"Hahaha... Is it unbelievable?"
"Does it hurt? That's really... I'm sorry!"
"But Emperor, I've treated you well enough all these years, I've completely regarded you as my own."
"When you were hungry, I got the best wetnurse nanny for you, when you were sick, I summoned the best imperial physician for you..."
"I didn't expect you to be so heartless!"
"The Shih Family, Wanxin, your uncle, your cousin, you ignored them all!"
"I truly raised an ingrate!"
The Empress Dowager spoke word by word, conveying thoughts she had kept buried deep inside for many years.
Zhao Junyao felt a chill run through his entire body, as if he were engulfed in a timeless glacier.
He used up all his strength just to restrain the impulse to stab the Empress Dowager with his sword.
The atmosphere in the room was quiet and deathly still, icy and rigid.
No one knew what the Emperor would do next, and everyone dared not speak, including Xia Ruqing who was hiding behind the screen.
