Chapter 46: Reprimand
The throne seems to me to be a burden, and I am happy to be at ease without being entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
"Okay," the mother changed the subject and began to ask me about my homework, "a few days ago, you are familiar with the art of war taught by your master?" ”
I took a breath and smiled awkwardly.
Seeing this, the imperial sister was afraid of being asked by the mother, so she hurriedly pulled the female official under the pretext that she had something to do, and quickly slipped away.
I craned my neck, my eyes drifted away from the imperial sister, I really wanted her to take me with me.
"Stand down."
The mother queen suddenly retreated from everyone.
The female officials rushed out and closed the door for the mother and me. Only the old female official Aunt Zhixun who was sent by the mother emperor that day was left.
"Get on your knees." The Mother suddenly burst into tears.
My heart sank, I didn't know why, and I knelt on the ground: "My son knows his mistake." ”
The Empress glared at me: "Do you know what is wrong? What's wrong? ”
I was so scared that my hands were sweating, and I didn't know what the Mother was angry with me about.
Thinking about it, could it be that she knew Han's true identity?
I looked up and timidly asked, "Is it wrong that I shouldn't be hanging out with musicians all day long?" ”
"Hit." The Mother Queen's order.
Aunt Zhijing found a feather duster out of nowhere and pumped it on me.
"Ah......h
The pain spread from where the whip was drawn.
It's really painful.
"What's wrong with you?" The Mother Empress looked serious.
I speculated.
It can't be Han's identity, if according to the temper of the mother emperor. If she really knew Han's identity, she wouldn't come to beat me, she would just bring Han directly, kill him in front of me, and tell me not to approach anyone who might betray her.
I figured this out and breathed a sigh of relief.
I guess the only thing that can make the mother emperor beat me is my own mistakes.
I went through today's conversation in my mind, and suddenly I had a horrified thought. With wide eyes, he asked softly, "The throne?" It can't be ......"
I knelt on the spot in a daze, hunched up, afraid that Aunt Zhixi's feather duster would hit me again.
But this time, I guessed correctly.
The Empress Mother walked up to me, lowered her voice, leaned over my ear, and said angrily: "I trained you to be the crown prince, but you don't have any fighting spirit. How old are you, why aren't you half like me?! ”
"Mother ......" I was shocked.
It turned out that everything she said to the imperial sister just now was false, and what she said at the moment was true.
In this way, the edict of succession is also true.
I shook my head, incredulous.
The Mother Mother whispered in my ear and asked, "I don't care who you like in private, you shouldn't let anyone see what you really mean." Because everything you love will become your weakness. ”
"Mother......" I sat down on the ground in horror, and suddenly rushed over and hugged her thigh, "Mother, he is my savior. ”
The mother kicked me away and asked, "If the rebels use the life of your male pet to blackmail you into giving them a city, will you change it or not?"
"I ......"
Of course, it will be changed, just a city.
If the city is gone, you can fight again, but if Han dies, you won't be able to live.
The Empress apparently saw the answer in my expression and glared at me: "If this city is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, the rebels will use it to entrench themselves and gradually expand their power. Do you think that this Yanju Palace has been around for hundreds of years, and it is shabby, and I haven't demolished it? And why do I have to travel and risk my life every few years to get here? ”
