Chapter 129: The Mother and Son of the Moon Dew Palace Meet
"Mother?" Beichen called tentatively, but the person behind the table didn't seem to hear it, or was still distracted.
"Mother?" He called softly again, but came closer.
"Hey." She came back to her senses, looked up at the person who came, just for a moment, excited, happy, aggrieved, sad - tears slipped down from her eyes disobediently, how many years, she had not seen her son, see me today, they have grown so big, she is about to lose her acquaintance.
Beichen and Bei Duqing hurriedly stepped forward to catch her body that couldn't stand because of excitement and joy: "Don't be afraid, concubine, the ministers have come to see you." β
"Son, son......" Concubine Wen murmured as she trembled and stroked their faces, she was afraid that none of this was real, and tears fell even bigger.
"Mother, it's us, it's the sons and daughters who are not filial, and they haven't come to see you for so long." Seeing their mother crying like this, they couldn't bear it, holding her thin hand and crying together.
Anyone has the softest place in their hearts, if you say that the four princes who seem to be brave and good at fighting, and the six princes who are strategizing, the softest place in their hearts is their mother concubine! Therefore, in front of their mother, they will unload all their arms and packages and restore them to their truest appearance, after all, in front of their mother, because of their mother's protection, the children will always be the most real and innocent.
"Good, good!" Concubine Wen couldn't cry, she had been missing for many years, and at this moment she could only turn into a "good" word and tears that kept falling. The three of them hugged each other, and all the grievances and forbearance for so many years poured out at this moment-
At this moment, Beichen suddenly saw that on the desk, Concubine Fang Cai Wen looked at the handwriting of their father. He was suddenly angry and angry, got up and grabbed the pair of words and was about to tear them up: "Mother, so many years, you have been locked up in this abandoned palace for so many years, you still think about him, he is a sinner who makes us mother and son unable to meet, and you still miss him." β
Seeing that Beichen was about to tear off the pair of words, Concubine Wen's eyes widened suddenly, and she rushed up and grabbed the pair of words and hugged them in her arms: "Don't, don't, I only have this character left, I only have it leftββ"
"Mother, be sober, your father doesn't care about you for a long time, you forget him." Beichen couldn't see his mother like this, so he simply made his words heavier.
"No, you lie, your father loves me the most, he said it, he said it......" Curled up in the corner with a text panel, Concubine Wen cried like a child, even if she knew in her heart that the emperor didn't care about her for a long time, and even never cared about her, she would never admit that the emperor didn't love her.
"Mother!" Beichen wanted to say something, but was stopped by Bei Duqing. dragged him to the door, patted Beichen's shoulder, glanced at the sad mother concubine who was still holding calligraphy and paintings in the room and said: "Don't be too emotional, you know, the father is the only one in the heart of the mother, the mother is already hurt deep enough, don't stimulate her anymore, it's a good thing to let the mother concubine still have a trace of thought." Why should youβ"
"Fourth brother, I just can't see my mother become like this for the sake of my father, my father is obviously ββγ" Beichen was uncomfortable.
"But the mother concubine is willing to believe it, I believe that the father still cares about her, which is also the motivation for her to live alone in this Moon Lu Palace for so many years, Beichen, I have always felt that you are an emotionally dull person, but now you also have someone you like, you must be able to understand the emotions of the mother concubine, even if the father hurts her deeply, she still loves her father, for the sake of the father, she is willing to forget, we should not be too entangled in the past, let the mother concubine have this self-expiration."
Beichen calmed down a lot when Bei Duqing said this, thinking of the person in his heart, he breathed a long sigh of relief: "Fourth brother, I understand the truth, but there are some things that cannot be forgotten and forgiven, isn't this what we have been fighting against and asking for?" β
"Okay, the most important thing for us now is to grasp this rare opportunity to meet with the mother concubine, don't be rash anymore, this time the father allows us to see the mother concubine, which means that the father has not completely forgotten the mother concubine, and when the summer banquet is over, maybe the father will be able to release the mother concubine, and then the family can be reunited." He continued to comfort Beichen, although in terms of calmness in major events, he, the eldest brother, is far inferior to his younger brother, but in these emotional problems, especially when encountering the people Beichen cares about, his elder brother will do much better than his younger brother, which can be regarded as the complementarity of the two brothers!
Beichen raised his red eyes and looked at Bei Duqing, feeling that what he said made a lot of sense, nodded slightly, and turned to laugh.
Entering the door again, Beichen calmed down a lot, and in the room, Concubine Wen's mood was also much more stable, sitting quietly behind the desk, watching them come in, her eyes were sad, and she raised a bitter smile, but she had the helplessness to see through everything: "Beichen, Duqing, I don't know your sadness and pain, you don't like your father, you go against him everywhere, and even want to seize the throne, I know all this." But I can't help you with anythingβ"
What Beichen and Bei Duqing didn't know was that for so many years, Concubine Wen Guifei stayed alone in this palace, in order to get a little news about her son from the outside world, she did manual work alone and handed it over to the little eunuch who delivered meals every day, just in exchange for a little news. After so many years, from those little news, she has long guessed what her sons are doing.
Beichen and Bei Duqing were taken aback, they didn't know that their mother had already seen through their intentions, and held her hand tightly: "Mother, we are doing this for you, in order to save you from this Moon Dew Palace, you won't blame us, right?" β
"How so?" Concubine Wen smiled even more bitterly: "I support you in any decision you make." The mother concubine said that she will always stand by your side to protect you, and the mother concubine has long understood that in such a treacherous and unpredictable palace, if you want to live a peaceful and stable life, if you want not to be disturbed by others, not to be framed and slandered, and if you want to be sincere, you can only climb to the highest position. The two of you are the best in the world, and you are also the most qualified to ascend to that position, how can the mother blame you? β
"Mother concubine ......" Beichen was puzzled, their mother concubine has always been a person who does not care about fame, fortune and power, and has been teaching the two brothers to be filial piety and benevolence, not to think about anything other than being a courtier, why is the attitude changing so quickly now.
"Okay, I haven't asked yet, how can you come into the palace to see me? But what happened? Concubine Wen saw that something was wrong with them, and changed the topic and asked.
"That's right, my father has recently asked a few of us to prepare for a summer feast, and I hereby allow our two brothers to enter the palace to come to you to inquire about preparations."
"In this way, he can still remember me, the abolished concubine!" She smiled bitterly, but there was a deep, impenetrable emotion in her eyes.
After staying in the Moon Dew Palace until dusk, explaining everything, and greeting for a while, Beichen knew that the time he had stayed was too long, so he said: "Mother, the time spent today is really too long, and your explanation is in your heart." Please also ask the mother to pay attention to her body in the palace, and the child will definitely try her best to get you out of the palace. Father said that if this banquet is done well, your grounding will be lifted, and then you can be reunited, and the mother concubine will endure it again. And on this day, the child departed first. β
"Okay, mother wait, you don't have to worry about me, I'm doing well. It is important that you do your own thing. Concubine Wen said with a loving face.
After a lot of reluctance and parting, Beichen and Beiduqing came out of the gate of the Moondew Palace, looking at the slowly closing gate, the figure of Concubine Wen gradually disappeared in their eyes, and they strengthened their hearts even more. In order for the palace door to no longer be closed to them, and for the mother concubine to return to them with a smile on her face, they are willing to do anything.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of them, it was the undercurrent, and he said with a panicked expression: "Master, it's not good, three more people have been killed in the literary hall." β
"When?"
"The body found at noon, the Punishment Mansion has gone to investigate."
"Noon-" Beichen looked at the palace behind him, knowing that he couldn't get the news in time because he was visiting his mother, and said to Bei Duqing and Undercurrent: "Let's go, let's go to the literary hall together." β
Soon after they left, Concubine Wen in the Moon Dew Palace took down a scroll from the bookshelf and slowly unfolded it, she was a beautiful woman, the feminine temperament in the painting was exquisite, the mouth was not dotted with Dan, the eyebrows were not painted and far away, the fairy in the real painting was a beautiful beauty that even she had seen the three thousand stunning colors of the harem. This painting is from the emperor's hand, she knows it, but this is not her, nor is it any concubine - this painting was given to her not long ago, and the person who gave her this painting also told her that the person in this painting is the emperor's favorite person, and the reason why the emperor has favored her is because she has the peerless temperament of that woman.
It's just because of the similarity of temperament - when she thought of this, Concubine Wen clenched the painting in her hand hard, eager to tear it apart, her eyes changed from gentle and loving to cruel and indifferent - the self-comfort in her heart all collapsed, how ridiculous, she loved, begged, and was trapped for so many years, it was just wishful thinking, it turned out that the emperor never cared about her, it turned out that she had always been just a shadow of others-
So from the moment she saw the painting, she secretly made up her mind: she must leave this Moon Dew Palace, and she must ask that person in person, in the end, what is she in his heart? Looking out the window, the sky outside the Moon Dew Palace, she put the painting back away, and today she has the opportunity to see her son, and now, whether it is for herself or her son, she is more determined in her inner decision:
She's going to leave this Moon Dew Palace!
