"Imperial Grandmother An!" Xuanyuan Tao was dressed in a plain light gray Confucian shirt, and his long hair was tied only with a headband, looking like a flat-headed common man in cloth, and he could no longer find a trace of royal luxury. At the first sight of the Queen Mother, she bowed deeply, arched her hands over the top, prostrate on the ground, and kowtowed in a proper manner.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, a trace of deep pity flashed in her eyes, and her tone was amiable: "Tao'er, don't be polite, get up." ”

Xuanyuan Tao still kowtowed respectfully for three times before he stood up and stood in the corner with his eyebrows lowered.

"Tao'er, later, the mourning family will restore your father's position as the prince, so you don't have to cower anymore, and do the grass people's courtesy. The queen mother sighed and said with emotion: "Come, come to my grandmother, in order to fish out the fine work of the remnants of Liaohu, the grandson of the mourning family has suffered!"

"Grandmother Xie Huang is worried. Xuanyuan Tao's face was full of pious gratitude, "The position of the prince is not in a hurry to recover, I just ask my grandmother to tell my grandson, who is Xizuo?

"I don't know yet," the Empress Dowager shook her head slowly, picked up the jade Ruyi on the Wanfu gold embroidered brocade plate, and skillfully rubbed it gently, "It's strange to say, the few people I caught are really genuine Liaohu meticulous works!

"So, the clue is broken?!" Xuanyuan Tao didn't realize his gaffe's sharp voice, his eyes burned at the Queen Mother, and he spoke quickly, "The Liaohu people living in the untouchable area can't sneak into my prince's mansion study and hide the map of the southern Xinjiang army! Therefore, there must be high-ranking people hiding around us, so that they can cooperate seamlessly with the remnants of Liaohu!"

"Yes, the opinion of the mourning family is the same," the queen mother's tone was still calm, and she carefully looked at the jade Ruyi who was rubbed by her every day, "Several Liaohu people have been tortured until they died, and no one was recruited. Without any clues, there is no way to find out who is behind the scenes!"

"Ask the emperor's grandmother, let your grandson track it down!" Xuanyuan Tao gritted his teeth and knelt down suddenly, "Grandson will find out that person and return my reputation! Grandson will do everything to find out that person, break the bones and scatter ashes, and solve the hatred in his heart!!"

"Tao'er, if you insist on tracking, as soon as you step out of the mourning family's Yannian Palace, no one will know that you are the fifth prince. It will take time to track down, and the top priority at the moment is to first clear your five princes' treason charges," the queen mother gently reminded, "If the people all think that you are a traitor and traitor, you can only hide your name in the future, and you are willing to be a grass citizen? ”

"If you let the thieves get away with it right under your nose, you will put my Xuanyuan clan on the charcoal fire," Xuanyuan Tao raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother firmly, "Grandson is willing to lose everything, and he vows to dig out the thieves!"

"Okay!" I don't know when, the emperor was already standing in front of the palace gate, and at this time he walked in, stood in front of Xuanyuan Tao, lowered his head, and looked at it quietly, trying his best to suppress the resentful Xuanyuan Tao on his face, "My fifth prince, in the gossip of the outside world, is already a traitor who has fallen into prison for a short time. You go to investigate, God doesn't know it, it's the most appropriate!"

"Thank you, Emperor Father!" Xuanyuan Tao kowtowed respectfully, "The son will not fail in his mission!"

"Go, my father is waiting for your good news. The emperor's eyes were dark, and he looked at the back of Xuanyuan Tao leaving respectfully, and was silent for a long time.

"Emperor, are you, do you want this son?" The queen mother waved her hand to let all the palace maids retreat, and then picked up the teacup and handed it to the silent emperor, "Tao'er is gone, even if his fortune is big enough, he can come back with all beards and tails, his name as the fifth prince has been completely infamous for 10,000 years, and he can no longer be the emperor and grandson of the mourning family......"

Seeing that the emperor silently took a sip of tea and did not intend to answer, the empress dowager sighed lightly: "Son, your son, my grandson, there is not much left!"

The son knew it. The emperor's eyebrows jumped, and he said lightly, "The New Year is approaching, the queen mother can have her favorite objects, and her sons and daughters are good to find them early." ”

"The mourning family doesn't want anything, I just want the family to be neat and tidy, and celebrate this New Year's Festival lively. The queen mother's low murmur was vaguely pleading, "Son, the mourning family is old, I only wish that the children and grandchildren will be full, and I don't want the white-haired people to send the black-haired people anymore......"

"Erchen understands. As soon as the emperor bowed his head, he did not answer the queen mother's request, so he changed the topic, "The queen mother relaxes, this year's ministers will definitely be lively." Erchen has issued an order to let the selected nobles enter the palace today. ”

"Okay, good," the queen mother closed her eyes, hiding the helpless desolation in her eyes, "The imperial city has not been visited for a long time, and now, the palace will be lively for a while." ”

Three days later, the Queen Mother sat on the seat of Luan, who was accustomed to drinking tea to welcome the rising sun, drooping her eyes, listening to the whispers of the close grandmother with her eyebrows flying.

"Xi Concubine Le Concubine, one is good at splendid butterfly dance, and the other is proficient in various musical instruments; Huan nobles will hum and comment on books, Xin nobles will sing big operas, Yu nobles will chant poems and make pairs, Yue nobles will write inscriptions and paintings, "Carry Ying a sip of white sideburns, a clapp, and a cheerful voice, "The nobles who entered the palace this time are all beautiful women who have been selected by thousands of people, all of them are like flowers and jade, and they are pleasing to the eye!"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes quietly, as if she was wholeheartedly feeling the temperature of the rising sun, and she didn't seem to listen to a word of what she said.

"Queen Mother, haven't you seen those people who are as fresh as flowers and bones, the slave and maid only glanced at them, and they were very happy in their hearts!"

"Wait. The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, looking at Xieying's eyes were cold, without the slightest warmth bathed in the bright sunshine, "Mourning family, I don't want to see these little girls again." With Ying, can you understand that looking at the delicate and vibrant flowers and trees, you can feel the sadness and sadness of the flowers and trees withering?!"

Xieying put away the happy smile on her face and sighed in frustration: "The slave understands, but if you can't even see the flowers blooming, what's the difference between that and living in a cold palace?"

As soon as the words came out, he knelt down with a puff and kowtowed repeatedly: "The slave and maid should die! The slave and maid said the wrong thing! I beg the queen mother to spare the slave and maid!"
