Chapter 271: Return to the Palace
The queen mother's side of the old lady supported her, and the two slowly walked out of the hall, the queen mother's body was too weak, and the two legs could not support the weight of the body, if it wasn't for the old mother's support, I was afraid that she would fall down immediately.
Situ Bozheng hurriedly greeted him, and his reaction was much faster than Situ Qingzheng.
Seeing the mother and son hugging each other, Situ looked away.
He turned around and left Suki Palace, leaving space for the mother and son, who had not seen each other for a long time.
As soon as the Queen Mother saw Situ Bozheng's tears dripping down, she couldn't stop it.
Situ Bozheng squatted next to the Queen Mother and put his head on the Queen Mother's lap as he did when he was a child.
Suddenly, Situ Bozheng shouted to the palace maids around him: "How can you serve the queen mother, don't hurry up and bring the blanket." β
The Queen Mother saw the wind just now, and her body was cold.
Bo Zheng cared about her so much, the Queen Mother was very heartbroken.
She touched Situ Bozheng's hair and said, "Bozheng, I've suffered you all these years." β
After many years at the border, Situ Bozheng has become strong and thin.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but complain a little about the emperor.
"Bo Zheng, do you hate your imperial brother?"
Situ Bozheng was stunned for a moment and immediately shook his head, "I don't resent or resent, I only blame myself for my bad luck." β
"Good boy, the queen mother feels sorry for you."
Not long after Situ Bozheng squatted, the Queen Mother asked people to set up a seat for him.
"How can people in their forties still look like children?" The Queen Mother laughed and scolded.
"In front of the queen mother, the sons will always be the little children who wiped their noses and cried for the queen mother."
Hearing Situ Bozheng's words, the Queen Mother's thoughts were also pulled back to that year.
The two of them showed a look of reminiscing about the past.
The two talked for a long time in the hall, until the Queen Mother showed fatigue, and Situ Bozheng said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, since the sons and daughters are back, they will not leave easily, and we will have time to talk in the future." β
The Queen Mother nodded, and asked people to clean up a set of yards for Situ Bozheng in her own Suxi Palace.
Situ Bozheng pretended to refuse, but the Queen Mother glared at him, and he pretended to agree.
"In that case, Bo Zheng will stay in the palace for one night, and later you can call someone to go to the imperial study to inform the imperial brother."
The Queen Mother nodded and let the big palace maid beside her go.
The Queen Mother was really tired, and she just closed her eyes and fell asleep as soon as she lay in bed.
The old grandmother sent Situ Bozheng out, she also watched him grow up, and the relationship with Situ Bozheng was very close, and she once also served as his nurse, "Mama, how is the queen mother's body?" β
Situ Bozheng asked with concern.
"It's all old and sick, I can't always lift my energy, and people are also groggy, the imperial doctor has already said that it's not a big deal, it's just that I'm thinking too much, His Royal Highness is back, and the Queen Mother will definitely not be sick again."
The old lady's words were full of relief, but Situ Bozheng didn't feel a little comfortable in his heart when he listened to it.
He couldn't help but complain to himself, why didn't he come back to see his mother for so many years.
Even if it was just a glance, he wouldn't miss it.
And just now he clearly saw that there were many wrinkles on the queen mother's face, and the hair on the sideburns was much whiter, and the spirit of the whole person was even more different from three years ago, the queen mother was old, this was a fact that Situ Bozheng had to admit.
Although in Situ Bozheng's heart, he didn't want to believe it.
"Your Highness, you're back this time, don't leave, the Queen Mother and her old man have been thinking about you."
How could Situ Bozheng not know that he had been away from home for many years, and the queen mother's heart should be the most heartbroken.
But what can he do?
In this sad place in the capital, he didn't want to come back.
"Mama, you take good care of your mother, I'll go first."
Situ Bozheng walked away from the Suxi Palace, and the old lady looked behind him, and the worry in her eyes spread little by little.
His Royal Highness seems to be wrong when he comes back this time, and he is very worried.
The old mother's eyelids suddenly jumped, her left eye jumped for wealth, and her right eye jumped for disaster.
The beating of the eyelids drove the old grandmother's heart to flutter with it, and nothing would happen.
The old lady hurriedly returned to the hall, looking at the sleeping face of the queen mother, with the hope of repaying her safety, the old lady really couldn't bear to break the queen mother's thoughts, so she endured it.
It was already late at the end of the banquet, and Situ Bozheng's figure appeared outside Fengyi Palace in the palace
I don't know if there is a spirit in my heart or a ghost in my heart, Queen Mu Wanshu is standing at the gate of the palace, and the eunuch guarding the door has been taken away by her.
It's quiet and bleak, and it doesn't look like the Queen's residence.
"You're finally here."
Mu Wanshu couldn't help but say, he looked at Situ Bozheng's face, and a trace of nostalgia flashed on his face.
The relationship when she was young was really beautiful, if it weren't for the misfortune, if it wasn't for her family persecution, if it weren't for Situ Bozheng's failure to ascend the throne, too many had to create today.
Mu Wanshu's expression, Situ Bozheng, saw it all in his eyes.
"What, you regret it?" Situ Bozheng's tone was sarcastic, and his words were also impulsive.
But Mu Wanshu didn't seem to hear it.
"How have you been all these years?"
"Freely, drinking wine and eating meat, what am I not satisfied with? Of course, women can also have whatever they want, fat, thin, showy, pure, as long as the king wants, the subordinates will naturally send the king's bed. β
Situ Bozheng's eyes became even colder, and there was no trace of temperature in his eyes.
"Bo Zheng, what do you mean by that?"
This angry remark did not make Mu Wanshu's heart fluctuate at all, but felt that Situ Bozheng was naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
"What, you're jealous?"
Situ Bozheng asked with a cold face.
"We're not children anymore, Bo Zheng, you should grow up." Mu Wanshu sighed and said.
"Growing up? Of course I'm going to grow up, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be far away. β
Situ Bozheng suddenly became angry, especially after hearing Mu Wanshu's words. β
"Bo Zheng, you shouldn't have come to quarrel with me, right?"
Mu Wanshu sighed again, with helplessness in her tone.
"Have you ever regretted what happened back then?"
Situ Bozheng asked.
"Regrets?" Mu Wanshu suddenly smiled, with helplessness and sadness in that smile, her eyes looked straight at the man in front of her, and the grief and sorrow in it were clearly transmitted to Situ Bozheng's heart.
Situ Bozheng was stunned, the feelings contained in those eyes were too complicated.
"After so many years, I still haven't figured out what you want, my brother is the emperor and has supreme authority, so you chose him?" Situ Bozheng smiled bitterly.
"I have no hope of sitting in that seat in my life, so you abandoned it, and I got along with my own brother?"
The successive questions made Mu Wanshu take two steps back in pain, and she covered her chest with a sad face.
"No, it's not like that."
Her quibble Situ Bozheng didn't believe it.
"Mu Wanshu, after so many years, you haven't changed at all."
Situ Bozheng's expression narrowed, and a cold chill appeared on his face again.
How could Situ Bozheng not know, he returned to the capital this time, Mu Wanshu also made a lot of efforts in this, he is not a fool, he is not so easy to fool, Mu Wanshu has evil intentions in his heart, he understands it very well, but he is too lazy to expose it.
Looking at the other party's sarcastic eyes, Mu Wanshu took two steps back, "Bo Zheng, what do you think of me, I haven't done anything sorry for you except for abandoning you back then." β
Mu Wanshu's words were burning, and Situ Bo suddenly smiled, and there seemed to be a hint of relief in that smile.
"Forget it, now I don't bother to find out what you think, why did you call me back?"
He asked bluntly.
"Bo Zheng, haven't you thought about me for so many years?"
Mu Wanshu played the emotional card.
Think, how could you not want to, Mu Wanshu is Situ Bozheng's first love, which is remembered by him in his heart, and he will never forget it, otherwise this time he would not obey the emperor's will and rush back from the border pass.
In addition to missing the Queen Mother, this woman is the deepest secret he hides in his heart.
originally had her in her heart, Mu Wanshu peeled off the wound in his heart again, and Situ Bozheng felt a pain in his heart.
"What the hell are you trying to do!" Situ Bo asked sharply.
"Bo Zheng, when I asked you to come back this time, I actually asked you for something, and I hope you can promise me."
Mu Wanshu's tone became even more sad.
Looking at his beloved woman like this, the coldness in Situ Bozheng's heart melted little by little.
"Anyway, what do you want me to do?"
It's a big deal to take this incident as a threshold for the two to break up, and from then on, they will be okay with each other.
Situ Bozheng clenched his fists and thought so.
At the banquet just now, he carefully looked at the woman in front of him, no, it was a woman, she had a lot of vicissitudes, and there were a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
In the past, her lips were red without lip grease, but now, the red lip grease covered them, it looked much more terrifying.
Especially the phoenix robe she was wearing, with golden embroidery threads, bright red base, and the phoenix hairpin on her head that soared for nine days.
Seeing Situ Bozheng's heart, there was a tingling in his heart.
This beautiful woman originally belonged to him, but was cut off by her own brother.
Situ Bozheng was unwilling. He resented him, was jealous of him, and he was angry, but at that time, the decree had been given, and he could not do anything about it.
Unable to return to heaven, he could only leave this sad place.
At that time, Mu Wanshu gave him the feeling of grace and luxury, but now that she has taken off her makeup and clothes, she is a lot haggard, her lips are light, her face is pale, and the robe on her body hangs lightly, as if she can be blown away by the wind in the next moment.
Mu Wanshu has not had a good time in the palace these years.
Hearing Situ Bozheng's answer, Mu Wanshu's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly said: "Bo Zheng, now the situation in Beijing is urgent, the eldest prince has failed to usurp the throne, and now he is still imprisoned in Dali Temple, the second prince and the third prince are desperately fighting for the throne, and I have no children under my knees, to one of the guises, the second half of my life will be extremely miserable." β
Today's Queen Mother is an excellent example, one son is the emperor, and the other son is the king of Zheng, who leans towards the government and the opposition.
The identity of the Queen Mother is extremely noble, and the Queen Mother's life is complete.
But what about her?
There are no children and no daughters under her knees, and the concubines and concubines have grown up a lot, but none of them are willing to have a heart to heart her.
Mu Wanshu was so anxious that she couldn't do it, Lang Zhong didn't know how much she saw, and the Chinese medicine was poured bowl by bowl, and the whole Fengyi Palace was full of bitter decoction, but her stomach just didn't move.
How many times after the rain with the emperor, she endured the shame and put the pillow under her waist, looking forward to such a child for decades, but God just didn't want to give it to her.
"The days are all chosen by yourself, and there is no regret medicine for you in this world."
Situ Bozheng suddenly said in a light tone.
"Yes, I chose it myself, and I can only swallow the bitter fruit by myself, but Bo Zheng, I still have you, you must help me."
Mu Wanshu suddenly turned around and walked towards the palace, and Situ Bozheng hesitated for a while before following in.
The Fengyi Hall was empty, and only the red candles lit a small cluster of bright yellow flames.
Situ Bozheng's eyes followed up with a frank look and no squinting, after Mu Wanshu sat on the phoenix chair, Situ Bozheng sat down nearby, and it seemed that a chair had been specially prepared for him and was waiting for him to come in.
He couldn't help but sneer, Mu Wanshu still knew herself so well, she had long expected that she would come.
But even if he understood, what was the use, and he couldn't stay with himself all the time to take care of himself.
A mocking smile hung on his lips again.
"Tell me, what do you need me to do for you?"
"I am now allied with the second prince Situ Huaibo, and I want you to help him ascend to the throne."
Mu Wanshu said word by word, staring at Situ Bozheng without blinking.
The man opposite frowned, the corners of his mouth tightened, and the muscles of his cheeks trembled slightly.
Mu Wanshu, who was familiar with this man, knew that the other party was angry.
