Remembrance Hibiscus GL

Shen Wen's cherry blossom face was bleak, kneeling on the ground, looking at Lianzhen with begging eyes, Lianzhen was taken aback at the beginning, but in the past few years with Binglun, he has experienced many things, and has been in charge of the harem. After all, she was calmer than before, startled for a moment, and said: "Wen Ying, what are you talking about? Save Zhao'er's life? What does this mean?" He stretched out his hands to pull her: "You get up first."

However, Shen Wenying remained motionless, grabbed her sleeves, and said in a mournful voice: "Lian Zhen, the lord is dead, we orphans and widows have no one to rely on, I have no choice but to beg you today, no matter what I do It doesn't matter, I just ask you to save my son."

"Wen Ying, I'm confused, why don't you get up first, and explain the matter to me clearly." Lian Zhen frowned, and her voice was extremely gentle: "We are sisters, so you don't want to ask each other like this. What can I do for you, won't I try my best?"

Hearing what she said, Shen Wenying got up just now, and sat down timidly again. During Lianzhen's contemplation, she vaguely had a bad premonition: "Wen Ying, the empress dowager and the emperor are deeply concerned about the matter of the prince. It's a pity that many edicts have been issued to praise and reward, and to give favors and pensions. Now that Zhao'er has inherited the king's title, why is his life in danger? I don't understand."

Shen Wenying's eyes were flushed, and she couldn't help turning her head to look at the hanging curtain. Lian really knew what she meant, and said, "You don't have to worry, it's safe for me to talk here."

Shen Wenying still looked tense and cautious, with her hands on her knees, twisting her handkerchief, before she opened her mouth, tears were already falling, Lian Zhen looked at her thin and thin shoulders, couldn't bear it in every possible way, and sighed softly: "Wen Ying, How have you been doing in Shuzhou all these years?"

When Shen Wenying heard the word Shuzhou, a look of grief and indignation appeared on her face, and she said in a low voice: "Lianzhen, I have never been to Shuzhou."

Lian Zhen was shocked and asked, "What?"

"I have never set foot on the land of Shuzhou. In the past few years, I have not been close to you, but I can't meet you."

Lian Zhen lost her voice and said: "This...how can this happen? You obviously followed the prince..."

Shen Wenying wiped away her tears, as if she was going all out: "Lian Zhen, do you think the Queen Mother can really feel relieved when the prince leaves Shuzhou? Will she really let the prince take Zhao'er and me there?"

Lianzhen was stunned for a long time, then exhaled lightly, and said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother asked the King of England to go out of Shuzhou just so that someone could restrain her father. If the people are killed, they will be out of control, so they take you and Zhao'er as hostages. The prince is a person who values ​​affection and family, so she naturally knows the weight of you and Zhao'er in his heart. However, all this must be done in secret, and it cannot be let The general knows. Is this what you want to say?"

Shen Wenying said: "That's right."

A hint of sadness welled up in Lian Zhen's heart. This really seemed to be what Binglun did. As the Empress Dowager who is currently in charge of the court, she is at the center of conspiracy and power struggle. It is not surprising at all, even understandable to do such a thing.However, she once vowed to her that she would never hide anything from her again, ah, every time she handed over Wen Ying's letter and Shuzhou's special products to her, every time she gave her reference for what gift to send back When she went to Shuzhou, how did she manage to look calm, speak and smile freely?They were the two closest people in the world, weren't they?

Seeing her bowing her head in silence, Shen Wenying couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, and called out in a low voice, "Lian Zhen."

Lianzhen made up her mind and said: "Even so, the prince always sacrificed for the country and made great contributions. The queen mother will treat Zhao'er kindly."

Shen Wenying looked at Lianzhen, and said sadly: "Do you really think that the prince died under the arrow of the Huo family rebel?"

Lian Zhen's head jumped suddenly: "You mean..."

"When the prince led his troops into the city gate, he was plotted against from behind." Shen Wenying was in so much pain when she said this, she paused for a moment, and then choked up and said: "Since he went to Shuzhou, someone has been by his side all the time." I watched him from the sidelines and reported his every move, and now that I have no use value, I took the opportunity to kill him."

The room was originally extremely warm, but Lian Zhen suddenly felt a chill down her back, she just didn't want to believe it, and she didn't want to think about it, she struggled and said: "You were not by the prince's side from the beginning to the end, how did you know so clearly, Is it like seeing it with your own eyes?"

Shen Wenying said: "After the death of the prince, the queen mother ordered people to go outside the city to welcome our mother and son back. After returning to the mansion, Zhao'er and I stayed in front of the prince's spirit day and night. One night, two people came to look for me quietly. I recognized them. They, Yin Fu and Duan Muliang, are very close friends of the prince, and they went to Shuzhou with the prince that day. They told me this, and said...the queen mother is cruel and merciless, worried about me and the photo I have to be very careful about the safety of my son. They are deeply favored by the prince, and they will definitely protect our mother and son with all their might. They must find a way to find a chance to take us out, and live a normal life in anonymity from now on. However, that conversation After that, I never saw them again, and I was worried  …”

Lian Zhen went on for her: "You are worried that they are already dead."

"Yes."

"Wen Ying, you think too badly about things."

Shen Wenying looked at her: "Lianzhen, I believe in my own feelings, do you believe me?"

"I don't mean about the two of them." Lian was really upset and tried to maintain her composure: "I mean, I believe everything you said is true, but the emperor is young, and the prince, as an older uncle, , holding a heavy army, the queen mother is afraid of him, so it is naturally possible to get rid of him after he succeeds, but Zhao'er is only so young, he can't pose any threat to the queen mother or the emperor, what reason does the queen mother want to kill him?"

"Zhao'er will grow up one day, and he will know the truth about his father's death, right?" Shen Wenying said: "The queen mother can do such a thing, as long as she challenges her power a little bit, or She threatened the emperor's throne. Isn't her father a living example? Although Huo Song and Huo Ze's children deserved their crimes, why are they guilty? Five or six children, even infants, are all given to death. But her nephew and niece!"

Lian Zhen trembled her lips: "You...are what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true. This is something that the whole capital knows. You are in the deep palace, so you naturally don't know."

Lian Zhen was slightly dizzy, and stretched out her hand to support Huali Xiaoji in front of her. After a while, she said slowly: "You know the Queen Mother's temperament well, and why do you come to me? If she is as cruel and merciless as you said, then I will help you too." Without you, I'm just a concubine in the palace, I can't ask about these things."

"But the Empress Dowager treats you differently. What happened to the late emperor's empress and concubine Li? You favored the harem back then. After the late emperor passed away, I broke into a cold sweat for you, but you not only managed to save your life, but also gained Concubine Feng, also received such a noble title as 'Chen', and was ordered to take charge of the harem. Lian Zhen, we haven't seen each other in the past few years, but I know that you, the queen mother, and the emperor are very close .”

Lian Zhen said: "The empress dowager and the emperor are very close to the concubines, not only me, but also to Yun'er and to concubine Qing."

Shen Wenying was stunned for a moment, realizing that she was a little anxious just now, and gradually slowed down her tone: "Of course, I also know that it may not be useful to find you, but looking around, who else can our mother and son go to? Seeing a doctor, I can only come to you to try." With a miserable smile, he continued: "To be honest, we entered the palace together that year, and only you two stayed. I always thought that I was the luckiest one in my heart." One, the prince and I fell in love at first sight, and we fell in love with each other. From the day I married into the palace, I decided to be with him for life and death. I just didn't expect that if I was too happy, I would be envied by heaven. First, because of Concubine Zhaohui’s affairs, the prince was convicted of the late emperor’s crimes and was imprisoned. Then the late emperor died and his title was restored, but he was sent to Shuzhou by the queen mother. For more than 1000 days and nights, I have not been worried for a moment Concerned about him, not a moment is not endured the torment and suffering of lovesickness, I waited, hoped, day after day, year after year, but did not expect to wait for the bad news, he is still so young, he is still so young. Didn't have time to see me again, he...he doesn't even know what his son looks like, oh my god! What did we do wrong? God is so unfair!"

Seeing her weeping like rain, Lianzhen couldn't help but shed tears when she thought of her experiences over the years. Putting her thoughts aside for now, she got up and walked to her, holding her hand: "I'm sorry, Wen Ying, this time Everything was too unexpected, I didn't expect you...you actually lived such a life."

Shen Wenying raised her tearful eyes: "Lianzhen, we are about the same age, look at you, you are still so young and beautiful, and your look is better than before, but for me, I look forward to zero, and even have Gray hair. I...I really wish I could fulfill my oath to the prince and go with him, but I can't leave my photo behind. He is the only flesh and blood of the prince, the only one I have left in this world. He is still so young, how can I bear to abandon him? But how can I have the strength to protect him? Lian Zhen, I'm sorry, I thought that if I came to you, maybe not only I would not be able to help me, but I would also bring you Come to trouble, but I still have to come to you, please forgive my selfishness as a mother, I have nowhere to go, I have no choice."

Lian Zhen's eyes swept over her head, and she saw a few silver hairs mixed with the black hair on her head. Her hands trembled slightly, as if she was going to reach out to caress, but she retracted halfway, and wrapped her arms around her shoulders: " Wen Ying, you have suffered, don't worry, Zhao'er will grow up safely, I assure you."

There were tears in her eyes, but her tone was so resolute and affirmative that she could not tolerate any doubts. Shen Wenying had been grieving for her husband and worrying about her son for days. Busy grab it.

"Lianzhen, thank you."

Lian Zhen didn't dare to look at her, and said in a low voice, "Wen Ying, you...do you hate the Queen Mother?"

Shen Wenying nodded, but shook her head again: "Hate, but I don't dare to hate, as long as I am safe and sound, I am satisfied."

Lian Zhen didn't know what it was like, and suddenly remembered something, and asked: "By the way, you said that I was very close to me, and you said that the Queen Mother sent people to welcome you back from outside the city. Could it be that you have been in the capital for five years?" within?"

"Yes, it's not far from the center of Beijing, nor is it very close. We are on a mountain. There is a nunnery on the top of the mountain, Ciyun Temple. The abbot inside is called Master Huixian. She lives with her younger sisters and apprentices. There, Zhao'er and I have been living with them."

"You have been hidden in the nunnery right under our noses." Lian Zhen felt incredible, but she had to admit that it was indeed more difficult for people to find out, and asked: "Are they really monks? Is there anything difficult for you?"

"They are real monks, and they are really responsible for monitoring me. It is deserted and almost isolated from the world, but Zhao'er and I are basically not allowed to step out of the threshold." Shen Wenying smiled wryly, and said: "But I don't blame them, they are just following orders, and they are all good people, especially Mrs. Huixian, who takes good care of me and Zhao'er. I am very grateful to her."

Lian Zhen said: "Strange, since they are real monks, how can they do this kind of thing for others? How can the Queen Mother trust them so much?"

"I don't know about this, but a few months ago, Master Huixian left Ciyun Nunnery for some reason, and then handed it over to her younger sister, Master Huiyi. I heard her apprentice talk privately, saying yes I went to the newly built Huangci Nunnery." Seeing her deep in thought, Shen Wenying added: "After I come back, I still want to go to find her, but I heard people say that Huangci Nunnery is also in the southwestern suburbs, and there is actually Huangci Nunnery there. Zhuang area."

Gao Xian opened the curtains himself, and Zong Xu walked into the Nuan Pavilion with a smile all over his face, saluting like a ceremonial: "My son, my mother, pay your respects."

Binglun let out a "hmm", put aside the new book recently presented by the Imperial Academy, and said, "The emperor is here."

Zong Xu turned around, took a brocade box from Wei Lun, and handed it up with both hands: "Mother, this is my son's recent homework, please have a look at it."

Gao Xian quickly took it and opened it, took out a stack of thick Chengxintang paper, put it on the table, turned the ice wheel over, nodded and said: "It's much better than before, just sit down."

"Thank you mother."

Zong Xu sat down first, took a sip of the hot milk tea, and Binglun said: "I've been busy these days, so I didn't have time to ask about your homework. It's the queen mother's fault."

"The queen mother is vigilant day and night, diligent in political affairs, and her sons and ministers are rare, so she can't share her worries. I am ashamed. I should be more self-disciplined and not let my mother worry about homework."

Binglun smiled and said: "I am very pleased that the emperor can think so." Frowning slightly, he said again: "I said a long time ago that you don't have to greet me every day. The weather is very cold these days, why do you come here often? , what if it gets cold."

Zong Xu hurriedly said: "My mother is busy with state affairs all day long, and my son and minister always think about it, and worry about the body of the phoenix, and often feel uneasy. I really hope that I can always serve my mother's side and show some filial piety."

Binglun glanced at him, and said: "Filial and unfilial are not the same. I still say the same thing. If you live with the Taifu, read the books of sages and sages, and study hard to govern the country, you are filial to me."

Zong Xu felt uncomfortable under her gaze, bowed his head and said, "Yes." He reluctantly said a few more words to accompany him, but felt it was boring, so he got up and left.

Binglun said: "Gao Xian, it's good to send the emperor out."

"Yes."

Gao Xiangong stood at the bottom of the steps, watched Zong Xu get into the warm sedan chair, and when the crowd surrounded the bright yellow sedan chair and went away, Wang Youxing approached Gao Xian and whispered in his ear: "Master, Master Chen has sent someone away." Come here, I would like to invite the Empress Dowager to have dinner tonight."

Gao Xian didn't look at him, he brushed off a piece of snowflakes on his clothes with his hand, and said in a low voice: "Understood."

Returning to the Nuan Pavilion, seeing Binglun leaning on the big pillow, his eyes were only dazed at the stack of papers on the kang table, it was the emperor's homework, and he just forgot to take it away.Gao Xian stepped forward and relayed Wang Youxing's words, Binglun seemed to come back to his senses, and after a while, he said softly: "Let Wang Youxing go back to her personally. I have something to do today, so I can't pass it. After a few days, I will Go find her again."

"Yes."

But she said again: "Also, I want the dining room to carefully prepare the dinner. I want to invite Huo Lin to have dinner together. You will go to Prince Xiang's mansion to pass on my orders later."

"The slave obeys."

Gao Xian waited quietly, seeing that she had nothing else to say, Fang bowed and left.
