The imperial meal was quickly delivered.

As usual, in a short time, a table full of meals was already on the table.

But this time, Ah Zi didn't have any appetite at all.

The queen only thought that Ah Zi was leaving, and she still had a trace of attachment to this Sacred Heart Palace, so she didn't know how to eat, and thoughtfully tried to find various topics on the side, trying to resolve this embarrassing silence.

But the Empress Dowager's face gradually became gloomy.

If Ah Zi's sudden change in face just now can still be prevaricated with not having a good rest and not having breakfast, then now everyone is sitting around to eat, resting and resting, and eating, but Ah Zi still looks like he is detached, it doesn't make sense.

Thinking back to those words just now, the Empress Dowager soon realized that it was her description of Hongyan that touched Ah Zi's emotions - did she notice something?

And Ah Zi, who was sitting on the side, complained to himself in his heart: This is very likely to be the last day of his stay in this Sacred Heart Palace, and he originally wanted to resign and let the Empress Dowager and Queen Mother not worry about themselves, but now the ancestor has told those things about Hongyan according to his wishes, but he wants to spoil the scenery like this, so that everyone in this palace is worried about some of his unprovoked emotions?

Ah Zi quietly clasped her hands, tried to adjust her breath, and smiled at the queen who had been shushing on the side.

Seeing that Ah Zi's expression was finally better, Empress Shen breathed a sigh of relief, thought of something again, and said with a smile: "You can eat with peace of mind, I'll come when I go." ”

After that, he turned around and winked at the Empress Dowager, who nodded knowingly. motioned for Aunt Chang to leave with the queen.

In addition to the few little palace maids who served the meal, there were only the Queen Mother and Ah Zi left for a while, and Ah Zi tried to tell the Queen Mother some interesting things on weekdays as usual.

The Empress Dowager was still listening patiently, with an unchanged smile on her face, but at some point, the smile gradually faded, until finally a deep voice interrupted Ah Zi's words.

"Girl, do you know anything about red words?"

This was originally a question blocked in my chest, but I didn't expect that I didn't have the courage to ask it. The Empress Dowager helped herself to speak. Hearing this, Ah Zi's eyes widened. looked at the Empress Dowager and was speechless for a long time.

She didn't know how to speak.

After all, everything was just her guess.

The portrait on the wall of Master, the aunt in Master's mouth, and the melodious sound of Master's piano......

"Since you're here to leave, you should understand. If you don't ask all the questions in your mind at this moment. I'm afraid it's hard to have such an opportunity in the future. The Empress Dowager persuaded and encouraged again, "Your heart is knotted." I can't promise that I can help you solve it, but at least I can solve it for you as a person who has come over. ”

Ah Zi's eyes were a little hot, and he shouted "Old Ancestor" in a trembling voice, his eyes met the Empress Dowager, and a question suddenly emerged from his mind.

"Does the ancestor know if this partner who has played with you since childhood is related to me?"

When the question came out, and seeing the Empress Dowager's slightly surprised gaze, Ah Zi couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly and lowered her head.

The Empress Dowager and herself are not related to each other, and even before Zuo Qiyang took her into the palace, the two had no intersection at all, why did she think that the Empress Dowager would know about her relationship with this red word at this time?

Just because Hongyan is a witch with himself?

But although the demon clan is extremely rare, it is not so much that all of them are connected with blood relatives.

Rao is a little close, the Empress Dowager and Hongyan are friendly, so she has a special good impression of the witch, so she is willing to be close to herself, which is also completely reasonable, how can she speculate like this because she has won the favor of her ancestors.

Ah Zi blushed and stepped back from the chair, curtsied towards the Empress Dowager, and apologized: "It's the girl who said the wrong thing, and I hope the ancestor will forgive her sins." ”

The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand to help Ah Zi up, and said calmly: "I don't dare to say whether you have anything to do with Hongyan, but there is another woman, as long as she has seen her and your appearance, she will definitely not doubt your flesh and blood relationship." ”

As she spoke, the Empress Dowager stroked the corners of Ah Zi's eyes and eyebrows who were kneeling in front of her, and her eyes were full of softness: "You are exactly the same as her peach blossom eyes, how many times I have looked at your appearance and every move, I almost suspect that the child has come to me again."

"Her name is Su Xin, before Hongyan's accident, she once brought her to my house when she was a child, when she was still in infancy, Hongyan told me proudly that it was her sister's child.

"At that time, I just thought that the child's big eyes were very painful, but within a few days, Hongyan told me that she and her sister were not compatible, and the child was taken back, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to get together again.

I tried to comfort Hongyan, thinking that I and this child were also destined for this.

"I never expected that many years later, when I married Xiyou, I met Su Xin again in this Xijing, and she had already become a big girl at that time, but her purple pupils had not changed in the slightest."

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager's eyes fell on Ah Zi's face again, and she said with a smile: "Su Xin at that time and you now are like carved out of a mold." ”

Listening to the Empress Dowager's words, Ah Zi was so shocked that she held her breath, and only after a while asked in a hoarse voice: "That Su Xin, where did you go later?" ”

The Empress Dowager sighed and shook her head: "If it is said that Hongyan is friends with human beings, and in the end can only end miserably, then Su Xin can only be said to be worse than Hongyan - she is openly in love with a human man."

"I'm afraid that if the crime of falling in love with a different race is deducted, even the witch clan will no longer tolerate her.

"I don't know what kind of life she lived with her lover in Tibet, but I only know that the last time I heard a story about her was the 'palace gate incident' outside the Dongyuan Forbidden Palace."

"Gongmen Incident......" Ah Zi repeated this unfamiliar word, trying to search for relevant memories in his mind, but found nothing.

"It's normal that you don't know, I'm afraid that few people in the world know about this matter." The Empress Dowager said, "Even I only heard a few words by relying on some remaining eyeliner in the Dongyuan Forbidden Palace. ”

"That incident...... What's going on? ”

Faced with Ah Zi's question, the Empress Dowager could only shake her head: "I only know that after that incident, the entire Dongyuan royal family's search for witches has been unprecedentedly strengthened, and Su Xin has never appeared again." (To be continued.) )
