Although the queen mother has always been good at words, when she saw him, she felt that her heart was hit hard, and she was painful, ashamed and sad, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

As if she had seen a long-lost relative, her eyes were red.

She wanted to reach out and touch his hand, but she still didn't dare.

"How old are you?" asked the Queen Mother with a look of pity.

Xiao Diyuan also had a lot of emotion in his heart, and he didn't know how to open the conversation, but when he saw her asking, he hurriedly replied respectfully: "Seventeen." ”

"When was you born?" the Queen Mother asked again.

"August. ”

"August 15?"

Her third son, Li Yun, was born on August 15 of the same year, which happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she was particularly sad every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Xiao Diyuan looked at her and replied, "No, it's August 10." ”

He looked through his birth information, a date he had in mind.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said, "I once had a son born in the same year and month as you, but he was born five days later than you. ”

Xiao Diyuan said: "Your Majesty once told me that I heard that he had an accident while on vacation. ”

The Empress Dowager nodded, and immediately followed the topic: "We couldn't find any trace of him when we found out. ”

Speaking of the third son, Li Yun, the queen mother's nose was sour, and her eyes were red again.

"Have you checked?" Xiao Diyuan also asked.

He could see that after so many years, she was still very guilty about her third son.

"Checked, according to the clues currently available, he is believed to have been eaten by a wild wolf. ”

Xiao Diyuan frowned slightly, closed his eyes and said nothing.

The Empress Dowager poured tea for him with trembling hands and said: "I and I've always refused to believe it, and we've been looking for clues, but unfortunately, more than ten years have passed without further discovery." ”

As she said this, she looked at him again and said, "When I saw you, I thought you really looked like you." ”

Xiao Diyuan smiled implicitly.

"It's amazing that there are foreigners born in the same year and month and who look so similar, isn't it?" said the Queen Mother.

The corners of Xiao Diyuan's eyes suddenly became a little astringent, and he hurriedly turned his head to reply and said, "Yes." ”

The Queen Mother moved a small plate of pastries a few inches in her direction and asked, "Do you remember when you were a child?"

"I remember after I was three years old. ”

The Queen Mother was slightly stunned, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she asked in a low voice, "Don't you remember the previous ones?"

Xiao Diyuan smiled and nodded, "Hmm." ”

He was telling the truth, he really didn't remember anything before he was three years old.

The Queen Mother is also a person who has given birth to four children, and she will not be ignorant of the characteristics of each stage of growth of children, she is just a little unwilling.

Her third son was only eight months old when the accident happened, so naturally she would not have a memory of what happened at that time, and if she had, it would have been much easier to handle. The queen mother knew that she was demanding, so she smiled tolerantly and did not turn around on this issue again.

Then, she asked Xiao Diyuan some things very officially, and Xiao Diyuan also answered them one by one.

Although she asked very officially, Xiao Diyuan could still taste her concerns, and the sourness in her heart became more and more intense.

It stands to reason that he took the initiative to propose this meeting, and after the meeting, he should have taken the initiative to explain his intentions, but the truth is the opposite.

He has never behaved so passively in front of anyone, and he has never had such complicated feelings in front of anyone.

Now, he is not quite sure whether he is the third prince of Zhaoguo, but he is extremely sure that he is not the biological son of Xiao Hong and the Liu family. He took the initiative to ask the Empress Dowager Zhaoguo to come out to meet, the purpose was also to learn more about the life experience of the three princes of Zhaoguo, but although he had already thought of various ways to ask questions on the way here, he was still a little unable to open his mouth when he really faced the Empress Dowager of Zhaoguo.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager took the initiative to mention the matter of the three princes of Zhaoguo, which shows that she also understands the intention of his appointment this time.

Since that's the case, then simply open the skylight and say something. So Xiao Diyuan adjusted his sitting posture and said respectfully: "I asked you out this time, mainly because I am very interested in the affairs of the third prince, but I also know that it is out of bounds to ask about this matter in my identity." He glanced at her, and continued, "But my concern in this matter is not out of interest or intrigue between two countries, but out of concern for a life whose life is unknown, though you may find it a little pretentious and strange for me to do so." ”

Looking at the world, there is more than one person whose life and death are unknown, he just expressed concern about this, and his actions are indeed a little intriguing, but for the queen mother who is like a mirror in his heart, the purpose of his visit this time seems extremely natural, and even critical.

There are still too many mysteries to be solved about her third son Li Yun, no matter who is concerned about this matter, the queen mother is grateful, not to mention that the person sitting in front of her is very likely to be her third son Li Yun.

So the queen mother smiled and waved her hand and said, "The second prince is too worried......."

There was something to say immediately after her, but she didn't say it out of prudence.

Looking at her attitude, it seems that she doesn't mind him talking about the three princes of Zhaoguo, but the two are not from the same country after all, and she only understated the matter of the three princes of Zhaoguo to him before, if he asks carefully, she may not be willing to say more.

This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Diyuan didn't dare to be too active all of a sudden.

"Have you ever thought that your third son might still be alive?" asked Xiao Diyuan.

The Empress Dowager also smiled implicitly and said, "If he is really still in the world, it would be the best." Then she changed her tone and said, "Do you think he might still be alive?"

Xiao Diyuan smiled heartily and said, "Of course I hope so." Afraid that she would be suspicious of his actions, he explained: "This thing is also a little strange to say, I hope it does not make you wonder." ”

She smiled and said, "Thank you for paying attention to this matter." ”

Subtle and official words.

The two fell silent again, but they both looked at each other again, smiles of utter understanding.

Too many thoughts or concerns can't be spoken, but for some reason they refuse to be too defensive on the other party, so every word they say is thoughtful, for fear that they will involve too much and make things go the other way, but there is a desire to talk more if they can talk a little more.

Xiao Diyuan had already revealed the purpose of his trip, and the queen mother took the initiative to tell him about the accident of the third prince Li Yun after several considerations.

The old injuries are revealed, and it is inevitable that people will feel irrepressible pain, so when it comes to the back, the queen mother shed tears.
