004 “Drunken Bones (Old Words 1v1 High H)” commits suicide

Yan Zhaozhao didn’t even eat breakfast. After dressing up, she went straight to Shoukang Palace in a sedan chair.

The Queen Mother was obviously extremely anxious when she sent someone to inform her so early. Although she was asked to have breakfast first, she would be ignorant if she really delayed the breakfast time.

Sure enough, when Aunt Yumin, the Queen Mother’s personal attendant who was guarding outside the door, saw Yan Zhaozhao, she lighted her forehead with a satisfied expression and hurried forward to greet her.”Greetings to the Queen, the Queen Mother is already waiting for her in the inner hall.”

Aunt Yumin pushed the door open and let her in, “Thank you, auntie.” After seeing Yan Zhaozhao go in, she closed the door with a bow and did not follow her, but waited outside the door with Bi Luo.

Her heart sank slightly, and she had a vague premonition.Yu Min is an old man who has been with the Queen Mother for many years. There is nothing she needs to avoid. But now that she is standing outside the door, it means that no third party should know about this matter.

“I would like to express my condolences to my mother. I wish my mother happiness, longevity and good health.”

The Queen Mother asked her to get up with a smile, “Come here quickly, let Aijia take a good look at you.” She raised her hand and motioned for Yan Zhaozhao to come to her side.

Yan Zhaozhao smiled brightly and responded, “Yes.” Then she sat down next to the Queen Mother respectfully.

“Today, the Ai family has called you here just to comfort you.” She sighed softly, frowned slightly, and said in a tone that said she hated the iron. “The Ai family already knows about the ridiculous things the emperor did yesterday. I really wronged you, queen.” She patted the back of Yan Zhaozhao’s hand, as if she wanted to vent her anger on her behalf.

Yan Zhaozhao smiled but said nothing.

The next second, the Queen Mother suddenly changed the subject.”The Aijia would like to hear what the queen thinks about this matter?” She looked slightly stern, and her voice had a hint of coercion. “Does the queen want to get married?”

Yan Zhaozhao knelt at the Queen Mother’s feet and lowered her eyes.”After returning to my mother, I don’t want to do it.”

The Queen Mother did not let her get up and left her kneeling.”The Ai family knows that the queen will not do such things that are unbecoming of the royal family.” She exhaled a breath and looked into the distance, “Although the emperor is unbecoming, he is the legitimate blood of the Ai family after all. This cannot be changed and there is no doubt.”

She lowered her eyes and glanced at Yan Zhaozhao. Just her profile was enough to make people feel charming. It would be okay if such a woman had the right intentions, but once she used this face and kissed her to the enemy country that they were afraid of, I am afraid that the old emperor would be so fascinated by her that he would be at her mercy. If she were to attack with revenge, they would not be able to resist her at all.

The Queen Mother sighed secretly, thinking that the emperor liked beauties, so she forced her to marry Yan Zhaozhao, the most beautiful woman, to the emperor. She hoped that she would be able to make the emperor concentrate on government affairs, but she did not expect that it would backfire.

She handed the brocade box placed on the table beside her to Yan Zhaozhao, her tone completely lacking the pity and intimacy just now.”This is the last dignity the Aijia will give you.”

Yan Zhaozhao gritted her teeth, then reached out and respectfully took the brocade box and opened it.After seeing what was inside clearly, her heart sank, her pupils shrank, and her face instantly turned pale.”Mother…”

There are two things in the brocade box, a white silk ribbon and a pot of poisonous wine.

Her fingertips were slightly cold, and fear seemed to be winding its way up from her spine. Her mind went blank for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she was surprised to find a cold feeling on her back.

“Queen, don’t blame the Aijia. This is not only for the sake of the emperor and our court, but also for your sake.” She sighed, “There is no reason for a woman to remarry once she is married. Who would look down on a woman who has lost her virginity? What will you do to your people then?If you can hold your head high, your younger brother will be looked down upon and his career will be in trouble.Furthermore, you have two younger sisters at home.How can you ask them to marry someone who has had a woman who lost her virginity?”

Yan Zhaozhao’s fingertips holding the brocade box tightened tighter and tighter, the ends of her eyes were stained with a little crimson, and her teeth bit her lower lip hard.

“Right now, the best way is for you to die to prove your innocence.” Seeing that Yan Zhaozhao remained silent, her tone became more serious, “Queen, you understand.”

She struggled to squeeze out one word, “Yes.”

“The matter has been decided.” As if she was a little tired from talking, the Queen Mother picked up the dragon well on the desk and took a sip. “Tonight, the Ai family has asked people to prepare a farewell banquet for you. The queen should go back and prepare well.”

After saying this, the Queen Mother no longer cared about Yan Zhaozhao, who was still kneeling on the ground, and called Yu Min in who was guarding the door to help her rest for a while. The Queen Mother who smiled at her just now seemed to be just her illusion.This is the true appearance of the Queen Mother.

Abandon her as a discarded child that will harm the emperor’s face.

After a moment, Yan Zhaozhao calmed down and stood up with trembling feet.She brushed off the dust on her skirt, then raised her hand to fiddle with the hair on her head. After making sure that it was not messy at all, she picked up the brocade box, straightened her back and walked out of Shoukang Palace as dignified as when she came.

After seeing his mother-in-law come out, Bi Luo hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Seeing that her face was slightly pale, she was about to ask, but suddenly remembered that her mother-in-law came out of the Shoukang Palace, and most likely she was like this because something happened inside.Now was not the time to ask, so she remained silent and carefully helped Yan Zhaozhao onto the sedan chair and drove her away to Fengyi Palace.

Returning to the dormitory, Yan Zhaozhao dismissed all the maids, placed the brocade box on the couch, and slumped down on the couch as if his legs had suddenly lost strength.Only now, when there are no outsiders, can she be so rude, without any manners as a queen of the middle palace.

Bi Luo was startled and asked hurriedly, “What’s wrong with your Majesty? Is the Queen Mother giving you a hard time?”

She pondered for a long time, then raised her fingertips slightly, “Open it and take a look.”

Bi Luo did not doubt that he was there, and opened the brocade box as instructed. She thought it was a jewelry gift from the Queen Mother, but she never expected to see such a terrifying thing.She suddenly knelt down, her knees hit the ground with a crisp sound, and her tone was full of horror, “My Lady, this…” She has been in the palace for many years, and has seen many things about concubines being killed. How could she not know what the Queen Mother meant by giving these two things.

But I never thought that the queen of the palace would be given death one day.

“My dear, please don’t let your imagination run wild -” the blood on Bi Luo’s face faded, and she clutched the hem of Yan Zhaozhao’s skirt tightly, for fear that she would drink herself in the next second.

“I can’t think of it right now.” She dug her fingertips into her palms, but she seemed to be numb and couldn’t feel the pain at all.”The King of Hell wants me to die at the third watch. Who can keep me alive until the fifth watch?”

“This… what should I do…” Tears overflowed and flowed down her face. She was both afraid and unwilling for her mother-in-law.She hurriedly said: “Let’s go and beg the emperor for mercy… No, look for the master. As long as the empress is willing to bow her head and beg the master, maybe the master will be relenting…” At the end of the sentence, she broke down in tears.She knew that what she said was a fantasy, but it was better than committing suicide.

Her mother-in-law was in her prime, but she couldn’t let the rest of her life be ruined just because of the Queen Mother’s words.

“Stop crying.” Yan Zhaozhao came back to his senses a little, and his eyes fell on the brocade box beside him.A trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, and she reached out to take the brocade box, opened it, and took out the pot of glazed poisonous wine inside.

“Mother, you…” What do you want to do?Before he could even ask the next few words, Yan Zhaozhao smashed the pot of poisonous wine to the ground. A loud bang rang out from his ears. The glass pot shattered and the fragments scattered on the ground. All the poisonous wine contained in it fell like drizzle on the gorgeous carpet. The wine that was supposed to poison the bone marrow emitted waves of sweet smell. People who didn’t know better might mistakenly think that this was a fine wine.

Bi Luo was startled, but did not say anything to stop him.

Then, Yan Zhaozhao held the white silk in his hand, pinched the two ends with his fingertips, and in the next second, he suddenly tore it in half and threw it to the ground.The white silk was stained with some wine, soaking the soft satin even more thoroughly.

After Yan Zhaozhao was frightened, anger suddenly rose in her heart, and she was filled with unwillingness.”My father looks like he doesn’t even dare to offend the emperor. How could he go against the Queen Mother’s wishes for me, let alone the emperor who hates me so much!”

Seeing that Bi Luo wanted to persuade her, she spoke first, “Don’t worry that I will obey the Queen Mother’s will and commit suicide.” There was a hint of ridicule in the corner of her mouth, and she lowered her voice and said: “They are not worthy yet.”

“I have nothing to do with them, why should I hang myself for their so-called royal face?! I am an ant living an ignoble life, am I less than an ant?!” As soon as the conversation started, Yan Zhaozhao seemed to want to express all the grievances in his heart to relieve his hatred.”Why does Chang’an’s face only belong to me? Why do you need me to prove my innocence for that bullshit face?”

Seeing that she was saying some disrespectful words, she glanced at the closed door worriedly and said softly: “Your Majesty, be careful what you say, be careful that walls have ears.”

As expected, Yan Zhaozhao closed her mouth and said nothing, but it seemed that there was a breath stuck in her throat, which could not go up or come down. It was really uncomfortable to hold it in.

When she was in Yongshou Palace, she was frightened by the Queen Mother’s sudden death wish. She didn’t even dare to refute a word. It was only just now that she could finally speak freely, but she was worried that it would cause greater trouble.

On the surface, the Queen Mother said it was for her own good and that she made such a decision for the sake of her people.The Queen Mother thought that she could be manipulated by using her clansmen, but she didn’t know that Yan Zhaozhao didn’t care about the life and death of her clansmen.

In the beginning, it was her so-called relatives and clansmen who pushed her into such an abyss. But after entering this abyss and seeing that she could not bring them any benefit, they decisively abandoned her in the abyss. Such a heartless person, why would she die because of their career.

She Yan Zhaozhao has never been a good person.

Not to mention asking her to die for the people who had harmed her. Even if she died, those so-called relatives would only laugh at her stupidity and resent her for not bringing glory to her tribe.

Death is so easy, but when you die, you have nothing. Only when you are alive can you have hope.

She will definitely find a way to survive, no matter what the cost!
