General's humble stand-in

Xu Shi has suffered too much, and God has pity on Tao Zhuo.Just when Tao Zhuo couldn't bear the humiliation and wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall: The empress has arrived.

The prince was obviously taken aback, he hastily let go of Tao Zhuo, got up and dressed indiscriminately.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came, and as the bead curtain in the inner bedroom was pushed aside by the maidservant, the queen in brocade phoenix costume walked in.Walking up and down her head swayed slightly with her steps, the face with a little makeup was not fading, and her mannerisms were full of grace and luxury.

The queen was strict, and the prince was always afraid, but now he knelt down in a hurry with no blood on his face, "My son, please greet the queen."

"Ann?" The queen sat down slowly while leaning on the carved pineapple wood chair, frowning and scanning the obscene scene in front of her, "It's good not to be mad at you, just hide in the room and do these things during the day and night."

"Yes, I know I was wrong, and I beg your mother to be happy and angry. If it is because of your injury, then I really deserve to die."

The queen sighed helplessly, "You are not young anymore, I want to help your father to share some burden. Although you are a prince, you can't be too arrogant. If you really anger your father, you may not be allowed to do this." The crown prince was handed over."

Hearing this, the crown prince kowtowed in panic, "Mother, I don't dare to mess around anymore."

"Get up."

Under the queen's signal, the maidservant at the side helped the prince up.

"You go out first, what you are making today is really absurd, there are so many people in the palace, it has been reported to me in a short time. Here I will help you deal with the aftermath, your father, you can figure it out .”

The prince backed away obediently, and when he reached the door, he looked back at Tao Zhuo unwillingly.

Tao Zhuo still huddled in the corner of the bed, tightly clutching the torn clothes on his chest.Still panicking, her bluish-white fingertips kept trembling, and the wet tears on her face moistened her pale lips.

Picking up the teacup, the queen gently blew on the floating tea tip, and asked in a flat tone, "Tell me, why did you seduce the prince?"

Saying that, he raised the end of his eyes and looked at Tao Zhuo with a little contempt.However, when she saw Tao Zhuo's face clearly, the teacup in the queen's hand trembled violently, and gradually a few drops of hot tea fell on the back of her hand.

"Empress." The maid at the side nervously stepped forward to wipe her, but was gently stopped.

"I'm fine." The queen put down the teacup, her expression suddenly became abnormal, "You guys go down first, I'll talk to him alone for a while."

After everyone exited Yong'an Hall, the queen stood up and walked quickly to the bed.She bent over and wanted to tear off the clothes on Tao Zhuo's shoulders, Tao Zhuo seemed to be extremely frightened, and suddenly slapped the Queen's white palm away, trembling all over and hiding.

The queen realized the panic in Tao Zhuo's heart, so she withdrew her hands and sat on the side of the bed to comfort him softly, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. It's Yan'er who is unreasonable, and I will definitely punish him. What's your name? name?"

The gentleness in her eyes made Taozhuo gradually calm down, but she was still hiding in the corner of the bed, watching the queen's every move vigilantly like a poor little girl who just escaped from danger.

"Peach burning."

The queen asked again, "What do your parents do?"

Tao Zhuo shook his head, "No, no parents."

Hearing this, the queen raised her hand to cover her chest, as if trying to calm down her emotions.

After a while, the queen asked urgently, "How come there are no parents? Then do you have adoptive parents?"

Tao Zhuo shook his head again, "Without adoptive parents, I was abandoned when I was a baby, and I lived by begging."

The queen didn't ask any more questions, but stood up and wandered back and forth in the room.Turning his head to look at Tao Zhuo from time to time, his eyes are actually a little moist, making Tao Zhuo's invisible emotions flow in the empress's eyes.

"Come here," the queen called.

Soon the door of the palace was pushed open, and a few maidservants came in.

"Go find suitable clothes for this young man, don't let others wear them."

The maidservant was about to leave in response, when the queen ordered, "Bring another pot of tea, and bring some refreshments."

Tao Zhuo didn't understand, so he looked at the noble empress in front of him, thinking, did she feel guilty about herself because of the prince?

Sitting next to the bed again, the queen wanted to hold Tao Zhuo's hand, but Tao Zhuo hurriedly dodged away.

"You, you don't have to be afraid, I really won't hurt you." The queen's tone was a little anxious, "I just think you look like a person, and you are inexplicably kind."

Tao Zhuo frowned, "Mo Zikeng?"

"What?" The queen was taken aback.

Tao Zhuo explained, "You mean, I look like Mo Ziji?"

"What Mozishe?" The queen was confused, and then couldn't help but shake Tao Zhuo's hand again.

Tao Zhuo didn't dodge this time, and let the queen's armored fingers rub against her palm.

After all, the queen didn't say who Tao Zhuo resembled, but chatted with Tao Zhuo a lot, all about Tao Zhuo's past and present life.

After pinching the last piece of pastry and handing it to Tao Zhuo, the Queen couldn't close her mouth with a smile, "Eat it slowly, if you like it, I'll ask someone to make more, and you can eat as much as you want."

Tao Zhuo stretched out the bright red tip of his tongue to lick the cake crumbs on his lips, and a pair of almond eyes suddenly burst into tears.

Seeing this, the empress hurriedly took out the handkerchief in her sleeve, and gently wiped the corners of Tao Zhuo's eyes.

"what happened?"

"I, I..." Tao Zhuo couldn't say it, he looked at the empress's kindness, just like a mother.

But mother is too strange to Tao Zhuo, the stranger dare not think about it, and doesn't know how to speak.

On the contrary, the Empress seemed to have seen through Tao Zhuo's thoughts, her eyes were slightly red and she almost shed tears, "Good boy, don't you miss your mother?"

Mother?Tao Zhuo nodded in a daze, but then shook his head again.

Biting the pastry in her hands with drooping eyes, Tao Zhuo choked with sobs vaguely, "I don't want to, I don't even know what she looks like, what can I think about." hair strands.Turning your head away, secretly wiped the tears from the corners of your eyes.

"Yeah." Tao Zhuo suddenly remembered something, stuffed the remaining cakes into his mouth, Tao Zhuo hurriedly stood up.

"Empress Empress, I have to go, I'm afraid I'll be anxious if Yun Yi can't find me."

"This, this is leaving?" The queen reluctantly held Tao Zhuo's hand, "Then when will you come back to the palace?"

"Ah?" Tao Zhuo was stunned, he never thought about entering the palace again, besides, there was a prince who was eyeing him covetously.

Seeing Tao Zhuo's hesitation, the queen hurriedly said, "Don't worry, with me here, no one in this palace dares to bully you."

After thinking about it, he took off the jade pendant around his waist and handed it to Tao Zhuo, "You take this, you can enter the palace at any time with it. Don't have any burdens,

I am, I just look at your kindness and want to talk to you more. "

Tao Zhuo nodded, and said softly, "Then I will come to see you someday."

Watching Tao Zhuo leave, until his figure disappeared, Empress Empress weakly supported the door, sobbing softly.

The maid beside her was at a loss, so she had to run back to the Jinglan Hall to find Aunt Liu, who served the queen personally.

On the tree-lined path in the imperial garden, the rain dripped down the edge of the umbrella.

Aunt Liu held the umbrella in one hand and supported the queen in the other, and asked worriedly, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

"I saw him." The queen stopped, and couldn't help but clutched Aunt Liu's sleeve tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks, "Jinse, do you still remember my child who was discarded at birth? , I saw him."

Aunt Liu was shocked and said in disbelief, "Mother, this, how is this possible? It's been 21 years, why did you see him suddenly? How did your mother know it was that child? You can see the birthmark on his back shoulder? "

"I didn't see it." The Queen cried and shook her head, "He was terrified at the time, and I was not allowed to touch him. It is said that my nephew looks like an uncle. When he and Brother Rong were young, they were almost carved out of the same mold. It can't be wrong And the mother and child are connected, I like him from the bottom of my heart when I see him, kind, I believe it must be him."

The Queen's excited voice was a little loud, and Aunt Liu hastily covered her lips gently, "Your Majesty, keep your voice down, so what if he is your own flesh and blood? Everyone in the world is being concealed by us, and they all think that the prince is your own." Yes, if you say it now, it is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, not to mention the nine clans, the crown prince and that child are inseparable, you can't be confused for a while, and harm the whole family."

That's right, once the old things are exposed, it's not just me who dies.Although the prince is not his own, he has been raised for 21 years, so how can he give up.Just facing the parents and children but not being able to recognize each other, how can the heart-biting pain be relieved?

The drizzle was lingering, covering the low cries in the imperial garden.

On the second floor of Zuixian Tower, in the small private room by the window, Tao Zhuo gesticulated and told Yun Yi what happened in the palace.Just because he was worried, he weakened the part about the prince, and mainly talked about how kind the empress was to him, and gave him a jade pendant to allow him to enter the palace at any time.

"You're still laughing." Yun Yi pinched Tao Zhuo's fair cheeks, "I can't find you anywhere, I was almost scared to death by you."

Tao Zhuo scratched his head embarrassingly, "I will pay attention to it in the future, and try not to worry you."

"Then marry me, I won't worry if I keep you by my side all the time." Yun Yi raised his eyebrows, "If you don't mind, I can marry you."

Just at this moment, the waiter in the shop brought the food, and Tao Zhuo picked up a piece of sauced meat and stuffed it into Yun Yi's mouth.

Grandma glared at Yun Yi ferociously, "Eat, don't talk anymore."

Yun Yi really didn't say a word, but the smile in the corner of his eyes got deeper and deeper.

The old man carrying the burden downstairs walked by, yelling, sugar and shortbread.

Tao Zhuo pinched his fingers to the window, looking eagerly through the rain curtain.Tangyue Youbing is something that Taozhuo tasted only after he came to Yu Country. The outer skin is soft and full of sugar filling.

As he was sipping his saliva, he saw Yun Yi's figure appearing at the side of the booth selling sugary shortbread, through the bead curtain strung together by the drizzle, he turned around and waved to Tao Zhuo.

With white teeth biting her lip, Tao Zhuo felt a strange affection in her heart.That's probably what it feels like to be held in the palm of someone's hand, and this feeling of happiness cannot be completely ignored.

Coming out of Zuixian Tower, the coachman hiding under the corner hurriedly drove the carriage to them.

Yun Yi helped Tao Zhuo get into the car, and Tao Zhuo sat down firmly, enjoying the rainy scene outside the car window with nothing to do.

Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed across the street corner, and Tao Zhuo shook his hand.It was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his body, and every nerve was throbbing with pain.

How can it be?

Tao Zhuo's face was as pale as paper, he seemed to see that Gu Yan...
