According to Zhuo Yu's words, after sending them back to Zhuo Yu's dormitory quietly, Situ Yu wore a court dress and walked towards the place where the Queen Mother lived.

That small Buddha hall is the place where the Queen Mother later found someone to build and build by herself, and you need to pass through most of the Qingning Palace to reach it, even if you are familiar with the palace, you have to walk for a while. Therefore, when Mama went in to report and bring Situ Shu over, the Queen Mother had already come out of the small Buddha hall and was waiting for him in the guest room on the side.

"I haven't seen you in a long time, and you seem to have changed a lot. They all said that you have amazing skills, and that Yu'er has found a great prime minister, but according to the mourning family, you are ...... Something was missing. ”

The old man, who seemed to be quite kind, sat and drank tea with him, probably because he had just come out of the small Buddha hall, and she still had a string of rosewood Buddha beads wrapped around her arm.

Situ Ji never thought that one day he would sit and drink tea with her so calmly. After all, so many things happened at the beginning, even including the death of Xiaofuzi later, although Zhuo Siyi is the real culprit, but there is also this queen mother who contributed to it.

He originally thought that when he met the Queen Mother again, he would hate her very much in his heart, even if he came here because of Zhuo Yu's order, but he should have a cold face. But now, there is no wave in his heart.

The Queen Mother's emotion pulled Situ Shu's thoughts back. However, he didn't say anything high-sounding, only smiled faintly: "No matter what is missing, at least it will not pose a threat to you and Your Majesty, will it?" ”

Hearing his words, the Queen Mother only raised her eyes to look at him, and didn't seem to have any intention of interjecting, so Situ Ji continued to talk on her own.

"I know what you're thinking. It's just that Chen's lover has already died in the hands of the eldest princess, and the culprit has been duly punished. Now I just want to watch others go on and be happy, and stop being like me before. ”

At that time, he failed to perceive his intentions earlier, failed to protect her, and finally caused her to die tragically at the hands of Zhuo Siyi. For Xiaofuzi, he felt guilty and regretful. I'm afraid that in this life, he can't forget the woman who was covered in blood, but she still tried her best to climb in front of the Regent's Mansion at the last moment of her life, just to look at him again.

As soon as he thought of Xiao Fuzi, the pain that Situ Shu had hidden in the deepest part of his heart surged out again, and the reflection in his eyes was particularly obvious.

The Queen Mother saw it clearly, and she didn't know what she thought, she seemed to be stunned, and then shook her head and smiled bitterly: "You are sincere." ”

"I had a fight with Siyi's mother and daughter, but we fought for a cold throne, and even affected Yu'er, who didn't know anything. Siyi and I, I don't know how many disasters we have done over the years, and I don't know how many people we have killed. This sin is not enough to be compensated for by spending the rest of your life for a few years. Before leaving, I was completely relieved to see that Yu'er could have someone like you by her side to assist. ”

Her words seemed very emotional and sincere, and it seemed that she really realized her previous mistakes, and she really felt tired.

It is not easy for a person like her, who has been in a high position for half her life, to bow her head and admit her mistakes like this. But Situ Yu was not shocked by this, and grasped another important point in her words, and asked with some doubts: "Before leaving?" ”

The Queen Mother naturally nodded: "The mourning family has lived in this deep palace for most of their lives, and they have fought for most of their lives, and now they don't have a few years to live, so it's better to go out for a walk, take a look, and remember the beautiful scenery they saw before they died." ”

Speaking of this, she smiled, as if recalling something beautiful, and even the old voice was slightly softer: "Ten miles away from the capital, there is a Putuo Temple, where incense is thriving and pilgrims are endless. It was there that the mourning family glanced at the emperor from afar, and they never forgot it for decades since. ”

She didn't know where she was looking, and she looked nostalgic. Situ sat aside and listened quietly. He didn't know why the Queen Mother suddenly brought up the matter of her youth, and she didn't know how she should interject, so she simply didn't say a word and was a full listener.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't really indulge in memories, or maybe her life after entering the palace was not as pure and beautiful as she imagined, so she didn't want to think about it too much.

"Two days ago, the mourning family had already sent the grandmother next to me to Putuo Temple to make arrangements in advance, and they could leave for that side tomorrow. At that time, everything in this palace has nothing to do with the mourning family, just wait for a hundred years to come back and put it in the coffin, and then send it to the imperial mausoleum. ”

The Queen Mother said casually, and the meaning in her words was that she was about to go to Putuo Temple to become a monk, and it seemed that she should have really let go of everything.

It was rare for an outsider to come to Qingning Palace, and she said so much unconsciously, and it was only at this time that she finally remembered: "By the way, I just heard from Mama that you came to Qingning Palace on the order of Yu'er, I don't know what happened?" ”

Hearing the Queen Mother mention the matter, Situ Ji couldn't help but straighten his face, and then told her about the "golden cicada shelling" that he had discussed with Zhuo Yu. In addition, he also said a few words about his own considerations.

It's just that after the Queen Mother heard it, she didn't disagree at all, but sighed and said, "Do what you want to do." The mourning family is old, these things will only sound like a headache, and I can't control it and don't want to take care of it! ”

If it had been before, she would never have approved of such a ridiculous thing. But now she has nothing to miss about this place where she has lived for most of her life, and she no longer thinks about power. After she had done so many wrong things, Zhuo Yu was willing to tell her such an important thing in advance, and she was already very satisfied.

With Fang Cai's conversation, Situ Ji also has a new understanding of the old queen mother. Therefore, when he said their plan, he had already guessed that the Queen Mother would not object to this.

The purpose of this visit has been achieved, and Situ Shu naturally has no reason to stay here, and after drinking a cup of tea, he got up and said goodbye to her: "In this case, the minister will retire." The minister will convey the meaning of the mother to His Majesty, and after the matter is completed, the minister will go to Putuo Temple to inform you. ”

"Go ahead."

The Queen Mother did not hold back too much, nor did she refuse his kindness. Just looked at the figure of Situ Shu when he left, he still sighed, pinched the Buddha beads in his hand and muttered, "It's a poor child!" ”
