Zheng Qiaoqiao's resentment that had been silent for many years was turned over again, Guo Nianyun, this poisonous woman, locked their mother and son in the Buddhist hall and did not see the light of day, if she didn't agree, it would be fine, why did she promise but tease her?

Zheng Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth loudly, and finally despaired, took a deep breath, and pulled Li Yi, "Let's go, go back." ”

Li Yirao looks mature and stable outside, but he still reveals his youthful nature in front of his own mother. He pulled Zheng Qiaoqiao and began to talk excitedly about Empress Dowager Guo's permission for him to go to Changge to read books, and said, "A-Niang, actually...... Yi'er looked at it, Empress Dowager Guo didn't seem to be a very difficult person to get along with, and her son looked very kind to her these times......"

"You know what!" Zheng Qiaoqiao suddenly interrupted Li Yi's words a little viciously, "Children should look at it more, that is called knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing hearts, there are many people with honey and belly swords, and when the time comes, I will sell you and count the money for others!" ”

Li Yi saw that her mother seemed to be very angry, although she didn't know what it was for, she had to be silent.

On this day, Empress Dowager Guo received a secret letter from Imperial Doctor Liang, saying that she had arrived at the foot of Taihang Mountain. Although she has not yet found that rare medicine, she has found another herb that is likely to have an auxiliary effect on His Majesty's illness, but the information about the new herb is still a little insufficient, so she drew a graphic, hoping that she can continue to search for some information in the palace and send it over.

Empress Dowager Guo heard him say that there were some signs of searching for medicine, which was good news. She personally brought a few cronies from the Shang Pharmacy to the Changge.

When she arrived at the Long Pavilion and saw that the door was open, Empress Dowager Guo asked the little eunuch outside, "Is there anyone inside?" ”

The little eunuch only promised: "It's the fourth prince, he said that he was allowed to read in the long pavilion after the decree of the queen mother." ”

He said very carefully, and secretly regretted that he was careless and let the four princes in without first asking for the consent of the queen mother, if the four princes lied, in fact, the queen mother did not make this decree at all, so what should I do!

On weekdays, this long pavilion is the most deserted place, why are there nobles coming to the door one after another today?

Empress Dowager Guo raised her hand slightly, "The mourning family knows." ”

The little eunuch's hanging heart was put down, and he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The Queen Mother, please." ”

Empress Dowager Guo nodded, led everyone in, explained the information they were looking for, and everyone went separately, she didn't know medicine, but she bothered others here, so she went upstairs to the terrace.

The upstairs terrace is very high, and there is a circle of carved wooden railings on the side, which looks very old, and should have been repaired during the Xuanzong period, and the ornamentation on it has also peeled off, looking mottled. Under the erosion of rain year after year, the wood seems to have decayed slightly.

It's time to repair all the balustrades. After two years, when Your Majesty is better, the DPRK and China are settled, and the treasury is full, it is time to allocate some money for repairs.

Thinking so, she walked over to the railing and looked into the distance. The position of the long pavilion is far behind, but the terrain is high, and the entire Taiye Pool is almost in full view.

This is his and her Daming Palace, but now she is the only one left in the palace, guarding this huge Daming Palace alone.

Thinking of Chun, her eyes were full of amazement.

At this time, Li Yi came out of the house, seemed to see the Empress Dowager Guo outside, and hurriedly went over to salute: "Li Yi has seen the Empress Dowager." ”

Empress Dowager Guo looked blankly into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking, and it took a long time to turn around, "No need to be polite." After a while, he asked, "You like to read?" ”

Li Yi nodded: "I like it." ”

Empress Dowager Guo stopped talking, and at this time, a swallow flew over, and did not avoid people, and flew under the eaves. Empress Dowager Guo looked up, only to find that there was already a huge swallow's nest under the eaves, and I don't know what year it was built, looking at the size, I am afraid that it has been several years.

The swallows between the beams are flying, and they are coming back every year. is a person, but the shape is only a shadow.

She looked up and watched the big swallow fly in, and there was a group of small swallows chirping and waiting to be fed.

Xu was out of her mind for too long, and she was a little dizzy when she came back to her senses, so she hurriedly went to hold on to the railing on the terrace. Who knows, the railing is even more rotten than it looks, and the wood has been hollowed out by moths, and when it is touched like this, it actually breaks with a click.

At this time, the weight of Empress Dowager Guo's body was leaning against the railing, so she lost her center of gravity, threw herself out, and fell out.

Seeing this, Li Yi didn't think much about it, and immediately rushed over and reached out to grab Empress Dowager Guo's wrist.

Empress Dowager Guo is not tall, and her body is slender, not very heavy. But Li Yi is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, and his stature has not yet grown, so he does not have much strength at all. Therefore, he lay on the terrace, and the body of the Empress Dowager Guo was suspended in the air, which was very thrilling.

Li Yi took Empress Dowager Guo's hand and pulled it like a fire, probably hurting her muscles and bones. But he still tried to persevere, his face was so red that his lips almost bit blood.

The congregation was so busy that no one was paying attention to them. Li Yi shouted a few words, but no one heard them.

Guo Nianyun looked up at the young man, and suddenly asked, "Yi'er, don't you hate the mourning family?" ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but realized the situation at this moment, the life of this noble queen mother was hanging by a thread in his hands. At this time, any flattery, any lie, all seem pale and useless.

He nodded honestly: "Hate." ”

This was the expected answer, and he was honest.

"Then why did you save the mourning family?"

"Instinct." He was running out of strength, and he was brief.

Empress Dowager Guo had a smile on her face, originally she wanted to control the direction of many things, but at this moment, she realized that everything seemed so powerless. What is Heng'er's fate...... It depends on his own creation.

"Let go."

If he doesn't let go, I'm afraid that because of his exhaustion, both of them will fall off the terrace and die.

Li Yi was a little stunned, but he suddenly glanced down, and there was a trace of inexplicable relief in his eyes. He closed his eyes and really let go of his hand.

Empress Dowager Guo's complicated clothes bloomed into a purple flower in the air, and fell heavily.

At this moment, all she could think of was Li Chun's face. She has no time to take care of anything else, Datang and Heng'er, they can only go with the flow. Only he is a concern that she can't let go of in her life.

When she woke up again, Guo Nianyun was a little stunned, is she already dead, this is the Hades Palace?

However, there seems to be something wrong with the layout of this Hades Palace, so why does it look familiar?

She moved her fingers, slowly her whole body became conscious, she moved her arms, and finally sat up on the bed.

"Queen Mother, you can be regarded as awake." A figure walked in, and when he looked closely, it was fennel.

Am I awake? Guo Nianyun found out that this room was her own dormitory, and she slept in the Penglai Palace. Thinking about it carefully, she only felt that her mind was a little chaotic, and she remembered in a trance that she seemed to have fallen from the terrace of the Long Pavilion, which was very high, and she should definitely die if she fell.

But why is it here?

"Fennel, what's wrong with the mourning family?"

Fennel came in with a copper basin for washing her face, she twisted a hand towel out of the basin, wiped her face, and said: "Yesterday, the Empress Dowager took us to the Changge to find the books that the imperial doctor Liang wanted, and the slaves and maids went to look for books, and the Empress Dowager fainted on the terrace somehow. ”

"You mean, the mourners fainted on the terrace?"

"Yes, I frightened the slave maid, but fortunately, there were several imperial doctors among the people who went with me, and I quickly checked the pulse of the mother on the spot, saying that it was okay, but I was hit by some ** incense. It's also strange, how could the mother be ** fragrant on the terrace? ”

She said fainting on the terrace, not lying under the terrace.

Also, the touch of the body now does not look like it has been injured. So what happened from the time she fell down to the time she woke up here? She wasn't impressed.

She also hit the ** incense? She knows that there is such a thing called **incense, which can make people unconscious, but **incense doesn't seem to have a hallucinogenic effect, and the thing she stumbled and fell off the terrace should not be her hallucination.

What the hell is going on? Guo Nianyun remembered the scene at that time, so he asked again: "What about the four princes?" ”

Dislocated

Fennel said: "At that time, someone found Niangniang fainting on the terrace, and it happened that the fourth prince also came, and somehow, as soon as his feet slipped, he tripped on the threshold, and as a result, he fell heavily and dislocated both arms. But don't worry, the imperial doctor has also been diagnosed, and with bandages, it should be fine in less than half a month. ”

Both arms fell and dislocated?

When Li Yi stretched out his hand to pull her, she clearly remembered that he was using his right hand, and his left hand did not exert any force at all, so it should not be dislocated. Moreover, it is also a bit strange that a fall can dislocate both arms at the same time.

Empress Dowager Guo frowned, and suddenly asked again: "Fennel, do you remember that there was anything unusual about the railing on the terrace of the Long Pavilion at that time?" ”

"Railing?" Fennel lowered her head and thought for a long time before replying, "The railing seems to have broken somehow." The slave was anxious about the mother's body at the time, and she didn't look too closely. ”

Nian Yun closed his eyes slightly and was silent. At this age, she doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods. If something strange happens, it must be man-made.

But who did it?

The man should not be hostile, because he saved her. But why didn't he show up, or even let others know about his existence?

The only witness at that time should be Li Yi. Under that circumstance, it was unlikely that Li Yi would have fallen on a frustrated basis, unless he did it on purpose to cover up the injury to his right hand.

Moreover, if a person trips over the threshold and throws his arm to the dislocation, it is usually necessary to land on one side to have such a big impact, and it is unlikely that both arms will land together and dislocate.

Why did he help that mysterious man?
