Liu Ji just came to the East Palace, and he didn't know what he was going to do out of the palace.

"Don't ask so much, just go out with me, and you'll understand."

Liu Ji no longer asked, in the evening, the two quietly went out of the East Palace, to a city god temple in the east of the city, where Wang Jingfeng brought a personal slave and maid was waiting for him, the two hugged each other tightly as soon as they met, and said lovesickness to each other, Wang Jingfeng asked the prince to marry her quickly, otherwise the night is long and dreamy, and the father will marry himself to someone else.

The two talked for a long time before saying goodbye, and when they went back, Sima Shu said to Liu Ji: "Xiaofuzi, I want to go to Nangong to see my mother." ”

"Your Royal Highness, you entered the Nangong at night and did not comply with the system, and Zhang Sikong won you the opportunity to meet once a month, you met Concubine Shuniang at the beginning of the month, and it has only been ten days for you to meet again, could it be that there is something important?"

"You don't have to ask about this, I'm just thinking about my mother, it would be nice if I could take my mother to the East Palace, Xiaofuzi, do you have a way?"

Liu Ji knew that he didn't tell the truth, so he said: "Your Highness, there is a way, but I have to wronged you." ”

Sima Shu said: "That's okay, as long as you can sneak into Nangong, what's the way?" ”

Liu Ji said: "Your Royal Highness wants to pretend to be a eunuch, bring a box, and put some food in it, just say that His Royal Highness the Prince's filial piety to the concubine's bird's nest shark fin should be sent over, although you can't meet casually, but sending someone to send things should be unimpeded, just a routine check." ”

Sima Shu said: "This method is good, I used to send things to my mother, Xiaofuzi, let's go back to the dining room and let the dining room cook, and we'll go in a while." ”

The two returned to the palace to stop and change their clothes, Sima Shu pretended to be a eunuch, and Liu Ji said: "Your Highness, just follow me, don't speak, you have to lower your eyebrows and pleasing your eyes." ”

When the two arrived at Nangong, Sima Shu was carrying the box in the back, Liu Ji led the way in front, and the guards knew Liu Ji, so they just checked it and put it in Nangong.

Liu Ji had never been to Concubine Shu's residence Xie Jiu, and Sima Shu went to Concubine Shu's palace while talking.

When he arrived at the door, Liu Ji watched the door, Sima Shu entered inside, Xie Jiu saw that it was a eunuch, and he thought that the emperor must have come to deliver something again.

Sima Shu lowered his head and said, "On the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, I will give Concubine Shu a box of brocade food." ”

Although Xie Jiuren is nearly forty, she still has charm and graceful posture, she is Sima Shu's biological mother, Sima Zhen's concubine, and once a talented person of Emperor Wu of Jin.

As the biological mother of the crown prince, she should have a higher grade, but due to Jia Nanfeng's suppression, she only won the title of a lady concubine last year, and there were only two elderly palace maids waiting on the side.

Jia Nanfeng was afraid that their mother and son would have an accident, so he didn't let Xie Jiu go out at all, nor did he let the prince visit, and with Zhang Hua's efforts, he got the opportunity to reunite mother and son once a month.

Xie Jiu slowly took it and muttered: "It's still the emperor who remembers me, or the emperor who remembers me......." ”

She asked again, "Is the prince okay?" ”

Sima Shu raised his head, and Xie Jiu was taken aback, it turned out to be his own son! She knew that she must have come in disguise, because the opportunity to meet this month was gone.

Xie Jiu said to the only two maids beside him: "You all go down, I want to ask me about the situation of the emperor in detail." ”

The two maids retreated, and Xie Jiu said: "Shu'er, why do you want to risk coming here, you must know that if Jia Nanfeng knows, you and I will be punished, and we may be deprived of meeting once a month." ”

Sima Shu said: "Mother, the child has something important to ask you, the last time we met, because Jia Nanfeng's people were present, I didn't talk about it, and I couldn't wait for the next month's meeting to talk about it, so I ventured into Nangong." ”

Xie Jiu said: "What is so important? ”

Sima Shu turned around and came to the door, and once again told Liu Ji to watch the door, and immediately reported as soon as someone came, then reflexively closed the door and bolted, came to Xie Jiu and knelt on the ground: "Mother, the child wants to ask you something, please Mother must tell the truth." ”

Xie Jiu helped him up and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Sima Shu finally said: "Mother, is the father really the biological father of the child?" ”

Xie Jiu flicked his sleeves and said, "Bold! What kind of style do you talk like that! Although your father is dull, he is not loyal, do you dislike your father to say this! It's so unbelievable! ”

Sima Jiu has always been filial, seeing that Xie Jiu was angry, he knelt on the ground again, did not dare to raise his head, and told Sima Jiu about the assassination of Sima Zhen that day, Xie Jiu heard that the blood of the two of them could not be combined, and knew that the truth could not be concealed after all, she sat down on the chair and said: "Shu'er, could it be like that............"

Sima Shu said: "Mother, I must know the truth of the matter. ”

Xie Jiu said: "Xiao'er, this matter is a long story. Our Xie family slaughtered sheep for a living, is a butcher's family, because the eunuchs who went out to buy often see me, see that I look beautiful and reported to the first emperor Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu issued an edict to summon me into the palace, the first palace maid, a year later by Emperor Wu Xing, named a talented person. At that time, your father was just a teenager, so he made a concubine for her, and they finally chose the eldest daughter of the powerful minister Jia Chong, which is now Jia Nanfeng, to be the crown princess.

Before your father got married, the first emperor was worried that your father did not know the affairs of men and women, so he sent me to the East Palace to teach him about the intercalary room, and just more than a month after I was blessed by the first emperor, I went to the East Palace to ...... your father. ”

Later, I returned to the West Palace and was found pregnant by the imperial doctor, and the first emperor decided that I had been to your father's place, and the belly should be pregnant with your father's flesh and blood, so he gave me to your father. My belly is getting bigger and bigger, as the crown princess, Jia Nanfeng is very jealous, threatening to open my belly, she also made a gesture to poke open the belly of a pregnant concubine with a halberd, the baby fell to the ground on the spot, and the mother and child died! I was scared, so I begged the Emperor to take refuge in the West Palace, and the Emperor agreed to my request and let me move back to the West Palace, where I was safe and gave birth to you without incident.

Until you were three or four years old, once your father went to the imperial study to see the first emperor, where Sima Ying and several other princes were playing, among them were you, your father loved to play, so he played with you, and he called you little imperial brother, but when your father and you held hands, he called you little imperial brother, and the first emperor stepped forward and said that this is not your imperial brother, this is your son.

You also know your father's temperament, what others say is what they say, and he has no doubt that you are his son, so your father happily brought back our mother and son. ”
