Empress Zhao was a little anxious waiting in the main hall.During the breakfast time, a maid from the Prince's Palace came over, saying that His Highness wanted to come to pay his respects to the Empress after breakfast, and if there were any other nobles who wanted to come, they could avoid it first.

The queen was very pleased to hear that, her brows relaxed and her appetite improved.Since the prince was almost harmed by the poisonous water, he has been closed to the palace, except for a young master from the imperial hospital, the rest of the people have not been seen, and the guards have been allocated more staff and become more stringent.The calamity was caused by the negligence of the Grand Duke Guo Fu in charge, so naturally he should follow up, and was sent back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation early.

And the prince in charge personally found the grand duke who played the bell and drums, and was actually Chen Baishuang, the former palm print eunuch.Empress Zhao didn't know what kind of person this person was, so she asked her father-in-law to go and find out. In the past few days, she felt more at ease knowing that she was a person who would not harm her master.It's just that after such a disaster happened and she loved her son so much, Empress Zhao wanted to go to the Prince's Hall to see the baby's illness in person.This matter was actually caused by herself, she was willing to stop a thousand kinds of illnesses for Qi Mo, and she never thought of letting the prince vent his anger on Wang Guofu.

So when Qi Mo entered the main hall to pay his respects, he saw that his mother had already lost a little weight compared to a month ago.

"The child pays respects to the empress, please greet the empress." Qi Mo couldn't bear to see the empress hurt, so he stepped forward to pay respects.

"Come here, let the queen mother take a good look at it." Regardless of the etiquette, Empress Zhao came down from the hall and embraced the prince, looked at it carefully from head to toe, and asked: "Is there any discomfort on the body? The poison can be Have you gone all the way? The queen mother wanted to visit you a long time ago, if the little master in the imperial hospital is not skilled enough, I might as well replace you with an imperial doctor."

"This mother is too worried. My son thinks that the young master is quite safe, and he is not a big deal. I still want to promote him someday. This poison is fierce and cunning. If there is no such person, the child will be afraid." Today I will not be able to pay my respects to my mother." The crown prince raised his eyebrows, looked at the queen, and said: "I am afraid that in the future we will not be able to pay my respects to my mother."

"This... is this poison so dangerous?" Empress Zhao felt uneasy for a while, she was always dignified and couldn't help being surprised at this moment, "Your father only said that dirty things had entered the Prince's Palace, but didn't go into details. Let the empress Do you understand what happened?"

The crown prince looked around the hall, all the servant girls looked away for recognition, and Qi Mo didn't speak until the hall was empty, with a calm and breezy look on his face. "Prince Hall and other places can be sent with harmful things. Father naturally doesn't want too many people to know, so as not to lose the reputation of strict guards. It's just that the mother doesn't know, the poison almost made the child dumb. After being poisoned, the stinging pain was unbearable, as if the tongue was placed on the chopping board, thousands of cuts were cut out, but everything that had an entrance was like salt in the mouth. The worst thing was that I couldn’t open my mouth. It was really hard for a child to speak. Say."

"What!" Rao knew that there was something harmful in the water, Empress Zhao choked, and then asked after a pause, "What kind of poison is this? It hurt my child! How, how could it be so dangerous..."

Qi Mo looked at his mother quietly, secretly unhappy, and didn't intend to play around anymore, sighed and said: "I can't ask Erchen, and I also want to know, obviously the fourth brother can recover from diarrhea in a few days after persuasion. Now that the matter is over, how could it be that my fifth younger brother is almost unable to step into the place where the government is discussed?"

As soon as the words came out, Empress Zhao suddenly raised her eyes, and lost her mind for a moment, her face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out.For the first time, those almond eyes that always contained the feeling of loving a child didn't dare to look at his own child, it was more like he was ashamed of the prince and dared not look at him.

As a queen, there are a total of [-] hairpins of Liuzhu Lily, Jin Buyao and Bainiao Chaofeng Guiyi on the hair bun, making the black and green hair bun look like a fairy bird in the clouds, which is extremely eye-catching.It's just that Qi Mo often looks at the queen mother's slender neck in a daze, for fear that it will be overwhelmed by the gold, silver, pearls and emeralds in the deep palace.

What kind of woman should this be?Qi Mo has been thinking a lot lately.The queen mother was outstanding in the Grand Master's Mansion since she was a child, and died of illness early in the previous life, so Qi Mo didn't have a deep impression of the queen mother.He just vaguely remembers his mother's pure kindness and her dignified Fengyi, who is worthy of being the mother of the Jokhang Dynasty.

But after going through this time, he really couldn't figure out what the queen mother was thinking. Thinking about it, this should be a very simple woman, but when he thought about it again, he broke into a cold sweat, what an extraordinary woman this must be!

Even though Concubine Wu is already the half-master of the East Palace who is in charge of Fengyin, the majesty of his mother is still like a towering mountain, firmly pressing down on people who have moved their thoughts that shouldn't be there.Even if Qi Mo could no longer be partial to his father and emperor, he was still firmly on top of his brothers as a prince.Judging from these, if his mother was really a pure and kind woman, the harem would have already been turned upside down, and the East Palace was only waiting for a great change.

The queen mother is like the clear water flowing in the harem, seemingly crystal clear and harmless, but actually permeated extremely deeply, otherwise the prince would not be able to live to adulthood.It's just how could such a woman be easily coaxed by the fourth brother?This is the key point that Qi Mo wants to ask the most.

"You...but have you met that child Qi Rong?" When Empress Zhao turned her face back, the bewildered expression disappeared, and she was still the empress who could hold back the battle.It's just that there are tears hanging on the pale face, which is very inconsistent with the slightly raised corners of the mouth, and the tearful almond eyes in the smile reveal a secretly sad tenacity.

Even Xiao Fuzi stayed in the outer hall, and there was no one around, Qi Mo didn't want to hide it, and said bluntly: "I have seen it. Fourth brother also said that the queen made a single word for him, I am afraid he will make the queen feel cold."

"It will be seventeen years after the Great Cold this year." Empress Zhao looked up at nowhere, and muttered to herself, "It's been 17 years, and I, as a mother, haven't seen that child yet. What about his appearance. I always remember that he is still a baby in his swaddling arms, but it’s been 17 years.”

What!The queen mother has never seen the fourth brother again!It is expected that Qi Mo was prepared for it, but he was in a trance for a moment.According to what the fourth brother said, since the queen mother often exchanged letters with him, and presumably they got very close, why did she never visit the fourth brother in 17 years?Could it be... Could it be that he and his mother only had a few letters in letters, and he never knew what the person who wrote them to him looked like?

"I have seen the child when I returned to the Grand Master's Mansion. I am afraid that the fourth brother is no longer the helpless baby who was waiting to be fed. He has grown up and has more thoughts. He has also learned to lie to his mother and plot against his fifth brother." Qi Mo said. Touching the back of his hand, his face was ashen, and his voice seemed to be filtered through cold water.The thin blood scab on the wound on the hand has formed, but this scar is destined to remain.

"Your fourth brother must hate me in your heart." Empress Zhao's face was like a layer of frost, but even so she still refused to cry, her eyes were bright.

"Fourth brother, he... Huh, I'm afraid he hates me even more." The crown prince thought of his mother's last life, so he walked a few steps closer and asked softly: "Didn't the child come here today to question the mother?" , I just want to live once in vain, and fight for myself. Please also ask my mother to feel sorry for me, and tell me, how did the fourth brother fall like this? Could it be that the mother threw it down with one hand? "

"Don't lie to the queen mother, the child hates me after all. Yes, if he told you anything, it is true. It is true that I abandoned the child with my own hands and threw it into the cold pool from Xingzhai Middle. If it wasn’t for knowing that Wang Guofu was familiar with water since he was a child, and he gave him a wink in a hurry, your fourth brother would have become a dead soul that day.” Empress Zhao suppressed the great pain in her heart, her face changed slightly, and she smiled wryly under such a situation , but it made people see the heart-piercing remorse, "Do you know the reason why the queen mother insisted on ordering the emperor to make me queen?"

Qi Mo replied: "It must be for the disciples of Taishi Zhao who is in the court, so as to contain the Wuxiang family."

Empress Zhao nodded and said, "The rise of the Wuxiang family is unstoppable. It is said that the women in the deep palace have inexhaustible glory and wealth. If one day they give birth to a dragon son, they will be able to promote the mother's family. In fact, how can we be so good?" When the emperor made great use of the Wu family, the empress dowager chose women from the Taishi family to enter the palace. Therefore, even if the eldest prince was born early, only my child, and only my child can be the crown prince."

"Since childhood, there have been rumors spread by palace people, saying that the empress was vicious and killed one of the princes with her own hands, because there can only be one prince, and one life can be exchanged for another." Qi Mo said indifferently, of course he didn't believe this. I just want to listen to my mother's words again, but the tone does not leave room for discussion.

"The tiger's poison doesn't eat its eggs. It's hard to hear. Let's see people's hearts." Empress Zhao wiped the corner of her lower lip lightly with a handkerchief.

"Then why is the queen mother?"

"The theory of celestial phenomenon, can you believe it?" Empress Zhao suddenly turned around, and only after this turning around did people see that the palm of her hand had already been pierced by the gold end of the armor, and blood dripped out from between her fingers, as if on her head. The swaying crimson Bu Yao finally froze for a moment, exuding a softness.

Qi Mo seldom believes in celestial phenomena, and Qin Tianjian has always been a lucrative idle job. In his opinion, this idle job is nothing more than planning the seasons and solar terms, and calculating from various signs whether there is plenty of rain or no water in the year, so as to rely on farming. The people who live have a provision for food.It's just that this idle job can harm people?Really strange.

"Boy... half-believing." He replied, not to talk too much about everything.

When mentioning Qin Tianjian, Empress Zhao lowered her head, showing a few strands of grief, and said: "My mother didn't believe it before until that day. The prince will go to the star-gazing studio when he is full moon, and then the people of Qin Tianjian will watch it at night." You can only see the secret of the astrology. On that day, your two brothers will be full moon, and I, as a queen, gave birth to a son for the emperor. Surrounded by concubines, I went to the star-gazing room with my two children in my arms. You and your compatriot Qi Rong landed on the ground, he was a little faster, and he was born a healthy prince. But you are relatively thin, and you don’t even cry loudly. The mother’s time with you two is only one month, I often wake up in the middle of the night to turn over your little mattress, afraid that you will stop crying, and that you will not have the strength to turn over."

Looking at the slightly bowed figure of the queen mother, Qi Mo couldn't help feeling heartbroken, as if seeing the new mother queen lingering in the beds of the two children at night.And such a good day, Queen Zhao only enjoyed it for a month.

"When the auspicious time came, your royal father also came from the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Although he said that he was not sincere with me, he relied on my mother's family. Just as the envoy of Qin Tianjian told the Holy Majesty that it was cold and windy today, At the moment when the lead cloud hangs down, can another auspicious day be chosen, the wind blows away the corner of Ziwei Xing, tearing Tiansheng apart, as if it has read through fate."

"Is there something ominous?" Qi Mo asked anxiously, also wanting to know how his fate collided with Ziweixing.

Empress Zhao frowned, she really didn't want to mention the great pain in her heart, and said word by word: "The heavenly wolf shines brightly, the moon is too small and constant. Scatter the star energy, and the double dragon plays with the pearl."

The author has something to say:

Prince: Douzi, can you write it faster, so that Xiao Fuzi can grow up quickly, so I can hug him and hold him high!

Me: I'm afraid you want to do something else?Now you can also hug and hold high.

Prince: You are the only one with a mouth, you can talk all day long!
