Chapter 136 'Difficulties'

Rather than being betrayed, it was clear that the Queen Mother was more angry about the fact that her position of power was crumbling.

Shu Yunfu looked at the empress dowager, who no longer had the grace and dignity and arrogance. Her cold eyes were tinged with resentment, and she actually felt a little happy in her heart. It turned out that such a high-ranking empress dowager also knew anger, hatred, and the feeling of powerlessness.

"The world is ruled by the capable, and now the prince is more skilled, the queen mother should face the reality as soon as possible." Su Huai was not moved by it, and there was no ripple on his face. He only looked at the Duke of Protectorate in the crowd, "After all, the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion is now on the side of the prince. Even the people you trust the most have betrayed you. The prince is the one that everyone wants."

The Queen Mother was startled, and looked at her brother beside her with wide eyes, "What does he mean?"

"What I mean is that the Duke of Protecting the Country has already become my man. How do you think the Su family can control the imperial guards in the palace? How did we trap you here so accurately? It's because of the Duke of Protecting the Country working together!"

"There is also the military camp outside the city. The Duke of Protectorate helped me send many people in. My Liangyi Sect is best at deceiving people. Our emperor holds the military power so tightly. Since I can't touch it, I will completely turn it into my own. Now the military camp outside the city is probably too busy to come to rescue me."

"You, you, you... you have evil ambitions! You have evil ambitions!"

Looking at her silent brother, the Queen Mother was so angry that she almost vomited blood. All the ways to survive were blocked, and they were all blocked by her most trusted and dearest brother. This kind of aggrieved and angry feeling was beyond words.

"Why! Why did you betray me! Why did you betray the emperor? I am your biological sister! The emperor is your biological nephew!"

"But he wants to suppress our Duke of the State!" The Duke of the State seemed a little excited. "If it weren't for our Duke of the State's help, how could he ascend to the throne among so many princes, and how could you sit on the position of Queen Mother and become the most noble woman in the world."

"But he is ruthless. After he secured the throne, he began to fear our Duke of the State and suppress our Duke of the State. If it were not so, why would Jiaojiao bother to flatter Tang Honghui, a bastard, for the sake of the Duke of the State's reputation and to avoid embarrassing us?"

"If the emperor hadn't been so wary, Xichen wouldn't have gotten into trouble due to a lack of protection, and Dongchen and Nanchen wouldn't have been suppressed everywhere in the officialdom. I and the entire Duke of the Guardian's Mansion exhausted our efforts to help you and your son ascend to that highest position, but that's not what we were asking for!"

"Since he's done with his work, don't blame me for switching to someone else."

The words of the Duke of Protectorate were extremely cold-blooded. He did not hide the fact that his own interests were paramount. Even if it was his own relatives who harmed his interests and the interests of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, he would not give them up.

"Brother! Aren't I and the Emperor good enough to you and the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion? There have been so many impeachments against you and the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion. Although the Emperor is angry, he has never really done anything to you. I am even more protective of the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion."

"I favor you so much and yet you still complain that I don't favor you enough. Darong is from the Zhao family, not the Meng family. The emperor is the emperor, and he has been tolerant enough towards the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion!"

"You are actually teaming up with this ambitious man to harm me and the emperor. If he were to sit on the throne, would the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion be better than it is now? We are truly blood relatives. Why are you doing this?"

Compared to King Cheng's plot to usurp the throne, the betrayal of her mother's family made the Queen Mother more sad and unbelievable. Although they were indeed blood relatives, it was ultimately their common interests that made them work together. Over the years, the Duke of Huguo's Mansion was truly a hive of prosperity because of her relationship with the Emperor.

Although the emperor was indeed very dissatisfied with the arrogance of the Duke of Protectorate and had suppressed them in recent years, she absolutely did not believe that the Duke of Protectorate would betray them because of this.

There must be some other reason that threatened the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, so Brother Su would betray her and the emperor.

"Alright! Stop yelling. Even if you are related to him by blood, their own safety is more important. You should know that if the emperor knew about the things they did in secret, it would be a heinous crime that would punish all nine generations of the clan."

"Whether it was the assassination on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival or the case in the Nine-Storied Tower before the Autumn Examination, the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion helped in all of them. I have the evidence in my hands, how dare they disobey me? If you want to blame someone, blame your good son. He only wanted to be a good emperor and showed no mercy."

"Which is more important, my life or yours? The Protector of the Country and the others can still clearly tell the difference."

"You! You guys!"

The Duke's Mansion wanted to save some face, but King Cheng had no scruples at all. He ignored the ugly faces of several people in the Duke's Mansion and carelessly tore off everyone's faces, treating both the enemy and us equally.

This left everyone stunned. No one knew whether King Cheng was smart or stupid. If he wanted to ascend to the throne, he must have a good reputation and the loyalty of his subordinates.

But what he did today was a bit stupid. I don’t know if it was because of all the years of forbearance that he has now let go and become unscrupulous. His attitude is so arrogant and he doesn’t hide his ambitions at all.

He did not give the slightest bit of face to the supporters brought in by the Duke of Protectorate and the Su family, and trampled on their faces unscrupulously, as if they were not even worthy of his even looking down at them. No matter how useful they were, they were not worthy of his attention. He was so high and mighty, so superior, truly worthy of being a member of the royal family.

However, judging from the way he acted when he launched a coup and wanted to ascend the throne, even if King Cheng really succeeded in ascending the throne, I am afraid he would not be able to stay there for long.

However, she was shocked by one thing: it was actually King Cheng who founded the Liang Yi Sect. Judging from the way he behaved, he didn't seem like the kind of person who could develop an organization like the Liang Yi Sect.

However, no matter who they are, no matter what they want to do, as long as the Duke of Huguo's Mansion is not doing well and as long as the Queen Mother is not doing well, she will be happy!
"It's not easy for you to have the power and status you have today. I advise you to be wise and cooperate with me. I am not a murderer. As long as you submit to me, then..."

"Shut up! You traitor! We will never submit to you, a traitor!"

"The Emperor is so wise and wise, how can he be compared to someone as cunning, despicable and shameless as you? We will never submit to you!"
