Ye Zhenzhen came to Cining Palace in a furious manner.

The Queen Mother sat calmly as if nothing had happened. When she saw Ye Zhenzhen coming, she smiled and said, "Why is my son so impatient? Look, he was sweating all over."

"Mother," Ye Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, "I have something to discuss with you."

The Queen Mother retreated from everyone and said, "Do you have anything to say? Maybe something happened in the palace that you can't handle,"

"The Queen Mother is serious," Ye Zhenzhen saw that there was no one around, so she immediately changed her title, "I behave uprightly and never do such despicable things."

The Queen Mother frowned and looked at her displeased.

Ye Zhenzhen took a deep breath and asked, "Why did you kill Bai Xiangru?"

"Bai Xiangru is dead?" She stood up in shock.

"No, are you disappointed? She didn't deserve to die."

The Queen Mother sat back slowly and said coldly, "The Queen has done her job very well. Don't mention that the noble concubine is involved in a life-threatening lawsuit. If something goes wrong, just blame it on me, an old woman."

Ye Zhenzhen did not argue with her, but just asked, "Why did you kill Bai Xiangru?"

The Queen Mother said angrily, "The Ai family should also ask, why should I kill her?"

Ye Zhenzhen replied, "Because she died, the emperor's life is also in danger. Bai Xiangru told you her plan. Killing Bai Xiangru is not the ultimate goal, your goal is to kill the emperor."

The Queen Mother's face suddenly changed, and she pointed at Ye Zhenzhen with trembling fingers, "You, you, how dare you say such nonsense! The Emperor is my son, and it's not too late for me to die for him, so how could you harm him? Him! The words you said today are enough to tear the body into pieces! I don’t want to lose my face as an old woman now. Let’s go and argue with the emperor!” After saying that, he stood up to pull Ye Zhenzhen away and said, “ I chose a daughter-in-law like this from a thousand choices, which made the family uneasy, mother and son were at odds with each other, and now they want to frame me and harm my own son..."

Ye Zhenzhen sneered, "Don't keep saying 'biological', the emperor is not your biological son at all."

These words were like a restraining spell, which immediately immobilized the Queen Mother. She had already walked in front of Ye Zhenzhen and stretched out an arm to pull Ye Zhenzhen. When she heard this, she stopped moving and raised her eyes to look at Ye Zhenzhen dumbfounded.

Ye Zhenzhen’s eyes were cold.

After being stunned for a while, the Queen Mother came back to her senses and laughed, as if she heard a big joke, "You crazy woman, are you really crazy? Can you say such a thing? I have raised the emperor for more than 20 years. , He's not my son, could he be your son?" After saying that, he turned around and walked back to sit down, walking a little slowly.

"Since I dare to say this to you, it means that I already know the details. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that the emperor would be sad when he knew it. Some things are better known than not known. The relationship between you and the emperor has eased before, and I also hope that everyone will My wife is living an ordinary life like this, but I didn’t expect that you actually hate the emperor so much that you hate him so much that you want to kill him! If Bai Xiang was arranged by you, I should have thought of this, but as soon as I returned to the palace, I kept saying: Encountered so many things, I didn't take care of you for a while. You are not willing to be lonely, and you must go out to harm others. I am very puzzled. Although the emperor is not your biological son, he has been under Cheng Huan's knees for so many years. Why do you hate him to the bone?! ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother looked a little depressed and lonely. She sighed and finally said, "You are right, the emperor is not my biological son. My biological son has died long ago."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open with a creak. The two of them turned to look and saw Ji Wu Jiu walking in. His face was pale and his steps were unsteady. Ye Zhenzhen quickly went over to help him.

"Mother...?" Ji Wu Jiu shouted.

"I am not your mother," the Queen Mother glanced at him, "I said, my biological son has died a long time ago, and was killed by your father."

Ji Wu Jiu and Ye Zhen Zhen were both shocked.

"I didn't expect it," the Queen Mother sneered, "He killed my child, but gave me a **** born of a bitch. You are not my son, you are a bitch!"

"Mother!"

"Don't call me Queen Mother!" the Queen Mother roared, "Don't you know, I hate Ye the most in my life, and I hate Ji Jiancong second. Neither you nor your father are good people!"

Ji Wu Jiu was already losing blood, but now he was so furious that he covered his heart and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Ye Zhenzhen was frightened, and while wiping him with a handkerchief, she turned to the outside and shouted, "Quickly pass too——"

Ji Wu Jiu grabbed her, "Don't worry," he turned to look at the Queen Mother, "Why did the father want to kill his own son? A tiger's poison cannot eat its own son. Is there any misunderstanding in this?"

"It's not because of you, a bitch! He was afraid that your throne would be snatched away by others, so he poisoned my child! Your origin is unknown, and he was worried that no one would take care of him, so he did this Jiuzhan A magpie's nest trick. In order to prevent you from being harmed by others, he simply stopped asking for other heirs and left you alone." The Queen Mother said, tears had already flowed down. She wiped her tears and sighed, "Ji Jian Cong, Ji Jiancong, if all your mechanisms are exhausted, that **** will still run away with someone else in the end, retribution, retribution, hahaha!"

Ji Wu Jiu shook his head and looked at her in disbelief, "I don't believe it."

The Queen Mother was laughing wildly.

When Ye Zhenzhen saw Ji Wujiu’s brows were furrowed and his face was as golden as paper, she didn’t care about anything else and helped him out of Cining Palace. Ji Wu Jiu was afraid that the Queen Mother's nonsense would be overheard, so he ordered Feng Youde to bring two of his confidants to serve in front of the Queen Mother, while others were not allowed to get close to her.

Cining Palace was a bit far away from Qianqing Palace. Ye Zhenzhen directly helped Ji Wu Jiu back to her Kunning Palace. She sent the imperial doctor to see him and took some medicine. Ji Wu Jiu's complexion improved a little. A little more.

Ye Zhenzhen saw him leaning on the pillow in a daze, his eyes dull. She held his hand and said, "If you want to hear it, just ask me. There is no need to go there and be angry."

Ji Wu Jiu's pupils regained focus and looked at her, "Mother... is everything the Queen Mother said true?"

"She is indeed not your biological mother. As for whether the late emperor... is unknown. But there are many ways to keep your throne. There is no need to be so desperate. He is his biological son, so I think the Queen Mother She must have misunderstood the late emperor. That’s why she hated you. I only knew one but not the other, and I didn’t tell you clearly earlier, which almost caused a catastrophe and harmed you."

Ji Wu Jiu held her hand instead, "You don't have to blame yourself...how did you know about this? Who is my biological mother?"

"Ye Leiting told me that this involves a past event more than 20 years ago. In short, the late emperor fell in love with a woman, and the two gave birth to a child, you. Later, the two did not get together. , the woman married Ye Tingting’s father, Ye Zhijin.”

"General Ye?"

"Yes, that's General Ye."

Ji Wu Jiu knew Ye Zhijin’s name, although he had never seen him before. This is a legendary figure who had a rough youth. Later he joined the army, fought against pirates on the coast, and trained the navy. The Japanese pirates who had been a problem for decades have almost disappeared since then. Not only that, Ye Zhijin also presided over the establishment of the first navy of the Qi Dynasty, built warships, and stationed troops and artillery on the ships. These warships patrolled the sea, and their main tasks were to combat pirates and ensure the safety of passing merchant ships; they also accepted escorts for merchant ships. business to earn commissions.

In short, the name Ye Zhijin can be recorded in the annals of history, and it is not just a few strokes, but a big book. However, Ye Zhijin retired from service in his prime. After building up the navy, he resigned and went into seclusion. Since then, the wizard has been hard to find, leaving only his son Ye Tingting to continue serving the court. He has become a legend himself.

Ye Zhenzhen continued, "When your mother gave birth to you, she had already broken up with the late emperor. Later, she took you to marry General Ye. General Ye gave you the surname Ye and gave you a name. Ye Tingting will be your pawn. After a few months, he could recognize you. Later, you were snatched away by the late emperor and raised in the palace. I was a little strange at first. If there was an extra child in the palace, why no one knew about what happened back then. , today it seems that when the Queen Mother's son died, the late emperor directly replaced the child with you, and then sent away the slaves who took care of the child, so no one could recognize the difference. The royal heirs are no different than ordinary people, always If you have a family background, the late emperor’s move was really well-intentioned.”

Ji Wu Jiu was silent for a long time, digesting what he said, and then asked, "Then...where is she now?"

"I heard from Ye Leiting that she and General Ye went out to sea to travel around the world on a merchant ship, and I don't know when or what month they will be able to come back. I have asked Ye Leiting to tell me as soon as she comes back," Ye Leiting Zhen Zhen paused for a moment when she said this, and saw Ji Wu Jiu start to be in a daze again, "She and General Ye gave birth to a child, he is sixteen years old this year, and he will take them with him when they go to sea. When they come back, you mother and son, brother We can meet each other. You don’t have to be too sad. Your biological mother is still alive, and she has a brother. Your brother will still need your care in the future."

Ji Wu Jiu didn't answer. He pulled Ye Zhenzhen into his arms and hugged her tightly. He half-closed his eyes and had no expression on his face, just sitting quietly like this.

Ye Zhenzhen knew that this incident had a great impact on him, and it was impossible to say that he was not sad. Although there was some rift between him and the Queen Mother, he always treated the Queen Mother as his own mother. The reason why he was disappointed in the Queen Mother was because he felt that she did not care for his son, which chilled the heart of the son. But suddenly one day, this biological mother became a stepmother. Not only that, she was also a stepmother who wished he was dead. Everything in the past was turned upside down in an instant, and it was really unacceptable for a while.

Ye Zhenzhen felt that Ji Wu Jiu was a bit pitiful. His father died early, leaving the world in his hands. He became the emperor in his teens, and he was still an emperor with great ambitions. Not to mention fighting with courtiers, there were many troubles waiting for him in political affairs. I can get up early and work late every day, and if I do something bad, I will be chased and scolded by the officials, so I can bear it. As a ruler, he sets an example for the world, but his moral standards are all out of shape. His own father killed his brother and forced his father to do so. How will it be written in the history books? When he came to his place, his cousin came to make trouble and was executed by him. If this was written down in the history books, it would definitely not sound good; his mother became the stepmother again, thinking about kicking him out of her position every day...

Thinking of this, Ye Zhenzhen felt very distressed and hugged Ji Wujiu back, rubbing her arms gently and comforting him in a low voice.

Ji Wu Jiu closed his eyes and lay on her shoulder, sighing, "Zhen Zhen, I really only have you now."

***

The next day, Ji Wu Jiu ordered to change all the people serving inside and outside the Cining Palace. He announced to the outside world that the Queen Mother was ill and should not go out or see people. Excuse me, no unrelated person is allowed to set foot in Cining Palace without the imperial edict.

This is house arrest.

After all, she has been her mother for twenty years, and it is better to cultivate kindness than to show kindness. Her own son died again, and although she caused a lot of trouble, she did not cause any real trouble. Now she was hit just as hard as him, and she was already a little crazy. She was either talking to herself or laughing.

For this reason, Ji Wu Jiu could not stop being cruel to the Queen Mother, so he kept her under house arrest in Cining Palace.

It's okay to fool ordinary people with the excuse of contracting an illness. People can naturally tell that something is wrong. Family scandals should not be publicized, and such things should not be leaked to the outside world. So some people started to criticize Ji Wu Jiu, thinking that he was unfilial.

If the Empress Dowager's maternal clan was powerful enough and manipulated public opinion, Ji Wu Jiu might have been scolded. However, the Xu family had already been dealt with piecemeal by Ji Wu Jiu before. In the court, There is no power anymore. Now the most powerful party is the Fang Party. The Ye Party was leaderless before due to the departure of Ye Xiu Ming. Now because of Ye Mufang's entry into the cabinet, it has faintly found an organization and gradually moved closer to the Ye family, forming a relationship with the Fang Party. A situation of conflict.

The two groups with the most say in the court did not like the Xu family. The Fang Party controlled the officials and the Ye Party controlled the public opinion. Now they directly beautified Ji Wujiu's behavior of putting the Queen Mother under house arrest. Even if there are one or two discordant voices, they will be slapped on the beach by the mainstream wave and cannot stir up any waves.

Everyone has two skins, no matter how you say it, it makes sense. Ji Wu Jiu was directly praised for being a filial son who has a troubled mother.

According to later historical records, he personally selected the maids and eunuchs of Cining Palace one by one. Actually, what he said is not wrong. Those people were indeed selected by him personally.

After doing this, Ji Wu Jiu decided to leave the palace to pray for his mother. This move naturally attracted praise.
