"Prince Xie Lu, Prince Xie, it's just that the old man is getting older, and he feels that there is a sense of intimacy in this capital, and he doesn't want to go back to his hometown anymore, so let's be here." Granny Su smiled and said, "Here are all the memories of my youth, at that time, although the rules in the palace were very strict, I met a good master and did not suffer a little. ”

With that, she sighed and slowly got up.

An Tanran took a sip of tea, it was already cold, and it was time to go back to the palace.

After returning to the East Palace, Dongfang Jin was considering whether to tell his father about it.

An Tanran sat there and hesitated, if this matter is clear, then it is King Shou's country that has been taken away by Emperor Yunqi, which is a short momentum.

Or, the Queen Mother didn't know about Lu Dao, but because of whom?

Or is it none of her at all?

Although the latter is less likely, it is still possible.

After all, Granny Su is just one person's words.

Dongfang Jin decided to ask to see the Queen Mother with An.

The Queen Mother saw them, but the whole person was lying on the bed, and just turned her head to look at them: "The body of the mourning family is like this, and there is no need to worry about it for three days." ”

Dongfang Jin sat down: "Imperial grandmother, you might as well let you see your body, she has learned a little something, and she may have different ideas from the imperial doctor." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head: "No need, I know my own illness, but I'm old......"

An Tanran put down the food box in his hand again: "Imperial grandmother, this is the Fuling cake I made for you, to clear heat and dehumidify, in such a season, just take it." ”

"You have a heart." The Queen Mother smiled, "In the end, it is my grandson, granddaughter-in-law, who has this imperial grandmother in my heart." ”

"Well, by the way, the imperial grandmother, my grandson saw an old woman in the capital two days ago, and when I asked, I learned that Lu Dao was the palace maid who was on duty in the palace more than forty years ago, and she told her grandson some news, but her grandson didn't believe it."

"What?" The Queen Mother's expression was obviously tight, but her voice was a little pretended relaxed.

An Tanran's heart tightened, she didn't expect that Dongfang Jin didn't discuss with her and asked the Queen Mother directly, how could she admit it?

Isn't this a scareless snake?

Yes, striking the grass and startling the snake, is this the purpose of Dongfang Jin?

It's just that Granny Su said this, and her words alone are not enough evidence, so he needs the other party to take action? Showing your feet in action?

Thinking of this, An Qian smiled, this guy is really cunning.

But I heard Dongfang Jin continue: "Her surname is Su, and she originally served Concubine Xie, she said......"

At this point stopped.

The Queen Mother stood up, Mama Rong immediately took the embroidered brocade pillow and stuffed it behind her back, she got up probably because she was too anxious, coughed a few times, Mama Rong reached out and beat her back, she gently pushed away: "Jin'er, what did she say?" ”

"She said that when she was in the palace, the concubine treated her very well, so this time she entered Beijing because she wanted to ......revisit her hometown in her lifetime."

"She found you?"

"Yes, the grandson is still strange, but because of the hurry to meet, I didn't arrange for her to enter the palace immediately, I just want to ask my grandmother, do we have such an ancestral system? Can the slaves and maids who are released from the outside still be allowed to enter the palace again? Dongfang Jin's face was humble.

An Tanran secretly pinched the sweat next to her, will the Queen Mother be fooled?

And how is he going to arrange it?

However, looking at his tranquil expression, her heart suddenly calmed down, and she realized that he was sitting there, beautiful and calm, like a statue, which made people admire.

He also said that he was there.

Yes, with him, what do you have to worry about?

When the Queen Mother heard the news, she immediately thought deeply: "It stands to reason that there is no such ancestral system, but this slave and maid found you?" ”

"yes."

"Did she say she wanted to see someone?" After the Queen Mother asked, one hand gently turned the Buddha beads on the other wrist, and she was obviously thinking about something.

Dongfang Jin shook his head: "I probably want to see the old man in the palace more than forty years ago, but in terms of age, I'm afraid that only Mama Rong is still an old man, and the other grandchildren don't know what to do, but when it comes to the past, the grandson also wants to hear from his grandmother about the things of the year." ”

"Back then? What is there to talk about back then, it's just that I was young at that time, and now that everyone is old, your grandmother and I have become old women, and when I think about it like this, it's even more sad. ”

Dongfang Jin smiled: "My father and Uncle Shouhuang were born on the same day, forty-five years ago, that day must have been the most festive day in the palace!" ”

The Queen Mother's face stiffened, and she also smiled: "Of course." ”

"The imperial grandmother looks a little tired, and the grandson will not bother, but this matter is reported to the imperial grandmother, so that the imperial grandmother can be happy, if the imperial grandmother wants to see her, the grandson can arrange it." Dongfang Jin stood up as he spoke, reached out and pulled the folds on the hem, and the small wrinkles immediately smoothed out.

The Queen Mother's eyes were attracted by his movements, and she spoke after a while: "Now the mourning family looks like this, I don't want to see the old man, I am afraid that it will increase my sadness, not to mention, she is the slave of Concubine Xie, I have no impression at all, you go down, the pastry is brought to the mourning family, and the mourning family wants to taste it." ”

An Qianran and the two of them went out, and An Qianran whispered: "Your trick is so dangerous, but you sent someone to protect Granny Su?" ”

Dongfang Jin nodded: "However, it's me who is worried now, she will definitely send someone to follow me." ”

An Qian thought about it, it was indeed true, otherwise how could she find Granny Su for nothing.

"But won't the Queen Mother doubt you?"

"She doubted that no one would be left to her detriment."

"Actually, she can leave it alone." An Qian thought for a moment, "If she doesn't move, we really can't do anything." ”

"Yes, let's find the palace maid around the Queen Mother before and after I was born."

"This ...... It's hard. ”

"There's me." Dongfang Jin still said that, which made An Ting's heart move.

She liked the way he looked so determined.

It seems that there are thousands of ravines in the chest, ruling the world.

"Besides, the Queen Mother is not clever, she may not be able to see that this is a plan, and the Queen Mother also has a shortcoming, that is, conceit, so it is possible that she knows that this is a plan, and she must also plan it!"

An nodded with a smile, indeed, the most unpredictable thing is the human heart, and no one dares to guarantee what everyone will do next.

*****

Following.

King Shou urgently entered the palace.

The Queen Mother fell on the bed and was panting, and the imperial doctors were busy on the ground, and when they saw him come in, the Queen Mother drove all the imperial doctors out of the room.

King Shou said anxiously: "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you, you were fine a few days ago." ”

"Aren't you angry with the father and son? Do you know the truth? What did the prince say in front of me yesterday? He mentioned the slut of Concubine Xie and said that there was an old palace maid who wanted to see the old man, did he think I couldn't hear it? He just came to test me, to see if I was weak-hearted, what kind of heart did I have, it was that slut who played tricks back then, and actually transferred you and the emperor to the contract, and caused my son's country to be handed over to others......" The queen mother said this, coughing and crying, King Shou hurriedly stepped forward to beat her back: "Queen Mother, in fact, after so many years, the emperor is also very good, and Run'er has no intention at all, you are comfortable to be your queen mother, is it not good for me to be filial to you with the emperor?" ”

"Okay? What's good, you are an unfilial son, you are my son, you should be the emperor, how can the bloodline of the cheap maid compare with my bloodline? I have raised her son for so many years in vain, our mother and son are so thankful, it's a pity, I didn't poison the prince back then, and I haven't poisoned him now, but it makes him suspect me, tell you, King Shou, if you don't let out this evil breath for the queen mother, the queen mother won't be able to close her eyes when she dies...... Also, regardless of whether the old palace maid the prince said exists or not...... Ahem, you're going to kill her, she's dead...... No, you should take her over, with her, we can expose the events of the year to the public, and let people know that the emperor is not right, but you must also be prepared at that time, you have to let the important ministers stand on your side, otherwise it is useless, the winner is the king and the loser is the thief, it has been like this since ancient times...... Tell me, you've been pretty much ready for so many years, aren't you? ”

The Queen Mother grabbed King Shou's hand and held it tightly.

King Shou looked helpless, and when he saw the queen mother's mental state, he nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, queen mother, you have a good rest first, don't get excited, take your time in this matter, don't be in a hurry." ”

"And you agreed?"

"Okay, I promised." King Shou said helplessly.

The Queen Mother was relieved when she heard this, sat there, and slowly spoke again: "Dongfang Jin, you have to keep up with him, he doesn't think he got any evidence, if he knows that Lu Dao and we use this matter in turn, then he will definitely regret it, I really want to see what kind of expression his self-righteous appearance has become dumbfounded, hum, like Xie Slut, wilted and wilted, if it weren't for God's eyes, I don't know when Lu Dao will recognize you, and I have cultivated that person's son to become the emperor in vain...... By the way, I found a teacher for Run'er, he will teach him everything he should know to become an emperor, and tomorrow, I will let him go to you. ”

"This ......"

"Don't use Run'er to prevaricate me, you are his father, can't you take this idea? He's a kid, he knows what. ”

"Understood."

"Then you go down, and I'll rest for a while." The Queen Mother closed her eyes tiredly, and her voice was much weaker, "If I don't see you take the country back in my lifetime, I won't be blind......"

After King Shou left.

The Queen Mother's thoughts drifted back to seventeen years ago.

At that time, the emperor had just married Empress Yun, and their husband and wife were so good that she remembered the emperor's love for her back then, and her heart was sour, but she was also very satisfied with Emperor Yunqi, after all, he was the son of the emperor and had a good inheritance of his father.

At that time, she still remembers telling them about it.
