Chapter 187 Yu'er, I am your mother
Seeing that Chi Feng was still blocking his way and had no intention of moving aside, he shouted, "You dare not listen to me? Do you believe that I will have someone drag you out and chop you to pieces!"
Chi Feng was unmoved and said in a cold voice, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother. I am your subordinate and will only follow your orders."
In the underground palace.
Ling Yueqing saw that the woman in front of her didn't listen to what they were saying and just kept reaching for Emperor Qianyang. If it weren't for Eunuch Liang blocking her in front, she would probably have knocked him down.
So Ling Yueqing took out the ice silver needle. She asked Xiao Mingchen to investigate the origin of this silver needle. It was almost the same as the legend said. It was indeed a good thing.
She has also practiced it these past few days, and now she can probably control the freezing effect of the silver needles through her internal energy.
She walked over with a silver needle and stabbed the woman's body.
Emperor Qianyang asked hurriedly, "What is the emperor's sister-in-law doing?"
Ling Yueqing explained, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I just want her to be quiet for a while, it won't have any effect on her body."
She had already soaked the silver needles with a mixture of high-strength sleeping pills and muscle softening powder, which was not enough to make people fall asleep, but was enough to make them powerless.
Sure enough, after a few breaths, the woman slowly fell down.
Emperor Qianyang immediately said, "Eunuch Liang, catch her quickly."
Seeing that Eunuch Liang had supported him, Emperor Qianyang breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go out and send someone to search this place carefully again. If it's useless, just fill it up."
When they went out, the Queen Mother was confronting Chi Feng. She stopped only when she saw them come out.
Emperor Qianyang pointed at Eunuch Liang who was supporting the woman and said, "Queen Dowager, do you know who this person is?"
The Queen Mother looked a little flustered, but still firmly denied it, "I don't know him. How could he be in my bedroom? Someone must be trying to frame me."
The Queen Mother’s main point is to never admit anything and never turn back even if she hits a wall.
Emperor Qianyang was speechless and ordered, "Eunuch Liang, go find a reliable palace maid and give her a grooming."
"Yes."
Soon after, Eunuch Liang returned with the washed-up woman. She was pale, skinny, and had some purple scars, but she still looked very similar to the empress dowager.
It seems that she is the relative that the Queen Mother mentioned, the other one of the twin sisters of the Queen Mother that they are investigating.
By this time the effect of the medicine had almost worn off, and the woman began to whimper again, reaching out to grab Emperor Qianyang.
The woman had seen Emperor Qianyang. In the portrait given by the empress dowager, the empress dowager often took the portrait of Emperor Qianyang to see her. While torturing her, she told her how filial Emperor Qianyang was, what he had given her today, and what he had done for her.
How was she planning to seize the kingdom and then kill them and their son?
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Her movements became more and more violent, and even Eunuch Liang could hardly stop her.
He looked at the indifferent people watching the show and asked Xiao Mingchen for help, "My Lord, please send someone to help me. I can't stand it anymore..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud shout startled everyone.
"Stop!" Ling Yueqing shouted loudly, successfully scaring everyone. They all looked at her in shock or confusion.
"If you want to talk, let's sit down and talk it out. We can't understand anything if you keep asking me."
Ling Yueqing was speechless. It had been such a long time, why was the situation still stuck here?
Seeing that the woman opened her mouth for a long time but said nothing, Ling Yueqing asked, "Can't you speak? Let me show you."
Seeing the woman nod obediently, Ling Yueqing grabbed her hand and took her pulse. After a while, she took out silver needles and inserted them into her acupuncture points one by one.
"Try it now and see if it feels better."
As expected, she was able to make a sound. Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant. She only said one sentence and they were all stunned.
Although they had guessed it long ago and were mentally prepared, they were still surprised when it really happened.
All I heard her say was, "Yu'er, I am... your mother!"
"How is that possible?! If you are the mother, then who is she?"
Emperor Qianyang looked at the Queen Mother, who immediately stepped forward and grabbed Emperor Qianyang's arm, "Yu'er, don't listen to her nonsense. You are the one who should know whether I am your mother or not."
"If you were not my own flesh and blood, how could I have been so good to you since childhood? Don't you remember?"
The Queen Mother spoke in a hurry, and in desperation, she even called herself "I".
After hearing this, Emperor Qianyang's expression eased a little. From childhood to adulthood, the Queen Mother had indeed always been very good to him and considered him in every way. From childhood to adulthood, she would fulfill his wishes. How could she not be his mother?
Seeing that Emperor Qianyang was about to believe it, Ling Yueqing coughed quickly.
Emperor Qianyang looked over when he heard the voice, and the first person he saw was Li Zhongyu who was tied up beside Ling Yueqing.
His face immediately turned gloomy and he pulled the empress dowager's hand off his arm.
How could a mother collude with outsiders to snatch the throne from her own child? Those boxes of dragon robes and phoenix robes were still displayed there in plain sight.
So he turned his gaze towards the anxious and hesitant woman.
Her voice was already damaged, and she hadn't spoken for so many years, so it was very difficult for her to speak intermittently. Ling Yueqing couldn't cure it for the time being, so she handed her a pen and paper.
"If you can't speak, just write it down first, and I will slowly treat you later."
She looked at Ling Yueqing with gratitude, and with difficulty she picked up the pen with her scarred hands and began to write stroke by stroke.
Emperor Qianyang, Xiao Mingchen, and Ling Yueqing surrounded her and watched her write.
Gradually, from her description, I saw another incredible story.
The flowers in Shengjing bloomed exceptionally beautifully that year, and the late emperor also started a new round of beauty pageants.
The selection rules of the State of Li stipulated that girls of marriageable age from officials' families were not allowed to marry privately, but had to participate in the palace selection, and could only marry if they were not selected.
Luo Shan was one of the concubines back then. After entering the palace, she met Yu Yao, who was also a concubine.
Both of them were unwilling to enter the palace, but were selected and kept in the palace. Naturally, they had common topics and hit it off at first sight. Soon they became sworn brothers and vowed not to forget each other if they became rich and powerful.
From now on, we will support each other in the harem and work together to avoid the attacks of others.
Not long after, Luo Shan suddenly found that Yu Yao would be in a daze from time to time and blush. She touched her forehead with concern, "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Yuyao didn't hide it from her. She leaned close to her ear and whispered to her, "Shanshan, I seem to have fallen in love with someone."
Luo Shan immediately covered her mouth, looked around to see that there was no one around, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
