"Zhao Qu greets the imperial grandmother!" Zhao Qu said respectfully, "After all these years, I haven't asked the imperial grandmother to say goodbye, and today I see the imperial grandmother's spirit shining, just like a few years ago, and I am very happy to call my grandson!" ”

Although Zhao Qu is a concubine, after all, he is still his own grandson, and the Queen Mother still laughed from the bottom of her heart: "Qu'er has grown up!" Grown into a big boy! Come here, come to the Emperor's grandmother! ”

Zhao Qu respectfully came to the Queen Mother's side and sat down, and the Queen Mother touched his face and smiled: "It's sixteen this year, how handsome you look!" You were still chubby when you left, and now you have grown into a beautiful man, look how energetic! Since you're back, don't go back, let your father arrange something for you to do in the capital, after all, it's your own father and son, where is there an overnight feud, those things back then, you were just a child, and you've suffered all these years! ”

"What the imperial grandmother said, Qu'er doesn't feel bitter, she has learned a lot of things over the years, and now she can help her father when she comes back!" Zhao Qu said, "Qu'er is still very happy in her heart! ”

"You haven't seen you for a few years, and you've become a lot more sensible!" The Queen Mother smiled, "Where do you live now?" ”

"I live at my grandfather's house!" Zhao Qu said.

"Since the capital has its own home, what is it to go to live in my grandfather's house, go back to the Chu Palace, let's say that this is what the imperial grandmother meant, after all these years, you should also go home!" The Queen Mother smiled.

"Yes!"

The Queen Mother pulled Zhao Qu and asked him about some things in recent years, as if the estrangement in the past few years did not exist.

Zhao Qu had a smile on his face, answering all questions about the Queen Mother's words, but there was a burst of coldness in his heart, if he really felt sorry for his grandson, why hadn't he brought a word over the years? Just because she is not a descendant, she will never be able to compare to Zhao Ling in her eyes.

He wants to ask his father to take a look, and let the emperor's grandmother take a look, he will not be a little worse than Zhao Ling!

After having dinner with the queen mother, it was already evening when I left the palace, and the carriage of the Chu Wangfu was waiting at the gate of the palace, and the people on the side of the car hugged their fists and said: "Second son, the prince asked his subordinates to take you there!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Qu nodded and got into the carriage.

The carriage jolted for a while before it stopped, and it was already completely dark, the curtain was opened, and the people outside said, "It's here!" ”

Zhao Qu got out of the car, looked at this ordinary courtyard, after entering, several nursing homes gave him a fist salute, he then entered a room, in which two mothers-in-law greeted him, and then retreated, he looked at the furnishings in the house, although it was simple but not simple, clean and atmospheric.

The bright bronze mirror has no ornaments in front of it, and it doesn't look like a woman's boudoir.

His gaze moved to the bed, looking at the woman lying on the bed, his expression froze for a moment, she was still so beautiful, and she didn't seem to be the same as when he left.

"Ruyan, you didn't think I would come back one day, did you?" Zhao Qu sat down on the edge of the bed, his fingertips gently rubbing his unconscious cheeks, "When you left me young and chose my eldest brother, what happened to you?" Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to ridicule you, I just didn't think it was worth it, after all, you didn't leave a trace in your eldest brother's heart, and the reason why you are still taking care of you now is just for the sake of your dead sister! ”

"You know what? It was a desolate place, hot and humid, and there were tons of bugs, you know, the ones I dread the most! Zhao Qu said softly, "But I still gritted my teeth and endured it, because I want to get ahead, I want to be able to stand by Zhao Ling's side one day in the future, as long as I don't rely on the Chu Palace, Zhao Ling will not be able to suppress me, and at that time, all of you'll not only focus on Zhao Ling's body, then you will know what a wrong choice you made to leave me at the beginning!" ”

"I depend on my mother for my life, but my mother died of illness, but it can also be said that she was killed, do you know who killed her? I knew that although they were doing a very stealthy job, I was not the same person I used to be, so I came back desperately because I wanted to avenge my mother! Zhao Qu said and laughed, "I said so much, can't you hear anything?" You are so beautiful, so moving, how can you lie in bed for the rest of your life and let your face wither so meaninglessly? ”

He looked at the hazy light and the cool moonlight outside the window, and suddenly turned around and smiled: "For the sake of the previous master-servant relationship, I'll help you one last time!" ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Ruyan's neck, and wanted to strangle her to death with a hideous face, but Ruyan, who had no resistance, could only let him pinch until her face gradually turned red, and then slowly lost her breath.

He kissed her on the forehead and smiled slightly: "Sleep well, if there is a next life, you come to me, I will take care of you and protect you, I will do what I say!" ”

He got up and walked out of the room, his face unusual.

Outside the courtyard, the carriage was still in place, and he got into it, but there was one more person inside.

"You're trying to scare me to death!" Zhao Qu patted his chest and said, "Why don't you even say hello?" ”

"You've seen it, I'm also working on what you've asked for, when will you start fulfilling your promise?" Zhao Ling asked lightly.

"What's the hurry, this is not an overnight thing!" Zhao Qu said and took off a piece of jade pendant from his neck, "Let your henchman, take this to Yuecheng and find a person called the charter, and he will arrange the rest of the matter!" ”

Zhao Ling took the jade pendant, and at this time, the voices of the two mothers-in-law came from inside the house: "Dead man, dead man!" The girl is dead! ”

Zhao Ling's eyes narrowed and asked, "You killed her?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Qu said lightly, "Lying like this, lying without any consciousness, it doesn't mean anything to her, the reason why you do this is not that you really want to take care of her, but you don't want to have anything wrong with your morality, since you are so hypocritical, I will help you and free her, and I won't let your conscience go over, should you thank me?" ”

"I didn't think you'd do anything to her!" Zhao Ling said coldly.

"Don't look so bitter and hateful, you're not so angry, you know in your heart that I'm doing this for her good!" Zhao Qu smiled, "You still can't remember that she and her sister came to our Chu Palace, she was divided in my courtyard, at that time, I felt that I had never seen such a beautiful young lady, I also said at that time, when I grow up, let him be my concubine!" But later, after her sister died, you asked her over, the key is her, so happily went to your side, there was no souvenir at all, I knew at that time that I couldn't compare to you in my life! ”

"And what do you want?" Zhao Ling asked coldly.

"Nothing, what can I do? I don't have the identity of a descendant, I don't have the favor of my father, even the imperial grandmother, I am just a dispensable person, my identity is not as good as you, my ability is not as good as you, and even my luck is not as good as you, what can I do? Zhao Qu laughed, "Big brother, what do you think I can do?" ”

"Let's go!" Zhao Qu laughed, "You don't have to suspect that I have evil intentions, I won't do it for the time being, and I really want to cooperate with you!" And I'll move back tomorrow, I hope my eldest brother won't dislike me! ”

"As long as you don't cause trouble, no one will dislike you!" Zhao Ling said lightly.

Following.

The funeral in Jiangfu is still going on in an orderly manner.

Zhao Ling helped Jiang Xiaoyu up and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired?" The face is not very good! ”

"There are so many things, I can't let the third aunt do it alone, I should also help some!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "It's a little tired, but it's been these two days, and it's gone soon!" ”

"Let's go to the backyard and rest first!" Zhao Ling said, "You don't have to be here either!" ”

"Several people in the clan want to see you, you can talk to them later, after all, they all regard you as a nobleman!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, "I'll go for a walk in the garden!" ”

"Good!"

After a while, the second prince and Zhao Qian came to mourn, this Zhao Yan is hot now, as soon as he appeared, he naturally became the focus, and the people who came and went rushed to see him, so that this funeral had a mutated taste.

Zhao Yan was disgusted with these people's faces, and he didn't want to let the good funeral become an occasion for these people to flatter, so after offering incense to the old lady, he hid in the backyard.

And Zhao Ling, as a son-in-law, naturally did not have such a willful right, so he had to be surrounded by these people, coping with it in a few words, and even pulling Zhao Qian to his side to block the knife.

It's not the first time to look for Jiangfu Zhao Yan, originally to hide quietly, but he didn't expect to see Jiang Xiaoyu's figure under the tree by the lake, he paused for a moment, and still walked towards her, since she got married, they haven't spoken.

"Are you okay?" Zhao Yan asked.

Jiang Xiaoyu turned around, slightly surprised, and asked, "Second prince?" Why are you here? ”

"It's too noisy outside, come and hide!" Zhao Yan stood behind Jiang Xiaoyu, "What about you?" Are you okay? ”

"That's what you're asking about?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

Zhao Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Both!" ”

"I'm not very sad about my grandmother's death, but it's expected! What kind of mourning is so changeable that I don't use it in me, but I've heard it countless times! Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "As for the marriage with Zhao Ling, he treats me very well, I am very happy!" ”

"That's good!" Zhao Yan's lips moved, and finally he was silent for a while and repeated, "That's good!" ”
