Chapter 916: He used to be her little tail
Translator: 549690339
Outside the palace, a group of ministers was thinking seriously.
All the princes of the previous emperor were dead, and it seemed that only li Prince could smoothly ascend the throne as the new emperor.
No one had ever dreamed that the final outcome would be like this.
All of them were terrified of the future emperor.
As Prince Li, he was already feared by people. If he became the Emperor of Dong Li, it was easy to imagine how intimidating he would be.
But at the same time, if he were to take the position, the Nan Zhao, the XI Jin, the northern Di, and other countries would be much more wary.
Perhaps no country would dare to bully them in the future.
Thinking of this, he felt that there was nothing wrong with li Prince’s succession. At most, they would be more careful in the future and not provoke him.
Just as everyone was thinking about this, they heard neat footsteps coming from the tunnel behind them.
A Minister noticed Xiao Jiuyuan and Xiao Yechen and quickly said,”Li Prince is back.”
Although Xiao Jiuyuan had not yet accepted the Imperial decree, all the ministers in front of him thought that he would become the Emperor.
So when they saw him, everyone knelt down,””We pay our respects to li Prince.”
In front of the Empress Dowager’s Palace, a large group of people knelt on the ground.
Xiao Jiuyuan glanced at them and went straight into the Empress Dowager’s Palace without even looking at them.
The ministers behind him looked at each other, but they didn’t dare to not call out. They got up and knelt down obediently.
Xiao Jiuyuan took Xiao Yechen, Yun Qianyu, and the others all the way to the Empress Dowager’s bedroom.
When the eunuch outside the bedroom saw Xiao Jiuyuan, he hurriedly greeted,””Your servants pay their respects to li Prince.”
Xiao Jiuyuan ignored these people and went straight to his bedroom.
Behind him, Yun Qianyu also stopped and stopped Xiao Yechen.
“Let the Empress Dowager talk to Xiao Jiuyuan for a while.”
Xiao Yechen thought for a moment and nodded, but he didn’t dare to be careless in case the Empress Dowager schemed against Xiao Jiuyuan.
In the palace, the Empress Dowager was sleeping weakly on the big bed. She was as thin as a stick and her hair was all white. She was so weak that she was almost breathless. She just slept lightly on the big bed.
Xiao Jiuyuan looked at the Empress Dowager and felt that she was completely different from the elegant and Noble Empress Mother in his memory.
Xiao Jiuyuan’s eyes were slightly wet as he slowly knelt down.
The Empress Dowager on the bed heard the sound and fumbled around to open her eyes. She looked up in the direction of the sound.
He saw Xiao Jiuyuan kneeling on the ground.
The Empress Dowager stared at him and didn’t say a word for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said,””You’re satisfied now? are you satisfied now?”
Xiao Jiuyuan did not say a word and slowly said,””Mother.”
This “mother” made the Empress Dowager’s eyes fill with tears.
The Empress Dowager couldn’t help but think of Xiao Jiuyuan’s appearance when he was a child. He was like her little tail, always following her and calling her mother.
That soft and sweet voice made her heart soften.
The Empress Dowager looked at Xiao Jiuyuan in pain.
“Originally, I should have joined forces with the new emperor and set up a trap to kill you and Yun Qianyu. However, in the end, I couldn’t bear to kill you, so I killed the new emperor. The new emperor didn’t expect me to kill him. He can only blame himself for being too careless. The old woman looked down on me and thought that I was a useless old woman.”
“But I didn’t know that I had my own minions in the palace. Before the previous emperor died, he left me a few useful people. Those people were willing to die for me, so I had people poison the new emperor. In the end, my subordinates dragged the new emperor and self-destructed.”
When the Empress Dowager said this, she laughed until her tears fell like rain.
