The night is cold, the palace is heavy, and there is silence. The frost and moon outside the Mirror Flower Palace are bright, the mandarin duck tiles are cold, the incense in the Shenbi Hall is dim, and the copper kettle is dripping. In the distance, there seems to be a black magpie frightened hoarse cry, startling thousands of pieces, and in the twilight of the year, there are no cold plum flowers for it to fight.

Looking at the corner of the purple gauze double brocade skirt, I was thinking about the parrot and crane pattern on it, but the lazy and delicate female voice suddenly pierced the eardrum. I was startled, and I came back to my senses, and my gaze swept up over the rainbow and the delicate and feminine skirt, stopping at the bright red Kou Dan's slender jade fingers.

"Isn't this lotus seed aloe vera soup not to Lingjieyu's appetite?" Rui powder dyed, natural appearance, Wang Guifei leaned on the beauty's lean, picking her nails carelessly, but the words were sincere: "Poor Bengong specially ordered the small kitchen to cook carefully for Lingjieyu." ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Straighten out the lilac-colored Wenluo compound skirt, the mother knelt down, and took the bowl of soup without hesitation: "The concubine is kind, and the concubine is frightened and grateful." Thank you for your kindness. ”

"It's good if Lingjieyu likes it. From today onwards, the palace will send someone to Lingjieyu every day. If Lingjieyu is good, just talk to the minions, and let the emperor try it. ”

The words were pleased, and at the end of the sentence, Wang Guifei turned to look at me with a smile. I was busy with etiquette and bowed my head in thanks, and I caught a glimpse of my mother having put the empty bowl away, respectfully, and drooping her head and moth eyebrows.

When Wang Guifei and the others finally came out of Shenbi Hall, my maid Qu and I hurriedly helped my mother up.

Doubts gradually arose in my heart, and when I saw that there was a melancholy on my face at the end of the song, I hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking: "Mother, why did Wang Guifei suddenly give him lotus seed aloe vera soup for no reason?" According to her identity, she shouldn't be as inflammatory. ”

The mother smiled bitterly and shook her head, and when she finally saw this, she withdrew the rest of the people and explained quietly: "The emperor doesn't know anything. Now that Jieyu's holy family is thick, the possibility of pregnancy is great, but the aloe vera is not allowed to eat much at this time. Now the concubine seems to care about Jieyu, but in fact, it is to prevent Jieyu from getting another dragon heir. ”

"It's really a good means to hide needles in such a sponge." Wang Gushan's move was open-fired, but she relied on her illustrious family background, and her father was quite fond of her. It's just that the mother is now in harmony with her father, Qin Se, and it is still undecidable which is right and which is wrong.

"It is not only harmful to the mother's body, but also related to the dragon heir, so the matter is big, so I still tell my father and ask him to make a decision......"

"Yue'er." My mother called me in a panic, motioned Qu Zhong to step back, leaned over and grabbed my hand, her hands were cold: "Just say these words in front of my mother and Qu Zhong, don't teach the fourth person to know." It is already the emperor's special grace that the mother has to be promoted to Jieyu, and she must not make extraneous branches and cause fire again. In this life, everything is enough for the mother and the mother, as long as you can live safely, you can endure it. ”

My mother caressed my sideburns, her eyes were soft and mournful, and the last sentence was more pleading than consoling. I couldn't bear to argue, nodded in response, but my heart was not resentful because of my mother's grievances.

For five consecutive days, my father stayed in the Jinghua Palace. But my mother always sighed after my father came and left, and even hugged me to tears once. Wang Gushan's lotus seed and aloe vera soup has not stopped, and Yaomei, the palace maid of the Xianglu Palace who sent the soup, has to see her mother and drink the soup every time before she is willing to leave with confidence. The mother gradually lost her appetite and suffered from unbearable abdominal pain.

I knew that this matter would not be simple, and every time I wanted to tell my father about it, I was stopped or diverted by my mother's eyes. But after all, this is not the way, so I secretly brewed the wording, and when the opportunity was right, I returned to my father and the emperor at that time, and explained the cause and effect.

Everything is ready, and the wording is good, but the companion is like a tiger, and the opportunity for me to talk alone with my father is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so this matter has to be put on hold.

Ten days later, it snowed heavily. The location of the Mirror Flower Palace is remote, and it is a snow cellar with ice and silver frost everywhere. The father and the emperor came in the future because of the affairs of the dynasty, but the lotus seed aloe vera soup was as affectionate and righteous as rain or shine.

When the soup was brought into the Shenbi Hall, I was getting the queen's decree and had to go to Yongning Palace. When I went out, I bumped into Yaomei, and she saluted me uprightly, with an unknown meaning, and smiled respectfully. I glanced at the lotus seed and aloe vera soup, and my heart was even more restless, but I didn't have time to think about it, so I left the Mirror Flower Palace without her courtesy.

I should say goodbye to my mother.

That was the last time I saw my mother.

When I returned to the Jinghua Palace, I had been raised by the queen and was named Emperor Lianghong. In order to express his grief, my father changed my title from the original "Water Moon" to "Lingyue". Therefore, the identity of "grandson", I can't even wear filial piety clothes for my mother, or the queen's grace, so I was able to wear a frost-white tulip skirt, with a white jade tassel palace silk around the waist, but the sideburns only had to be shaken by a four-butterfly silver step, so as to fulfill filial piety.

My father pointed to the end of the song as my personal palace maid. It wasn't until I calmed down a little that she dared to tell me the truth. The lotus seeds in the lotus seed and aloe vera soup have been replaced with ginkgo seeds since the third time, and there are even a few times when they are not even cooked, so the toxicity is even worse.

It turned out that the soup was not to make the mother infertile, but it was really to take the mother's life. I finally understood why Yaomei had to see my mother eat those "lotus seeds" in person, and why I sometimes tried to taste them but was always stopped by her in a hurry. Only 20 days before and after, the mother was promoted from Baolin to Jieyu, and was buried according to Zhaoyuan's position. And in these 20 days, I have changed from a nameless and shareless Emperor Ji to Lianghong Emperor Lingyue. Evil thoughts and paranoia grow up, but it doesn't happen overnight.

Now thinking back to my mother's gestures and demeanor these days, it is obvious that she had expected such an outcome, and knew everything, but she was only suffering from having to take care of me, so she couldn't bear it. Wang Gushan was jealous of her mother's favor, and relied on her father Wang Ren as the secretary of the military department and the favored minister of the first emperor, and the Wang family was extremely powerful in Lianghong, so she poisoned her mother in such a way. My father could not cure him, so he had to make amends to me. The queen has nothing to do, she regards me as her own, and she also knows the hatred in my heart, and wants to take revenge with the identity of the emperor. She understood that this matter was in my heart, and she categorically couldn't persuade it, so she didn't persuade it at all.

"It's just that you should know that even if you live in Yongning Palace now, if Concubine Wang Guifei intends to act, it will be easy." The queen took my hand, her palm was warm, which was completely different from her mother's tenderness: "This palace only gives you one word." People live for a lifetime, they don't have to be clean and lonely, they don't have to be out of the dust, but they must be proud of the snow and frost, remember the original intention, and have a clear mind, and have a beginning and an end. ”

For many years, I have always remembered the words "Aoxue Lingshuang", and I have always been vigilant to my original intention and look for my true nature. It's just a story for later. At that time, I did not expect the turbulent life that followed, let alone know that only ten days after this statement, my fate would be reversed again.

My identity was changed to - hostage.
