Mother and son, heart-to-heart......

When I heard him say these words in a voice that was almost smiling, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

Mother and son, heart-to-heart.

Even if others don't know, it's impossible for me not to understand who is in this world who can have such a sense of connection with the Queen Mother.

What does Shin mean by saying this to me?

The haze that had been accumulated in my heart became even more gloomy at this moment, I only felt that my heartbeat was paused, and I looked at him almost suffocated, and Shen Gongyi also smiled faintly at me: "Mother and son are connected, this sentence, Lord Yue should also be very clear." ”

“……”

"Isn't it?"

“……”

I looked at me with wide eyes, my body couldn't help trembling slightly, only to see Shen Gongyi smile at me again, and then turned around and said, "Several, let's not join in the excitement here, let's go back first." ”

General Chen Fu and several other veteran generals glanced at each other, but they all seemed to convey something in their eyes, and they all turned around and left.

I stood in place, watching their backs, slowly disappearing on the mountain path, the night was dark, covering the surrounding qiē with a veil of darkness, and also made my heart dark.

And this darkness doesn't stop at night.

The next day, I didn't wake up early, but the injury on my hand really made me suffer all night.

No matter how much it tossed and turned, it was wrong, and my heart was tormented as if it was roasted by a small fire, and I finally closed my eyes when it was almost dawn, but I was awakened by my own nightmare.

In the dream, the eyes that were originally clear as a mirror in the warm weather in the south of the Yangtze River, as if they were also engulfed in darkness, disappeared little by little, and finally became a void around me.

I sat up from the bed all of a sudden, only to feel that my heart was beating so violently in my chest that it seemed to pop out, almost painful, my face was covered with cold sweat, and the hair on both sides was wet, Shui Xiu hurriedly ran to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said with concern: "My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

As she spoke, she took a handkerchief to help me wipe the cold sweat on my face, and I looked at her in a daze, and I couldn't come back to my senses after a long time.

"My lord, did you have a nightmare? Or is it a sore hand? ”

As she spoke, carefully holding my heavily bandaged hand, I slowly came to my senses, glanced at her, and shook my head: "No, it's okay." ”

"......" she took another look at my face and muttered, "It's okay." ”

After saying that, she helped me freshen up as before, my hand was injured, and I had to rely on her even more, almost becoming a waste, but fortunately, this girl served me wholeheartedly, and didn't let me move a little, and after a while, she cleaned up, and then accompanied me to open the curtain and walk out.

Outside, it's already a different scene.

This is the third day of the spring hunt, and it should be the time for everyone to gallop in the forest, but as soon as the emperor falls ill, the situation is completely different.

I walked out of the tent and looked around, those courtiers were standing around the king's tent in twos and threes, all talking in a low voice, and the expressions on everyone's faces were very different, but the oppressive atmosphere was like a thick and dark cloud overhead, covering the sky over the Juma River Valley, and also covering everyone's hearts.

At this time of the day, the spring hunting team had already been prepared at Taniguchi, but today, it seemed that no one had passed.

I frowned slightly: "What about those people?" ”

"It's all gone."

"All scattered?" Strange, even if Pei Yuanhaolong is unwell and can't travel for spring hunting, but the rules have been set, even if the emperor doesn't travel, the spring hunting team should be ready, and wait for the queen to be assigned.

I was puzzled, when I saw Chang Qing in front of me also standing there, as if she was talking to the people around her, her willow-like eyebrows frowned slightly, she turned her head to see me, nodded slightly, and I hurriedly walked over to salute her: "Queen Mother, this is- what's wrong?" ”

She glanced back at the king's tent and didn't answer my question, but just said to Kou'er: "Go back to the palace." ”

Then he said to me, "Come here." ”

"Yes."

I agreed, and hurriedly followed, as Chang Qing entered the account, she asked Guan'er and Shui Xiu to go down and look at Nian Shen together, don't let him run around, I did it by myself, I walked to her, bowed my head and said softly: "Queen Mother-?" ”

"It's Mrs. Shen, who passed on the word in advance."

"What?"

"It was he who passed the word, and today's spring hunt doesn't have to be carried out."

“……”

My expression suddenly became solemn.

Although Pei Yuanhao has always let Shen Taifu arrange this spring hunt, it is naturally understandable for him to do some things, but in the end, the monarch and ministers are in order, and the queen, and even the queen mother are here, and now that the emperor is in poor health, it is not the turn of Shen Taifu to call the shots in this scene, but he is now acting like this......

I asked, "Did he come to ask you?" ”

"Ask? Why didn't you ask? Chang Qing's eyes revealed a sneer: "After giving the order, ask me if this is appropriate." ”

“……”

I immediately gritted my teeth, and at this moment, another voice came from outside: "Queen Mother, Mrs. Shen asks to see you." ”

He's here again?

I frowned, and when I looked at Chang Qing, her eyebrows were also slightly frowned, and her eyes were cold as if to say, "Look at what he is going to do", so I sat there upright: "Please." ”

The curtain opened, and Shin Gongjun walked in through the door.

As soon as he came in, he immediately saw me, although he was a little surprised, but it didn't seem to surprise him too much, and he knelt down slowly: "The old minister meets the queen." ”

"Mrs. Shen, please." Chang Qingyi raised his hand: "I don't know if Taifu is coming, what's the matter?" ”

"That's right," Mrs. Shen stood up slowly and said, "Queen Mother, now that the emperor is in poor health, he should take a good rest, but there are many people in this valley, which will inevitably affect the rest of the emperor and the queen, as well as all the mothers." The old minister has already dispatched the imperial camp to the valleys on both sides, which can protect the emperor and the queen's mother, and secondly, it will not affect the emperor's interest rate reduction. I don't know if the queen thinks it's appropriate for the minister to arrange it like this? ”

Chang Qing's eyes turned cold all of a sudden.

When I heard this, I chuckled in my heart.

He sent all the men of the Imperial Camp to the valleys on both sides, that is to say, all of them were assigned to his use, then—

I gritted my teeth and asked, "Mrs. Shen, what do you mean by this?" ”

Shen Gongyi didn't even look at me, and said proudly: "Lord Yue, the old man is talking to the queen mother now, when will it be your turn to interject from the Jixian Palace?" ”

"......" I bit my lower lip and couldn't speak again.

In any case, he is still a powerful Taifu lord, and now here, only the queen and the queen mother can overpower him on the surface, but when it comes to the power in the court, it is already clear at a glance.

Seeing that my face was a little red, Chang Qing raised her hand slightly, as if she was pulling me behind her, then looked at Shen Gongyi, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shen, although Yue Qingying is only a Jixian Hall orthography, she has followed the palace all these years, but she knows the heart of the palace, and the palace has never regarded her as just a Jixian Palace." ”

“……”

Shin Gongyun lowered his head, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.

Chang Qing continued to say slowly: "What she asked just now is exactly what this palace wants to ask. Master Taifu, why is this so? ”

Shen Gongyi said with a smile: "Niangniang has learned a lesson, but the old minister was negligent." However, the old minister's arrangement is also for the sake of the emperor's dragon body, since the mother thinks it is inappropriate, then the old minister will transfer them back. ”

“……”

Chang Qing didn't speak immediately, just frowned slightly, as if he was pondering something.

The tent suddenly fell into a sense of rigidity, I looked at Chang Qing from the side, and I didn't know what she thought for a while, but after a while, I saw her smile faintly and said, "Well, since Lord Taifu has made such an arrangement for the sake of the emperor's dragon body, the palace will approve you." ”

"Xie Niangniang. The old minister retired. ”

After saying that, he leaned down again, as if looking up at me, with a little coldness in his eyes, and turned to go out.

I stood behind Chang Qing, and there was no movement for a while, but after a long while, I heard Chang Qing sigh.

This sigh seems to have a sense of detachment.

I said softly, "Niangniang, is he-?" ”

"Hmm." Chang Qing nodded: "Even now, this palace asks him to transfer people back, it won't help, I'm afraid it's even worse." ”

I also nodded, although Shen Gongyi said so about this matter, but in fact, it is no longer important whether or not to transfer the royal camp soldiers, the important thing is that all the royal camp soldiers are dispatched by him!

These people are already his people!

When I think of this, I just feel my heart beat tighter.

In such a Juma River Valley, far away from the capital, the previous qiē was all arranged by Shen Gongyi, and he naturally held all the qiē in his hands, and the worst thing was that Pei Yuanhao was now seriously ill and had not recovered.

My brows furrowed and I looked at Chang Qing: "What countermeasures does Niangniang have?" ”

Chang Qing thought for a long time before saying, "Now, the only thing we can rely on is the Praetorian Guards, but they-"

Sun Jingfei, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, was personally promoted by Pei Yuanhao, and although I have not had in-depth contact with him, I can also see what kind of person he is from getting along these days, and the Praetorian Guard should still be able to move, but there are not many Praetorian Guards dispatched this time, and if you really have to deal with the well-trained soldiers of the imperial camp-

At the thought of this, both her and I looked a little darker.

After a while, Chang Qing finally said slowly: "Now, I just hope that the emperor can wake up soon." ”

"......" I was silent and nodded.

She sat for a while, got up and said, "This palace will go over to see the emperor again, Qingying, will you go with this palace?" ”

I thought about it and shook my head: "No, Xiaguan has other things." ”

"Oh?"

Chang Qing glanced at me, I only bowed my head lightly, and accompanied her out of the tent, and she walked towards the king's tent, and I turned around and walked the other way.
