Chapter 454 The Grace of Upbringing

Empress Jiang's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, but her expression was not showing the slightest bit. She said with a dry smile, "There are all kinds of wonders in this world. It's really strange that there is such a poison."

Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty said that, but you don't know what she means?"

Empress Jiang's face darkened, and her voice became colder, revealing the majesty that her empress should have: "What does the prince mean by this? Is it true that this palace must know about this poison?"

The corners of Zhu Yan's mouth curled up slightly, with a hint of sarcasm, his eyes seemed to be covered by thousands of years of frost, very cold: "What is the meaning of this palace, how can the empress not know? Your maid is out of the palace this morning, and at this time it is also very cold. She should be back, could it be that she didn't tell the empress that your good helper Ma Liu has fallen into the hands of Ben Gong?"

Empress Jiang sneered: "I really don't know what nonsense you are talking about. I don't know what you are talking about."

Knowing that she would not admit it, Zhu Yan raised his hand to signal for people outside to come in. Xing Ying led two guards into the hall, and the two guards held Ma Liu in their hands.

Ma Liuyi was in a mess, with obvious scars on his face, obviously he had been tortured.

Empress Jiang pretended to be calm, and said in a deep voice: "Who is this person? I don't know him, so don't the prince want to splash dirty water on me indiscriminately."

Zhu Yan glanced coldly at Ma Liu, Ma Liu's legs softened, he hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and shouted to Empress Jiang: "Empress Empress, you have to save the life of the villain, the villain is a person from the world, and that Doctor Xia has no grievances or enmity, and he doesn't know her, if it wasn't for your majesty's instruction, how could the villain do such evil things? Now that the incident happened, I still forgot that my majesty saved the villain one or two."

Empress Jiang was trembling with rage, she really lost her sight, she actually found such a stupid fellow, how could she save him if he pleaded guilty like this? Even she can't get rid of the responsibility, so why talk about helping?

"You're talking nonsense. You obviously did the evil yourself. Why did you blame it on me? Why did you instruct you to do this?" After Queen Jiang finished speaking, she looked at Zhu Yan and said with a sneer, "Okay You Zhu Yan, it seems that you arranged all of this. Since the incident when you were young, you have always hated me. I know it well, but no matter what, I am also your mother. How can you be so vicious? .”

"Mother?" Zhu Yan sneered, staring back and asked, "Are you really Ben Gong's mother?"

Empress Jiang's heart skipped a beat: Hearing what he meant, did you know his background?

Looking at Zhu Yan's expression again, even though she was quite dissatisfied with her before, she was definitely not as cold as she is today. It seems that he knew it, and she couldn't help complaining to the emperor. The child was taken under her name, and now that she has grown up, when it is time for her to reap the harvest, she tells him about his life experience, making him and her alienated.

Empress Jiang said: "No matter what, you are a child raised by this palace. You should know that the grace of nurturing is greater than the love of childbearing."

"The grace of nurturing?" Zhu Yan sneered, and said again: "Did the empress ever hug me when I was young? Did she ever take care of me when I was sick? Or for my own sake?" Have you specially prepared food and clothing?"

He stared at Queen Jiang's face, and said again: "When I came back from the battlefield, did the empress ask me, even if only one sentence, did I suffer when I was away? Did I get hurt? Did I ever think about my father?" Mother, can you ask me a question?"

Empress Jiang was speechless, each of these incidents seemed to be the most common concern of parents for their children, and also the most basic method of maintaining family ties, but she had never done any of them, and she had never even thought about it. .
