Completely ignoring the palace rules and etiquette, he stumbled into the leopard room, Liu Jin pulled his neck and wailed:

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is dying!"

Bad news, big news!

Zhu Houzhao was swirling in front of his eyes, and he almost fainted, and glared at Liu Jin viciously: "What's wrong with the Queen Mother, say?" ”

There is only one queen mother in the Taiwu Dynasty, that is, his old mother, the Empress Dowager Zhang, who heard that something happened to the Empress Dowager Zhang, where can he be calm.

It is true that there is a dislike between mother and son, but Empress Dowager Zhang is his mother after all.

grunt

Looking up at Zhu Houzhao, who was red in his eyes, Liu Jin swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said cautiously: "Dongchang has received the latest news, the Queen Mother's life is coming to an end, and I am afraid that time is running out." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Houzhao had already disappeared in place.

Hongzhi Dynasty, the queen's dormitory

Empress Dowager Zhang was lying on the sickbed with a weak breath, her life was like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.

Like Li Yu, Empress Dowager Zhang's cultivation talent is not high, even if she has a baptism of luck, it is difficult to climb the realm of immortals, and in the end, she still uses countless resources to pile up.

The elixir of increasing cultivation and prolonging life, Empress Dowager Zhang has eaten a lot, and her body has developed serious drug resistance, even if there is the peach of the queen mother and the ginseng fruit of Zhen Yuanzi, it is difficult to save the life of Empress Dowager Zhang.

On the side of the sickbed, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have aged hundreds of years overnight, with a little gray hair on his head.

Before the Ming Dynasty embarked on the transcendent road, it was the Empress Dowager Zhang who sent him away, and the Ming Dynasty embarked on the transcendent road, and it was he who sent the Empress Dowager Zhang away.

Obviously, the couple is deeply in love, but it is difficult to escape the separation of yin and yang, and fate always loves to play tricks on others.

Airplanes~

The space was distorted, like rippling water, and Zhu Houzhao's figure appeared, and he suddenly rushed to the sickbed.

Looking at the angry Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhu Houzhao's heart suddenly ached for some reason.

He can be ruthless to anyone, but he is always a human being, and if he is a human being, he has an inseparable concern.

The true yuan condensed into a silk thread, wrapped around the wrist of the Empress Dowager Zhang, transformed the aura of heaven and earth into vitality, and entered the body of the Empress Dowager Zhang through the silk thread of the true yuan, extending her life.

However, Empress Dowager Zhang's physical functions have aged to the extreme, and the surging vitality entering the body is like a mud cow entering the sea, which has no effect at all.

A hand was placed on Zhu Houzhao's shoulder, preventing him from continuing to instill vitality, and Emperor Hongzhi said with a bitter expression:

"It's useless, her longevity is over, and no one can recover it."

Zhu Houzhao silently Zhenyuan silk thread, there is no way to save Empress Dowager Zhang, but he can't do it.

Taishang Laojun's Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill, the Western Queen Mother's Immortal Elixir, and the Book of Life and Death that can reverse the law of life and death are all too far away.

As if sensing Zhu Houzhao's arrival, Empress Dowager Zhang took her last breath, opened her eyes, looked at this son who made her both proud and helpless, and said in a weak voice: "Zhao'er."

I want to reach out and touch my beloved son's face, but I am so powerless that I feel like I am burdened even when I move.

Zhu Houzhao held Empress Dowager Zhang's hand tightly, he didn't cry or speak.

His mother is dying, but the son is powerless, and he tastes bitterness for the first time in his life.

The mother and son looked at each other, and all the suspicions arising from the past disappeared at this time.

Life comes to an end, and everything is illusory.

Empress Dowager Zhang pointed to the direction outside the palace with difficulty, she still has a son who has not come.

She is going to die, and all she longs for is to see her son, and to always reflect the appearance of her son in her mind.

Zhu Houzhao moved as soon as he moved, and was photographed by King An, who was imprisoned in the palace.

After many years of captivity, Wang An was almost driven crazy, with a disheveled hair and ragged clothes, without the appearance of a royal nobleman.

At the first sight of Zhu Houzhao, King An subconsciously hid back, hiding behind Emperor Hongzhi, his eyes full of fear and resentment.

Just stretched out his hand, and imprisoned him for thousands of years, this cheap brother of his, too ruthless, too desperate.

When he learned that Empress Dowager Zhang's life was not long in coming, Wang An cried loudly, crying silently, and was extremely sad.

"O Queen Mother"

King An burst into tears, as if the sky had fallen, and he didn't know whether his cry was true or false, or both.

Empress Dowager Zhang is also his mother, her son cries for his mother, it is justified, and without the protection of Empress Dowager Zhang, if he touches Zhu Houzhao's taboo again in the future, it will not be as simple as being banned.

"Don't cry, don't cry"

Relying on Zhu Houzhao's wisp of true yuan, he reluctantly sat up, looking at his little son who kept crying, Empress Dowager Zhang protected him one last time:

"In the future, you must keep to yourself, and don't embarrass your brother."

She watched Zhu Houzhao grow up all the way, she knew Zhu Houzhao's temperament and means too well, and knew that King An couldn't fight Zhu Houzhao, so she was dying, and she had to tell King An to keep to himself.

Only by keeping to himself, King An can live, if King An is still a thief, then the consequences are difficult to say, may not die, but will be more uncomfortable than death.

"The sons obey the teachings of the queen mother!"

Did King An take Empress Dowager Zhang's advice to heart, Empress Dowager Zhang didn't know, the instructions that should have been instructed have been given, and the future will be left to fate.

looked at Zhu Houzhao, Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes were confused and changing, looking back on the past, and the past events came to mind one by one.

I don't know when this son became more and more estranged from her, and I don't know when the gap between mother and son became deeper and deeper

Thousands of years have passed, and her memory has long been blurred and she can't remember clearly, but when she was dying, she was most relieved of Zhu Houzhao.

Trembling and stroking Zhu Houzhao's face, Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly smiled, smiling so kindly:

"If there is an afterlife, I hope that Zhao'er will not be the emperor anymore, the emperor's road is too hard, it is good to be an ordinary young man."

Zhu Houzhao wanted to speak and stopped, but he had no face to speak, he asked himself in his life to be worthy of anyone, but he was ashamed of two women.

one, as early as thousands of years ago, let him use it cleanly and sacrifice for his hegemony; And the other is his mother, Empress Dowager Zhang.

"My mother knows that you have infinite ambitions, but sometimes it is a relief to let others and yourself go."

Empress Dowager Zhang did not warn Zhu Houzhao about anything, because Zhu Houzhao did not need others to teach him to do things, and Empress Dowager Zhang just hoped that Zhu Houzhao could live an easier life.

Since ascending to that position, Zhu Houzhao has never been really happy, fighting with the ministers, intriguing with the emperors of various dynasties, and carrying the calculations of several powerful people.

Empress Dowager Zhang could see that Zhu Houzhao was very tired and tired.

Maybe Zhu Houzhao has foreseen his fate, but he is the emperor, and he is the proud and domineering Emperor Taiwu of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Houzhao, even if the road ahead is difficult, he must persist in going.

"Son remembered!"

Zhu Houzhao's face was gloomy, he also wanted to live an easier life, but the situation did not allow it!

Life is never something you can choose how you want to do it.

The Buddha has a saying: Since stepping on the road of life and death, Nirvana is empty.

But he can't even be reborn in Nirvana, and he can't have the chance to do it all over again.
