The Queen Mother took Zhu Yuan in her arms, smiled slightly, touched Zhu Yuan's head with pity, and said with some emotion: "Yes, you are still like this as a mother, not to mention Yuan Yuan, for more than half a year, how difficult it has been for her, first Concubine Gong, then the epidemic, and then the envoy to Wara, she not only has to bear the same pressure and worry as you, but also has to guard this home for her husband, she is really not easy." ”

The Queen Mother has been more and more fond of saying such things recently, and Empress Wei has already heard it with calloused ears.

But she doesn't feel unhappy about it now, after all, she has seen what Zhu Yuan has done for so long, and it is rare for Zhu Yuan to be able to do this.

Therefore, she nodded gently, followed by a few words of praise, her eyes fell on Zhu Yuan, and asked her again: "By the way, you went out of the palace today because of your mother's sister's courtesy, and everything went well?" ”

When it came to the ceremony, Zhu Yuan hesitated.

But she quickly reacted, there is no need to hide many things and can't hide them, Zhu Yun's poisoning of her mother-in-law and torture of her concubine to death is too big, and this matter is basically shocking to everyone, even if you don't say it, sooner or later it will reach everyone's ears.

So she straightened up and whispered about her being stopped on the frame today, and said at the end: "The Yi family said that I was shielding Zhu Yun, but I didn't have any friendship with Zhu Yun, and I even had some grudges in the past, not to mention that I wouldn't help her, even if there was really such a thing that I knew, I would never interfere indiscriminately, this matter should be someone deliberately misleading and provoking the Yi family behind my back." ”

The Queen Mother's face became a little ugly.

Empress Wei also scolded in disgust, and couldn't help but say: "Who is so bad-hearted, the people of Tingchuan have just entered the capital, and the door of the East Palace has not yet entered, so something like this happened, isn't this someone deliberately slapping him in the face?!" ”

This is really unbearable for Empress Wei.

She is now very protective of everything about Chu Tingchuan.

The Queen Mother thought more than Empress Wei, although this matter looked like it was going to slap the face of the East Palace, but everyone knew that Chu Tingchuan was in the grassland during the time of the accident.

And Zhu Yuan is really in the capital.

It was Zhu Yuan's cousin who had the accident.

The real purpose of the person behind it, the object of the attack, is not someone else, it should be Zhu Yuancai.

She glanced at Zhu Yuan with some concern, and said coldly: "Since you haven't done it, no matter what kind of charm he is, is it possible that he can still put his hat on your head out of nothing?" The prince has just come back, and now there are rumors and rumors, vainly trying to splash sewage on the East Palace, which is really unbearable, you can rest assured, this matter is by no means your fault, and the mourning family will definitely let the emperor give you a correct explanation and return your innocence. ”

Zhu Yuan knew the queen mother's intentions, and she detained this matter to death every word, saying that she was targeting the East Palace.

In this way, the nature of the matter is much more serious.

Second, if Empress Wei is small-minded, she will not think that she is dragging Chu Tingchuan down in this matter.

She really likes the queen mother's personality, and couldn't help but softly shouted to the imperial grandmother: "Thank you." ”

The Queen Mother just smiled and shook her head.

The group waited for more than two hours, seeing that it was time to eat lunch, and that they could have dinner if they waited any longer, the Queen Mother finally couldn't hold back, and asked people to go to the Taiji Hall to ask what was going on.

Aunt Weng went and returned, and then said to the Queen Mother: "Your Highness was left in the imperial study to discuss with the adults, I asked, and said that I am afraid it will not be so fast." ”

"It's been this hour, not so fast?!" The Queen Mother was a little dissatisfied: "People are iron and rice are steel, how can you do it without eating?" ”

Aunt Weng couldn't help but laugh: "Look at what your old man said, is it possible that our saint can still feel sorry for his son?" At noon today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was dining with the Holy One. ”

The Queen Mother frowned, but she had no choice but to continue waiting.

Fortunately, the fourth and fifth princesses came over after a while, knowing that Chu Tingchuan was back, they all came to wait to see their brother.

Anyway, she still has a little conscience, the Queen Mother nodded, thinking of the Seventh Prince, and couldn't help frowning.

What Weng Gu said was right, it was almost in the evening that there was movement on the side of the Taiji Palace, saying that Chu Tingchuan had already left over

The Queen Mother suddenly became excited, and hurriedly asked people to watch and come back to report the news.

Although Zhu Yuan didn't speak, his heart had already been pinched.

Not long after, Aunt Weng excitedly shouted His Royal Highness outside, followed by Chu Tingchuan's figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes, he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, he had changed greatly, in addition to being a little darker, he was also stronger, when he walked in, he had a wind on his body, and a pair of eyes were blazing.

This is the kind of momentum that only people who have been on the battlefield can have, and the fourth and fifth princesses were all stunned at once, and they didn't dare to call someone immediately.

It was the Queen Mother who shouted Xiao Wu and cried: "You can be regarded as back!" ”

Chu Tingchuan strode forward and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother and Empress Wei, and couldn't help but reddened his eyes: "Imperial grandmother! Queen mother! The unfilial grandson makes you worried, and the grandson kowtows to you! ”

Empress Wei couldn't help crying, and stepped forward to hug him: "You kid, you're worried about me!" Get up! Get up! ”

She pulled Chu Tingchuan to stand up, and when she saw that he was much darker, she couldn't help but cry again, how much suffering she had suffered.

Chu Tingchuan was pulled by Empress Wei to look left and right, but his heart had already flown to Zhu Yuan on the other side.

He turned his head to look at Zhu Yuan, but he couldn't take his eyes off after just one glance.

This is the most important spiritual support he has gone through so many hardships, and it is for her that he has supported until now.

Suddenly he couldn't say anything.

Empress Wei also pulled him to ask long and short questions, Zhu Yuan stood on the side, and could vaguely see a hideous scar behind his ear, and his eyes immediately turned red, he must have suffered a lot.

Or did the Queen Mother feel that Empress Wei was talking too much, and urged her: "Okay, okay, you pull him and ask him non-stop, how can he talk?" As soon as he came back, he went to the Taiji Hall to talk with him, and now he hasn't gone back to change his clothes, let him go back to rest and rest, and then let him come over for dinner in the evening. ”

He said to Chu Tingchuan again: "Your daughter-in-law has suffered a lot of sins for you, you have to comfort and comfort her, go ahead, come back later in the evening,"

Chu Tingchuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
