The woman wearing the curtain left stretched out a snow-white jade palm, and slowly lifted her curtain away, revealing a mature and beautiful face. - It was actually the Queen Mother who was supposed to be in charge of state affairs in the deep palace!

The monk immediately burst into tears, took a step forward and knelt on the ground, his hands on the ground, trembling, and whispered, "Grandmother Huang...... If you don't filial piety to your grandson, I've caused you trouble......"

It turned out that this monk was the second prince Xia Zhao, who was forced to escape into the empty door because he swore an alliance with Miss Zheng Er, but in the end he was forced to escape into the empty door because he violated the ancestral precept that he could not marry with the four major families.

Since Emperor Xia Ming suddenly fell ill, the state affairs of Great Xia have been listened to by the Empress Dowager for eleven years.

The Queen Mother was also very excited when she saw Xia Zhao. She quickly stepped forward to help Xia Zhao up, and said with tears in her eyes: "You kid, you are really honest, you have been in Jiangnan for five or six years, and you don't want to come back to see the imperial grandmother." ”

Xia Zhao became a monk in Jiangzhou, where his maternal family, the Jiang family, was located in Jiangzhou, which was far away from the capital, and it was normal that he could not come back.

Although Xia Zhao was born by Jiang Guifei, he was raised by the Queen Mother when he was born, and he was the only grandson raised by the Queen Mother, so his feelings are different from other grandsons and granddaughters, and he loves him very much.

If the original incident hadn't been known to the whole world, and even the Queen Mother wouldn't have dared to disobey the ancestral teachings, Xia Zhao would not have ended up shaved and escaped into the empty door.

It was still ten years of the Ming calendar, and now it is the sixteenth year of the Ming calendar, and more than six years have passed.

Xia Zhao is no longer the hairy boy who plunged into the love network at the beginning. During his years in the Jokhang Temple, he was an ancient Buddha with green lights, chanting scriptures every day, not to mention anything else, which was very helpful to his fiery and impatient temperament.

Looking at his calm posture and the indelible emotional wounds in the depths of his eyes, the Queen Mother wiped her tears with emotion and said, "You child, like your father, is an infatuated and infatuated character. Although as an ordinary man, these are rare benefits, but as an emperor, you can't do this. - But it's all changed, right? Zheng Xiangrong has been dead for five or six years, do you really want to live in the temple for the rest of your life? ”

Xia Zhao opened his mouth to say something.

The Queen Mother didn't allow Xia Zhao to speak, and said with ridicule: "Besides, even if you really want to live in the temple for the rest of your life, have you ever thought that others will allow you to live in the temple for a lifetime?" ――There are some things that you think will work by retreating and hiding? You don't fight or grab, and others don't worry, so they have to get rid of you quickly. If you can't even see this, and you can't figure it out, even if the mourning family raises you for nothing, they won't worry about you in the future. ”

Xia Zhao smiled bitterly silently. He knew that the imperial grandmother was telling the truth. If he hadn't been cornered this time, how could he have sent a letter to Aunt Situ, who was next to the emperor's grandmother?

Situ Xiuwen, the proprietress of the Rongsheng Inn, was the big palace maid next to the Queen Mother back then. After reaching the age, he was released from the palace, married a man from an ordinary family, went incognito, opened a small inn, and lived a very leisurely life.

However, although Situ Xiuwen went out of the palace, he still secretly led the Ya Si's position and helped the Queen Mother to be her eyes and ears outside the palace. What exactly she did, even Xia Zhao didn't know. He only knew that if he wanted to contact the Queen Mother outside the palace, he only needed to send a letter to the proprietress of the Rongsheng Inn. Only the closest people around the Queen Mother knew about this matter.

"Think about it again, that person will be the supreme in the world in the future, do you really think that you can reassure that person by escaping into the empty door? - If he really rested, there would be no today's chase and your request for help. The Queen Mother pulled Xia Zhao to sit down on the kang under the south window and carefully looked at his appearance.

In the past five or six years, Xia Zhao has been doing well, but he is a little thin, and a depressed air between his eyebrows cannot be entangled.

Xia Zhao also looked up at the imperial grandmother, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Is the imperial grandmother really a fox?" After all these years, the imperial grandmother is still as beautiful and moving as she was back then, and she has not aged at all! ”

It's really not old at all. The skin on the face is delicate and translucent like an apple, shining with a full luster, the eyebrows are slender, a pair of slender Danfeng eyes, and the charming color between the eye waves is natural and moving.

In Xia Zhao's memory, the imperial grandmother seems to have always been like this, since eleven years ago, when the emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and lay down in bed, the imperial grandmother's appearance seemed to have stagnated.

The Queen Mother chuckled, stroked her cheek, and said with a smile: "This, you have to ask Xiangrong's sister Suxin." It is her unparalleled medical skills that help the mourning family maintain their appearance. Otherwise, the mourning family is no different from those old women outside. ”

"Frangipani's medical skills are truly unparalleled in the world. If Old Man Sheng is still alive, I don't know if he will be stronger than her. Xia Zhao couldn't help but compare Zheng Suxin's medical skills with the old man of the Sheng family.

The Queen Mother sank her face and sneered: "The old man of the Sheng family, he doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin." He caused your father to lie in the hospital bed for eleven years like a 'living dead', and the mourning family only let them be buried with the whole family, which is cheap for them! ”

Xia Zhao sighed, reached out to hold the Queen Mother's hand, and said sincerely: "Imperial Grandmother, what happened back then, Old Man Sheng was at fault. But you kill and kill, and you are punished, so be it. Those four great families are also the foundation of our Great Xia Dynasty. The Sheng family cannot be exterminated. ”

The Great Xia royal family has ancestral teachings. It is said that if the four great families were destroyed, the Great Xia Dynasty would also be overthrown.

Because of this reason, although the old man Sheng committed a serious crime that could punish the nine clans, the queen mother could not kill the entire Sheng family, so she could only compromise and wipe out all the descendants of the Sheng family.

"Also, the Sheng family's medical skills are said to only be passed down from the lineage. Now that the descendants are all dead, only Grandma Zheng is an outsider who has a little bit of the Sheng family's medical skills, in fact, it is also a little more than worth the loss. "In this matter, Xia Zhao had long wanted to persuade the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother was so angry that she couldn't listen to anyone's words at all, and she only wanted to kill everyone in the Sheng family in order to vent the hatred in her heart!

Although Zheng Suxin is a close disciple of Old Man Sheng, the medical skills that are really passed down by the Sheng family will not be taught to her.

The Queen Mother later figured this out. Although she also has some regrets, she is tough and never admits her mistakes. Therefore, whoever mentions her to cut off his head. By now, no one dared to mention it in front of her.

Only Xia Zhao, because she was brought up since she was a child, and her feelings are different from others, so she dared to speak in front of her.

The Queen Mother was silent for a long time, not wanting to ask this question again, turned her head to look at the room where Xia Zhao lived, and asked, "What are you going to do?" The mourning family can save you once, but it can't save you for a lifetime. You are still young, but the mourning family is already in the last years. Once the mourning family is gone, who can protect you? Help for you? ”

These days, Xia Zhao has already thought clearly. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to contact Aunt Situ.

Xia Zhao shook his robe, stood up from the kang, knelt in front of the Queen Mother, climbed her knees, raised her head and said, "Grandmother Huang, please allow Zhao'er to return to the vulgar." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned, her rosy lips were slightly curled, and the joy gradually revealed from the bottom of her heart.

"Did you figure it out?"

"My grandson figured it out. The grandson was born in the royal family, and there was no way to retreat. ――If you want to become a monk, you can end this life, but your grandson is too naïve. ”

"The trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop. It's good that you figure it out. The Queen Mother smiled like a peony in full bloom, and she was incomparably beautiful.

Although Xia Zhao was a junior, he couldn't stop such a supreme demeanor, so he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at the Queen Mother's face again.

The Queen Mother smiled and stroked his head and neck, "That's good." Wait for the mourning family to arrange. How are you living here? Do people here know who you are? ”

Xia Zhao smiled bitterly: "I didn't know before. But after today, they must have guessed a few points. "Don't say anything else, when the Queen Mother leaves the palace, the masters with her are all eunuchs, as long as those people take a look at the people of the Wang family, with the shrewdness of the Wang family, if you don't know, you must be pretending to be stupid.

"So what do you want to do? Destroy them? According to the mourning family, it is not enough to extinguish their family, if they want to be destroyed, the entire Wangjia Village has to be ...... "The Queen Mother may have sat in the highest position for too long, and these people are like radish and cabbage, cut if you want, cut if you want, cut if you want."

"No way!" Xia Zhao frowned, "Imperial Grandmother." They saved their grandson, and if they die because of this, the grandson has done too many evils, and I am afraid that he will not be able to sit on the highest position! ”
