Heartless Phoenix Queen - C146
“What?” The Queen Mother wants me to go over at this time? ” The Sixth Prince cried out in surprise.
“In reply to Mistress, yes, the Empress Dowager has asked you to go over and ask her now.” The servant bowed his head and said respectfully.
“Alright, I understand. You can leave now.” He had just escaped from that place not too long ago, and was now at the most important juncture. According to their previous plans, this was not the time for them to meet, but the empress dowager had suddenly called him over, and for what reason? However, after thinking for a moment, the Sixth Prince felt that he had to make a trip there to find out.
“Wang Qing, you can take care of the other matters here. Remember, don’t act rashly before I return.”
“Yes, Sixth Prince, oh no, your majesty!” Wang Qing also said in a flirtatious tone.
“Alright, then I’ll go first?” The Sixth Prince was also exhilarated by the emperor’s words, but he didn’t know that the empress dowager was already worried to death.
The time had come after sunset. It was time for the meal, but the empress dowager didn’t feel the slightest bit of hunger. She waited here for the Sixth Prince to arrive, and soon saw him push open the door and enter.
“Imperial Mother, how can you call me over at this time? I’m busy over there.”
“Son, listen to what mother has to say to you.” The empress dowager saw that the Sixth Prince’s expression had also become a bit more anxious, and then she thought of Violet Garden paying attention to her somewhere else. For a moment, she didn’t dare to reveal any more of her emotions, but she calmed down, and the Sixth Prince also grew anxious and blurted out.
“What happened? Why is it that bastard Ghost Wolf gone without a trace? ”
“Sigh, I’m afraid the Ghost Wolf is already dead.”
“Hmm? “What’s going on?” The Sixth Prince also had a feeling that something was amiss. This ghost wolf possessed a lot of resources. Now that it had suddenly died, the Sixth Prince was startled as well. Then, he suddenly thought of something.
“Could it be that Cheng Zi Yuan did it?” When the Sixth Prince said this, it made the empress dowager’s heart skip a beat. Presumably, her sixth son had already clashed with that Cheng Violet Garden for the first time.
“How do you know?”
“Hmph, that slut, I was planning to snatch Helian’s name from the Zhao Family, but she stopped me. Such a brilliant assassination, who else could she have done?” If he hadn’t escaped so quickly, he probably wouldn’t have been able to see his mother at this moment. As for Zi Yuan, he coldly laughed, thinking to himself, “I’m leaving you with your life. I didn’t expect you to still be so arrogant right now.”
“Son, forget it. Let’s not talk about this for now.” The empress dowager interrupted him in time to continue.
“Your subordinate has already been arranged?”
“Yeah, everything is almost ready. We just need to wait for tomorrow.” When the empress dowager saw the ambition in her sixth son’s eyes, she grew anxious and her mouth opened, but it was clear that she was about to become the emperor the very next day.
“After listening to mother’s words, I’ll temporarily put this matter off for now.”
“What?” Queen Mother, what did you say? ” The Sixth Prince was still in the midst of his intoxication when he suddenly heard his mother say so. For a moment, his voice became louder.
“I told you to stop what you’re doing first. There are some things that need to be planned anew. Now is not the time. Do you understand?” The empress dowager’s tone also changed a bit. The Sixth Prince, who was still stuck in his mother’s words, didn’t hear the change in her tone, but this reminder caught Violet Garden’s attention. In an instant, Violet Garden suddenly condensed a wave of killing intent and charged at the empress dowager’s back, causing cold sweat to form on her back. Violet Garden’s killing intent was instantly eased in an instant, and the empress dowager was also afraid that her own tone might have told her that.
As the decisive person on the sofa, Cheng Zi Yuan thinks that all the ministers behind us are already dead. You also know that the Ghost Wolf is dead, and that it is in her hands. At this point, if we were to rashly make a move, it would be a dead end. As the empress dowager spoke, she saw the unwillingness in her sixth son’s eyes, and her heart ached.
“No, no, I’m not willing to give up so easily.” Just a moment ago, someone had addressed him as the Emperor. But now, hearing his mother say this, how could the Sixth Prince be willing to accept this? He couldn’t help but roar in anger and unconsciously took a few steps back.
“So what if you are unwilling? If I say it, you can just let it go. If you act rashly, you can only let us both die.” Do you understand? ” The empress dowager’s gaze grew cold as well, but her heart was filled with helplessness. This matter had originally been catalyzed by her own hands, and now she was going to go back on her word.
“Mother, what happened? That’s not what you told me before. ” The Sixth Prince was on the verge of collapsing, but he still couldn’t believe that these words came from his mother’s mouth.
“Nothing happened. With the death of the Ghost Wolf, I knew that Helian and Zi Yuan probably already knew of our plan. They have already begun to pay attention to us, so any further actions would be futile.”
Humph, if we stop right now, we’ll probably die even faster. I knew that after tonight, the Zi Yuan had already noticed us, so I decided to make a move. If that’s not the case, I also wanted to properly set up a trap for a few days. The Sixth Prince’s face turned cold as he finished his words.
“It won’t, it won’t. He’s your big brother, and I’m the empress dowager of a country. As long as we lower our heads, he won’t do anything.” The empress dowager’s heart was filled with resentment towards the Violet Garden. Her words were a bit too hypocritical, but when the Sixth Prince heard her words, he looked straight at his mother, wanting to find out something. However, when he saw the look of worry on his mother’s face, he understood it to be worry.
“Imperial Mother wanted me to seize the throne back then, and now you’re saying these words. You’re calling me big brother? What kind of brother is he to me? ” The Sixth Prince said unwillingly.
“Child, the time is not right yet. Don’t worry mother will find a way. Let’s take it slowly for now.” The empress dowager spoke in a comforting tone before placing one hand on the Sixth Prince’s body. Although it seemed like she was being comforted, she unconsciously pressed him down twice. The Sixth Prince felt his heart tremble as he looked at his own mother, but the empress dowager avoided her without a trace.
“Imperial Mother, I can’t accept this.”
“Child, forget it. Just let it go. If you keep the green mountain, you won’t have to worry about not burning firewood.” If the Sixth Prince still wasn’t willing to give in, he could just kill him. Just think about the rest of it, now that things had gotten to this point, there was no need to speak any more nonsense. But just as Violet Garden thought this, the Sixth Prince suddenly spoke.
“Imperial Mother, your son will be walking around outside after today. I’m afraid that the Imperial Palace will not be able to accommodate me anymore. Haha, I have spent so much time and effort preparing for this.” The empress dowager’s previous actions had made it so that the Sixth Prince was not a fool, so he naturally knew his mother had been watched. When Ziyuan heard these words, his killing intent was once again concealed, but he only saw the empress dowager continue speaking.
“Go out and relax, arrange all your subordinates and tell them not to rebel anymore. Your big brother’s mother will help you speak of it.” The empress dowager’s face was also filled with worry.
“Alright, this son understands. Mother, take care of yourself. I’m afraid that I will never appear in this palace again in my life. Else, Big Brother will definitely not forgive me.”
“Alright, it’s good for you to go out and relax.” When the empress dowager finished speaking, she sat down and waved her hands.
“Yes, this official will take his leave first.” After the Sixth Prince finished speaking, he walked out with a dejected expression. As for Zi Yuan and Ying, they saw the Sixth Prince walking while giggling. Zi Yuan and Shadow both heaved a sigh of relief at his despondent appearance.
“Shadow, what do you think?”
“Esteemed Empress, I don’t think the Sixth Prince has the empress dowager’s emissary as his envoy and won’t rebel anymore. However, he still needs to be on his guard.” The silhouette also looked at the Sixth Prince’s departing figure, his tone filled with doubt.
“Mm, no matter what you say, all of the powers are under the control of the empress dowager. As long as we keep the empress dowager in check, we’ll know who’s backing them. When the time comes, we’ll massacre them all one by one!” Zi Yuan’s expression remained cold as he continued, “Let’s go down and take a look.”
“Yes, Empress.” After the shadow finished speaking, it leapt up and followed the Violet Garden. After coming down, the Violet Garden gave the empress dowager a kick.
“Did you think I did not see your little trick earlier?”
“Oh, Zi Yuan, I won’t dare to do that again. However, Liu’er no longer has the heart to rebel. Please spare him.” The empress dowager fell to the ground at the same time as the kick. Following that, she walked over and tugged at Violet Garden’s thigh as she spoke. As for Violet Garden, she shook the empress dowager so much that she overturned her chair.
“Hmph, I don’t want to waste words with you. Didn’t I see what you did? ” Violet Garden’s eyes were cold as she looked at the empress dowager. She wanted to see something in her eyes, but the empress dowager’s heart was still pounding, but her expression was still as bitter as ever.
“Zi Yuan, you misunderstand? When did I do anything small? The only reason I said that was to give my son a chance to live. Do you want to take it away from me as well?” As the empress dowager spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes, and it was clear that Zi Yuan’s previous scam had failed. Seeing this, Zi Yuan slowly relaxed and his heart relaxed for the time being.
“Hmph. That son of yours better be honest and stay within the palace. Otherwise, I’ll kill him a million times over.” Even the empress dowager felt her heart skip a beat as she hurriedly added in.
“No, no.”
“Hmph, even you wouldn’t dare!” After she said this, she gave a signal with her eyes towards the shadow. The shadow immediately understood and said.
“You should stay here for the time being. If you take even half a step outside this door, you will know the consequences.” After she finished speaking, she walked out. At the same time, her figure slowly followed behind her. After that, she waved her hand and a group of people walked out.
“What are your orders?”
“Watch the person inside closely. If she is allowed to come out, you can all raise your heads and meet her.” After the shadow finished speaking, it heard the empress dowager run out of the room. Immediately, the shadow shot a glance over.
“Oh, Violet Garden, you haven’t given me the antidote yet.” The empress dowager said impatiently as well.
“Hmph, don’t worry, that’s just a candy. It won’t die. If you take even half a step out of this room, you will truly want to die!” The silhouette just left after saying those cold words.
