The emperor is wise, and sooner or later he will find out his true identity, so he will not be able to leave. I am afraid that things will change, and it is urgent to leave the capital. Zhan Long quickly rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked the old butler to pack up and leave with him. Hearing this, the old housekeeper was both surprised and delighted, and after a little tidying up, he tearfully resigned to the prime minister. Zhan Long drove the old butler to the inn outside the city to settle down, and then secretly returned to the city, only to wait for night, and secretly entered the palace to meet the queen mother.

It was night, the stars and moon were dim, the clouds were stagnant and windless, and the sky was slowly falling with fine snow. A black figure silently jumped into the palace wall, and then galloped towards the Queen Mother's bedroom at a very fast speed. The man's light skills are extremely good, and he walks through the dark shadows, which is difficult for even the first-class good hands in the dark guards to detect, but unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be good at hiding his whereabouts, because he can't converge his internal force at the same time when performing light skills, the strong internal force causes the snowflakes within one foot of him to turn into thin white smoke, wrapping around his side, which is particularly conspicuous in the dark, attracting the attention of the dark guards along the way. Due to the emperor's order, the secret guard did not dare to step forward to stop him, but only sent a few people to follow him from a distance in order to find out his intentions. The war dragon immediately found that someone was following, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart: I can't do it! With an idea, he jumped onto the cornice, looked at the dark guard who was struggling to chase with a deep gaze, and raised a light smile on his lips. He deliberately slowed down his pace and walked aimlessly on the glazed tiles of the palaces, causing uneasiness to the secret guards lurking in various parts of the palace. Although the guards never appeared, the war dragons had already seen their hiding place clearly with only a moment of restlessness. After thinking about it in his heart, he suddenly raised his breath and rushed outside the palace, and after a while, he left the trailing secret guard miles away. After being injured for several months, and now being able to run unrestrained and wantonly, the war dragon has an indescribable pleasure in his heart. Taking advantage of the fact that the secret guards were unknown and at a loss, the war dragon skillfully avoided their ears and eyes, and came to the Empress Dowager's palace at a gallop.

There was no palm lamp in the palace, and there was a dead silence in Hesse. The war dragon landed gently, took out the candle from his sleeve, lit it with a fire fold, and looked for the queen mother's bedroom by the faint candlelight. Enter from the palace gate and walk along the wide and smooth blue-brick road for dozens of steps to reach the front hall...... He didn't know anything about the rest. The war dragon sighed helplessly and stepped into it. I saw that the hall was in a mess, the cups and jade pots were broken to the ground, the tables, chairs, and cabinets were crooked, the soft cushions were dusty for several inches, and the incense burner had been idle for a long time, which was not at all as glorious and luxurious as the war dragon remembered. The splendid curtain hanging high was torn down in half and hung in the air and crumbling, adding a bit of bleakness and loneliness to the dilapidated and withered front hall. If he hadn't recognized the peony embroidery on it at a glance, he might have suspected that he was in the wrong place. Looking around, seeing the treasures placed everywhere missing, and then thinking of the 500,000 gold he had offered before, the war dragon couldn't help but smile. It is common for palace people to take advantage of the chaos to flee privately, but as far as he remembers, the hall is full of antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other things that are not easy to carry, and it seems that they were probably confiscated by the emperor. The valuables in the Empress Dowager's palace alone are worth far more than 500,000 gold, not to mention the treasures in Uncle Rongguo's mansion. After this battle, the emperor will definitely gain a lot, and a mere 500,000 gold is enough. Since the emperor has the intention to reunite their mother and son, he gladly accepted the emperor's grace, and he really shouldn't continue to investigate the reason. Through the closed doors and corridors, the war dragon came to a desolate courtyard. There is a narrow stone bridge in the courtyard, under which is a meandering stream of water, and at the end of the bridge is an elegant pavilion, and the courtyard is full of flowers. When the flowers have withered for a long time, if you look closely, you can vaguely recognize that they are the king of flowers, peonies. Such a precious flower, after the Queen Mother lost power, also became worthless, which is really embarrassing. Hearing the slight sound of breathing coming from the house not far away, the war dragon immediately quickened his pace. Seeing that there were two palace maids sitting and sleeping soundly in front of the door, the war dragon entered the house through the window. For fear of frightening the Queen Mother, Zhan Long lit the oil lamp in the bedroom, and tapped twice on the screen to wake her up.

Since learning about the life of the war dragon, the queen mother has been thinking about him all the time in her heart, and she has been sleeping unsteadily, but when she heard that there was someone in the house, she immediately sat up and asked majestically: "Who is it?" ”

Zhan Long hesitated for a moment, and replied indifferently: "Queen Mother, it's me." ”

"You'er...... You'er! The Queen Mother was filled with joy and sorrow when she heard this, rushed to the war dragon barefoot, hugged him tightly, and tears welled up.

Against the backdrop of the firelight, the Queen Mother's face looked pale and thin, and she looked very haggard. Zhan Long's heart tightened, and hurriedly helped her sit down, and went to find a brocade fur for her to put on, and then sat down beside her. As soon as he sat down, the Queen Mother held his hand tightly and did not let him leave half a step, and then she looked at him with tears in her eyes, and the more she looked at it, the more uncomfortable she became, and finally she couldn't help crying. You'er is so handsome, how could she be born from that person, I'm so stupid...... recalled that in the ten years I got along with Zhan Long, I wanted to be good to him, but I was unwilling, I wanted to hate him, but I couldn't, every day was extremely tormenting, and the Queen Mother gritted her teeth with hatred. It is because of her that our mother and son will be tortured! If there is an afterlife, I will give it back double!

"You'er, forgive the queen mother...... Queen mother...... The queen mother didn't know...... Woo woo......" After saying that, her whole body trembled slightly, revealing the fear and despair in her heart. She knew very well that what she had done to him in the past was too ruthless and ruthless, and it was indeed unforgivable.

Hearing this, the war dragon lowered his eyes, put his other hand on the cold hands, and replied softly: "Things have changed, and the queen mother doesn't need to mind." ”

Hearing Zhan Long's words, the Queen Mother felt a sharp pain in her heart, and she cried more and more sadly. She didn't expect the war dragon to forgive herself so easily, just because she never believed that there would be people in this world who would treat her well without asking for anything. Growing up in a wealthy family, she is accustomed to deceitful things, even if she is close to her own flesh and blood, she will inevitably have to do everything possible, especially today, when she knows that her eldest brother has deceived herself for more than 20 years for his own selfish desires, she is even more convinced that the belief she has adhered to for more than 30 years is not wrong. The appearance of the war dragon caused an uproar in her long-dormant heart, and while thanking God for giving her a child with a pure heart, she couldn't help but wonder if what she had done in the past was wrong? She slowly stood up and hugged the war dragon in her arms, and said excitedly: "You'er, in the past, the queen mother was sorry for you, from now on, the queen mother will compensate you well, and the queen mother will be good to you...... Trust me, trust me......"

Zhan Long was stunned, feeling at a loss for this unfamiliar warmth, and before he knew it, his breath began to be messy, and his voice became choked. "I believe it...... Queen Mother, don't cry, take care of your body......"

A word of relief was enough to completely collapse the Queen Mother's heart, and the grievances, grief, and resentment that had been suppressed in her heart for more than 20 years came to her overwhelmingly. At this time, she is no longer the extremely noble and gorgeous queen mother, but just a poor mother. She seemed to be crying dry all the tears of this life, and when she came back to her senses, it was already the middle of the night. Shocked to find that Zhan Long's clothes were wet with his own tears, the Queen Mother's eyes were full of worry, and she hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped him. Seeing this, the war dragon quickly reined in his internal force, and a shallow smile appeared on his face.

After being silent for a long time, the Queen Mother suddenly said, "You'er, the Queen Mother will take back the throne for you." War Dragon looked at her in surprise, his dark eyes revealing incomprehension. When she met the inquiring gaze of the war dragon, the queen mother's heart was shocked, and she didn't know what to do. He thought he would be happy, because this was what her Rong'er had dreamed of, and it was the best she could think of, but he didn't seem satisfied. "You'er, the first emperor intended to make you the crown prince back then, if it wasn't for the eldest brother to get in the way, how could it be the current situation, and now it is reasonable for you to set things right." Seeing that Zhan Long's face sank and he pursed his lips and was silent, the Queen Mother hurriedly defended: "If You'er is unwilling, the Queen Mother will never be reluctant...... If you want anything, just tell the queen mother, no matter what it is, the queen mother will find a way to find it for you. ”

Zhan Long held the cold purple fingertips of the Queen Mother, hesitated for a while, and asked: "Is the Queen Mother willing to leave the capital with me, never ask about political affairs, and live a plain life?" ”

"Since You'er doesn't want to fight, the queen mother listens to you." The Queen Mother took out a box of gold ingots from the dark compartment, stuffed them into the arms of the war dragon, and said with a smile: "You'er might as well go shopping in the city first, buy whatever you like, and when the time is ripe, the queen mother will go out of the palace to meet you." ”

Finding that the Queen Mother looked at her plainly dressed self with a look of pity, Zhan Long knew that he had misunderstood, but he was reluctant to return the gold ingots in his hand, so he didn't explain much. I remember that when he fled, he saw through the curtain of the car that the old butler took such a box of gold ingots to the silver number and exchanged it for 300,000 silver for him, and those silver taels were still sealed by him in the secret cave of Qingfeng Mountain, and he did not use it excessively. For ten years, he had been unable to understand who was helping, after all, it was impossible for a powerless eunuch to have such a rich fortune. Just take it back to the old butler and show it to the old butler, and you will be able to solve the mystery in your heart. If it was really a gift from the Queen Mother, their mother and son would be considered to have a good heart. "Queen Mother, the emperor promised to let you leave the palace, and I will pick you up in two days."

The Queen Mother smiled like a flower after hearing this, and readily agreed. Although she was greatly surprised by the emperor's move, she didn't dare to ask about the ins and outs, because she knew that the war dragon must have paid a lot for it.

After all, Prince Rong still can't rest assured that the Queen Mother, since he met with Zhan Long, he will send his henchmen to the palace every day to inquire about the news. On that day, the henchmen did not appear as expected. After dinner, Prince Rong was about to send someone to look for him, but he saw him injured.

"Can anyone be following?" Lord Rong's entourage asked sharply.

"No, please rest assured, Lord!" Feeling that Prince Rong was staring at him with sharp eyes, his henchman shuddered, and hurriedly said: "The subordinates heard that the Queen Mother was rumored to be in the court, so they risked their lives to sneak into the main hall to investigate, and they didn't want to be discovered by the secret guards, so they chased after him, but fortunately, the two brothers stood up to block it, and the subordinates were able to get out." ”

"Is it for the protection of the country?" Prince Rong put away his gaze and took a leisurely sip of tea.

"The Lord is wise!" The henchman wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and told him in great detail what he had seen and heard today.

In fact, the henchmen only heard a few sentences, and they didn't know what to know when they fell into the ears of others, but they could guess seven or eight points from the wisdom of the prince. Suddenly, Prince Rong's face was pale, his eyes were red, and the cup in his hand was cracked into pieces.

"Lord!" The two of them were shocked and shouted out of their mouths.

Prince Rong froze, looked at the blood that was constantly oozing from his palm, and showed a sad smile. Blood......

"Prepare the horses!" He shook off the hand of the attendant who wanted to bandage him and walked straight out of the house.

A hurried sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the woods, and more than a dozen horses were galloping towards the deep mountains at a speed like the wind, and the first one was frantically waving his horsewhip and whipping his mount, as if enchanted, the neighing of the horses was incessant, which made people creepy, and in the woods that covered the sky and the moon, his dark figure that exuded an incomparably fierce aura was like a ghost, which made people tremble. He shook the door open with his whip, rode straight to the bedroom in the depths of the mansion, and then jumped off his horse, looking coldly at one of the frightened men on the bed through the gauze tent.

"Rong'er, how can you ......" Seeing that it was Prince Rong, Uncle Rongguo breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a trace of displeasure in his tone.

"Get out!" Prince Rong shouted to the other person on the bed.

Uncle Rongguo's concubine didn't dare to offend Prince Rong who was angry, and she didn't even bother to put on her coat and crawled away.

"Rong'er is so reckless, why is it?" Uncle Rong Guo walked over unhurriedly, and when he saw that Prince Rong's right hand was injured and bleeding nonstop, he frowned, and turned around to look for medicine for him.

Looking at Uncle Rongguo's worried back, Prince Rong smiled inexplicably: "This injury came just in time, saving me the effort of cutting my fingers and dripping blood to recognize my relatives, haha......"

Hearing this, Uncle Rong Guo's figure stiffened, and then returned to the same as before. He didn't pay attention to Prince Rong's madness, but just tried to medicine him.

"If you refuse to admit it, don't blame me for being strong." Prince Rong jerked his hand back and said threateningly. Although Uncle Rong Guo was born as a military general, his martial arts are not as good as that of Prince Rong after all. For Prince Rong, it was easy to take a drop of his blood.

"How do you know?" Uncle Rong Guo calmed his face, pulled his hand over, and re-wrapped the loosened white veil, revealing a faint sadness in his cloudy eyes.

"Sure enough...... And so it was! Prince Rong was so angry that his face was flushed, and he reprimanded angrily: "In order to seize the throne, you do not hesitate to disturb the royal bloodline, and in order to make your bloodline become the Ninety-Five, you do not hesitate to harm Ayou!" Uncle, my father treats you well, how can you be so ungrateful and do such a rebellious thing! ”

"Rong'er, this is providence! Back then, the Queen Mother gave birth to a dead baby, if I hadn't replaced her with my own son, how could she be the queen? Since no one knows who you really are, why can't you just be wrong? Seeing that Prince Rong was unmoved, Uncle Rong continued to persuade earnestly: "Rong'er, everything should be based on the overall situation, and you must not be rash. The Rong clan has deep roots, and over time, it will be able to make a comeback. You should not know about this, rest in peace, and your uncle will plan for you. ”

As soon as Uncle Rong Guo's words fell, the horsewhip in the hand of Prince Rong made a sharp sound of breaking the wind, a straight pillar in the room broke in response, and the roof instantly collapsed a large area, and the tiles fell one after another, and it was dusty for a while. "It's ridiculous that I have been deceived for more than 20 years because of my own intellect, but even if I am so incompetent, I will never do anything to usurp the throne. Uncle...... No, Father, I will not stop you if you want to go your own way, but please remember that this matter has nothing to do with me, and even if you give the throne with both hands on the other day, I will not give you a damn of it! After finishing speaking, Prince Rong turned over and rode away.

And thou said, "No!" So what is the purpose of all these years that I have swallowed my anger and tried my best to plan! Uncle Rong Guo endured the anger and grief in his heart, ran to the door, and shouted, "Go and chase it!" Protect Rong'er well! Suddenly, several dark shadows flew out of the wall and chased after the gate.
