Su Qingcheng couldn't get an accurate answer in his heart, and his heart was tormented like a scorching fire.

Zhao Meiren's child stubbornly continued to stay in her belly, Du Nianyu was originally unwilling, but someone quietly told her that His Majesty already knew what she had done, so let her do it for herself in the future.

Du Nianyu was stupid at that time, it would be good if Su Qingcheng came to her to make a fuss, but he was so calm that she didn't know what to do for a while.

While he was thinking, a shrill voice suddenly sounded, "The Holy Lord has arrived!" ”

Du Nianyu didn't know whether to be happy or worried, and finally returned to the bedroom as quickly as possible, wiping off all the fat powder on his face.

Su Qingcheng heard that the queen was sick, and when he walked into the bedroom, he saw Du Nianyu, who was sick in the bed tent, his face was very pale, his tender eyes were closed, and his fan-like eyelashes cast a thin shadow under the shadow of the lamp.

I still couldn't help but feel soft in my heart, Du Nianyu has always been sick, so he stepped forward to ask Yumei, who was sick, and asked softly, "Nianyu's old illness has recurred?" Why don't you see a doctor? ”

Yumei sighed softly and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, as the saying goes, a long-term illness becomes a doctor, Niangniang is a heart disease, and the imperial doctor can't cure it, and she knows it herself." ”

As if in order to verify what Yumei said, the woman lying on the bed suddenly muttered in a low voice, her voice trembled, and she seemed to be very frightened and guilty, "Good boy, it's my aunt's fault, don't blame my aunt." Good boy, my aunt was blindfolded at the time, I'm sorry, don't be born in the emperor's family in the next life. ”

In his words, he has made his crimes public.

When Yumei heard this, she knelt on the ground in horror, opened her lips and wanted to justify, but she was stuck in her throat and couldn't say anything, so she could only maintain a kneeling posture and wait for Su Qingcheng to punish her.

The expression on Su Qingcheng's face was complicated, that child was originally an accident, he knew what it was like for a child not to be favored by his father since he was a child, so he didn't think about letting that child live in the world for a long time.

It's also unfair to children.

But after thinking about it, since he is now the monarch of a country, he can't live without heirs for the rest of his life, so he raised the rank of the palace maid of the Zhao family, and decided to wait for the child to grow up a little bit before he will be placed on the throne.

"Your Majesty, this matter was done by the slave maid at the instigation of the maid, and the maid was just blinded by the slave maid." Yumei opened her lips, with a cry in her voice, "Since you ascended the throne, the previous dynasty was busy with official business, and you have never set foot in Xiuhua Palace. This Xiuhua Palace is no smaller than the essence of Biyuntian, and it is so big and empty that people are afraid. Since seven years ago, the slave has been taking care of the mother, and she can't understand her weak temperament, if some mothers rely on their children, maybe how they will bully the head of the mother in the future. ”

Su Qingcheng felt a little more guilty when Yumei said this.

It was he who broke his promise first, broke his oath with her, and then fell in love with someone else and betrayed her trust.

There was a slight sigh between his lips and teeth, he leaned over and sat on the edge of the bed, and gently brushed away the broken hair on Du Nianyu's forehead with his fingers, "I'm sorry." ”

Du Nianyu slowly opened his eyes, saw Su Qingcheng's eyebrows, raised a broken smile on his face, and said weakly: "Qingcheng, why do you and I have to say sorry?" ”

Thinking of the purpose of coming today, Su Qingcheng slowly spoke, "I had a dream a few days ago, and I dreamed about something twelve years ago. This time is really fast, so fast that the dreams are no longer clear. ”

Du Nianyu's pale face seemed to recall the past, and his face was full of the beauty of his youth, "Who would have thought that the down-and-out little boy at that time had become a generation of emperors." ”

"I still remember that we buried the note and the pendant we carried under the locust tree, I don't know what you wrote on it?"

Du Nianyu tilted his head and leaned on his shoulder, "It's been too long, and I don't have any impression of the jokes I had as a child now, I guess it's about my parents' health and the like, I really can't remember it." ”

The two of them buried under the locust tree had a note, but they didn't have any tokens with them. In a short period of time, he had already developed the skill of being moody, but his amber eyes still had a hint of waves, like a withered yellow leaf floating on the surface of an eternal lake.

Seemingly unwilling, he asked, "By the way, a few days ago, I looked for a folk master of making sugar gourds, and the sugar gourds made were sweet and sour. Without waiting to ask Du Nianyu if he wanted to eat, he beckoned someone and said, "Come on, let the imperial dining room make two sugar gourds out!" ”

The red sugar gourd is wrapped in a layer of rock sugar, like frost hanging on the treetops in the early morning of winter, crystal clear, and a layer of white sesame seeds rolls on top of the syrup, but it makes people appetite when placed there.

One for each of the two people, when there was no sugar gourd left in Su Qingcheng's hand, the sugar gourd in Du Nianyu's hand had just bitten half of it.

He deliberately observed Du Nianyu's demeanor, only to see that when she bit the small half of the hawthorn, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, almost invisible, and then she kept the small piece of hawthorn in her mouth, basically biting it without teeth.

If he had been willing to pay attention before, he would have found that Du Nianyu had been an extremely hateful person for eating hawthorn for a long time.

My heart was cold.

Su Qingcheng sat up from the edge of the bed, left the words "If you don't like it, don't force yourself", and then strode out of Xiuhua Palace.

……

After a month, Qingshan came back from Da Zhou.

Untied the burden he was carrying, took out a small wooden box with corrosion marks from it, the surface had been wiped clean, and respectfully handed it to Su Qingcheng, "Your Highness, this is the wooden box you asked me to dig out from under the old locust tree at the corner of the street." ”

The wooden box was opened, and in between them were a sugar gourd, bamboo skewer and two yellowed paper rolls.

Tremblingly, he opened the rice paper, first of all, his wish, and the clear handwriting came into view—I hope that my father will one day treat me as well as my fourth brother.

The other one is hers.

The font on it is crookedly written with four words - the world is peaceful.

It is not a child's affection or family harmony, but the hope of the world's feelings.

Qingshan didn't know what words were written on it, and said truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates have verified that the queen mother is not the girl of the year, according to the grandmother who was in charge of the palace maid at that time, the little girl she coaxed away in the inn was not the queen mother." And ......"

Kyungsan hesitated, not knowing whether to continue.

"Speak quickly!"

"And when Miss Du was the palace maid next to the Empress of Zhou, she was once beheaded for angering Emperor Zhaohong, and was stopped by the Empress Dowager Jiang. Emperor Zhaohong said that the death penalty could be avoided, but the living crime was unforgivable, so he soaked Miss Du in the cold pool for three days and three nights, and sent her out of the palace. ”

Su Qingcheng's eyebrows were stained with questions, "Empress Dowager Jiang? Isn't there a disagreement between them? ”

"No, the relationship between the two of them is very good, when they first entered the palace, they were called sisters who were closer than their own sisters, and when Empress Dowager Jiang was in the Huanyi Bureau, it was Miss Du who secretly worked so that it would not be too hard, but later the two of them didn't know what to do."

"Can you find out what made Emperor Zhaohong so angry?"

Qingshan paused word by word, and gently spit out five words: "Tanuki for the prince." ”

Even though he had already made preparations, Su Qingcheng's heart still shook violently almost inaudibly.

The tanuki changed the prince, this is a heinous crime.

He never thought that the person who had been holding it in the palm of his hand for the past few years for fear of falling and putting it in his mouth for fear of melting turned out to be a snake and scorpion in sheep's clothing!

Listening to Qingshan's investigation, Empress Dowager Jiang should have been protecting Du Nianyu, but she didn't expect that Du Nianyu couldn't help but know about Entu, and the person who bit and poisoned her was Empress Dowager Jiang.

Such a human heart is really terrifying.

"Then can you find out, who was that girl back then?"

Qingshan's eyes dodged, and his Adam's apple moved, but he couldn't say a word for a while.

Su Qingcheng's eyebrows furrowed, knowing that Qingshan must have had a result, he shouted excitedly, "Say it quickly!" ”

Qingshan buried his head lower and said tremblingly, "Back to Your Majesty, that girl entered the palace with the queen mother one day...... Empress Dowager Jiang. ”
