If Zhao Tan really had the ability, then when he was afraid of Jiang Anhou Mansion, he would not have taken such a cowardly approach and found excuses from a woman!

"But I just saw that the cruelty in the emperor's eyes didn't seem fake."

"He..." Before Sang Jingwan could finish her words, the Queen Mother snorted coldly and interrupted her: "Why, do you really hope that this palace and this palace's son will become enemies?"

"Want to reap the benefits while sitting back and taking advantage of others?"

Sang Jingwan's expression changed slightly: "My Queen Mother, please understand. I am absolutely loyal to you, and I would never have such a rebellious thought!"

"It doesn't matter even if you have it!"

The Queen Mother sneered: "You probably heard what I just said to the Emperor."

"Yes."

"But I still want to tell you again, do what you should do well, don't think about those things that are not there, and don't have any crooked thoughts."

"Even if you think about it, I don't care."

"I have been through all kinds of hard times. I have not been defeated by such circumstances in the past. Now, nothing can scare me."

The Queen Mother sneered: "Don't forget, since I was able to create you, I can also kill you!"

"The slaves dare not!"

A woman who looked exactly like Sang Jingwan knelt down in panic, her voice trembling with fear.

She knew that what the Queen Mother had just said was true!
Because just at that moment, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

It was as if... there was a pair of invisible big hands above her heart, squeezing her heart hard.

As long as she resisted a little, or had any evil thoughts, those invisible hands would immediately crush her heart and end her life completely.

It also made her believe what the Queen Mother had just said.

Since she could be created, she could also be destroyed.

As for her role, as for the things she needs to do, if we can create one, we can naturally create a second, third, fourth, fifth, and more...

As long as the Queen Mother wants.

With the experience of the first time, she can even create faster and better.

The Queen Mother was very satisfied with Sang Jingwan's ability to understand current affairs.

"Good boy."

She reached out and gently stroked Sang Jingwan's face: "This face is so beautiful!"

"Just be good and do what I ask you to do. Just based on your face, it's enough for me to treat you well."

"Don't ever do anything that makes me unhappy with this face."

"Otherwise, I will definitely make you want to live but not die."

"Remember?"

Sang Jingwan swallowed her saliva and kowtowed repeatedly in fear: "I remember! I remember!"

The Queen Mother chuckled, "Go on!"

"Don't stop until the sun sets."

"It will teach you a lesson."

"Knowing what to say and what not to say."

"What thoughts should be moved, and what thoughts should not be moved."

It was clearly a gentle tone, but to Sang Jingwan's ears it sounded like a death-demanding call from hell.

She didn't dare to hesitate and continued to kowtow even harder.

"Yes!"

"Slave, I remember!"

"I will never dare to do that again!"

"I will definitely do my job well!"

Even though the Queen Mother had already gone far away, Sang Jingwan did not dare to release her semen secretly, and she used all her strength every time.

It was not until the sun set and night fell, when her whole body was chilly and covered with goose bumps, that she fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

I don't want to move even a finger.

So this is what it feels like to be a human stand-in...

A wry smile spread across Sang Jingwan's lips, and she stared blankly at the sky, not knowing what she was thinking.
-
Jiang'an Marquis Mansion.

Jiang Wei frowned and looked sternly at Sheng Ji who was reporting with his head down.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

But, how is that possible?
Jiang Wei even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and that he had heard it wrongly.

"I dare not jump to conclusions easily. Moreover, I only took a quick glance at you at that time, so I did not dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered and causing unnecessary trouble to you and the Marquis of Jiang'an."

Sheng Ji lowered his head and said: "I am incompetent, but I can still be punished by my master."

Jiang Wei was silent for a long time, without saying a word.

He was still thinking about what Sheng Ji had just said.

"You," Jiang Wei paused.

Sheng Ji quickly lowered his head.

"Tell me again what you just said! About the Royal Courtyard!"

Jiang Wei suspected that it was more likely that he had heard it wrong.

Otherwise, how could he hear such outrageous words that "Sang Jingwan" was still alive?
Isn't this ridiculous?

A person who was obviously dead suddenly came back to life, and even his appearance remained the same. After so many years, he was still so young, as if time had left no trace on his face... Isn't this ridiculous?

This is simply ridiculous!
No matter how Jiang Wei thought about it, he felt that he must have heard it wrong.

There is no way Sheng Ji would report such an unreal thing to himself!
"Lord?"

Sheng Ji also suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Say it again?"

Haven't I said it twice? Why are you saying it again?
"Say!"

Jiang Wei's expression became more stern, as if he was interrogating a criminal.

Sheng Ji did not dare to disobey, and quickly told him everything in detail.
