Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 397 Contradictory Ideals

clack.

When the comb fell to the ground, Princess Ronghua fell to her knees and said in panic:

"Mother, mother... I... I am thinking of you! The prince... The prince is your obstacle. Without him, you...you just..."

"Shut up!" Empress Dowager Lin slapped the dressing table, turned her head and sighed, "Why... do you think I really want to be the Emperor Daxuan?

"I have become the emperor, so who will be the prince, will you do it?"

"Mother, mother..." Princess Ronghua knelt forward, threw herself on the empress dowager's knee and said, "Without you, Daxuan would not have the prosperity it is today. No matter your merit, ability or people's will, you should be in charge of the world. !"

"Sinister! How dare you speak so shamelessly!" Empress Dowager Lin jumped up against the case, and angrily scolded, "Why, you only see me fighting for fame and gain, only seeing me using power and tactics, but why can't you see me Your good intentions!
"Rong Hua, do you really think that the reason I do so many things is to ascend to the top of Daxuan's power and wear a yellow robe?

"You are wrong, you have no idea what we are facing," Queen Mother Lin shouted excitedly, "Daxuan is more dangerous now than ever before!
"Do you think that those powerful ministers who secretly opposed me and forced me to let go of power just sincerely hope that the emperor will return to court?
"Wrong! Their concealed intentions are terrible. As long as my rights are gone, the emperor will be at their mercy in the future."

"These invisible dangers are the deadliest dangers. For this reason, I did not hesitate to slander my innocence and spread rumors in order to bring those invisible dangers to the surface and eliminate hidden dangers for the emperor.

"I did this not to be worthy of the Li family's ancestors, but because I want to continue this prosperous world, and I can't let it fall in my hands!"

"Mother... Mother Empress..." Princess Ronghua was full of surprise, she never imagined that her ideals were so far from those of the Queen Mother.

"I have done so many things and used so many methods, not for myself!" Queen Mother Lin smacked her lips again and again, "Ao'er is gentle by nature, and he is indecisive when things happen. Now I can deter the court because of me, but one day I will leave Me, then he will definitely be manipulated by powerful officials, and he will be in jeopardy.

"At the beginning, the reason why I let him be the emperor was to hope that he would change. Now I don't let him do it because he has not changed, and at the same time, it is to protect him.

"Grandson Li Xun, although talented and intelligent, also has some political savvy," Queen Mother Lin shook her head and said, "But he is too hostile and self-willed, if he is allowed to rule the world in the future, I am afraid it will cause even greater disasters!

"Rong Hua, do you understand?" Empress Dowager Lin glared at Princess Rong Hua, and said bitterly, "I just wanted to find a qualified king for Daxuan, but I never wanted to become king myself! "

"Mother's queen, mother's queen..." Hearing this, Princess Ronghua finally understood her situation, she burst into tears immediately, and begged with remorse on her face, "Baby... I know I was wrong! Please give me another chance.

"Mother... It's the child who will make a mistake. I have done so much before, and I think it is for the sake of my mother. Please forgive me this time, woo..."

"Hey!" Queen Mother Lin sighed, and said again, "Rong Hua, are you really doing it for me? You clearly know that Shen Tiande is mine, but you still let Shen Qian take his life!"

"Ah?" Princess Ronghua looked innocent, "Shen Tiande... is your man? Impossible? Isn't he from the royalists? Besides, he went to grab the iron coffin. He clearly wanted to harm you, so I Only then did Shen Qian kill him, let him experience the feeling of being betrayed by his relatives, and punish him well..."

"Enough!" Queen Mother Lin shook her head and sighed, "I really regret that I didn't teach you well, I only let you learn my tricks, but I forgot to teach you how to be a man!

"From today onwards, you and your son-in-law are forbidden to listen to Chaoguan. From now on, chant scriptures and pray for blessings, and forgive yourself for your sins!"

Tingchao Temple is an abandoned Taoist temple, which was later used to imprison the royal family. It is similar to the clan mansion in the Qing Dynasty. People who enter it are like life imprisonment unless they have special circumstances.

"Ah? No...no..." Princess Ronghua fell to the ground, begging bitterly, "I don't want to listen to Chaoguan, I beg my mother to be kind, my mother is kind, Ronghua will never dare again, never dare again , woo woo woo..."

Listening to her daughter's entreaties, Empress Dowager Lin looked up and lamented, and an inadvertent moisture flashed in the corners of her eyes.

However, she waved her jade hand in the end, and several eunuchs appeared beside her, pulling Princess Ronghua down...

"No, don't do it... Queen Mother, I haven't been able to comb your hair yet, Queen Mother..."

As Princess Ronghua's hoarse pleading became farther and farther away, Empress Dowager Lin's face returned to normal, revealing supreme majesty.

At this time, a person suddenly appeared behind the screen in the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

This person was wearing a light-colored monk's robe and a monk's hat. He was actually a young nun.

"How is it?" the queen mother did not turn her head, still looking at the direction where Princess Ronghua was being dragged away, and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

"Um……"

The young nun nodded slightly, following a ray of sunshine, revealing her delicate face, it was Shen Tiande's daughter——Shen Qian! ! !
Seeing that the Queen Mother was still motionless, Shen Qian couldn't help asking softly: "My father, is it really your man?"

"Yes," the Queen Mother replied without hesitation, "When your father took refuge in me, he only asked me for one condition, and that was to keep you four brothers and sisters safe.

"Your elder brother's death was an accident, but I can guarantee the safety of the three of you."

"Father……"

Thinking of her father's death by her hands, Shen Qian shed tears of regret.

However, Princess Ronghua used the lives of the three Shen brothers to force her to submit. If Shen Gong didn't die, then her three brothers would die.

"Don't give up on yourself," said the Queen Mother, "Your father's death was the fault of Rong Hua alone, and it has nothing to do with you. From now on... you can follow me!

"You are still so young, there are still many meaningful things to do!"

"The Empress Dowager..." Shen Qian was stunned for a few seconds, then hurriedly knelt down and prostrated, "Shen Qian is willing to follow the Empress Dowager and listen to her orders!"

"Really?" asked the Queen Mother, "What if... I let you marry Xu Zun?"

"This..." Shen Qian's body trembled, as if struck by lightning.

"Don't worry," the queen mother signaled Shen Qian to stand up, "I will not force you to do things you don't want.

"To tell you the truth, I, Daxuan... lack a woman." The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed a deep light, "This is the only way to check and balance the cabinet."

"Ah?" Hearing these words, Shen Qian felt her blood boil, and she even forgot to thank you...

……

After burning an incense stick, the Empress Dowager entered the main hall of Wanfu Palace alone, and after pressing the mechanism button on a certain stone pillar, the secret door used to hide opened immediately.

When the Heavenly Tribulation happened, the Empress Dowager hid in this secret room.

At this moment, the stone door opened, and when the queen mother entered the secret room, she saw an old Taoist priest with silver hair and a fairy-like style sitting cross-legged on the futon inside.

Hearing the movement, the old Taoist hurriedly got up, saluted Queen Mother Lin respectfully, and shouted "see Queen Mother".

"I have wronged you, Master Qiu!" The queen mother respectfully made a mysterious gesture and said, "All the layouts have been completed, and the Daxuan Navy will soon enter the East China Sea. When the internal and external troubles are resolved, it will be the day you leave the customs. !!!”
