The grandmother who led the way for Situ was the personal maid of the Queen Mother when she first entered the palace, and she did not leave the palace when she was old, but stayed by her side for most of her life. It is not an exaggeration to call such a person a confidant.

After Mama Xin sent Situ out of Qingning Palace, she came back to clean up the tea cup that the two had drunk. Seeing that the Queen Mother had not returned to the small Buddha Hall to recite the scriptures, she asked: "Niangniang, does Your Majesty trust this Prime Minister Situ too much?" Shouldn't something as important as it be known to as few people as possible? ”

After all, Situ Shu was a foreign minister, and he often walked among the courtiers. If this person is not strict in his oral style, or has some other thoughts, then the consequences are simply ......

Even if Mama Xin doesn't say the latter, how can the Queen Mother, who has been calculating for most of her life, not know what she means? It's just that the latter only smiled when he heard this, shook his head around and said: "Anyone can betray Yu'er, only him, absolutely not." ”

She rarely looks at people, and Situ Ji is the one she is very optimistic about.

When she spoke to him, she said he had come back differently. And from the few sentences that followed, she saw clearly that what Situ Ji was missing was that heart. Probably the woman named Xiaofuzi died, and his heart was taken away with him.

Although the current Situ Ju still looks like that warm as jade, and he still often smiles at the corners of his lips, his eyes are full of thoughts and pain.

Such a person, he has no ambition, and he cannot be ambitious. That body of knowledge and the ability of the Yue people will only be used to be loyal to the king and do their best for the country.

The Queen Mother understood this in her heart, but she didn't say it, all her emotions were crumpled together, and finally only turned into a sigh: "...... It's all the sins of the mourning family! ”

The news that the Queen Mother was going to Putuo Temple was soon brought to Zhuo Yu by Situ Yu. It's just that after the latter heard the news, he was silent for a moment, and finally didn't say anything. Perhaps in her opinion, as early as when the Queen Mother attacked her for the throne, the mother-daughter relationship between the two had long been cut off by the latter herself. Now, even if there is a desire to fill it, that crack cannot be completely erased.

Because Zhuo Yu was still "sick", the Queen Mother was reluctant to be too public, so when the carriage that the Queen Mother rode left on the second day, there were only some palace people in Qingning Palace who were not taken away, as well as Wei Chi Jin and Situ Ji who sent Zhuo Yu off.

The Queen Mother has been strong for a lifetime, and it took decades to climb to such a noble position now, and now when she finally wakes up and wants to leave, the farewell scene is a little cold. Such a strong this, even if the person concerned does not care, it is really embarrassing for others.

Hearing someone push the door and walk in, Zhuo Yu didn't look up, didn't even take his eyes off the book in his hand, and only asked lightly, "She's gone?" ”

"Let's go, the regent and I watched the Queen Mother's carriage go out of the palace gate before coming back."

Situ Shu replied to her words, although the latter didn't ask much, but he only paused in his voice, but continued: "I took a cursory look, although another carriage was used to load the luggage, but it was only some necessary clothes and jewelry, as well as the luggage of the accompanying Mama Xin. In addition, I didn't bring any of the precious things in Qingning Palace. It seems that the Queen Mother is really planning to live a hard life of cultivation. ”

When he said the last sentence, he deliberately sighed softly, but his eyes kept staring at Zhuo Yu as if he was nothing, as if he wanted to see how she reacted to this.

However, the expression on the latter's face did not fluctuate much, and he was only slightly stunned for a moment before answering his words, but he retorted: "It's not cultivation, it's to atone for sins." Atonement for Bai Su and those who were innocently killed by her. ”

She was not the original owner of this body in the first place, and she couldn't talk about any mother-daughter relationship with the Queen Mother, and the little good impression she had for the latter had long since disappeared because of those previous things. Even if she stood on the most honorable throne, she really couldn't bear and forgive such an act of treating human life as a mustard.

Now it was Situ Ji's turn to be stunned, but it was only a moment before he came back to his senses and didn't mention it again.

The Queen Mother left at this time, which can be regarded as making enough room for Zhuo Yu's plan to fake his death, and Situ Yu can arrange the corresponding matters with peace of mind. It's just that Zhuo Yu's "death" involves a wide range of things, and the change of the throne is not a trivial matter, not to mention that everything still needs to be done in secret. Even if Situ Ji dealt with it personally, and with Wei Chijin's people to assist, it still took about five or six days.

During this period of time, Zhuo Yu, who was "terminally ill" to the outside world, lived a very relaxed and happy life in the palace, and did not forget to take the time to write the holy decree of Zhang Chuan, and after stamping it with a jade seal, he handed it to Xiao Quanzi for him to put away.

As for why he didn't just give the holy decree to Yu Chi Jin? Of course, it was to prevent those old foxes from having a lot of speculation about this holy decree, and they didn't even want to admit it!

Now whether it is in the court or in the palace, everyone knows that Xiao Quanzi is the chief eunuch she appointed and one of her henchmen. And during the period when she was "seriously ill", Xiao Quanzi also served her inch by inch, and recently Wei Chi Jin never showed up in front of outsiders. If she really wants to leave the will to pass on the throne, then it can only be considered the most reasonable for Xiao Quanzi to hold this holy will.

At night, the three of them met again in Zhuo Yu's bedroom, but this time, none of them said any more jokes, and the expressions on their faces were equally serious.

Yu Chi Jin was wearing a night suit, and he looked like he was about to quietly leave the palace. It's just that before leaving, he confirmed again: "Are things ready?" Are you sure there won't be any mistakes? ”

Situ Yu nodded, his tone quite affirmative: "Everything has been arranged, and several scenarios that are most likely to happen have been taken into account. It's just that Zhuo Yu has to be wronged at that time. ”

The plan for the golden cicada to get out of its shell was only planned for a while, and it was not considered before, but in such a short period of time, it was impossible to find a stand-in similar to Zhuo Yu's body size. Therefore, after announcing the emperor's "death" to the outside world, Zhuo Yu had to go to the hard and narrow and dark coffin to lie down once, and the plan was not successful until it was sent to the imperial tomb.

These things had already been told to Zhuo Yu by the two of them two days ago, and when she heard them again at this time, she naturally would not be dissatisfied. What's more, this time they accompanied her on such an adventure, also to help her.
