Li Zhi and my son followed me back to Wenshui's hometown, accompanied only by Concubine Xue and Mei Niang. As for the other guards or something, I don't care, I also told Li Shimin, you sent you, don't let me see it, let alone let me take care of the food. After finishing speaking, Li Shimin laughed and said that I was Tian Shepo. I'm a countryman, and I'm not afraid to say it.

Li Zhi and Concubine Xue live in the Zhuangzi, the small house on the mountain can't live, and the son is playing all over the mountain, in late summer and early autumn, it is really the most beautiful time on the mountain, and it is the harvest season in the villa, everything is very beautiful. Li Zhi didn't have his father's control, and he looked much more normal, so I asked Uncle Xiang to find two horses for Li Zhi and his son to learn.

Concubine Xue looked at Li Zhi from afar for a while before looking back at me: "What is Madame's intention in sending talented people to King Jin's side?" ”

"Concubine, do you think I look like a fairy?" I didn't answer her question directly, I asked her. She looked at me deeply, shook her head, and I smiled, "Yes, I'm not a god, I can't know anything, I'm really afraid to send Mei Niang to the concubine." I am an ordinary mother, I am afraid that Mei Niang will be involved in the rebellion of the palace, and it is safest to stay away from politics on the side of the concubine. ”

"At this time, isn't it true that Your Majesty sent His Royal Highness and talented people out of the palace to avoid trouble? It seems that the days of blood and rain in the future are not far from His Highness. Madame made a mistake! ”

I let out a long sigh, thought for a moment and looked at this concubine who had gone through two dynasties: "Does the concubine regret it?" ”

"Repentance?" She glanced at me and laughed, "Entering the palace is not the wish of the concubine, there are no children and no favors, and there is an empty stomach that is out of place. ”

I hesitated, do I want to inquire about the whereabouts of Liniang's biological mother? I don't know the woman's name. Oh, by the way, her surname is Yang, but there are more women surnamed Yang around Gaozu.

"Madame, ask whatever you want! A concubine is not a man of many tongues. "She is a very smart woman, but yes, she can't live in the palace if she is not smart enough.

"I just want to ask the concubine about a family, but I can't ask." I smiled wryly and sighed as I looked at the children in the distance.

"Concubine Yang is still alive, she gave birth to a son, and now lives in the fief with her son." She didn't look at me, but said softly.

I exhaled softly and smiled, "It's good to be alive." ”

"Madame wants revenge?" She stared into my eyes, and it seemed that she knew about Shi Tong. I laughed and shook my head.

"Sometimes it feels like we're a mess, and I don't know if I owe her or if she owes me. The children have grown up, and sometimes they think that she is quite pitiful. The men were planning for themselves, but no one ever thought about her. It's normal for her to be resentful, compared to her, at least Shi Tong and I have been in love with each other for more than ten years, and we have been happy. ”

"What about Madame and Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty?" I was stunned for a moment, and when I looked back at her, she looked at me with deep meaning.

"Madame won't be ignorant of rumors in the palace that Madame and Your Majesty are private, right?" She looked at me with a smirk. I look at the sky, it's really ...... Thinking about it, the darker it became, and I shook my head silently.

"Madame doesn't want to say?"

"I don't know what to say. His Majesty needs a friend who has a good understanding of him and the queen, and who has nothing to do with the court and cannot cause consequences, and this person happens to be me. ”

"Madame knows Your Majesty very well about herself." She nodded, noncommittal, and I looked at her and smiled.

"The concubine actually knew all along, why did she ask?"

"The concubine is already an outsider, if the concubine knows it, the lady should be vigilant?"

Think about it, Concubine Yang's gaze, and the snowflake invitations of the princesses, yes, Concubine Yang has always doubted my relationship with Li Shimin, and others want to take advantage of my relationship with Li Shimin.

"How to be alert? Give your son back to Your Majesty? Pushing His Royal Highness the King of Jin far away? What should Mei Niang do? ”

"Madame can give up everything, but her daughter can't give up." She let out a long sigh, "Yes, my deceased mother is just like Madame!" ”

"Besides, what if I have a personal relationship with Your Majesty? I don't have a son to ask for a prince, and I don't have a brother who wants to break the land and seal the territory, what can I do? These people are really boring as well. ”

"Princess Jinyang and His Royal Highness the King of Jin are the children raised by His Majesty, when the queen died, the King of Jin was nine years old, and Princess Jinyang was four years old, especially the princess, Your Majesty never refused to fake her hands to others, but Mrs. can take the princess from His Majesty's hands, and Mrs. doesn't feel that Your Majesty believes that Mrs. Xin is more than other concubines?"

"The concubine understands what the concubine means, and the concubine wants to say that His Majesty's willingness to entrust Princess Jinyang to the concubine is a great trust in the concubine? And this trust can also be a kind of bargaining chip for me to influence the current situation? "I thought about it for a while," so the concubine began to suspect that the concubine arranged her daughter to be next to the King of Jin was also a consideration, maybe one day, the concubine could influence His Majesty. ”

"Yes, after Chu Suiliang entered the palace that day, the concubine did think so." She was very direct and smiled, "In fact, the prince has become increasingly ill in recent years, and the court has also made slight remarks. It's just that Mrs. has no roots and no foundation, if you want to get involved in the battle of this palace, it is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car. ”

"Alas!" I let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly, "Does the concubine think that the concubine has the ability to roll up the bloody storm?" ”

"In order to live, many things are inexplicable." She still smiled softly.

"And what about the concubine?" I asked rhetorically, what is the way this woman who has been in the court all her life wants to live?

"The best ending for a concubine is that His Royal Highness King Jin will go to the fiefdom with him after he becomes an adult, and find a quiet place to spend the rest of his life." Said very beautifully, I smiled, thinking about the history of this concubine after Li Zhi ascended the throne asked to find a temple but died, the kind and filial Li Zhi built a temple in the palace for her, and raised her to old age. This should be her best ending!

"So what the concubine said to the concubine today is to tell the concubine not to fight His Highness's idea, you don't want His Highness to be injured."

"Yes!" She finally nodded.
