"The wind and rain are coming, and the night is coming......"

Empress Dowager Shen stood at the door of the Pear Blossom Palace, put her hands behind her back, stood up, looked up at the sky, and said softly.

"Shinu, you say, am I old?"

Shiinu stood there with his hands folded, with a sad face, sighed, and complained in a low voice:

"Do you still have the heart to think about this? Why did Prince Ning come out with a son? I lost it! He didn't hide it yet, but Peony knew that he was still colluding with the Han family......"

"In my opinion, he just asked Han Zhen to help him find his son."

Empress Dowager Shen said lightly, and when she turned around, she saw Shen Shen with his mouth wide open, dumbfounded, standing next to Shi Nu.

"Ouch, my lord! You're scared of the old slave! Shi Nu was so frightened by her that he slapped his chest, complained, and helped Empress Dowager Shen to walk back:

"It's going to rain, let's go inside."

Seeing Empress Dowager Shen and Shinu walking in casually, Shen Shen was a little out of breath, turned around sharply, and hurriedly chased after him:

"Mother, what were you talking about? Isn't it a pity that my sister is here? Where is she? Gone so soon? ”

Empress Dowager Shen sat down calmly and glanced at Shinu.

Shinu understood, and ordered the people in the hall: "Check the various palaces." Today, I'm afraid that this thunder will not be small, so don't make an accident. There is me in the main hall, and you don't need to make rules. ”

Everyone agreed, and they all bowed their heads and withdrew.

Only then did Empress Dowager Shen beckon Shen Shen to sit down beside her, and whispered everything that the Lord of Peony had come to report, without the slightest concealment.

Shen Shen felt a chill on his spine after hearing this: "The two of them have already been in contact?" ”

Empress Dowager Shen raised her eyebrows lightly: "Have you already been in contact?" ”

"It's hard to find such a place, it's a mixed bag. To put it more seriously, both of them are daughters and can't sit down. But this time I met, and I listened to the meaning of my sister's words, but there were only one or two casual ones. This shows that there is a tacit understanding between them. ”

Shen Shen was worried, "Originally, it was difficult enough to deal with an unpredictable Han Zhen. Why did Uncle Ning Wang be added now?

"If they knew about what the imperial brother had done, announced it, and forced the queen mother to announce the abolition of the emperor, wouldn't Uncle Ning just ascend the throne in the name of Taizong's son-in-law?

"That Bai Yongbin is still gone! What can people do about this? No way! I've got to go to the palace! I have never dared to tell my senior brother about Bai Yongbin, it seems that I have to tell him about it!

"They have convenient manpower outside, and they have to catch the one surnamed Bai quickly! The handle of the imperial brother cannot fall into the hands of these two people! ”

Seeing Shen Shen scratching her ears and cheeks in a hurry, Empress Dowager Shen couldn't help but smile, and reached out to hold her beside her: "You give me an honest seat!" Listen to me! ”

Shen Shen puffed out his mouth and hummed.

Empress Dowager Shen sighed softly, raised her eyes, and looked out of the main hall.

After a long time, Fang said softly: "Do you know why the first emperor chose Han Zhen as the auxiliary minister?" ”

Shen Shen shook his head blankly.

"When the first emperor was ill, he was already very arrogant, domineering, warlike, and unwilling to respect the prince."

Empress Dowager Shen fell into the memory, and her tone was light, even with a hint of comfort and gentleness.

"Because he was extremely loyal to the emperor.

"Back then, after I gave birth, he was the first to run to the palace to congratulate the emperor. The first emperor laughed at him, saying that a little princess had nothing to make a fuss about.

But he said: Niangniang is nearly thirty years old, and she has never given birth, and there are many discussions among the subordinates, thinking that Niangniang is not worthy of her position. Now that Mr. Niangniang has a daughter, this shows that he can have another son in the future. It is a blessing for His Majesty to be able to add another son-in-law.

When the emperor heard this, he laughed. His voice was so loud that I could hear it clearly in the inner sanctum, and it was so angry and funny at that time, but it was also sweet in my heart.

"If I can give birth to a daughter, I will naturally be able to have a son in a year or two. Your Majesty is prosperous in spring and autumn. Who said that in the future, I, the son of Shen Niangniang of the main palace, will not be able to be the prince of the court?

"In particular, the prince used to weep in front of people at that time, and he was weak. It's really not liked by the generals in the DPRK and China. Me too. ”

Why does the queen mother and Han Zhen still have this layer of origin?!

Shen Shen seemed to be listening to a book from heaven, his expression was dazed and sluggish.

"But we were happy, Yan Guan broke in, forced Your Majesty, and disposed of you at that time...... Dispose of my miserable child......"

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Shen's eyes turned red, her trembling hand stroked Shen Shen's hair, and with a slight force, she hugged her in her arms.

Han Zhen was so angry that he had a big fight with him.

In the midst of the quarrel, Han Zhen rejected all the men in the Nan family at that time.

"The crown prince is cowardly and eccentric, and the four princes who were still alive at that time were weak and sickly. The fifth prince was pampered and had a violent temper, and the sixth prince refused to study......

Then he said that King Ning was hypocritical, King Lotus was weak, and a few of the old emperor's uncle's family were useless.

"I remember that I was so angry that I got up from the bed by Yan Guan at that time, and through the screen, I saw Han Zhen pointing in my direction and shouting:

"If that is really a destiny star from heaven and can control the world, my Great Xia will produce an empress and unify the Quartet, is there anything wrong with it?!"

When Empress Dowager Shen said this, she shook her head with a wry smile.

Shen Shen only felt that his forehead was jumping suddenly, as if some thought was about to break out of the cocoon, but it only flickered in his mind and disappeared.

"And then? If he was present, how could the queen mother chase her out alone and almost kill Yan Guan? ”

Empress Dowager Shen pursed a light smile on the corner of her mouth and lowered her eyes:

"Because at that time, the prince went. He is the crown prince, I am his nominal queen mother, I give birth, he naturally has to care. This is the right reason, and no one can refute it.

However, just as Han Zhen finished shouting those words to Yan Guan, he shivered and flashed out from behind the flowers, looked at the first emperor, and cried.

Shen Shen's heart sank: "The imperial brother actually heard Han Zhen's words, so wouldn't he have murderous intentions towards Han Zhen?" ”

"yes...... In front of him, the first emperor naturally wanted to rebuke Han Zhen first, and then appease him, and finally order Yan Guan to leave the palace.

"At this time, I watched our cowardly prince from behind the screen, almost blindly, walked up to Yan Guan, and told him clearly: This matter is related to the life of his own sister, please Yan Jian Zheng do not publicize it, and mention it to anyone next to him.

So, Yan Guan, who was not gagged, shouted all the way: The princess is a demon star, and she will slaughter the Nan clan and overthrow the world.

"That's why I was beaten up."

Empress Dowager Shen said lightly, looked down at the mother and daughter holding together, trembled slightly, and whispered the conclusion:

"That's why, before the first emperor was on his deathbed, the only thing he asked to swear today was to be filial to me and protect his poor sister."

Because the crown prince, as early as when his only sister was born, had already killed her once.

Shen Shen closed his eyes.

In the bottom of my heart, there is no trace of guilt for Emperor Yongxi.
