The Queen Mother returned to her bedroom after dealing with the affairs of the emperor, and Mama He wanted to help the Queen Mother back to lie on the bed, she was afraid that the Queen Mother and Concubine Bo would have a quarrel, and her body would not be able to stand up.

The queen mother said that it was okay, and asked Mama He to leave with all the palace maids first, and she wanted to walk alone in the back garden of the palace.

Mama He didn't want to let go of the Queen Mother alone, for fear that something would happen to her, but when she saw the Queen Mother's resolute eyes, she understood that she had something, so she had to agree.

The ladies of the palace had left, and the Queen Mother walked through the corridor, around the rockery, and came to a pavilion.

This pavilion is very special, it is surrounded by vines with many small white beige flowers, which decorate this quaint cypress pavilion very elegantly. The Queen Mother looked at the pavilion with a smile on her lips.

When I got closer, I finally saw the man's back.

However, that figure is a little different from when it was a child.

As a child, he would sit here, his eyes wide open, looking curiously at the flowers in the pavilion, and he could not understand why they bloomed all year round and never seemed to wither. At this moment, he was just standing in the pavilion coldly, with his back to the Queen Mother. His figure was so thin and so cold that the Queen Mother felt distressed.

The Queen Mother slowly walked into the pavilion.

The man heard the movement behind him, quickly turned around, and saw that it was the queen mother, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"The Queen Mother, are you here?"

Seeing the figure of the Queen Mother, Murong Hao's eyes gave off a little luster.

The queen mother's body is indeed not very good, but with Murong Hao's support, she can still walk. Finally came to the pavilion and sat down, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Is the fragrance in this pavilion always so elegant and fragrant?" ”

Murong Hao nodded obediently and slightly embarrassed like a child, "Yes." ”

The Empress Dowager looked around the pavilion, and when she looked out from the inside, she could only see some hanging vines and small flowers on the vines, which was different from what she saw outside the pavilion.

"When I was a child, you always asked the mourning family why the flowers here bloom all year round, and it seems that they never get tired." As soon as the Queen Mother remembered Murong Hao's innocent appearance when she was a child, her face was filled with a natural sense of happiness, as if Murong Hao was not someone else's child, or her Queen Mother's own flesh and blood.

In fact, for the Queen Mother, it doesn't matter whether Murong Hao is her own or not, the important thing is that he and she are well.

Murong Hao followed the queen mother's gaze and looked at the pavilion, "Yes, Erchen still can't figure out this problem, the flowers in other places only bloom twice a year at most, only the small flowers in this pavilion bloom all year round, it seems that they will never be tired, and they will never get tired of this feeling of blooming." ”

The Empress Dowager retracted her gaze and looked at Murong Hao with a sad face, "It's not that you don't want to understand, it's that you don't want to know the answer." You are the saint today, and when a holy decree goes down, there will be countless folk masters to answer your doubts, but you didn't do that, just hoping to preserve this mystery. This is also the reason why you have repeatedly asked the mourning family, but the mourning family has not sued you. ”

"Then why...... Now do you want to sue sù erchen? Murong Hao's eyes were filled with tears, it turned out that the woman beside him, who was getting weaker and weaker, had been protecting his little thoughts.

The Queen Mother looked at the withered vines under the flowers, "One day, I will be like these vines, slowly losing their vitality." But the mourners are not as lucky as vines, even if they are corrupted and dried up, they can still survive for many years. ”

Murong Hao saw that the Queen Mother's eyes were full of tears, and his heart also hurt.

The Empress Dowager continued: "There are some things that I can say to you as much as I can, I'm afraid...... I won't have a chance to tell you about it again. ”

Before the words fell, tears slid down his cheeks.

Murong Hao took the Empress Dowager's hand, "No, Erchen will definitely let the best doctor in the world treat you." ”

The queen mother's face was still filled with a happy smile, but tears still couldn't help falling, she shook her head gently, "The mourning family's own body, the mourning family understands in their hearts." Hao'er, don't focus on these little things, the most important thing now is to protect the Great Qi River. ”

"The Queen Mother's body is by no means a trivial matter." Murong Hao insisted, when he saw the weak appearance of the queen mother, he blamed himself in his heart, he was busy with government affairs a few days ago, although he heard that the queen mother's body was not very good, and he also sent the imperial physician to take a look, but he himself did not come to see the queen mother in person, let alone know that she was sick like this.

The queen mother was very resolute, "Compared with the rivers and mountains of Daqi, the old bones of the mourning family are really nothing." Hao'er, the mourning family knows that sometimes you are also very difficult, if it weren't for that, you wouldn't have come here to steal half a moment of leisure. A wise monarch will be troubled and overwhelmed, but he should be able to handle the affairs of his family and country. He must also deal with it, otherwise the world will be in chaos and the people will be panicked, and the consequences will be difficult for all of us to bear. ”

The Empress Dowager's words touched Murong Hao's heart, he knew that his identity was the Emperor of Great Qi, and troubles were always everywhere, but he also knew that he couldn't slack off at all, and if he slacked off a little, he was taken advantage of by those people with ill intentions, and it was not only him Murong Hao who was unlucky, but also the people of Great Qi.

"The sons will be, the Empress Dowager Xie taught." Murong Hao is sincerely grateful to the Queen Mother, although the Queen Mother is not his biological mother, but in Murong Hao's opinion, the Queen Mother is closer than her biological mother. When he was a child, he came to the queen mother's bedroom by mistake, and he also came to this pavilion by mistake. If the Empress Dowager was a scheming woman, she could have taken the opportunity to get close to Murong Hao to kill Murong Hao and cut off Concubine Bo's thoughts. But not only did she not do this, but she always relieved Murong Hao's boredom and talked to Murong Hao, like a mother, more like a big sister.

The Queen Mother smiled, "You're serious again." Every time you thank me earnestly, I feel like I can't laugh or cry. Didn't it help you in any way, as for being so serious? ”

Seeing the Empress Dowager smiling brightly, Murong Hao also laughed.

"Are you worried about Maitreya's religion this time?" The Queen Mother is not going to go around in circles.

Murong Hao nodded, "The people of the Maitreya Sect are really too much, burning, killing, and plundering are all evil, but as long as the ministers ask people to investigate the matter of the Maitreya Sect, someone will interfere, even if no one directly intervenes, the information reported by the court officials is all inconsequential things." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed slightly, it seems that the origin of this Maitreya Sect is not much different from what she expected, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Murong Hao's brows were furrowed, his face was full of anxiety, "Empress Dowager, what should the retainer do to truly solve this problem?" ”

For a long time, Murong Hao was most afraid of hearing anything about Maitreya's teaching, and even when he dreamed that someone said those three words, he would wake up from his dream.

The Empress Dowager stared at Murong Hao's eyes, to be honest, she had never seen Murong Hao's eyes so gray.

"Do you know something?" The Empress Dowager was worried that there was something hidden behind Maitreya's religion.

Murong Hao didn't know where to start for a while, "I ......"

"You don't need to elaborate, Hao'er, the mourning family is a person who is dying, there is a saying that people are dying and their words are good, the mourning family has been looking forward to you since you were young, you have grown up, and the mourning family hopes that you are good. If the people of Maitreya Sect are good people, they will not bring trouble to Daqi, let alone do things that hurt heaven and reason, burn, kill, and plunder. Since they did so, and no one framed or wronged them, it shows that they are tired. What does Hao'er think about such a force? ”

"Kill!"

Murong Hao listened to the Queen Mother's words, and his mouth suddenly opened.

The Queen Mother patted Murong Hao's hand, hoping to give him some warmth, why was this child's eyes full of murderous aura? What was it that made him so lost?

Now that she has said this, the Queen Mother plans to explain everything she wants to say to Murong Hao, even if she dies, she can die with peace of mind. The Empress Dowager said again: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Maitreya Sect has no other plans, it seems that there is no threat to the rivers and mountains of Great Qi for the time being." However, one day, when their power grows stronger, they want to make some noise. Hao'er, you have read so many history books, you should understand that forces like Maitreya are not beneficial to the imperial court. ”

Murong Hao nodded, "Empress Dowager, Erchen understands what to do." ”

The Empress Dowager nodded, and suddenly a figure flashed in her mind, and said, "How is Concubine Bo coming in?" The mourning family had seen that her face was not very good. ”

"I don't know."

In front of the Queen Mother, Murong Hao did not have the prestige he pretended to be in front of the ministers, nor did he have the deliberate well-behaved in front of Concubine Bo, but like a child who was annoyed, with a childish temper that belonged to him.

The Queen Mother said: "Your mother is a little impulsive, but Hao'er, you have to remember that if there is no her, there will be no you." In any case, don't hurt her life. It is very gratifying to be able to watch you slowly grasp the real power and get rid of the control of others. ”

Seeing the Queen Mother confessing to Murong Hao like her last words, Murong Hao's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

The Empress Dowager patted the back of Murong Hao's hand, "If you have rested enough, go back to the palace, the father-in-law and palace maids in your palace are frightened." ”

Murong Hao nodded.

Looking at the back of Murong Hao leaving, the Queen Mother smiled with relief, but she didn't know that Murong Hao's heart hurt because of her, and tears fell because of her.

If he could, how much Murong Hao wished that his mother concubine was the queen mother, not the vitriol, unreasonable, and unforgiving concubine Bo.

As soon as Murong Hao returned to the dormitory, he saw the depressed and frightened expressions of his father-in-law and palace maids, and understood what the queen mother meant, 'Your father-in-law and palace maids in your palace are frightened'.

Hearing that Murong Hao had returned to the palace, Concubine Bo immediately rushed over.

Murong Hao felt a headache when he saw the figure of Concubine Bo, and he was more cold.

Concubine Bo had a smile on her face, a guilty smile, "Hao'er, have you returned to the palace?" ”R638
