In the study of the county lord's mansion, two years ago, news of all sizes was gathered and spread here, and now, Qin Shu and Gao Zhen met here, but their moods were completely different.

Qin Shu was excited and excited, and Gao Zhen was lost and sad.

"Second son, it seems that you are not very happy to see me?" Qin Shu asked.

Gao Zhen sighed, "I thought Arlo was here."

Qin Shu asked, "So you know that the one in the palace is a fake?"

"You've been following me?" Gao Zhen asked.

Qin Shu nodded, "I've been following you ever since you entered the city."

Gao Zhen was suddenly excited, "You also know that the palace is fake, so you also know where Ah Luo is, right?"

"Yes."

With Qin Shu's affirmative answer, Gao Zhen asked one after another, "Where is she? Are you hurt? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

「......」

Qin Shu said, "Second son, you have asked me so many questions in a row, which one should I answer?"

"Naturally, they all answered." Gao Zhen said.

Qin Shu sighed, "The master was imprisoned in Baili Mansion and was not injured, but she was injured and her movements were restricted, so she had nothing to say to you."

"But!" Qin Shu added, "The master needs me to find the whereabouts of the two Baili Masters first."

Gao Zhen naturally saw that the Baili Han in the palace was not real, but he couldn't imagine for a while, where would he lock people up?

Qin Shu continued, "This fake Baili Han in the palace is actually Jin Ziji."

"Jin Ziji?" Gao Zhen was a little shocked, "Then the one we caught in Ningzhou is fake?"

Qin Shu nodded, "If you think like this, it should be."

"Do you have any clues about the whereabouts of the two Baili adults?" Gao Zhen asked.

Qin Shu said, "The master asked me to go into the palace to find the Queen Mother for help, and go to the Xianyang Palace to have a look."

"The Queen Mother?" Gao Zhen remembered the information he got from Xia Ji's mouth when he was in Ningzhou, and he was instantly a little uneasy.

He asked confirmatively, "Did Ah Luo personally ask you to find the Queen Mother?"

Qin Shu was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with finding the Queen Mother?" Thinking back to that time, the master was also a little hesitant when he talked about this matter."

「......」

Gao Zhen didn't answer, and continued to ask, "Then have you found the Queen Mother?"

Qin Shu shook his head, "Not yet, I don't have a chance."

Gao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Jin Ziji lives in Baili Mansion, you keep an eye on him, and I will do the things that find the Queen Mother."

"Okay." Qin Shu nodded, "By the way, the master also said that as long as you explain that you are the master's person, the queen mother will help."

Gao Zhen frowned, even more uneasy.

Qin Shu noticed Gao Zhen's strangeness and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nope." Gao Zhen shook his head, "Since you are here, then, who left that wooden tablet from the Luo family's ancestral tomb?"

"It's me, too." Qin Shu explained, "I thought that after the second son entered the city, he would definitely go back to the place where I last appeared, but I thought that maybe they would send someone to spy on you, so I had to leave a fake news."

"What if I don't go to buy hibiscus cake all the time?" Gao Zhen asked rhetorically.

Qin Shu smiled, "That's not going to happen, the master loves to eat hibiscus cakes so much, you will definitely buy them."

Gao Zhen smiled, "Does this count, tell the world about your weakness."

「......」

Qin Shu didn't answer, but Gao Zhen had a positive answer in his heart.

Gao Zhen asked tentatively, "Can I go and see Arlo?"

「......」

Qin Shu was silent, "I think, they should have already transferred the master, and besides, the master said, don't go to her, she will find a way to get out by herself."

「...... Okay, I got it." Gao Zhen is clearly lost.

Qin Shu explained, "Mainly, this matter is involved

When it comes to the two hundred miles of adults, the master doesn't dare to force them into a hurry."

"I know it all," Gao Zhen said, "you don't have to explain."

Qin Shu saluted, "Then, second son, I'll leave first, if you need to find me, put the news in the cake shop, the shopkeeper is your own person, you can completely trust it."

"Got it."

It was agreed that the two of them would leave one after the other.

Gao Zhen thought, "If you want to see the Queen Mother, you still have to go back to the palace."

After deciding on it, Gao Zhen headed in the direction of the palace.

With his current martial arts, no one noticed that he had crossed the corner of the imperial city.

Although he has lived in the palace for more than ten years, Gao Zhen has never stepped into the queen mother's bedroom.

Outside the queen mother's dormitory, there was no one to guard it, so he entered the palace more easily.

was originally looking for the Queen Mother, Gao Zhen did not deliberately hide the footsteps, but deliberately amplified them.

Huang Shi heard the movement, picked up the broom, and walked to the porch.

Seeing that it was Gao Zhen, he did not relax, but became more vigilant, "Your Highness, can't you come in?"

Seeing Huang Shi's actions, Gao Zhen believed Xia Ji's words a little more in his heart.

When the Queen Mother heard the sound, she asked, "Did Qingqing come to see me?"

Huang Shi immediately threw down the broom and blocked her vision with his body, "It's not the county lord, it's the Internal Affairs Bureau who came to deliver something."

The Queen Mother smiled, "That's better, the clothes I sent last month are not good, I don't like it, just tell them."

"!"

Even if Huang Shi tried his best, he couldn't prevent the Queen Mother from seeing Gao Zhen.

Just a glance, the Queen Mother was stunned, and after a while, she began to cry, staggering forward, and muttering, "Ah, my Ah."

Gao Zhen unconsciously stepped back, but he couldn't resist the sudden hug of the Queen Mother.

"Ah, my Ah, you are finally willing to see your mother."

Gao Zhen's gaze was on Huang Shi, who slowly shifted his gaze.

The sound of the Queen Mother's crying became louder and louder, and Huang Shi hurriedly stepped forward, "Niangniang, you can't be so loud, there will be bad people to catch the little boy."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately stopped crying and looked around vigilantly, "Gao Huan, you can't, you can't snatch your son from my side anymore." As he spoke, he hugged Gao Zhen tightly in his arms.

Gao Zhen was pained and said gently, "Niangniang, you, you let me go first, no one will come."

"Mother?" The Queen Mother smiled, "You are finally willing to call me mother, I used to go to see you secretly, and you called someone else's mother."

Huang Shi stepped forward to help the Queen Mother and said respectfully, "Little boy, come in and talk."

Gao Zhen adjusted his breathing and followed Huang into the dormitory.

Huang Shi helped the Queen Mother to the chair and looked at Gao Zhen, "Little boy, I know you have a lot of questions, and the slave can only tell you that Niangniang does have a son."

Gao Zhen closed his eyes, thought about it, and opened them again, "I will find out about this matter, I came today, there is something that needs the help of the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother suddenly changed to a sluggish expression again.

Huang Shi explained, "Don't worry, little boy, Niang Niang is like this, you say, what needs to be done?"

Gao Zhen explained his intention, "I need to go to the Xianyang Hall to check some things, but now that His Majesty lives in it, and the Grand Commander personally guards it, I can't enter."

"It's easy." Huang Shi said, "I will send His Majesty over to ask for peace with the Empress Dowager's decree."

"Okay, then I'll bother you."

Huang Shi saluted, "Childe has tormented me, so I'll do it when I'm angry."

Huang Shi left, and suddenly only Gao Zhen and the Queen Mother were left in the hall.

Gao Zhen was a little at a loss, so he could only drink the tea that had already been cold in the cup.

"You have a red mole on your back."

The Queen Mother suddenly spoke, and Gao Zhen was startled.

"What did you say?" Gao Zhen asked.

The Queen Mother got up slowly, and it seemed to be over

A fully sober look.

Then, she began to say to herself: "That year, when I was weak after giving birth, he drugged me in my decoction, put me in a state of suspended animation, and snatched me from Ayi's side."

Gao Zhen listened carefully, for fear of missing any detail.

"He asked me to forcibly conceive," she said, she looked at Gao Zhen with teary eyes, "At first, I didn't want you at all, and I tried many methods, but you still stayed in my belly steadily, and I accepted my fate......

"And then?" Gao Zhen asked.

The Queen Mother sighed deeply, "Later, in order to escape from the palace, I began to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and even threw you to the ground......

As if remembering something painful, the Queen Mother covered her head.

"And then? And then? Why, why can't I remember.......

Although Gao Zhen also wanted to know the truth, seeing her like this, he comforted her gently, "It's okay, if you can't think of it, you don't want to, you don't want to."

coincided with Huang Shi coming back, and Gao Zhen handed over the Queen Mother to him.

Huang Shi said, "Little boy, Your Majesty has come this way, you can go to the Manifestation Yang Palace."

Gao Zhen saluted, "Thank you, father-in-law."

Huang Shi bent down, "Don't dare, don't dare."

The Queen Mother fell silent again, Gao Zhen glanced at her uneasily, took a few steps forward, and turned back, "Ah Luo, you already know, right?"

「......」

Huang Shi didn't make a sound, just nodded silently.

Gao Zhen's heart tingled, and after a while, he said firmly, "I will find out."

Huang Shi didn't say much, just sighed one after another.

Gao Zhen detoured from the path to the Xianyang Palace, and outside the hall at this time, only the palace maids and eunuchs were routinely waiting.

He went around to the back window, and through the window he entered the Hall of the Sun.

The layout of the hall has not changed much, and even the decorations are the same as before.

He thought about it, followed the five elements gossip, and looked for the secret room in the palace.

It took some time to find the mechanism of the dark room at the bottom of the bookcase.

The secret room opened, but there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall.

"Where's Your Majesty?" "Luo Qingzhi" asked.

The palace maid replied, "Your Majesty was summoned by the Queen Mother."

"The Queen Mother?" "Luo Qingzhi" looked at the closed door in front of her, "Open the door."

Gao Zhen had to close the secret room again, walk to the bookshelf, and pick up a book at random.

"Luo Qingzhi" saw Gao Zhen, her eyes were surprised, but she didn't shout, and ordered, "Close the door, don't come in if there is any noise inside."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Luo Qingzhi" approached Gao Zhen without changing or busy, and asked gently, "What are you doing here?" Aren't you looking for clues outside the palace?"

Gao Zhen smiled softly and said ambiguously, "I miss you, so I came."
