Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 963 Three Conditions
She intuitively felt that there was a lot in it, but when she asked the Queen Mother about it, she kept it secret.

In order to avenge the humiliation that night, she agreed to the Queen Mother's plan without hesitation, so there was the scene where Lan Lingling was poisoned after eating the cake.

Concubine Xiao was filled with emotions. She had to say that her aunt was so amazing that she could find an opportunity for this enchantress for her.

She didn't know what her aunt was going to do. Once her aunt's plan was successful, she begged her aunt to let her cut the demon into pieces.

Thinking of this, she laughed ferociously: "Take it away!"

Silence returned to the dining room, and all traces of Lan Lingling's existence were cleared away, as if she had never been there.

Emperor Yuanwu had just finished approving a few books, and Eunuch Lu hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Miss Lingling is missing!"

Emperor Yuanwu was shocked: "Didn't you go out?"

Eunuch Lu shook his head: "The people below came to report, but they didn't see Miss Lingling leaving the palace."

Emperor Yuanwu's eyes flashed with a complex and indescribable emotion, which seemed to be happy, but also seemed to be unbelievable.

He said: "Have you looked for the dining room?"

Lu Gonggong said: "The people you sent to protect Miss Lingling didn't see Miss Lingling coming out of the palace, so they immediately went to the dining room to look for her, but Miss Lingling was not in the dining room at all. However, they saw a person in the dining room. The plate of freshly steamed mung bean cake is missing two pieces."

Emperor Yuanwu put down his pen with a bang, feeling a little panicked.

He did think that Zhi Zhi would leave in anger and go to Prince Qi's palace to report today's events, but he did not expect that until now, his people had not seen Zhi Zhi leave the palace.

There are strict rules in the dining room that prohibit tampering with food. Except for Zhi Zhi, he really can't find anyone who dares to do such a thing.

However, based on his understanding of Zhizhi, even if Zhizhi was angry again, he would not stop eating after just two pieces.

What was the reason that caused her to abandon her beloved pastries and leave the kitchen?
All in all, I was too self-righteous and believed that Zhizhi would definitely leave the palace, so I didn't pay attention to Zhizhi's movements at all times.

While Emperor Yuanwu was deep in thought, Aunt Chunxi Yingying walked in and saluted. "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has invited you to go to Qingning Palace immediately."

Emperor Yuanwu pretended to be calm and said quietly: "I will go after approval."

Aunt Chunxi's tone did not allow for rejection: "Your Majesty, you can wait, I'm afraid that girl can't wait."

Emperor Yuanwu's expression changed and he hurried to Qingning Palace.

The Queen Mother is lying on the imperial concubine chair, supporting her head with one hand, her eyes half-closed, and her other hand resting idle. The palace maid is painting her neatly manicured nails with dandelion and applying beautiful nails. Gold leaf.

She seems to have changed.

But I can't tell what's wrong.

"My son, please see your mother." Emperor Yuanwu bowed on one knee.

The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyelids, glanced at her son, and said in an indifferent tone: "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, your son, who is supposed to be filial to the Ai family, did not even have a reunion dinner with the Ai family. The Ai family If I want to see you, I have to tie up the girl from the barbarian land. Emperor, don’t you think it’s ironic?”

Emperor Yuanwu knelt down and his voice was almost pleading: "Mother, she is my beloved."

The Queen Mother sneered: "Beloved? I am your mother! Now even a wild woman has crossed the Ai family. It is really ridiculous."

Emperor Yuanwu's posture became lower and lower: "Mother, my son, please..."

The Queen Mother asked, "In what capacity do you come to seek help from the Aijia? As a king of a country, or as a son of the Aijia?"

Emperor Yuanwu slowly raised his eyes: "Mother?" The Queen Mother blew on the Dankou that was not yet dry, and suddenly laughed: "Emperor, the Ai family are the people you are closest to, but now anyone can ride on the Ai family. As for the family, since the Ai family is already so insignificant in your heart, then the Ai family does not demand that you be a filial son."

Emperor Yuanwu's head was completely raised. He looked at the Queen Mother and asked one by one: "Queen Mother, what do you want to do?"

The Queen Mother made a gesture to Aunt Chunxi: "Make the Emperor a cup of good tea. The Ai family wants to talk to the Emperor about what's on their mind."

She turned her head and said to Emperor Yuanwu: "Get up. It's a bit long. I'm afraid you won't be able to kneel down."

Emperor Yuanwu stood up and sat on the chair, waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.

The Queen Mother did not show off, and went straight to the point: "The Ai family already knows about Yu Yin's matter. He not only made a deal with you, but also made a deal with the Ai family on the same terms."

Emperor Yuanwu's expression moved slightly, but he did not speak.

The Empress Dowager's half-smiling face contained sarcasm: "You deliberately angered that savage to make her go to Prince Qi's palace to report the news, right? Emperor, you are a child of the Ai family, and the Ai family knows you too well."

"You don't believe that Yu Yin has money, but you want to know what Yu Yin is going to do, so you pretend to be fooled."

"You wanted King Qi to cooperate with you in this drama, so you deliberately angered the barbarian and wanted her to inform you, so that you could cooperate with King Qi inside and outside and make a false deal with Yu Yin."

"It's a pity that the barbarian was so dedicated to you that he couldn't understand what you meant. Instead, he stayed in the palace and refused to leave. This gave the Ai family an opportunity."

"Emperor, the Ai family has to criticize you. You can get the truth you want by sacrificing Xiao Qian, a bastard. Why bother to use all your efforts to create a cover-up?"

"You value King Qi so much that you even want to protect a little bastard related to him, so does he value you? In this world, you shouldn't trust anyone except the Ai family."

Emperor Yuanwu clenched his fists, but his face remained calm. He stared at his mother closely and asked her: "Queen Mother, who is that person?"

The Queen Mother chuckled: "Who is he? Why doesn't the Ai family know?"

Emperor Yuanwu's eyes were bright: "Who is it, who is swaying you behind your back?!"

The Queen Mother was indifferent: "Who can command the Ai family? Of course the Ai family has figured it out. I cared too much about you before, so I was blinded by maternal love."

Emperor Yuanwu didn't believe it. If there was no one to help him, how could his mother know his thoughts so well?
How could he know that he had no intention of exchanging Xiaoqian for the so-called more than 500 million yuan in the first place?
How could she catch Zhizhi if no one pointed her out?
Behind this, there must be someone giving her advice.

Emperor Yuanwu's voice seemed to have been hardened to ice: "Queen Mother, you have to think clearly, this person can incite you to do such a thing, how could you know that Yu Yin was not his instigator? He must be doing this to harm his son and the Qin Dynasty!"

The Queen Mother remained calm and calm: "The Ai family said that no one was trying to persuade me. Emperor, you are too suspicious."

Emperor Yuanwu took a deep look at the Queen Mother, helpless and disappointed, making him almost breathless: "Queen Mother, how can you let Lingling go?"

The corners of the Queen Mother's lips were raised high, and her eyebrows were raised into the temples, as if to show off her achievements.

She spoke slowly: "Emperor, don't blame the Ai family for their radical methods. The truth is that the Ai family doesn't want to see their son fall deeper and deeper into trouble, and finally be deceived into losing everything. You are the son of the Ai family, how could the Ai family do this?" What about harming you?"

"What you can't do, Aijia will do for you. If you can't bear to touch it, Aijia will do it for you. There are some things that you can't see clearly when you are in the middle of the game, then Aijia will see it for you. What Aijia did These are all for you, for the only son of the Ai family."

Emperor Yuanwu's eyes were red, and he didn't know why. He spoke with a terrifyingly deep voice: "Queen Mother, what do you want?"

The Queen Mother slowly sat upright and looked far away. Because she looked too far away, she looked arrogant.

She opened her mouth and stated three conditions: "First, capture that bastard Xiao Qian and bring him to trade with Yu Yin; second, release your grandfather and Yu Zhen and let them return to their respective places; finally, let them go to their respective places. , consummate the marriage with the imperial concubine immediately."

"Lingling, that Nanmanzi has been poisoned by the same poison as before, and her life is passing away little by little. If you don't agree, or you delay, you will waste her life."
