Emperor Dehui's questioning made the Queen Mother's already ugly face even paler. Her hands clutched her shirt tightly, and her eyes flickered, as if she was trying her best to suppress the turmoil in her heart.

These sharp words hit the Queen Mother's heart like a storm, and she felt like a lonely boat in the wind and waves, drifting and helpless. This is the helplessness and pain she feels as a mother who pours love and protection into her son, but is questioned, feels helplessness and pain, and at the same time has a sense of resentment and unwillingness.

She opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to refute Emperor Dehui's words, but she couldn't help but think of what Luo Huaizhou had described before and what he expected to see on herself, and she couldn't help but swallow the words back from her mouth.

Suddenly, the Queen Mother's heart fell into many contradictions, she wanted to be recognized by her sons, but she couldn't bear their accusations against herself; She wanted them to be happy, but she didn't want them to get out of her control.

For a while, she didn't know what mood to use to face her son, so she could only be speechless.

But Emperor Dehui didn't plan to stop there, and after his eyes swept around the queen mother's face, he continued: "As for the Hua family, I know it very well in my heart, but I didn't expect that the queen mother's prejudice against the Hua family was so deep, and she would slander the ministers behind her back, which is really chilling. The queen mother tried her best to suppress the Hua family, was she afraid of the troubled times of the ministers, the chaos of the ministers, or the desire to listen to the government with the curtain down? ”

In the end, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Emperor Dehui's eyes, implying a little imperceptible danger.

Luo Huaizhou raised his eyes in astonishment, his gaze wandered back and forth between the two, his eyes flickered, revealing an unbelievable color, and a touch of sadness that could not be concealed.

The Queen Mother was shocked when she heard this, and looked at Emperor Dehui in a daze, her eyes full of shock and incomprehension. After a long time, she asked in a trembling voice, "You...... You actually think of the mourning family like this? ”

Emperor Dehui didn't answer, only glanced at her lightly, and then looked away, his attitude noncommittal.

It was only at this moment that the Queen Mother suddenly realized that Luo Huaishang, the son, had built a line of defense against himself since he didn't know when, no matter what he said or did, he couldn't touch his heart, and could only watch him get farther and farther away from him.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, Emperor Dehui's sharp words today appeared in her mind one by one, lingering like a spell, and she seemed to be more and more unable to see through this son, and sometimes even felt that he was so strange that she was frightened. Now, not only is he becoming more and more cold and alienated from himself, but he also does not hesitate to say such rebellious words to himself in order to protect the Hua family, which is simply disobedient and unfilial, and disregards human morality!

The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more depressed she became, and all kinds of complex emotions were accumulated in her heart that was difficult to relieve. She felt as if she had fallen into endless darkness, and there was no light around her, only chills all over her body, and the anxiety and panic, resentment and resentment in her heart made it difficult for her to calm down.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes suddenly, and an almost piercing cold light burst out of her cold eyes, and she shouted: "The emperor has lost his mind and said such words!" ”

As she spoke, she slapped her palm on the desk, glanced at Emperor Dehui fiercely, and said hatefully: "Even if the emperor doesn't remember the painstaking efforts of the Mourning family for you for many years, but the kindness of the Mourning family to give birth to you, raise you, and protect you, does the emperor have to ignore the Hua family?" It seems that the emperor is sitting too comfortably on this throne, and now he doesn't even pay attention to the mourning family! ”

The Queen Mother's last sentence was quite meaningful, and it seemed to imply a bit of warning.

Luo Huaizhou's heart tightened when he heard this, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at Emperor Dehui.

I saw Emperor Dehui half-hanging his eyes, slowly turning the blood jade wrench, making people unable to see the look in his eyes, but a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"What, is the Queen Mother threatening me?"

As he spoke, Emperor Dehui had already raised his eyes and met the Queen Mother's sharp gaze.

The eyes of the two collided in the air, as if the sword was striking, stirring up the sound of gold and iron clashing, and in an instant, the atmosphere in the hall was already tense.

Witnessing the-for-tat confrontation between the two closest relatives for power again, Luo Huaizhou closed his eyes gloomily, and there was a deep exhaustion between his eyebrows, and endless despair and sadness hit his heart, like a reef crashing by waves, bearing wave after wave of invasion, making him physically and mentally exhausted, and he was no longer able or unwilling to persuade and reconcile the contradictions between the Queen Mother and Emperor Dehui.

The past is gone, the estrangement has been completed, even if there is more melancholy and unwillingness, pain and struggle in my heart, but at this moment, I can only be speechless.

Luo Huaizhou got up suddenly, saluted the Queen Mother and Emperor Dehui respectively, and said: "The sons are a little tired, and I want to go back to the house to rest first, and I hope that the queen mother and the imperial brother will forgive me." ”

When the Queen Mother and Emperor Dehui heard this, their faces softened slightly, and they each looked away from each other and looked at Luo Huaizhou.

Without waiting for the two to speak, Luo Huaizhou owed to them again, and then walked towards the outside of the hall without looking back, and looked very resolute in his hurried steps.

The Queen Mother's lips moved, and she wanted to stop him, but her heart was occupied by countless intricate emotions, and her mood was disordered, and she knew that the moment was not appropriate, so she gave up.

Emperor Dehui frowned, took his eyes back from Luo Huaizhou's back, and then got up and tidied up his robe unhurriedly, and said to the queen mother without raising his head: "In this case, the son will not bother the queen mother here, and I hope that the queen mother will not work too hard, and take care of the phoenix body." ”

Emperor Dehui's words were said casually, but in fact they were meaningful, obviously there was something in the words, and the Queen Mother felt a pang in her heart.

The Queen Mother looked at him with a complicated expression for a long time, and then she wiped away the grief and disappointment in her eyes, and a sneer couldn't help but appear on her lips, like sarcasm and disdain, but under a closer look, there was a trace of sadness and sadness hidden in that smile.

"Hasn't the emperor heard the story of raising tigers? You protect the Hua family like this, have you ever thought that you will leave a disaster, and one day you will cause endless troubles for yourself? Moreover, Zhou'er is ignorant of the world, so it's just a matter of being confused, doesn't the emperor know the sinister truth of people's hearts in this world? The emperor had never even seen these people, so how could he guarantee that these people were not malicious in approaching Zhou'er? But the emperor not only connived at Zhou'er to be with them, but also jointly denounced the mourning family with Zhou'er for these people who had never known each other, was the emperor also confused? ”

The more the Queen Mother spoke, the more excited she became, and the emotions that she had tried so hard to suppress surged again, which gradually intensified the uneasiness in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel a little more anxious.

"I really don't know if those people have ill intentions, but Huaizhou's feelings, I know better than anyone else!" Emperor Dehui slowly raised his eyes, and his gloomy gaze was like a poisonous snake rushing out of his eyes, tightly wrapping around the Queen Mother, and then his voice sank, and he asked word by word: "Have you forgotten the Queen Mother?" ”

The Queen Mother breathed a flicker, a different color crossed her eyes, and her face changed and changed in an instant.

Suddenly, she held her trembling fingers tightly, forcibly suppressed the anxiety and uneasiness in her heart, barely calmed herself, and pretended to speak strongly: "The emperor's words today really disappointed the mourning family very much, and also surprised the mourning family, but now it is becoming more and more difficult to see through the emperor." ”

When Emperor Dehui heard this, he only smiled lightly, and replied meaningfully: "If you can make others easily see through my thoughts, then you are not a qualified monarch, this is what you taught me, Queen Mother." ”

After that, he bowed slightly to the Queen Mother, and no longer looked at the look on the Queen Mother's face, and strode out of the inner hall.
