Just as the Queen was feeling depressed, Shangguan Bing entered.

"All of you, leave." The empress dismissed all the palace maids around her, then looked at Shangguan Xuan, smiling kindly, "Why is A'Han here? At this time, even if I wanted to entertain you, it would probably not be very convenient. "

"Esteemed empress doesn't need to worry, there's no need to worry about entertaining anyone." I just want to ask you a few questions. " Shangguan Bing looked at the Queen, his eyes cold.

"Problem?" Ask away, as long as it's something this technique can answer, I will definitely tell you everything I know. " The empress looked at Shangguan Bing with a smile that did not reach her eyes.

As expected, what was to come still came.

"Esteemed Empress, why is my elder sister imprisoned in the Celestial Prison?"

"This matter concerns the dignity of the imperial government. I cannot say." The empress didn't answer directly, but her heart was under great pressure. So it was this!

"Oh?" Shangguan Bing raised his brow, he already knew the reason. But then he immediately said, "You can't say? "Your Highness, my Shangguan family and Your Highness the crown prince were originally on good terms, but you watched my sister being imprisoned in the Sky Prison without even caring about it. It really is disheartening."

"There's nothing I can do." Who knew why your sister would do such a stupid thing! The Queen was irritable.

"Then, if the Crown Prince has any requests in the future, can the Shangguan Family be of no help?" Shangguan Bing looked at the Queen and asked coldly.

"You, you're threatening me?" The Queen frowned. His temper began to rise.

She was the dignified mother of a nation. Yet, she was actually being threatened by a junior. What sort of logic was this?

"I dare not, I am only narrating a fact. The empress can be said to be powerless when facing her elder sister. Then, why can't we be powerless when facing you in the future?

You are clearly much stronger than us. "Ah, speaking of which, Princess Thirteen and I don't have a good temper, may esteemed empress withdraw her decree."

Shangguan Qing watched as the Queen pressed on, and even the matter of the Thirteenth Princess was dismissed.

The empress's expression changed.

"Do you know what happens when you go against me?"

"I only know that I didn't go against esteemed empress, but my elder sister is already in jail. So it doesn't matter what happens next, does it? "

There was nothing to say!

Shangguan Qing looked at the empress, the empress felt that she was in a bad mood.

This little brat was really pressing on, he did not even explain to her and only captured Shangguan Yun's arrest to make trouble.

Seriously, who was the one who raised such a troublesome fellow!

The empress was depressed, but she also knew that it was impossible to get things back together with the Shangguan family right now. Therefore, he could only say, "Since Ah Jin and Princess Thirteen don't want to get along, then I have no choice but to withdraw my previous words. As for the Crown Princess, I feel really heartbroken, but I can't do anything about it.

Is there anything else you need? "

Shangguan Bing heard this and laughed playfully: "I heard Blue River bloomed. Would the Empress be interested to see it? If there is, please give me a good answer tomorrow. "

After saying that, Shangguan Bing left without a care for the empress's unsightly expression.

Blue River Flower, these two words were deeply stimulating to the empress. She widened her eyes, looking at Shangguan Bing's elegant back, and finally let out a dark laugh: "Heh! Hehe! As I thought, where did this brat come from to dare oppose me? So it's that matter. Who told him!? "Damn it!"

"The Queen Mother looks very angry." Just as the empress was enraged, she heard Night Emperor Yan's voice.

Upon hearing Night Emperor Yan's voice, the empress's expression immediately changed. Her originally stern expression was replaced with a loving one as she gently looked at Ye Huangyan and asked, "Why is Yan'er here?"

"It's nothing. I just happened to meet the daughter of the Minister of Rites and felt that she was alright. I hope that Mother can help me propose marriage and invite her to be my secondary wife."

Night Emperor Yan's tone was flat, but his words caused the Queen to be overjoyed.

Although she wasn't the Crown Princess, this only proved that the child was enlightened!

The Ministry of Rites' Minister was very important to them. She had also meant this before, but Yan'er was too stingy at that time. Yet, he actually brought it up on his own accord?

Something abnormal must have happened.

"Yan'er, why are you doing this?" The Queen looked serious.

"Imperial Mother, do not worry. Your son has just understood a few things."

"Some things?" The Queen did not understand.

"To obtain something, one must first have absolute power. No one dared to resist. Compared to being gentle to people, strength was the most important, right?

Since she does not want this son of hers, then this son of hers has no choice but to take it. "

Night Emperor Yan's tone was cold, but his persistence made the empress feel at ease.

Although she was still unhappy about Shui Ruo, as long as she could cheer the crown prince up, it didn't matter to her at all.

What Shangguan Yun hadn't been able to do for so many years, that woman did nothing to pique his interest. This was indeed a difference between people.

"In that case, I shall grant your wish. You just have to do what you want, and I'll do the rest. " The empress looked at the crown prince and said.

"Even to force a palace?" The Crown Prince looked at the Queen, his eyes shining.

The crown prince's words frightened the empress into a gasp.

Heavens, what happened to my son? The Queen looked at Night Emperor Yan and felt horrified. Normally, a child who wasn't even interested in power actually wanted to kill a monarch in an outrageous manner?

"Imperial Mother, you aren't willing to part with it? The Queen Mother is very clear, right? If this continues, sooner or later my royal father will pass the throne on to someone else, not me. From the beginning, I was Father's chess piece. The reason is for the crown prince to temporarily have someone, making the other princes' gazes fall on my side.

Queen Mother, if you continue to hesitate, all your efforts will be wasted. "

Night Emperor Yan looked at the empress and said coldly.

The Queen fell silent.

As smart as she was, this sort of thing was naturally clear. But... The empress looked at Ye Huangyan with a complicated expression and smiled wryly. Should he say that he and she were indeed mother and son?

They even treated their feelings the same.

This child was willing to die for a woman, and she, for the sake of the Emperor, was willing to die for the sake of the Emperor.

Although that person didn't love her, no matter how much he did to her, she still couldn't bear to do anything to him. After all, that person was the person she loved.

From the moment she entered the palace, she had fallen in love with him. So perfect, so noble. At the same time, it also brought her supreme rights and happiness.

When they had just gotten married, they were really happy. That person would come to her place every day. However, the good times didn't last long. In order to consolidate the throne, that person began to continuously invite the Minister's daughter into the palace. After that, he began to get tired of it.

Tired of everything, she treated all the women in the palace with equal treatment. That cold gaze made her understand one thing. She could no longer be loved in this life.

If he couldn't get the Emperor to like him initially, then he wouldn't be able to obtain happiness in the end. This was something her mother had taught her before she was married to the Emperor, and that was why she worked so hard. But the result was in vain.

Then, she learned how to be vicious. When she lost her first child, she understood that even if she couldn't get the emperor's favor, she would still be hated by everyone. Because she was the empress, the target of the hatred of all the women in the harem.

If a person was not ruthless to others, it was the same as being ruthless to himself. Thus, she learned how to disguise herself and how to make others fall into despair.

Gradually, with the Emperor turning a blind eye to her attitude, she gained complete control of the harem. She thought this was the end of her life.

However, he didn't expect that a woman who shouldn't have appeared in the imperial harem would appear.

When the emperor had turned cold, she knew that sooner or later, there would be a woman he would like. However, that person couldn't possibly be her.

Then, the woman actually appeared. She even gave birth to a prince for the Emperor. However, in the end, that woman did not stay at the Imperial Palace, and instead moved out.

The relationship between the Emperor and her was complex, but most of all, it was despair, right?

The Emperor couldn't give that woman what she wanted, and that woman wouldn't compromise to stay by his side.

In the end, she killed the woman one last time. The Emperor knew, but he did not seek revenge.

So many years had passed, but even if he poisoned her without any feelings, she still wouldn't be able to do anything if she killed him.

Even if this was for himself, for his son.

Night Emperor Yan was very clear about the empress's thoughts. After all, no one knew their son like their mother. How could he not know what the empress was thinking?

Seeing the empress's hesitant look, Night Emperor smiled and ridiculed, "Imperial Mother is always like this. No matter how cruel that person is to you, he still loves you. But Queen Mother, I am not you.

Since you've already put me in this position, you should know that one day, you will have to face this day, right?

Now that the day has come, other than agreeing to me, what else do you have? "

"But Yan'er, that's your father." There should be more. "

"Yes, but I don't want to." He was brimming with radiance as he looked at the empress. "Imperial Mother, your son is already tired of you. Whether it was for his current status or for royal father's methods.

I don't want to be a pawn anymore. I have what I want, so I'm going to put an end to it. "

Night Emperor Yan's gaze was ice-cold. As his words left her lips, the empress felt as though she had descended into hell.

This child had grown up, and the first thing he did when he grew up was to kill his royal father.

Looking at the Night Emperor's flames, the Queen took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in her heart. Then, he said, "I know, but we can't be impatient about this matter. Once there's a problem, both of us will be finished."

"I know, that's why I came to discuss it with Imperial Mother."

"In that case, we will consider this matter from a long-term perspective. First, you will marry the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and then you will have their power and influence in your hands. I will begin preparing as well. As long as the time is ripe, we will make our move. "

The empress's tone was firm.

Upon hearing this, Night Emperor Yan looked at the empress and said with mixed emotions, "Queen Mother wouldn't have run away just before the battle, right?"

"Of course, you are my son, so how could I possibly flee for someone else? Your royal father does not love me, nor does he love you. In that case, the only thing I can do is to protect you in this situation.

If the other princes were allowed to ascend to the throne, you must not live on, Yan'er, right?

"Calm down, I know what to do." The empress looked lovingly at Night Emperor Yan. No matter how much her heart ached, between her child and her lover, she had ultimately chosen the former.

Even if this choice would cause her to suffer for the rest of her life.

The empress was a smart woman, so she knew what she was going to face if she did that. She also knew how dangerous her actions were.

However, when she saw Night Emperor Yan, there was no way that she would not agree.
