"Go down, all of you! I want to spend time with my mother."

Hongji said to the people who were waiting for the queen mother.

Yun Shan went to replace Hongye, so he had time to come and see the queen mother.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After a while, the people in the bedroom left, and the last to go out were Mama Sun and Laneige.

"Stay at the door, and don't let anyone disturb you."

"Yes!"

After the bedroom was quiet again, Hongji tentatively called out:

"Queen Mother, the sons have come to see you."

Ripple opened his eyes and smiled lightly at Hongji.

Seeing the rippled smile, the big stone in Hongji's heart finally moved away, and he lowered his voice and said:

"Mother, how is your health?"

"Don't worry, the queen mother's body is fine, but I don't want to go to your father's body to keep a vigil, so I put my old bones into it."

Ripple said casually.

Hongji was a little helpless, he had already discovered that his mother was different from the concubines in the harem, although she was not favored, her status was very stable, and everything she did was in line with his father's wishes, in addition to the support of his mother's family, more importantly, the queen mother could grasp his father's thoughts.

But at the moment when the queen mother's family handed over the military power, his father's body collapsed, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that there was something in it, he believed that not only he had suspicions, but several other courtiers also had suspicions, but there was no evidence, and he couldn't find it at all.

At this time, Hongji had 10,000 questions in his heart, but he didn't know where to start, and the ripples were much more straightforward, she said calmly:

"Dabao, my mother has paved the road for you, and the rest is up to you."

"The son knows, but..."

"You want to know if all these things were arranged by your mother?"

"Hmm!"

"Since you asked today, the queen mother will give you the truth, so that you can know in your heart."

Of course, she didn't say that she was a substitute for the bride, but only said the reason why the emperor gave her marriage, as well as the difficulty of marrying into the imperial city, as well as the turmoil in the harem, the danger when giving birth to the three of them, and the fact that she almost died in Huangquan several times.

As for the fact that the emperor couldn't give birth, she simply admitted:

"Since I have begotten you, I will not allow anyone to shake your position.

I am also a woman, so I will not work the women of the harem, after all, they also shoulder the mission of the family when they enter the palace, and they are involuntarily, and the emperor chose them to enter the palace in order to balance the forces of all parties.

So I'll solve this problem from the source, your father has no fertility, there will be no more children in the harem, and the three of you will be noble, if he doesn't want the Jiang family to fall aside, he will naturally protect you.

I originally thought that when you were eighteen years old, I would ask your father to crown you the crown prince, and inherit the throne in the future, but unfortunately your father was not satisfied, wanted to weaken the power of the Meng family, wanted to restrain me, and wanted to play with you and Hongye in the palm of his hand, which I did not allow.

The child I raised is not a tool for him to play with imperial power, and if he dares to reach out to the three of you, I will ask him to exchange his life for it."

Hongji listened to the ripples' words, his heart was really turbulent, he didn't expect that his mother was the real boss hidden behind the scenes, since she married her father, she was destined not to let the emperor die.

"Queen Mother, it is a great blessing for your son to do all your best to plan for your son, and the rest will be left to your son."

"Mother believes in your ability, you let it go, and if something happens, the queen mother will take care of you."

"Yes!"

Hongji said with sparkling eyes.

"Grab the dark dragon guard in your father's hands as soon as possible, they can protect you well, the deputy general of the camp in the suburbs is the person arranged by your grandfather, if the imperial city is unstable, you can send someone to transfer troops into the imperial city, this is a token."

Ripple handed a palm-sized green jade carved into a tiger to Hongji.

"Mother,

My son wants to send troops into the city overnight, and now that the news of your serious illness has come out, some people's minds have come alive again."

Hongji's eyes flashed, and he put away the token and whispered.

"You can do it yourself, just let those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods jump out, and when you ascend the throne, they will come out to be demons.

In addition, you have to be careful of one person, your Third Emperor Uncle, he is still alive, and this is the time for him to make trouble."

Ripple reminded.

"My son wrote it down."

"Alright, go sleep for a while, don't drag your body down for a dead man."

"Yes, Mother."

The corners of Hongji's mouth twitched after hearing this, and he replied helplessly.

This dead man was his father, and he doubted whether his brother and sister were the seed of Emperor Qingxiang, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear of getting another shocking melon.

At this time, the third prince, who was dormant, got the news of the death of his good brother from the people who stayed in the imperial city, his face changed again and again, and he decided to give it a go, and immediately gathered people, and he wanted to rush back to the imperial city.

And the family members of the Meng family, who had just entered the imperial city, immediately changed into mourning clothes when they entered the mansion of the Marquis of Anding, and then were arranged to enter the palace to mourn.

When Mrs. Meng entered the palace with her second daughter-in-law, she glanced around, and did not find her nominal daughter, so she wiped her tears and asked Mrs. Lang of the military department beside her:

"Why didn't you see the Queen?"

"The queen fainted after the emperor went and was carried back to Fengqi Palace, which didn't look very good!"

The wife of the soldier said in a low voice.

After Mrs. Meng heard this, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and her mood immediately became comfortable, but because the occasion was wrong, she immediately covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

Ripple was drinking medicine under the service of Mama Sun at this time, and when she heard that Mrs. Meng had arrived, she said to Mama Sun:

"You arranged for someone to send Meng... Mother, please go to the side hall to rest, don't hurt your body, talk to her, I don't need to explain the situation on my side too clearly."

"Yes, mother!"

Mama Sun also wanted to meet the old master, and when she settled down, she went to make arrangements.

After Mrs. Meng saw Grandma Sun, her eyes lit up, and then after being invited to the side hall by the palace maid, she couldn't wait to ask:

"She's dying?"

The question was a bit direct, and Grandma Sun was stunned for a moment.

A potted begonia in the side hall suddenly shook and a begonia flower fell, which seemed to be blown by the wind, and then regained its calm.

"I'm asking you, why don't you reply?"

Mrs. Meng said unhappily.

"Madam, the Queen Mother is sick and recuperating, you... Be careful!"

Mama Sun lowered her eyes and said.

"Humph! It's just an impostor taking my daughter's name..."

"Meow!"

The rest of the conversation was interrupted by a cat meow.

Whirlwind squatted next to the pot of begonia flowers, and looked at Mrs. Meng with a pair of cat's eyes.

Mama Sun was also shocked, but she knew that this black cat was powerful, and her spirituality was fierce, and she couldn't say anything more to consolation.

"Where did the black cat come from, how unlucky!"

Mrs. Meng said as she covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Madam, this is raised by the queen's mother, when the palace changes, the whirlwind protector has merit, and has always followed the mother's side, this cat is quite spiritual..."
