The empress showed a rare tenderness, she stroked Xu Moqing's hair bun, and said, "Help me up." ”

Xu Moqing shook his head and refused, "The mother emperor still needs to cultivate well, don't be angry." It's only to blame Erchen for being bad, which made the mother emperor think of those sad things in the past. ”

The empress raised a hand and insisted on helping him, Xu Moqing had no choice but to obey, got up and helped the empress to walk off the couch with one arm.

"Lying on the couch for many days and not dredged the meridians, there is pain everywhere on the body. How about accompanying me for a walk outside? ”

Xu Moqing could see that the empress still wanted to talk to him. It seems that the Empress really intends to talk to him about the past many years ago. That's the truth he's always wanted to know.

"Erchen is naturally very willing, but the mother emperor has just woken up, and the imperial doctor also told you not to hurt your mind too much."

"How have you spoken to me like that before? Eight out of ten sentences are against me, and I have only been in a faint for two days, and you have become so well-behaved. ”

Without waiting for Xu Moqing to reply, the empress had already opened the palace door and walked outside the palace on her own. panicked, a group of maidservants followed behind, dressing and crowning the queen.

Xu Huaiqing sent the third prince away and turned back to the front of Ziwei Palace, hoping that the mother emperor would summon him for a while. Unexpectedly, the empress and Xu Moqing walked out one after another, and they didn't even pay attention to their own meaning. She trotted to catch up with the empress, and said with concern: "Mother Emperor, Mother Emperor, son-in-law, ......"

"Huaiqing go back first. When I have time, I will summon you. The Empress said that Bi had departed.

Xu Moqing followed behind the empress and walked past her without squinting. Xu Huaiqing was a little panicked, she was afraid that Xu Moqing would sue her in front of the empress and join her, so she would be passive. She stomped her feet on the spot angrily to no avail, so she could only return to her palace in anger first.

When the empress walked out of Ziwei Palace, she had caught a glimpse of Yan Guiwan's figure in the side hall. But the empress's mind is now all on Xu Moqing, so she has no time to take care of her.

In late spring, the courtyard of the palace is full of life with birds and flowers. Xu Moqing accompanied the empress for a while, and asked cautiously, "The mother emperor wants to rest?" ”

"It's fine." As she spoke, the Empress walked to a pavilion and sat down. She turned her head to Xu Moqing, who was standing beside her, and said, "You just sit here." She pointed to a stone bench across from her.

"How dare you?" Xu Moqing bowed and crossed.

The empress sighed slightly, "I'm not used to the way you look. Sit down, I can't help but tilt my head up and speak to you. ”

"There's a minister on his knees."

Xu Moqing was about to kneel as she spoke, but the empress's face sank suddenly, and she turned into a commanding tone, "Sit down." ”

According to the words, Xu Moqing had to sit opposite the empress. For the first time in twenty years, he was on an equal footing with his mother, and his heart was both excited and dazed.

"Where did we go before?" The Empress's countenance was again immersed in some kind of memory.

When Xu Moqing thought about it for a while, he reminded: "The mother emperor said that I looked very similar to my father back then. ”

"Yes." The empress slowly lowered her eyelids, "More than 20 years ago, the world was not so peaceful, and wars often broke out between Dongliang, Xizhou, Nanhai, and Beilu. In order to compete for land and resources, the people of all countries are miserable. Later, all countries had a strong long-cherished wish: to stop the war, recuperate, and rebuild their homeland. In this way, the four countries finally stopped fighting each other, but each country was afraid of being coveted by the other three countries. It was the emperor of Hokuriku at that time who put forward an idea, that is, countries sent protons or peace to each other, so as to achieve the role of restraining and containing each other. ”

Xu Moqing seemed to be listening to legendary stories, and he really had never heard of these histories. His eyes were round and his mouth barely closed.

The empress showed a rare smile, and also retreated from the majesty of the past. She continued: "Your father is the prince who was sent from Xizhou to Dongliang to make peace with me. He was the most beautiful man I had ever met. Handsome, elegant, and talented. I was fascinated by him...... You know, my Dongliang is different from the situation of the other three kingdoms, we are a female dynasty, and he will definitely have a lot of unaccustomed things when he comes here. But he worked hard and took it seriously to adapt, and we gradually fell in love with each other. And then there's you......"

Xu Moqing choked up, this is a beautiful love story! But how could it be after that......

"And then? Mother Emperor, what happened then? ”

"Everything seems to be beautiful, and I once wanted to make your father the queen of men. But one day he was drunk, and he never lost his temper, and he wept bitterly in front of me, saying that he missed Xizhou very much, and missed his father, mother, brothers and sisters, as well as his wretched wife and children. I was so stunned that I couldn't understand what he was saying. Until the next day he woke up and knelt before me and told the truth. He is not the prince of Xizhou at all, he is just an entourage of the prince. He came to Dongliang under an impostor to marry me. This is bullying! This is also Xizhou's contempt for my Dongliang! ”

"So you're going to kill him?" Xu Moqing couldn't help but guess in that direction.

"Humph! I knew you would think the same way. The Empress's voice began to tremble, "But...... He did die. Kill yourself ......"

Xu Moqing's tears kept falling, it turned out that the truth was so tragic, even more tortuous than he imagined.

"After Xizhou learned the news, he also thought that I found out the truth and caused him. However, due to the loss, he did not engage with Dongliang in short arms. In the next few years, countries will tend to develop steadily, and no one will want to send protons or relatives out again, so the dust will settle on this history. Those who stayed in my Dongliang from the other three countries will go back if they are willing to go back, and those who are willing to stay will stay. The only thing to keep in mind is not to talk about the past. The same is true of those of us sent to the other three countries by the Eastern Liang. ”

The empress spoke too much in one breath, and her voice began to become hoarse, but she still had to continue: "Three years after your father's death, I changed the name of the country to Guangchu. The beginning of the light is the first day of your father's coming to Dongliang, and he begs me to give him a new name. Your father's original name was Jiang Cheng, but later changed his name to Jiang Guangchu. Mo Qing is the name he personally set for you. The jade scratch that was given to you...... It's a token he once gave me. ”

The Empress finally held back her emotions and her eyes were flushed.

"Mother Emperor, have you ever worn Xizhou women's clothes for your father? Did he see you wearing that jade head? ”

The Empress nodded in acquiescence.

"So after he's gone, you don't have a back seat."

"Yes."

"That's why you've been doing that to me all these years."

"I don't want you to be bound by the rules and regulations of Dongliang or Xizhou, rules are meant to be broken. It is not uncommon for me that you grew up freely to become your father. ”

"But the price of this freedom ......"

"Mo'er, one day you will understand my good intentions."

"The mother emperor told his sons so many old things today, and his sons couldn't digest them for a while." Xu Moqing said goodbye in pain.

For a long time, there was silence.

The Empress stood up leisurely, put her hands behind her back, and looked at where she was.

"Lao Yan will be my hero in Dongliang. Those who have never been to the battlefield cannot understand the tragedy of the battle at that time. If we were defeated in that battle, land cession, indemnity, and enslavement would follow. Xizhou is the most powerful of the four countries, and its territory is also the most extensive. The South China Sea and the North Continent have paid tribute to Xizhou for many years, and they have never bent their waists. It is precisely because of this that in recent years, they have shown signs of violating our Dongliang. I asked you to marry Yan Guiwan, you should know what it means, right? ”

Xu Moqing was puzzled, shook his head and said, "Erchen doesn't understand. What does this have to do with Yan Guiwan? ”

"If the Zhu family has a third daughter, I will marry you to the Zhu family. But the Zhu family no longer has a daughter. Although the Yan family's family is lower, there is an old Yan general's signboard, and their family will have another general sooner or later. Yan Guiwan is a good seedling, with her mother's style. I gradually promoted her to the throne, and the title of my grandfather also let her inherit it...... It seems that your wife and husband are also in deep love, and because of you, the power of the Yan family will develop. Since you can't marry the Zhu family, then you can't let the Zhu family's power be too big, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”

The Empress said to him on this day almost more than the previous twenty years combined. One after the other, interlocking, he simply didn't have time to chew. The gentleness with which he had spoken of his father was now gone, and he had reverted to cold schemes.

"Erchen is also your pawn?"

The empress turned around and leaned over to look at him, "You are my prince of Dongliang, don't you have this responsibility?" Don't you think that marrying into the Tang Mansion is the real love for you? ”

"No, Erchen doesn't bother to enter the Tang Mansion."

"The Tang family has been defeated, and if I die, the Tang family will fall. The Tang family has covered the sky with one hand for too long. I know what you're thinking, and you don't understand why I'm talking so much to you at this opportunity. ”

Xu Moqing admitted: "Erchen does think so. ”

"One, I miss your father; Second, I'm really sick. ”

I saw Xu Moqing jump up, look at the empress with concern, and open her mouth to ask the empress what serious illness she had. But the Empress motioned for him to be silent.

The Empress herself continued: "This illness is not a serious illness, but it occurs occasionally. As you can see, fainting. Imperial Physician Hu and Imperial Physician Shen kept a secret for me and never leaked it. That's why Huang hasn't been able to find the right doctor to diagnose me. Other imperial doctors did not dare to give medicine easily, which is why they delayed for so long. Your adoptive father is a careful man, and he should have observed that it was always the two people who came to ask me for peace on weekdays, so he thought of bringing them both into the palace. ”

Xu Moqing felt that what the empress said was a little reluctant, even if Concubine Huang didn't know the reason, didn't the several eldest women around the empress know the details? Why didn't they speak up, just watching the empress faint and not wake up? Or were those few also bought by the eldest princess? But he didn't ask directly, because he had no evidence.

"I've told you all the secrets of many years, can you feel a little more comfortable?" She paused again, "If you're comfortable, you can go back and think about it yourself, and then, it's time for us to settle accounts with them." ”
