After the Liao family entered the capital, they returned to their residence in a very low-key manner, and after a day's rest, the old lady Qi decided to enter the palace on this day.

After the Queen Mother got up early, she received news from the palace gate, saying that the old man Qi had entered the palace to see the driver. The Queen Mother was overjoyed, and she was busy preparing her father's favorite snacks and preparing her father's favorite tea, waiting for her father's arrival with peace of mind. However, time passed little by little, but the Queen Mother never saw her father's figure.

Where have the people gone?

Naturally, it went to the emperor.

Since the old man Qi walked into the Yancui Pavilion, he had a secret conversation with the emperor, and even Fuhai, who had been waiting by his side, was invited out.

The little eunuch sent out by the Queen Mother to look for people came back to report that someone saw that the old lady Qi seemed to be heading towards the Wenxiang of Yancui Pavilion, which made the Queen Mother a little puzzled, but in any case, at the moment, seeing her father and talking about business is the most important thing, and she didn't care too much, so she took her subordinates to Yancui Pavilion in person.

When she came to the courtyard, Concubine Zuo heard that the Queen Mother was coming, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and she hurriedly came out to pick up the car.

"Concubine, welcome the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother swept the woman kneeling in front of her with a condescending gaze, and responded: "Get up." ”

Zuo Niangniang got up at this time.

"The emperor is in good health? The mourning family came to take a look today. ”

The Queen Mother said as she walked inside. Concubine Zuo was a little embarrassed, stop? Or don't stop? Before Concubine Zuo could make her own judgment, Fu Hai, who was guarding the door, greeted her.

After seeing the ceremony, Fu Hai took out a note from his sleeve and presented it to the Queen Mother.

"What is this?"

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, the slave is not clear, but if someone wants the slave to give this thing to the mother when the mother comes."

The Queen Mother was a little suspicious, could it be that this eunuch wanted to delay time? Even so, how long can a thin note be delayed? The Queen Mother opened the note, but her face changed, and she sighed lightly, "That's it, the mourning family won't go back to the palace to wait, just wait here." ”

Seeing this, Concubine Zuo understood nine times out of ten in her heart, thinking about it, this must have been written by the old lady Qi, no matter what, she finally stopped the queen mother's footsteps. Concubine Zuo welcomed the Queen Mother to the side hall and accompanied her personally. The two heroines with their own hearts sat there almost without saying a word.

Inside the main hall.

"The emperor has thought about it?"

"Yes. Actually, I've been thinking about it for a long time. ”

"However, if an old man comes to mix in this matter, it will inevitably make people feel unfair, right?"

"Don't worry about it, old man. I'll do the rest. I invited you here this time, just to protect the lives of a cadre of people through your prestige. ”

"Your Majesty, you really dare to go off the rails, if the old man comes to the Queen Mother first this time, I'm afraid, all your thoughts will be in vain."

The emperor shook his head, "I know that you will come here first." ”

……

About an hour later, the door of the main hall suddenly opened, and the two women, as if reflexively, stood up almost at the same time, looked at each other, and then came to the courtyard one after the other.

The one who walked out of the gate in front was the emperor who had not been seen for many days, and the old lady Qi walked behind with a smile on his face.

Looking at the two men in front of her standing in a harmonious group, the Queen Mother felt that she seemed to be a little dazzled.

"Fuhai, pass the decree, please see the Xianwang Imperial Garden."

When Fu Hai heard this, his heart was stunned, and then he turned around to deliver his will.

"Father, this is ......"

"Let's go, if there is anything you want to say and ask, go back to Tonghe Hall and make plans."

The Queen Mother was a little hesitant, but according to the current situation, there was no disadvantage to her side, although the appearance of the emperor did surprise her, but seeing her father's peace of mind, the Queen Mother had to put her heart down first, and then left the Yancui Pavilion with the old lady Qi.

Hearing the emperor's sudden summons, Yun Zhen, who was discussing with the ministers in the courtroom, was no less surprised than his mother, and even the civil and military ministers in the courtroom looked at Yun Zhen with different expressions.

Yun Zhen dispersed first, then sorted out his clothes, and hurried to the imperial garden.

When he saw the emperor standing in front of him with a ruddy complexion, he knew that he was being put on a secret role. It seems that the road of Dragon Royal Return to Heaven is impassable, so I can only choose another method that I don't really want to use......

"Coming?" Seeing Yun Zhen, the emperor greeted with a smile, "I haven't been out for a long time, so accompany me." ”

"Yes." Yun Zhen slowly walked to the emperor's side.

"Follow from afar, I have something to talk to Prince Xian."

The emperor commanded, and then turned and walked slowly along the shady walk along the lake. Yun Zhen followed behind the emperor, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"Lately, I've worked hard for you."

"It's not hard, it's just worrying about you."

The emperor nodded, and then smiled bitterly, "I've been thinking about it these days, if the imperial brother is still here, I will be very relieved to see you so diligent." ”

Yun Zhen raised his eyebrows, puzzled why the emperor wanted to mention his father.

"Yun Zhen, don't you think I'm stupid?"

Yun Zhen was stunned for a moment, "The minister is frightened, where did you say this, Your Majesty!" ”

The emperor smiled bitterly again, "Since you don't think so, then why would I be so tolerant of what your mother and son have done for so many years?" Have you thought about it? ”

When Yun Zhen heard this, he was a little panicked in his heart, and he was about to kneel, but he was suddenly stopped by the emperor.

"I'm just talking about this today, I just want to have a casual chat with you, and I don't have the slightest sense of blame, so I don't need to do that."

Yun Zhen nodded. The uncle and nephew continued to walk slowly forward.

"For so many years, whether it is the Queen Mother or you, no matter what I do, I have endured it. There are not a few concubines in the harem, but they don't have a lifetime to raise, even if they are pregnant, they will slip the fetus, do you really think I don't know why? Isn't it strange that no matter what the courtiers say, I still give you a lot of real power, giving you the right to kill and decide? Even when you broke the jade seal when you were young, I didn't blame you for anything, do you understand why? ”

"The Emperor's ......"

The emperor smiled and sighed lightly, "I either don't understand what you want, or because I understand, I don't do anything." Because of that dragon chair, I will return it to you sooner or later. ”

Yun Zhen didn't explain anything, just listened quietly, the other party had already said it so clearly, and it was too hypocritical to explain anything.

"I have been slow to give you this position, one is that I think you are still young and need some experience, so as not to rush to the position as I did back then, and become a mess; Second, I have my own selfishness, thinking that I can use the power in my hands to let myself find the person I have been looking for. So, it dragged on and on, until now. As he spoke, the emperor looked at Yun Zhen beside him, "In the end, I'm sorry for your mother and son." ”

"If I hadn't been greedy to hunt the black bear when I and the imperial brother accompanied the queen mother on the safari, the imperial brother would not have been seriously injured that time, and he would not have become weaker and weaker since then, and naturally, he would not have made you a posthumous son."

"Why did the emperor say this to his ministers?" Yun Zhen said talkatively.

"Because, you've grown up." The emperor looked at Yun Zhen and said, "Moreover, my mind is already there." ”

While speaking, the uncle and nephew had already come to a rockery, the emperor pointed to the pavilion on the mountain, Yun Zhen understood, and the two walked up one after the other and sat down.

"In the past few months, I have watched you arrange and arrange, although things are complicated, but they are arranged quite carefully. Although some people use it incorrectly, it can be disposed of in the shortest possible time. I know it's time to give way to you. ”

"What?" Yun Zhen couldn't believe his ears.

The emperor smiled and said, "I am a person who has placed my love on heaven and earth, and I have been trapped in this palace for more than 20 years, isn't it enough?" Moreover, as I said just now, my mind is already over, and there is no point in staying here any longer except to embarrass myself. ”

"Although I don't know how you found Meng, in the end, I can see her again in my lifetime, and I will have no regrets in this life."

"......"

The emperor shook his head, "Nothing, even if your purpose at the time was something else, but at least the result was to let me see her, and that was enough." ”

"The emperor's ......" Yun Zhen looked at the emperor's slightly red eyes, and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of empathy, he stood up and knelt on the ground, and this time, it was not a performance or a play, but he really felt guilty.

"It's all said, today, I just want to talk to you casually, hurry up."

The emperor helped Yun Zhen up.

"I know that you will definitely be suspicious of what I just said, after all, I also have a newborn child, but don't worry, I have made all these arrangements, and I will never repeat the mistakes of the past."

Speaking of this, the emperor paused and looked at Yun Zhen, "Ming'er is a good day, I will come to the court, and when the realm comes, I will announce the Zen throne." ”

"In such a hurry?" Yun Zhen asked. For some reason, the things he had been dreaming of, when he got it immediately, made him feel a little incredible.

"I'm in a hurry."

After saying this, the emperor fell silent, looking at the waves of light lines in the Imperial Garden Lake from a distance.

After a long time, the emperor asked again, "Don't worry, what are you going to do?" ”

"Minister...... Trying to save her. ”

The emperor sighed, "I'm afraid it's not easy...... Yun Zhen, you have to remember that from tomorrow onwards, you will not belong to yourself, so no matter how much power you have, there are times when you can only have the heart and not the power. If you are reluctant, you are afraid that you will hurt others and yourself. Think about it again......"
