First, the ministers would report the situation, and then Jiujiu would give her opinion. Then, when everything was almost settled, Lord Liu would jump out on time and plead for the Emperor to select concubines for the concubines on the grounds that the Emperor's harem was empty. Jiujiu would keep silent.
The more silent Jiujiu was, the more Lord Liu would talk. When it was almost time, the Emperor would find an excuse to end the morning court.
It had been like this for half a month. If it weren't for the fact that things were different every day, the ministers would think that they had been in the morning court for half a month.
Just when the ministers thought that today would be the same as usual, the Empress Dowager suddenly appeared before Lord Liu said anything.
When the Empress Dowager appeared, she was wearing a court robe with a serious face. When she looked at Jiujiu, her face was full of hatred, which made the ministers confused.
Why was the Empress Dowager looking at the Emperor with such an expression? Could it be that His Majesty had done something outrageous?
As soon as this idea came to their minds, the ministers immediately shook their heads and denied it.
Although the Emperor was young, he was very shrewd under the guidance of the State Preceptor. No matter how difficult the problem was, he could give a suitable solution. It had only been more than a year since he ascended the throne, but he had already won the hearts of all the ministers.
The Emperor's filial piety was obvious to all. Moreover, as the Emperor, even if he didn't like the Empress Dowager, he was sitting on a vast land. To put it in a vulgar way, there was nothing in this world that couldn't be done with money.
Therefore, as long as there was enough money, there was no problem whether the Emperor was filial or not.
So, what was the Empress Dowager doing?
However, the Empress, who wanted to have her child, had not paid attention to the affairs of Qiantang for a long time, so she didn't know the current situation of the court at all.
As for Lord Liu, he had always felt that he was Jiujiu's uncle, so he acted all high and mighty.
Jiujiu used to be too lazy to talk to Lord Liu, and Jiujiu's silence for half a month was to lead to today's scene.
Jiujiu had been silent for so long that Lord Liu had the misconception that Jiujiu was afraid of him.
Even now, Official Liu and the Empress didn't know that Jiujiu's silence wasn't because she was afraid of them, but because of Jiujiu's ulterior motives. Even though she already knew what the Empress and Liu daren wanted to do, Jiujiu pretended that she didn't know anything on the surface. She put on a confused expression and said: "What's wrong with muhou?"
"Don't call me mother. You're not my child."
The Empress knew that she could no longer control Jiujiu. At first, she wanted to reveal that Jiujiu was a woman. However, some time ago, the Liu family suddenly found a man who looked very similar to Jiujiu.
A few days ago, the Liu family secretly brought this man to the Palace of Peace and Tranquility. After seeing this man, the Empress was shocked. Because even she couldn't tell whether this man or Jiujiu was the real one.
This man was practically another Jiujiu. Not to mention the appearance, even their mannerisms were very similar. If the Empress hadn't had someone verify that this man was the real deal, she would have thought that this man was Jiujiu in disguise.
Originally, the Empress Dowager was going to pull Jiujiu down from her position, and then take the initiative to adopt someone from the ancestral family. She would continue to be the Empress Dowager, and then use the Liu family's power to control the court bit by bit.
However, after seeing that man a few days ago, the Empress changed her mind.
Since this man was so similar to Jiujiu, instead of pulling Jiujiu down from her position, it was better to kill Jiujiu directly.
Moreover, now everyone thought that Jiujiu was a man. Then, she would reveal that Jiujiu was a woman, and bring this man out. At that time, this man would be the real Jiujiu, and Jiujiu would be a shameful imposter.
This trick of mixing the real with the fake, and the fake with the real. If it was really carried out, it would be wonderful.
The moment the Empress' words came out, the court instantly exploded.
Jiujiu sat on the dragon throne and curled her lips. She looked at the Empress, whose eyes were full of disgust, and said, "Mother, what do you mean? How can I not be your child? "
"You still want to mislead the people with your lies. Aijia will let the officials see who you are today."
The Empress Dowager's face was full of pain, and tears came out of her eyes. She raised her hand and pointed at Jiujiu's face, gritting her teeth, and said, "She is not Aijia's son. Aijia's son was taken away half a year ago, and only came back yesterday. She is the person who ordered people to take Aijia's son away. Furong, invite Aijia's son in."
In order to arouse the anger of the officials, the Empress deliberately had people make countless wounds on the man's body when she found him, making him look more pitiful.
When Furong helped the man into the hall, the officials who were still a little confused were instantly stunned. Fuck, were their eyes playing tricks on them? Or was there really a clone in the world? Why, why were there two emperors here?
The officials looked up and saw Jiujiu sitting on the dragon throne. Then they looked down and saw an emperor standing beside the Empress Dowager. So, what was going on?
Jiujiu looked at the substitute standing beside the Empress and curled her lips. She raised her hand and clapped. As she clapped, she said with a smile, "Zhen finally understands why people say that the older the ginger, the spicier it is. Mother is indeed Mother."
Hearing Jiujiu call her Mother, the Empress' brows instantly furrowed, and she said sternly, "Don't call me Mother. You don't deserve it."
The Empress' anger was just right, as if she really hated Jiujiu because Jiujiu hurt her child.
It was as if, as she said, Jiujiu was not her child, but a person who came out of nowhere to replace her child.
Only Jiujiu knew that the Empress really hated her. She hated her for not listening to her and drinking the bowl of poison. She hated her for not listening to her and letting the unknown baby boy become her child. She hated her for not listening to her and dying obediently. She hated her for not being able to become an absolute ruler.
If color was used to describe the Empress' heart, Jiujiu felt that the Empress' heart must be as black as ink.
However, none of this had anything to do with Jiujiu. Today, the Empress thought that victory was in her hands, but in fact, when she appeared, she had forced herself into a state of eternal damnation.
Today, the Empress would not get what she wanted as she wished. On the contrary, she would lose everything she had now, and even more.
