Chapter 291 Zombies Climbing Out of the Mass Grave
The Queen Mother looked at Ouyang Ming in front of her. His red eyes, frightened expression and cautious look reminded her of the appearance of her late son on his deathbed.
The anger in her heart suddenly subsided, and there was an inexplicable hint of confusion on her wrinkled face, and her voice became much softer.
"If you show mercy, he may not show mercy to you. The arrow he shot at the Spring Banquet today, is that something a person who can't protect himself can do? I'm afraid he has been hiding his abilities. This time you made the wrong decision again, arranging a marriage between him and Xiao Ning's daughter. It won't be long before the Xiao family army will be used by him. How can you keep your throne secure?"
Ouyang Ming looked at the Queen Mother with a painful expression on his face.
I just don't know how much of this pain is real and how much is fake.
"I understand. I will do everything according to your wishes."
The Queen Mother walked up to Ouyang Ming, squatted down, gently held his face, and said painfully, "My son, I don't want this to happen, but you are the only one I can rely on now."
She herself couldn't tell how much sincerity and how much falsehood were in these words.
It was even difficult to tell whether she was talking to Ouyang Ming or to her child who had died decades ago.
After saying this, the Queen Mother's body shook involuntarily, with a hint of trance in her eyes.
Ouyang Ming looked up, the cruelty in his eyes had already been hidden. He held the Queen Mother in fear, and said with a hint of mist in his eyes: "Mother, don't say these things, you must take care of yourself. This matter, I will plan, but Ayi's military exploits are known to everyone in Dongqin. If the prince takes action openly, I am afraid he will be criticized. This matter needs an opportunity."
The Queen Mother was helped to steady herself, and she felt a little better from the dizziness.
Before, I left the capital to recuperate in the Mountain Resort in the hope that my health would be better.
But I didn’t expect that after going to the Summer Resort, I almost couldn’t come back.
Later, she met Li, who boiled medicine for her every day. She felt better. Then she met Taoist nun Qinglian. After taking her medicine, she felt much better.
But I didn't expect that one of them was a murderer and the other was a liar who pretended to be a ghost.
Tonight, I am exhausted both physically and mentally.
"I have already thought about it for my son. Isn't Ouyang Yi going to southern Xinjiang with Bai Wei to get the Moonlight Grass? That would be the best time."
Ouyang Ming suddenly understood: "What the Queen Mother said is absolutely right. When the two of them get the Moonlight Grass and return to Dongqin from Southern Xinjiang, that will be the best time. By then, not only can they die quietly, but Southern Xinjiang will also feel guilty towards Dongqin. In order to maintain the alliance that the two countries have just signed, Southern Xinjiang will have to compensate Dongqin."
When the Queen Mother heard this, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes: "My son, you can think of a trick that kills two birds with one stone. It's amazing."
Ouyang Ming frowned again, "However, the assassins cannot be from the imperial guards. Otherwise, if they are discovered by the people of Southern Xinjiang, it will probably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. The prince is only accompanied by the Imperial Guards. I wonder if the Queen Mother can send someone to do it?"
The Queen Mother frowned slightly when she heard this.
Indeed, although she helped Ouyang Ming win the throne, Ouyang Ming also had the majority of decision-making power in the court.
But the most powerful military force in the imperial city was still in the hands of her and her brother, the head of the Wang family, Wang Nian. That was a team secretly trained by the late emperor. In the past, the late emperor trained them to protect him. At that time, the Northern Jin Dynasty approached the imperial city step by step, and cities were captured one by one.
The late emperor said that he was not afraid and would live and die with Dong Qin.
But in fact, he secretly spent a lot of money to train a secret guard team of 10,000 people.
These people are good at martial arts and are not afraid of death.
His original purpose was that if Northern Jin was really about to attack, these ten thousand people could not only resist the foreign enemy, but also protect him from leaving the capital.
It’s a pity... He probably never thought that he would take his life.
After all, in his eyes, I am his most generous, virtuous and dignified queen.
She hid the pain he had caused her and greeted him with a smile, but that didn't mean there were no wounds in her heart stabbed by him, and it didn't mean she didn't feel pain.
Now that the Queen Mother heard Ouyang Ming say this, she came to her senses again.
The person in front of her was Ouyang Ming, the child born to her beloved sister, not her son.
So... there are some things she must make clear.
"In that case, I will send someone. But my son, you need to remember that I supported you single-handedly. It is because of the Wang family that you are who you are today. Without me and the Wang family, you would be nothing."
Ouyang Ming smiled and bowed, "Of course. After all, the emperor is the queen's son. Although he has royal blood, he also has royal blood."
When the Queen Mother heard this, a hint of obvious disgust flashed in her eyes.
But he was not wrong.
Her good sister has the same father and mother as her and shares the same blood, so Ouyang Ming is her child and also has Wang family blood flowing in his body.
"It's good if you know."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the hall.
The moment the Queen Mother walked out of the hall, Ouyang Ming's expression changed instantly. His face, which was originally smiling and warm, suddenly showed a hint of ruthlessness that was visible to the naked eye.
At this time, Eunuch Gui walked in. Seeing the wound on Ouyang Ming's face, he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, oh, Your Majesty, what happened to you?"
Ouyang Ming reached out and gently wiped his cheek. Seeing his blood-stained fingers, he said calmly, "It's no big deal. It's only natural for a mother to teach her children a lesson."
Eunuch Gui frowned: "But if this is the case, what should we do when we go to court tomorrow?"
Ouyang Ming said calmly, "Pull the pearl curtain in front of my throne tomorrow and tell them that I am tired today and the pearl curtain can help me calm down and relax."
After hearing what Ouyang Ming said, Eunuch Gui could only sigh and said, "Yes, then at least let me call the imperial physician to apply medicine to the emperor."
"No need to call the imperial physician, send me to the queen! The queen will apply medicine for me."
Only when he went to the queen would his heart find a moment of peace.
Although Eunuch Gui looked anxious, he could not disobey Ouyang Ming's wishes, so he could only say, "Yes, let's go to Kunning Palace."
The next day, at daybreak, a ray of sunlight penetrated through Yuncheng and shone on the willow branches, casting a mottled silhouette.
"Miss, Miss, get up quickly, Eunuch Gui is here!"
Bai Wei heard the voice and said angrily: "Let him wait!"
Then, turn over and continue sleeping.
Hongying stood at the door, looking anxious, but she didn't dare to barge in without permission, so she could only continue at the door: "Miss, we can't let him wait. He is here on behalf of the emperor, and we can't afford to offend him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Wei opened the door and came out.
Hongying finally relaxed a little. Holding the water for washing, she looked at Bai Wei and was so scared that she almost dropped the copper basin on the ground: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Bai Wei's face was pale, her expression was dull, and there was a slight blue spot under her eyes. She looked... like a zombie that had just crawled out of a mass grave.
