Chapter Fifty-Six: The Mother of the Son Travels Thousands of Miles is worried
After Zhao Gou said goodbye to Song Huizong, he went to the cold palace alone. Although Zhao Gou can understand that his father sent his mother to the cold palace to protect her, the harem concubines are fighting for me, and he is "guilty" in front of him. Even if Song Huizong didn't deal with her, she would be framed by other people's conspiracy, and there was no way to save her at that time, so she could only act first and let her stay in the harem, giving everyone an illusion that she was already a concubine who was not favored by the emperor, and naturally no one harmed her.
Zhao Gou took heavy and steady steps, struggling to walk, thinking that his mother had fallen so far for himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little self-blame in his heart. Considering the overall situation, everything Zhao Gou did was not only right, but also a meritorious person; In terms of human feelings, Zhao Gou was ashamed of his mother and affected her suffering.
After passing through the long corridor, walking through the corridor, and passing several pavilions, I raised my head, and there was no one around, and it was quiet. There are closed doors in front of him, Zhao Gou slowly stepped forward, looking at the thick dust on the eaves, and I don't know how long no one came, pushing the door open, the dust scattered in all directions, he couldn't help frowning.
Pushing the door in, I saw a person wearing plain clothes, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but she was seen sitting cross-legged, her right hand constantly turning the prayer beads, and chanting the Buddha's name. Before Zhao Gou walked in, he heard a familiar voice that could not be more familiar: "Your Majesty, you better go back!" The concubine body just wants to worship the Buddha here, and the concubine body has not returned, and the concubine body will stay here for the rest of her life, and she will be pure, so you don't have to persuade again! ”
Listening to his mother's voice, Zhao Gou's nose was sour, his eyes were red, tears quietly crossed his cheeks, and he heard Wei's tone flat: "Your Majesty, your good intentions, the concubine can understand, but Gou'er has not returned for a day, if you go out of this door with the emperor, it will be troublesome, it is better to stay here, pray for the emperor and Gou'er, I hope Gou'er can return safely, every time you come, the concubine knows that you are preoccupied, the harem cannot participate in politics, and the concubine does not know how to be good, only pray for you and protect the emperor!" ”
It was only at this time that Zhao Gou understood what Zhao Ji said to him before he left. Looking at this situation, Song Huizong came several times to let Wei return to the palace and leave the cold palace, but Wei was stubborn and unyielding, and he was stunned and did not obey his will, even if Zhao Ji was the emperor, he was helpless. After all, Webster was sent to the cold palace because he personally ordered it. Moreover, Wei didn't know whether Zhao Gou was alive or dead, until Zhao Ji told him that one day Zhao Gou would come back, she was a little relieved, and she was still a little worried.
After all, Zhao Gou was only three years old when he left, and the prince was different from ordinary people, he was taken care of by the palace guards, maidservants, and nurses, so he didn't need to worry about it, and he could see it at all times, but the problem was that Zhao Gou was taken care of by Wei's own, and she personally fed her mother's milk, even Zhao Ji felt incredible.
Because Wei's background was humble and she was favored by Zhao Ji, she still has a traditional woman's thinking in her, and she resolutely refuses to let the nursing mother feed. Therefore, Webster's feelings for Zhao Gou exceed his own status. She never cared about the title of concubine, she only cared about the bodies of Zhao Ji and Zhao Gou, as well as their safety.
Wei's showed a unique temperament and deeply attracted Zhao Ji. At that moment, Song Huizong was no longer the emperor, but just an ordinary husband. As a result, Zhao Ji's preference for Wei's gradually became apparent, but Song Huizong's behavior left a lot of troubles for Wei's, making it difficult for her to move an inch in the palace, and from time to time someone would frame her, so she had to enter the cold palace as a last resort.
In Zhao Ji's view, Webster has a gentle personality, does not fight with others, and does not know how to intrigue, so he can only choose to enter the cold palace; However, Wei in the cold palace showed a strong side, which made Song Huizong helpless, and in desperation, he could only choose to ignore it.
Zhao Gou thought of his mother's suffering, and felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, knelt on his knees, knocked his forehead heavily on the hard ground, and cried out with tears streaming down his face: "Mother, the child is back!" ……”
When he knelt on the ground, the sound of kowtowing made Webster a little surprised; When he heard Zhao Gou's shout, the rosary in Wei's hand fell, trembling, and turned his head to look at Zhao Gou, who was crying silently. Even if she hadn't seen her for ten years, Webster still saw at a glance that the young man kneeling on the ground was the son she missed, tears rolled down quietly, and she said in a trembling voice: "Go'er......"
"Mother, I'll be back! ......" With Webster's shout, Zhao Gou hurriedly nodded in agreement, knelt on his knees step by step in front of Webster, and cried: "Mother, I'm back!" Over the years, the child has never asked his mother for peace, failed to fulfill his filial piety by your side, and the child has also been wronged! ”
After speaking, Zhao Gou kowtowed three more times. Wei Shi looked at his son, who really appeared in front of her, and looked at the face similar to that childhood, tears couldn't stop flowing, and he couldn't stop crying: "Gou'er, you're finally back, it's good to be back, it's good to come back!" ……”
"Ahem!"
Zhao Gou saw that Wei's face was pale, and he coughed again, and said eagerly: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Webster forced a smile: "I'm fine, I don't need to worry!" ”
Although Webster was smiling, Zhao Gou still felt that something was wrong. Then, after using his true qi to probe a little, he frowned: "Mother, why are you in such poor health?" ”
After investigation, it was learned that Webster's body was weak and weak, and when she looked at her arms, she found that she had lost a lot of weight, which was far from her previous size.
At the beginning, Webster's figure was plump and well-proportioned, even if he gave birth to Zhao Gou, he was not out of shape; Today, Merriam-Webster looks weak and skinny. Moreover, the body is also sick, as if it is malnourished. Although Webster entered the cold palace, it was just an expedient measure, and he should have eaten well, why was he so weak.
Zhao Gou looked around, just in time to see Webster's unfinished meal, and only found out after a fixed look. Webster only ate a little, and most of the food was still the same, without touching at all, and said, "Mother, why don't you eat?" ”
"If you don't come home for a day, how can I eat! If it weren't for your father's explanation to me, I wouldn't have had any appetite at all. Wei Shi saw that Zhao Gou found that he didn't eat well, and he didn't hide it, so he told the truth.
Zhao Gou felt even more guilty in his heart, Webster's appearance was all because of him. If it weren't for the last resort, his father would not have told Webster some truth. After all, the concept of male superiority and female inferiority is deeply rooted, especially in the palace, and it does not have much status. If it weren't for the worry that Zhao Gou would ask about it after he came back, Zhao Ji didn't know how to answer, so he could only reveal a trace to Wei, and couldn't say too much, so as not to waste everything, and Zhao Ji didn't dare to bet.
Zhao Gou asked Webster to sit cross-legged, but Webster didn't know why, but he still obeyed his son's words and did so. Zhao Gou used his internal force to channel the meridians for Wei's, and after Zhou Dong was seriously ill and panicked, he repeatedly verified it many times, and finally used it proficiently.
After Zhao Gou's true qi guidance, the qi held in Wei's heart suddenly disappeared, and his complexion was much better than before. However, Zhao Gou still told Webster to take care of himself. Wei Shi saw that her son had such a great ability, she didn't want to ask more, she just smiled and nodded in agreement, and Zhao Gou put her mind at ease!
Webster was startled when he felt a stream of air swimming through his body, and thought, "When did my son have such a skill?" ”
Wei was surprised and delighted, Zhao Gou's methods were like a rumored hermit, and his heart was even more happy, looking at Zhao Gou with tears in his eyes, and said with relief: "My son has grown up and has great ability!" ”
Webster asked Zhao Gou how he had been doing all these years, but did not ask what Zhao Gou had been doing all these years. As long as Zhao Gou can come back safe and sound, everything doesn't matter. After all, Wei also knows that there are some things that he still doesn't know, so as not to hinder Zhao Gou's footsteps, as a mother, she only needs support.
Zhao Gou said respectfully: "Mother, let the child out!" You're here alone, and the child is a little worried! Besides, my father's intention is to let you out! ”
Wei shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "I'll stay here, and I'll go out after you do your job or be crowned." Although I don't know what your father and son are doing, as a woman, you should put your husband first. If you go out, it will affect you and act with concerns, so it is better to stay here and wait for your good news. ”
"This ......"
Zhao Gou wanted to persuade, but was stopped by Wei Shi again: "Now, I already know that you are back safe and sound, and I will also have a good life, and I want to watch you marry a wife and have children, and continue the bloodline for the Zhao family!" ”
"One more thing you have to remember! Don't come to visit me unless you have to, there are some things you don't say, I can guess a thing or two! Wait, you'll go back early. After all, this is in the cold palace, staying here for a long time is not good for you, you can go back quickly! ”
Wei is in the palace, more or less heard and seen, and has long known that the people in the harem are sinister, especially when his son has not seen him for a few years and appears again, it must be something important. Since this is the case, she can only choose to support her son and stay in the cold palace, so that no one will say Zhao Gou, and it will also reduce some troubles, Wei does not want his son to be attacked by the ministers of the DPRK and China again.
Webster understands the righteousness, which makes Zhao Gou happy. Zhao Gou also didn't want his mother to be in danger, and the struggle in the harem was far more sinister than in the court. Moreover, Zhao Gou has already entered the court as an official, ranking as a second-class member, if Wei Shi comes out of the cold palace, then people with a heart will use this as an excuse to take the opportunity to make trouble, and when Song Huizong is anxious, even he will be implicated, and it will be more and more difficult to stand firm at that time.
After thinking about it, Zhao Gou decided to let Webster stay here for the time being, at least it would be safe. In addition, if he wanted to see his mother, it was very simple, as long as he wanted to come, the palace guards would not find him at all.
So, Zhao Gou stopped for a while, talked to Webster, and was kicked out by Webster. Wei Shi watched Zhao Gou leave, his face was full of happiness, and he thought: "My son has finally grown up, and he will definitely help your father and solve the worries in the emperor's heart...... Gou'er, you have to work hard, your father treats you so seriously, don't let him down! …… Mother is here waiting for your good news! ”
