Being stared at with a smile by a person who has been gone for so long, Empress Dowager Liu felt her heart screwed together. She closed the scroll.

"How did you draw it?" The Queen Mother asked slowly.

"It was Dr. Zhang Daoyi who helped his grandson recall the past, and I remembered my mother's appearance again. It turns out that I was born so much like her. Zhang Daoyi said that she would change from male to female, first drew a woman in my image, and then asked me to see where it looked like and where it didn't look, and changed the places that didn't look like one by one. This is the picture that was painted. ”

"She ......, how did she help you remember the past?" Since Concubine Ji Shu went, the Queen Mother brought Chen Youcong over to raise her. At the beginning, Chen Youcong missed his mother, restless day and night, and then had a serious illness, and after he recovered, he didn't seem to remember anything before, and rarely mentioned his mother again. The Queen Mother remembers these things very clearly.

Zhang Daoyi said that if people encounter sad things, they usually remember them more clearly than happy things. But what is too painful will be forgotten. This is man's protection of himself, otherwise he will not be able to live. This is especially true for children. But those forgotten things have not disappeared completely, but have been pressed under the heart chakra. Although the brain has forgotten, the heart still retains its imprint. She tried to help me connect the eyebrow chakra with the heart chakra. Many images of grandchildren who had been meditating hard and couldn't remember before began to pour here. Chen Youcong said, pointing to his forehead.

The eyebrow chakra rules wisdom and reason. The heart chakra governs emotions and feelings.

The Queen Mother nodded slowly after hearing this: "She still has this ability." ”

"Please also ask the imperial grandmother not to blame me for advocating without permission."

"It's human nature to miss your mother. How could I blame you? It's you, grandson, do you blame your grandmother? ”

Chen Youcong was taken aback: "How can the grandson blame the emperor's grandmother?" ”

"Do you blame the Imperial Grandmother for not protecting your mother? Makes you a motherless child? ”

"Grandmother!" Chen Youcong knelt down and bowed his head: "If it weren't for the loving protection of my grandmother, where would my grandson be able to live to this day?" My life was not only given by my mother, but also by my grandmother. There are many things, although I don't say it on my lips, but I understand it in my heart! ”

"Then you understand how your mother died?"

"Yes!" Chen Youcong's hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists, and his joints turned white.

"It was the abandoned queen Cui who lived in the deserted mansion in Qianxi who led you there and told you, right?"

"Yes!" Chen's answer was still very brief.

"In the past few months, you had trouble sleeping and eating, suffering from pain, and self-harm, also because you knew the cause of your biological mother's death, right?"

"Yes!" At this point, Chen Youcong's eyes were already full of tears, and he couldn't bear to fall down.

"Then why didn't you come and tell Grandmother?" Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Liu's voice was also full of grief.

"I'm afraid my grandmother will be worried and embarrassed." Chen Youcong's voice was hoarse.

"Am I not worried about the way you look? Do you know how worried your grandmother is when she watches you lose weight day by day, she is in a trance, and she has to hold on to lecture with those university scholars every day, take on those heavy schoolwork, and go to the palace to answer, how worried your grandmother is? Do you know how many times grandmothers have secretly shed tears? ”

"Grandmother! It's the grandson who is wrong! Grandchildren shouldn't hide their grandmother! Chen Youcong walked forward on his knees and held the knees of Empress Dowager Liu with both hands.

Empress Dowager Liu wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, helped Chen Youcong up, and let him sit next to her.

"Grandmother knows you're tough. So when you don't want to talk about it, Grandmother didn't press you. But if there is anything in the future, I have to discuss it with my grandmother. With your grandmother here, she can always protect you. ”

"I understand my grandmother's heart. But now the grandchildren have grown up. From now on, it's time for me to protect my grandmother. Chen Youcong held his grandmother's old hands with his hand.

"Good boy! Good boy! Empress Dowager Liu had mixed feelings in her heart.

Although the sentence "I protect you" is simple, Empress Dowager Liu has never heard anyone say it to her before. Although she gave birth to children for the first emperor, the first emperor treated her like a child. Her son Chen Jianjun became the emperor, but he doted on Jin Ling'er wholeheartedly, and respected but alienated his mother. Only this grandson is very close to his grandmother.

This grandson, when he first took over and raised him, was still a doughy child, and in a blink of an eye, he grew into an assertive and responsible young man.

Some time ago, he suddenly heard about the cause of his mother's death, and became bipolar and incomprehensible, although he still maintained a gentle and virtuous shell on the surface, but the Queen Mother knew that his heart did not know how many petals he had broken, and he was afraid that he would have to use all his strength to barely maintain his demeanor.

The Queen Mother was once worried that this incident would ruin the crown prince.

However, now Chen Youcong has improved significantly. Not only does the mood become stable, but the mind also becomes more transparent and clear. If the Queen Mother wants to say where these changes are embodied, she can't say clearly. I just feel that talking to Chen Youcong is smoother, and Chen Youcong will soon be able to understand her intentions, and at the same time, Chen Youcong is more willing to express his own thoughts to his grandmother.

Chen Youcong's heart knot has not been completely untied. But he began to have the strength to bear the pain of this knot and to think about the impact of his life on him.

The impact of Concubine Ji Shufei's death is far from over. Even if Chen Youcong doesn't pursue it, others won't stop there. If Chen Youcong is not strong enough, he will not be able to withstand the bloody storm that may follow.

What's more, looking at Chen Youcong's appearance, he will definitely not put aside the murder of his mother in order to maintain his position as the crown prince, although he does not have the strength to avenge his mother now.

Empress Dowager Liu did not want to persuade Chen Youcong to give up hatred. Joke, she herself still saw Jin Ling'er and the root of her teeth itched, if it weren't for her separation, how could the emperor be separated from his mother? If it weren't for her viciousness and tyranny, how could there be so many children in the palace who died young?

She only hopes that when Chen Youcong is fledgling, she will not be crushed by this incident, and she will not be unable to hold her breath, anger Chen Jianjun, and affect the storage position.

This is the child she raised single-handedly. She didn't expect to see him inherit the throne, because that would mean that her son Chen Jianjun would die before her. Although most of the emperors of the Great Yan Dynasty had a short life since the founding of the country, and only a few lived to be more than forty, Empress Dowager Liu still wanted her son to live a long life.

She only hopes that in her lifetime, she can watch Chen Youcong be safe and smooth, marry a satisfactory princess in the future, give birth to a few lovely children, be healthy until she is old, and don't die in the prime of life like his ancestors.

Jin Ling'er wants her cousin's daughter Ye Tongying to be the crown princess, which is really a good calculation. Empress Dowager Liu is naturally a hundred unwilling. She will help the prince choose the person she likes, but she doesn't want Chen Youcong and Chen Jianjun to be on trouble because of this incident. As soon as Chen Jianjun touched Jin Ling'er's matter, he was extremely stubborn, as if he had lost his mind. If Chen Youcong is directly involved with Chen Jianjun in this matter. I'm afraid it's the grandson who suffers.

According to Empress Dowager Liu's idea, if it doesn't work, after the prince's wedding, Ye Tongying can be allowed to enter the palace as a waiter. In this way, Jin Guifei can be stabilized first, so that she will not turn against the prince immediately. As for how to treat Ye Tongying after entering the palace, that's another matter.

However, this matter has to be discussed with Chen Youcong slowly.

She knew that it was too difficult for a teenager to bear such great pain and hatred, pretending to be casual and dealing with his mother's killer.

In fact, Chen Youcong has done a good job. He did not vent his hatred regardless of it, did not startle the snake, but first resolved his emotions, did not move, and then made a long-term plan.

Of course, he was able to do this, and Zhang Weizhao's help was inseparable.

Healer, this title is not in vain.

"Now that you've remembered some of the past, Grandmother won't hide it from you anymore." Empress Dowager Liu took Chen Youcong's hand and patted it.

Chen Youcong waited with bated breath for her grandmother to continue.

"Your father was married for many years, but he still has no heirs. It is said that there are no heirs, but it is not that there are no concubines to give birth. The first one to give birth was the golden bell, and after her son was born, your father intended to make this child the crown prince. But the boy did not stand still, and died before he could be canonized. ”

Jin Ling'er suspected that someone was murdering her child, and she was crazy and noisy. Your father didn't dare to restrain her, so he only coaxed patiently. Slowly she stopped making noise, but secretly sent people to monitor other concubines, and once someone was pregnant, she would openly and secretly want to give people fetal medicine. Some people tried every possible way to preserve the fetus, but after giving birth, they also died inexplicably. On the one hand, she gave people fetal pills, and on the other hand, she tried her best to make supplements, hoping to have another prince come out, but for several years, there was no movement. ”

"My grandmother only learned about these things later. This is also the dereliction of duty of your grandmother, in the years when your imperial grandfather just died, your grandmother felt uncomfortable, disheartened, and ignored everything, which led to such a result. It wasn't until I saw the children die one by one that I realized Jin Ling'er's poisonous scorpion heart. ”

"Your father has been married for many years and has no heirs, so he has some regrets, and he no longer depends on Jin Ling'er for everything. At this moment, someone suddenly came to report that a palace maid gave birth to a prince in Anle Hall, and she had secretly raised her until she was almost six years old, and that child was you! ”

"As soon as my grandmother saw you, she knew you were my grandson! Grandmother's heart followed your grandfather's death, and now it seems to have come to life again. Grandmother is determined to protect you and watch you grow up. So I urged your father, the emperor, to announce to the world, to make you the crown prince, and your mother to be the concubine, and place them in the Changyang Palace under my nose. ”

"At that time, the people around you were all placed by your grandmother, who took you to Changle Palace to play during the day, and only went back to Changyang Palace to rest with your mother at night. Except for the food given to you by your grandmother, you are not allowed to eat anything else. is afraid that Jin Ling'er will have trouble again. ”
