Tong He waited outside the door for a long time, and saw Pei Zhao slowly walking out of it. He has always been such a cold and distant appearance, but today is even more than before, he is very worried, and hurriedly stepped forward to wait for him to sit on the royal chariot and go to Daming Palace, just when he walked to the palace gate, Pei Zhao, who had been silent, suddenly stopped him:

"You say, if I use some means to hide this matter from Ah Ying for the rest of my life, will I not let it?"

Tong He was shocked in his heart, and after thinking about it carefully, he still said frankly: "Back to Your Majesty, although the old slave has not served Niangniang for a long time, according to the old slave, Niangniang has always been a kind and frank person, and he definitely will not want His Majesty to hide anything from her in such a matter." ”

As he spoke, he cautiously looked at Pei Zhao's expression, only to see his brows frown slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, Fang said lightly: "You go to the shop on Suzaku Street to buy a few Qingtuanzi and come back." ”

Tong He knew that it was bought for Su Ying when he heard it, so he hurriedly agreed, and said: "Your Majesty, on the day of His Royal Highness's birthday, the old slave waited for His Majesty and Niangniang to go out of the palace to play, and that night Niangniang didn't seem to have any appetite for Qingtuanzi, so it was better for the old slave to take Yuanlu to walk around Suzaku Street and find some fresh food for Niangniang." ”

That day......

If he had been more vigilant before that, wouldn't he be like this today? If he was ruthless and took down the Su family at the beginning, would Su Shi have no chance to make a move against Ah Jin? If......

The most powerless word in this world is "if", Pei Zhao has never hated himself as much as he does now in his life, full of remorse and sorrow intertwined into a rope, firmly strangled his heart, he was almost suffocated to death, how good would it be if he could really die like this? Anyway, Ah Ying only has a three-year lifespan, and after three years, they will sleep underground together, aren't they the same looks?

Three years later.

Thinking of this, he only felt a faint trace of expectation and joy in his heart, and saw that Tong He was still waiting for his command with low eyebrows, so he said lightly: "Qingtuanzi wants honey beans, as for the things on the side, you can just look at it." ”

Tong He agreed, called Yuanlu over, and the two of them walked to the end of Suzaku Street together, and the soldiers guarding the palace gate opened the palace gate as early as the moment they saw the imperial chariot, and he walked into the Chaoyang Palace, and saw that the room was full of bright and soft light of the palace lamps, and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing with the lights?" ”

Yun Luo hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, it's already time." ”

He let out a "hmm", and then realized that it was the time to light the day, and he didn't even realize it. In fact, he has been like this for the past few days, and his life has been muddy, and there is no difference between day and night, it is all just torment.

Yun Luo said: "Your Majesty, Zhaorong Niangniang is here, and now she is accompanying Niangniang inside." ”

Pei Zhao was shocked, only thinking that Su Ying had woken up, and hurriedly strode into the warm pavilion, and saw that Su Ying was still asleep groggily on the bed, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that Yun Shan was sitting on the side wiping her sweat with a handkerchief, so he asked, "Why didn't the Wu family come to serve the sick?" ”

This voice was so awe-inspiring that Yun Shan was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Sister Wu is chanting and praying for her mother in Baohua Hall day and night. She looked at Pei Zhao's expression and said cautiously: "This is your personal order a few days ago, Your Majesty is ...... Don't remember? ”

Yes, on the day Ah Ying fell into a coma, he made a lot of decrees, he ordered Yun Luo to enter the palace, ordered Wu Yuehua to go to Baohua Hall to chant and pray for blessings, and even granted amnesty to the world to open Enke, he used all the means that he had disdained before, just hoping that Ah Ying would wake up sooner, she finally woke up today, but next, how should he tell her?

Because Duan Niang and Tong He are not here today, Yun Shan personally served her at dinner, she ordered someone to spread the meal on the table in the warm pavilion according to the practice of the previous days, but Pei Zhao did not sit down at the table, but walked to the hall, Fang said lightly: "I have something to ask you." ”

Yun Shan and Yun Luo glanced at each other, and hurriedly said, "Please give instructions from Your Majesty." ”

"You have always been close to Ah Jin, and you must know her character very well." There was not a trace of ripple in his voice: "I ask you, if I don't want her to know about these things, and want to hide them from her for the rest of my life, will she live a happier life?" ”

Yun Luo was still a little stunned, but Yun Shan had already spoken quickly: "Your Majesty, please forgive the concubine for talking too much, how can Your Majesty hide such a thing?" ”

She asked so directly that Yunluo was startled, and hurriedly whispered: "Zhaorong Niangniang can't speak to Your Majesty like this." But he unconsciously looked at Pei Zhao, hesitated for a long time, and said:

"Today, the slave maid has already told His Majesty, with the nature of the mother, I am afraid that she would rather know the truth than His Majesty to deceive her like this."

Yun Shan also said:

"Your Majesty loves Niangniang so much, why don't you want to believe that Niangniang may be a hundred times stronger than Your Majesty imagined? His Majesty just said that he wanted to hide it from his mother, but the princess was Niangniang's biological flesh and blood, and the concubine thought that as a mother, instead of being deceived by the truth and never seeing her child for the rest of her life, it was better to know the truth as soon as possible, at least, she could also look at the child's spiritual position and pray for the child. ”

When Pei Zhao walked out of prison today, he was thinking in his heart, the same question, even if one person showed the slightest agreement, he would not hesitate to hide it from Ah Jin, he even thought of many kinds of rhetoric, as long as he gave an order, the people in this palace would definitely follow his instructions and never let Ah Ying know such bad news.

He thought about so many things, but he couldn't ignore the deepest voice in his heart, that voice was saying that his Ah Ying would not want to deceive her like this, instead of living in a false dream, it was better to face the truth calmly, even if the truth was already full of holes.

He asked others again and again, not because he didn't know Ah Jin, but because he knew so well, he urgently needed a different voice to tell him that he could hide it from her, but he asked the three people who knew the truth best, and they all had the same answer.

He was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice was hoarse and tired: "I will tell her myself that none of you are allowed to leak half a point." ”

The two kneeling people hurriedly replied "yes", Yun Luo hesitated for a long time, and Fang said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has been serving by the mother's side since she was a child, and the slave maid treats the slave and maid so well...... In the past few days, the imperial doctors have been in and out, and the bitter medicine has been boiled bowl after bowl, and the slaves and maids have a very bad look at them...... Slave maid, slave maid courage, begging Your Majesty to tell the slave maid, what is the state of the mother's body? ”

She was anxious, and said this incoherently, and Pei Zhao listened to her without saying a word, and after a long time, Fang said: "If you want to know, just ask yourself, no matter what you ask, don't let her know." ”

Yun Luo heard his stern and cold tone, and knew that Su Jin's condition at this time must not be good, her hands trembled terribly, and after Pei Zhao turned around and walked into the warm pavilion, Yun Shan helped her up, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Imperial Medical Office to ask." ”

Yun Luo quickly wiped a handful of tears and said eagerly: "Zhaorong Niangniang, the slave knows that you and Niangniang have always been close, the slave and the maid are brave, and beg the slave to lend the token to the slave maid, and the slave maid wants to do something." ”

The token is one of the status symbols of the harem concubines and the emperor's relatives, if you want to tell the palace people to do an important errand, you will use the token as an intermediary to reduce trouble, Yun Luo is no longer a palace person at this time, and you should also use the queen's phoenix seal, thinking of this, Yun Shan can't help but wonder: "What do you want the token of the palace to do?" ”

Yun Luo said: "Zhaorong Niangniang, in this situation, it must be Your Majesty who wants to tell Niangniang about the early death of the princess in person, and the slave is afraid that the queen will not be able to withstand this blow, so I thought, if I can go to the detention center to see Mrs., let Mrs. bring a handwritten letter in." Zhaorong Niangniang didn't know, Madame, she has always loved the queen the most, but now that such a thing has happened, the slave and maid have the courage to say that His Majesty will go in person, but I am afraid that it will not be as useful as the slave and maid. Maybe the mother will feel better with the comfort of her wife. ”

Yun Shan nodded again and again, thought about it and said: "I think my token may not be very useful, it is better to do this, let's go to the Imperial Medical Office first, and then go to the Baohua Hall to find Wu Zhaoyi, she has the right to associate the six palaces, and her token must be a hundred times more useful than mine." ”

......

When Su Ying woke up, the room was full of the fragrance of Qingtuanzi, she opened her eyes in a daze, and only vaguely saw a tall and straight figure sitting at the table, naturally it was Pei Zhao.

As soon as she stood up, Pei Zhao turned her head, saw that she was awake and hurriedly walked over to hold her in his arms, and said with a smile: "You woke up at the right time, Qingtuanzi is still hot." ”

Xiao Gong'e walked in with a tray in her hand, set up a table next to the bed, Pei Zhao picked up half a Qingtuanzi and fed it to her, and said softly: "Your body has not healed yet, you can't eat more, you are only allowed to eat half a day these days, and I will take you out of the palace when you are well, okay?" ”

Honey Bean Qingtuanzi tastes very sweet and soft, she has been sick for so long, and finally has some appetite at this time, so she eagerly raised her head and looked at Pei Zhao: "Have you been to see our children?" How is she doing now? ”

Pei Zhao wiped the corners of his mouth for her and said softly, "She's fine." ”

"Then can I ......" halfway through the words, she remembered that she was still sick, and it would not be good if she gave the child after the illness, so she twittered Pei Zhao a lot of things about the child, Pei Zhao told her one by one, she was relieved, and her heart was full of anticipation: "I have to take care of my body quickly and go to see our children as soon as possible." ”
