The empress dowager couldn't believe it when she saw Bai Linyu. She didn't know when she had stood there either, but her heart was filled with panic.
"Yu'er, listen to mother's explanation. What This Dowager said just now was all a lie. Your father, he was the one who killed him. You saw it too, didn't you?"
All along, the reason why Bai Linyu and Bai Zhanji were irreconcilable was because Bai Zhanji had personally killed their royal father and wanted to avenge his father.
Although the previous Emperor of the Huan Yue had a very bad personality, ever since Bai Lingyu had become so sensible, he had always doted on her.
No matter what Bai Lingyu wanted to do or wanted to do, the Emperor would do it for him.
White Feather was respectful to the previous Emperor.
But now, hearing the truth from the empress dowager's mouth, the hatred in Bai Ling Yu's heart was instantly extinguished.
"Yu'er, it's true. His Majesty was killed by him. You have to believe that This Dowager is your mother. This Dowager won't lie to you. You have to believe This Dowager …"
The Empress Dowager had already guessed that the fact that Bai Lingyu could lead the Minister to stand outside the great hall was probably a plan that he and Bai Zhan Ke had made.
However, she didn't want to believe her own guess.
She didn't believe that her son, whom she had painstakingly brought up, would plot against her.
"Imperial Mother, your son has always trusted you. But now, how do you expect me to believe you? "
Bai Linyu's final shout was practically a roar.
He slowly walked into the hall and walked towards the empress dowager.
"Mother, your son has hated your brother for so many years. In all these years, your son has done so many things to hurt your brother. You should know this as well. But now, you have let me know the truth. The truth is that you killed royal father. "
In Bai Lingyu's eyes, there was an indescribable sadness.
Tears rolled down her rosy eyes.
"Mother, your father is your husband, your son's father. How can you be so heartless and so cruel to your father? Where did the mother who doted on and cared for her son, go to? "Where did you go!?"
Ever since the empress dowager inadvertently mentioned the matter of Hua Mujiao's mother's death, as well as the past history of the previous emperor that Love Roars out loud, Bai Linyu knew that her mother hated her father.
From that time onwards, he started to suspect the death of his royal father all those years ago.
Because he didn't want to believe that his mother was the cause of his father's death, he went to White Battlefield to ask about what had happened.
Although he had learned the truth from Bai Zhan Ke, he still didn't believe it.
Finally, he went to ask the Empress Dowager for confirmation.
Although the empress dowager denied it, her demeanor back then had been that of a liar.
Therefore, Bai Ling Yu and Bai Zhan Ke had joined hands to plan this rebellion.
"Husband? Hmph, is he even worthy to be my husband? "
In the Empress Dowager's heart, the late Emperor was not worthy of being her husband.
"Yu'er, is this everything you designed? Let This Dowager speak of the murder of His Majesty in front of all the ministers and officials, right? "
No matter how much she deceived herself, Her Majesty knew, it was useless.
"It, it was designed by me!"
"Hoh, good, good. If there is a father, there must be a son. Good, This Dowager truly raised a good son, and I also raised a good son that can avenge him."
"Haha …" Your Majesty, did you see that? Your good son has taken revenge for you. In order to raise a good son, This Dowager's family should rest in peace. "
The empress dowager sat on the ground and began to laugh maniacally.
She looked up at the top of the hall, her laughter sharp and piercing.
"Husband? Haha, my good husband, the good father that you speak of, he is a scum. A person who wants to snatch even his own brother's woman, and even his own subject's woman, what right does he have to sit on this throne? He is not worthy of being the monarch of a nation, not worthy of him! "
Her Majesty truly hated the late Emperor.
Back then, if it weren't for her, This Dowager wouldn't have ended up like this. Everything was caused by him. Why? Why must you all blame This Dowager?
Originally, Nangong Liu-Li had taken a fancy to General Shangguan when he was a general. However, because of the appearance of Hua Mu Jin's mother, who was also Hua Mu Jin, Nangong Liu-Li's dream of becoming the general's wife had been shattered.
Although her dream of becoming the wife of a general had been shattered, Nangong Liuli did not hate him back then.
Back then, This Dowager came to the Huan Yue Country to reconcile our marriage, and he promised This Dowager that he would let This Dowager choose his own wife. But later on, he went back on his word and forced This Dowager into the harem, because This Dowager had the entire Tian Guang Kingdom behind her, so for the sake of the future of the Huan Yue Kingdom, This Dowager allowed This Dowager to become his empress. "
"At that time, I thought he loved me. But later on, after a long time, she ignored This Dowager. Instead, it was Imperial Concubine Lan who was born of low status who was extremely fond of This Dowager's heart. Even so, This Dowager was still able to tolerate it. "
When she thought of all that she had experienced that year, the empress dowager's heart was filled with not only her hatred for the late emperor, but also her own bitterness.
"Yu'er, did you know? Even if he didn't care about me, I would never blame him. But afterwards, he saw that General Shangguan's new wife was incredibly beautiful, so he had evil intentions. He wanted to bring Hua Qingcheng into the harem, and he even sent This Dowager to seduce General Shangguan so that General Shangguan would bear the responsibility of defrauding Empress. "
"This one will endure all of this. However, he kept repeating again and again. As long as it was a pretty lady, he would bring her into his harem. This one hated him, but why couldn't he just keep showing mercy to her? This Dowager has done so much for him. Why does he still have to repeatedly injure This Dowager? Is it because he is the ruler of a nation? "
Everyone knew from the empress dowager's words that the previous emperor of Huan Yue was an animal.
"If you hate the late emperor, then why did you want to harm my mother?"
After hearing what had happened to the empress dowager, Hua Mujiao, as a woman, still felt some sympathy for her.
Unfortunately for the poor, he had to be hated.
Her sins were not in direct proportion to her own.
"Why do you want to harm your mother? Wasn't it because he had taken a fancy to her? Back then, His Majesty did everything in his power to obtain your mother, but your mother was too stubborn. Even if she died, she didn't want to follow His Majesty's lead. "Later on, His Majesty thought, First get rid of General Shangguan, then he'll have your mother."
"Because your mother, General Shangguan, has been convicted of treason and beheaded!"
To Nangong Liuli, General Shangguan was the man she truly loved back then.
Even after she had become the Queen, deep down in her heart, she still held feelings for General Shangguan.
"It was your mother, who killed General Shangguan! Without her, how could General Shangguan be beheaded? Therefore, This Dowager had poisoned her and allowed her to accompany General Shangguan in death. You should also thank This Dowager. Since they loved each other so much, This Dowager shall bury them together. "
The more Her Majesty spoke, the more she seemed unable to keep her words in check.
Everything that had happened that year, she wanted to reveal it all.
"And you, Bai Zhan Ke, your mufei, no matter who she's helping, she just had to help that Hua Qingcheng woman. It's fine if she helps, but I don't blame her. She had clearly told This Dowager that the person who lived in her heart wasn't His Majesty, but how did she manage to obtain His Majesty's sole favor? This Dowager does not accept it, This Dowager does not accept it! "
"If it wasn't for your mufei, His Majesty wouldn't have passed on the throne to you even if he died." They were both sons, why couldn't he pass the throne down to Yu'er? Yu'er has been very smart since she was young. How can he not be better than you? "
In the end, the person who created this empress dowager was the late emperor.
But even so, Hua Mu Jin still hated the empress dowager.
"The cold poison in my body is your doing, right?"
"That's right, it is This Dowager. Not only is it a cold poison, but when you were just born, This Dowager also planted a Gu within your body. That Gu will awaken when you are twenty and then slowly devour you."
Gu?
The fact that he had Gu worms in his body was something that Hibiscus Flower didn't know about.
"Muhou, where's the antidote?"
When Bai Lingyu heard that there was a Gu in Hua Mujiao's body, he grew anxious and reached out to get the antidote from the empress dowager.
"The antidote? "Haha …"
Looking at Bai Linyu, the empress dowager laughed out loud again.
"There is no cure for that Gu. Unless she dies, the Gu will remain in her body until it is completely devoured!"
Without the antidote, Bai Linyu didn't know what to do.
He glanced at Hua Mu Jin, feeling extremely guilty.
"Empress Dowager, how can you be so vicious?" "Not only did you kill the previous emperor, you even killed Imperial Concubine Lan and Madam General. You …"
"That's right, it's too vicious."
"Not only were they vicious, they were also worse than beasts. Even the young Imperial Concubine Xi was viciously murdered."
The ministers who had been listening outside the palace to hear the empress dowager's recital began to criticize her after hearing her recount.
Hua Mujiao glanced at the minister behind her, feeling extremely disgusted.
Amongst these ministers, there should be many that had followed the late emperor to this point. As for what sort of people the late emperor was, they should at least know a little about him.
Back then when General Shangguan was accused of treason, he was executed to show everyone that they knew what had happened.
What about now?
It was really disgusting.
"Vicious? Can't match up to a beast? Lord Chang, Great Master Zhang, Lord Gou, Lord Xiao, you seniors from the previous dynasty, in order to curry favor with the previous emperor, must have struck at Sir Shangguan while he was down, right? Haha, This Dowager is vicious? "Do you have the right to say that I am vicious?"
The four ministers, whose names were called, instantly lowered their heads.
As for Hua Mu Jin, she remembered these four people in her heart.
"That's right, that's right. And you, you were the first to scold This Dowager for being ruthless. Lord Wu, the one who named General Shangguan the crime of betraying the country was you. You were the one who suggested this to the late emperor."
"To tell the truth, if I didn't need you, I would have let you die with General Shangguan!"
