The four looked at each other, Pei Jinzhen took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then squatted down and bowed deeply, "The courtiers have seen the queen mother, please ask the queen mother to be a thousand years old!" ”

That parting, I didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns.

In less than two months, they have experienced so much for each other.

When we met again, we felt like a world away.

Pei Jinzhen unexpectedly moistened his eyes.

Empress Zheng didn't get much better, she stepped forward and helped Pei Jinzhen up with her own hands, her eyes fixed on her face, looked at her for a moment, and then slowly moved down, seeing that although she was dressed thickly, as long as she looked carefully, she could still distinguish the slightly bulging lower abdomen, and couldn't help nodding her head while repeating her voice, "Okay, good!" It's good to come back safely! But his eyes were also quietly red.

The hands of the two were held together, and Queen Zheng's hands were as cold as in the impression, but at this moment, with an inexplicable comfort, Pei Jinzhen was reassured.

Raising her eyes, her gaze touched behind Empress Zheng, a familiar figure, but she couldn't move it anymore.

"Brother Sheng'er......," she called out with unconcealed fervour.

In the arms of the nurse, wearing a royal blue brocade flower jacket, isn't it Brother Sheng'er?

Empress Zheng raised her hand and beckoned, and the nurse immediately stepped forward with Brother Sheng in her arms and said to Pei Jinji, "Madame is back." Some time ago, Brother Sheng had to cry every day to find his mother, and these days are getting better. ”

Pei Jinzhen looked at Brother Sheng with a good eye, and always felt that he seemed to have lost some weight. After a while, he reacted, "He's going to call his mother?" At that time, Pei Jinzhen was still very worried, and made a special trip to ask Zhuang Lao, until Zhuang Lao assured that this was normal, but sooner or later, she put her mind at ease.

Before she left, Brother Sheng would just make a few sounds of unknown meaning.

The nurse nodded and said happily, "Yes! One day, I suddenly shouted, presumably because I missed my wife so much. ”

I didn't expect that after such a long time, I would call my mother.

Pei Jinzhen couldn't tell whether he was happy or lost in his heart for a while, and in an instant, he felt very sour in his heart, and unexpectedly, tears welled up in his eyelashes. Stretched out his hand tremblingly towards Brother Sheng, "Brother Sheng, come!" Mother's hug! ”

It's just that Xu hasn't seen it for a long time, Brother Sheng has been crooked in the arms of the nurse, looking at Pei Jinzhen with a pair of big and distinct eyes, and even holding his fingers a little shyly, which is completely different from the previous time when he saw Pei Jinzhen and rushed over regardless of it.

Seeing Pei Jinzhen stretching out his hand, he seemed to be frightened, and with a shrunk, he turned around and threw himself into the nurse's arms, burying his head deeply.

Pei Jinzhen poked out his hand and threw himself into the air, and his face was a little stiff.

The nurse's face was also a little embarrassed, and after glancing at Pei Jinji's face, she whispered to Brother Sheng, "Brother Sheng, what's wrong?" Aren't you missing your mother? Now that I see my mother, why are I embarrassed again? ”

Pei Jinzhen was a little uncomfortable, but he had to smile and coax, "What's wrong with Brother Sheng?" But I haven't seen my mother for a long time, so I'm a little angry with my mother? My mother didn't mean it, and my mother didn't want to leave for so long, so I couldn't live with Brother Sheng...... I haven't seen you for a day, my mother's heart is like being cut by a knife, and it hurts so much......" Speaking of this, Pei Jinzhen finally couldn't help it, and tears fell.

Empress Zheng sighed and gave Su Xin a light glance, and the latter immediately stepped forward willingly and took out a handkerchief for Pei Jinzhen.

Empress Zheng persuaded, "The child hasn't seen you for so long, so it's naturally a little rusty, but it's okay, take your time, don't be too anxious." ”

Pei Jinzhen nodded with a slightly gloomy expression, "The queen mother is right. She only glanced at Brother Sheng again, but saw that he was secretly looking at her, and she couldn't help but smile again.

After a pause, Empress Zheng frowned and looked at her and said, "How did you get in?" ”

Pei Jinzhen had expected this question, so he confessed, "I happened to know a secret passage leading to the palace, so I came in with the intention of giving it a try." However, just in case, the secret passage has been sealed for the time being. ”

Pei Jinzhen thought that even if he told the truth, he was afraid that it would be difficult to dispel the doubts of Empress Zheng and Emperor Yonghe.

didn't expect that Empress Zheng didn't have any different colors after hearing this, and after being stunned for a while, she nodded instead.

It made Pei Jinzhen look at her a little strangely.

Empress Zheng didn't seem to notice her gaze at all, but sighed, "You come in at this time, and I don't know if it's good or bad." After a slight pause, she said again, "Before you came, Your Majesty happened to have someone from there, saying that Wudingmen was afraid that it would not be able to stop it, so let everyone in the harem gather in the main hall immediately, and now, it is safer there." Hongu was planning to take Brother Sheng over. ”

"Since you're here, without further ado, let's go over together!"

For a moment, Pei Jinzhen almost had the idea of holding Brother Sheng and escaping from the dark passage, but it was only for a moment, she calmed down and nodded under the calm gaze of Empress Zheng.

Empress Zheng instantly put away the imperceptible judgment in her eyes, handed her hand to Pei Jinzhen and said, "Since that's the case, let's go quickly!" ”

Pei Jinzhen replied "yes", held her hand, and followed her steps.

As he walked, he said, "These guards are all sent by the Hou Ye to pick me up, and they are the most loyal, take them all with you, and when it is critical, they may be able to help." ”

Empress Zheng nodded and didn't say anything.

Along the way, Pei Jinzhen looked around, and it was still the same as before, with occasional forbidden army patrols, in good order, but there were no palace people.

After a little silence, she asked the doubts in her heart.

Emperor Zheng really didn't care about her, but replied lightly, "In today's situation, I am most afraid of causing trouble to the palace wall, just in case, the palace is ordered to leave and serve except for the palaces, and the rest are gathered in one place, guarded by heavy soldiers, and in order to prevent chaos, you are not allowed to move around at will." If he does not obey, he will be immediately put to death. As for these people around him, if they have different intentions, they will all be killed. At first, they didn't believe in evil, so they made an example of chickens and monkeys a few times, shed some blood, and naturally became honest. ”

Empress Zheng said plainly, but Pei Jinzhen listened to it with a heartbeat.

Empress Zheng is the person who has gone through the past, how can she repeat the mistakes of the past after the turmoil of the previous dynasty?

It's just that those people think she is good on weekdays, and they don't believe that she will use such a heavy punishment and break the law with her body, and she will have to pay the price.

Looking at Empress Zheng's calm face, Pei Jinzhen's heart became more stable.

On the way to Chengming Palace, I also met several groups of people, including Hui Concubine with Princess Ning and the two small county lords of Ning Wangfu, as well as other palace concubines and important ministers.
