Chapter 182: The Old Man

"Exactly, the old body came tonight for two things, the first of which is to ask the Holy Lord to move to Weiyang Palace to see the true face of this charming person."

"And what about the second one?"

"This second thing is one thing that the old body wants to explain to the saint in detail after clearing this demon. This thing...... It is related to the national fortune of my Cangwu country. Since the Holy One is destined to have no sleep tonight, the old body begs the Holy One to grant my wish as an old woman, and listen to the ins and outs of the past few decades......"

Although Li Taijun was sitting, she slowly lowered her head after speaking, and her hair was trembling, obviously caused by the excitement in her heart.

Emperor Wen exhaled heavily.

I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the old woman's gourd, but if there are really such ill-intentioned people in Weiyang Palace, it is naturally impossible to let go. Thinking that the crown princess is now pregnant, if she is really involved with this person behind her, she must not be at ease, and it is better to find out as soon as possible.

"Okay, then I'll let you play. Come on, I want to go to Weiyang Palace with Li Taijun! ”

In the middle of the night, in the Zhaohua Palace.

Zhu Zhijie was sleeping grogily, and suddenly felt that someone was coming from outside the hall. It seemed to be an old woman, but she couldn't see her face clearly, but she stood far away in front of the bed.

"Bad fate, bad fate." The old woman sighed under her breath.

"Who are you?"

"Iniquity did not arise because of you, but ended because of you. Karma, as it should be. ”

Zhu Zhijie was shocked in her heart, why couldn't she open her eyelids heavily, and barely looked through the cracks in her eyes, as if she was the old woman in front of Weiyang Palace.

"Empress Dowager Jing...... What does this mean? ”

The old woman shook her head, turned away, and sighed faintly: "In the end, I treated you too kindly, so that you insisted on going into the tiger's den." Alas...... Harvest the mulberry elm, lose the east corner. I shouldn't have allowed you to marry Cangwu in the first place. ”

Zhu Zhijie was stunned for a while, and when she listened to her tone, it was clear that she was her mother again.

"Mother ......? How could the Mother Queen be here? ”

The old woman's vague face turned to the couch and leaned in as if concerned.

"Even if there are many grievances in the past, you now have the blood of Yin Mu Country in your body, and whatever the old body says will protect you, the past is gone, and it will be gone."

As he spoke, he gently stroked Zhu Zhijie's lower abdomen.

"Li Taijun? How are you? …… What are you doing here? Zhu Zhijie was shocked and frightened, and instinctively reached out to protect her, but was grabbed by the old woman, but the old and withered hands were as powerful as eagle claws, so that Zhu Zhijie couldn't help shouting, "Come on, come on!" ”

Suddenly, a burst of candlelight appeared in front of her, and she opened her eyes vigorously, and a palace maid near her was firmly grasping her hand, and exclaimed urgently: "Your Highness! Your Highness, wake up, are you having a nightmare? ”

When Zhu Zhijie looked up again, there was an old woman somewhere. As soon as she touched her forehead, cold sweat trickled down her head, remembering Fang Cai's nightmare, and the sweltering summer night forced a chill.

"What time is it?"

"Back to Your Highness, the time has just passed."

Zhu Zhijie calmed down, listened attentively, and seemed to hear something.

"I seem to hear the footsteps of many people outside the temple, what is wrong?"

"The slave maid heard that it was the holy driver passing by our Zhaohua Palace."

"This hour? Where is Father going? ”

The palace maid shook her head and said softly: "I don't know, the slave maid looks at the direction they are going, it seems that they are going to the Changning Hall of the concubines." The saint is the lord of benevolence, and our Cangwu country is the first filial piety, the concubines are old, and the concubines have some discomfort in the past, and the saint personally visits them. ”

"Oh......" Zhu Zhijie said these words to the palace maid, and took another sip of the tea, which had eased most of it. She commanded, "Stay close tonight, for I am a little distraught, as if something big is about to happen......

"Yes."

Zhu Zhijie looked sideways out of the window, only to see dark clouds, no moonlight at all, and the leaves were blown by the wind.

Reextension ...... I don't know when I'll see you.

Emperor Wen's emperor and Li Taijun's soft sedan hurriedly passed by the Zhaohua Palace, and soon arrived at the Baiteng Qingyuan not far away, the west of the garden is the Changning Hall leading to the concubines, and the east of the garden is leading to the abandoned Weiyang Palace.

Li Taijun had asked Gonggong Li carefully before, and knew that there was a secret door hidden in the vines by the wall, so he ordered the guards to come forward to investigate, and sure enough, they found a small door.

When Emperor Wen saw the small door, he couldn't help but believe Li Taijun's words before.

"Someone, open the door, I'm going to go in and have a look."

"Yes!" Immediately, a few court guards stepped forward to clear the vines.

The secret door was small and broken, and it was very tightly entangled with the vines. The guards led by him couldn't touch the edge of the door everywhere, and couldn't find the place to open the door, and there was constant involvement everywhere, so he simply pulled out his knife and slashed at the door a few times, cutting the door to pieces, only to see that the door really revealed a faint sheep intestine path.

"Holy Lord, please let the old man walk in front and see what kind of demon it is." Li Taijun's silver cane stopped, and without waiting for Emperor Wen to speak, he ordered: "Come on, hit the lantern in front!" ”

Emperor Wen saw that Li Taijun had already entered the door, and he also got off the emperor's chariot and followed him in clusters.

The withered springs, the twisted trunks of the trees, the dense forests along the way, and the occasional bat flying in the firelight, hissing from their mouths, and making people stand upside down when they hear it.

Emperor Wen and Li Taijun have not been here for decades, and they don't even remember the location of the palace, seeing that everything in front of them is not half similar to the flowery Weiyang Palace in the past, they all sighed in their hearts, sighing that this world is impermanent, and the invincible years are always gone.

Suddenly, the guard in front shouted:

"Who is it? Who's there? ”

Li Taijun hurriedly followed the prestige, and saw an old woman in coarse white standing in front of a dilapidated palace.

In front of the old woman was a field of flowers and plants, which were neatly planted and orderly, and were clearly well cared for, unlike the weeds that grew around her.

Emperor Wen also saw the old woman, and couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out that there was really such a ghost-like person here, looking at the flowers and plants in front of her, as Li Taijun said, it was a flower garden.

He has been familiar with Empress Dowager Jing's Weiyang Palace since he was a child, and it is the residence of his biological mother. He remembers the flowers and plants planted in front of the palace vividly, and heard the palace maids say that since he was born, the Empress Dowager Jing cleaned up the flower garden carefully for him, leaving only some pleasant flowers and plants, but now the palace is dilapidated, but this flower garden is still there.

"Who are you?" Li Taijun asked sharply.

When the old woman heard this, she didn't turn around, but just turned her back to Li Taijun and smiled.

"Li Rou, I didn't expect you to even move here today, you are really capable."

Today, even Emperor Wen has to call Li Taijun when he sees him, and he has never called him by his name. The old woman was not shy about what she said, and she clearly did not take Li Taijun in her eyes.

"Since you dare to pretend to be a ghost in this palace, why don't you dare to turn around and let the old man see who you are."

"Li Rou, I'm not afraid of you, I'm not even afraid of the saint, what are you? It's just that you are so excited, if you push me to be anxious and shake out those things you did back then, don't you care? ”

Li Taijun's heart sank suddenly, this person ...... Who is this person?

Seeing this, Emperor Wen was already angry, and said loudly: "I don't care who you are, but if you want to play tricks in front of me......

The old woman sneered and interrupted Emperor Wen's words: "Holy Lord, have you slept well at night recently?" If the chest is tight and the heart is dry and there is no medicine to relieve it, and you can't find the root of the disease after asking the imperial doctor, you must not cut off the heads of twelve imperial doctors in one night like more than ten years ago, it will not be beneficial to the name of benevolence of the saint. ”

Emperor Wen was shocked, he didn't expect this old woman to suddenly mention this old matter.

Li Taijun was beside him, but he was suspicious when he heard it.

One night more than ten years ago, Emperor Wen had a headache and urgently called the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but unexpectedly summoned twelve imperial doctors to cut the pulse and see the doctor, but they were helpless. Emperor Wen was furious, and beheaded the twelve imperial doctors together.

When this incident came out, the government and the opposition were shaken.

Since Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he has always been peaceful, lenient and benevolent, and even his temper rarely attacked, and it is not surprising that he killed so many imperial doctors for a headache in one night. However, Emperor Wen was very remorseful after the headache the next day, saying that last night was really painful, and he was confused for a while, so he had this tyrannical act, and then ordered the twelve imperial doctors to be buried and cared for their families.

It was the imperial doctor who killed, after all, he was not an important minister, not to mention that accompanying the king was like accompanying the tiger, which was something that was well known throughout the ages, so although there was a moment of criticism in the court, it was not long before the matter was mentioned again.

Unexpectedly, this old woman suddenly brought up this matter for no reason, and listening to her tone, she really had no fear, and Li Taijun, who was still domineering, faintly gave birth to a trace of fear in her heart.

"You want to know who I am, why is it so difficult? All you have to do is let all these idlers and others withdraw, and if there is no one left, I will turn around. ”

Li Taijun shouted: "If you have a clear conscience and do not do evil things, why do you need to avoid people's eyes and ears? ”

"Li Rou, you would be wrong. I have avoided people's eyes and ears, not because I have done evil things, but because you have done despicable and shameless things so far, which are outrageous. I just wish I could appeal to the world and let everyone know your sin. However, in order to save the face of the first emperor, he threw a mouse bogey, so that you could retreat! ”

After the old woman finished speaking, she added a meaningful sentence: "Holy one, be obedient." I'll take the grass and weave a grasshopper for you to play with. ”

Emperor Wen was shocked when he heard this, and this sentence was indescribably familiar. All of a sudden, all the memories of my childhood came to mind.

"You...... Are you ......" Emperor Wen was shocked and frightened, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Taijun, who happened to look at it in the same light, and the two of them were in the same heart, and they were actually the same mind.
