In the first year of Chonghe, the new emperor Xiao Donghao ascended the throne and was known as Emperor Wenchang in history.

Xiao Donghao is not an outsider, it is the child in the cold palace, fatherless, motherless, and helpless. There are hardly any foreign relatives, and even now it is still an infant baby.

On the day of Xiao Dongli's funeral, Xiao Zan personally read out Xiao Dongli's three edicts.

The general meaning of the third edict is: the world is big, and the official Jingyu is respected. The six-foot lonely He Tuo, only the curtain is hung to correct the hearing. The whole world will dare not obey, and those who violate it will be killed. All social affairs should be left to the last, and the replacement should not be violated.

A curtain, a red gold phoenix chair, this is Shangguan Jingyu's future life. Shangguan Feng was dismissed, Shangguan Zhiyuan and Hairun were the prime ministers, and Fu Sheng and Xiao Zan were in power.

With such a layout, who dares to say half a word more?

What's more, Shangguan Jingyu is not supporting his son Xiao Zhu, but Xiao Donghao, the abandoned son of the cold palace. Even the name Xiao Donghao was given by Shangguan Jingyu.

No one understands why Shangguan Jingyu didn't let his son become the emperor.

Only Su Yan knew that Shangguan Jingyu and Xiao Dongli were imprisoned by the royal family and the world for a lifetime. Now, how can you be willing to let your only child sink into this cold cage.

Xiao Dongli handed over his life, along with the country, to her.

A curtain separates the past and the present.

Hanging eyebrows, cold eyes, and the complexion has not changed, but there is more coldness to intimidate the world. Dressed in a phoenix robe, he saw all the joys and sorrows of the world, and forgot his joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Guarding the country without him, walking through every inch of the place he once walked, dreaming back at midnight, tears wet pillows.

"The Queen Mother." Su Yan stepped forward respectfully.

Shangguan Jingyu turned around quietly, "Where's the bottle?" ”

Su Yan took a deep breath, "Follow Zuo Xiang to learn to write!" ”

"Zhiyuan's words are well written. But no matter how good it is, it can't compare to the word of the master. Shangguan Jingyu exhaled lightly, "If he is still here, he will definitely teach Zhu'er carefully." ”

"Bottler is well-behaved, and I will be at ease away from my brother." Xiao Yue walked slowly with her stomach straight.

The expression on Shangguan Jingyu's face relaxed slightly, "It's such a big month, it's not good to wait for childbirth, go around." It's really worry-free! ”

"It's still early!" Xiao Yue's face was full of happiness, "The imperial doctor said that they are twins, and I don't know if they are sons or daughters when the time comes!" ”

"Son and daughter, it's all right." Shangguan Jingyu smiled rarely.

Xiao Yue nodded, "Tomorrow is the fourth anniversary of my brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to go this year." ”

Shangguan Jingyu looked into the distance, "Then you don't have to go, it's originally my affair with him." ”

"Queen Mother, I have a sentence that has always been hidden in my heart, and now I am about to become a mother. I want to know, the answer. Xiao Yue held back for a while before speaking lowly.

"Say it." Shangguan Jingyu glanced at her, "Except for you, everyone around me is afraid of me." I don't have anyone to talk to, if even you are all talking, then I, the queen mother, should be boring. ”

"Why don't you let Zhu'er be the emperor?" Xiao Yue asked.

Except for Su Yan and Qingmo, no one knows that Zhu'er is a daughter. From childhood to adulthood, the bottle was carried by Su Yan, and no one was allowed to touch it easily, so as not to expose the identity of the bottle.

has a "son" under his knees, this queen mother, can be regarded as doing a stable job, and hundreds of officials will not criticize.

Su Yan frowned and sighed lightly.

Shangguan Jingyu smiled bitterly, "What's so good about being an emperor?" There is no freedom, and there must be a heart for the world. If you do well, you will be famous for a hundred years, and if you don't do well, you will be left stinking for 10,000 years. How can I be willing to let me and his children bear such a burden? Children should live happily and replenish the joy and happiness we have lost. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yue and Su Yan lowered their eyes.

"Queen Mother!" A childish voice quickly came from behind.

The little eunuch ran fast and kept shouting, "Your Majesty! The emperor slows down and runs! Your Majesty, be careful! ”

Shangguan Jingyu smiled, squatted down and hugged the villain who rushed into his arms, "Why is the emperor panicking, is something wrong?" ”

It was Xiao Donghao who came, he was similar in age to Fu Niangui, and he was older than Zhu'er.

Xiao Donghao's eyes were red, "Queen Mother, just now Erchen saw a little eunuch and a little palace maid fighting, and Erchen reprimanded him, but--they didn't listen to Erchen, and said that Erchen's throne would be returned to Brother Zhu sooner or later." ”

Shangguan Jingyu raised his eyebrows, and instantly said coldly, "Who said this?" ”

The eunuchs below instantly threw themselves to their knees.

"Bully the young emperor, you are so bold!" Shangguan Jingyu got up and took Xiao Donghao's immature little hand, "Your Majesty, you go and find out, who said this, the mourning family is in charge of you." ”

Xiao Donghao nodded, led Shangguan Jingyu to the Imperial Garden, and found the palace maid and eunuch. When the two saw that it was the Queen Mother, they were immediately frightened and their legs and feet weakened, and they kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Su Yan said, "This is just entering the palace, so I guess I don't know the rules." ”

"Yue'er, you go back first!" There are some scenes that are not suitable for pregnant women.

Xiao Yue naturally understands that the emperor is young, if he doesn't establish his prestige from an early age, he is afraid that no one will take the emperor in his eyes when he grows up. Since Shangguan Jingyu has supported Xiao Donghao and taught him the way to be a king since he was a child, he naturally will not change his mind.

After waiting for Xiao Yue to leave, Shangguan Jingyu leaned over and asked Xiao Donghao, "What does the emperor think should be done?" ”

Xiao Donghao thought for a while, "The right minister said that the family has a family law, and the state has a national law. Erchen felt that it should be dealt with according to the law. ”

Shangguan Jingyu nodded, "According to the law of Dashuo, these two people are guilty of disobedience and deserve to be killed with a rod." ”

"Queen Mother, what is the cane?" Xiao Donghao asked.

"It's to beat people to death." Shangguan Jingyu's eyes were cold, "Your Majesty, are you afraid?" ”

Xiao Donghao shook his head, "Don't be afraid!" Erchen heard from the right minister that Erchen was kidnapped by gangsters and almost fell off the city gate and died. It was the father and the queen mother who kept the son, so now, the son is not afraid of death. The right minister said that there can be no country, and we should uphold justice, not selfishness, selfishness, and selfishness, so as to be selfless. ”

"If you should be punished, you will be punished." Shangguan Jingyu added, "The emperor has grown up." ”

Xiao Donghao saluted, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

After speaking, Shangguan Jingyu turned his head and glanced at the people around him, "Did you hear everything?" As soon as the emperor's golden mouth is opened, it is as if the holy decree has been issued, let's execute! ”

When the sound fell, the eunuchs and palace maids below began to wail hysterically and beg for mercy.

Shangguan Jingyu took Xiao Donghao's hand, brushed his sleeves and left, and instructed in a low and soft manner, "In the future, whoever dares to be disrespectful to the emperor should be punished according to the law, and there is no need to ask the mourning family." In the end, the mourning family is the queen mother, and the emperor is the master of a country, understand? ”

Xiao Donghao bowed his head, "Erchen remember." ”

As if remembering something, Shangguan Jingyu took a deep breath, "The mourning family has actually been thinking about it for a long time, and it is indeed inconvenient for Zhu'er to stay by the mourning family. The eleventh prince Xiao Zan is loyal to the court, but unfortunately he has no children under his knees. The mourning family thought that it would be great if Zhu'er could pass on to the eleventh prince and be a grandson. Your Majesty, you can also avoid those gossip. ”

"The Queen Mother?" Xiao Donghao knelt on his knees, "Erchen doesn't mean that, Erchen and Brother Bottle get along very well, the queen mother doesn't have to worry, Erchen doesn't-"

Shangguan Jingyu picked him up and gently brushed the dust off his knees for him, "The queen mother knows." It's just that the queen mother feels that it is rare to have peace in the world, and there should be no more disputes. Hao'er, the queen mother will grow old sooner or later, this country is yours, you have to learn to guard the country by yourself. You have to keep the teachings of the Right Side in mind, but sometimes you have to learn to be flexible. ”

Xiao Donghao nodded, "Erchen understands. ”

"It's not easy to be an emperor, it's even more difficult to be a good emperor." Shangguan Jingyu took his hand and walked in the long corridor, "The world is for the public, which is the real emperor's way." Tomorrow, let's make a holy decree, let Zhu'er go to the Eleventh Palace, and no longer have to stay in the palace. ”

It is the world for the public, not the world of one person.

Presumably, if Xiao Dongli knew, he would be very happy.

When Zhu'er left, Shangguan Jingyu just watched from a distance and did not send him off. Su Yan sighed lightly, "That's fine, Zhu'er doesn't have to be bound by rules and regulations in the future, and she can be herself happily." ”

Shangguan Jingyu nodded, "If you are born in a side line, you will not be able to inherit the orthodox position of the royal family, and no one will make up your mind about him in the future." ”

"Queen Mother, the carriage is ready, will you leave now?" Su Yan asked.

"Su Yan, I miss him, I think about it so much." Shangguan Jingyu's eyes were red, and there was a smile on his lips. The moment I got into the car, tears welled up from my eyes.

He wouldn't know how she got through it step by step.

For four years, four whole years, she was thinking about everything that happened back then. She even regretted why she didn't go with him in the first place. can see Zhu'er, see Xiao Donghao, see Xiao Dongli left behind, and think about everything he worked hard to arrange for her.

How could she be so ruthless?

Over the years, as long as she felt uncomfortable, she ran to the palace outside the imperial mausoleum and quietly accompanied him. Looking at the inscription with his name engraved on it, she could only swallow tears in her stomach.

When I arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum, it was already dusk.

In the evening sun, Shangguan Jingyu stood there, wiping away tears and retreating.

The emperors of all dynasties built imperial tombs for the first time once they ascended the throne. Therefore, the imperial tombs of those kings are always magnificent, and Xiao Dong's death was sudden, so he did not supervise the construction of the imperial tombs, and it was only repaired little by little in the past two years.

Shangguan Jingyu didn't speak, just sat in front of the tombstone, leaning on the tombstone and talking, "Master, after four years, are you still waiting for me?" This queen mother, I am not happy at all, I would rather we still be in Fangjia Village, even if you are a fool, I will guard you like this, and I will be happier than the current magnificence. ”

"Zhiyuan and Yue'er are finally together, or I personally gave the marriage, and now Yue'er is about to give birth. Next year, I will probably be able to call you uncle. Yue'er said that she was a twin, and there was a successor to the Shangguan family. ”

Hairun is still a single, he said that in his life, he never thought about marrying. Over the years, he and Zhiyuan have also helped me deal with government affairs. ”

"Fenglihua has taken control of Beizhao, and now has business dealings with my dynasty. It's so boring to fight, it's better to do business well and let each other prosper, right? You still taught me this method. ”

"I forgot to tell you that I gave the bottle to the eleventh prince, and the prince is old. When you went back then, the prince turned white overnight. Now, with a granddaughter with me, I would be happy. ”

"Master, everyone has a happy ending, why don't I? I lost my husband, I gave away my children, and now everything is empty. Master, come and take me away! I really, miss you so much. At night, thinking about it, it seems that a knife is cutting hard in the heart. ”

"I dream every night, the night you left, the fire. I can't get out of the fire you gave me, what should I do? ”

There was a slight sound of footsteps coming from outside the imperial mausoleum, one step at a time, as if it was going up.

She was stunned, but she heard a voice that made her heart tremble, "Then come with me!" ”

The next day, the Empress Dowager Shangguan Jingyu disappeared.
