"The mourning family is also the queen, and she is also old, she actually beat the mourning family, and she actually beat the mourning family." Empress Dowager Liu covered her face and returned to the palace hatefully, when she complained like Shen Yi, her eyes were rippling with sad water, as if she was still a twenty-eight girl who was lying in the arms of the emperor and crying.

"Mother, don't say any more." Shen Yi raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Mother is fine." Empress Dowager Shao blinked, "Fortunately, you are still the emperor now, and the mourning family is still the queen mother, and you still have the opportunity to be buried next to the emperor, unlike Shen Li's biological mother, who was buried alone in the concubine's mausoleum." ”

She smiled and burst into tears.

Shen Yi looked at her with some distress, his voice was very soft, and his tone was very gentle: "Mother, you are old, you will not care about those things outside in the future, just do it." ”

"Hmm." Empress Dowager Liu looked at him deeply, with relief in her eyes.

"I will never let you be wronged again."

Empress Dowager Shao nodded, a satisfied smile on her lips, and the smile after crying still had some afterglow of captivating the country and the city.

Shen Yi saw that she was well, and he felt a lot more relieved.

That night, Shao Shifang heard that the Empress Dowager Shao had slapped her mother-in-law, and immediately went to Shen Yi to take off the hairpin and ask for guilt.

"The queen is not in the palace to raise the fetus with peace of mind, why did she come here?" Shen Yi raised his head and glanced lightly.

"The matter of holding the queen into the palace hostage, the concubines are also guilty." Shao Shifang said sincerely: "As a daughter-in-law, the concubine cannot serve her mother-in-law, which causes her mother-in-law to be humiliated and feels deeply guilty. ”

Shen Yi listened quietly and did not speak.

"The concubine is the queen, but she can't control the relatives, her father committed the crime of rebellion, and the concubine ......" she bowed her head and said: "The concubine has made many mistakes, please abolish the concubine's queen's throne." ”

Shen Yi understood that she couldn't be abolished at all now, and what she said was the same as saying it in vain, but she just didn't pay attention to it, and said lightly: "The matter has passed, and the queen doesn't have to blame herself anymore." ”

"The concubine is willing to give up the throne to Sister Chu."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Yi looked at her deeply.

"Sister Chu came back from the Jin Kingdom thousands of miles away, and she was clearly thinking about Your Majesty, but she was reluctant to enter the palace, I am afraid that the existence of concubines is also a reason." Shao Shifang's expression was slightly condensed, and his tone became more serious, "The concubine said as early as when she was still the princess that she was willing to take Sister Chu into the palace, and the concubine married to the emperor, as well as the little prince, she was already satisfied, as long as she saw the emperor happy, everything would be fine." ”

Shen Yi waited quietly for her to finish, and smiled softly: "The queen has a heart, but Ruojun has not been in good health since she came back from the Jin Kingdom, and it is not too late to enter the palace when she has recovered her body, besides, with Ruojun's character, she can command the three armies, but she is not suitable to command the six palaces, does the queen understand?" ”

Hearing this refusal, Shao Shifang pursed her lips and laughed softly: "But the Queen Mother insulted the emperor's biological mother, what she did was really excessive, and she should be punished." ”

Shen Yi raised his eyebrows: "Does the queen have an idea?" ”

"The palace can let people take a walk, saying that plotting to assassinate the emperor and hijacking the queen into the palace are all done by the Empress Dowager Shao."

"Would the queen do such a thing?" Shen Yi didn't have any expression on his face, just a little surprise in his eyes.

Shao Shifang was a little flustered, and immediately said respectfully: "Although the queen mother is the aunt of the concubine, the emperor is the husband of the concubine, and the closest person to the concubine, and the husband and wife are one, so no matter who is against the emperor, the concubine will not let him go." ”

Shen Yi's complexion softened slightly, as if he was thinking, and he seemed to have other feelings.

"I know what you mean for me." Shen Yi took her hand, and her eyebrows and eyes were very gentle: "My little prince, how are you doing lately?" ”

Shao Shifang looked at his gentle appearance and was a little in a trance.

Only then will there be some tenderness on his face.

She pursed her lips and smiled: "The people from the Tai Hospital come to ask for peace every day, and he said that the little prince is very good." ”

"That's good." He responded in a low voice, with a gentle expression.

This is her rare tenderness, but it is staged in another woman's moment.

......

After dinner, Chu Ruojun returned to the room and picked up the glass flower and looked at it in front of the candle.

She was so focused on what to think in her head that no one noticed when she came in.

"Ruojun." General Chu sat beside her.

She let out an "ah", quickly put down the things in her hand, turned around and said, "Dad." ”

General Chu's gaze fell on the flower on the other side: "This is given to you by the emperor?" ”

She was stunned and wanted to say no, but she couldn't shake her head.

"It's no wonder that when the emperor was still a prince, he liked to collect rare treasures, calligraphy and paintings."

"Hmm."

"Recently, the emperor has been placed under house arrest." General Chu said helplessly, "I don't know what rumors we have heard, if we want to enter the palace to visit the emperor, we must be approved by the emperor. ”

Chu Ruojun was a little surprised: "Really? ”

"Hmm." General Chu replied in a low voice.

"How so?" Chu Ruojun didn't understand, the emperor had already given way, wasn't it enough?

"Ruojun." General Chu suddenly had some difficulty speaking, "You and the Emperor Taishang have supported each other all the way back from the Jin Kingdom, Dad knows that it is not easy for you, but the emperor doesn't know who is bewitching him now, you go and persuade the emperor, your words, the emperor can still listen to a little bit." ”

Chu Ruojun was taken aback: "Me? ”

That day, Shen Yi pretended to be sick and tricked himself into visiting him, but he didn't wait for his answer.

The answer, as if..... They had also agreed to such a time, and promised to tell him the answer during the Lantern Festival, but he did not go.

The next day, General Chu was urgently transferred, and he almost lost his life when he fell into the water.

But she was lucky, not only was she rescued, but she also saw the stunning beauty of Jiangnan, and came back after learning more martial arts, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

However, it seems that every time the person who leaves, it is himself.

Chu Ruojun thought with some annoyance.

"It's you." General Chu nodded lightly: "I am also thinking about the Queen Mother." ”

"This ......" Chu Ruojun was a little entangled, "I ......"

"What should be faced is always to be faced, and escape is never the way." General Chu affirmed: "No matter what decision you make, follow your own heart, even if you choose the wrong one, don't regret it in the future." ”

Chu Ruojun nodded thoughtfully.

"Then think about it." General Chu said and stood up, "Ruojun, you can rest." ”

"Oh, good." Chu Ruojun nodded with a sneer.

After General Chu left, she bit her lip, rummaged through the cabinets and found a delicate wooden box, and put the glass flower in it.

Taking advantage of the night, she quietly went to the back garden, dug a hole with branches under the largest pear tree, and put the wooden box inside.

That's it, although I don't want to throw you away, but I don't want to see you all the time.

It's better to bury it deep in the soil, not to touch it, not to think about it, and one day it will be forgotten.

The answer has already been determined.

She bit her lip as if she had a preoccupation with her heart, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Following.

When Chu Ruojun was still on the way, Shao Shifang had already gone to the Empress Dowager Shao to say goodbye.

Empress Dowager Shao leaned lazily on the phoenix chair, supporting her forehead with one hand, and her face looked very tired.

Shao Shifang stood quietly aside, feeling the tranquility of the dormitory.

"Why does the queen have time to come to see the mourning family today?" Empress Dowager Shao didn't open her eyes, still hanging down.

"The concubine has been raising a baby in the palace, but the imperial doctor said that she should also move around more, so it won't come to my aunt." Shao Shifang picked up a piece of tea cake on the table, and sighed first without eating.

"What's wrong?"

"The emperor wants to take the Chu family to the palace, and the concubines really don't know what to do, so they can only come to their aunt to complain."

The Queen Mother glanced at her helplessly and distressedly, and listened to Shao Shifang continue: "The Chu family and the Emperor Taishang came back together, as soon as she came back, the emperor gave all the supplements that were originally going to be given to the palace to the Chu family, and even the unborn child in the belly of the concubine was not as important as the Chu family. ”

As she spoke, her voice was dyed with a hint of crying, "How will the concubine live in the future." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her for a moment and said softly: "As a woman in the harem, there are some grievances, so you have to bear it." ”

Shao Shifang looked up at her with a sad gaze.

"Since ancient times, which emperor has not had three palaces and six courts, even the mourning family had to endure the emperor's sole favor of Concubine Liu Xian." The Queen Mother paused, and Shao Shifang's face showed an unacceptable expression.

"After all, you have also given her a lot of colors, this will, just let her be beautiful, and it can also show your generosity." The Queen Mother took her hand, "Besides, you and I both know the temperament of the Chu family, and there must be mistakes in the palace, the emperor protects her once, twice, and if there are more, she will be annoyed, and she will fall out of favor." ”

Shao Shifang put down the tea cake and shook her head gently, "I can bear others, but she is different from other women, I can't bear it." ”

"What's different." The queen mother comforted her: "You are the queen, she is the concubine, in front of you, she will always keep her head down, you remember, the more at this time, the more you should not provoke the Chu family, in case you offend the emperor's rebellion, it is still you who are hurt, as long as you don't care about her, there is a mourning family, you can do it forever." ”

"However, the concubine wants more than just the title of queen, the concubine also wants His Majesty's heart."

The two of them suddenly quieted down, the Queen Mother didn't know what to say about her, and sighed long, "The Chu family can come back alive, we can't underestimate her, the mourning family heard that the emperor and the prisoners of war can come back safely, and thanks to her knowing a group of Jianghu forces, she is a person like her, if you force her to be anxious, she may be able to do something, listen to the mourning family, you be your queen well, give birth to a little prince, don't care about the Chu family." ”

The Queen Mother's words were very stable, but they made Shao Shifang's face, which had no eyes in the first place, even more bleak.
