Imperial Garden Gazebo.

Seeing the arrival of Princess Dingtao, the little emperor took the lead in getting up and making a junior salute.

"Greetings to my aunt!"

"I can't do it, I can't help it!"

Dingtao was panicked and took a few steps back to avoid it.

How virtuous can she be, how dare she be courteous.

I'm afraid that this is another trick arranged by Empress Dowager Yan, just to frame her.

At this moment, her face turned pale with fright, and she couldn't help herself.

Empress Dowager Yan took the little emperor with her and stroked the top of her head, "Dingtao, do you see if Yan'er has grown taller?" ”

Her tone is gentle, her attitude is like a family chat, and she seems amiable.

Ding Tao looked suspicious, and nodded nervously, "Yes, it's a little taller." Dingtao to His Majesty and the Queen Mother! ”

She realized it later, and cautiously stepped forward to salute, for fear of being provoked.

Empress Dowager Yan smiled slightly, "Family, why be so polite." Has the emperor done his homework today? ”

The little emperor shook his head, "The homework is not done yet. ”

"Well, go get your homework done first. Later, Hongu wants to check on your studies. ”

"My son obeys! The nephew said goodbye first, and the aunt was casual. ”

The little emperor left surrounded by the palace maids.

The pavilion in the imperial garden suddenly seemed deserted.

Empress Dowager Yan politely beckoned Ding Tao to sit down and drink tea.

Dingtao trembled, looking like a frightened bird, and a little wind and grass could make her jump.

"Hey......"

Empress Dowager Yan sighed, "The emperor's education, this palace is extremely nervous, I am afraid of living up to the trust of the first emperor." I am afraid that it will be too harsh and make the emperor rebellious.

He was afraid of being too tolerant, which made him reluctant to forge ahead and develop a lazy temperament.

Dingtao, the emperor is your only nephew, and he is also the hope of the Great Wei Jiangshan, what do you say the palace should do? ”

Ding Tao looked confused.

Is she eligible to participate in the emperor's education?

Are you kidding.

"Why don't you speak? Don't you care about the emperor, your only nephew? If the emperor has three long and two short, what do you let the palace do, and what should the Great Wei Jiangshan do? ”

As she spoke, Empress Dowager Yan wiped away her tears, clearly an anxious mother who was worried that her child would not become a talent, and that her child would have an emergency.

She questioned the other party, "Are you still resentful of this palace and resentful of this palace for holding you for so long?" ”

Ding Tao shook his head again and again in denial, not daring to speak out, for fear of saying the wrong thing in excitement.

Empress Dowager Yan wiped it gently, "You don't have to deny it, if it is this palace, you will be resentful if you are detained for so long for no reason."

Dingtao, you can understand the difficulties of this palace, right? You are also a mother, and you should be able to understand the idea that Hongu is eager to give her children the best in the world.

What's more, the emperor is still the hope of the future of the Great Wei Jiangshan. This palace does all this, all for the emperor, for your only nephew, can you understand this palace? Can you forgive Motogu for being ruthless? ”

She took the other person's hand, her expression was sincere and sincere, and her eyes were sincere.

She is an anxious mother and a good mother.

It's all for the sake of the kids.

Tears were still rolling in her eyes.

At this moment, she is sincerely repentant, truly repentant, and sincerely wants to ask for Dingtao's understanding.

Dingtao's heart has become a mess, and the cutting is still messy.

"Queen Mother, don't be like this, torture me. The Emperor is my only nephew, and I must hope that the Emperor will be good. ”

Empress Dowager Yan burst into tears and smiled, "This palace knows that you will not hurt the emperor, and I hope that he will be well." It is a blessing for the emperor to have an aunt like you. ”

Ding Tao laughed with him, his expression was not very natural.

The hand held by the other party seemed to stiffen, making her uncomfortable.

She tried to break free, but as soon as she tried harder, she was grabbed tighter.

"Dingtao, can you promise this palace one thing?" Empress Dowager Yan asked out loud.

Ding Tao was stunned for a moment, and then whispered: "The Queen Mother, please speak." ”

Empress Dowager Yan's expression was serious and solemn, "Can you swear that you will never do anything to hurt the emperor, not in the slightest." ”

Dingtao was confused.

Under the pressure of the other party's gaze, she hesitated: "Of course I won't do anything to hurt the emperor." ”

"Not enough! Not at all! You have to swear! ”

Empress Dowager Yan's momentum changed.

Tough!

Oppress!

It's breathless!

This is how Dingtao feels at this moment.

She shuddered, "Why do you have to swear?" ”

"Because this palace is not at ease."

Empress Dowager Yan didn't hide anything, she told the other party very bluntly that she was not trustworthy.

She is kind and seductive, like a natural negotiator, seducing the other party every word.

"The person who hurt the first emperor the most is the closest person around the first emperor. The same situation did not want to happen to the emperor.

The DPRK seems to be quiet, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent, and it may erupt at any time.

It doesn't matter if the palace is hurt, but I am worried that it will hurt the emperor.

Dingtao, Yan'er is your only nephew in this world, can you swear a poisonous oath for him, and never do anything to hurt him in this life. ”

"I, I can swear a poisonous oath. I will never do anything to hurt the emperor in this life, otherwise I will be thundered by the sky. The poisonous oath has been made, can the Queen Mother answer me a question. ”

Dingtao was rarely calmed.

She used all her strength and all her guts to dare to question the other party.

She was nervous.

Once the other party refused, she could not muster up the courage to do it a second time.

Empress Dowager Yan was finally willing to let go of her hand and smiled gently, "Thank you, Dingtao." You are willing to swear a poisonous oath for the emperor, which shows that you are a person with a conscience and a person who can distinguish between the important and the important. Before you ask a question, this palace wants to remind you, have you thought about the consequences? ”

Dingtao's face turned pale instantly, as if he had seen a ghost.

She opened her mouth several times, but she could not utter a word.

Empress Dowager Yan stared at her sharply, "What questions do you want to ask, have you thought about it?" Hongu is willing to answer your questions. ”

Ding Tao shook his head again and again, looking painful and annoyed.

She cried bitterly and said frequently: "I have no problem, I have no problem." ”

Empress Dowager Yan stroked the back of her hand, "Really? Didn't you say you wanted to ask Hongu a question? ”

"No, I was confused before! Disturbing the Queen Mother for so long, I want to go out of the palace and go home, and ask the Queen Mother for permission. ”

"Good! The main palace will send someone to send you out of the palace now. Your child, why don't you go into the palace and read to the emperor as a companion, okay? They were cousins, and brothers should be closer to each other. ”

"I, can I think about it for a few days."

"Okay! Don't think about it for too long, I'm worried about delaying the child's homework. ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother! Leave! ”

Dingtao can't wait to run away from this place of right and wrong.

Fortunately......

She controlled her impulse, slowly walked down the pavilion, and followed the palace people out of the imperial garden.

It wasn't until she left the palace that she seemed to have learned to pant and breathe freely.

The carriage of the princess's mansion has been waiting for a long time, obviously getting a notice from the palace in advance, knowing that she is leaving the palace today.

She got into the carriage and had just sat down, already in tears.

She knows it all!

She understood it all.

A lot of the time, she does react half a beat slowly, and looks a little stupid.

However, it doesn't mean that she is stupid.

She can see everything clearly and think clearly. It's just that no one else responds as quickly.

Why did Empress Dowager Yan detain her, why did she swear poisonously, and why did she say that to her?

All of this is just to keep her mouth shut and not allow her to talk nonsense outside.

Before entering the palace, he was still hesitant to seek justice for his biological mother, Empress Dowager Tao.

Now, more resolute than ever, there will be no more hesitation.

She just wants to live a good life, what justice, she doesn't understand.

There is no justice for the royal family at all, so how can it be said to seek justice.

She cried all the way back to the princess's mansion.

The moment I saw the child, my heart was broken, and I hugged the child tightly and refused to let go.

"Queen Mother, I'm sorry!"

She was crying out in her heart, repenting.

She is an unfilial daughter.

knew that the death of the queen mother was famous, but as a daughter, she couldn't stand up and raise her arms.

She's ashamed, she's incompetent!

Just beg not to hurt her children.

The mother and son hugged their heads and cried, crying so much that everyone in the princess's mansion wiped their tears.

……

Royal Palace Gardens.

When Ding Tao left, Empress Dowager Yan still sat still.

The garden is stunning and well cared for, so you can enjoy the scenery at any time.

Father-in-law Fu waited by her side, pouring tea and changing water.

"The Queen Mother just let go of Dingtao, aren't you worried?"

"Dingtao is not a stupid person, in fact, the person who knows how to make trade-offs has always been her. She knows how to choose, which is the best way. ”

"Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang! The mother finally got a wish. ”

Empress Dowager Yan smiled slightly, with a faint smile.

"Since becoming the queen mother, this palace often feels that she is not herself, as if she has changed a person. The heart is getting harder, the temper is getting bigger, and the thoughts are getting bigger and bigger. I don't know what will become of Hongu in a few years. Is it hateful, is it despicable, is it betray......ed and divorced?"

"I'm too worried! Everything Niangniang has done is for Your Majesty, and the world will understand. ”

Empress Dowager Yan laughed at herself and did not argue.

She caressed her heart.

She clearly felt that her heart was undergoing a qualitative change, becoming more and more ruthless.

Maybe one day, she will not hesitate to raise the butcher's knife and kill anyone who threatens her.

She was terrified, she didn't want to be like that.

But......

There is no better way.

A lot of things she can't stop.

Sitting in the position of the Queen Mother Regent, she is destined to become a lonely and hard-hearted person sooner or later.

If you are not ruthless, don't be in a high position.

Otherwise......

Harm others and yourself!

Ay!

Replacing wine with tea, pouring a cup of tea, the mood is not half a point, but the eyes become more determined.

She will follow the path of destiny and go on unswervingly.

Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, she has no regrets.
