Chapter 761

The Empress Dowager's complexion suddenly froze, she looked at Duanmu Kai with a bit of panic in her eyes, but she deliberately pretended not to understand, and said, "What do you mean?"

Duanmukai sighed, and said: "I was there when the concubine mother was given to die. I saw her asking for help from the Queen Mother, but the letter was sent to your palace, but there was no news at all. At that time, you were You have already acquiesced in the death of the mother and concubine, just to please the father?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a slap in the face. The slap was so severe that Duanmukai's mouth was bleeding from the slap.

The queen mother frowned and looked at Duanmukai with boundless anger and a little panic in her eyes.

Duanmukai was a little deaf, but he still looked up at the Queen Mother, with a smile on his mouth, and said: "That's it, I never blamed you, Queen Mother. If you act, you may not necessarily save the concubine mother, it is her life, it has nothing to do with you, the queen mother, it doesn't matter whether you save it or not."

The queen mother squeezed her hand, looked at Duanmu Kai, hesitated for a while, then lowered her raised hand, looked at Duanmu Ze, and said: "You are right, back then the Ai family really wanted to die. Save, but not to please the emperor, Aijia is for you."

Duanmu Kai paused, but did not speak.

The queen mother sighed, and said: "Your mother concubine has done too much, and it has already implicated you. The mourning family feared that the emperor would be unfavorable to you, so they deliberately turned a blind eye and hoped that your mother concubine would die. It's over, let the emperor not take his anger on you."

After hearing this, Duanmukai gave a yes and said, "I understand."

The queen mother looked at him, and there was no trace of resentment on his face. The queen mother was at a loss for what to do frankly. She sighed again and said, "I know you still have some resentment towards Aijia. If you want to resent, then do so."

Duanmukai shook his head again, and said: "Grandson has no intention of resenting the Queen Mother."

Having said that, the queen mother knew that he still hated herself, so she and the eldest princess, the reason why she especially favored these two grandchildren was because she turned a blind eye and closed her eyes when their mother and concubine died. For one thing, the Empress Dowager felt ashamed, so she was extra tolerant towards them.

In fact, both the eldest princess and Duanmu Kai knew about those things. Although they didn't say anything, the queen mother knew that they still had resentment towards her.

Looking at Duanmukai who was kneeling in front of her, she frowned and said: "Why bother, for a woman, if you become the emperor, why worry about not having any woman?"

After hearing this, Duanmu Kai shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Queen Mother, she is different from other women."

The queen mother said, with a look of hating iron but not steel, and said: "Why are you like Rong'er, she has tortured herself for more than ten years for a man, and you too, for a woman, you don't even want the country you gave me!" gone."

The corners of Duanmukai's mouth curled up slightly, he shook his head, and said, "Perhaps this is the place that my elder sister and I imagined the most. Queen Mother, since you can let elder sister go, why can't you let me go?"

Seeing Duanmukai's obsession, the queen mother was about to die of anger, she gritted her teeth and said, "You are different from her."

"How is it different?" Duanmukai smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have such a big ambition, if I didn't meet Linger, maybe I would follow your wishes and hold the country in my hands. But after meeting Linger, I found that I couldn't do it. Linger disappeared for so many years, and it has been hard for me to let go. If it wasn't for my mistake, Linger would not have fallen into the hands of those people, and her whereabouts would not be unknown , without a trace, this is what I owe Linger."

The Empress Dowager was silent, looking at Duanmu Kai, with a bit of distress in her eyebrows and eyes. Back then, she sent someone to bring Duanmu Kai back. When she first saw him, the Empress Dowager was shocked. He seemed to have lost his soul. Read Ling'er's name.

That woman was Duanmukai's childhood sweetheart. The Queen Mother knew of her existence, but she didn't like her. With her around, Duanmukai would definitely not be able to put his mind at ease in his official career. After Ling'er disappeared, the Queen Mother let her go. In her tone, she thought that Duanmukai could be strong without desire, but she found out that she was wrong. Without spirit, Duanmukai became a walking dead.

Sometimes the queen mother also regrets that Ling'er disappeared, is it wrong? If she had known this, the queen mother should try her best to save her and not ignore her life or death.

Although Duanmukai never blamed himself, the queen mother knew that he was no longer the ambitious Duanmukai before, Linger's disappearance made him lose his soul, so how could Duanmukai be at his mercy?

The queen mother sighed deeply, and said: "The Ai family knew that a beautiful woman is a disaster, you are like Rong'er, and your love will die. What's so good about Ling'er? You told the Ai family yourself that you and Ling'er are just as good." It's brother and sister friendship, you don't value her that much, why do you change when she is gone?"

Duan Mukai, who was kneeling there, had guilt and self-blame in his eyes, and he said ashamedly: "I did say that back then, but it was just to cover up. I grew up with Linger, and she always regarded me as a Like a brother, I dare not admit my feelings for her. I thought I would gradually forget it. After Linger left, I realized that everything was wrong. I love her so much that I can give up everything. I'm afraid it's Jiangshan, but when I realized it, Ling'er had already disappeared."

After finishing speaking, Duanmu Kai looked up at the queen mother, with tears in his eyes, which shocked the queen mother: "Who are you?"

With pleading in his eyes, Duanmukai said with a choked voice: "Grandmother, please let me live."

The queen mother's body was stiff, she looked at Duanmukai, after a long silence, she looked at Duanmukai, all these years, he suffered so much, she could see it, she didn't feel distressed, how could it be possible, after all, she was brought up around her knees grandson.

But just letting him go like this, how could she be willing, she was not willing to see the throne fall into other people's hands, but he would not accept it if it was forced to Duanmukai.

The queen mother struggled for a long time, and Duanmukai said again: "Grandmother, do you want me to look like the elder sister?"

Duanmukai mentioned the eldest princess, it was the empress dowager's heart pain, the empress dowager saw how she was in pain because of Yuan Bang's death, in the past ten years, the eldest princess had never been really happy, and her smile was forced.

The Empress Dowager's eyes hurt, she closed her eyes feebly, then opened them, looked at Duanmu Kai, and said: "Okay, the Ai family will let you go, as you wish."
