The Queen Mother's face was pale when King Lijun said, and she was so trembling with fear that she could hardly sit still, and she was paralyzed and completely relied on the support of the pillow to prevent herself from falling.

She was indeed afraid of death.

When King Lijun and Marquis Qingyang entered the palace today, it was like a sudden change of person, and they were no longer as respectful to her as before. King Lijun did this, and the Queen Mother was angry, but she was not so sad, blaming herself for not knowing people clearly, and mistakenly taking the ill-intentioned thief as a good person.

But Qingyang Hou is her own brother, and now at this juncture, her own brother is unwilling to help, and the Queen Mother really can't stand it.

Tears fell in a pour, and the Queen Mother grabbed her chest and choked out with great sadness, aggrieved like a child who couldn't find her way home.

"How can you fall into the well like this, how can you be so sorry for the mourners! So to the Emperor! He is not kind to you, and if such a big thing happens, you are all relatives, but you refuse to help. Not only did he help, but he even killed him! What good will it do you if he dies! Are you worthy of your fathers and fathers in doing so? ”

Listening to the Queen Mother's heart-rending cry, King Lijun couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems that the Holy Admiral has protected you too well. It made you think like this. King Lijun took a few steps closer, leaned closer, and his eyes were gentle: "What made you have this misunderstanding, thinking that as long as you are a relative, you can let you point fingers, come when you call, and go when you wave?"

"You put me in this position, saying that I am in charge of the country, but what you like is that I am gentle and easy to handle, so you can command you at will and not say half a word, right?

"But I am forced to stand in this position, and how many of my ministers call me regent, and when the Holy One returns, can he easily let me go? Even the Emperor Zhixi, who has made great contributions, refuses to let go, so it is impossible for him to shake his throne at all, what good end can I have for being the regent?

"So, everything I'm doing now is actually the same as you, just for self-preservation."

"You, you're thinking too much. The Holy One is not that kind of person, and he will not hurt you. The Queen Mother's face was full of tears, and she anxiously grabbed King Lijun's sleeve, comforting and begging, "The saint is not that kind of person, and he is not a brother between him and Xiao Zhixi, but you are different, you are his cousin." ”

"How is it different, in order to stabilize his position, he said that he was his cousin, even if he was someone, he was arrested and killed."

King Lijun's smile became softer and gentler, like a demon who seduced people into depravity, and his voice was full of comfort.

"Queen Mother, don't worry. What I'm going to do, it's just for the Holy One, to save my life. It has nothing to do with one of your deep palace women. As long as you live in this palace, this king and the Marquis of Qingyang will respect you and be filial to you as before, and your life will not change in the slightest. Isn't that bad? ”

The Queen Mother looked at King Lijun's face, and at this time she realized that she might be useless in saying anything.

In the end, it was not the flesh that fell from her body, and she had no blood relationship with herself, not only could she not count on it, but it was already good that King Lijun did not directly ask for his life.

The Queen Mother looked at the Marquis of Qingyang again: "Dayong, what about you?" Are you going to do the same to me? I am your own sister, I have been kind to you every day, and I have done my best for our Zhou family, even you have to be like this, and I refuse to let go of your nephew! ”

Qingyang Hou spread his hands helplessly, and said with a hippie smile: "Of course, what my sister said makes sense, but you can think about it for me, you know best what kind of character your son is, if you let him come back and continue to sit in this position, and look back and say something else, you have to treat me first for the crime of seizing the military power of the Tiger Ben Army, where can I reason then?" ”

"No, no!" When the Queen Mother heard that the Marquis of Qingyang was afraid of this, she hurriedly rushed up and grabbed his hand, "He won't hurt you, you are his own uncle, I can guarantee that he will never disobey me!" I'll protect you! ”

"Come on, sister. Don't kid yourself. Qingyang Hou helped the Queen Mother to sit back in her place with his backhand, and looked down at her condescendingly, "Just like King Lijun said, he can't even tolerate Xiao Zhixi who fights the country with him, let alone me." ”

"I will tell the emperor that I gave you the military power of the Tiger Army, and I don't blame you!" The Queen Mother tilted her head anxiously, her face was flushed, and the green tendons on her forehead exploded.

Qingyang Hou said: "Can he believe it?" Even if he believed it, he wouldn't be able to do anything about giving me a crime. When the time comes, my head will be pulled off in a flash, what should I do? Will my sister die with me at that time, or can she die in my place? ”

The Queen Mother fell back and slumped in her seat, and the two people in front of her had already made up their minds, so she felt that it was useless to say anything. She is a useless mother, she has no ability to rush out to save her son.

Now she can only pin her hopes on Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu. Since they can quietly send people to the palace without concealing the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, they should also try their best to protect the life of the saint, right?

The Queen Mother thought so, and suddenly thought of herself again.

King Lijun and Marquis Qingyang clearly have a heart of disobedience and want to usurp power! She knew such a big secret, wouldn't she be wiped out in the blink of an eye!

The Queen Mother's eyes widened in horror, and her whole body trembled violently again, and she wanted to run away in fright, but the two people in front of her could not let him escape, and her face was pale with fright, and her whole body trembled like a dead leaf that was about to fall from the treetops in the wind.

Seeing that the Queen Mother's face suddenly changed, Qingyang Hou already understood what she was thinking, and said helplessly: "Sister, you don't have to be too afraid." How can you say that we are also a family, as long as you are obedient and don't talk nonsense, if you are not a tiger wolf, how can you ignore your life. Besides, even if King Lijun ascends to the throne in the future, and King Lijun's biological mother is gone, you can still continue to be the queen mother. ”

The Queen Mother trembled even more, tears kept pouring out, and she looked at King Lijun in horror.

King Lijun smiled, patted the Queen Mother's shoulder, and said, "The Queen Mother really doesn't have to be afraid, this king is not a man-eating demon." In the future, when you ascend to the throne, this king will also be filial to you. ”

Having said that, King Lijun's posture was too frivolous, which still shocked the Queen Mother and didn't know what to do.

King Lijun and Qingyang Hou made a chair, sat opposite the Queen Mother, and chatted with him closely, although the two chatted happily, and often laughed, the Queen Mother sat in place and shed tears in horror, the more the two laughed, the more fierce her tears fell.

At the same time, Qin Yining, who walked out of Ci'an Palace and walked slowly all the way out of the palace, met Li Helan and his party who came with the palace maid.
