After King Yan entered Beijing, he only entered the palace yesterday to meet the emperor, and did not enter the harem.

He came back to serve the sick because the queen was seriously ill.

When Weng heard that her son was coming, although she was still kneeling in front of the Buddha, her eyes glanced out of the door from time to time. Now, only the maids around her who are still willing to serve her are the maids around her, and when she was in the Beiyuan Palace, she followed her Aman.

"Your Highness is here!" Ah Man is not young anymore, he has guarded the princess all these years, refuses to marry, depends on the princess for his life, and also regards the little master as his life.

Finally, Weng couldn't hold it anymore, she got up, walked to the door, leaned against the door frame and watched. Zhao Di stepped into the palace gate, although the cold palace was not dilapidated, but it was as cold as a nunnery, Zhao Di's heart ached, he ran two steps quickly, and knelt down.

Weng hugged his son, relatively speechless, only a thousand tears.

"I heard that you are back, and your aunt has made a lot of pastries. When you leave the palace for a while, take some out. Weng took his son's hand and told him to get up.

Back then, the girl who was dressed in red, riding on a tall horse, holding a horse lance, and was going to fight with Emperor Jiayou for 500 rounds was no longer arrogant.

Only the tenacity of being a mother remains.

In the cold palace, there are only simple furniture. Ah Man used two white porcelain bowls to make two bowls of tea, the tea leaves were old tea, the soup was dull and had no tea taste.

"Why should a mother suffer herself? Children have their own security strategies. Zhao Di took a sip, it was really hard to swallow, but he still drank the tea cleanly.

Concubine Yuan smiled and asked, "What is the situation on the Beiyuan side now?" ”

"The child captured Naier and did not spend it, he has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, although the Northern Yuan is dead, but the strength still exists, in the next few years, the emperor will definitely use troops against the Northern Yuan, if the emperor's decision is implemented, this force will definitely be disintegrated."

Concubine Yuan smiled and nodded, "The emperor's decision-making is wise, and the world is unified, regardless of whether it is high or low, it is the blessing of the people." It's just that it's hard for me. The queen is seriously ill, and you should visit her first. ”

Zhao Di said with a smile, "The child is not from the queen, and she has no family affection, even if she rushes over, it is just a show, and now, the two emperor brothers are all staying there, and the child can't squeeze in if he goes, so it's better to see his mother first." ”

It is rare for mother and son to have such a warm moment, and Ah Man opened up for dinner, "Your Highness will stay for dinner, right?" ”

"It's been a long time since I've eaten Aunt Man's cooking." Zhao Di took off his ruthless mask and snuggled up to his mother's side, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Concubine Yuan is also rarely happy.

Back then, she didn't want children, and if she had a child like this, it would hurt the child. To this day, it is still the case, but she does not regret it, she only feels that no matter how much she suffers in this life, with a child, she has not come to this world in vain.

Concubine Yuan originally ate fasting, but today in order to accompany her son, she asked Ah Man not to cook vegetarian dishes. Ah Man was also happy, and asked for some mutton, sliced the meat, first roasted a plate of roasted mutton, stewed the leg of mutton, boiled a pot of soup, and put the gnocchi into it.

At the end of the Shen period, Emperor Jiayou didn't have the intention of going to eat, Cao Ruyi was very worried, looked in several times, and the emperor was still leaning on the pillow to read. There was no need to eat, it was getting late, Cao Ruyi stepped forward with a smile, "Your Majesty, you should be hungry now, right?" ”

Emperor Jiayou put down the book, put his hands together and glanced out the window, "Concubine Yuan asked for a leg of mutton over there?" ”

"Yes, the man from the imperial dining room said that he picked the fattest one and gave it there."

"I'm going to meet the Queen!"

Concubine Yuan had just put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked for a cup of tea, when an unknown little eunuch came, hurriedly, finished the salute, and said without waiting for the call, "Lord Wang, little Ma Sanbao, on the edge of the East Corner Gate, the general surnamed Zhao next to the prince has something urgent to report to the prince." ”

"What's the urgency?" King Yan didn't want to go out a little, if he could, he wanted to stay with his mother tonight.

Ma Sanbao was silent for a while, "General Zhao didn't say anything, but, a little thought, since General Zhao has found the palace, there must be something big." ”

Concubine Yuan gently rubbed her son's back, she didn't know that between mother and son, when they saw each other, there would be one less side, "You go, see what is going on, you can still enter the palace tomorrow, tomorrow, the mother concubine will make you a snack." ”

"I don't like snacks." Zhao Di stood up, saluted his mother, and left.

Concubine Yuan beckoned to Aman, and Aman poked her head at the door several times, but because Zhao Di was there, she endured it.

"Someone from the queen's side, please come over." Aman was very worried, "The slave and maid inquired, and the emperor went over." ”

Concubine Yuan thought for a while, "What are you afraid of, you should still come." I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and while my son is still there, he can send me an end. ”

Concubine Yuan dressed up and led Aman to Kunning Palace.

At the door, the aunt beside the queen came out and led the concubine to the side hall, "And first wronged the mother to wait here, the emperor came to visit the queen, and it was time to leave in a while, the queen said that she must see the mother today, I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future." ”

"Huiying, today, it's time to tell me the truth, right? Back then, what was going on? The Emperor sat at the bedside and looked at the married wife who had followed him for more than forty years.

"Then the emperor should also tell his concubines, what happened back then?" The queen leaned back on the soft pillow, she had a little difficulty speaking, but she still kept smiling.

When was this mask worn? The queen can't remember clearly, but she remembers that once she puts it on, she can't take it off again.

On one side is her mother's family, on the other side is her husband's family, she is sandwiched in the middle, swaying from side to side, dreaming back countless times at midnight, she is thinking, whose fault is it?

After Emperor Jiayou ascended the throne, the first wave of heroes killed was the Ma family. It was too sudden, the Ma family didn't expect that Emperor Jiayou would raise the butcher's knife towards them, let alone that this knife would come down so quickly. When more than 200 members of the Ma family were dragged to the noon gate, the queen who was still in the middle palace did not wake up.

The palace maid beside her stumbled in and cried, "Niangniang, the Ma family has been beheaded all over the house, and there is no one left." ”

The queen is still in a dream.

If it weren't for the fact that her brother's concubine still had a seed in her belly, the Ma family's graves now have no one to sacrifice.

For the sake of her brother's widow, the queen did everything that should be done and should not be done, so that she turned against the emperor.

"The concubines know that in this palace, everyone is qualified to give birth to children for His Majesty, but the concubines are not." The queen laughed.

"Nonsense!"

The emperor looked at the queen's pale and bloodless face, and couldn't help himself. If it is said that the generals in the army, the emperor's people account for only one-third, and the Ma family accounts for more than half.

Even if the crown prince crawled out of Queen Ma's belly back then, Emperor Jiayou did not dare to stay in the Ma family.

Even if all the people in the Ma family died, when the news of the posthumous son came out, how many people in the army lost their lives in order to save the posthumous son.
