When he was about a quarter of an hour, Hou Cong put down the old file he was looking at, and looked up to see two people brought in by Qingsong - Mo Chang and Bai Yi.

One was wearing the clothes of a eunuch, and the other was wearing the clothes of a palace daughter, which fit well.

"Where did it come from?"

"The Raccoon Bureau stole it." Bai Yi said, his face was not red and his heart was not beating. At this time, I really want to catch Yuwen Changkong, and the brother and sister are tied up together and beaten.

"You're pretty comfortable living in this palace." Hou Cong taunted her. Then he stood up, got closer, and looked at the two men again.

During the day, he begged for a palace daughter who liked him very much, and went to hand over the message, saying that when he looked at the old files, he found a little gossip that the Queen Mother might be interested in, and made an appointment to meet him tonight.

Hou Cong took the information he found, walked in front, Qingsong followed behind, squeezed his eyes at the white clothes, and the four of them walked through the night and walked towards the Yilan Palace.

The Lantai guards on duty saw Hou Cong followed by his own servants, as well as two palace people with their heads bowed, and let them go according to the Queen Mother's order.

Stepping on the wooden bridge on the Carved Heart Lake, Mo Chang's mood was extremely calm. Step by step, he kept his head down. It was built a long time ago, and when it was empty, he also came to play peek-a-boo with Mo Rong, Yanyang, and a few other younger brothers.

A eunuch led them to the small room where the Queen Mother lived in her daily life, where she summoned Hou Cong in those days.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Queen Mother saw the four people entering the house, she asked the people around her to retreat.

The four of them saluted, and heard the words "get up."

Then, I heard the Queen Mother say, "Chang'er is here." ”

Mo Chang raised his head.

I haven't seen my mother for more than a year, others can't see it, but I think she is older, thinner, and the corners of her eyes are a little haggard.

In the end, it was her mother, although she did not predict that her son would come, although Mo Chang was wearing a eunuch's costume and lowered his head, but she recognized it in an instant.

You say God is not God.

Mo Chang understands this.

Hou Cong and Baiyi, who have long been motherless, also understand, and they don't know what it's like in their hearts.

"What are you messing around, dressing like this! If you really want to see me, you can't hold on to this moment? The Queen Mother said, there was no real anger in her tone, maybe she has always been like this to Mo Chang, outsiders still seem to be gentle and amiable, but for a child who is desperate for maternal love, it is indeed cold.

So Mo Chang didn't speak.

The Queen Mother glanced at Hou Cong, "General Hou is good, it's funny in front of me." Hum. Sit down. ”

Hou Cong didn't dare to obey his fate, "The mother and son are reunited after a long absence, and their subordinates-"

"Come on, since he came out of my belly, we haven't been alone, no one else, but we're not used to it."

Qingsong and Baiyi were still standing, and Hou Cong and Mo Chang sat down uncomfortably in front of the Queen Mother.

Mo Chang smiled bitterly, "I don't know if I should be happy or cry?" In this way, Erchen is still born to the queen mother, and he can't dream of having a warm mother, who is good to me. ”

The Queen Mother looked straight at him, "You look like this, you really look like the first emperor." Do you have to get something that doesn't belong to you? ”

Mo Chang immediately defended his father, "What's wrong with my father?" What was my father greedy for? What did your father treat you badly? ”

The Queen Mother also looked straight at Mo Chang, "I heard that you went to the Lin family." Do you see, am I like the daughter of their family? I have no name or surname, and the relationship between me and the former emperor of General Xiaohou's family is probably a little similar to the girl in front of me and the eldest son of your family. ”

Bai Yi suddenly raised his head.

The Queen Mother looked at her and smiled, "She looks really good." I heard that you are good at kung fu. When it comes to fighting, I'm not as good as you. Many years ago, I was ordered by the emperor to go south, and your grandfather soon discovered my identity and picked it up. ”

The Queen Mother then looked at Hou Cong, "You found some things, and you guessed some things, but you didn't expect these, right?" ”

Then, the Queen Mother still looked at Mo Chang, "Your father personally interrogated me, and he was reluctant to let me die." It was Lord Bai who came up with the idea, first sent it to the Lin family, raised it for a year, and then entered the palace with Lin Guifei. He also said that in order to understand my homesickness, he wanted to unify the world and take me back to Datong. What's so good about Datong? I just want to see the Great Prince. ”

The Queen Mother looked at the paperweight on the table.

Hou Cong still wanted to ask himself, "The arrest of Bai Shen's family was your order." The so-called corruption is not a fact. The emperor of your country loved you very much, and there is only one thing to hide from you, the secret way. The secret passage between the palace and the prince's mansion is personally in charge of Lord Bai, and it is a secret between His Royal Highness King Yangxian and his father. Three thousand guan money, which Lord Bai used to repair the secret passage of the prince's mansion. What do you think is the conspiracy between the first emperor of your country and Lord Bai Shen against Liguo, and in order to force this secret to surface, he used the power he controlled in the court to make this layout. At the beginning, the Qin family, who participated in the construction, was saved by Lord Bai. Later, the Bai family was arrested, but no one saved Lord Bai. It's a pity that the people of the Bai family have been dead for several years, and the prince only left the palace to open the mansion, you didn't guess that Lord Bai was busy, and it was related to the prince's mansion that was used a few years later. ”

Of course, the first emperor of Chengguo thought about saving Bai Shen.

However, it is easy to arrest people, but it is difficult to release them.

The emperors of Liguo and Chengguo both faced the same problem, and the imperial power was not so strong. Their ancestors, who raised troops almost at the same time to seize the world from the royal family of Pingguo, one faced the constraints of the military aristocracy system in the north, and the other ran to the south to face the face of the wealthy family in Jiangnan who "took in" him.

After the Bai family was arranged and ordered by Empress Lin, and Fang Wuxing, Sun Qi and others were arrested, because Bai Shen was an eagle dog who was extremely loyal to Empress Lin's husband, he strengthened the imperial power and controlled hundreds of officials through the operation of meticulous work, and the major families of the Chengguo country would never allow the emperor to find a suitable way to acquit the Bai family.

"So, I'm your enemy, and your lover helped you check, almost." The Queen Mother looked at the white clothes and said slowly.

Bai Yi's face did not fluctuate, and the words she asked seemed to be unexpected—not about the Bai family, but about Mo Chang, "Why don't you love your son?" ”

Bai Yi is no longer interested in the past of the Bai family.

Even she herself worked hard for Liguo, what did she care about Chengguo's old entanglements?

What's more, the grandfather back then may not have known the truth. If he tried his best, he might not survive. But he chose to die.

Bai Yi asked again, "Why don't you love your son?" ”

This time, her voice softened, more persuasive than questioning.

Mo Chang was taken aback, because he actually saw a tear from the corner of the Queen Mother's eyes.

"When I gave birth to him, he was taken away. At that time, the Empress Dowager Huisheng knew that I was not the daughter of the Lin family and didn't want him to grow up beside me. If I show a little bit of concern for my child, it will not be good for him or for me. You ask me if I love him, and I can't tell. I didn't grow up with my own mother, and I don't know how my mother loves her children. Anyway, recently, I've been holding a cat in my arms, and I feel quite close. You ask me if I love him, I can't tell you, but when his father died, I was holding on to the jade seal, wanting to wait for my own son to come back, but a soldier of the forbidden army took it from my hand and handed it to Mo Rong, what can I do? ”

The whole Chengguo saw the support of the Queen Mother, as the widow of the first emperor, to Mo Rong. No one had ever seen the other scene.

The Queen Mother wiped her tears with a brocade handkerchief and stretched out her hand to Mo Chang, who hesitated for a while, stood up, walked over and knelt down, and held it.

"Child, don't expect me to have the intimate feelings of someone else's mother. I have nothing to give you or help you. There is one thing that I have hidden from everyone, but I want to tell you today that in addition to being the son of the first emperor, you do have the blood of the Lin family. ”

This sentence surprised Hou Cong, Bai Yi and Mo Chang again.

Isn't she the fake daughter of the Lin family? Even the Lin family and Concubine Lin think so.

The Queen Mother smiled sadly, "White girl, I said I was like you." Where did the meticulous work and assassins of the kingdom come from? When I was three years old, I was stolen from the Lin family by the Yuwen family, who was selected by the south. In those days when I was raised by the Lin family, I found a three-year-old child who could keep things in his head. I just didn't tell my parents or even my own sister about this, so they thought I was dead, for the best. However," the Queen Mother looked at Mo Chang, "One day, if this can help you, you will say it." If I lived, I would speak for you. ”
