A man's voice suddenly appeared in the empty ruined temple, which frightened the mother and son, and the little boy subconsciously protected the woman and yelled fiercely: "Who are you?"

"I'm the queen's guard. Guard Zhang arched his hand upwards and took out his waist card, "The queen mother is not worried about this child, so she will let her subordinates escort her." ”

"The Queen's mother?" the woman struggled to sit up with hope in her eyes, panting, "I beg the adults to help this child." ”

"If you tell the original story, I will tell the queen. Zhang Weiwei was very curious about the reason why the mother and son did not go to the government to ask for help, but had to ask the queen for help.

Seeing hope, the woman held on to her tattered body and talked about the origin of their mother and son intermittently.

This woman claimed to be surnamed Jiang, and her husband's name was Zhao Dahu, a native of Dingyuan, who had joined Zhu Yuanzhang's army. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was fighting everywhere, and the soldiers often could not return home for three or five years, and the Jiang family was displaced with their children, and finally lost contact with their husbands. When Zhu Yuanzhang sat firmly in the world, the soldiers could go home to save their relatives, but Jiang did not wait for her husband to return.

The desperate Jiang family worked hard to raise their children Zhao Xiaohu alone, but last year they heard that her husband was not dead and someone had seen her in the palace. The Jiang family, who had a glimmer of hope, immediately rushed to the capital with Zhao Xiaohu, but the palace was not a place where she could enter at will, and she did not have real evidence to prove that her husband was indeed in the palace, and this kind of hearsay would not even be accepted by the government. She had to wander around the palace, hoping to see her husband, but after waiting for more than a year, she did not see him.

Later, someone gave Jiang an idea, saying that the queen mother was a kind person, and if she could see the queen mother and ask her to help find it in the palace, she would definitely be able to find Zhao Dahu's whereabouts.

Jiang went to the palace gate to ask to see the queen, but she had no power, no evidence, and the guards would not pay attention to such idle people, and even drove her away.

The lack of a place to live and the emaciation of her mind tortured this woman to the point that she could not become a human form, and the cold winter completely ruined Jiang's body. She still did not give up hope, looking forward to it day and night, looking forward to seeing the queen, and let Zhao Xiaohu wander near the palace every day. Hearing that the queen was going out of the palace to give porridge today, she took Zhao Xiaohu to wait at the gate of the palace early in the morning, and repeatedly told Zhao Xiaohu to see the queen's situation.

It's a pity that Zhao Xiaohu missed the big opportunity with his mother's heart, and now the appearance of Zhang Guard's guard is tantamount to the last glimmer of hope, Jiang pulled Zhao Xiaohu and couldn't stop begging, and both of them had their scalps broken.

Zhang Weiwei hurriedly called Jiang Shi, although he sympathized with the mother and son, but he did not dare to make his own decisions on this matter, and hurriedly came back with the information Jiang Shi said to inform Ma Xiuying.

Xun Ying burst into tears when she heard this, "Master, you must help them, they are so pitiful......"

Ma Xiuying said solemnly: "This Jiang's husband is serving the country to cause his wife to be separated, even if this person dies on the battlefield, his family should be properly taken care of by the government, how can he be allowed to live on the streets, eat and sleep in the open." Zhang Guard, you first arrange for the mother and son to live in the inn, find a doctor to diagnose and treat Jiang's condition, and let them live in peace. This palace ordered a thorough investigation of the identity and origin of the palace people, and whether her husband was dead or alive, this palace would give her an explanation. Even if her husband is gone, the palace will give them a certain amount of pension and settle their mother and son in the future. ”

"Yes!" Guard Zhang immediately ordered to retreat.

Xun Ying burst into tears and smiled, "The master is merciful and compassionate, and the people will definitely be grateful to you." ”

"With this lip service, don't you want to check the roster?" Ma Xiuying simply didn't have a problem with this girl, she cried and laughed for a while, and she was still not stable at all after teaching countless lessons. Who in the harem does not live with a mask, if it were not for Ma Xiuying's protection, it is estimated that Xunying would have been dead long ago, but it is precisely because of Xunying's pure heart that Ma Xiuying is not very good at her.

Ma Xiuying's decision to thoroughly investigate the identities of the eunuchs and guards caused turmoil in the palace, and the concubines didn't know why Ma Xiuying did this, so they warned the people in their palace to be careful, and not to be caught by Ma Xiuying. For a while, there was a lot of noise in the palace, and the atmosphere of the New Year was diluted a lot.

Li Qi'er held an ancient book in her hand, which was an ancient book that recorded the secret prescriptions of medicine. Li Qi'er herself didn't understand medical science, and when she left Yao's mansion, she was reluctant to take out a medical book that Yao Tianxi (Daoyan) often reads to see things and think about people. Over the years, the ancient books have been pressed by her to the bottom of the box intact, and there is a faint smell of camphor on it. She stroked the ancient books and burst into tears, Young Master Yao wanted to be a doctor like Bian Que Hua Tuo back then, but he turned out to be a monk...... If it weren't for Ma Xiuying, why would he be here, he wouldn't have followed Zhu Yuanzhang......

Li Qi'er's mood is very contradictory, she has never imagined the life of fine clothes and food over the years, and such a noble status is also beyond the reach of many ordinary women. However, who can understand the sadness of seeing Zhu Yuanzhang for a month or even a few months, and behind the prosperity is often only Gu Ying's self-pity. She fantasized more than once that if her husband was just a commoner, the couple would think about it day and night, raise their eyebrows, and be willing even if they couldn't live the luxurious life they are now.

It's all because Ma Xiuying ruined her dream, if Yao Tianxi didn't become a monk, Mrs. Yao would definitely let him take her as a concubine, and she would definitely make Yao Tianxi have real feelings for herself...... Ma Xiuying is the culprit who harms others and herself, but she is embarrassed to warn her......

Resentment and jealousy distorted Li Qi'er's face, and it was not until she heard the news that Ma Xiuying was going to thoroughly investigate the identities of the eunuchs and guards that she gradually regained her composure, calmly put the book back at the bottom of the box, and listened respectfully and humbly to the palace people announcing their will.

The palace people all have archives on the record, and the palace's reply is also very fast, but after checking the roster for an afternoon, there is no whereabouts of Zhao Dahu. Could it be that Zhao Dahu has already been killed? Ma Xiuying was a little melancholy, if this bad news was told to the Jiang family, I was afraid that the Jiang family would not be able to hold on any longer.

"The monks have finished praying, but the master still can't see them?"

Ma Xiuying thought of Dao Yan, her eyes darkened again, and she sighed: "No need, reward the masters, let them go out of the palace by themselves." ”

Former friends, today's strangers, are in the same palace, but it is not even convenient to meet, the so-called close world is nothing more than that.

As the sun sets, the afterglow casts obliquely on the palace, and the mist slowly floats in the air, as if to paint the colorful glow with a layer of rust. The cold wind suddenly rose, bringing a heavy coolness, and the weak plum trembled for a while, and the pink petals slowly fell to the ground.

"Persuade the monarch not to cherish the golden clothes, and persuade the monarch to cherish the youth. The flowers can be folded straight, and the branches must be broken without flowers. Ma Xiuying suddenly remembered Du Qiuniang's "Golden Silk Clothes", but youth has passed, prosperity has also fallen, and everything will not return to the original point, leaving sadness in vain.
