Chapter 111: Pain
Gently wiping away the moisture from the corners of her eyes, Empress Dowager Zhou put one hand on the hand of a grandmother beside her and walked towards the courtyard.
With every step, my heart can't help but tremble.
Ten years ago, when the Great Zhou Dynasty fell, she went to the Golden Buddha Temple to eat fasting and pray for five years, and then the news came that he was injured.
After coming out of the Golden Buddha Temple, she never saw him again.
Even if it's seen from afar.
She wanted to leave the palace, crazy thinking, but there was no way.
Everyone thought that Emperor Mingde treated her and Ji Huan well, but who knew that she just had this supreme title.
She was locked in this palace all year round, and she couldn't go anywhere.
Walking outside the side hall, the palace maid lifted the corner of her skirt for her, and she walked in.
Approaching silently.
Seeing that Mrs. Mu took out a silk handkerchief from her arms and gently wiped the corners of her mouth for him, Empress Dowager Zhou hid the loneliness on her face, walked up to Mrs. Mu, and said with a chuckle: "Xiangjun, you and I haven't seen each other for ten years. ”
Old Madam Mu was looking at Old Man Mu's face intently, and because the Empress Dowager Zhou was walking quietly, she didn't notice the approach of the Empress Dowager Zhou, so she hurriedly stood up, and then bowed and said: "The courtiers visit the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is blessed with Jin'an." ”
Empress Dowager Zhou took her hand and helped her up, saying, "What are you doing, why do you and I see each other like this?" Don't you haven't seen you for ten years, you forgot your cousin. ”
Old Madam Mu shook her head and said with a white face: "Queen Mother, the ceremony cannot be abolished." ”
As he spoke, his hand broke free from the shackles of Empress Dowager Zhou, and his body took a step back.
Mrs. Zhou froze, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that my cousin forgot that I am still your cousin, too." I haven't seen you for ten years, who remembers? ”
The biological mother of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the biological mother of Mrs. Mu Lao are a pair of twin sisters, the mother of the Empress Dowager Zhou married the Zhou Prime Minister of the previous dynasty, after the fall of the Great Zhou, the Zhou family was full of martyrdom, and the royal family of the Great Zhou. Only the Empress Dowager Zhou and Ji Huan were left.
Empress Dowager Zhou looked lonely and laughed at herself. His face became cold unconsciously.
However, Mrs. Mu's mother married a general, and then Mrs. Mu married Mrs. Mu. In the eyes of those years, the Empress Dowager Zhou's family was full of luxury. Today's Empress Dowager Zhou, even after the death of the country, the innate nobility has never disappeared.
But I haven't seen you for ten years, those proud edges and corners. But it was also ground down to only one or two.
Empress Dowager Zhou's gaze moved to Old Man Mu, and Old Man Mu trembled. His eyes widened so big that they almost fell off.
Breathing was also rapid.
Empress Dowager Zhou looked away without a trace.
However, Mrs. Mu sensed that something was wrong with Mrs. Mu, and walked quickly to him regardless of the weakness of her body. Gently patted him on the back.
He looked anxious.
"Queen Mother......" The meaning of Mrs. Mu was already obvious, from her deliberately unfamiliar movements at the beginning, and now her anxious look. is all hinting at the Empress Dowager Zhou, she wants to leave.
Empress Dowager Zhou's face suddenly turned cold. Then he walked towards the back room with his sleeves and said, "Come on, send off guests." ”
Old Man Mu helped Old Man Mu to leave.
Today is different from the past, and the Qiē between her Empress Dowager Zhou has passed.
Now if she deliberately interacts with the Empress Dowager Zhou again, if she is talked about by others, how can it be good.
Although Emperor Mingde still respects her as the queen mother and lets her enjoy the respect of the queen mother, but he imprisons her in this deep palace, this intention is not obvious?
It is nothing more than the fear that the power of the Later Zhou will make a comeback.
But why did Emperor Mingde allow people like Empress Dowager Zhou and King Huan to survive?
Shouldn't it be as fast as possible to kill the orphans of the previous dynasty?
No matter what Emperor Mingde had in mind, their Mu family should stay away from the Empress Dowager Zhou and King Huan.
After all, this trip to the muddy waters is not something that their Mu family can mix into.
When Shicai stopped at Fu'an Palace, the Empress Dowager Zhou was standing at the gate of the courtyard, and she almost didn't recognize the appearance of the Empress Dowager Zhou.
Her face is too different from ten years ago.
It's like twenty years old.
Old Madam Mu and Old Man Mu sat back in the sedan chair, she looked at Old Man Mu slightly sideways, and asked with concern, "Is the old man unwell?" ”
Old Lady Mu raised her head, paused and shook her head violently.
Old Madam Mu squinted, put her fingers on her knees, and tapped her kneecaps one by one.
The atmosphere just now was too weird, and why did Empress Dowager Zhou have nothing to do with letting her and Old Man Mu go.
After the Muhammads left, Gao stepped out from behind the screen, strode out the door, and poked his head out to look into the distance.
The expression was sad.
Seeing this, King Huan clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles made a clicking sound due to the force.
For as long as she could remember, he knew that there had always been a person living in the queen mother's heart, and that person was a powerful general in the government and the opposition.
The reason why that person became a first-class general was also because of the queen mother's pillow wind in his father's ears.
Later, that person ruined his world, destroyed his Great Zhou royal family, and made him suffer the pain of losing the country.
But the queen mother still misses him.
All these years, he has been by his mother's side.
The queen mother was depressed all day long, and her favorite thing was to draw casually.
He picked up crumpled pieces of rice paper......
It's the same person you see.
Burdened with the hatred of losing the country, she didn't feel a trace of the queen mother.
It turned out that he and his father were so in the heart of the queen mother......
Ji Huan yelled at the palace maid in the hall like crazy, and overturned the table with force, and the Empress Dowager Zhou suddenly came back to her senses, turned to Ji Huan and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"Mother, have you ever been worthy of your father, what kind of existence is your father in your heart? What did you do with him? What should you do with me? Father is the king of a country, and you were once the mother of a country. ”
Ji Huan's eyes were scarlet, waiting for the Empress Dowager Zhou fiercely, and roared angrily: "But what you did was to disgrace your father, and it is shameful for your father to die without turning a blind eye!" If it weren't for you, the entire Great Zhou would not have perished, Queen Mother, how can you let your son respect you as the Queen Mother again? ”
Empress Dowager Zhou was stunned, stunned in place, and did not react to Ji Huan's words for a while.
Ji Huan looked at the Empress Dowager Zhou sadly.
Empress Dowager Zhou bit her head, her eyes were red, and she said after a long time: "Huan'er, is the queen mother like this in your eyes?" ”
Ji Huan shook his head, laughed angrily, and said, "Then what else do you want, do you want me to act as ignorant?" Everything I've seen over the years is a dream, and every qiē is my imagination, but in fact, this qiē didn't happen, right? My son has sued himself more than once that this qiē is fake, and I would rather it be fake. ”
After finishing speaking, he brushed his sleeves and walked away.
Leaving the Empress Dowager Zhou alone in place.
Huan'er, if you knew the truth, would you hate your mother a little less? The queen mother is sorry for your father, but she has never been sorry for you. (To be continued) R655
