"Even us, Aunt Ning, as an emperor, know that when we stand tall enough, it is very likely that we will not be able to see a lot of things, and many people will be ignored by us, and they will also be forgotten, and they are weak. You can't see them if you stay in the palace, they live in the middle of the rivers and lakes, and the real weak live in the underworld in those corners and alleys where the sun doesn't shine, like thieves, rapists, bandits, and the like. No matter how powerful the power of the state is, these people can never be eradicated, and there will always be lowly and weak people in the world, who cannot be as rich and well-fed as we are, and look to the future and let them do their best just to live. ”

"You kid is also strange, how could you think of these things? You are the hero and savior of the Yin Kingdom!"

"Wrong! Of course I'm not a savior, the real saviors are the soldiers of the Yin Kingdom! And I have no intention of eradicating those who live in the darkness of the weak, we are high up and above this is not wrong, but for this country, our main role is to maintain balance, many people as long as the word emperor is mentioned, what comes to mind is the kind of king of the world who holds the power of life and death, the emperors enjoy the most beautiful and enchanting women, spend a lot of money to reward ugly ministers, and play the princes with a faint beacon fire, and do everything to fill the desire, but what is the truth, my father and you must know it. ”

"These are what your father told you. ”

"My teacher, the holder of the bull's ear of Luoshen Academy, the third generation of the old minister of the Yin Kingdom, Zuo Ci, is also the teacher of my father. ”

"Emperor Zuo Ci? ”

"When I was a child, I proudly told the teacher how powerful our Yinguo Iron Cavalry was, how powerful my father was, who knew that he scolded me severely, and the teacher also told me that the hundreds of thousands of Yinjun soldiers did not die for my father, nor did they die for some bullshit glory, they are weak in another sense, most of them are children who cannot enter the Confucian Academy in the barracks, or gangsters who go to the store with knives to ask for silver, and are caught and forcibly sent to the barracks, and there are many children born to those prostitutes, they grow up slowly, and their mothers are slowly aging and have nowhere to return, and there is nowhere to go except to the barracks, in their opinion, their lives are not an important thing, and they have not thought about whether they will die on the battlefield, it is very likely that this meal is the last one now, they have no choice of anything, they can only live in the present, until they die, there is no future!"

Speaking of this, Chu Xianzhao smiled dumbly, and his eyes turned red when he smiled.

Empress Shuyue couldn't help laughing, but soon some small memories came to her mind.

It's probably like what the teenager said, living in the moment and being forced to live in the present......

"Chu Xiaohua is really blessed to have a child like you, if only you were my child. She gently stroked the boy's face, and the little princess tugged at his sleeve: "I want a brother too......"

"Your father and I will be soon

will grow old, and you can only protect yourself when the time comes, but who will protect her?" she looked down at her daughter, and Chu Xianzhao said with a hippie smile: "Aunt Ning, are you still young? If the two of us walk together in Lin'an City, no one will feel strange if we call you a fairy sister, maybe I will still think that I am old." ”

The empress is also a woman, and when she heard this junior boasting that she was beautiful and young, she nodded vigorously and said, "I have heard more than your father." ”

"What about my princess, although she is still young now, she will definitely be more beautiful than me in the future, don't you care?" said with a chuckle, rubbing the extremely fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

Chu Xianzhao laughed and said, "Aunt Ning is not as an elder as you. ”

"Then it seems that there is no hope for my princess? She teased her daughter, who curled up in her mother's arms and laughed.

"I like it!" Xiao Nizi replied in a low voice, but Chu Xianzhao was embarrassed, touching his head vigorously.

"Your Majesty the Empress. The guards brought by Tantai Ningsu reported in front of the door.

"What's the matter with this early morning?" the empress had no intention of chatting with him.

"His Majesty Emperor Yin has a very urgent matter to find you, saying that it is related to Shuyue, and his subordinates dare not ask more, please move to the imperial study. ”

"Shu Yue, is something happening?" Without saying a word, Ning Su stuffed her daughter into Chu Xianzhao's arms, Chu Xianzhao was stunned for a moment and gently supported her arm, and the little princess exposed her white porcelain-like calves under her skirt, dangling in mid-air.

"Help me take care of her, I'll be back in a moment. The Empress pushed open the door, and the bright morning light came in.

He put the little princess on his lap, and through the window lattice of the main hall, Chu Xianzhao looked at the morning glow in the distance. The morning clouds are changing, the clouds on the horizon reflect the afterglow of the morning sun, revealing the gilded corners, Chu Zhaozhao likes the morning sun and phoenix the most, and what makes him most fascinated is a gentle and bright face that often appears on the clouds, whenever he always looks far away, trying to see the appearance of that face, and suddenly a gust of wind blows the clouds away at this time, leaving a clear blue in the sky

He closed his bright purple pupils, quietly wiped away the tears of longing, and silently hugged the quiet shoulders of Yutai.

Tantai Tranquility stretched out his hand and poked his waist, and shouted out to his brother, Chu Xianzhao looked down at the empress's distant back, and said with a confused gaze: "I also want a mother." ”

......

......

At this time, the Imperial Study.

Emperor Yinhuang looked at the vermilion lacquered wooden box on the table, and padbed the box with a flag, which was the white background silver python flag of the Shantai family. The seal had been torn off by him, and his expression was as stiff as if it were made of pig iron.

"Calling me back early this morning to accompany my daughter, and now calling me over in such a hurry, what happened?" The woman came to him with her skirt, looked at the wooden box on the desk along the man's gaze, and asked with a smile: "What kind of gift is this?"

What is it?"

Emperor Yinhuang glanced up at her, with the pressure of fear in the silence, Tantai Ningsu was frightened by his gaze, and then she remembered the purpose of Emperor Yinhuang calling her to come to the imperial study: "You just said that it is related to Shu Yue, what happened to Shu Yue." ”

"Do you go and see for yourself, or will I tell you personally?" The green tendons on Emperor Yin's forehead throbbed, and his fist gradually exploded, and the woman looked at her blankly, and reached out to lift the lid of the wooden box.

If she were given a chance, she would rather gouge out her eyes than look at what's inside.

For a long time, tears slowly welled up in her eyes, her lips were bitten by her blood, pain, sadness, hatred, all emotions related to revenge poured into her heart.

A pale head was lying on the red cloth, that was the head of the Empress Dowager of Shuyue, her mother's head, brought back to Yinguo from Shuyue, the head was sprinkled with lime, the bridge of the nose and eye sockets had dried up, at this time, it was completely impossible to see what kind of difference this noble Empress Dowager had from those dead rural peasant women.

In the memory of Emperor Yin, the woman in that memory always likes the big red palace skirt, dressed up beautifully every day, it is said that the request for marriage with Yinguo was made by her first, but after he came to Shuyue, this woman who was the queen of Shuyue always sneered at herself, and looked at him like a wild boar who wanted to gnaw her own cabbage, maybe the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law most of the eyes like this.

This face, Tan Tai Ning Su thought about it, this was not her mother, this was not her beloved mother, and it was not her daughter's grandmother. That incomparably warm face, she cried and poured out countless times against the face of the queen mother, from the hollow deep nest, she could not find a trace of her mother's dark gray eyes, the expression on her face was painful and tangled, how much pain did they let this poor old woman experience?

She will definitely pay back ten times the pain to those who killed her!

"Ning Su...... I'm sorry, this box was delivered to the palace gate before dawn today, so that the person who sent it had already left Lin'an City, but the guards guarding the city wrote down the name on his line - Xu Meng...... Do you know Xu Meng?"

Xu Meng...... He is from Shantai Ninghua's side, since this box was sent by him, then I think the situation in Lijing City is already a civil war, maybe Shantai Ninghua has established himself as the king...... I didn't expect it to be the hand of Tantai Ninghua himself. Emperor Yin closed the box and helped her to the chair on the side, and Tai Ningsu suddenly pushed his hand away, and his eyes became extremely cold, like a cold inlet: "I want to go back to Shuyue!

"No, you can't go back to Shuyue, take a good look at this letter, Tantai Ninghua has killed all those courtiers who are loyal to you, and declared that you are no longer the empress of Shuyue, and now you have turned to form an alliance with Yan Yue!"

Yutai was stunned. It was too sudden, and I gradually gritted my teeth: "

Is Shantai Ninghua planning to seize my power, unite with Yan Ying to attack Yinguo and then kill me? I have endured what he has done over the years, and now he is-"

"Hmph, I know that person is a dangerous poisonous snake, the excuse on this letter is probably that you are ineffective in governing the country, mediocre and troublesome to the court, and now you are still relying on the Yin flag to make a living, such a stupid statement, your people actually believe it!"

Tantai Ning Su was silent, and after a long time, she slowly put her face on Emperor Yin's shoulder: "Chu Xiaohua...... I'm going to confess to you, to confess the story of all this......"

"You say, I don't blame you, I don't blame you for whatever you do. ”
