Chapter 1929: Chapter 1867: No Confrontation Allowed

Beastly conduct!

When Empress Dowager Mo said those words, she couldn’t stop the hatred from spilling out, along with a bit of shame and guilt, and she even felt reluctant to look at her son.

Shame, disgrace!

Ah Jiu stood up abruptly, eyes filled with fury and resentment, his hands tightly clenched into fists.

"Ah Jiu!" Wufu couldn’t help but remind him, it had taken great effort for Empress Dowager Mo to finally speak the truth, and he mustn’t cause a commotion.

Empress Dowager Mo looked up, seeing his face full of rage, like he was about to kill, and said, "Ah Jiu, it’s all in the past!"

"Royal Mother, why didn’t you say anything?" Ah Jiu knelt halfway down, placing his hand on her knee, his eyes full of pain and guilt: "I, I didn’t know, how could he do this, how could he treat you this way? You are the royal mother!"

Grief-stricken tears slid from the corners of his eyes.

It was anger, resentment, shame!

He deserved to die, no wonder, the heavens would not tolerate him, no wonder the Amethyst was dim, just for this insult to mother, he was unworthy to be emperor, beast!

Tears shimmered in Empress Dowager Mo’s eyes, and she said, "How could the royal mother bear to say it? The royal mother has wronged your father, and you as well!"

"No, royal mother, it is my ignorance. I even respected him as a father all this time, not knowing his insult to you. I was wrong!" Ah Jiu buried his head in her knee, letting the tears fall.

Empress Dowager Mo’s tears also fell silently.

Wufu sighed, took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and changed the subject, saying, "Royal Mother, was it because he did something disrespectful to you and King of Han saw it?"

Ah Jiu also lifted his head.

Empress Dowager Mo wiped the corner of her eye and nodded: "That is exactly so, he kept making mistakes with no chance of redemption."

Insulting a mother is already an unforgivable crime, let alone killing a child? What wrong did that child do? He wasn’t even three years old, what could he possibly know?

But he died so innocently at the hands of his own father!

"Beast!" Ah Jiu cursed through gritted teeth.

Empress Dowager Mo accepted the tea handed over by Wufu, took a sip, and regained her composure, saying: "Thus, this is also one of the reasons the royal mother doesn’t want you to confront him directly. If he could lay hands on his own Legitimate Son, such a young child, how could he easily spare you?"

"Royal Mother, I’m sorry." Ah Jiu was full of guilt: "It is we who have evoked your sorrowful memories!"

Empress Dowager Mo showed a bitter smile: "The only one I have wronged is the former emperor."

The few of them fell silent.

Wufu didn’t want the atmosphere to grow heavier and said, "Royal Mother, since the emperor already knows the empress’s schemes, why only house arrest?"

"Deposing the empress requires a reason!" Empress Dowager Mo recounted to them what she had said to Nanny Shui that day and said: "Do not underestimate the emperor, he has maintained his position for twenty years, with decisions made in his heart." She paused, then added: "Also regarding the earlier matter, I hope you all pretend not to know."

She looked down at her own hands and said: "I am already half a foot in the grave, and matters of face are no longer important, but you are different. This ruined body of mine has shamed you all!"

"Royal Mother, you pierce your son’s heart with such words!" Ah Jiu felt his heart ache even more upon hearing this.

After such an incident, how heartbroken and ashamed must the royal mother be, how helpless in secret, as a son who couldn’t relieve her troubles, even blaming her, would he still be human?

The blame lies with that beast, not a person!

"Madam, the emperor summons the prince." Nanny Shui approached and said.

Empress Dowager Mo frowned, looking at Ah Jiu sternly: "Ah Jiu, the royal mother forbids you to challenge him, do you hear me?"

This child, who knows if he’ll cause trouble!
