When Li Xian entered the inner hall, Wu Cao had already woken up from his slumber. It was also thanks to the very small dose of medicine that Zhang Yi had last night, so that when she first made a fuss outside, she was conscious, but even so, her body and bones were all weak, and she couldn't get up and move around at all. Yes, she struggled in vain for a long time, and in the end she was only dressed in her bedclothes and half leaning on the head of the bed, groggily waiting for someone to come in, but she didn't expect to wait for her son, who she had been looking down on for many years.

"It's going to be you." The voice was also so light that Wu Cao could not help but gasp a little hard before he said a word: "Li Xian, you really don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster." The footsteps of Yu Linwei, who was wearing heavy armor, were too familiar to her, and even if she didn't go out, she could roughly imagine what it would be like to appear outside. Although there are only a few people in the DPRK who can launch this team, she can basically guess it, but when this son, who has been silent for many years, stood in front of her, Wu Cao was still irrepressibly taken aback.

"Mother ......" had never seen Wu Cao take off his makeup and not wear imperial clothes, Li Xian was almost stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the white-haired, skinny old woman in front of him was his biological mother who he had only dared to look up to since he was a child. Probably because the illness was not short, her cheeks were sunken with emaciation, and a pair of phoenix eyes that were once sharp enough to make people fall into an ice cave with a glance no longer had their previous look, and they seemed to be about to fall into a ball, and it was hard to even look at him. And the long hair, which used to be meticulous and stood up high, was now scattered and draped, making her already thin body even more weak. She lay there silently, as if she was about to merge with the darkness of the hall, as if she would slowly dissipate like a shadow if she blew softly.

She is old, so old that she can no longer blurt out and reprimand him, and finally can no longer decide his fate at will. Li Xian unconsciously let out a sigh of relief, and the string that had been tight in his heart suddenly loosened. This is just a tiger with its fangs and claws removed, and he should rest assured that he can no longer pose a threat to anyone.

"I thought there would be such a day." Listening to his low call containing incomparably complex emotions, Wu Cao tugged at the corners of his lips and revealed an extremely desolate smile: "It's just that I thought that the first to arrive here might be Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi, or even Taiping...... I never expected that this time, it would be you who surprised me personally. But that's right," her smile became bigger and bigger, but at the same time, she was more bitter and old: "You are Li Tang's descendant and his descendant, how can the blood flowing in your body be hot?" Just like that person, she is always cold and ruthless, sober and rational, even if she spends all the time of a young girl to manage and plan, she still can't cover it up and can't warm it.

His heart was cold and indestructible from beginning to end, and he had never wavered for her at any moment. One of her moths to the fire ends up with a cruel truth.

"Mother, your Wu Zhou world has a long-standing grudge, and it's time to ...... It's time to return to Li Tang. For the first time in his life, he had a conversation with Wu Cao in such a straightforward tone, Li Xian pursed his lips, and he was a little uneasy: "Moreover, you blindly favored the Zhang brothers, how many ridiculous things you did for the two of them, and how many innocent lives you killed!" You can't forget all that, do you? Erchen can no longer watch you act in a foolish manner, nor can I let the great mountains and rivers that my Li ancestors worked hard with blood bear other people's names, so mother, this time, Erchen is imperative! Don't blame the sons! ”

"Those two people ......" snorted lightly, and Wu Cao's expression then became sarcastic: "It's just a high-sounding excuse, this trick, I think it was handed over to you by Zhang Cambodia's old thing?" The two of them, they should have been splashed with blood on the spot at this time, right? ”

"It's not a day or two for the Zhang brothers to rely on your power to do evil, and there are many people who want to kill them, even if the ministers don't do it, they will definitely not be able to please them." He didn't intend to answer Wu Cao's question, Li Xian just said angrily: "Could it be that my mother hasn't missed her father and worried about her children for so many years, but she has taken care of those two playthings alone?!" ”

Wu Cao raised her eyebrows, it seemed that she had talked too much, and she was already a little tired: "Since you are determined to sit in that position, then these women's kindness should be thrown away." The royal people don't have a heart, and you should have seen this clearly. ”

It's also funny to say that Li Xian suspected that she was not his biological mother, but she has been wondering if Li Xian is her biological son for so many years. After all, there is no half-similarity between the two of them, whether it is appearance or heart, he is more like Li Zhi. This is also one of the reasons why she has always disliked Li Xian for so long. Such a person may be a good husband and son, but he will never be an excellent emperor.

"Since the mother knows her son's intentions, then don't delay it any longer." Thinking of Zhang Cambodia's special advice when he entered the hall, Li Xian forcibly restrained the little uneasiness and guilt in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Please also ask your mother to cooperate, don't make it difficult for your sons." ”

"Heh, if you can say such things to me, you are really grown up." Finally glancing at this son who seemed to have begun to become stranger, Wu Cao turned his head weakly and slowly closed his eyes: "That's it, that's it." ”

At the same moment, in Princess Taiping's mansion, Princess Taiping stared at the little girl who came to deliver the letter in front of her, and there was only a lot of anger left in her beautiful eyes: "You mean, the prince led the army directly to Ziwei Palace?!" "Is this still the Li Xian she knows? That brother she had never put in her eyes had the courage to do such a thing? Could it be that something has happened to his mother, so he is so unscrupulous? But Zhang Yizhi and the others didn't have any news before.

"Yes, Zhang Ge Lao and several generals accompanied the formation, Ziwei Palace was heavily surrounded, and the minions basically couldn't get close, and it took a lot of trouble to find out a few words." The little guy was articulate and clear-minded, and he explained the information he obtained clearly in a few words: "It is said that they broke into the Jixian Hall where His Majesty the Emperor lived, and even Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, the two adults, were killed, but I don't know what the situation of Your Majesty is now." ”
