The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Yongjia brought his ministers back to the capital in a mighty manner.

The first thing he did when he returned to the palace was that Emperor Yongjia brought his sons who had left Beijing to pay tribute to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother looked at the father and son carefully, and smiled and said, "It's all black."

Emperor Yongjia:...Mother, why are you talking more and more like the Lu family?

After being polite, the Empress Dowager waved to Zhou Qi: "The fourth brother comes here and let grandma see your injuries."

Emperor Yongjia's expression changed slightly.

Zhou Qi stood there without moving, and smiled rarely to show that he was really fine: "It was just a little bit of injury, and now he has scars..."

"Come here." The Queen Mother interrupted seriously.

Zhou Qi glanced at Xu Roujia in the direction, walked respectfully to the empress dowager, and stood with her right arm facing Xu Roujia.

The empress dowager rolled up her grandson's sleeves. The nineteen-year-old Prince Zhuang had fair arms, but there was an ugly and hideous arrow scar on it.

The queen mother raised her hand and gently touched her grandson's scar, but said nothing.

"Look at you, let's go back and rest."

Not long after, the Empress Dowager became in a bad mood.

Emperor Yongjia asked his sons to leave first, and Xu Roujia also tactfully returned to his ear room first.

"Mother, although Zheng Tai is around Xingzhi, this matter has nothing to do with Xingzhi, so don't think too much." Emperor Yongjia said to comfort his gray-haired mother.

The Queen Mother patted his hand and smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, don't you feel sorry for the fourth brother, I feel sorry for you, wait, I will give him an explanation."

Emperor Yongjia wanted to persuade him again, but the empress dowager waved her hand and chased her son away quickly.

Emperor Yongjia had no choice but to leave.

The empress dowager entered the inner room and lay in the bed for a while before she ordered someone to invite her granddaughter.

After holding it in for half a month, Xu Roujia was afraid of being wronged. When the grandparents and grandchildren met alone, they all turned out and buried it in the empress dowager and cried: "Grandma, why is he so cruel? If the fourth cousin hadn't taken action in time, I, I..."

The empress dowager lived for most of her life, especially in the palace, and she rarely cried. Every time she remembered, she was related to her beautiful daughter and granddaughter. For her granddaughter, she cried twice. The first time was that her granddaughter died of illness, and the second time was that her granddaughter returned as A Tao. But half a month ago, her granddaughter almost died in the yard again.

Thinking of that situation, two lines of tears rolled down the Empress Dowager's face.

The palms and backs of hands are all flesh, but if the backs of hands are rotten, she can't watch the rotten sores spread and ruin her palm that is caring for as much as her life.

"Cry, cry, he can only let you cry for the last time." The empress dowager said tiredly while holding her granddaughter's shoulder.

Xu Roujia slowly stopped crying and raised her face and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The empress dowager lowered her head and whispered softly while helping her granddaughter with tears: "Roujia will know soon."

In September, the Empress Dowager went to Fahua Temple in the Kingdom of China to listen to the scriptures and ordered her nephew Xie Jin to accompany her.

The night before staying in Fahua Temple for a month and leaving for exactly the trip back to Beijing, the Empress Dowager called Xie Jin over.

Xie Jin had suspected that the old man had something to say to him at the beginning of his trip, and it was very likely to be related to the matter in the yard. Now the empress dowager is finally going to speak, but Xie Jin calmed down instead. The empress dowager has always liked him very much. Xie Jin felt that the empress dowager would be more severe this time and there would be no other punishment.

The young British prince was wearing a white brocade robe and a jade-like face. No matter how you look at it, he was a good man.

The queen mother shook her head helplessly, pointed to the lower left and said, "Sit down and try this tea."

Xie Jin sat down with a smile, picked up the oolong tea that the Queen Mother liked to drink the most, and tasted it, and naturally praised the good tea.

The Queen Mother only talked to him about tea.

After drinking a bowl of tea, the empress dowager waved her hand and signaled the palace people to retreat.

Xie Jin secretly straightened his spine and knew that the highlight was coming.

"Kneel down." The empress dowager did not be polite to him and said in a serious manner.

Xie Jin knelt honestly in front of the Empress Dowager.

The queen mother stared at her nephew Sun Junmei's face, shook her head, and whispered: "Don't you feel wronged, Roujia, why don't you recognize you? I will tell you today."

Xie Jin was shocked and looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief.

The Empress Dowager told her everything, but she only said that her granddaughter was kidnapped by a thief for one night when she was traveling. The other party only asked for money but not sex, and did not give up. But Xie Jin didn't believe it, and he wanted to kill his granddaughter because of rumors.

Xie Jin didn't believe it, and his body trembled to defend himself: "It's impossible, how could I treat my cousin like that?"

The queen mother said coldly: "If you hadn't hurt her heart, why would Roujia pretend to never know you?"

Xie Jin wanted to defend himself, but the queen mother looked cold and said angrily: "You can't even tolerate A Tao marrying others, and you will kill her. What else can you not do?"

Xie Jin's mouth was still open, but he only let out a whimpering roar.

The severe pain came, Xie Jin fell to the ground in pain, staring at the queen mother intently, unable to believe that his grandmother would actually poison the tea.

The empress dowager turned her head and didn't want to see him look like this.

After a moment of silence, the Empress Dowager looked to Xie Jin and said, "You must want to ask me, you are all my juniors, why am I so partial to Roujia and the Fourth Brother, right?"

Xie Jin slapped the ground angrily, and his throat roared like a beast.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and was really tired: "I feel sorry for Roujia, but between you and the fourth brother, I am not biased towards the fourth brother, nor do I like you, but I favor the Duke's Mansion, who gave birth to me and raised me."

Xie Jin's roar suddenly paused.

The Empress Dowager raised her head, as if she was suppressing something: "Yes, do you think the relatives of the foreigners are so easy to be? Do you think that with me, the Empress Dowager, the British Duke's Mansion can rest assured? Then I tell you, no! The royal men only have the throne and only the country, and do not violate their rebellious scales. They can be kind, son, filial brother, friend, and respectful. Once they violate it, let alone you, even the emperor, my mother, will be afraid! You are so good, you dare to murder the fourth brother and murder the dignified prince! Now I am alive, the emperor will give me face and will not touch you. When I leave, the first person the emperor will deal with is you!"

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager finally turned around and stared at Xie Jin with regret.

Xie Jin fell to the ground with a blow, and woke up completely.

Realizing that he had done something wrong, Xie Jin tried hard to turn it over and tried to climb towards the empress dowager, with tears in his eyes and begging.

The Empress Dowager's eyes turned red: "Do you think I feel good? I want to match you and Roujia so much, and I want to see you couples' affection. You are sorry for Roujia first, and you want her to die again and again! If you want her to die, you will take the fourth brother and the entire Duke's Mansion as a backer. If I don't take action, the Duke's Mansion of England will be destroyed in your hands!"

Xie Jin cried out in a whimpering voice. He was wrong. He knew he was wrong. He only asked the Queen Mother to give him another chance to meet Roujia's cousin again.

The Empress Dowager cruelly left the seat and walked towards the door.

Xie Jin yelled with all his strength!

The Empress Dowager paused, and when hope was rekindled in Xie Jin's eyes, the Empress Dowager turned her back to him and said, "From now on, you will recite scriptures and pray for me in the temple. When I can't do it, I will plead for you. As long as you have truly repented at that time, for my sake, the Emperor may let the Imperial Doctor cure your mute disease."

Xie Jin doesn’t want to wait that long! My cousin will marry Zhou Qi next year, and he must meet her cousin!

He crawled out in anger.

But the door was closed heavily from outside.

The Empress Dowager had already made arrangements. From then on, Fahua Temple would supervise Xie Jin for her. Even if everyone in the capital had doubts, they would never guess the truth.

After walking far, Xie Jin's vague roar was still vaguely heard.

The Queen Mother's pace is slow.

Do you feel distressed?

pain.

Do you regret it?

The empress dowager did not regret it, and she gave up a grandson of nephew, at least the entire British Duke's Mansion was saved.
