Chapter 20: The Old Man Comes

The team of guards left by General Miao before is still stationed in Yunyang Mountain.

Since the last time Xie Jing and his wife saw the situation of those Gu guards, there have been no new discoveries in the future. However, in the middle of this, Mrs. Xie went to Yunyang Mountain alone, naturally to study those Gu worms that were refined by the undead, for her, she was also a wizard who made Gu, if this kind of rare witchcraft could be penetrated by herself, it would be a lot of challenges!

This time, Emperor Hui found a complete map of the treasure of Yunyang Mountain, and obtained the long-lost witchcraft of Tianzhu, Mrs. Xie heard Xie Jing's words mention this matter, and she was really moved, which is like a person who practices martial arts encounters a martial arts cheats, and his envy is not hidden. Immediately, Mrs. Xie took the initiative to ask to see Emperor Hui and proposed to travel to Yunyang Mountain.

How could Emperor Hui not agree, knowing that this Mrs. Xie and Xie Jing were very concentric, Xie Jing did not hide the matter of Yunyang Mountain from her, plus she was proficient in Gu arts, this trip would definitely come in handy, so he agreed.

Master Guangzhi finally waited for the mida monk who had arrived in a hurry, and it had been decades since the two had been separated for decades.

Mida Temple is in disrepair, the old monk who went out is to ask for some money to repair the damaged temple, the monks in the temple have already left one after another, leaving only the old monk to guard the temple, very hard. Guangzhi came, first, to reminisce about the past, and secondly, mainly to help old friends reorganize Mida Temple and praise the true scriptures of Buddhism.

Guangzhi took out the money and handed it over to the old monk, asking him to find someone to repair the temple first, and then take care of the rest of the affairs when he came back after finishing with Xie Jing.

Early this morning, Emperor Hui sent a secret agent outside the palace to find Chunxiu's grandmother, and there was news that someone had been found. It turned out that the Empress Dowager Qi changed her name and surname to be the daughter of the Qi family, and married Zhao Ren, the second son of Zhao Shangshu, a close confidant of the court, Zhao Ren, a scholar, Zhao Shangshu's eldest son died unexpectedly a few years ago, and now the second son Zhao Ren is in charge of the family, Chunxiu Mama, that is, Mrs. Zhao is now the hostess of the family to manage everything in the family. Mrs. Zhao has two sons, both of whom are young and promising, and their talents are not allowed to learn from their grandparents. Mrs. Zhao had a smooth life and could be described as a blessed person.

Emperor Hui immediately announced that Mrs. Zhao entered the palace to face the saint, "Now she is also my aunt, and she should walk around to take care of her." ”

Mrs. Zhao received the holy decree here, and she was not puzzled, after all, she had not been involved in the palace for many years since the death of the Empress Dowager Qi, and the emperor did not know his current identity, so he was somewhat worried. So he immediately asked the maids in the house to serve and change into palace clothes, clean up his appearance, and let the coachman drive the carriage to send him into the palace.

Father-in-law Xiao Lizi led Mrs. Zhao to the Ganlu Palace, and Emperor Hui had already informed Liu Yingming to wait behind the main hall.

"See the emperor!" Mrs. Zhao hurriedly bowed her head and saluted.

I haven't seen her for more than ten years, Emperor Hui recognized the person in front of her at a glance as Mama Chunxiu, it stands to reason that Mrs. Zhao should be in her forties now, but she still looks young and good, as if time has never experienced her, and she is more dignified and luxurious than before.

"Auntie doesn't need to be polite, I haven't seen my aunt for more than ten years since I said goodbye as a child." Emperor Hui said, "Auntie, please take a seat!" ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Presumably, the emperor should already know the identity of the concubine, I don't know what happened to today's summons?" ”

"Naturally, I miss my aunt, and I still miss being able to be taken care of by my aunt when I was a child."

"Thank you for the emperor's concern, and the concubine often misses the queen mother and the emperor!" Mrs. Zhao said, her eyes were slightly red, as if she was about to cry, "The concubine can have today, it is all the kindness of the queen mother, and the concubine is toothless and unforgettable!" ”

"Presumably, the queen mother and aunt have a very deep relationship, and the queen mother naturally hopes that you can have a good home."

"The concubine has accompanied the Queen Mother in Qi Mansion since she was a child, until she entered the palace, but in the end, she couldn't accompany the Queen Mother to the last time, and she didn't see the Queen Mother for the last time······" The more Mrs. Zhao spoke, the more sad she became.

"Well, aunt, you don't have to be so sad," Emperor Hui reassured, "and the queen mother doesn't want to see you sad. ”

Mrs. Zhao stopped her grief, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with an embroidered handkerchief, and asked softly, "The emperor summoned the concubine to come, but he wants to ask about the Queen Mother?" "Mrs. Zhao is not stupid, the emperor who has not been seen for more than ten years cannot be just to catch up with a former slave and maid.

Emperor Hui waved his hand to disperse the palace people, and asked bluntly, "Auntie, you should have won the trust of the queen mother the most!" ”

"Indeed, the concubine and the queen mother are like sisters, so to speak, the queen mother treats me as a sister." Mrs. Zhao continued, "Actually, the concubine can also be regarded as the sister of the queen mother, the concubine's mother was the maid of the second master of Qi Mansion back then, and was pregnant by the second master of Qi Shi Qiang, and the second lady of Qi found out and drove my mother out, fortunately I was rescued by Mrs. Qi at that time, that is, the mother of the queen mother, and settled my mother in the backyard, so that she gave birth to the concubine smoothly. Because the second master and Mrs. Qi resolutely refused to recognize me, my mother died of depression soon after, and the concubine was adopted by Mrs. Qi and accompanied the Queen Mother since she was a child. ”

Mrs. Zhao talked about her life experience and was sad, and her soft and weak appearance made people pity.

"I didn't expect my aunt to be a poor person, but fortunately I have a queen mother, aunt, you are all going well now, this should be your mother and my mother to protect my aunt in heaven!"

"The biggest benefactor of the concubine's life is naturally the queen mother and the eldest lady, they are the most good-hearted and good people in the world."

Liu Yingming, who was hiding behind the palace, heard that the Queen Mother in Mrs. Zhao's mouth was so good, but why did she abandon herself so ruthlessly?

Emperor Hui said formally, "In this way, my aunt is the closest person in my mother's mother's family, and there is something I want to verify with my aunt." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"The queen mother gave birth to twins that year?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao showed a relieved expression on her face, "The concubine knows that this matter will not be able to be concealed in the end." ”

"But fortunately, after so many years, the first person to find out was the emperor, so it's okay, for that child, there is always a debt and guilt." Mrs. Zhao said slowly, "The Queen Mother was indeed a twin back then!" ”

"If you are a twin, why am I the only one? And what about the other one? ”

"Your Majesty, this matter, the concubine has always had a dispute with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was in labor, and suddenly dreamed one night that her twin royal sons grew up, one of them killed the other, causing the traitors to take advantage of the chaos to invade, the imperial power fell, and the dynasty changed. The Queen Mother secretly summoned the most famous Xiangshi divination at that time, saying that the Queen Mother was pregnant with the Son of Heaven, and the two fetuses in her womb would become the true Dragon Son of Heaven in the future, but only one could be left in the end, otherwise the world would be in chaos. ”

"And then?"

"Then the Queen Mother really gave birth to two sons on the night of childbirth, they are exactly the same, and they are pitiful and loving!" Mrs. Zhao sighed, "The Queen Mother can't, she can't bear it, how many days and nights she cried, but the Queen Mother was convinced that the dream was a warning to her, and she was also convinced of the words of the Xiangshi, and on the night she gave birth to the child, the Queen Mother let the concubine take one away and send it out of the palace to find a proper person to adopt." ”

Liu Yingming and Emperor Hui heard that there were a lot of thoughts in their hearts here, they were really making people!

"That kid was sent to Liujiazhuang?" Hui Di asked.

"The emperor knows," Mrs. Zhao said, "It is Liu Xiucai's house, at that time, Mrs. Liu Xiucai happened to be breastfeeding in childbirth not long ago, and the emperor sent it over to take care of it." ”

"Did the queen mother ever visit that child?"

"That's the case, at that time, the queen mother let the concubine take one out of the palace, and the concubine body was not immediately sent to Liu Xiucai's house, but secretly took it back to the Qi Mansion and handed it over to Mrs. Qi to raise, but the second lady of Qi always stared at the big house and wanted to give birth to some trouble, the queen mother knew that the concubine did not send the child out, she was very uneasy, she was afraid that the dream of losing the country would come true, so she found an excuse to go out of the palace and send the emperor to Liu Xiucai's house with the concubine, gave him a lot of money, and told Liu Xiucai to take care of it, The Queen Mother specially explained that Liu Xiucai's child was the widow of a criminal minister, and he could not study and go on a career in the future, for fear of disaster. ”

Liu Yingming was relieved to hear this.

"According to the instructions of the Queen Mother, the concubine will go out of the palace several times a year to see the emperor, until he leaves Liujiazhuang."

"And do you know where he is now?" Hui Di asked deliberately.

"A few years ago, the concubine sent someone to finally find the emperor to go to the theater troupe, and later became the boss of the theater troupe, the emperor you don't know, once, the queen mother lent the palace to the temple to incense the beginning, and secretly went to see the emperor singing on stage with the concubine once, the queen mother listened to the play, while crying, she said she was sorry for the emperor, after returning to the palace was sick for two months, the concubine body knew, it was a heart disease······

Liu Yingming's heart was sad, it turned out that his biological mother had also come to see her, it turned out that she had never forgotten herself!

"The queen mother said that the emperor should have been clothed and fed, but he suffered a lot of hardship among the people to be a servant, she felt guilty, and her heart ached! She said that if there is an afterlife, she must love that emperor well and make up for him with everything she has, but there is nothing she can do in this life. ”

When Emperor Hui heard this, he also felt that he didn't know that his loving mother was living in painful self-blame every day, while his own brothers and sisters were far away from the palace and away from their parents, and they tasted warmth and coldness in the world!

"Commander Liu, did you hear it all?" Emperor Hui shouted.

Liu Yingming walked out slowly, with an indescribable expression on her face, and saluted Emperor Hui and Mrs. Zhao, "The subordinates have heard it clearly!" ”
