Inside the Fengqi Pavilion.

Since Mingyue was ordered to leave, the queen has been waiting.

She frowned slightly, her face was anxious, and she kept pacing back and forth in the huge lotus hall, always restless.

The end of the unitary hour.

Outside the hall, the clouds were heavy, the wind and rain were blowing, and a burst of lightning and thunder fell, and the gloomy sky was torn in half by the lightning, and the hearts of the people in the hall suddenly jumped.

The white gauze palace lamps on the corridor are swaying.

The queen secretly stroked her chest, frightened.

She walked over to the Taishi's chair, clenched the armrests, and sat down slowly. When I picked up the cup on the coffee table, I found that it was already cold.

"Someone ...... coming"

A palace maid came in with her hands tied: "What does the mother command?" ”

She opened her mouth, but her mind was in turmoil. After a long time, he sighed softly and knocked on the cup at hand,

The maidservant came in with new tea.

The strong wind blew the door of the temple swaying, and a trace of cold wind blew in faintly through the bead curtain, making people chill. Listening to the sound of the temple door, her dull eyes twitched, and a pair of eyes stared straight out.

"But is anyone coming?"

was asked so suddenly, and the palace people who were waiting were a little stunned.

"Back to Niangniang, it's raining heavily today, and our palace gate is closed, and no one comes."

"Hmm."

The blazing fire in his gaze then dimmed again.

The wind was blowing, and the windows were banging frequently, and the lights in the hall were endless, and the faint candlelight was swaying.

At the beginning of the day.

"Quick! Open the door ......"

"Anyone? Open the door! ”

In the pouring rain, the sound of shouting at the palace gate was heard, and the palace people who kept vigil hurriedly got up.

"Sister Mingyue?"

"Get out of the way!"

Under the torrential rain, Mingyue was drenched, and the white paper umbrella in her hand swayed, almost unable to hold on.

She stepped back, and there was a person behind her!

"My lord, please."

Immediately, a man with thin bones and half a gray head walked in with Gong Dao, and he was also squinted, but he just lowered his head and kept up with the footsteps of the person in front of him.

With a "squeak", the door of the temple was pushed open.

"Mother, someone is coming!"

The queen was crooked on the couch, listening to the movement in the hall, the half-squinted eyes opened like an electric shock, supported the sore arms, and hurriedly got up to greet her.

"The sinner gives the emperor ......"

"Sir, don't be polite!"

At this moment, the two of them, like chickens in soup, can wring out two handfuls of water all over their bodies, and the queen looks at the person in front of her, feeling distressed and grateful.

Those eyes quickly swept from the hall.

"What are you still doing? Go and prepare two buckets of hot water and let the kitchenette warm up with a glass of soju! ”

"Mother, don't bother."

Maybe it was a long time to hurry, and Mingyue's hurried voice already revealed wisps of hoarseness.

"Just find a set of clothes for the gentleman, and the slave and maid will go down and clean up by themselves." As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at the person beside her, "Sir, please come with me." ”

"Yes."

Looking at their backs, her hanging heart finally let go.

Half an hour later.

The queen sat on the Taishi chair, quietly sipping tea, and her movements were very elegant.

Outside the window, the rain was dense and the wind was fierce, but the hall was extremely quiet.

In the main hall, only the bright moon was left waiting.

After this toss, the old man below was in good spirits, he changed into a clean cotton white robe, and when he saw the people above, he shook his hands and knelt down.

"The sinner meets the queen's mother, long live the mother!"

The queen holds the cup in her left hand, and the white porcelain cap falls on her right hand.

She tried her best to suppress the tension in her heart, and her voice sounded faint.

"Ji Xian, this palace braved the heavy rain and brought you here overnight, do you know why?"

He shook his head face down.

"The sinner doesn't know."

"By the grace of God, it is already a great grace to be able to let the guilty minister return to his hometown......"

There was silence in the temple.

No one spoke.

After a while, the queen's voice sounded slowly, her words were earnest, but there was an irresistible spirit in her tone.

"Jixian, although you are pedantic, but also erudite Confucian, but also a righteous courtier, dare to admonish the Son of Heaven, and do not fear the power of the minister, now in the temple, the world is far away, natural disasters are continuous, and the latter is always the majority......"

She paused, then continued:

"Even though he is the master of the harem, there are many things, and this palace is also willing and powerless."

"Virtuous mother!"

The kneeling man bowed again, but the queen stared straight at him.

"Don't worry, let Bengong finish first."

"Since ancient times, the faint monarch has slaughtered the world, but the Ming monarch has benefited the people. Now that the prince is young, he is at the right time when the three views are in harmony, he should learn the scriptures and discuss the Tao, cultivate benevolence, receive righteousness, and enjoy the affairs of the world to open his mind! ”

Ji Xian arched his hands, as if he had guessed her words.

But he only sighed.

"The criminal has returned to his hometown, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility, I have a lot of talents, mother...... Let's look elsewhere. ”

knew this, but the queen did not give up.

She continued to take care of herself: "Therefore, this palace wants to ask you to be the crown prince and educate the young son on behalf of the palace, which is a rare blessing for both the Jiangshan society of Da Yin and the people of Limin!" ”

"Queen Mother, the sinner has already said it......"

"Jixian!"

She was emotional, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, her eyes stared directly at the people below, and her tone was a little choked.

"The position of this prince belongs to you!"

"The prince will stay for one day, and you will rest for one day until death, this is you...... Owe it to Hongu! You owe this palace two lives, and you owe me more than 100,000 lives to the soldiers of Da Yin, since the emperor left you with one life, this is a grace from heaven......"

"You say...... What do you take to pay it back?! ”

At the end, she stood up suddenly.

Two lines of crystal tears slipped down the queen's eyes.

There was silence in the hall.

The wind and rain are still blowing outside the window.

Ji Xian listened, first paused, and then, the lean body stood upright, only in the next moment, he kowtowed a few times towards the person on the Taishi chair, tears flowed out, as if regret and hatred, and the top of the gray head was unobstructed.

"All the sins of the sinners......

The kneeling man had tears in his eyes, shook his head and sighed repeatedly.

She knew she couldn't force him anymore!

He needed time to think.

The queen sat down slowly, trying her best to hold on to the Taishi chair and suppress the trembling of her hands.

An hour passed.

The man who knelt on the ground remained silent.

The flame in her eyes went from blazing to afterglow, and then from afterglow to ashes. And just when it was on the verge of despair......

Ji Xian suddenly prostrated down and kowtowed loudly!

His voice sounded hoarse.

"Ji Xian knows that he has sinned deeply, and it is difficult to repay the grace of heaven, but fortunately he has been promoted by the queen's mother, and he must live up to his mission, so as to repay the blood of my great Yin soldiers and atone for the sins of his lifelong sins!"

It's silent.

The person on the Taishi's chair stood up suddenly, looking very excited.

A smile immediately bloomed on the face with tears in his eyes.

"Good!"

"It is worthy of being a strategist who followed the first emperor, with courage and courage! From now on, my son will be handed over to you. ”

"This palace just said that if the prince is in one day, you will save one day, and no matter what happens in the future, you will definitely ...... Swear to protect the prince to the death! Do you hear me? ”

"Sinners remember!"

“！”

A thunderclap fell, and a flash of lightning swept through the air.

The rain outside the window seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

But the queen's beating heart has settled down.
