At the end of May, the plums are just ripe.

The southeast monsoon is like smelling the fragrance of plums, and it has come to Yingtian thousands of miles away.

Ying Tian turned away this thief who grabbed food, and did his best to lay a dense rain curtain to resist stubbornly.

It's been more than three years, and I've set foot on this familiar land again, and Redstone has mixed feelings.

The change in his appearance did not diminish any of his memories, and the familiar figures of parents, teachers, and friends jumped out of the corners of memory and stood in front of him.

Xu Miaojin squeezed out a smile at him: "It's raining too much, let's go have a cup of tea and eat something." ”

Redstone lowered his eyes, hurriedly hiding his stunned expression.

Why is he so unproductive? He wrote a thick booklet of plans, and before he had turned a page, he was ready to cry?

He pinched his thigh and raised his head: "Okay, Miaojin, I've tired you along the way!" ”

Coming out of the teahouse, the rain still didn't stop.

Redstone bumps into some acquaintances on the way, but no one recognizes him.

He turned his heart into an iron ball, and to Gu Hongshi, they were all strangers.

Turn around Zhongzheng Street, and it is the Li Mansion.

Redstone's hard-hearted heart met the furnace of Taishang Laojun, and his heart was like a wild horse on the loose, trying to disguise himself and disappear leisurely.

Hongshi gradually slowed down, and Xu Miaojin silently followed behind him.

No matter how slow he walks, he will eventually see a scene that makes his heart piercing.

Impenetrable dust and cobwebs crawled all over the otherwise ornate red-painted gates, and even the rain could do nothing against them.

The rusty brass ring is a lonely reminder of the glory of the past. A few lumps of sludge were stuffed in the mouths and eyes of the dejected stone lions, still waiting for their master's return.

Redstone walked up the overgrown steps, reached out, and slowly approached the gate.

The brass ring waited for him in surprise, his arm hanging limply.

He turned abruptly and walked away, without looking back.

What's the point of going in? Things are not people, which only increases sadness.

Weakness, sorrow, pain, and memories are all his enemies.

One day, the day when he will take revenge, he will come here again to listen to his father's teachings and his mother's admonitions, to relive the wanton joy and innocent frolic.

At that time, he could cry freely, laugh maniacally, and celebrate the final victory with the spirits of the Li family.

"Miaojin, I'll go to the palace, you go home and rest." Redstone smashes all the messy thoughts into dark corners.

For some time to come, perhaps for a long time, he would not allow them to come out and disrupt his plans.

"Into the palace? I'll go too! Xu Miaojin patted the dust on his body and said.

"You...... Don't you go, do you? Hongshi looked at Xu Miaojin's sunken eyes and messy hair, and said pityingly.

"What? You think I'm looking at you! Xu Miaojin turned his head, "Then let's go our separate ways, I'll go into the palace to find my brother-in-law!" ”

"That's not what I meant, you go back and rest, I'm so tired these days."

"It's fine. You're not tired, and I'm not tired. ”

"Okay." Redstone pinched a strand of Xu Miaojin's hair behind her ear.

Xu Miaojin hurriedly lowered his head to arrange his hair, and said hesitantly: "It's raining and winding on the other side, and it doesn't stop at all!" ”

"Hehe, haven't you heard of the wind and rain?"

Xu Miaojin glared at Hongshi coquettishly, and chanted: "'The wind and rain come from the north, all the trees are angry, and the night does not stop, and the sound is chaotic. (1) Have you heard of it? ”

"'Lord Poetry', I identify this as Lu You's work."

"Hahaha!"

A quarter of an hour later, they came to the Fengtai Gate to the south of the imperial city.

"When did this become a royal palace? I've fought crickets here before. Hongshi tilted his head and looked at the three magnificent characters of "Fengtai Gate".

"An imperial city was built outside Miyagi, and it was recently completed." Xu Miaojin said.

"Well, I also heard about it in Beiping, and I saw it with my own eyes, and I was full of emotion."

Redstone walked over to the guard, pulled out a Twin Cloud Dragon card, and handed it to the guard.

The Twin Cloud Dragon is the token worn by the highest-ranking warriors, and is made entirely of gold.

The top of the token is carved with a double dragon, and the bottom is carved with a double tiger, and the mighty spirit is unstoppable.

The vigorous golden dragon chiseled open the guard's eyes, he didn't dare to look down carefully, and quickly returned the Shuangyun Dragon card to the red stone, and said respectfully: "May I ask if the general is the ancient general?" ”

"Well, exactly!" Redstone looked at the guard suspiciously.

"This is a letter sent by His Royal Highness King Yan to send a messenger to let the villain hand it over to General Gu." The guard handed over a letter.

Redstone took it and took it apart. The content of the letter was very brief, and Zhu Di asked Hongshi to wait for him at Taimiao on May 22.

Taimiao? Why go to Taimiao? Taimiao is a place where the royal family worships their ancestors, if Zhu Di has something to discuss with him, how can he be in such a sacred and deaf place?

Hongshi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhu Di's gourd.

At the same time, he also remembered his biological mother. Will his mother also have a place in the Taimiao, and will he be able to meet his mother?

With this thought, he sneered and shook his head.

The queen of Dexian is qualified to enter the Taimiao, how can his mother have a place in the Taimiao, not to mention that she is still a concubine who was forced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Xu Miaojin saw Hongshi's strange expression, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Are you afraid to enter the Taimiao? ”

"Afraid? Those people have nothing to do with me. I think that only those who exterminate humanity will be afraid to face their ancestors! Redstone insinuated.

"Shhhh When you enter the Imperial City, there are thousands of ears around you, worry! Xu Miaojin said.

The front hall of the temple is solemn and solemn, and it is the place where the sacrificial ceremony is held.

It is like an old man who has vicissitudes of life, silently watching the changes of the years, and like a stern teacher, ruthlessly refuting arrogance and tyranny.

No one who is invincible is afraid of the scrutiny of his ancestors, and no one who kills people like hemp does not dare to act rashly here.

Insidious tricks do not appear in the most hidden corners of the temple, and cunning tricks do not appear in the quietest darkness.

After the front hall of the temple is the dormitory, which is dedicated to the god of Tibet.

The emperor's great-grandfather, the emperor's examination, the emperor's high-ancestor, and the emperor's ancestor are arranged in order from east to west. The emperor's ancestor is in the middle and is the oldest ancestor here.

The faint aroma of agarwood hovers leisurely in the hall like a graceful piano music, and they laugh at the immobile arch and show off their unfetteredness.

They never knew that as long as they flew a little higher and broke through the roof of the yellow glazed tile, they would be able to gain boundless freedom.

A low, rapid sobbing sound came from the west side of the dormitory, and a fifteen-year-old boy knelt in front of Queen Ma's tablet.

He kept his head down, his hands on the ground, his chest rising and falling.

Xu Miaojin and Hongshi glanced at each other, as if asking if the other party knew who the young man in front of them was.

They shook their heads at the same time, and then left the dormitory lightly.

"Miaojin, you wait for Your Highness at the door, I'll go in and have a look." Redstone wants to bow to Queen Ma and say a few words to Queen Ma.

He stood far behind the boy, not daring to come forward to disturb him.

The young man spoke poignantly about missing Queen Ma, and every word flowed slowly on the red stone like a warm current.

He couldn't help himself burst into tears.

The kind-hearted Queen Ma gives life to Redstone, and she watches Redstone grow from afar and watch him happy. Every time Queen Ma looked at him, her eyes were so like her mother, and every word of advice was so gentle.

Before she died, Queen Ma was still thinking about him and did her best to protect him.

"Imperial grandmother, Wei'er doesn't know what to do," the young man choked up, "Wei'er begged the imperial grandfather, and the mother concubine still has to be martyred." The imperial grandmother taught the grandmother how to save her mother. Bing'er has no father, and Wei'er doesn't want to have no more mother! ”

It turned out that this young man was Zhu Yunwen, the eldest son of the crown prince Zhu Biao.

The crown princess is going to be buried? This hateful Zhu Yuanzhang!

Redstone couldn't help but clench his fist.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed my mother, and he also wants to kill Zhu Yunwen's mother! The life of a woman in this palace can't even compare to a straw!

A sympathy of sympathy jumped out of his heart, and he wanted to step forward to comfort the child who was about to lose both parents.

"'Good knows its evil, evil knows its beauty', when I was a child, an elder brother said this to me when I was in trouble."

Redstone was taken aback, remembering the kid he had met in Yaoyue Palace ten years ago.

At that time, the sparrow ate the popcorn that Zhu Yunwen wanted to give to Concubine Shu, and he searched his stomach and came up with a sentence that his father once said to comfort Zhu Yunwen, but he didn't expect him to keep it in his heart.

Bing'er often uses this sentence to calm herself. But this time, what does Bing'er think of the imperial grandfather? Wei'er can't see a little beauty, why did the imperial grandfather have to take the life of his mother? ”

Zhu Yunwen's voice was hoarse, and he gently hammered the ground with his fist, and his weak body seemed to have undergone unbearable torture.

"Your Highness," Hongshi planned to come to the rescue, not only for their sympathy, but also for the sake of Zhu Yuanzhang, who regarded human life as a mustard.

"Chen Gu Hongshi has something to say."

Zhu Yunwen suddenly suppressed his crying, and the aftersound swirled in his nasal cavity and rushed back to his throat.

He choked and choked a few times.

Hongshi hurriedly stepped forward and knelt beside him, dared to stretch out his hand, and patted him lightly on the back: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter, right?" ”

Zhu Yunwen shook his head, wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, and stared at Hongshi innocently: "Are you?" ”

"The minister is a person from the Yan Palace, and the minister is also the one His Royal Highness met in the Yaoyue Palace...... That brother. ”

Zhu Yunwen stared at his tear-dried, speechless.

"The minister is willing to do his best to help His Royal Highness rescue the crown princess."

Redstone knew that this was not a place to catch up with old love, so he went straight to the point: "If Your Highness is willing to believe the minister, the minister is willing to explain it to Your Highness in detail tonight." ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded blankly, whether he believed it or not, he felt that he had to nod.

Redstone hurried away. Zhu Yunwen bowed to Queen Ma's tablet again and again.

Queen Ma's spirit in the sky blessed him after all, and he saw a glimmer of hope.
