"You all go down! I want to accompany my mother."

Hongji said to the people serving his mother.

Yunshan went to replace Hongye, so he had time to visit his mother.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

In a moment, all the servants in the bedroom left, and the last ones to go out were Grandma Sun and Lanzhi.

"You guys stay at the door and don't be disturbed."

"Yes!"

After the bedroom returned to silence, Hongji called out tentatively:

"Mother, my son is here to see you."

Ripple then opened her eyes and showed a faint smile to Hongji.

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

"Mother, how is your health?"

"Don't worry, my mother's body is fine. She just doesn't want to go to your father's wake, so I don't have to worry about my old bones."

Ripple said casually.

Hongji was a little helpless. He had discovered a long time ago that his mother was different from the other 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. Except for those from the maternal clan, Support, and more importantly, the queen mother can grasp the father's thoughts.

But just when his mother's family handed over military power, his father's body collapsed. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that there was something fishy in it. He believed that he was not the only one who had suspicions and that several other courtiers also had suspicions, but there was no evidence and nothing could be found. .

At this time, Hongji had ten thousand questions in his mind, but he didn't know where to start, but Lianyi was more straightforward. She said calmly:

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

"My son knows, but"

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

"Ok!"

"Since you asked about it today, the queen mother will give you an explanation so that you can know what's going on."

Lianyi then narrated the whole story. Of course, she did not say that she was a substitute bride. She only talked about the reason why the late emperor granted the marriage, the difficulty of marrying into the imperial city, and the strife in the harem. , the dangers of giving birth to the three of them, the fact that they almost died several times.

As for the things that prevented the emperor from having a baby, she simply admitted:

“Since I gave birth to you, I will not allow anyone to shake your status.

I am also a woman, so I will not exert force on the women in the harem. After all, they have to shoulder the mission of the family when they enter the palace. They cannot help themselves, and the emperor chooses them to enter the palace in order to balance the forces of all parties.

So I will solve this problem from the source. If your father has no fertility, there will be no more children in the harem, and the three of you will be precious. If he does not want the Jiang family to fall by the wayside, he will naturally protect you.

I originally thought that when you were eighteen years old, your father would make you the prince, and you would naturally inherit the throne in the future. Unfortunately, your father was not satisfied and wanted to weaken the power of the Meng family. He wanted to restrain me, and he also wanted to You and Hongye are playing tricks on each other, which I won't allow.

The child I raised is not a tool for him to play with imperial power. If he dares to reach out to you three, I will pay for it with his life. "

Hongji felt really shocked after hearing Lianyi's words. He didn't expect that his mother was the real boss behind the scenes. Since she married her father, she was destined not to let the emperor die.

"Mother, you have devoted all your efforts to planning for your son. It is a great blessing for him. I will leave the rest to my son."

"Mother believes in your abilities. Just go ahead and do it. If anything happens, your mother will take care of you."

"Yes!"

Hongji said with bright eyes.

"Catch the Dark Dragon Guards in your father's hands as soon as possible. They can protect you. The deputy general in the suburban camp is the person arranged by your grandfather. If the imperial city is not stable, you can send people to mobilize troops. The Imperial City, this is a token.”

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

"Mother, my son wanted to send people overnight to mobilize troops into the city. Now that the news of your serious illness has spread, some people's thoughts have become vivid again."

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

"You figure it out yourself, just in time to let those monsters and monsters jump out, so that they don't come out to act like monsters again when you ascend the throne.

In addition, you have to be careful about one person, your Uncle Sanhuang. He is still alive. This is the time for him to attack. "Lianyi reminded.

"My son took note of it."

"Okay, go get some sleep, don't drag yourself down for a dead man."

"Yes, mother."

After hearing this, Hongji's mouth twitched and he responded helplessly.

This dead man was his father. He even doubted whether his three siblings were the descendants of Emperor Qingxiang, but he didn't dare to ask because he was afraid of getting another shocking melon.

At this time, the third prince, who was dormant, received the news that his good brother was dead from the people who stayed in the imperial city. His expression changed again and again, and he decided to give it a try. He immediately summoned people to rush back to the imperial city. .

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

When Mrs. Meng entered the palace with her second daughter-in-law, she glanced around and didn't find her nominal daughter. So while wiping her tears, she asked the wife of the Minister of War next to her:

"How come you haven't seen the Queen?"

"The Queen fainted after the Emperor left. She was carried back to Fengqi Palace. It looks like she is not well!"

The wife of the Minister of War said in a low voice.

After hearing this, Mrs. Meng's lips curled up slightly, and she felt immediately relieved. However, because the occasion was not right, she immediately covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

Lianyi was drinking medicine under the care of Grandma Sun. When he heard that Mrs. Meng had arrived, he said to Grandma Sun:

"You arrange for Meng's mother to be invited to the side hall to rest. Don't hurt your body. Talk to her. I don't need to explain the situation here clearly."

"Yes, madam!"

Grandma Sun also wanted to meet her old master, and she would make arrangements after the empress was settled.

Mrs. Meng's eyes lit up when she saw Nanny Sun. Then she was invited to the back of the palace by the palace maid, and she couldn't wait to ask:

"Is she dying?"

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

A potted crabapple in the side hall suddenly shook, and a crabapple flower fell. It seemed that it was blown by the wind, and then it returned to calm.

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

Mrs. Meng said displeasedly.

"Madam, the Queen is ill and is recuperating. Please be careful what you say!"

Grandma Sun lowered her eyes and said.

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

"Meow!"

The rest of the words were interrupted by a meow.

Xuanfeng squatted next to the pot of crabapple flowers, looking at Mrs. Meng with a pair of cat's eyes somewhat unkindly.

Grandma Sun was also shocked. She knew how powerful this black cat was, spiritual and ferocious, so she couldn't say anything to comfort her.

"Where did the black cat come from? It's so unlucky!"

Mrs. Meng covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said.

"Madam, this is the Queen's mother-in-law's. When the Sun Palace changed, the whirlwind protector was very effective and has always been with the Queen's mother. This cat is quite spiritual."
