On the golden rosewood dragon chair, Ming Huang's figure had been frozen for a long time, the tea cup that was lightly held in the palm was squeezed tighter and tighter, until there was a "ding", the celadon broke in response, and the fragments pierced into the palm, Blood dripping.

Xue Liang on the side was startled, and wanted to step forward to stop the bleeding, but was stopped by his cold eyes.

Clenching his palm tightly, he let the blood drops drop to the ground, but Zhao Zhen didn't seem to notice it, he just stared deeply at the dark guard below, and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you sure?"

"The humble teacher is the well-known Master Qingyuan in the Jianghu. If he hadn't shown his lord's righteousness this time, he would not have accepted the secret guard task entrusted by His Majesty outside the palace. It was His Majesty who entrusted his teacher to report the important situation in time. Report back, and these words were heard by my mentor at the Khitan embassy in Dutingyi, if I hadn't seen Master Zhan's expression changed at that time, my mentor would not have taken care to write it down."

"I understand, thank Master Qingyuan for me."

The dark guard bowed and saluted, and then left the palace gate.Seeing people leave, Xue Liang immediately expressed his concern. "Your Majesty, I will invite Imperial Physician Dong to come here for you."

Zhao Zhen's eyes were blank, and he shook his head miserably.

Yes.No matter how painful your hand is, can it compare to the pain in your heart?As soon as he agreed that he would not make things difficult for Zhan Zhao, he set up such a complicated trick to put him to death, and even left himself clearly, the cleverness of the method made people shudder.If he hadn't guessed that Zhan Zhao could find the clues, let him out of the palace on purpose, and then appointed an expert to protect him secretly, I'm afraid he would have been kept in the dark by now, and he would have been completely deceived by this "loving mother" when.

Empress, is this how you treat me?Knowing that I cherish that person so much, knowing that I will never step over the threshold, clearly knowing that I have fallen into the dust and begged you to let him go, but you still did not hesitate to do this murderous hand and not leave him any way out.Empress mother, are you planning to erase him from my life just like you killed my biological mother?

No, I won't allow it!

Only Zhan Zhao, I will never let him die.

The broken porcelain in the palm of his hand was thrown to the ground hard.Zhao Zhen suddenly got up and said: "Send a carriage in the palace to take Zhan's guard back to the palace immediately, I want to see him, immediately!"

The Kaifeng mansion was immersed in the joy of Zhan Zhaogui's mansion, and even Aunt Wang, who was in charge of the kitchen, enthusiastically set up a posture to prepare a banquet.By chance, an unremarkable royal carriage in the palace stopped at the gate of the mansion, and brought a long live oral order to Zhan Zhao to return to the palace immediately.The four captains suddenly feel disappointed, although Bao Zheng Gongsun Ce also feels sorry, but seeing that Zhan Zhao seems to have something on his mind, he is not very interested, so he silently sends Zhan Zhao and Xiang Ling out of the house.

Zhan Zhao reluctantly bid farewell to everyone in Kaifeng Mansion, and sat in the carriage.After Xiangling put away her tidy clothes, in order to watch the excitement, she squeezed into the driving seat outside the car and drove all the way to the palace.Unexpectedly, the carriage turned two corners, and the carriage suddenly bumped and stopped.

Zhan Zhao lifted the curtain and asked, "What's the matter, Xiang Ling?"

Xiang Ling complained angrily: "I don't know which one is in a hurry to go to the funeral, and the fast horse almost ran into us. Master Zhan, are you all right?"

"It's okay. Let's continue on our way." After speaking, he sat back in the car in a dispirited manner.

However, Xiang Ling still felt angry, and muttered in her mouth: "If it wasn't for the fact that the boy on the horse is quite handsome, I would have scolded him. If Mr. Zhan was injured a little bit, how could I have the face to live?" Go back to see Your Majesty?" Then he asked the coachman to continue to the palace without stopping.

At the same moment, the people who almost hit Zhan Zhao's carriage stopped at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion after a fast drive.The white-clothed man turned over on the horse and jumped down into the mansion without waiting for the reins to be fastened. A few ups and downs arrived at Zhan Zhao's bedroom, and he rushed in excitedly and yelled "Cat", but The room was found to be empty.Not only that, the decoration of the room also seemed to be bare, and even the objects that Zhan Zhao used to use on weekdays disappeared.

"What's going on? Where's the cat man?"

The person who came was Bai Yutang who fled down the mountain from Dongxiao Temple.Thanks to Liu Ruhui's help, Bai Yutang rushed to Kaifeng without stopping to break through all the traps of Master Qian and Taoist.Shicai galloped on the street for a while, thinking that he would see Zhan Zhao, whom he hadn't seen for many months, immediately, and his heart was burning hot.I didn't think of the cat's bedroom but saw this scene.

Perhaps it was a series of movements that attracted everyone in the Kaifeng Mansion. When Bai Yutang learned that Zhan Zhao had left in a car, especially when he thought that the car that was carrying a cat was what he almost hit, he felt annoyed and wished he could hit the wall.He kept cursing in his heart how he couldn't be a bad equestrian, if he really bumped into it, he would be able to stop the cat.

After Bai Yutang chased out of Kaifeng mansion again, he rushed all the way to the root of the imperial city, and watched the carriage enter the inner imperial city without hindrance, but he could only look at the ocean and sigh, lamenting that good fortune made people fool.

Zhan Zhao returned to Zhuyixuan with a heavy heart, and saw the young emperor standing in the courtyard.With his eyes closed, he raised his head slightly, and slowly turned his head to change his direction with each gust of wind. The helixes moved slightly, as if he was listening to the sound of the bamboo sea churning.

Zhan Zhao wanted to go forward to salute, but the other party held out a hand at the right time to stop him, only to hear Zhao Zhen groaning in a low voice: "Bamboos grow in the wilderness, and the clouds soar a hundred times. No one rewards the noble, but only embraces chastity." Heart." He raised his hand to caress the bamboo in the courtyard, caressing it carefully, it turned into a wry smile. "Zhan Huwei, sometimes I wonder, for a person like you, shouldn't I trap you in the temple? It's my selfishness that keeps you here, but... fate is hard to come by, but I don't Not in awe, not in panic, powerless..."

Zhan Zhao lowered his brows and eyes, as if he understood the meaning behind the words.Suddenly, he raised his head again, his eyes as firm as a rock. "Your Majesty, do you know the meaning of this poem?" Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to answer, he chanted to himself: "I am ashamed to stain the tears of Concubine Xiang, and I am ashamed to enter the palace piano. Whoever can make a flute should be a dragon chant." Bending down to pick it up A bamboo leaf on the ground, placed near the lips, blew out a bright and clear sound.The smile that was accidentally revealed was unexpectedly soft as water and as bright as a mirror, and his eyes were looking straight at him without moving, shaking, or avoiding. "The leaves are endless, and it's hard to find a bosom friend. I don't look down on the world's rich and powerful, and I only want to go forward with my friends."

The pain in the smile instantly turned into relief.

He should have known it earlier, this person is like this, a single word can easily control his emotions, and make his turbulent heart lake be soothed to calm in an instant.He regards him as a close friend with sincere affection, but he doesn't know that he has already changed into an appearance that no one can imagine.

The hand that had already been injured was suddenly clenched into a fist, the wound burst open, and traces of blood seeped out of the gauze, but it was a pity that it was hidden under the long sleeve, so no one felt it.

He has reached the point where he has to use the pain in his palm to suppress the heart that wants to escape from time to time to vent.Is it bitter?So desperately suppressed, I tried my best to endure it, just to prevent him from discovering his abnormality.Say bitter, not bitter.Because compared to his own feelings, he cares more about what his heart thinks at the moment.

So he tentatively asked: "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Looking down again, Zhan Zhao's smile was slightly restrained, but the warmth remained undiminished. "It's late at night, His Majesty should rest."

Yeah?don't you say anything?Now that you know that it is the queen mother who wants to harm you, but you still refuse to confide a word to me.You must have guessed early in the morning that it was the empress mother's actions, so what you said in the Khitan embassy was so obvious.That being the case, why do you still have to defend her?

No, what you want to protect is not the queen mother, but me.You want to maintain the mother-child relationship between me and her so much that you don't even hesitate to put yourself in danger.

Zhan Huwei, what should I do with you?How can I keep you safe?

Can no longer sit still.I will think of a way, and I will definitely think of a way to stop the queen mother.

Three days later, there was an uproar in the court.From the Palace of the Sixth Rank, the imperial censor Li Boren made a proposal, saying that the current Empress Dowager Liu E is not the emperor's biological mother, but the birth mother is Li Shi, a court lady in the Jinhua Palace. , Kill the emperor's birth mother dove.He even showed Wan Nai'an, the former Minister of the Ministry of War who had been questioned and beheaded, in his deadly pen to prove his words. In court, he angrily reprimanded Liu E for being cruel and ruthless, and asked the emperor to withdraw his title of queen mother.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were all in an uproar.I thought that if the emperor was not shocked and thoroughly investigated the matter, he was furious and ordered to kill Li Boren who slandered the queen mother.Unexpectedly, the emperor was angry when he was angry, and he cursed Li Boren, but in the end he was just sent to a local county magistrate, and there was nothing left.Not to investigate, not to investigate, not to demote, not to ask, this behavior is too weird, it really makes people unable to understand what the emperor thinks, so there are speculations and speculations in the court and the public, and there are different opinions.

As soon as he retired from court, Zhao Zhen welcomed the expectedly furious Empress Dowager Liu E.

The queen mother asked: "What is the emperor's intention? Why don't you kill Li Boren, who speaks so much, and beg for justice?"

Zhao Zhen helped the Empress Dowager to sit down, then apologized and said with a smile: "Li Boren just mistrusted the slanderous slander and believed Wan Naian's rebellious words as truth. Since it was a misunderstanding, why should the empress be angry?"

"Why should you be angry with such a light sentence? Then Li Boren was only a sixth-rank child, but he dared to blaspheme the heavens and slander the Tian family in the Wende Palace. Killing him alone was simply cheap for him. The Ai family thought this was strange, and there must be something behind it." Secretly pushing, trying to provoke my mother and child's relationship, if I don't investigate thoroughly, the Ai family will have trouble sleeping and eating."

"The queen mother really wants to investigate thoroughly?"

The queen mother who was furious didn't notice the coldness in Zhao Zhen's eyes at all.She just felt depressed and unbearable, and her heart was burning with anger. "Why not investigate? Letting such a cancer stay in the court will inevitably cause turmoil and disintegration of the court."

Zhao Zhen straightened his back, and his voice suddenly became faint. "Alright, since the queen mother has asked, why don't we investigate thoroughly. It's just that it's hard to stop everyone in the world by just checking Li Boren, so why not start the investigation from the palace. As long as you can prove that the queen mother is my real mother, let the rumors spread everywhere. Self-defeating."

"You..." The queen mother noticed the alienated indifference in the emperor's face, and suddenly her heart trembled, as if she understood something, she showed an unbelievable expression. "Emperor, you actually believed Li Boren?" As if thinking of a more terrifying possibility, the Empress Dowager's eyes widened and her lips trembled to the extreme. "No, you don't believe him, but what Li Boren did today was arranged by you from the beginning to the end, right?"

The emperor's expression did not waver in the slightest, and he continued to say calmly: "I don't understand what the queen mother said."

"No, you all understand that after 20 years of mother-child relationship, you actually designed Aijia like this?"

"What did the Empress Dowager say? I have never believed any rumors about the maids of the Li family. You are my biological mother. You have sacrificed so much for me, and my son will remember it in my heart. I dare not forget it for a moment. I don't want to Regardless of those inexplicable rumors outside, in my heart, you are my mother."

Zhao Zhen's deep confession made the Queen Mother confused again.She couldn't see clearly the son in front of her. Regarding the rumors, did he believe it or not?

"Mothers in the world are generally great, and they will never do things that hurt their sons. The same is true for ordinary people, and the same is true for the Tian family. Queen Mother, you are the most honorable woman in the world, and you are also the most honorable mother in the world. Because you are a mother, So what you promised the emperor will definitely be fulfilled, right? You will never have the heart to hurt the love in the heart of the emperor, and make me miserable for the rest of my life, right?"

Looking at Zhao Zhen's gradually moist eyes, the faint tears reflected the strange luster of the candlelight.Empress Dowager Liu E couldn't hold back her tears.She tentatively asked: "If the Ai family can't do what they say, what should the emperor do?"

Tears stopped.The face lost its last expression and was as stiff as iron.Even the voice is cold, without any trace of warmth. "If you can't do it, it proves that the queen mother doesn't have a child emperor in her heart. It's hard for me to take on the most honorable status in the world."

Every word punishes love, every sentence cuts heart.

Got it, she got it—it turned out it was because of that person.

For him, her good emperor did not hesitate to use the biggest secret in her life as a bargaining chip to ask her to let him go; for him, she used her status as queen mother to threaten her; Even his own life is not hesitant to make it public, so that people can judge others.

Well, her royal son has grown up.What a powerful method, what a powerful technique of checks and balances.It's just that when she thinks that she has worked so hard for 20 years and failed to teach him the true emperor's way, but let a little guard inadvertently teach him, she feels how sad this life is.

Huang'er, do you love him that much?Love so much that you don't even want to be with my mother and child?For the first half of his life, the Ai family was desperate for the late emperor, and managed to enjoy his old age comfortably, but in the second half of his life, he had to bear the pain of mother and son's rebellion?

Prince, you are really a good prince who mourns the family.You must know what Aijia did, set up a scheme to take that person's life, and you also know that you can't stop Aijia, so the agency is trying to use Aijia's nostalgic power to exchange that person's life, right?But Huanger, do you really understand Aijia?Could it be that in your eyes, this so-called empress dowager position surpasses Aijia's affection for you?

You are so stupid, so stupid.

No, the most stupid is Aijia.Knowing that you will hate me for the rest of your life, but as a mother, I can't just watch you go astray.You are my son. From the day you were born, you have been my only son, Liu E.

The author has something to say: the first update in August.

Because I split one chapter into two chapters, I can probably update it four times this month.

In addition, recently I suddenly wondered whether I should sign a contract with jj, so that I can at least force myself to keep weekly updates, which seems good.I don't know what everyone thinks.
