Xue Chongyin was extremely frustrated.

He knew that A-Niang came to Cui's Mansion for him. When he grew so big, it was the first time he saw his mother come to the house to mourn. Cui Jiulang shouted in the courtyard and asked the princess what he had eaten for his aunt, and he was full of excitement.

When Qiu Guo answered, the four of them were taken out of the flower hall, and he tried to comfort Cui Shi Niangzi, but Cui Shi Niangzi just saluted politely and hid in the mourning hall, Cui Qilang and his people thoughtfully entertained Yin'er, and he never had a chance to see Cui Shi Niangzi alone.

He knew that nothing was possible.

Back at the princess's mansion, Yin'er knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Mengxi, "My son is not filial, so I let A-Niang be wronged!" ”

"Get up, in your own house, what are you doing on your knees." Shen Mengxi was so tired that he crooked on the Luohan couch, "It's just a little bad, the problem is not in our house, Mrs. Fang almost didn't even drink water in the princess's mansion, it was because of themselves." ”

"Huh? Has the cause of death been identified? What is the reason? "Yin'er is very concerned about the affairs of the Cui family.

"Why...... The jury is still out. However, Cui Shi Niangzi has been filial piety for three years, and the Cui family has already knotted their hearts, so I am afraid that your marriage will ......"

Yin'er bowed her head.

"I understand." For a long time, Yin'er squeezed out a sentence.

******

The ginkgo avenue of Qingyun Villa, the ginkgo biloba is already more than a zhang high, the branches and leaves are dense, the small fan leaves, the yellow and green are half-mixed, and the flesh-colored fruits are faintly visible.

In the autumn of this year, Emperor Wu came to Qingyun Villa again. It was very hasty, like a willful temporary decision, and he didn't bring the Zhang brothers.

Shen Mengxi helped her walk on the fallen leaves, the trunk of the ginkgo tree had turned black, and there were only a few leaves on the branches, still stubbornly resisting the autumn wind. Emperor Wu suddenly squatted down, grabbed a handful of golden leaves, raised them into the air, and smiled like a child.

Shen Mengxi looked embarrassed, Emperor Wu faltered, she probably realized that two hundred years old, no, a hundred years old is impossible.

In the blue sky and yellow leaves, Emperor Wu was lying on a rocking chair, the rocking chair rustled the fallen leaves, and Shen Mengxi ordered people to pull silk cloth in the north to block the autumn wind. In the swaying, Emperor Wu fell into a dream in a trance, and muttered a mother in his mouth.

After a long time, she slowly opened her cloudy eyes and beckoned Shen Mengxi to pass, Shen Mengxi squatted in front of the rocking chair and held Emperor Wu's hand.

"Yue'er, being an emperor is actually very boring." Emperor Wu said with a smile.

Shen Mengxi nodded, yes, I was locked up in the palace all day, I couldn't go anywhere, I was tied up in national affairs, I had no personal time, what was the point of being an emperor.

"Especially the female emperor." Emperor Wu's tone was stunned.

Shen Mengxi also smiled, "Ah Niang, the emperor is so beautiful, and other women don't understand it, how do you know if what Ah Niang said is true or false." ”

"It's true, yin and yang are not in place, it's very hard." Emperor Wu looked at the high sky and white clouds, "A-Niang is tired." A-Niang has walked through the lows and highs in her life, and it is very hard. ”

Emperor Wu said two "very hard" in a row, and there were infinite memories in his eyes.

"A-Niang suffered when she was a child, and she didn't want Yue'er to eat it again, A-Niang arranged a smooth road for you, and your third brother will take care of you in the future. A-Niang wants to be a man in the next life. Emperor Wu muttered, "Be a man, don't be an emperor, be free, mountains and rivers, and walk in all directions." How wonderful! Shen Mengxi took a blanket and covered it on Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu still said to himself, "When I was young, I couldn't do anything, Mei Niang only thought that if she could live as much as she wanted, it would be good." But no. Now that it's at the top, it's still not good. ”

Shen Mengxi's eyes were moist, and he faintly felt that Emperor Wu's time was short.

"What should I do, my imperial tomb has not been repaired yet." Emperor Wu finally said this, and fell into a deep sleep, frowning.

Emperor Wu has always believed that he can live to be two hundred years old, so he has not built the imperial tomb well, and after secretly selecting the site, he only started construction slowly, and it was not until the last two years that he began to grasp the process.

After this time, Shen Mengxi rarely saw Emperor Wu, and when he returned to Miyagi, he was the sphere of influence of the Zhang brothers. A strong and stubborn person like Emperor Wu, once he has a certain understanding of people, it is difficult to change, just as Emperor Wu has always thought that Taiping is naïve, loves luxury, and needs her to arrange her life, Emperor Wu has always felt that the Zhang brothers are poor and lovely children, she trusts them and dotes on them.

Of course, it is also possible that Emperor Wu is old and has cognitive disorders.

The poor and lovely Zhang brothers are in their final madness, they prevent the prime minister from meeting Emperor Wu and take control of the government, but the army they can control is limited, only the forbidden army in the palace.

Shen Qi reported to Shen Mengxi that the DPRK and the Chinese group secretly united and gathered troops in an attempt to force the palace. Shen Mengxi asked the Zhang brothers if they had any rebellion, and Shen Qi replied that he had not found out.

Shen Mengxi ordered everyone in the whole house to act cautiously.

A month later, Song Jing in the imperial history played a concert and asked Emperor Wu to investigate the corruption and rebellion of the Zhang brothers, and the next day he replied that Song Jing would review other cases and ask Cui Shenqing, the secretary of the criminal department, to ask the case.

Shen Mengxi suspected that this twist and turn was not approved by Emperor Wu at all.

Cui Shenqing tried the case, and the hand of the case was so muddy, and a month later, the case was destroyed due to the destruction of important witness evidence, and it was not resolved.

At the end of the year, Emperor Wu fell ill again, Shen Mengxi rushed to visit the patient, Emperor Wu was lying on the couch, his spirit was extremely poor, but he was conscious.

On a night when the north wind was howling, a forbidden army took the lead in attacking the palace, opened the gate of the palace, washed the palace city with blood, and killed the forbidden army led by the Zhang brothers. Subsequently, Prime Minister Zhang Cambodia, Cui Bi and others led the Yulin Army to welcome Li Xian into the palace.

Outside the Ziwei Palace, he killed Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong on the spot, and broke into the Jixian Palace to coerce Emperor Wu to abdicate.

On the second day, the news came that Li Xian was in prison.

Shen Mengxi sat in the study and did not move for a long time.

Emperor Wu wanted to be strong all his life, but in the end he was usurped by his most cowardly son.

Emperor Wu may have been born to love power, or he may have been unwilling to be manipulated, so he came to this day step by step. However, because of the imperial power, the royal family is fighting each other and killing each other, which is really disgusting.

At night, Shen Mengxi meditated and couldn't be calm.

She imagined that the sick Emperor Wu watched her son who she despised the most lead people into the palace and threaten her to abdicate. In the past few years of her aging, she has no control over the overall situation. This is the sorrow that all people, all those in high positions will face in their old age.

The last time I went to visit the patient, Emperor Wu actually asked her to open her private treasury, give half of her belongings to Shen Mengxi, and give the other half to the Zhang brothers, and told Shen Mengxi to take more care of these two poor children in the future, if she is gone, others will definitely bully them.

Shen Mengxi can't protect the Zhang brothers who died, and Emperor Wu can't protect them, how can she protect them.

Shen Mengxi finished meditating and recalled all the interactions with Emperor Wu over the years, in fact, with her four brothers, Emperor Wu should love her very much, but she didn't have so much time and energy, like an ordinary mother, she often took care of her daughter lovingly. And Shen Mengxi, for Emperor Wu, is more afraid than close, she can perceive Emperor Wu's sincere protection, but with preconceived cognition, she always feels that Emperor Wu is ruthless, and he doesn't dare to get too close, and he is just trying to be a fool for peace.

After a night of chaotic dreams, Shen Mengxi didn't know how to judge the mother-daughter relationship with Emperor Wu.
