On this day, Emperor Wenzong rarely accompanied Empress Wu to play chess.

For Empress Wu Changxiu, this is really a rare grace.

However, on this day, on a sunny afternoon in April, Sheng Jing received a report of a happy and a mournful war.

The first battle report is that the Bo Lin Rebellion has been pacified, the new lord of Bo Lin is the Tai clan, and the new lord will bring his sister Tai Weichu to the Yu Dynasty, so that the county lord of Wei Chu will stay in the Yu Dynasty.

The second battle report...... It was Zhongsun Yanbei who took the lead in this war and died of serious injuries.

Emperor Wenzong came to the queen's palace with these two war reports that had not yet been allowed to be made public, and when the queen finally couldn't help but ask about the battle situation of Bolin, Zhongsun Zheng Zhongsun Zheng played with the chess pieces in his hand and said: "The Bolin rebellion has been quelled by Yanbei, and the new lord is about to come to worship, and the new lord's sister Weichu will come to Shengjing as a hostage." It's likely that they will marry us, in short, everything is over this war, it's good. ”

"This is really good, Yanbei really didn't disgrace Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you going to reward our Yanbei?" Wu Changxiu said happily.

"Yanbei, outstanding military achievements, indispensable contributions, these years have also been a disadvantage to this sister-in-law, then fulfill your mother's wish, let him be buried with the gift of the prince."

Emperor Wenzong Zhongsun Zheng originally wanted to look at Empress Wu and say, but he still couldn't raise his head, and when he talked about the burial, he even trembled a little......

After all, it was her son, and it was her own son......

"Your Majesty...... What does Your Majesty mean by this, Your Majesty must be saying that you want to give him the honor of golden jade clothes, right? Wu Changxiu's eyes trembled and said.

Zhongsun Zheng sighed.

"If you want, you can give it together."

"Your Majesty......" The corners of Empress Wu's mouth trembled, "You can't make fun of me like this......"

"Changxiu, I, I didn't lie to you, Yanbei has died in Bolin, but he did put down the rebellion in Bolin......"

Wu Changxiu smiled sadly:

"I really didn't expect that when I heard His Majesty call his concubine Changxiu again, it was when Yanbei died fighting for the country......"

"Wu Changxiu, you have to bear the consequences of the path you choose, didn't you say the same to Chang Ying at the beginning?" Zhong Sun Zheng said with some sneer.

"Zhongsun Zheng! Our son is dead!! Die for your country!! Why do you still mention that Wu Changyu to me at this time!! What do you think she has to be proud of...... What's good!! She's just a concubine in our family, not even a concubine, she's just a slave's child! It's my maid!! You abolished the dowry for her, you ignored me who you should love for her, and until now, our son has died for your society, and you are still full of that! ”

"Empress, if you still want to be this empress, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, and ......" Zhongsun Zheng leaned in front of her and asked, "How about losing the person you love the most?" ”

"Can't you still understand how I felt back then?"

"Over the years, I have been very tolerant of the contribution of the Wu family and your mother clan to the Yu Dynasty, and I have not dealt with you."

"No wonder the emperor is willing to let Yanbei go to Bolin and not let the British prince go, your Majesty, you also know that you have never felt sorry for Yanbei over the years, we are husband and wife, you want to use our son's death to make me empathize with Wu Changyi's death?? Zhongsun Zheng, won't your conscience be troubled? ”

"It's really interesting to hear you talk about your conscience in front of me."

After Zhong Sun Zheng finished speaking, he threw down the chess pieces in his hand and was about to get up and leave, when Empress Wu called out to him, "Wait, Your Majesty!" ”

"Now that Your Majesty knows, can Your Majesty answer some questions from your concubines...... Only...... For Yanbei's sake......"

"Just ask." Zhongsun Zheng sighed and slowly turned to look at her.

Wu Changxiu's still gorgeous makeup can't withstand the traces of time, and the sadness she endures can't erase the collapse that has been written in the corners of her eyes.

"Back then, Wu Changying's slut was found by the concubine and given to death, Your Majesty was heartbroken, and almost abolished the position of queen of the palace, and was grounded in the palace for three years, and then Your Majesty was lucky to have a rough girl in the Xuling Palace overnight, and only then did the current third prince Yanhe, the concubine is very curious, Your Majesty was so disgusting and that girl's child back then, and even threw him in Xuling for so many years, why did you suddenly treat him so well?"

"Huh...... Queen, I didn't kill you back then, not because it was for the sake of the Wu family, not because of you, but because Chang Ying didn't die back then...... I asked Gongyu Nanci to change her and take her away as a royal guard, but my condition was that Gongyu Nanci must die on the battlefield openly. ”

"So...... Could it be ......" Wu Changxiu smiled sadly, "I really didn't expect that the Gongyu family, which rose overnight, would be like this!" ”

"That's right." Emperor Wenzong closed his eyes, as if he was happy, as if he was sad, and said, "And in fact, Yanhe is not the child of a rough maidservant, Yanhe is the child of Chang Xuan." ”

After speaking, Emperor Wenzong left directly, Empress Wu smiled all of a sudden, but tears rained down, I don't know if she was crying for her son or crying for herself......

She looked at the chess game that her husband had just studied with herself, and the chess pieces were polished from the best jade, but the tentacles were cold, like Junxin, and just like herself, Wu Changxiu angrily threw the chessboard on herself, and the sound of hula cracking was small and scattered, and all the palace people knelt on the ground and begged the queen to grieve and stop their anger......

"Queen...... Empress!!! What Queen!! This palace has just been trapped in this Fengyi Palace all his life!! Wu Changxiu yelled like crazy.

"It's not Fengyi Palace that traps you."

Wu Changxiu looked at it when she heard the sound, and her red and swollen eyes showed disdain and hatred......
