Xiao Yike sent Su Lu Dye back to Fenyang before returning to the capital, when he returned to the capital, it was close to the end of November, and the capital was full of snow.

After traveling for so many days day and night, he was very tired, but he was not in a hurry to go back to his house to rest, but went directly to the palace as soon as he arrived in Yudu.

After staying in the Qianyuan Hall for half an hour, Xiao Yike came out, and when he came out, his face was more dignified than when he entered.

Standing in front of the door of the Qianyuan Palace, watching the heavy snow in front of him, he pondered for a long time before he left the Qianyuan Hall and walked towards the harem.

The hall was deserted even more deserted than it had been when he left.

As soon as I entered the main door of Choshin Hall, I felt the warmth of summer in the hall, which contrasted sharply with the cold outside.

When he came in, a slightly older palace man came out of the inner hall in the hall, it was the housekeeper aunt of the Changxin Palace, Aunt Lin.

When Aunt Lin saw him, she was extremely surprised and couldn't hide her joy, so she immediately hurried over and bowed to Xiao Yike.

"See Your Highness!"

Xiao Yike stretched out his hand to help.

Aunt Lin smiled happily and said, "Your Highness is back, Niangniang is thinking about you every day, if you see it, you will be happy!"

When Xiao Yike heard this, he didn't have any joy, but asked calmly, "Where is the concubine?"

Aunt Lin's smile disappeared suddenly, her face became solemn, and she sighed a little helplessly: "Niangniang is in the Buddha Hall in the side hall, it's been two hours!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yike frowned, and he was in the Buddha hall again......

He has always known that his mother has never believed in Buddhism, but in the past ten years, he has spent three hours every day in the Buddhist hall, as long as he is not sick and can't stay, no matter when, he has always insisted on it, and this persistence only stems from such a concern.

The side hall of the Changxin Hall is a Buddhist hall, and before I entered it, I just got closer, and I smelled the smell of incense wafting from it, and there was a rhythmic sound of knocking on the wooden fish.

Xiao Yike stood at the door of the side hall, looking at the Buddha statue inside, and the plain-clothed woman who was sitting there knocking on the wooden fish paused.

The woman was dressed in plain palace clothes, with a simple long hair tied up on her head, and she faintly only saw a hosta pinned to her hair, simple and elegant, but it still failed to hide the dignified and noble aura exuded by her body.

Yes, this is his biological mother, Han Jingshu, the imperial concubine of Liguo, who is now second only to the queen.

Looking at the imperial concubine with twisted eyebrows, Xiao Yike's eyes were full of distress and helplessness, staring for a moment, he walked in, and slowly walked behind the imperial concubine to stand.

He was about to speak, when the sound of the wooden fish suddenly stopped, and the imperial concubine raised her hand to cover her mouth and coughed a few times: "Ahem......"

Xiao Yike immediately stepped forward, put his hand on the shoulders of the imperial concubine, and hurriedly shouted: "Mother!"

The imperial concubine didn't expect someone behind her, and when she saw Xiao Yike, she was stunned for a moment, and then her face was happy: "Ke'er, are you back......?"

Xiao Yike's brows tightened, and he looked at the imperial concubine and said helplessly: "Mother, didn't your son say, your body has been getting worse and worse in the past few years, it's cold in winter, don't sit in the Buddha hall for so long, why don't you remember it?"

Three hours a day, half a day, she is used to it, but as a son, Xiao Yike is distressed.

The imperial concubine smiled, she still had a good face without powder, she smiled very gently, and said softly: "The mother concubine is fine, anyway, she is idle all day, besides, I have long been used to it, I can't go out like this, I sit anywhere, it's better to be here!"

Looking at her legs, the imperial concubine's eyes were full of gloom.

At first glance, her legs were the same, but at the moment she was sitting in a wheelchair with wheels, and she was sitting on it with a thick fox fur blanket on her legs.

Her legs are gone.

Hearing this, Xiao Yike sighed: "Erchen can't say you!"

Over the years, he has persuaded countless times, but the concubine has never listened to him once.

The imperial concubine smiled and asked Xiao Yike to push her out.

Outside, Aunt Lin had already prepared tea and snacks, Xiao Yike pushed the imperial concubine out, and personally poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, the imperial concubine took it and took a sip, then looked at Xiao Yike and asked, "When will you return to Xudu?"

Xiao Yike sat aside, swallowed the hot tea in his mouth, and said slowly: "I just arrived!"

The imperial concubine nodded, and then asked: "I heard that you also went to the Chu State, and I thought you would come back with them, why did you run back by yourself? Moreover, didn't you go to the Western Regions? Why did you suddenly go to the Chu State?"

Although she has never been out of the Changxin Palace, and she doesn't bother to pay attention to the outside affairs, she still knows Xiao Yike's whereabouts, Xiao Yike will write to her soon, and people will tell her one by one where they are, just so that she doesn't worry.

A few months ago, Xiao Yike went to the Western Regions alone after she was in good health, and she went for a few months, but at the beginning of the month, she suddenly returned to the Central Plains, but went directly to Chu and did not come back here.

Although the diplomatic relationship with the State of Chu is important, Xiao Yike has always cared about the affairs of the court, because he is incompatible with Xiao Yihuai, and it is impossible to wipe Xiao Yihuai's ass to deal with these things, so she was a little surprised that he suddenly went to the State of Chu.

Xiao Yike was silent, looking at the imperial concubine's puzzled face, his words choked in his throat, and he didn't know how to tell her.

He didn't speak, and his expression was so strange, the imperial concubine was even more puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mother!" he lowered his eyes for a moment, then spoke in a low voice, his voice was a little hoarse, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the imperial concubine, her face was complicated and difficult to distinguish, and said in a dumb voice: "I found a worry-free ......"

The imperial concubine looked stunned, and couldn't react for a while, before she looked at Xiao Yike with a sneer, and asked in a trembling voice: "...... You...... What do you say?"

Did she just hear it wrong? Or was she obsessed with it and had auditory hallucinations......

Xiao Yike pursed his lips slightly, looked at the imperial concubine and continued: "She is in the Chu State, and the retainer has confirmed it, there is no doubt that she is her!"

The imperial concubine looked incredulous and shocked, the teacup in her hand fell off directly, the tea soaked out of the blanket that soaked her legs, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered with a bang.

But she was completely ignorant, and just sat there with a look of disbelief, joy, and astonishment......

"Mother!" Xiao Yike's face changed, and he quickly stood up, walked in front of the imperial concubine, and took away the blanket on her lap, which stopped the hot tea from soaking her clothes in time......

Looking at the imperial concubine's lost soul, Xiao Yike felt a mixed bottle in his heart, thinking about how much better he was than her when he first knew, he had always regarded his sister as more important than anything else, so these searches never stopped, but who understands the pain of the concubine?

He remembered, after the birth of the mother, the mother has always loved her, when the queen mother was dying, entrusted her daughter to her, she promised that she would grow up with the carefree as her own daughter, and she did it, but in the end, the day did not fulfill people's wishes, and the life and death of the mother were unknown, and she still broke her promise......

She worships the Buddha every day, never asking for her own good, but praying for worry-free and praying for her safety and smoothness.

Aunt Lin, who was waiting outside the door, heard the sound and came in, looking at the imperial concubine with a lost and depressed look, and then at the blanket in Xiao Yike's hand and the fragments on the ground, her face was shocked: "What's wrong with Niangniang......

She hurriedly walked to the imperial concubine and took out a handkerchief to wipe the little water stains on her dress, but the imperial concubine raised her hand to stop her.

The imperial concubine spoke slowly, a little depressed: "Lin Qing, you go out, this palace has something to say to Ke'er!"

When Aunt Lin heard this, she was a little puzzled, but the imperial concubine didn't say more, she had to turn her head to look at Xiao Yike, Xiao Yike bowed slightly, she glanced at the imperial concubine with no peace of mind, and bowed out.

After Aunt Lin went out, the imperial concubine looked at Xiao Yike, her face was excited, she couldn't believe it, and she wrung her eyebrows and asked, "Ke'er, you just ...... Not lying to me?"

Xiao Yike nodded: "It's true, Erchen really found her!"

When the imperial concubine heard this, she was overjoyed, her trembling hands tightly grasped the dress on her legs, the smile on her face could not be hidden, but her eyes were full of waves, and she was stunned for a long time.

After a while, she calmed down and hurriedly asked, "Since you have found her, what about her? Did you bring her back?"

Xiao Yike was silent and said, "No, she is still in Chu State!"

The imperial concubine was anxious: "You are ......"

"She doesn't want to come back!" If she is willing, no matter what the consequences are, Xiao Yike will not be able to let her be exiled again, but she is unwilling, what can Xiao Yike do?

The imperial concubine was stunned when she heard this, and was silent.

I don't want to come back......

smiled bitterly and said quietly: "She doesn't want to come back...... That's right!"

Xiao Yike's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't speak.

Suppressing the emotions in her heart, the imperial concubine asked calmly: "Tell the mother concubine, how did you find her?

Xiao Yike told the twists and turns one by one, and he didn't hide anything he knew, and told the imperial concubine everything.

The imperial concubine had been silent to listen to Xiao Yike, and after he finished speaking, she didn't say anything for a long time.

After a long time, she took a heavy breath, tears in her eyes, and seemed to sigh: "It's good to be alive ......."

The four words, full of them, are a mother's greatest hope for a child, she has been seeking Buddha every day for so many years, and she has been seeking it, but she can live without worry.

It was a child she held in the palm of her hand like her own daughter, although she had been obsessed with becoming a demon for so many years, but she didn't have much hope, and now she got the news that she was alive in the world, and the joy of losing and regaining it, only she herself understood.

Xiao Yike was noncommittal, indeed, there is nothing more important than being alive, as long as she is alive, it doesn't matter how things happened back then.

The imperial concubine thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Your father, the emperor...... Got it?"

Xiao Yike pondered for a moment and said, "Erchen just came from his father!"

He has already said what he needs to say.

The imperial concubine's eyes flashed slightly, but she didn't continue to ask, but smiled coldly, gritted her teeth with some sarcasm: "I'll just say why Tang Hui suddenly made this scene, it turns out that she already knows, but I just don't understand, she has already forced Her Majesty to this point, what else does she want to do?"

In the whole world, there is no second person except Tang Hui who can persecute His Majesty to this point, and even repeatedly forbearance and retreat despite the revenge of killing his wife and killing his daughter......

But what can it be, the things of that year, it has long been impossible to distinguish between right and wrong, and it has long been impossible to figure out who owes whom.

Xiao Yike was silent, his eyes lowered and pondered.

He actually knew most of the grievances and grievances of the previous generation, but he didn't know how to judge, so he didn't say half a word.

Only then did the imperial concubine continue to ask: "Just now you said that she is going to get married, you tell the mother concubine honestly, how is the regent of the Chu State, is it good for her?"

Xiao Yike explained Rong Zhi's situation one by one.

……

Because of Lou Yueqing's request, Rong Zhi did not embarrass Nangong Yi again, since this matter has to be suppressed and cannot involve Dongyou, then it will be a big matter, but Rong Zhi has no intention of letting go of the people involved, who can be killed, absolutely don't want to live, Qunfanglou as a stronghold of Rong Yan, Rong Zhi directly ordered, Qunfanglou harbored assassins, Qunfanglou was burned, all the people related to this matter were executed, and the rest of the unrelated people were all disbanded, and the king was also dismissed in disguise because of this matter, and he no longer had any power in his hands, so he could only be an idle prince, and Rong Yan, anyway, everyone said that he was sick, whether he was really sick or not, anyway, he didn't want to go out of the Xuanwen Hall again in a short time。

However, as soon as these things came to an end, the Shadow Soul returned.

Last month, Rong Zhi sent Mingshu to Beili to investigate the matter of Princess Changle, and now that nearly a month has passed, the matter has also come to an eyebrow, and everything that should be found is almost done.
