Taiping County hosted a banquet, and Queen Mother Bao and a group of local officials sat in the hall, facing the dry dishes of fruits placed on the table, dryly waiting for the emperor's arrival.

Everyone was thinking deeply and was silent.

Earth-shattering news always spreads very quickly.

At this time, although the guests gathered at the banquet, they all knew that Zhangjiapu was wiped out, which was definitely not good news for them.

But who knows, His Majesty has always been kind to Queen Mother Bao and treated her like a mother, so he might continue to turn a blind eye and continue to fool her.

Or maybe, if the Queen Mother Bao wipes a few tears and says a few words for them, they will be fine.

But I was afraid, because His Majesty had anger in his heart and couldn't find a suitable person to vent it to. In the end, the Queen Mother Bao's family had nothing to do, but they, the little fish and shrimps, suffered.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts.

At this time, how could Empress Dowager Bao feel better?

She knows best in her heart what mistakes she and Hua Shi have made and what things they have done. She also knows in her heart that although His Majesty cares about family ties, he is not a fool who can tolerate everything.

When he comes out this time, he will definitely find out something and ask her angrily. How will she answer, how will she defend, how will she plead? He is making plans in his mind, hoping that when the emperor comes,

Can come in handy.

During the stalemate, the quiet outside suddenly became noisy, and the footsteps were so urgent and dense.

As the eunuch announced loudly:

"Your Majesty has arrived..."

The door of the hall was pushed open violently, and Shi Yu Wulei appeared at the door dressed in casual clothes. Behind him were the palace guards, Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan.

The Empress Dowager and all the guests stood up quickly. Except for the Empress Dowager, everyone else quickly walked out from behind the seats and knelt down to bow down.

Including the flowers around the Queen Mother.

He was frightened when he saw the emperor, not to mention that now that the emperor had a dark face and a frightening aura, he shrank even more and knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

Shen Liuzhen stood behind the emperor, glanced at Huashi kneeling on the ground, slightly raised the corners of his lips, smiled, and said in his heart:

"Look, I said that I will definitely come back to have this drink with you, but I have the final say on how."

"Long live your Majesty," the crowd shouted.

However, Emperor Ulei stood at the door without moving or saying a word. He glanced gloomily into the hall, and finally landed on the Queen Mother Bao.

When the Queen Mother Bao saw the emperor looking at her, she suppressed the anxiety in her heart, greeted her with a loving smile, and said:

"The emperor is here. My mother knew that your carriage was coming. She got up early and went to meet you on the official road. But you abandoned the carriage and ran away. I am disappointed... What's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"

The emperor looked at the loving and familiar face of the Empress Dowager Bao. This face had given him great comfort when he was most alone when he was a child.

He has always regarded her as his biological mother.

But now, after meeting her in person and seeing how loving and gentle she was, those childhood memories came back to me, and I couldn't help but feel soft-hearted again.

His deep eyes lowered, shook slightly twice, and decided not to look at her again.

Without saying a word, he directly passed the Empress Dowager Bao, walked to the top position and sat down. Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan naturally stood on both sides of Emperor Ulei.

The Queen Mother turned around awkwardly, holding the handkerchief tightly in her hand.

The officials kneeling on the ground, including Hua Shi, did not dare to get up or speak out without the emperor's order.

For a time, the tense and depressing atmosphere in the hall reached its peak. Many people felt so guilty that their arms supporting their bodies trembled.

The Queen Mother Bao smiled, pretending not to know anything, and still said lovingly:

"Emperor, if there is any official business that makes you unhappy, let's talk about it later. We have been happily preparing for the pick-up for two days. Let's eat first. It's so hard to travel so far... We can get back to business after resting. "

Emperor Ulay sat on the throne, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly spoke softly:

"He seizes fields and encloses his land, privately raises troops and buys horses, and deliberately conspires to rebel. I have now found out that the evidence is conclusive and the crime is unforgivable and he will be executed immediately."

"Yes." Dugu Jian responded, gave the guards standing on both sides a look, and immediately stepped forward, two of them, and headed straight for the kneeling Hua Shi.

Everyone was so frightened that they never thought that the emperor would be so decisive and wanted to kill the son of Empress Dowager Bao.

The Queen Mother Bao was extremely shocked. When she saw that the guards were trying to pull her son away, she immediately rushed towards Hua Shi who was kneeling on the ground. In desperation, she cried and shouted:

"Wait a minute! Don't touch him!! It's all what I did and it has nothing to do with him. Emperor, if you want to kill me, just kill me. I did all these things and he doesn't know anything!"

Hua Shi was shocked, and in the arms of the Queen Mother, she raised her head in confusion and looked at the emperor with her mouth open, as if she hadn't reacted yet.

Seeing the emperor's dark face, his deep eyes majestic and cold, glaring at him with disgust, he subconsciously grabbed the Queen Mother Bao's arm tightly, his eyes flashed with fear, and his teeth Trembling, he whispered to the Queen Mother:

"Mom, save me...save me."

The emperor closed his eyes and turned his face abruptly. He gritted his teeth as if he was enduring something, and seemed to be resolutely giving up some thought. He added in a steady voice:

"Can't you drag an old woman away? Why don't you execute her quickly?"

As soon as the guards heard this, two more guards immediately came out and went up to drag Empress Dowager Bao and Hua Shi away.

"No!!! No!!!"

"Auntie, save me! Auntie, save me!!!"

The Empress Dowager held on to Hua Shi's sleeves tightly, and Hua Shi also held on to her with all her strength.

The two people cried heartbreakingly, but were finally pulled apart. Hua Shi was held up by two guards and dragged out with footsteps like the wind.

The Empress Dowager was held tightly by the arm by a guard and restrained in place. All that was left in her hand was a piece of sleeve fabric pulled from Huashi's body, and her fingernails had been broken due to too much force. It bled, leaving a twisted and hideous trail of blood on the piece of cloth. It seemed to be carrying her flesh and blood.

She cried heartbrokenly, turned her head to look at the emperor sitting on the seat, and cried out:

"Your Majesty, you can't kill him! Mom, please, Mom is just such a child! If you kill him, I won't be able to survive!!!"

When the emperor heard this, his eyes shrank, he pursed his lips tightly, maintaining the emperor's calmness and dignity, and said coldly:

"How come my mother only has one child? He is gone, and I still have me. I will provide for my mother until she is old and die, and I will be filial to my mother before her bedside."
