Chang'an City, Daming Palace.

To the east, against the walls of Miyagi, there is a palace.

This palace looks no different from other palaces, however, it has a very special significance.

This palace called Guanghua Hall is where the East Palace is located, the residence of the prince.

Turn right out of the gate of the East Palace, walk dozens of meters, it is where the palace gate is, the imperial city outside the palace gate is the station of the six departments of the three provinces, the prince of the East Palace, originally had the authority to walk in the six departments of the three provinces.

The crown prince, the successor of the emperor and the future master of the world.

Before officially taking over, it is natural to be familiar with the business and understand the world he is about to manage, so as not to be unprepared when he takes the throne, and he is better than the hands of the women of the deep palace, and such a thing will not appear in the Tang Empire.

Of course, in the past few years, the prince Du Xian has rarely appeared in the six ministries of the three provinces.

The main hall of Guanghua Hall is filled with this strange smell, the medicinal fragrance is fragrant, and the smell of various medicinal materials is combined, which is strange, and it is difficult for ordinary people to accept this smell, but if you stay for a long time, you will gradually get used to it.

The chamberlains and ladies of the East Palace were accustomed to such smells.

They seemed to be infected by the smell of medicine, and they all had a bitter face, which was completely different from before the crown prince Du Xian was assassinated, at that time, they were all in high spirits, like the sun at eight or nine o'clock, and now, it is difficult to see a smile on everyone's faces, and they all look sad, looking like dead trees in the sunset.

At this moment, the palace maids and chamberlains came out of the main hall.

Although their walking demeanor still maintained the standard of the palace, the steps under their feet were extremely fast, and there was a very obvious sense of hurry, as if they were fleeing from something.

After a while, a painful wail came from the hall.

"Mother, my son ...... your"

In a corner of the hall, there is a huge soft couch behind the screen, the soft couch is placed around the incense burner, the incense burner is cast in bronze, it is the shape of the crane, the crane's beak is tilted upward, and the green smoke rises from the crane's beak, and spreads in the room.

The aroma is exceptionally clean.

Yes, this bamboo incense from Cheung Chau in the East China Sea has the effect of purifying the air.

In this way, it also masks the extremely strong medicinal smell.

In the empty main hall, there were only two people.

A skinny young man lies on a soft couch, his upper body leans against a layer of quilts, the back of the quilt is woven from the fire silk, this fire silk comes from the southwest mountainous area, where it is a barbarian land, there are many volcanoes, this fire silkworm grows in the volcano, and the silk spit out has a hot breath, even if it is in the ice and snow, the heat will not be lost.

This fire silk is extremely rare, but the Tang royal family can still get it, the fire silk in the southwest area is a tribute, and the production can only be used by the royal family. Every year, hundreds or thousands of people who descend to the volcano to pick fire silk die, mostly exiled criminals and captured local indigenous slaves.

The crown prince Du Xian was slapped by someone, it was the Xuanbing Yin Evil Gong, an extremely vicious exercise.

Therefore, Du Xian is cold all year round, even under the scorching red sun, his whole body trembles, it feels like being naked in the ice and snow at dozens of degrees below zero, and in autumn and winter, it is even more difficult.

Although the crown prince Du Xian was deprived of the position of the East Palace, he was not ordered to move out of the East Palace.

In fact, this decree was not given to him, but he did not know where he learned this message, which was closed all the year round, so there was this previous scene.

His whole person is only forty or fifty pounds, a young man with a height of eight feet, only this weight, the whole person is completely skin and bones, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a skeleton, the eye sockets are deep, and the eyes are like ghost fire.

He was roaring, but the roar was weak.

After yelling, he coughed.

The cough was very weak, in other words, he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to cough.

The person he questioned was none other than his mother, Empress Guo Yuqi.

After Du Xian got the news that he was deprived of his position as prince, he completely lost the will to survive, and he stopped taking medicine, which soon alarmed Queen Guo, so she came to the East Palace.

Everyone was kicked out, and the mother and son were left alone.

In front of his mother, Du Xian was like a child, completely devastated.

"Why? Why ......"

He repeated these three words over and over again.

Guo Yuqi did not speak, and there was no fluctuation in the eyes of Du Xian, among them, there was no mercy, the bulging nose, and the closed lips contained indifference and solemnity.

She was wearing a bright red dress, and the phoenix crown on her head was swaying slightly.

Looking at his mother, in his mother's pupils, Du Xian saw himself, and his eyes became desperate.

He smiled bitterly, smiling bitterly.

After that, he didn't speak, the hall was silent, and the sound of a needle falling to the ground would be very loud.

Oh, yes......

The answer is there, the reason is here, why is it just hypocrisy!

He should actually thank them, thank his father and mother, for not ruthlessly driving himself out of the East Palace, according to common sense, the crown prince is deprived, this palace will usher in a new owner, and the old one can only be swept away.

Heavenly home?

Where can there be family affection in heaven!

It's just a little bit of a suffrage, self, a wasted person, what can you expect your mother to do for yourself?

In fact, Du Xian now just wants to see pity and sympathy in Guo Yuqi's eyes, see pain and pity, even if this expression makes him angry and painful, he doesn't want to see indifference in his mother's eyes.

Everything is already doomed to indifference!

Or, I should thank the Queen Mother for taking the time to meet me, a wasted person!

Laughing like this, Du Xian's laughter became weaker and weaker, turning into a sound similar to wheezing, his chest rose and fell slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his smile became very weird.

Guo Yuqi closed her eyes and took a long breath silently.

She is not an emotionless person.

It's just that feelings are just superfluous emotions in many cases, which do not help reality in the slightest, and will only cause trouble.

Otherwise, she would not have instigated Du Zhen to launch a palace change.

Without her in the middle of the plan, without her as the hub, Du Zhen's palace change would only be a farce.

The reason why the palace change was successful was that Guo Yuqi made great contributions.

She'd seen too much blood, and she'd seen a lot of dead people.

Now, even if her son dies in front of her, she will still suppress her emotions.

Only in this way can we transcend!
