Before dawn, the darkest time.

The deepest part of the Forbidden Garden.

In a small pavilion that has been forgotten by the entire Taiji Palace.

The head is still good, but the red makeup is not old.

Liu Gongshou sat in front of his mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.

She is still as good as she was back then, but the look on her face is no longer the innocent and pure touching she was back then.

She's old......

Although it may not seem like this on the outside......

But she knew that her heart was already wrinkled layer after layer.

At a long time, she sighed, but when she looked out the window, there was a little light:

Because she knew that the child was coming again.

…… Although he always said that he always told him not to come again......

Can be for a mother......

What could be more joyful than seeing one's own son come for himself?

As she expected, just like her, Li Zhong, the king of Chen, who was almost ignored in this palace, quickly rushed in, whispered to his mother, and threw himself into the arms of the palace attendant.

"Good boy ......"

She hugged her son softly in her arms, and all she could do was mutter.

What she didn't expect was that her son came this time, but he also brought a shocking news that taught her.

……

After listening to Li Zhong's statement, Liu Yunruo's heart suddenly had mixed feelings:

Although she was in the forbidden garden, she also heard about Mei Niang's child.

When she learned the news, she was surprised by her composure and calmness:

Or is it because she doesn't hate Mei Niang?

Or, in fact, in her heart, she never resented her?

In short, she accepted the news very calmly.

There was only one thing that made her uneasy......

Mei Niang has her own child, what should Zhong'er do in the future?

Follow the Queen?

No...... No way.

She shook her head firmly:

A woman like that...... Unworthy to be the adoptive mother of her son.

But Mei Niang already has a child of her own......

So what?

She asked herself:

yes, so what?

She didn't expect her son to ascend to the throne and become a king in one day, as outsiders say......

In fact, as a mother, she hopes more than anyone else that her son can stay away from all these disputes and entanglements, and be a free, rich and peaceful prince......

That......

Zhong'er can't ask Mei Niang to treat her as her own parent......

So what?

Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face:

That's right......

She should be glad for ......

It is precisely because Mei Niang has her own child......

She should be glad for it......

She knows Mei Niang, in this Tai Chi Palace, or it can be said that she knows her best, except for the people around Mei Niang......

So she knows that no matter what Mei Niang wants to do in the future, there will be no harm to Zhong'er's life.

She won't hurt Zhong'er, so that's the best outcome.

Let Zhong'er really get Mei Niang's favor...... Then, take this opportunity to make Zhong'er well, cling to Mei Niang, and survive in this cannibalistic palace.

That's fine......

With Mei Niang's child here, Zhong'er doesn't have to ascend to the throne like a sword......

In this way, Zhong'er's path will be much happier and happier......

An idea gradually took shape in her heart, and finally, she reached out and hugged her child tightly, and said softly:

"Zhong'er, do you like Wu Niangzi?

What do you think she ...... How are you treated? ”

When Li Zhong heard his mother's Song's question, he was stunned for a while, and then hesitated for a while:

"Zhong'er doesn't know......

But she treats Zhong'er very well.

On weekdays, although the queen treats Zhong'er very well, she always doesn't like Zhong'er to have fun, or take something in her hand......

I have always taught Zhong'er to memorize military books and historical records, saying that these are all things that will be used to be a prince and an emperor in the future......

Only Wu Niangniang always teaches Aunt Wen (that is, Wen Niang) and Father-in-law Rui in private to send some interesting things to Zhong'er......

What kind of war chess is it like...... Formations and the like......

Although they are also told to learn from Zhong'er, the things given by Wu Niangniang are much more interesting than those given by the queen......

Zhong'er likes it very much.

And when Zhong'er was in the Hongwen Pavilion, he was often bullied by Sujie and Shangjin, and it was always Xiao'er's younger brother who came to the rescue......

Therefore, Zhong'er heard Xiao'er's younger brother say more than once that Mu Niang next to him was the person Wu Niangniang begged his father to beg him, treated him very well, loved him very much, and often taught him to be brothers, friends and brothers, and he must get along with Zhong'er well......

Xiao'er's younger brother once said......

said that he once followed his father to the Lizheng Palace and saw Wu Niangniang, but Wu Niangniang knew that Zhong'er and Xiao'er's younger brother were often bullied, so she persuaded her father behind Xiao'er's younger brother's back, and found Zhong'er and Xiao'er's younger brother to teach them separately on the grounds of their old age, and separated them from Sujie and Shangjin.

The godfather emperor has the opportunity to teach Su Jie and Shangjin well, don't be arrogant and oppress others......

As a result, the father really found an opportunity to teach Su Jie and Shangjin a lesson, and raised Zhong'er and Xiao'er's younger brother in the hall alone......

also invited Uncle Yuan (that is, the eldest grandson Wuji) to teach Zhong'er and Xiao'er to read in person......

Su Jie and Shang Jin are about to die of jealousy......

Haha......"

Li Zhong's little face showed some pride and loneliness:

"But...... But all of this is a good thing when Wu Niangniang knows about it......

Many times, Zhong'er can't stay with Wu Niangniang......

So there is no such good thing......

Mother, why?

Obviously, the queen is a more powerful person, isn't she?

Why doesn't my father like her as much as he likes Wu Niangniang? ”

Hearing his son's words, Liu Yunruo also breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking about it, she hugged her son into her arms and said softly:

"Zhong'er......

Don't tell anyone what your mother told you......

Be sure not to tell ...... Otherwise, our mother and son will die......"

In Zhong'er's eyes, a trace of fear and caution immediately appeared:

"Zhong'er knows ......"

"Good......

You ask your mother, why is the queen not liked by your father?

Because......

She wasn't supposed to be this queen mother.

Got it?

The real queen mother in your father's heart is not her. ”

Zhong'er nodded and said softly:

Zhong'er understood......

The queen mother in the heart of the father......

It's Wu Niangniang, isn't it? ”

Liu Yunruo nodded and said indifferently:

"That's right......

This queen mother is the one who forcibly robbed you of the queen position of Wu Niangniang......

So your father hates her and hates her......

But because of the power of her mother's family......

Your father can't do anything with her for a while.

Just as you can't do it for a while now......

However, your father is the first person in the world, and this Tang Dynasty is his ......

So sooner or later, this queen's position still has to be returned to you Wu Niangniang......

Do you understand? ”

Zhong'er nodded immediately:

"The mother...... Zhong'er, can you stop following this fake queen mother?

Zhong'er doesn't like her, Zhong'er just hopes to use Zhong'er to invite her father to see her more......

But Zhong'er likes Wu Niangniang......

Zhong'er wants to follow Wu Niangniang ......"

What Liu Yunruo was waiting for was her son's words, she nodded with satisfaction, not noticing the brightness in Li Zhong's eyes, which seemed to be too scorching......

She only said lightly:

"Do you want your martial arts lady to stay with you?

There's a way, you put your ears over ......"

Li Zhong did as he said and attached his ear to his mother's lips.

The eighth day of the first month of the second year of Yonghui.

Night.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Zhi was quite angry because of the fact that Concubine Lu Xian did not come before, and he also heard the secret report, and after Concubine Lu Xian refused to make the decree, she actually went straight into the queen's palace, so she was even more angry.

Therefore, the reason for the previous queen's resistance to the decree, coupled with the reason for the instigation of the concubine to refuse the decree, punished the queen Lu Xianfei and the two of them each stopped for half a year, and the queen waited for the first month after all the great gifts, and was grounded for one month, and lived in the Wanchun Palace and was not allowed to go out.

Concubine Lu Xian was arrogant because of her pampering, ignored her wishes, and was not allowed to go out for half a year.

……

His Royal Highness.

"Well deserved!"

After hearing the news, the first one to applaud was Ryan, who was carefully guarding outside the Lizheng Palace, personally watching the medicine furnace.

Liu'er next to him also said:

"This Concubine Lu Xian really regards herself as a character......

The queen's refusal is the mother of a nation, and the Lord can't do anything with her for a while......

Now that she is like this, isn't she killing herself?

It's a shame that she can live so long in the palace......"

Ryan was about to say something more, but suddenly saw Wen Niang rushing to the side, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Immediately, Ryan was surprised:

"Why is he here?!

What's the matter? ”

Wen Niang took her mouth again, and after talking for a while, Liu'er saw that the expression on Ryan's face changed in an instant, and she knew that something big must happen.

After a while, Ryan spoke:

"This is a big deal......

What's more, he can be regarded as the person in Sister Wu's heart......

Just tell Sister Wu! ”

……

Li Zhong was alone, did not follow the entourage, and anxiously guarded the shadow of the back door of the Lizheng Palace.

He was able to get out of it under the pretext of going to Li Xiao.

If it's been a long time, something has been discovered by the people in the Wanchun Palace...... But......

He glanced at the Lizheng Palace, and his heart jumped inexplicably fast:

He wanted to see her, to talk to her......

Maybe...... Maybe it will be a meeting that will change his fate......

He bit his lower lip and comforted himself:

Don't worry...... Don't worry.

She will meet her own.

This has always been the case......

She treats herself so well...... Bound to meet their own.

It seemed that God had also heard his wish, and soon, Ryan hugged the white jade and greeted him in person.

Then, after all, he saw her......

Lying on the couch, with a sickly face, she looks more beautiful and gentle, and she is a touching Wu Meiniang.
