Chen Changsheng didn't tell Yan Ruchu the truth in the end.

In his opinion, as an emperor, maybe he shouldn't be entangled in these 'cumbersome' things, no matter why he sat in that position, as long as he sat now, then the reason didn't matter.

And sometimes, knowing isn't necessarily a good thing.

Think about it or let these elusive truths fade away with the years.

No one knows, no one knows, it's best.

Chen Changsheng, who had left the Shangjing Imperial Palace, breathed a sigh of relief, and he glanced back at the towering palace gate.

After staring at him for a long time, he turned around and walked towards the outside of Shangjing City.

Probably thought of something.

Chen Changsheng, who wanted to leave, looked in another direction.

It's been a long time.

What you see is still guarded layer by layer, and you can still see that the security is heavy along the way.

It is also an imperial mausoleum.

But here, it is only a one-person imperial mausoleum, enshrined in a Taizu.

The door to the Imperial Tomb has been sealed.

When Chen Changsheng arrived, the imperial mausoleum here was vaguely visible, and the weeds almost completely covered the gate of the imperial mausoleum, and there was no dignity in sight.

As for why there are still guards here, it is probably because Yan Ruchu also admires this Xiang Taizu who swept the world.

Chen Changsheng didn't go in, just stood at the door and watched for a moment.

When it's almost dark.

But I heard a sound of squirming footsteps.

The person who came looked a little old, wearing the clothes of a palace maid, and his eyes were weathered, as if he had experienced a lot.

The old woman dressed as a palace maid carried the food box and put it down one by one in front of the imperial mausoleum.

Chen Changsheng thought it was an offering of food.

But what I can see is just a few green plums on the plate.

"Ome?"

Chen Changsheng muttered.

The old woman with the green plum was stunned for a moment, and when she looked back, she saw that there was no one behind her.

"Who?"

The old woman's voice was hoarse, and she stood up and looked around.

Chen Changsheng was stunned in his heart, and he raised his hand to untie the spell.

The old woman saw a gentleman in a green shirt suddenly appear in front of her.

She froze for a moment and took two steps back.

Chen Changsheng said: "Mother-in-law doesn't need to panic, Chen is not ill-intentioned, but he once had a relationship with Taizu, and when he passed by this time, he wanted to take a look." ”

The old woman's lips were slightly open, a little incredulous.

She was silent for a long time, as if to calm her mind.

After about half an hour, the old woman saw that the gentleman in the green shirt did not make any moves, and then slowly relieved herself.

She looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "The old body has never heard Taizu say that there is such an old man. ”

Chen Changsheng said: "If you want to come to Taizu, you don't want to mention Chen. ”

The old woman asked, "Why?" ”

Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's scared. ”

"He's afraid of you?"

"He's afraid of himself."

Chen Changsheng said, looked at the green plum on the plate, and said, "I'm afraid that he will want to pick up the missed things again." ”

The old woman followed his gaze to the plate of green plums.

She didn't quite understand what the man was saying.

There was some fear in her heart.

The old woman's voice was hoarse and asked, "Are you a god?" ”

Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "Chen is nothing. ”

The old woman was still puzzled.

She asked again, "Should the old body kneel to you?" ”

Maybe I think it's a sin to disrespect the gods.

Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "No need, besides, mother-in-law shouldn't kneel to anyone, and immortals are no exception." ”

The old woman opened her mouth, but she did not speak.

There was silence in front of the Imperial Tomb.

The wind blew in the night, and it was a little cold.

Chen Changsheng said: "Mother-in-law, let's change some things to worship in the future, it is enough for the green plum to have that one." ”

The old woman paused and asked, "Do you know what that green plum is?" ”

Chen Changsheng said: "It's not a good thing, it's just that a friend of Chen gave it to him at the foot of the mountain." ”

"That person, is that important to him?"

The old woman also asked seriously at this time, as if she wanted to understand the meaning of the green plum from these bits and pieces.

"It shouldn't be important."

The old woman was silent for a moment, and then muttered, "The old man doesn't quite understand what that green plum is, and when he leaves, he holds it in his hand and refuses to let go." ”

"Is that so......"

Chen Changsheng also understood why the old woman put these green plums.

After thinking about it, he said, "Taizu is a true great man. ”

The old woman said, "There are times when great men leave. ”

"Providence, perhaps."

Chen Changsheng said: "Mother-in-law also knows Taizu's temperament when she thinks about it, and she has the ability to win the world, but it is difficult to keep the world. ”

The old woman agreed with the gentleman in green shirts.

Taizu is not a benevolent monarch, before the westward expedition, Daxiang has been shaky, if not for the prince's benevolent administration eased a little, I don't know how big a mess will be, and then after the current emperor ascended the throne, the governance of the government is more orderly, which makes the world gradually stable.

Thinking of this, the old woman seemed reluctant to continue.

"Don't say it, I'm tired."

"Then I won't talk about it."

"Hmm."

There was silence again in front of the Imperial Mausoleum.

Chen Changsheng is far away from this former queen.

He seemed to be able to feel the lingering sorrow of this queen, the memory of history, and the grief of the death of his lover.

Chen Changsheng's gaze fell on the gate of the imperial tomb again.

He broke a branch from a nearby tree.

After stepping forward, cut off the weeds covering the gate of the imperial tomb one by one, and sweep them up, at least to make this place look decent.

The old woman looked at him and said, "You'd better stop, the one who doesn't allow anyone to clean this place." ”

After hearing this, Chen Changsheng turned around and said: "If he knows, you will tell him that Chen did it, and anyone can clean it up in the future, if he dares to say a word, you will ask him if his conscience has been eaten by dogs." ”

The old woman paused, then laughed.

"You can't scold like this, it's also the Son of Heaven."

"Just scolding."

The old woman thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Then I will listen to you." ”

Chen Changsheng removed the weeds in front of the imperial tomb one by one, and it became dark when he was busy.

The only thing he can do now is probably to give this Taizu some more decency.

At nightfall, the mountain stream became cold.

The old woman's legs and feet were inconvenient, so she could only watch Chen Changsheng sweep the weeds, she didn't leave, but waited for Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng finished cleaning, and then said, "Isn't my mother-in-law still leaving?" It's already dark. ”

The old woman said, "I'll leave in a while." ”

"Do you need Chen to send one? After nightfall, there will be some poisonous insects and beasts on the road of this mountain stream. ”

"The old body lives here."

"Is that so......"

Chen Changsheng didn't say anything more, raised his hand and said, "Chen should also go." ”

"Go ahead."

"Mother-in-law farewell."

"Hmm."

The old woman paused, but then said, "May I ask you something?" ”

"Mother-in-law asked."

“…… Is my son still alive? ”

"Yes."

"That's good......"

The old woman laughed, very kindly.

Facing the night, Chen Changsheng also left here.

The breeze from the mountain stream was a little warmer, and it seemed that he was worried that the old woman had caught a cold.

Very good.
