The Queen Mother sat down. Her snow-white face is delicate and smooth, and because of long-term proper maintenance, the reversal of the day and night in the past few days has not made the condition of her skin worse. She was still beautiful and majestic, but her spirit had been tensed to the limit, and there was no Tong Guan by her side at this time, only the snow silkworm was left, which made her a little uneasy.

She didn't know what he was going to report to him. She didn't like to face things that she didn't know and didn't prepare, and she especially didn't like it when she was so unprepared. It would make her extremely uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do about it. - Ah, but, maybe it's something that is beneficial to the emperor, so maybe that's not enough. Anyway, it has come to this, and nothing is more important than the life of the young emperor. However, before that, she still has plenty of time to buffer.

Shao Bowen and Liu Anshi were tied up in front of her. She looked up and said, "Untie it." ”

In order to prevent the prisoner from escaping, the rope is always tied tightly, and it is not easy to loosen the tie. So in the process of untying, the Queen Mother took the time to look at the two people: their faces and expressions looked quite different: Liu Anshi, because he had been in a high-pressure environment for a long time, and had been in the most sinister prison, his expression had a deep sense of bitterness and hatred, and a pair of eyes that were as alert as beasts were shining; It's interesting that they're all in the same situation now.

When the two of them knelt on the ground in a normal state, she first asked from a familiar person: "Liu Anshi, the mourning family hasn't seen you for a long time." How have you been in the prison for the past few years?"

Liu Anshi raised his head and gritted his teeth and smiled: "Thank you for the Queen Mother's concern, Weichen is very good." Thanks to your Hongfu, you can also eat two more years of longevity rice. ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Yes, that mourning family is really honored." The mourning family really didn't expect that even if you lost everything and fell into this almost irretrievable situation, there are still so many people who care about you and love you, and even the prince has to gamble his life to save you, and even, even the most loyal royal equipment, obey your orders, as soon as you come out, you immediately receive your instructions, and slipped out of the palace under the nose of the mourning family. ”

"The Queen Mother can rest assured that no matter what time she wears imperial equipment, she is the most loyal to the emperor. Liu Anshi said, "I made a mistake, and that child will never be tolerated." The Queen Mother, please rest assured, he can kill me for the emperor's sake. ”

"For the emperor's ?......," the Queen Mother smiled, "During the time you have lived in the prison, ordinary people can't even survive nine deaths, it's really amazing." You have suffered more in this life than in other people's two lives. ”

Liu Anshi said: "I don't dare to take it, I only suffer physical suffering, but my heart is not very tired." But the Queen Mother, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still as radiant as before, young and beautiful, and the minister is very pleased. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Liu Anshi, now that you are out of the prison, the mourning family will no longer torture you." However, the mourning family still wants to ask: Have you ever reflected on yourself in the prison?

When Liu Anshi heard this, he laughed out loud, raised his voice and said: "Knowing the mistake? I Liu Anshi will not change if I believe in a reason, I don't think I have done anything wrong, even if I am locked up for another ten or eight years, even if I become a dry bone, I will not feel that I am wrong!"

He smiled and shrugged his shoulders, and several guards around him held his shoulders, and were about to make the next move, but were stopped by the Queen Mother: "Let him go-"

Shao Bowen's long, low-hanging eyelashes lifted slightly. He was watching both sides of the standoff.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother smiled: "That's right." You didn't change your mind because of this, and that's right. ”

Liu Anshi paused for a moment and said, "So I was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, not because the emperor hated me, but because of the 'Huayang Sect', right?"

The Queen Mother said slowly: "Do you guess this is the case? If you can't guess, let the Lord Shao next to you say." She slowly looked back at Shao Bowen and said, "I heard that Shao Yong's descendants can see the past and the future, so I wonder why he can't predict the danger he will face."

Shao Bowen raised his head and smiled softly: "See the Queen Mother." In the lower Shao Bowen, he is the descendant of Shao Yong. ”

The Queen Mother smiled slightly bitterly: "Originally, if you stayed in Shudi, no one would think of you, and the so-called arrest warrant was almost no longer valid outside the imperial city." But you rushed back at this time, entered Bianjing City, and sealed the city, who will you arrest if you don't arrest?"

Shao Bowen bowed his head and said humbly: "This scene, my father knew about it many years ago, and this is also my inescapable fate, and I can't change it." I am here to 'witness' what is to come, to find the truth in it. ”

When the Queen Mother heard him, she sneered and said: "When the first emperor was in power, Shao Yong also said the same thing, and the first emperor's favorite thing to do was to predict the future with him. But as a result, nothing has changed, and in the eyes of the mourning family, it is only a matter of increasing trouble, and even the first emperor realized the irreversibility of the situation at the last moment, and ordered the expulsion of your father and his disciples, and even the extermination of them later, which really can't stop your comeback. Now that the national crisis is at hand, if the prophet is really useful, it will be your turn to be the emperor. ”

Shao Bowen smiled: "Queen Mother, do you really think that these 'superficial' things you see are real?"

The Queen Mother bowed her head and said, "How do you say this?"

Shao Bowen smiled slightly and said, "But what if the emperor already knew that his own fate was like this?"

The Queen Mother said: "How do you say this?"

Shao Bowen's eyes were firm, and he said: "The reason why the first emperor wanted to kill Shao Yong was not because he 'said unlucky things and was unwilling to take them back'. The former emperor loved this Lord Liu beside me very much during his lifetime. Loyal to the ear, Lord Liu said so many unpleasant things, but he still stands, only when it comes to the part of the Huayang Sect, he was forced to go to prison, isn't it? Therefore, the reason why the emperor wanted to kill him was because he was afraid that he would tell the truth. ”

These words are like a slap on the head, knocking on the heart and resonating with deafeningness. Liu Anshi choked violently and looked at Shao Bowen.

Shao Bowen's expression was calm and composed. Calm enough to make him scared.

The Queen Mother was shocked in her heart, and tried her best to control it on the surface, she frowned slightly, but there was a panicked look in her eyes, and said: "Do you mean that the emperor suffered from a sudden illness back then, and it was not intentional by outsiders, but his own 'choice'?"

Shao Bowen said with a smile: "This is said by the Queen Mother herself, can it be regarded as me spreading rumors." ”

"How could it be...... How could the former emperor think like this?" the Empress Dowager stood up and repeated incredulously, "How could it be possible to make your own 'choice', the former emperor could not do such a thing......! If the emperor also understands this idea, then, then ......"

"The first emperor thought so, and the emperor may understand. Shao Bowen said, "If the 'heart dies' and happens before the 'body dies', and the 'contract' is signed with the evil thing on its own, then some things may be very difficult to undo." ”

"Understood. The Queen Mother said quietly, "You get up." Liu Anshi, you also get up. ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother. Shao Bowen got up as he spoke, and by the way, he pulled up Liu Anshi, who couldn't kneel for a long time. He stood in front of the Queen Mother, and the night wind gently brushed his face. He smiled softly, his eyes deep, as if hiding the clouds and mist of the Milky Way in the night sky.

"The mourners need the help of both of you to deal with what may happen next. The mourning family needs a direction...... "The Queen Mother closed her eyes and paused for a moment, and said, "Then Shao Bowen, what should I do next?"

"Please forgive me for what I am going to say next. I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will think it's a big rebellion. ”

The Queen Mother said: "It's just talking, and the mourning family will not pursue it." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother. Shao Bowen said slowly, "Please be careful about the people around you, crises are often due to negligence, or due trust." The next road is dark and chaotic, and I can't see it clearly with my ability, but I'm afraid that even heaven can't choose something, and the result is unknown, but it will definitely happen. Because I came here this time, there is another reason that should not be easily spoken. I am here to witness the 'coronation of the king' on behalf of my father. ”

The Queen Mother opened her mouth slightly, sighed again, and said, "Is it really irretrievable?"

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother. A lady hurriedly came to report, broke the stagnant atmosphere, and said, "Father-in-law Tong is back, and he brought a person-"

When Liu Anshi heard this, he said to Shao Bowen: "In this case, the two of us will retreat and wait first." ”

"It doesn't matter. You're not an outsider, and he's not. The Queen Mother said, "Tong Guan doesn't have to wait, just come in directly." ”

"Yes. After the lady retreated, she went out to call someone, and she didn't wait long to hear an angry shout from Zhang Dian: "Ah, I arrived first, why let him go in first?" The lady said: "This is the order of the Queen Mother, you just wait here, maybe the Queen Mother doesn't want to see you at all!" Zhang Dian said: "The Queen Mother doesn't want to see it, but you have to see it, and I have to solve this matter today!"

Shao Bowen sighed slightly, and said softly: "Is this Prime Minister Zhang? ”

When Tong Guan walked in, Lin Long was like a helpless bird, bowing his head and following him, until he walked to the Queen Mother before he raised his head, his face was already so nervous that he turned pale, and his words were not good, and it was with long-term psychological construction that he reluctantly said: "See the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother tilted her head to look at the thin and pale girl, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said softly: "This is ......"

Tong Guan introduced: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, this is the famous doctor of Bianjing City, the daughter of Lin Jingjing. By the way, what's your name?"

The Queen Mother raised her chin slightly and asked, "What, are you going to invite Lin Jingzhen to see the emperor for medical treatment?" Lin Jingzhen didn't invite her, but brought this yellow-haired girl, what does this mean. ”

"Empress Dowager Qi," Tong Guan said, "The slave was ordered by the Empress Dowager to go to find out about the current situation of King Duan, and when he found him at Lin Jingzhen's residence, Lin Jingzhen was already dead, and the slave saw it with his own eyes." According to His Royal Highness Duan Wang, it was the hands of the people of the Huayang Sect. ”

"I see, it's a pity. This Lin was stunned, and the mourning family knew it. ”

The Queen Mother recalled the past years, she was a little unhappy in her heart, and glanced at Lin Long again, such a beautiful and lovely girl made her more angry, and at the same time she was suspicious, and asked, "Do you know why you came to the palace?"

When Lin Long heard that it was the Queen Mother who asked her, she was so frightened that her brain was spinning at the same time, and the next moment her reaction was no longer from her own instinct.

Lin Long lowered his head and said timidly: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, because I can solve the Gu, so Gonggong Tong brought me over." That's all I know. ”

The Queen Mother paused, and then asked, "Why do you want to solve the Gu, do you know?"

——When Tong Guan, Liu Anshi and Shao Bowen stared at her together, Lin Long knew very well that the Queen Mother's words were full of traps. If it is said that his father told him the history before the emperor was in Gu, it was through her mouth to verify his father's infidelity to keep secrets. So Lin Long understood that he couldn't tell the truth.

"I know......" Yu Guang caught a glimpse of several adults with tense expressions, Lin Long had a rare pleasure in controlling other people's emotions, she changed her words again, and said, "When I was very young, my father taught me the art of solving Gu, saying that this is a secret technique that he can establish his reputation, and told me to learn it, otherwise this skill will be lost." Alas, I didn't expect my father to really encounter an accident, and I was the only one left who could solve the Gu. But, but I'm very good, please rest assured. ”

Looking at Lin Long's simple and firm gaze, the Queen Mother's suspicions dissipated and turned into a slight regret. A faint smile appeared on her face, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Little girl, in fact, many years ago, your father came to the palace and treated the Liu family who was tricked, that is, you think it is Queen Liu. The treatment was very successful, and the emperor was very happy, but because of the important secrets of the palace, there was no guarantee that he, a doctor who came from nowhere, would be able to keep such rules. Therefore, the mourning family wanted to execute him, but the emperor preemptively ordered that no one should hurt him, and also asked him to promise to keep his mouth shut, and then let him go. ...... In this way, he is indeed trustworthy. ”

Lin Long bowed his head and said, "Thank you Queen Mother." My father was a covenant keeper. The promises he made to his patients would be fulfilled. He doesn't lie. ”

The Queen Mother smiled a little meanly: "It's not heavy, the mourning family has always felt that he was lucky and saved people by mistake." However, the ability to solve Gu is really rare, especially in Bianjing City, it is rare, he can understand it, and he is really powerful. It's just that your generation is a girl, and it's really a pity. ”

Lin Long said with a smile: "I think that the important thing about 'inheritance' is not the result, but the process, the feeling of letting go with peace of mind." I think when my dad died, I was probably glad he taught me how to solve Gu. Because I am the person he loves in the world, the only one and only him. ”

Tong Guan never expected that this little girl would say such words against the Queen Mother, the death row prisoner didn't dare to speak like this, he couldn't stop it, and his hands and feet were cold with fright. The situation of Liu Anshi and Shao Bowen was completely different, they nodded with approval in their eyes.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother listened to Lin Long's words, but laughed and said, "You have a point, Wang Liefeng also said this to the mourning family." The mourning family was a little angry when they heard it for the first time, but after hearing it twice in a row, they were actually a little convinced. The most important thing is to be alive and feel happy and happy. Okay, without further ado, let's go and save the emperor. Remember, be sure to save him. ”

Lin Long was startled when he heard this, and raised his head slightly, but he didn't dare to look directly at the Queen Mother's gaze.

Tong Guan came over and pulled her up, and whispered in her ear: "Do you understand what the Queen Mother meant? If you can't save the emperor, your little life will have to be taken." ”

“...... I know. Lin Long said expressionlessly, "If you allow it, I can start now." ”

"Go ahead. The Queen Mother quietly watched the servant with Lin Long, her back disappeared at the end of her sight, and said to Tong Guan, "This girl's eyes reminded the mourning family of the eyes when Lin Jingzhen first came to Bianjing many years ago when he treated Wang Shunchen. ”

Tong Guan said: "It's indeed very similar, with the charm of Lin Jingyi." It's a pity that ...... "In fact, he is a little unbearable, the emperor's situation is critical, and no one has been able to control the decay of his body so far, although he is a descendant of Lin Jingzhen, but it seems that there is little hope." In this case, Lin Jingzhen will really have no descendants.

"It's a pity, Lin Jingzhen actually died. The Queen Mother sighed: "Died in front of King Duan, and let you see it with your own eyes, will all this be too coincidental? ”

"Ah, the minions think so too. Tong Guan reacted and said busily, "Although it is unlikely that His Royal Highness Duan will do it, this scene seems to be deliberately for the slave to see; ”

The Queen Mother sneered: "Of course! Ji'er is so smart, how can he let you know where he is hiding?"

Tong Guan hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The Queen Mother is right, the slave will definitely be more cautious next time." ”

"That's it. The Queen Mother said, "It seems that you have been known to be followed, so this tracking has actually become meaningless." Come on, let's let King Duan do his own thing, you don't interfere, just rest assured that Cai Jing's people will go. ”

Tong Guan was stunned, hurriedly knelt down, and asked in a trembling voice, "The Queen Mother knows?"

"The mourning family doesn't know anything. The mourning family has never missed a hand after watching people for so many years, and whoever makes small moves under the nose of the mourning family is clear to the mourning family. The Queen Mother said, "It's just too lazy to care...... But it just so happens that the matter is serious enough that the mourning family has no time to take care of your business, so let it go......"

Before the words fell, a huge voice sounded at the door, it was Zhang Dan's irritable roar: "Let me in!" He pushed away the servant and said even louder, "Queen Mother, Zhang Dian asks to see! Queen Mother, Zhang Dian asks to see!"
