Chen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, it was already morning.

She didn't know if she was asleep or not, her dreams were so clear.

She suspected that she was young and didn't know what it meant to be married, and she just wanted to find someone to accompany her.

But she was 16 years old that year.

The father and mother are already giving her a kiss.

She stopped thinking, got up from the bed, washed up quickly, and ran to her mother.

Along the way, she was terrified that someone would find out and that she would be stopped.

But no one stopped her until she ran to the door, and no one wouldn't let her in.

It didn't look like it was being watched, it was like looking for a quiet place for my mother to live.

"Mother!"

Yu Shi turned around, with a little resentment in helpless joy, "Why is Jiaojiao here?" ”

"Missed you."

As soon as she saw her mother Chen Jiaojiao, she couldn't control her tears, puffed out her mouth and hugged her waist coquettishly, shaking.

"Jiaojiao is so old, and she is still coquettish. Why didn't you stick to me so much when I was a child," Yu smiled and pinched her nose, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to her, "Drink some water, your hands are so cold, and you don't wear more." ”

Chen Jiaojiao responded with a smile and took a sip of hot water. She didn't talk to her mother about the previous few days, she only said that she was okay with everything.

Yu looked at her, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

Drinking Chen Jiaojiao suddenly remembered the most critical thing she had come to today, and put down the cup seriously, "Mother, do you know the golden seal?" ”

Yu's eyelids jumped slightly and nodded.

"Do you know where it is?"

"Why do you ask that?"

If it was a mother, it would be fine, and she couldn't figure it out herself, so I wanted to ask her opinion.

She told it all, "It's the sixth brother, Yuan Ze." He said that someone was behind him to help him, and he only needed a golden seal to restore the country! We'll be the same as before. ”

Yu Shi looked at the longing in the eyes of the person in front of him, didn't say a word, and slowly spoke for a while, "What does Jiaojiao think?" ”

Chen Jiaojiao lowered her eyes, shook her head hesitantly and nodded, "I, I don't know." ”

"Do you hate Your Majesty?"

It's a question sentence, Chen Jiaojiao raised her head fiercely, "Don't you hate, don't you hate, don't you hate, don't you hate." Shouldn't they all hate him?! ”

She couldn't understand why her mother could ask such questions.

"I don't hate, and neither does your father. I don't know about others, but at least for us, it's easy. ”

Yu Shi smiled, sighed, and raised his finger to a circle.

Chen Jiaojiao followed her hand and looked over, her mother didn't know when she started believing in Buddhism, and she had been chanting Buddhism for so many years.

Now this room, neither big nor small, has been cleaned up by her. The fragrance of Buddha is refreshing, and her state is also leisurely.

Chen Jiaojiao doesn't understand, she doesn't understand, she doesn't understand at all.

"Your sixth brother, Chen Yuanze," Yu smiled again, "his biological mother once harmed the fetus in my womb, and you should have an older brother." Jiaojiao, you say, who should you hate? ”

"What........ Is it? ”

Chen Jiaojiao was chilled, she had always been good friends with him, but it turned out that she was ........

"If you don't sin as a child, I haven't told you. Yuanze is also a good boy, Jiaojiao is in charge of herself. You're older, and your mother can't stop you from saying anything. ”

"Mother, are you hiding something from me?"

Chen Jiaojiao suddenly calmed down and looked at Shangyu's steady eyes.

"Yes. I know the Golden Seal, but I don't know where, it's the end of a bet your father made with an old friend, and he stayed there. ”

"When is Mother going to tell me?"

"Wait until your mind understands."

Yu's finger touched Chen Jiaojiao's heart, and she frowned, as if she had been pierced through her heart.

Wait for her heart to understand, what to think, and what to understand.

She didn't know, but she wanted to ask about things she didn't know.

"Mother, how did I survive that year?"

Yu knew what she was talking about, and that was the only time she was in distress.

She actually didn't know the specific ins and outs, "I stood at the door of the temple that day and looked around, thinking that you were naughty and crazy, and wanted to ask someone to find you." You're a kid, it really scares me badly. When he came over with you in his arms, I thought I had seen a ghost. I don't know if the water melted away the blood, or if it was just blood. ”

Saying that, Yu nodded Chen Jiaojiao's frowning brows, "Your face was pale at that time, and there was no temperature on your body at all. Hug him tightly. The moment before he fell to his knees, he handed you over to me. At that time, I was completely at a loss, and I went to ask for a doctor, but the temple was in chaos, no one cared about him, and I didn't know how he survived. Later, when he begged me to ask you how you were, I found out that he had cut his arm that day, and he kept himself awake and carried you from Tingxue Lake to me. ”

"Jiaojiao, my mother is at fault. I sensed that you were wrong, so I didn't let him look at you and punished him. ”

"What did you punish him?"

Chen Jiaojiao felt that she was back to that day in an instant, she didn't feel much cold, and she didn't have much consciousness when she leaned on his arms.

He is the one who is in pain and trades his life for her.

But now just listening to it, she felt cold, and the chill went straight to her heart.

"Flogging."

"Mother!"

Yu exhaled slowly, avoiding Chen Jiaojiao's tearful eyes in disbelief. She regretted it, too, but she really wanted the boy to die at the time.

"How much?"

Chen Jiaojiao covered her mouth tremblingly and heard the number.

thirty

Thirty lashes, it's really hard to live.

"So I didn't see him until the end of the spring, when he had just survived? So you asked so many people to protect me, did you not want me to be alone with him? ”

Chen Jiaojiao didn't know what to say now, so she pushed the door and ran out.

He didn't mention a word to her, what life and death in an instant, what punishment.

Later, she had Brother Fuyin, Sister Chang Ran, and she rarely remembered him after they were together.

He really hid in the crowd, and when he saw him, he pulled him, and if he didn't see him, forget it.

Running on the soft snow, she staggered two steps and lifted the hem of her skirt.

I want to see him, I want to see him now.

"Chen Jiaojiao, will you go in and thank Your Majesty?"

Her ears echoed the words of He Shuming yesterday, and her tears welled up, and her face was cool against the wind.

Running to the entrance of Yongming Palace, she gasped and calmed down two mouthfuls, just about to walk in.

I saw Chen Zhen walking out of the hall from a distance and was sent out by Gao Gongde.

She seemed to see her when she came down the stairs, the two looked at each other, Chen Jiaojiao could see her raise her eyebrows and smile, turned her head to Gao Gongde and said, "I will come to see Your Majesty tomorrow, and please take care of Your Majesty." Your Majesty doesn't care about your body, but I can't sleep day and night. ”

Her voice was deliberately raised, Chen Jiaojiao heard it clearly, withdrew her right foot, stepped into the snow, and left footprints.

Ah Wu is Ah Wu, Your Majesty is Your Majesty.

The past is the past, and now it's not her.

He Shuming walked out to take a breath, but saw her standing in place, taking two steps back and running away.

He looked back and forth, as if he understood.

The two of them are like a tug-of-war, as if neither wants the other to win, but in the end they are both losers.
