In the side hall of the main heart hall, the candle flame is rising, and the charcoal fire is red. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the doors and windows were closed, the whole hall was steaming and at the same time conducting streams of heat.

The heat that blows on the face can warm people's skin, but it can't warm people's hearts.

Empress Zhang's heart is cold.

The past is vivid, there are joys, sorrows, laughter and intrigue in the deep palace.

But no matter what happens, whether it is happy or sad, whether it is a pack of wolves or a freshly dressed angry horse, there is at least such a person, such a weak body, but always bears a sense of responsibility, the one whose eyes are blind every night and night, but who is always gentle and considerate to her.

The person is still there, but it won't be long before he dies.

Empress Zhang realized that she was not a woman, she was the embodiment of the divine, and she was unattainable in the world. So whether in front of people or behind people, she is always dignified and virtuous, and any of her expressions, preferences, and all her personal feelings are hidden under this dignified body.

But this does not mean that she does not have seven emotions and six desires, Queen Zhang's eyes are red, her expression is full of exhaustion, she raises her eyes lazily, there is an inexplicable sense of loneliness, she is afraid.

Afraid of losing this person's world, losing this person, it seems that even this world, even this palace wall has become cold and ruthless.

But......

Imperial Doctor Hu said that when the manpower is always exhausted, there is no way to return to the sky, and there is no hope.

Empress Zhang sighed faintly, the aroma spewed out of her mouth, she thought that she was strong, more than ten years ago, under the silver power of Wan Guifei, she was still strong to mediate, she is a smart and skillful woman, she knows how to retreat, but also knows when to be tough, she knows how to compromise, and also knows how to control people. But now she realized that her fragility was so terrible that even the rising red candle now became terrifying in her eyes.

But she knew that she had to be strong, she had to stand up, she had to be able to hide her grief more than anyone else, because she had not only a husband, but she also had children, and her son was about to reign over the world, and she had to be by the prince's side, to encourage him, to give him courage.

Empress Zhang pursed her lips, now for her, the situation does not seem to be very good, there are already signs of chaos in the inner palace, there is no backbone in the palace, everything will get out of control, the emperor is really not done, the prince is young, and Queen Zhang doesn't even have a chance to find someone to discuss.

Although Xiao Jing is loyal, he is not the object of confiding in his heart, this person is too slippery.

As for Liu Jian, what about these people? These people seem to be able to be trusted, but ......

Empress Zhang knows that these people also have their own little Jiujiu, and foreign affairs can rely on them, but the palace must also have its own opinions, if it is completely obedient to them and completely put all hope on them, it is never a good thing.

Who else?

A person crossed Queen Zhang's mind, yes, it was him.

He is the son-in-law of the palace and one of the closest people in the palace, but this person is far away in Jiangxi, and it seems that he is destined to come back for a while.

Empress Zhang closed her eyes painfully, this is not a good sign, it seems that the sky is already doomed, in the next day, she ...... This queen of the world, a woman who is about to become the queen mother, will face the coming storm.

The most important thing now is to accompany the emperor and let the emperor complete his last journey, in addition to this, to ensure that the crown prince can ascend the throne smoothly. The red and white ceremonies in the palace must be prepared, and the outer court must also ensure that there is nothing to do, of course, there are some things that can be handed over to Xiao Jing and the cabinet to do, but there are some things that must not be faked.

It seems that every woman who is about to become the queen mother has to bear and face this situation, different people, Empress Zhang's pain is more profound than all the predecessors, they have lost only an emperor, and what is about to usher in is a new emperor, but Empress Zhang has lost her dearest and beloved husband, and she has lost her loved ones who accompany her day and night.

"Niangniang, the emperor is awake......"

The eunuch outside whispered.

Empress Zhang's face suddenly became solemn as the years passed, but she still maintained a bit of charm.

The emotions that were just revealed were fleeting, and no matter how difficult it was to pass, it seemed that they had become insignificant in this iceberg-like face without joy and anger. She opened her mouth gently, and her voice was as dignified and generous as usual: "Go to the dormitory." ”

She stood up, the door had been pushed open, she moved slowly, each step kept the same distance, each step symbolized the incomparable etiquette, out of the hall, the cold wind outside, looking at the past, everything was the same as before, but it seemed to be very different from usual, but the only thing that remained unchanged was Empress Zhang's expression, Empress Zhang was still so calm, so honor and disgrace were not shocked.

The eunuchs and palace people outside bowed down one after another, Queen Zhang didn't look at them, Lianbu continued to move forward, but his mouth was instructed: "In the dormitory, all the people are temporarily withdrawn, if the prince comes, let him come directly to serve, yes, the emperor said, last night boiled millet porridge is quite palatable, and then boil a bowl, and then serve it when it is sixty percent hot." ”

Empress Zhang's instructions have been completed, but the footsteps have never stopped, directly to the dormitory, the palace people have removed the people inside according to her instructions, Empress Zhang went in alone, through the curtain in front of the couch, Empress Zhang has seen the familiar figure.

"Your Majesty." Empress Zhang had a smile on her face, whether this smile was reluctant or not, but under the long-term baptism of this court, she was still dignified.

She first held Zhu Youzhang's hand, which was cold and stiff like a withered hand, but now it was surrounded by Queen Zhang's warm soft wattle, Queen Zhang immediately leaned over and sat down, the eyes that had been washed with tears looked at Zhu Youzhu clearly and affectionately, Zhu Youzhu looked very tired, the whole person was much thinner, half leaning on the couch, but a pair of eyes seemed to be a little bright, and also smiled quietly at Queen Zhang.

This feeling of looking at each other, I don't know how many times in this life, this is two people looking at each other to understand and comfort each other, no matter how many troubles, how many difficulties, just the eyes of each other, it seems that everything can become nothing.

Zhu Youzhu also smiled, this smile was clearly deliberate, deliberately showing Empress Zhang that she didn't have too much pain, so that she didn't have to worry.

Immediately, Zhu Youzhu said: "It's really hard for you these times, you've lost weight, hey......"

Empress Zhang also smiled, shook her head, and said, "Why did Your Majesty say this, yes, the concubine just asked Imperial Doctor Hu and said that His Majesty's body is much better than some time ago." ”

"Really?" Zhu Youzhu looked very happy, and said very seriously: "I also feel that my body is a lot healthier, maybe I will be able to recover after a while." ”

Empress Zhang wanted to be bitter, but she still smiled, of course she knew that she was just comforting her husband, and her husband was also comforting her, both sides were lying, both sides knew each other's thoughts, but the two had a tacit understanding and did not break it.

Empress Zhang said with a smile: "Yes, as long as the body is well, the concubine will accompany me to the East Palace for a walk." ”

"East Palace?" Zhu Youzhu said: "What, what happened to my prince?" ”

Empress Zhang winked at Zhu Youzhu and said playfully: "Your Majesty still remembers, when we were still in the East Palace, once Wan Guifei suddenly arrived, the emperor was startled, and then we tied a knot on an osmanthus tree in the backyard together, so as to pray to the sky, I hope this Wan Guifei will never go to the East Palace again." ”

Zhu Youzhu suddenly realized, and immediately cheered up: "Since then, Concubine Wan really hasn't gone again, yes, I really don't know what happened to that laurel tree, the red knot we tied is still there, and now Houzhao lives there, he is so naughty, he must have already removed the red knot." ”

Empress Zhang tightened her grip on Zhu Youzhang's hand and said, "The red knot is not tight when it is not there, as long as it is still in the hearts of the emperor and the concubines, I am really worried when I think about it." ”

Zhu Youzhu looked at her affectionately and said, "But I was also very happy at that time. ”

Empress Zhang's face was slightly red, and then she said: "Yes, the concubines were also very happy at that time, and it was the greatest blessing for the concubines to be able to accompany the emperor around." ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "I can't be it, without you, I sometimes think, I really don't know what fun there is in this life, do you remember?" When you first arrived in the East Palace, you were always depressed, saying that you wanted to go home, and wanted to go back to visit your parents, at that time, I was frightened, I was afraid that you would go back, and people would criticize you. ”

Empress Zhang said: "Who would have thought that from now on, this palace will become the home of the concubines, and in this palace, the concubines have the emperor, the good photos, and the flowers." ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said: "Yes, although I have had pain and hard work in my life, I am already content with you." ”

The hand was held tighter, and even the heart was quietly warmed, and under the flickering candle flame, the two of them whispered, and the voice was very soft and soft, like a couple's secret words.

After a while, the two stopped talking, Empress Zhang leaned on the edge of the couch, silent, Zhu Youzhu leaned on the pillow, with affection, the atmosphere gradually became solemn again, Empress Zhang's eyes were red, sobbing, her voice was low when she sobbed, as if she was deliberately suppressing, but this unstoppable emotion was still unbridled after all.

Zhu Youzhu was suddenly cramped and uneasy, and hurriedly stretched out his hand with difficulty, constantly stroked her back, and said in a low voice: "Don't cry, I'm here, I'm here......"
