happy event

Chapter 370
After the empress dowager finished dealing with the emperor's affairs and returned to her bedroom, Nanny He wanted to help the empress dowager back to the bed and lie down. She was afraid that the empress dowager and Concubine Bo would have a quarrel and her body would not be able to bear it.

The empress dowager said it was okay, and asked Madam He to leave first with all the maids, and she wanted to walk alone in the back garden of the bedroom.

Nanny He didn't want to let the empress dowager go alone, for fear that something would happen to her, but seeing the resolute eyes of the empress dowager, she understood that there was something wrong with her, so she had no choice but to agree.

The ladies of the court all left, and the empress dowager walked through the corridor, bypassed the rockery, and came to a pavilion.

This pavilion is very special. There are climbing vines covering the pavilion, and many small white beige flowers bloom on the vines, which decorate this simple cypress pavilion very elegantly.The empress dowager looked at the pavilion with a smile on her lips.

As he got closer, he finally saw the man's back.

However, that figure is a little different from when I was a child.

When he was a child, he would sit here, staring wide-eyed, looking at the flowers on the pavilion curiously, and couldn't figure out why they bloomed all year round and seemed to never fade.At this moment, he just stood coldly in the pavilion with his back to the empress dowager.His figure was so thin and cold, which made the empress dowager feel distressed.

The empress dowager walked slowly into the pavilion.

Hearing the movement behind him, the man quickly turned around, saw that it was the Empress Dowager, and hurried forward to help her.

"Empress Dowager, are you here?"

Seeing the figure of the Empress Dowager, Murong Hao's eyes shone a little.

The Empress Dowager's bones are indeed not well, but with Murong Hao's support, she can still walk.Finally came to sit down in the pavilion, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Is the fragrance in this pavilion always so elegant and fragrant?"

Murong Hao nodded obediently and slightly embarrassed like a child, "Yes."

The empress dowager looked around the pavilion, looking out from the inside, she could only see some hanging vines and small flowers on the vines, which was a different view from the outside of the pavilion.

"When you were young, you always asked Aijia, why the flowers here bloom all year round, and it seems that they never get tired." When the Empress Dowager remembered Murong Hao's innocent appearance when he was a child, his face was filled with a natural sense of happiness , as if Murong Hao was not someone else's child, but her empress dowager's own flesh and blood.

In fact, to the empress dowager, it doesn't matter whether Murong Hao is her own, what matters is that he and she are in good health.

Murong Hao followed the Empress Dowager's eyes to look at the pavilion, "Yes, my son still can't figure out this problem, the flowers in other places only bloom twice a year at most, only the small flowers in this pavilion bloom every year. Blooming in all seasons, never seem to get tired, and never tire of this blooming feeling."

The Empress Dowager withdrew her gaze and looked at Murong Hao with a sad face, "It's not that you can't figure it out, it's that you don't want to know the answer. You are the current emperor, and after a decree, countless folk experts will come to answer your doubts, but you I didn't do that, I just wanted to keep this mystery. This is why you asked Aijia many times, but Aijia didn't tell you."

"Then why...you want to tell Erchen now?" Murong Hao's eyes were filled with tears, it turned out that the woman beside him who was getting weaker and weaker had been protecting his little Nian Xiang.

The empress dowager looked at the withered vines under the flowers, "One day, I will gradually lose my vitality like these vines. But the Ai family is not as lucky as the vines. Even if they are corrupt and dry, they can still survive for many years."

When Murong Hao saw that the Empress Dowager's eyes were filled with tears, his heart also ached.

The Empress Dowager continued: "I have some things, I can tell you as much as I can, I'm afraid... I won't have the chance to tell you again."

Before the words fell, tears rolled down his cheeks.

Murong Hao took the Empress Dowager's hand, "No, I will definitely let the best doctor in the world treat you."

The empress dowager's face was still filled with a happy smile, but she couldn't help but shed tears. She shook her head slightly, "Aijia understands her own body. Hao'er, don't focus on these trivial things. Now, the most important thing now is to protect Daqi Jiangshan."

"The empress dowager's health is not a trivial matter." Murong Hao insisted. When he saw the empress dowager's weak body, he blamed himself in his heart. He was busy with government affairs a few days ago. The imperial physician went to see the empress dowager, but he himself did not see the empress dowager himself, and he did not know that she was so ill.

The empress dowager was very firm, "Compared to Daqi's country, Aijia's old bones are really nothing. Haoer, Aijia knows that sometimes you are in trouble. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't have come here Come here to steal for a while. A wise monarch will be troubled and at a loss, but he should be able to handle the affairs of his family and country well. He must also handle it well, otherwise the world will be in chaos and people will be panicked. The consequences are hard for all of us to bear."

The empress dowager's words touched Murong Hao's heart. He knew that he was the Emperor of Daqi, and his troubles were always everywhere, but he also knew that he couldn't slack off at all. Kongzi, it's not only Murong Hao who is unlucky, but also the people of Daqi.

"I will, thanks to the empress dowager for teaching." Murong Hao is sincerely grateful to the empress dowager, although the empress dowager is not his biological mother, but in Murong Hao's view, the empress dowager is closer than his biological mother.When he was a child, he came to the empress dowager's bedroom by mistake, and he also came to this pavilion by mistake.If the empress dowager is a scheming woman, she can take the opportunity of getting close to Murong Hao to kill Murong Hao and cut off Dowager Bo's thoughts.But not only did she not do this, but she always resolved Murong Hao's boredom and talked with Murong Hao like a mother, more like a big sister.

The empress dowager smiled, "You're serious again. Every time you thank me seriously, I feel dumbfounded. Didn't I do you any favors? Are you so serious?"

Seeing the Empress Dowager smiling brightly, Murong Hao also laughed.

"Are you worried about the Maitreya Sect this time?" The Empress Dowager didn't intend to go around in circles anymore.

Murong Hao nodded, "The people of the Maitreya Sect are really too much, they do all kinds of crimes, such as burning, killing and looting, but as long as the ministers let people investigate the matters related to the Maitreya Sect, someone will intervene. It’s all innocuous stuff, too.”

The Empress Dowager sighed slightly, it seemed that the origin of the Maitreya Sect was not too different from what she expected, "I'm embarrassing you."

Murong Hao frowned, his face was full of anxiety, "Empress Dowager, what should I do to really solve this problem?"

For a long time, Murong Hao was most afraid of hearing anything about Maitreya Sect. Even in his dreams, when someone said those three words, he would wake up from the dream.

The empress dowager stared at Murong Hao's eyes, to be honest, she had never seen Murong Hao's eyes so dark before.

"Did you know something?" The empress dowager worried that there was something hidden behind the Maitreya religion.

Murong Hao didn't know where to start, "I..."

"You don't need to elaborate, Hao'er, Aijia is a dying person. There is a saying that people who are dying are good in their words. Aijia has been looking forward to your well-being since you were young. You have grown up, Aijia I hope you are well. If the people of Maitreya are good people, they will not cause trouble to Daqi, let alone do things that are harmful to nature, burning, killing and looting. Since they did that, no one framed them or wronged them , it shows that they are tricky. Regarding such a force, what should Haoer think?"

"kill!"

After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Murong Hao suddenly understood.

The Empress Dowager patted Murong Hao's hand, hoping to give him some warmth. Why is there murderous look in this child's eyes?What was it that made him so lost?
Now that this has been said, the empress dowager intends to explain everything she wants to say to Murong Hao, even if she dies, she can die with peace of mind.The Empress Dowager said again: "Take a step back, even if the Maitreya Sect has no other plans, it seems that there is no threat to Daqi's country for the time being. However, one day, their power will grow stronger, and they will want to make trouble What noise. Hao'er, after reading so many history books, you should understand that a power like the Maitreya Sect is of no benefit to the imperial court."

Murong Hao nodded, "Empress Dowager, I understand what to do."

The Empress Dowager nodded, and suddenly a figure flashed in her mind, saying: "How is Bo Taifei coming in? The Ai family saw her complexion not very well earlier."

"do not know."

In front of the Empress Dowager, Murong Hao didn't have the majesty he pretended to be in front of the ministers, nor did he have the deliberate obedience in front of the Concubine Bo. Instead, he was like a child who was irritated by someone, and had his own childish temper.

The empress dowager said: "Your mother and concubine are impulsive, but Hao'er, you have to remember that if there is no her, there will be no you. No matter what, don't hurt her life. I can watch you slowly master it." Real power, out of the control of others, the Ai family is very pleased."

Seeing the empress dowager explaining Murong Hao as if she was giving her last words, Murong Hao's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

The Empress Dowager patted the back of Murong Hao's hand, "If you have enough rest, go back to the palace, the father-in-law and maids in your palace are all frightened."

Murong Hao nodded.

Seeing Murong Hao's leaving back, the Empress Dowager smiled gratifiedly, but she didn't know that Murong Hao's heart hurt so badly because of her, and tears fell because of her.

If possible, how much Murong Hao wished that his mother and concubine were the Empress Dowager, not the harsh, unreasonable, unreasonable and unforgiving Concubine Bo.

As soon as Murong Hao returned to the bedroom, he saw the frustrated and frightened expressions of the father-in-law and the maids, so he understood what the empress dowager meant by 'the father-in-law and the maids in your palace are all frightened'.

Hearing that Murong Hao had returned to the palace, Concubine Bo rushed over immediately.

As soon as Murong Hao saw Concubine Bo's figure, he felt a headache, more of a chill.

Concubine Bo had a smile on her face, a guilty smile, "Hao'er, have you returned to the palace?"
