In the Qingning Palace, the Empress Dowager sat on a chair with dull eyes.

Two months ago, she finally regained her senses, but when she woke up, she was filled with grief and sadism. The white-haired man sent away a pair of black-haired children, and brought with him a twenty-three-year-old concubine, who had ruined what little of her spirit had left, and her trembling hands and feet, and wrinkled cheeks, indicating that her life was only a few years away.

Emperor Zhu Qizhen sat aside, revealing the image of the unsmiling little old man. And Jingci Immortal Master and Concubine Wu didn't dare to take a seat rashly, and carefully accompanied the Empress Dowager beside her, looking at the Empress Dowager's facial expressions from time to time.

The loss of consciousness and trance were so long that time seemed to have frozen, and the three people who accompanied the Empress Dowager were deeply affected, and they couldn't help but hold their breath, and they were all extremely light and slow.

Finally, the corners of the Empress Dowager's mouth moved, her cloudy eyes occasionally twitched, and her face became a little angry.

"The Empress Dowager, you have not heard of the world for more than two years, thanks to Sister Wu, Sister Wu entered the Qingning Palace within three days, you recovered, such a coincidence, I don't know if it is providence or human will!" Jing Ci Immortal Master has said these words many times, but the Empress Dowager has never felt it. Immortal Master Jingci seems to have infinite patience, always repeating the old words at the right time, and does not care about the presence of the emperor, perhaps, she is used to using Zhu Qizhen as a wooden man.

The Empress Dowager's eyelids moved clearly, and she must have a feeling in her heart!

Concubine Wu's eyes lit up, breaking the silence day after day, and her tone was soft to the extreme, "Empress Dowager, the concubines are just doing their best, in the final analysis, the emperor is still pure and filial." Glancing at Zhu Qizhen, his tone was no longer smooth, "The Empress Dowager has more than two thoughts, although this matter is strange, but it has finally passed, and the medicine used by the concubine ······"

The Empress Dowager's gaze fell on Concubine Wu's face, looking extremely indifferent, and Concubine Wu quickly closed her mouth.

The gloomy gaze turned to Zhu Qizhen, the meaning in it was still kind, but more confused.

"Come here." The Empress Dowager took the hand of the Jingci Immortal Master, and the first time she spoke, it was actually towards the Jingci Immortal Master! Immortal Master Jingci couldn't help but be moved.

"Live a good life, if you have something to do, you might as well come to Qingning Palace and talk directly."

Live a good life? If you have something to do, just say it?

The Empress Dowager's words made Jingci Immortal Master puzzled, and after thinking for a moment, he still seemed to understand whether he understood or not. And Concubine Wu looked different, and quietly turned her head.

At this time, the Empress Dowager bowed in and knelt in front of the Empress Dowager's seat to salute, "The concubine visits the Empress Dowager." ”

The Empress Dowager kept her face calm and did not squeak for a long time, but when she saw a glimmer of light in her cloudy eyes, her shriveled lips opened, as if she was about to have a seizure.

"The Empress Dowager, Qi Ming has entered the palace!"

"Qi Ming?"

The Empress Dowager trembled and wanted to get up, and the Jingci Immortal Master stepped forward to support her.

"Where is Qi Ming!"

Concubine Wu's eyes froze, and the queen mother's face widened, she looked back, and the attendant in front of the door hurriedly said: "Prince Chuanyue is here!" ”

Stepping on the familiar white marble steps, Zhu Qiming felt a sense of heartbreak. He couldn't bring filial piety into the palace, so he had to wear plain clothes to meet the emperor's grandmother. In the past few days, he paid respects in Yuefu and Weifu, and his mourning and tea and dinner exhausted his physical strength, and only to see the only closest relative in the world did he beat his spirit and not fall asleep.

Entering the gate, I saw the old and haggard Empress Dowager at a glance, Zhu Qiming's nose was sour, his hands and feet trembled, and he knelt on the ground, "Grandson Qi Ming knocks on the imperial grandmother!" ”

The Empress Dowager trembled and walked up to Zhu Qiming, hugged him and cried bitterly.

The tear ducts of the grandfather and grandson have long since dried up, and they can only hug each other and whimper at this moment. After being persuaded left and right, the Empress Dowager picked up Zhu Qiming with her own hands and returned to her seat.

Zhu Qiming turned to Zhu Qizhen, the Empress Dowager, Jingci Immortal Master, and Concubine Wu one by one, and everyone naturally wanted to whisper and be relieved.

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhu Qizhen for a long time, then turned to Zhu Qiming, and choked up: "The Son of Heaven is young, and I blame your imperial grandmother for not being useful, and she has been confused for several years, so that you have suffered a lot, and I can't let you send your father to the end, if you want to complain, blame your imperial grandmother!" And the things of the past have been turned over, and what are you doing with it? It's good if you're back, it's good to come back! ”

Flipped over?

Zhu Qiming felt a faint pain in his heart, he realized that he couldn't find the answer he was looking for from the imperial grandmother, and he couldn't help but quietly look at the somewhat vague faces in front of him, whether it was the ambition in his chest or the sorrow in his heart, they all picked up! He knows that all kinds of human faces in the world have to be seen through bit by bit by himself.

However, one's own affairs can be postponed, and other people's affairs must be struck while the iron is hot, while everyone's compassion has not faded, and while so many people with incomparably valuable status get together, what should be said still has to be said!

Zhu Qiming knelt on the ground again, "Imperial grandmother, it's not that the grandson's life is great, if it weren't for a group of people who sacrificed their lives to save them, the grandson is afraid that he would have gone before his grandson's father and mother!" ”

The Empress Dowager had red eyes, and the corners of her mouth were trembling, "You say, you say." ”

"Liang Gang, the martial artist of the grandson, as well as Xu Gong of the Jinyi Wei Qianhu, Niu San of the Baihu and Jiang Yi, have been born and died many times, and have been injured many times, only because they sacrificed their lives to save each other, the grandson can live to this day."

The Empress Dowager turned her head to look at Zhu Qizhen, her complicated eyes were quite intriguing.

Zhu Qizhen's face was expressionless, but he finally spoke: "The commander of the Yuefu Guard Army is old, so he can be changed to another appointment and taken over by Liang Gang; Niu San and Jiang Yi are meritorious and should be promoted, and the matter will be discussed later; Xu Gong, there is some trouble, wait for the vacancy of the position of the chief officer of the pro-guard army one day, and then the official will be reinstated. ”

Zhu Qiming paused and said: "Imperial grandmother, the grandson fled to a place called Lujia Village in the north of Baoan Prefecture, thanks to a woman named Lu Erniang to take her in, she treats her grandson very well, just like a mother treats her son, and her grandson calls her Aunt Fang, but she has long regarded her as an adoptive mother in her heart. ”

The Empress Dowager raised her eyes to look at Zhu Qizhen again, but the latter was silent.

The Empress Dowager bowed and said: "Empress Dowager, the concubines should not discuss the government in vain, but the matter involves Qi Ming, and the concubines have no choice but to speak in vain." The nurses of the princes and princesses in the palace have the system of sealing the lady, and this system is applicable to that Lu ······ Erniang. ”

"Then according to this system, she will be named Mrs. Yipin, and I will order the female official to choose the title again." Zhu Qizhen said.

Zhu Qiming paused again, "Imperial grandmother, there is a rich family in Lujia Village, the head of the household is called Xun Liang, and his good deeds are well-known. ”

Zhu Qizhen was refreshed this time, "I gave him the fictitious title of a foreign man, although it is a fictitious title, but it gives him the status of a scholar, and he has a good salary for travel and living, which will be different from the past." ”

The Empress Dowager regained some of her spirits, and the expression on her face was no longer dazed. "Qi Ming, you don't have to live in Yuefu, just move to Qingning Palace and be with the imperial grandmother," he glanced at Zhu Qizhen, "If there are really thieves in the Forbidden City, let him take my grandfather and grandson together!" ”

Now, whether it is for the immediate or the long-term, you must take refuge in Qingning Palace and be accompanied by the imperial grandmother! Zhu Qiming nodded, feeling that his eyelids were very heavy, he wanted to fall asleep, and suddenly the figures of Yun Niang and Ni Niang appeared in his mind, he cheered up, glanced at Concubine Wu with the corner of his eye, and said suddenly: "Imperial grandmother, among the grandson's life-saving benefactors, there are two women in the rivers and lakes, they are not rewarded, and the grandson asks the imperial grandmother to see them one day!" ”

Zhu Qizhen was stunned, the Empress Dowager and Jingci Immortal Master were both at a loss, while Concubine Wu looked a little uncomfortable.

"Get up quickly, and when you have something to say, stand and speak! If you are your benefactor, you are the benefactor of your imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother can see them every day! ”

Zhu Qiming's upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and in a trance, he saw two palace maids walking towards the dormitory in a daze, and a familiar female voice came from behind him.

"Eh, Qi Ming, what's wrong with you?"

"Princess Changde ······" Zhu Qiming opened his eyes slightly and muttered, and fell asleep.
