The old lady was supported by the two imperial doctors, her face was pale, and she stood at the door of the inner room. Her voice was weak and staccato.

Stop every time you say a word.

Emperor Yongping saw the old lady wake up, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Old lady, why did you just wake up, just let people call, you go and rest, I will help you take care of this matter." ”

After speaking, he ordered Mama Su and the maid to help the old lady to lie down in the inner room.

Although the old lady's face was extremely haggard, her eyes still looked clear, and she said, "The old woman is just a cheap body, how dare you work Your Majesty, many faux pas, and I am terrified." ”

As he spoke, he ordered Mama Su and the eldest girl to support herself, and knelt on the bed, so she barely leaned on the head of the bed.

The old lady was completely strong at the moment, she wanted to cry, she felt sorry for her son.

Because of his face blindness, he recognized the wrong person and loved the wrong person, and married such a vicious, greedy and shameless woman who entered the door, and what was even more hateful was that Ji was a pawn planted by others.

The pillar of the Jin Palace's palace died because of her.

If she was just a chess piece, it would still be a small matter, and once the news of her collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country spread, she couldn't imagine what kind of field the Jin Wangfu would fall to.

Even if his son dies trying to save the car......

Unexpectedly, as soon as she woke up, she heard the sound of talking outside, the sound of anger, she hated to faint again, but she couldn't, she forced her to open her eyes and let the doctor help her up, although the doctor repeatedly warned her that she couldn't get up.

How could she not get up, Yue'er is secretly returning to the house now, and something like this happened to the Ji family, she must let Emperor Yongping leave as soon as possible.

She said, "Your Majesty values the Xiao family, and the old body is happy to accept it, but it is difficult for the Qing official to decide the family affairs case, and the Ji family's affairs are still handled by the old body, as for the crimes she committed, the old body will definitely give Your Majesty an explanation later." ”

After she said a few more words, she gasped slightly and stopped.

collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, she committed it when she was the head of the Jin Palace, and she is not a 'chess piece' who can shirk it.

It's just that the Jin Wangfu married a mourning star and came in, and the Jin Wangfu has to pay a little price.

Emperor Yongping looked sad, and he also understood what the old lady meant, but how could he leave at this time? The old lady was sick like this.

He said, "Old lady, you don't need to say it, rest well, I understand your intentions." ”

After speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Father-in-law Yu who was standing behind him.

Father-in-law Yu stepped forward and said, "Judge Xu, the old lady has finished applying the needle here, please prescribe a conditioning prescription for the old lady,"

After speaking, he said to Mama Su, "You take the two imperial doctors to the next door to prescribe prescriptions, and if there are no valuable medicinal materials, just tell the guard at the door and ask him to go back to the palace to get them." ”

Yuan Xu hurriedly responded, saluted Emperor Yongping, and followed Mama Su out of the inner room.

Except for Ji, the others were also taken out.

Seeing that Emperor Yongping was not leaving, the old lady was anxious at first, but she thought that Ji's affairs had already been known to him anyway, and now, he said it so earnestly, just right, he could also take this opportunity to probe the bottom of Emperor Yongping.

She closed her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes,

"Ji, Your Majesty is the lord of all peoples, you said that he has no right to divorce you, well, Xiao Yi is my son, then I, as a mother, divorced you on behalf of my son, do I have the right?"

Ji was tied, and his face was now blue and red with blood and tea residues, and it looked extremely terrifying.

Her whole body was like an ice cellar, and there was no trace of temperature, staring directly at the old lady, and her voice was terrible, "You haven't liked me since the day I entered the mansion, so I thought that there would finally be such a day, if you want to take a break, you can take a break."

Do you think that if you divorce me, you will end well? ”

She is an eight-carrying sedan chair, wearing a red dress and worshipping Xiao Yi through heaven and earth.

She can only not be the identity of the Xiao family's wife!

Whoever loses her, they all deserve to die!

She laughed, struggled, and kowtowed to Emperor Yongping, "Your Majesty, the person who sent the match, secretly returned to Beijing, what is the charge?" What is the crime of being unfilial to his mother as a biological son? ”

Xiao Yue stood behind the blue gauze cupboard, sweating in his palms, looking through the gap, Emperor Yongping's expression was not the slightest surprise, let alone half of the gloom.

He just looked at the hysterical Ji Shi on the ground, sank for a while, and said in a low voice, "Ji Shi, I don't know what makes you so arrogant, but I want to tell you that those things about you will not be too much to make you die a hundred times." ”

"Don't say it's abandoned, you're just a chess piece, a pawn used by others, don't you want to be prosperous and rich? You name the person behind you, I promise you, I won't kill you, even if you are not the princess of Jin, I can still crown you as the wife of the country, and you still enjoy the glory and wealth. ”

Ji Shi saw Emperor Yongping's attitude, and his heart jumped, he didn't expect Emperor Yongping to value Xiao Yue so much, and for him, he would let himself go? And let yourself still live a life of honor.

She thought slowly, and Emperor Yongping sneered, "I don't have time to rub shoulders with you, should you or shouldn't?" No, I ......"

"Okay, I'll tell you." Ji's tone was very calm, but she could still see her eagerness.

Emperor Yongping looked at Ji Shi with a complicated face, this is the woman he liked at the beginning, he really deserves to die, his eyes are really blind, and he would like such a woman.

She has no resemblance to Yun Niang at all, Yun Niang is so strong, how despicable this woman is, for the sake of petty profits, she betrayed herself, let Dongli Dynasty fall into such a situation, and let her son not recognize herself.

Now, for the sake of a little glory and wealth, he wants to sell his benefactor.

While he laughed at Ji, why didn't he laugh at himself?

It's because you have eyes and no beads......

"Say it." Emperor Yongping put on a look of deafness.

Ji knelt on the ground and said slowly, "After our parents died, we were supposed to come to the capital to join our relatives, but our relatives had already moved away.

Fortunately, we have a small amount of savings, so we rented a house in a secluded place in the capital and prepared to settle down in the capital.

But the capital is big, it is not easy to live, and soon, the nurse and I will have to rely on helping people embroider and sew to live a good life.

On that day, I went to the embroidery village with the nurse to hand over things, and met a hooligan, who wanted to despise us, at this time, it was my master who saved us.

He wore a mask from the beginning and, according to him, he had a scar on his face for fear of scaring others.

None of this, to me, is nothing, the point is that he saved us, although he wears a mask and listens to voices, he is a young man.

When he knew about our difficulties, he always helped us and brought us to live in his village, always gentle and polite.

At that time, I was young, and I couldn't help but like him, and he also said that he liked me, but he couldn't marry me, he already had a wife at home, he liked me, and he couldn't bear me to be a concubine and suffer from the eldest woman.

I was really moved, at that time, even if I died for him, I was willing.

Ji slowly reminisced and fell into that impossible relationship.

Later, I slowly controlled my love, since it is impossible, then I don't love, at this time, the master suddenly said to me, since he can't give me love, can't let me enjoy a good life, but he will help me, help me get all this.

After that, he asked me to imitate Ji Yunniang, and after that, I met Xiao Yi.

I started to just think about using Xiao Yi and doing what my master commanded, but Xiao Yi, at that time, it was really love like a fire, and that kind of love melted and burned me.

I think I'm in love with Xiao Yi, how can I not love it? But God is so unfair, I fell in love with Xiao Yi, and when I wanted to live a good life with him, I even told my master frankly that I didn't want to be a chess piece.

I won't tell him about Xiao Yide again.

At this time, Xiao Yi came to accuse me, scolded me, and even brought Ji Yunniang back.

How can I be willing? But no matter how I try to redeem it, it is impossible for Xiao Yi to change his mind, and even the child can't redeem his heart.

Therefore, I contacted the master again angrily, and he ordered me to place people in Xiao Yi's army, and then the emperor wanted to drive the expedition in person, and Xiao Yi accompanied him. ”

Emperor Yongping clenched his fists tightly, all of this was his fault, and the same mistake also created his current situation.

Everything is the fault of heaven that causes the father not to be the father and the son not to be the son today.

Ji Shi said as if recalling, "When I was not married to the Jin Palace, the master would visit me every time, which proves that the courtyard is not diverse from the master's permanent residence, at least, I can play back and forth on the same day."

Every time he came over, the soles of his shoes were wet, and sometimes the hems of his clothes would get wet, so there must be water blocking the way.

The water should still be close to where I live, and if it was far away from the courtyard, the water should have dried up long ago. But the master's clothes were wet. ”

Ji recalled that she had never seen the true face of the person behind the scenes, and had no way of knowing his true identity, so she could only tell Emperor Yongping what she knew, and let him check the courtyard where she lived back then, as well as the residence of the person behind the scenes, so as to find the true identity of the person behind the scenes.

Ji Shi said, "Every spring and autumn, I will urge him to change his clothes first, for fear that he will catch a cold." ”

This further narrowed the scope, Emperor Yongping glanced at Ji, he never knew that this woman was so amazing, she was a person with a careful heart.

He sat on the edge of the old lady's bed, and the jaw head Ji continued.

"I never walked out of that yard at first, the yard is full of homely flowers and trees, I can't tell how big the yard is, but I know that it is not the only yard in it, occasionally there will be people passing by outside the yard, but they are all in a hurry, at that time, at night, I occasionally hear the sound of silk and bamboo from somewhere, I don't know if someone is learning, or something else."

Ji said with a frown.

"However, what I remember most is that there are locust flowers there, I have lived there for two years, and when the locust flowers are in full bloom, the fragrance is very strong, and it is by no means a smell that can be found by a few trees."

Emperor Yongping is combing in his heart, Xiao Yue behind the blue yarn cupboard, is also combing, this place is near the capital, it is guaranteed to be able to go back and forth a day, near the courtyard, there must be water, and there are large locust forests.

As for the voice of silk and bamboo, this is not easy to judge.

However, according to the previous points, it should not be difficult to find this place.

Here he was still thinking, and Emperor Yongping over there asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

His voice was calm, so many years ago, there was such a person plotting, what did he want to do?

At the beginning, 'he' was able to ascend the throne because the princess of the protector desperately protected him, and the princes of the first emperor had already shed blood when they were competing for the throne, and now what is left is him and the king of peace.

Could it be King Ping? Emperor Yongping frowned, King Ping was able to survive because of his absurdity.

Ji Shi frowned, and tried to recall, "Every day's food, fruits, vegetables, meat and eggs are extremely fresh, that place must not be too far from the town, otherwise, it can't be so fresh." ”

"Standing in the courtyard, you can see the mountains in the distance, which proves that this place must be backed by flash, and in the dead of night, you can occasionally hear the howl of wolves."

Ji slowly added little by little.

Behind the blue gauze cupboard, Xiao Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and he already had some ideas in his heart.

Ji Shi stopped and said, "That's all I can think of, as well as the matter over Ji Yunniang's side, Your Majesty can send it to investigate." ”

Emperor Yongping looked at Ji with an expressionless face, "Are you sure you don't have anything to say?" ”

Ji nodded affirmatively, "No." ”

Emperor Yongping was silent, glanced at the old lady, and said apologetically, "Old lady, this person is still useful to me, I want to take it away temporarily, how about it?" ”

The old lady nodded and said, "If what she does can find that person for His Majesty, then the old body has nothing to say, and she is also eliminating the karma for the Jin Palace." ”

Emperor Yongping waved his hand, and Gonggong Yu, who was standing behind him, took Ji out.

Only Emperor Yongping and the old lady were left in the house.

Emperor Yongping said in a low voice, "Old lady, I will recall Yue'er." ”

He didn't say anything else, his tone low.

The old lady closed her eyes slightly at first, as if she was dazed, slowly opened her eyelids, and looked at Emperor Yongping for a moment, but she didn't answer the question.

"Your Majesty, the old child, for the sake of Your Majesty, I went early, and the old body once complained.

But as a man, as a son of the Xiao family, he should take the safety of the world as his own responsibility.

This is the family motto of the Xiao family, and it is something that the Xiao family should abide by for generations.

Yue'er, how did he collide with His Majesty, the old body didn't dare and didn't want to ask, His Majesty was Mingjun, and the old body believed that His Majesty's punishment was for Yue'er's good.

Therefore, it is okay to let Yue'er be in southern Xinjiang, if he does not go to southern Xinjiang, how can he know that the Ji family is a chess piece, how can he know that someone is not good for Sheji? ”

The old lady's voice was sonorous and powerful, and Emperor Yongping remembered that when his father died, his mother's tears had been wiped and she had to be strong.

His eyes were red, he looked at the old woman on the bed, his figure slowly descended, and finally he fell to her knees, and knelt down firmly.

"Mother, I am Yi'er, for so many years, I really have to hide it from you."

Xiao Yue stared at Emperor Yongping who knelt down to the old lady with an expressionless face, he didn't expect Emperor Yongping to confess all this to the old lady.

The old lady seemed to have fallen into some kind of emotion of her own, as if she hadn't seen it, and let Emperor Yongping kneel like that, she was silent for a long time, and said,

"Your Majesty, when the news of Yi'er went back then, the old body hated to go with him, but I couldn't.

In the end, I thought that if I went, then this Jin Wangfu would really collapse.

And what about Yue'er?

Later, you brought Yue'er into the palace to be raised, but the old body was actually unwilling in his heart, but he knew that this was the best result at that time.

Let him be by your side, so that you can always remember Yi'er's sacrifice to save him, so that as long as Yue'er doesn't do anything wrong, the Jin Wangfu will be glorious for at least thirty years.

The Jin Palace's Mansion will not fall in the hands of the old body. The old body is also satisfied.

So, for so many years, I ignored Yue'er. Only then will you reuse him with confidence.

After so many years, I finally accepted the fact that Yi'er was not there.

Your Majesty, do you know that from the first day Lao Shen heard the news of Yi Er's death, he never thought that he would come back from the dead.

Your Majesty, the son of the old body, Xiao Yi, is dead. Your Majesty, you have now ascended the throne and become the lord of the world.

But for Yue Er, it may not be a blessing. You need to know that if you love it, you will be far away. If you don't have a son like him, then you will protect him. ”

"For so many years, the old body was wrong, that day, for the glory of the Jin Palace, Yue'er should not be allowed to enter the palace.

Your Majesty, have you ever wondered if one day his identity is known, where do you want to leave him?

When the time comes, how will Yue'er deal with herself? What will the people around Your Majesty think? ”

There was a long silence in the room again.

After a while, Emperor Yongping raised his head, gritted his teeth, and said word by word, "He is my only son, and I will never tolerate others hurting him in the slightest, the old lady can rest assured." ”

"Your Majesty Chrysostom, the grandson of the old man, thank you, Your Majesty."

The old lady sat up, and when Emperor Yongping saw this, he stretched out his hand over, but was gently blocked by the old lady.

She held on to the edge of the bed, slowly got out of bed, and finally threw herself to the ground, knelt on the ground, and made a big salute to the emperor in front of her, and made a big salute for a long time.

Emperor Yongping was still kneeling on the ground, his figure seemed to be frozen, and he looked at the old woman who was kneeling on the ground.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but after all, he didn't speak.

The old lady did not recognize him, just like his son.

There was no one by his side, and in the past, he had heard that person say that the Emperor's Road was extremely lonely and cold.

He had scoffed at it, but now he felt it.

From then on, there was only one person.

No more affection.

The inner chamber was dead silent.

He stood up and helped the old lady up, the old lady didn't want his support, but he stubbornly helped him up, let her lie on the bed, and helped her cover and fold the quilt.

This series of movements is gentle and slow, as if every movement is done to the extreme, using up all the strength of the whole body.

When everything was done and there was nothing else to do, he didn't say anything, just knelt in front of the bed again, kowtowed three times, then got up and looked deeply at the old lady on the bed with her eyes closed.

In the middle of the sound, he turned around slowly, his steps were unusually stagnant, and he walked out step by step, and when the figure was about to disappear behind the door, he paused in his footsteps and said slowly, "Yue'er, you come with me." ”

His voice, already low, was now even hoarse.

After the blue yarn cupboard, Xiao Yue pursed his lips, raised his feet, and slowly came out from behind the blue yarn cabinet, looking at Emperor Yongping expressionlessly.

He brushed up the corners of his clothes, knelt upright not far away, bowed in the direction of Emperor Yongping, and touched the ground with his forehead, "Sinner Xiao Yue, knock to see the emperor." ”

There was no echo of Emperor Yongping in the middle of the ring, and Xiao Yue kept kneeling like this, motionless.

For a long time, I only listened to Emperor Yongping, "Forgetting relatives is not filial piety." Abandonment of the king is not loyal, you call yourself a sinner, you are guilty"

"I brought you into the palace back then, how did I treat you? But for the sake of the prince, you will abandon me. Where do you get the confidence? How dare you secretly return to Beijing today? ”

"Why didn't you die in southern Xinjiang, why did you go back to Beijing?"

Emperor Yongping's voice was mocking, and he stared at Xiao Yue.

"The criminal minister returned to Beijing because of the Ji family's affairs, which involved the battle of the year, and the minister can't see the real murderer go unpunished, this is the duty of the minister."

Xiao Yue replied, his tone was as usual, without the slightest fluctuation.

The atmosphere slowly solidified.

Emperor Yongping sat on the kang, the corners of his mouth moved, as if he was sneering, but slowly, he could no longer hide his anger and sneered.

All the people did not recognize him, neither his mother nor his son, nor did they want him.

He stared at Xiao Yue who was kneeling in front of him, and sneered, the muscles in the corners of his eyes couldn't control the beating,

"Okay, good, good" He said three yes in a row, pointing at Xiao Yue, "What a minister, do you still know that you are my courtier?" In your heart, I'm afraid you would have served another monarch a long time ago, right? ”

Emperor Yongping clenched his fists with both hands, trembled slightly, and then slammed on the edge of the bed with a 'bang', leaned forward suddenly, looked down at Xiao Yue, gritted his teeth, his face was slightly distorted, and his voice seemed to roar, like an enraged lion.

Xiao Yue straightened up and looked at Emperor Yongping calmly,

"The sinner will say it again, in the heart of the sinner, only His Majesty is the king, this is the words of the heart."

He said slowly, his eyes clear, without any dodging.

Emperor Yongping's chest rose and fell slightly, and his wheezing voice gradually calmed down, and he met his eyes for a moment.

"Okay, let me believe you, I ask you again, if I really pass the throne to the crown prince, who can guarantee that he will not change his mind in the future?

Throughout the ages, for the sake of this position in the world, brothers can kill each other, what guarantee do you get, and the prince will always be consistent with you? ”

Xiao Yue looked directly at Emperor Yongping, "It's not wrong to take precautions, but it's too early for people to worry about the sky, if there is really that day, the minister, admit it, the minister will arrange everything, and he won't let his wife and children die with me." ”

Emperor Yongping raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly, "I still say that, I will wait and see." ”

He stood up, left Rong'an Hall, and left the Jin Palace, his steps seemed to bring a gust of wind.

Emperor Yongping left, Xiao Yue still knelt on the ground, until the old lady's voice came, "Yue'er, you come in." ”

Xiao Yue finally slowly moved his stiff legs, which were already kneeling, slowly got up, and walked to the old lady's bed.

Seeing her half-lying and half-leaning there, looking at herself, smiling, her heart was full of mixed feelings for a while, she threw herself on the edge of the bed, held her hand tightly, and called in a low voice, "Grandmother." ”

The old lady's five fingers were cold, but the palms of her hands were hot, "Over the years, grandmother has been sorry for you and let you grow up alone, fortunately, now that you have a thought, grandmother can be relieved." ”

Xiao Yue grabbed the old lady's hand tightly, "Grandmother, grandson doesn't blame you, you have your troubles." Grandmother can take care of her grandchildren in the future, and when the child in her belly comes out, she still needs to be taken care of by her grandmother. ”

"We don't have any children, we just hope that our grandmother will guide us."

As he spoke, his voice a little choked.

The old lady smiled slightly, "Silly child, people have to leave sooner or later, grandmother is now at this age, and all the blessings that can be enjoyed in the world have been enjoyed, Niannian is a good child, you must treat her well." Otherwise, grandmother won't be able to spare you. ”

She turned her hand and held Xiao Yue's hand tightly, and said, "Your father's matter, grandmother knows that you can't accept it, but it is your father, even if grandmother thinks he is dead, but he is still alive after all."

That's fine, after all, my grandmother didn't have a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. ”

She was in a coma, she heard what Emperor Yongping said beside his bedside, she thought it was a dream, but she didn't expect it to be true, at that time, she was so shocked, she hated to come forward and hug her child who came back from the dead, touch his face, and feel his truth.

But she can't!!

Her child, Xiao Yi, died more than ten years ago, and the one in front of her is the emperor of the Lin family and the lord of the world.

He is no longer her son, the child of the Xiao family.

The old lady endured the grief in her heart, she didn't dare to look at Emperor Yongping, and she didn't even dare to stay with him for a while.

The old lady retracted her thoughts, her expression suddenly became serious and abnormal, and said, "Your identity, if one day the world knows it, it will be very embarrassing, grandmother only hopes that you will be able to survive in the future, you are the Xiao family, you don't forget." ”

Xiao Yue knelt in front of the bed and said solemnly, "Grandmother, don't worry, although the grandson was mixed in the past, he didn't dare to forget the Xiao family's family motto for a day, as long as he was in one day, he would not fall into the reputation of the Xiao family." ”

The old lady stared at him, and a smile gradually appeared on her lips, "In this way, grandmother will be relieved." ”

After speaking, she slowly covered her eyelids, as if she was tired, and fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Yue looked at the old man who was lying on the pillow and had closed peacefully, his eyes were red, and he didn't blink his eyes for a long time, and his figure seemed to be frozen by this time.

In the twenty-second year of Chengping, this winter, the snow fell very early, and the soldiers guarding the Xihua Gate of the capital lit a charcoal fire at the head of the city early, and several people surrounded the charcoal stove to keep warm, complaining about the cold weather.

Suddenly, a city guard who was checking in the distance shouted, "There's a wagon coming outside." ”

A few people who were warming up, and sure enough, in the heavy snow, on the official road leading to the capital, a team of carriages was galloping, and after a while, they arrived outside the city gate.

Someone shouted to open the door.

"But Princess Jin has arrived?"

The chief of the guard guarding the city gate received an order from above in a few days, saying that the princess of Jin might return to Beijing in the next few days, so that everyone could pay attention.

At this moment, seeing that it was a carriage coming, he immediately asked a loud question.

"Exactly."

Then the person who led the horse threw over a sign in his hand, and the chief of the guard took it, which turned out to be the token of Gu Shi'an, the king of Su.

The chief of the guard hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the door, and the group entered the city gate, headed in the direction of the Jin Palace, and rode away.

……

Gu Nian received a letter from Xiao Yue a month and a half ago, explaining the situation, and said that the old lady was no longer good.

She immediately packed her luggage and was about to go back to Beijing, but her belly was already big at the moment, and the eldest princess refused to let her go back to Beijing.

Xiao Yue also asked her not to go back, but how could she not go back.

It's easy to say, obsessed and coquettish, the eldest princess of the protector is angry, and in the end, it was Gu Shi'an, saying that he escorted Gu Nian back to Beijing, and the eldest princess of the protector then slowly cleaned up and returned to Beijing.

Gu Nian also knew that she was too tormented, and she was even more sorry for her grandmother's concern, but she was worried about Xiao Yue.

The carriage stopped in front of the door of the Jin Palace, and I saw a slender figure standing at the gate of the palace, draped in a big hat.

The snow fell on his shoulders and on his brows.

When he saw the carriage, his eyes lit up and he hurried forward.

"Ah Yue."

Gu Nian opened the curtain and saw Xiao Yue standing in front of the carriage, and before she could finish calling, her voice was choked.

Xiao Yue looked at her and carefully carried her out of the carriage, wanting to take her into his arms and kiss her forehead.

But thinking that his body was full of wind and cold, he just draped the big coat on her body, wrapped it around her, and said, "Let's go in." ”

The funeral report of the death of the old lady of the Jin Wangfu was sent to all the mansions in the capital that night.
