The candle flame in the hall swayed, the wisps of medicinal incense fluttered in the air, the wind outside the window swept by, gently brushed the phoenix tail bamboo outside, and a low whimper, as if telling some old past.

Rong Xi put her hands on her knees, lowered her eyes and did not speak, she knew that the queen had something to say to herself when she took Hao Lian Zize, since this was the case, just wait for her to speak.

The queen appreciated her attitude and behavior even more, her eyes were far-reaching, and a few warm smiles appeared on her haggard face, "You are very smart. ”

Rong Xi raised his eyes and looked at her, "The queen mother praised it." ”

"Smart people, this palace has seen a lot, but there are not many people who are smart and know how to measure," the palace said leisurely, the expression of a face flickered in the candle shadow, "People, once they are smart, they often lose a degree, and this degree is far more important than that intelligence." ”

"The queen mother is right," Rong Xi smiled at her, "The seventh prince is pure filial piety, and he is concerned about your illness, so he brought the grass people into the palace under the eagerness of filial piety. ”

Her words are very clear, she doesn't feel that she is gilded because of this time for the queen's diagnosis, let alone any reward, she just wants to go back to live a good and free life, and she doesn't want to use this as a springboard to be an official.

"It's rare that you are so young and yet see so clearly." The queen nodded, and she paused and continued, "Who are you?" ”

"The grass people are ......" Rong Xi hesitated, "It's a person from the Jokhang Kingdom." ”

"Oh?" The palace straightened up, and the silk curtain at the head of the bed reflected her shadow, thick and lonely, "Are you from the Jokhang Kingdom?" ”

"Yes," Rong Xi remained silent, but he was slightly surprised by the queen's gaffe in his heart, "Caomin is a native of the Jokhang Kingdom, and he only came to Mingxiao Country some time ago to practice medicine among the people. ”

"That ......" The queen's language was slightly eager, and before the words could be spoken, she realized her gaffe, slowly leaned back on the pillow, and breathed a long sigh of relief, and the sorrow between her eyebrows lingered gently, like a lingering old nightmare.

"Have you always traveled among the people?" After a while, she asked.

"Sort of," Rong Xi nodded.

"Jokhang Kingdom...... Hongu, I haven't been to it for a long time. The tone of the palace was as leisurely as the wind, low as a complaint, as if a heavy curtain of the old days had been slowly opened, and the dust was flying in the gentle movement, which made people a little relieved.

The candle flame "snapped", and the light suddenly brightened, and Rong Xi saw the slight wateriness in the queen's eyes, as well as the slightest pain, gently spread out in her eyes.

"Twenty-three years ago, the palace went to the Jokhang Buddha Council," she smiled softly, there was a little helplessness and regret in the laugh lines, "just because I heard that the Bodhisattva in the temple on the mountain is special, the palace wanted to go very much, and the emperor was willing to let the palace go at that time, but the palace was determined to go to ......"

There was a heavy sadness in her voice, like a viscous and heavy bitter medicine, soaked in the past layer by layer, and the elegant fragrance of the phoenix tail bamboo outside the window drifted into the house faintly, so that Rong Xi, who was hanging down her eyes, couldn't help but think of the pearl in front of the window of the Red Sleeve Garden, and the fragrance was so elegant at that time......

"After all, it is in the territory of another country," the queen continued slowly: "The identity of this palace is special, so I hurried back after worshipping the Buddha at that time, how do I know...... I actually met a black bear......"

The queen paused gently, and the painful memory came to her face again with the roar of the black bear, making her breathing a little heavy, "At that time, in order not to attract attention, there were not many people accompanying her, and the personal grandmother died tragically in order to protect the palace, and those guards were also injured, and the death of the death, the palace was pregnant with the ...... of Liujia"

She couldn't say any more, her voice changed a little, Rong Xi heard her last words, her eyebrows couldn't help jumping slightly, she tried to suppress the urge to reach out to protect her lower abdomen, and at this moment, she finally understood what the sorrow that lingered between the queen's eyebrows was.

"Fortunately, in the end, I finally got rid of the beast, and the palace hid alone in a broken temple, but because of the rush and panic along the way, the fetus was born prematurely, and the palace desperately gave birth to a baby boy, but only had time to try to hold on to see if it was intact and healthy, and passed out." Her voice became more and more painful, and the moisture under her eyes became thicker and thicker, like the reappearance in late autumn, slowly condensing, and finally became a crystal and cold droplet.

However, when Hongu woke up, he found the baby boy...... He's dead. The queen's voice was harsh, she seemed to use all her strength, spit out the last two words, her straight body suddenly loosened, and the tears in her eyes surged out.

Those two words also smashed into Rong Xi's heart like a thousand pounds of heavy stones, she may not have been able to understand it in the past, but now, she feels the same way.

She couldn't find the right words to comfort the queen, and she finally understood where the queen's worries came from, she must have been blaming herself, if it wasn't for her insistence, but waiting for labor in the palace with peace of mind, maybe ......

However, things are not possible.

"Queen, it's been so long, parents must want to do everything they can to love their children, but he has ......already gone" Rong Xi's words didn't speak, only heard the queen whisper: "No! ”

She straightened up, her hands propped up on the edge of the bed, the tears in her eyes had not yet receded, and the layers of mist were still misty, but the boundless fire had erupted from the bottom of her eyes, staring at Rong Xi scorchingly.

Her face flushed unhealthily, and even the skin on her neck flushed, and she said word by word: "The child of this palace is not dead!" I had seen it before I was in a coma, and there were three red moles on the back of the child in this palace, but there were no dead babies on his body! No! ”

After the queen finished speaking, as if she had lost all her strength, she let go of her hand and leaned heavily on the big pillow, the bed shook slightly, the bed curtain jumped slightly, and a heavy shadow was reflected in Rong Xi's heart.

Rong Xi took a soft breath.

I see.

"This palace has been looking for him for a long time, but he ...... There was no news," the queen murmured, her voice low as if she were talking to herself, "However, this palace will not give up, never give up......"

Rong Xi suddenly understood that she was worried about what the reason for her to take advantage of this medical treatment as a springboard to embark on a career was because she heard that she had traveled among the people and was from the Jokhang Kingdom, and she wanted to tell herself about this past and pinned her hopes of finding this prince on herself.

Sure enough, the queen was silent for a while, as if she had saved some strength, before she slowly spoke: "Can you ...... Help Hongu find this child? It's a pity that he was stolen from birth, and his whereabouts are unknown, and he doesn't know what kind of family he fell into or what kind of life he lived...... And this qiē is all due to the obsession of the main palace......"

She didn't finish speaking, she covered her face and wept softly, tears flowed from her fingers, dripping on the thin brocade quilt covered by her, splashing into a splash, instantly dipped into the smooth brocade, and disappeared.

The room breathed and smelled, and the woman's weeping cries spread out quietly in the night, and the heavy sadness was like a heavy lock locked on people's hearts, heavy but unable to open.

All the language comfort is pale, Rong Xi knows that even if this matter is difficult, she can't refuse, the queen of a country is facing a grass people, whether it is fate or trust, tears flow down her eyes and tell you the past that has made her miserable for more than 20 years, and then you say, you can't do it.

Do you still want to live?

When Rong Xi withdrew from the queen's room, he saw Hao Lian Zize standing under the porch, and he turned around and smiled softly at her.

That smile was as bright as spring, and his eyes were flowing, it was the most gorgeous color in the world, however, at this moment, Rong Xi suddenly understood the profound meaning that he was smiling most of the time.

Two pairs of eyes that were alike, one stained with melancholy and pain, while the other was smiling hard, trying to make the other happy.

Rong Xi smiled heartily at Hao Lian Zize, her smile bloomed quietly in the night, and the smile in the moonlight was like a beautiful petal quietly stretching, without fragrance.

"You ......" Hao Lian Zize was stunned by that smile, and couldn't speak with his mouth open.

Rong Xi restrained his smile and regained his usual calmness, "It's okay." ”

"Hey, you laugh one more, laugh another." Hao Lian Zize pleaded again and again.

"Ye is not joking." Rong Xi stood with his hands in his hands and said towards the moonlight.

“……”

Xiao'er was taken by Hao Lianzhao to visit, Rong Xi was pulled onto the roof of the palace by Hao Lian Zize, Rong Xi looked at the continuous roof ridge in the distance, like a winding dragon rushing and surging in the vast night, the momentum is magnificent and huge, and it is comparable to ordinary places.

She couldn't help but sigh in admiration, thinking that the habit of the Seventh Prince always liking the roofs of others was developed like this?

Hao Lian Zize picked up the wine jug beside him, took a sip of wine, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the void in the distance and said: "The queen mother is always very melancholy, I have often seen her sad face since I was sensible, at first I thought it was me who was not good enough, and then I ......"

He laughed softly, "When I grew up and my mother sued me, I realized that I also have an older brother, my biological brother." ”

His tone focused on "biological", Rong Xi was silent, she naturally understood that in this deep palace royal, you may have many brothers and sisters, but more often, when she turned around, she found that her hands were empty and there was nothing.

Family affection, the flesh and blood of the dearest, perhaps, should be a little warmer.
