"Today, we might as well spread out a lot of the past. Yes, in the past, the methods of mourning were a bit ruthless, but the mourning family never treated you with bad intentions, and did not want to hurt you by mistake when dealing with others! From the day you were taken into exile in the first year of orthodoxy, the mourners have not been saddened by your affairs. ”

Zhu Qiming sat upright, "The minister knows in his heart that Xu Gong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who went to the north to rescue the minister, wasn't you who sent it?" ”

"But the red knotweed is messed up! She thought it was only that······" The Holy Empress Dowager gritted her teeth and endured it for a long time, and finally put away the insults: "She thought that only the Wu family would sincerely help you, and only the Wu family could protect you, but she didn't know that this was a kind help!" If Hongli is allowed to act cleverly and frequently interact with the Wu family, how can Xianxi Palace still hide secrets? Your situation will never be half improved because of the Wu family's knowledge, the mourning family is most unaccustomed to the slave and maid who conspire with outsiders in their lives, and they wanted to seal Hongli's mouth forever to prevent future troubles! Later, I didn't expect you to sing such a play, and you actually asked the Son of Heaven to give you a marriage, or not, give a marriage and give a marriage, the mourning family admits it, as long as she is far away from the Forbidden City, the mourning family is out of sight and out of mind. ”

Looking through the main entrance, I saw that the sun was shining, and the snow was a little dazzling. Zhu Qiming sat down and didn't say a word.

"The mourners don't want to hide anything from you. For more than ten years, the mourning family has indeed repeatedly secretly transmitted messages with Xiangfu, and you may be aware of it. However, who secretly communicates with Xiangfu is not the only mourning family? Isn't that the case with the Wu family! Earlier, the mourning family was kept in the dark, but then I gradually understood that some people are accustomed to the source left and right, and they are courteous everywhere, leaving the way back, and it is inconvenient for others to say that he is not, hum, as slippery as a loach! ”

The Empress Dowager looked at the ice ridge outside the door, and continued: "The Empress Dowager didn't hesitate to die before and after, that self-proclaimed smart Hongli Xu thought that someone would be unfavorable to you, and thought that the mourning family would take the opportunity to attack someone, and had no intention of caring about your safety. She went to Fu'an Palace secretly several times and was glimpsed, and the insider reported the matter to the mourning family. Where does Hongli know, she only knows one but doesn't know the other! Alas, to put it mildly, it is also to blame that the emperor at that time could not see through the chaotic world! Turning his gaze at Zhu Qiming, "King Yue, think about it carefully, you fell into the water in another courtyard, the evil poison invaded the body, and then you were aggrieved and went to Liaodong, you were lonely, who benefited from it at that time?" ”

Zhu Qiming frowned slightly. For many years, he has carefully examined that period of the past countless times, and there is a line of thought that faintly points to a place that is not easy to be noticed, but there seems to be a wall in his heart that seals everything, and Zhu Qiming is reluctant to tear down that wall.

"The death of the Empress Dowager has left a great god in the Forbidden City, and many people will not only grieve but also think about how to deal with themselves in the days without the Empress Dowager's wing, and their hearts will inevitably be terrified. Perhaps, at that time, the fate of the two generations of royals inside and outside the palace was determined by the will of the Holy Empress Dowager! ”

"Prejudice, abominable prejudice!"

The Holy Empress Dowager left her seat and approached Zhu Qiming, walking slowly in front of him for a few steps, her eyes always staring at Zhu Qiming's face.

"You have repeatedly carried the mourning family behind your back, secretly helping the Jingci immortal master Hu who you shouted very diligently, don't think that the mourning family doesn't know! You also think that the mourners will drive out some people, don't you? The corners of the Empress Dowager's mouth trembled slightly, and then she turned her head sideways, moved to the window, stared at the distant shadow of the temple outside the window, and her expression was gloomy, "The mourning family does hate the Hu family, and hates the Wu family's mother and son, but so what?" The first emperor has already returned to heaven, and the mourning family has no favor to fight for; The mourning family has become the queen mother, and the son of the mourning family is already the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no name or position to fight for; At that time, the middle palace already had its master, and even the concubine of the Son of Heaven had already been registered, so what else was there to fight for in the mourning family! Since he has lost his contention, most of the hatred in his heart has been eliminated by the long spring, summer, autumn and winter in the Forbidden City. ”

turned around and returned to Zhu Qiming's seat, and looked him in the eyes, "You have underestimated the mourning family after all!" ”

Zhu Qiming hurriedly got up and stood bent.

The Empress Dowager of the Holy Emperor softened, "The Empress Dowager drove the crane west, and the mourning family suddenly felt that the sky had fallen!" In the final analysis, the thousands of miles of the Ming Dynasty still have to be watched silently. The mourning family can't compare to the wisdom of the empress dowager, but the mourning family will definitely not leave a disaster for their own selfishness! At that time, the only private thought of the mourning family was to send King Yu to the domain as soon as possible, if this was a private thought. ”

The three pots of charcoal fire in the hall burned extremely vigorously, and the flames were red and purple, and the whole main hall was as warm as spring. Zhu Qiming felt a chill in his heart. The words of the Holy Empress Dowager have come to this point, and he has a premonition that the layer of window paper that obscures the past is about to be ruthlessly pierced.

"Although the minister is dull, he has always been cautious of the courtesy, how dare he speculate on the intentions of the Holy Empress Dowager!" It was only at this time that he responded to the sentence of the Holy Empress Dowager, "You have underestimated the mourning family after all".

The Holy Empress Dowager returned to her seat and did not greet Zhu Qiming to take her seat.

"Back then, the Empress Dowager exhausted her last energy for the emperor's wedding ceremony, and she couldn't serve long before the wedding of the Son of Heaven. Coincidentally, you accidentally fell into the water in the other courtyard, and later alarmed the Empress Dowager, who was almost exhausted, and then later, the Empress Dowager drove the crane to the west, and you successively mistakenly broke into the Fengtian Temple and the Jinshen Palace, so that you were forced to go to Liaodong. Do you know what your grievances have gotten in exchange? After calculating it, it only brought a big change in the direction of the wind! After you went to Liaodong, a group of officials made a big disturbance in the Yongsu Palace, and the voice of asking the emperor to take care of the virtue of his relatives completely overshadowed the call for the king to go to the domain, and the mourning family had to accept the emperor's advice and lived in a simple place from then on. Alas, the Wu family got his wish, and King Yu stayed in Beijing. ”

What the!

Could it be that the past is related to the former Concubine Wu and the current Queen Mother? Zhu Qiming was shocked suddenly, and the blood in his whole body seemed to freeze instantly, and his brain was blank.

"You······ Why didn't you say it sooner? He muttered.

"The mourners have said that the mourning family is also kept in the dark. It wasn't until they met King Xiang this autumn that the mourning family got some useful information from him. The Holy Empress Dowager aimlessly looked at the snowy scene outside the door, and her thoughts seemed to fall into a distant memory, "From the harem to the former dynasty, there are unpredictable people's hearts everywhere, and there are many mechanisms, like a lake of turbid water, in which all kinds of fish have their own ways of survival." Some people try their best to let your fish float on the water, but they themselves dive deeper and deeper, but unfortunately, the emperor is easily bewitched by people, only staring at the floating fish on the water, and unaware that there is a strange fish hidden at the bottom of the lake! ”

I felt a dull pain in my heart. Zhu Qiming came to his senses, and the scenes of the past came to his mind.

Although the memory is far away, but the dust and smoke of the years, you can still see the voice and smile of the Empress Dowager, at that time the imperial grandmother seemed to have no good impression of the owners of Xianxi Palace and Fu'an Palace, and now in retrospect, the indifference of the imperial grandmother to the Holy Empress Dowager is mostly related to the latter's always thinking about the King of the Emperor; And the imperial grandmother's disgust for Concubine Wu, needless to say, must be due to other incidents!

Could it be that Concubine Wu has been secretly making a big fuss about him, the king of Yue?

This thought was accompanied by a burst of sourness that swept through his mind, and Zhu Qiming suddenly gritted his teeth.
