Bestow glory to the king

Chapter 427 Entering the Palace for an Audience (12)
For some reason, Tianhedi wanted to talk to this child about his mother right now, that bright and affectionate woman, that woman who had been haunting him in his dreams. At that time, her father was The prime minister, the prince and the grand teacher, he would often go to the prime minister's mansion, and when he saw her, he would miss his life.

Shen Xiluozi's hand seemed to have paused, but he didn't react too much. He just nodded lightly and said calmly:

"I know."

Tianhedi was stunned, looked up at Shen Xi, as if recalling what the child said earlier, then turned his gaze to the chessboard, and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone:
"You, you know?"

Shen Xi nodded: "Yes, I know, my mother told me before she died."

The chess piece that was originally held by Emperor Tianhe's fingertips suddenly fell off, rolled to the ground, and two young eunuchs rushed up from both sides, picked up the jade chess piece on the ground, held it in their palms, and knelt down to Tianhe. God sent it up.

Emperor Tianhe took the chess pieces, and then he settled down, waved his hand casually, Li Mao understood, and removed all the eunuchs and maids in the Nuan Pavilion, while he himself stood guard outside the Yuanyang Hall, not allowing anyone to approach disturb.

Seeing his action, Shen Xi was also puzzled. He looked up at him, but didn't make a sound. After the two made two more sons, Tianhedi seemed to muster up his courage, and asked Shen Xi:

"Before she died... was she in pain?"

Shen Xi originally focused all his attention on the question Tianhedi would ask next. He originally thought that after he said that sentence, Tianhedi would immediately ask him how much his mother told him before she died. But I didn't expect that this question came up. For the second time today, Shen Xi raised his head to look at the man in front of him, and felt that the grief in his eyes was not fake. What's more, with his status, there was no need to fake this kind of thing. , but if it wasn't a lie, then his feelings for his mother might not be as shallow as he imagined. Thinking of this, Shen Xi felt mixed feelings in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head lightly and said:

"It's not painful."

The death of her mother was a relief to her, not a pain.In Shen Xi's mind, she recalled her mother's skinny hands and face as dry as bark before she died. She clearly remembered that when she was a child, she was plump and beautiful, but the good times didn't last long, and that beauty disappeared forever in her life.

He saw that the man in front of him was nostalgic for his mother, so he didn't dare to say many things, because he was afraid that if he said it, his current nostalgia would turn into disgust. His mother is definitely not a woman who can make a man miss him for so many years , Maybe she used to be very good, but that was all in the past. Ever since he became sensible, his mother has become very abnormal.

And all of that was caused by Shen Ye.

Shen Xi thought, the emperor in front of him must have never seen his mother go crazy, otherwise, he would no longer remember her beauty, and would definitely hate her deeply, so there are some things he really can't say.

After hearing Shen Xi's words, Emperor Tianhe nodded in relief, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked Shen Xi:

"Then what does she have to say, let you tell me?"

Since she told this child something before she died, can he hope in his own heart, in fact, she is not that ruthless to him, if she is not ruthless, she will use this child's mouth to say something to him ?

It's a pity that Shen Xi's words blew away those unrealistic expectations in Tianhedi's heart.

"No."

Shen Xi glanced again, eyes clearly showing disappointment, he looked away, and focused all his attention on the chessboard.
