What about Mr. Faint?

The news came from outside the palace, and the queen mother never let go.Rather than hugging Gu, it would be better to say she is holding Gu, like a drowning man holding on to a life-saving straw, grasping at the last life, unwilling to let go.It's just that she doesn't talk to Gu, and she doesn't even eat like before.

Elder Sister was busy recruiting the maids and eunuchs in the courtyard, she was inconvenient, but she also recruited all the people in the courtyard in just a few days.The queen mother saw all this in her eyes, and watched her familiarly take away the gold, silver and jewelry that she had dismissed in the past from her private treasury, but she still looked indifferent, sitting alone in the hall with her arms around her, He stared blankly at the west side, wondering what he was thinking.

The queen mother didn't want Gu to read to her anymore, she just hugged Gu and slept with her, even Chu Gong didn't want to lose her sight.From birth to now, for the first time, everything about Gu has to be handled by the Queen Mother. She bathes Gu, dresses Gu, and feeds Gu, as if Gu was just a newborn child.

Occasionally, he will be called Gu's nickname, no longer called Gu Prince, nor Gu Xiaoqi.

In my memory, someone once called Gu's name like this, softly and gracefully, with a faint smile, calling Gu's name.

It's just that no matter how good Sister's methods are, she can't stop the scattered hearts in the yard. The food changes from warm to cold, the room changes from spotless to visible dust, the gold and silver jewelry in the jewelry box gradually disappears, and the sunlight projected into the room through the paper window Beamed into a beam, flying dust visible to the naked eye dances under the beam.

"Mother's queen?" Her face was covered with water stains, probably because she was hugged in her lonely sleep.When I looked up, I could see the uninterrupted tears on the mother's face without makeup: "Why is the mother crying?"

It wasn't the crying in the room that day, it wasn't the sobbing with sister holding her head that day, it wasn't the acting like a baby with father.The queen mother knelt on the bed and hugged Gu, with a smile on her face, but tears fell drop by drop on Gu's face.Hearing Gu's question, the queen mother lowered her head and kissed Gu's forehead.

"I'm not afraid..." The queen mother's voice was very soft, "I'm not afraid..."

"Mother?" Why should Gu be afraid?

"Xiaoqi is cute mother queen?" As if coaxing a child, mother mother changed her position and hugged Gu in her arms, stroking Gu's back again and again.It was an act of coaxing a child. Gu had seen Xiao Ba's mother coaxing the baby Xiao Ba like this before, and also seen the second brother coaxing the crying Xiao Jiu like this.

It was the first time someone coaxed Gu like this: "You are Gu's mother, so of course Gu wants to love you?"

"Is that all?" The queen mother shook her body lightly, shaking rhythmically, making Gu a little sleepy.

"If you don't like your own mother, do you want to like someone else's mother?" The queen mother asked this question very strangely, "Shouldn't all children love their mother?" Why do you question Gu?

The queen mother opened her mouth and laughed, the little dimples on both sides of her cheeks were very cute: "The emperor is right, you really look like him." Saying this, the queen mother began to cry again, "Why do you want to be like him? , why don't you look like your father, where did you come from, why don't you look like your father!"

The queen mother calls the orphan... what?

But before she could get angry, the queen mother changed her face again, she pulled Gu into her arms, from questioning to regret: "Why did you have to be born as the emperor's son of this palace, why did you want to be reborn in my belly, why It's only our mothers who suffer so much, my God, where are your eyes—"

"Mother?"

There was a knock on the door outside the room, but the queen mother didn't speak, but someone walked in.Holding the dinner plate, he walked in with the wind outside the room.

"Sister!" Seeing the person and the plate, Gu felt a little hungry.Grabbing the queen mother's cold fingers, she was dragged into the room by the queen mother early this morning. Gu hadn't eaten for a whole day. Although he didn't exert much energy today, Gu was indeed hungry: "Queen mother, let's eat, sister put... ..."

"Wow--" Before Gu could finish speaking, Ajie knocked over the dinner plate.When Gu turned his gaze to Elder Sister, he didn't miss the smile across the Empress Mother's face, but that smile was like weeping blood.And Elder Sister, like an ordinary court lady who has done something wrong, took a small step back, and then knelt in the sunlight.

Elder Sister's sleeves drew a circle in the sun, rolling up the dust that had been falling leisurely, following her movements like a disturbed pool of water.

Get up, knock again.

Get up and knock again.

The queen mother didn't speak, and neither did the elder sister. They seemed to be playing a riddle that they couldn't understand alone.It's just that the mother's arm holding Gu was tightened, and Gu's breathing was a little difficult: "Mother, it's uncomfortable..."

"Sixteen years ago, the miss rescued the slave from her mother, taught the slave to read and write, and taught the slave to read and write poems and qin music. For so many years, the miss does not dislike the humble birth of the slave, and never abandons the humble slave." The voice of the elder sister was choked, "Slaves are fortunate to see the emperor's honor in this life, and to serve the empress—"

The cold liquid dripped on Gu's forehead, looking up, the mother's eyes were closed, and she seemed to be asleep.

"I don't want to be rich and honored in my next life, I just hope to see my mother again, and be a servant or a slave, a pig or a dog."

"Mother?"

Sister got up, smiled and retreated like all the past days, closed the door in the room, and blocked her eyes from the door.Only the residue of that place remained, proving that she had been here.

"Prince..." The queen mother hugged Gu, and rested her chin on the top of Gu's head, "From now on, only love the queen mother, okay?"

Do not understand.

"In this world, only the queen mother loves you like this, so you only love the queen mother, okay?"

"But, Gu also likes the father very much, doesn't he?"

"Even if he kills your companion?"

……

"Look," the queen mother laughed softly, "you are just a powerless crown prince, it doesn't matter if one person is under one man and over ten thousand people, if you don't have military power in your hands, you can't stand him." Gu Xiang looked up Queen Mother, but Gu can't see the expression of Queen Mother now, because Queen Mother is pressing Gu's head.

"Now, what do you want to do? What can you do?" The queen mother laughed, shaking against Gu's chest, "You are just a powerless prince, how can you shake me?" What about an emperor with military power? You can only be crushed by him, abandoned by him, and forgotten by him."

"Learn to hate, prince." The queen mother laughed, "Learn to hate, learn to be indifferent, learn how to eradicate your enemies, learn how to kill those who do not obey you." The mother's laughter grew louder, "Learn to be indifferent Poison those villains with the hands of others, and learn to wash yourself with the hands of servants."

Gu couldn't understand, but he could feel that something had been stripped from his mother's body.

"Where are so many people in this world who are dedicated to the country, and where are so many people in this world who are dedicated to the country and the people? What is important in this world is that people do not kill themselves." The queen mother's voice was smiling, but the cold liquid Drop by drop, it landed on the top of Gu's head, "In this world, you are the only one who will be good to you."

It was quiet outside the house, there were no whispers from the palace maids and eunuchs in the past, and no elder sister's reprimand.

"If you don't like it, get rid of him. If you don't like it, kill him. If you say no to you, give it to those who obey you. If you obey you, if you like it, listen to it. If you don't like it, listen to it. Let go of joy. There is only military power, and only military power cannot be let go, it must be firmly held in your hands."

The queen mother hugged the orphan, crying blood like a cuckoo.

"Don't believe anyone, don't tell anyone. No one in this world will keep your secrets for you, and no one can help you solve things. Those who flatter you are for your status and for their future. There are many benefits. Those who resist, just turn around, and others will say nothing about the flattery of the rich and powerful."

It was the beginning of autumn, and there was no carbon fire in the palace, which only made people feel cold all over.

"If one day you lose your identity, your status, your looks, your strength of character, and someone loves you, loves you, respects you, then kill him." There was a smile in the empress mother's voice. He said, "If someone is willing to bow his head and become a minister, if someone is willing to give up the power in his hand, let him be used."

"In this world, there will be no one who loves you as much as I do." The queen mother hugged Gu, covering Gu's eyes with cold hands, and sticking cold fingers on Gu's eyes, blocking the view from the window, " You are the flesh that fell from the mother's body, the only concern of the mother in this world, and the mother will not harm you."

"If it's cold, add an extra quilt. If it's hot, take off your clothes. If you feel wronged, shut your mouth. If you want to cry, bite your own arm. You are the proof that your mother is alive in this world. Yours My mother's blood is on my body, you are alive to prove that I am still alive, and my mother will always watch you if you are alive."

"If you miss your mother, look in the mirror. If you want a hug, hug yourself." The queen mother shook her body gently, and completely wrapped Gu in her arms.

A sister's sharp voice came from outside the window, but it couldn't match the sound in the ear when the queen mother opened Gu's lips.Sweet potato

"Son, don't make the same mistakes as your mother..."

"Mother and elder sister, leave first. Your grandfather, uncles, and your little friends are all watching from below. The road is cold and lonely. Find some people to accompany mother and elder sister to accompany us How are you?" The queen mother's voice gradually moved away from Gu Gu, replaced by the coldness and pain rushing up from the soles of her feet.It's just that it is a warmer body, not as cold as the mother's queen, nor as soft as the father's emperor.

In the cold, a warm fire source approached Gu, supporting Gu's body, wrapping Gu tightly.

"The antidote!" In a trance, a man's voice came to his ears.That voice is not as soft as the mother's queen, not as floating as the father's emperor, but it is like the winter sun that makes people want to approach, rely on, and hide behind him involuntarily.

"My palace, I want to see the emperor!"
