Chapter 290 I have to be tied to him
Ouyang Ming was slightly startled when he heard the Queen Mother say this, and then he showed an embarrassed expression: "Mother, Ayi is my son's younger brother after all."
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Really? But when I poisoned him, the prince didn't seem to stop me. Now you are reluctant to do it?"
The embarrassment on Ouyang Ming's face disappeared in an instant, and finally turned into sarcasm: "Mother, what you said is not right. I didn't know that you were going to do such a heavy hand to Ayi at the beginning. If I really knew, I would definitely stop you at that time."
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother stepped forward and slapped him on the face: "Ouyang Ming, don't forget how you knelt on the ground and begged me to keep your position as Crown Prince!"
Ouyang Ming was not his son, but the son of her biological sister and the emperor.
Her son died shortly after birth, and she was heartbroken.
But before she had time to feel sad for long, she discovered that her biological sister who had come to the palace to visit her was lying on the side of the lotus pond and retching.
At first, she thought that her own sister was ignorant and had been deceived and bewitched by some ignorant child, so she wanted to stand up for her.
Unexpectedly... her good sister actually said proudly that the child's biological father was the emperor.
She also said shyly: "Sister, don't worry. The emperor said that he would take me as his concubine and would not let the child in my belly be nameless and without status."
With trembling hands and expressionless face, she asked the best imperial physician in the palace at that time to take her pulse.
The imperial physician said that the child was stable and just needed to be taken good care of.
After she sent her sister away, she asked the imperial physician how old the child was.
The imperial physician informed very clearly that the baby was already one month and three days old.
There were three days in January when her child had been bedridden for half a month, barely breathing, and occasionally when he woke up he would call her mother, who would ask her when his father would come to see him. She could only tell her son that his father was the emperor, who was busy with affairs of state every day, and that he would come to see him after he got off court.
She once knelt in front of the Buddhist temple and begged bitterly, hoping that God would have mercy on her and not take her child away.
But what she didn't expect was that her good sister and the late emperor, whom she once loved, trusted and respected, were making love with each other less than two palaces away from her, and they were so ignorant of what was going on.
He didn't even rush over to take a look at his son when he closed his eyes.
From that day on, she changed completely.
What do you mean by "once you are married, you will be bound by grace for a hundred days" and "brothers and sisters are as close as limbs"? They are all nonsense. Only interests and power are the most important things.
She smiled and helped the late emperor welcome her own sister into the palace and she became one of the four concubines.
However, on the day of her delivery, he bribed the midwife to kill the baby directly, and sent her to see the King of Hell when she was at her weakest.
As for the late emperor, he was a heartless and unfaithful person. As the queen, he could treat them like that, not to mention her, a simple and kind-hearted sister whose appearance could only be regarded as a beautiful girl from a small family.
When he learned that she had died of complications during childbirth, he only sighed in regret and went to see his child. He did not even take a last look at her. If he had taken a look, he would have known that she did not die of complications during childbirth, but was pushed into the water and drowned.
Unfortunately... he didn't even look at it.
Ouyang Ming was the child she had left behind when she took away his mother. Because he lost his mother at a young age, she took the child to live with her under the pretext of taking care of her sister's posthumous child.
It was not because she felt guilty towards her good sister, but because the imperial physician diagnosed that her body was weak and it would be difficult for her to have children. Therefore, she had to have a child to consolidate her power and status.
In order to solve the problem once and for all, she also told the emperor that for Ouyang Ming's healthy growth, people should not know that his mother died giving birth to him, so that he would not be sad about his birthday in the future.
So the emperor issued a ban on everyone.
No one should mention Ouyang Ming’s biological mother.
After she brought the child into her palace, she handed over full power to the wet nurse.
She might pretend in front of others.
Behind others' backs, she treated Ouyang Ming with extreme indifference.
Because whenever he saw Ouyang Ming, he would think of his good sister, and he couldn't help but want to attack him, so that his body was often covered with bruises.
Because of this incident, two palace maids were killed in a fight, with the excuse that the maids did not take good care of Ouyang Ming.
Until he grew up slowly, it was found that his features were not like those of her plain-looking sister, and there was even a hint of her dead son's features. In a trance, she actually mistook him for that child.
Therefore, she didn't dare to spend more time with her, because she was afraid that if she got close to him, she would be sorry for her child who died young.
But despite her indifference, Ouyang Ming was always extremely filial to her, obeying her wishes in everything. Even when she was sick, he stayed by her bedside without sleep, and even boiled and fed her medicine himself.
But she still maintained that cold and indifferent attitude and kept a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
until……
Ouyang Yi went all the way north and captured the fourth city occupied by Northern Jin. When the news reached the capital, the late emperor was very pleased and named Ouyang Yi King Yi. The people even directly called King Yi the military god of Eastern Qin.
From that time on, the late emperor began to mention Ouyang Yi frequently.
Every time he mentioned him, he was beaming with joy and in high spirits.
It was just like when he met Ouyang Yi's mother that year.
It was really ridiculous that an emperor who had been a dissolute man for half his life and treated women as playthings would actually tell her in middle age that he really fell in love with a woman.
It's a pity that the woman couldn't bear his love. Within a few years, she was destroyed along with her country, leaving Ouyang Yi behind.
She felt that the emperor intended to pass the throne to Ouyang Yi, and she felt a little uneasy and even angry.
However, his biological son was no longer around, so no matter who sat on the throne, it would not be the turn of the treasure that belonged to her alone.
So, she has been doing nothing.
Until... Ouyang Ming knelt in front of her, and said with tears in his eyes that he hoped the emperor wanted to depose him from the position of crown prince, and hoped that she could help him.
Because only when he sits on the throne will she be the queen mother.
If Ouyang Yi ascended the throne, even if he would give her honors according to the regulations of Dong Qin, there was no guarantee that he would posthumously confer the title of empress dowager on his biological mother.
She also said that she was of noble birth and how could she be compared with that bitch who had an affair and defiled the palace. This would be a shame for her whole life!
She never trusted him, but she had to be bound to him.
His words moved her, and because of those words, she secretly mobilized her hidden and unexposed secret agents to attack Ouyang Yi on his way back to the capital.
But now, Ouyang Ming actually said that he knew nothing about it, and even said that if he knew, he would have stopped it in advance. This is tantamount to killing the donkey after it has been worn out, and is ungrateful.
It turned out to be the seed left by that little bitch!
Although the Queen Mother was quite old, she was full of energy. The slap on Ouyang Ming's face instantly made his face red. Moreover, she had a Buddha's nail on her little finger, and the sharp Buddha's nail scratched his face, leaving a bloody mark.
"How dare you talk to me in this manner? It's simply treasonous! Don't you even think about who I'm doing all this for?"
After Ouyang Ming was beaten, his face was indescribably gloomy. After a trace of hatred flashed across his eyes, he immediately knelt on the ground.
When I looked up again, the expression on that face had changed.
Ouyang Ming's eyes were red, and he said cautiously and fearfully, "Mother, calm down. It was my fault. I just felt that Ayi was very pitiful. He was blind and his martial arts were useless. After all, he had made great contributions to the East Qin. I really couldn't bring myself to kill him."
