Zhu Rong didn't take anyone, walked into the depths of the garden alone, and after half an hour, he returned to the inner courtyard, the lights in the old grandmother's room were about to go out, and when he heard that the third prince was coming, the next person lit two more candles.

The old lady had already lay down, was helped to sit up, hugged the quilt and leaned against the head of the bed, watched her grandson enter the door, and motioned for everyone else to stand down.

"Sit down, I thought you would come and discuss with me tomorrow." The old lady said, "Are you in such a hurry to give an explanation to your mother?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "The inner palace is strict, my father wants me to avoid suspicion, and nothing can be passed on to my mother. Right now, everything is focused on the queen's phoenix body. ”

The old lady sighed: "You have called her mother since you were a child, but she doesn't treat you as a son, Rong'er, grandma doesn't want to instigate your mother-son relationship, I just don't value it for you, why bother to be subject to her." ”

Zhu Rong said: "My existence, for my mother, she has done nothing wrong, and naturally I am innocent. And all I do is for my father and you, and the second is to be in peace with her. ”

The old lady knew her grandson's thoughts, so she said, "Well, when you grow up, you should make your own decisions." ”

Zhu Rong's eyes sank, and he said: "I went to visit just now, my eldest sister's dementia is getting worse and worse, grandma, what do you think?" ”

The old lady closed her eyes in pain: "But sending her back to Kishu, can you bear it, let her be there, accompany the widowed mother-in-law who lost her husband young, is it really better than being in the capital?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "Listening to my cousin's meaning, the people of Jizhou still don't believe that the prince and his son died in the abyss, and they are still waiting for him to come back." ”

The old lady sighed, "When will it be?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "This is their belief. ”

The old lady looked at her grandson and asked, "Is that what Yi'er said to you?" I heard that the people of Kishu love Prince Hoopoe, and even spontaneously went to look for it five years ago, and for many years asked God to worship Buddha and pray for their father and son. ”

Zhu Rong's head: "She said...... In the house, we must abide by the rules, but if we leave the Zhu family, we can't help it. ”

The old lady smiled: "This is what Fuyi said?" No, that child knows how to be tactful and cater the most, I'm not saying that she is shrewd and sophisticated, but she is smart, and she understands the way of living in this mansion when she first arrives. How could she say that to you, you ...... Is it familiar? ”

Zhu Rong was embarrassed and said perfunctorily: "I don't know, Xu was excited by the rhyme, and the girl yelled at me tonight and turned against her." ”

The old lady said: "You are all brought up by Hanzhi, when Hanzhi married and went to Kizhou, she cried as if she was crying, in the past few years, only when her sister didn't want to see people, she couldn't bear Hanzhi's sadness, so she didn't go to Zhuangzi to accompany her, and suddenly let her see people with dementia, so how could she stand it." ”

Zhu Rong's thick eyebrows frowned, and asked, "Grandma, why is the eldest sister demented like this?" ”

The old lady shook her head: "I don't know, your father has looked at a reliable doctor, and he only said that he was worried about illness, but when she first came back, she was fine, and you have seen it." ”

The room was quiet for a moment, and the old lady asked solemnly, "Do you suspect that your mother is doing something to her own daughter, why did she come here?" ”

"Just now I went to see the eldest sister......"

"How?"

Zhu Rong's eyes were cold, full of suspicion: "She is holding a pillow and coaxing the child to sleep." ”

The old lady's face changed drastically, and she asked in astonishment, "Really?" ”

Zhu Rong clenched his fists: "Mother, there must be something, even you have hidden it." ”
