Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

She said to Pei Yuan: "Who are you?"

Then I remembered that there was another person behind me, and I glanced back. Pei Yuanzhang kept holding the oil lamp and stood behind me silently. He heard his mother's words and didn't answer, just stared at her blankly.

I looked back in amazement, and he was always at ease on any occasion, in front of anyone. This was the first time he was so embarrassed, even a little helpless, as if he had completely lost his response.

The mother just looked at him quietly, and did not mean to ask any more.

I said, "Mother, he, he is the emperor today."

"emperor……"

The mother was silent for a while and said, "Since it is an emperor, how can you come to the Sanjiang Dam in Xichuan?"

She really looks like a torch. Although she has not joined the WTO for decades, all the world conditions are so transparent in front of her.

I can't answer this question.

This time, Pei Yuanzhang took a step forward and said calmly, "The mountains and rivers are ruined and there is no home."

I glanced at him in amazement.

In fact, everyone knows this. Although he is the capital that he withdrew, once he withdraws, he loses. He lost his own Kyoto and throne. When he came here, his men still regarded him as emperor. But, in fact, he has lost his qualifications as emperor.

There was no way for him to say this sentence. No one could say it, but he did not expect that he would say it here in front of my mother.

"I don't know if a comeback will happen," said his mother.

Pei Yuanzhang took a step closer: "I hope you can give pointers."

The mother looked at his eyes, and then said calmly: "Look at your eyes, you are very firm. There is no perplexity in front of your eyes. You know what to do from beginning to end. Other people can only affect you and cannot change you. So I don't point you at it. "

Pei Yuanzhang hesitated and said, "But what I'm doing now--"

"Everything is ready without dying."

"Thank you."

"Only one."

"Please advise."

"The extraordinary period is very means, but very wordy, unusual."

Pei Yuanzhang was silent for a while and bowed to her, "I understand."

I stood next to me and thought that the conversation between the two of them was a bit inexplicable, but in fact it was not inexplicable. After going through so much and exploring so much, I knew more or less what Pei Yuanzhang wanted to ask, and probably understood that his mother would explain to him What, I just feel weird is that the two of them have never seen each other, but at this moment they seem to be familiar with each other. In a word, a look, as if they can fully understand what the other party is thinking.

I frowned slightly.

It was her mother. When she heard Pei Yuanzhang's neat words, her eyes flickered slightly. She raised her head again, looked at him up and down with the light in Pei Yuanzhang's hand, and said, "You It's Pei Ji's son. "

Pei Yuanzhang took a deep breath and leaned down to salute her.

Mother tilted her head and looked at him and said, "You don't look very much like your father."

"..."

"He's kind."

"..."

"you do not."

These words, there are few people in the world who dare to speak in front of Pei Yuanzhang, but she said so lightly, and Pei Yuanzhang did not have the slightest contradiction, but after a moment of silence, she said softly: "The emperor The test has said several times that the son is not a father. "

"he already……"

"Yes, Huang Kao has become a godsend."

"..."

The mother was silent.

I couldn't help but glance at Pei Yuanzhang-I don't know how much he knew about his mother and his father, or how much Pei Ji told him, but I know very well that even between them The original feelings were worn away by the years, but there was still friendship.

However, there was not much pain and sorrow on the mother's face.

After a while, she sighed softly.

"he's gone."

"..."

"he's gone……"

This sentence, she said very lightly, it seems that under the grinding of time, all feelings and emotions will inevitably slowly dissipate, but some things are buried in the memory, which cannot be seen or shared by others. .

After saying this, she looked up at Pei Yuanzhang again, looked at it for a while, and then said, "You are not like your father, but you are like your mother."

My heart fluttered.

Call the Queen of Martyrs?

I thought that this was the person who was unforgettable by Pei Yuanzhang, but also more difficult to mention, but did not expect to be mentioned by his mother at this time.

I don't know if his hand was trembling, or for some other reason. The fire flickered a little at this time. Pei Yuanzhang took a step forward and said dumbly, "You, who do you know who I am?"

I was also a little surprised. Judging from her mother's departure from Beijing and entering Xichuan, she has never seen Pei Yuanzhang or even knew him too much.

But how did she know who Pei Yuanzhang's mother was?

The emotions of Pei Yuanzhang and I were a little chaotic and anxious. Only she was still very calm under the swaying lights, and said, "You are so much like Xue Yi, you should be her son, of course."

Pei Yuanzhang looked at her with her eyes wide open: "You, have you met-my mother?"

A smile appeared on her mother's face, and she said, "Of course I have."

"..."

"At that time, I had just entered Shuland, and she was going to enter the palace, so we didn't get along for a long time. Although the time we spent together was short, the time was very pleasant."

"..."

"I'm a rare confidant. She's one."

Pei Yuanzhang listened to her lightly about her mother. I listened to it, and my heart was filled with emotion. I never thought that my mother would want to know the Empress Zhao Lie, and even each other As a confidant.

As soon as her mother's words fell, Pei Yuanzhang suddenly said, "After my mother, she gave a Biyue Scimitar to Huang Kao. From then on, Huang Kao loved her. That knife--"

Mother nodded and said, "I gave her the Biyue Scimitar."

Pei Yuanzhang took a breath of air.

And as I listened to it, I couldn't believe it.

The Biyue Scimitar was presented to Pei Ji by Pei Ji, and Pei Ji was then left to Pei Yuanzhang. He gave it to the Prince before rejecting the Battle of Ma River Valley.

No wonder at that time, I saw the pattern of the five-pronged golden dragon on the Biyue Scimitar.

I have also thought about who forged the knife and dared to use the five-claw golden dragon pattern that can only be used by the royal family. Now I understand that the mother is already the emperor, what she wears, and what she makes forged. Of course, those patterns can be used.

"Your mother is a very intelligent person."

The mother's low voice sounded again in this empty place, and I heard the reply faintly. Both of me and Pei Yuanzhang had the illusion of being in a dream. His eyes were more bewildered than just now, just looking at her, a sentence Can't say anything.

The mother said with a smile: "In fact, when we were together, we didn't talk much, but I knew what she wanted to do, and she also knew what I wanted to say."

At this time, Pei Yuanzhang slowly leaned down, almost kneeling in front of her.

"So, what will she do in the palace, do you know?"

The mother looked at him calmly and said, "I said, I understand what she wants to do."

"..."

I felt that Pei Yuanzhang was suddenly dumb.

It's not that I didn't speak, or that I didn't know what to say, but suddenly became dumb and lost the ability to speak. I could almost hear his throat rattle, as if there were thousands of words, but at this moment, every word said Not coming out.

Under the light, his eyes became red.

The mother looked at him for a while and said, "Your mother is a very gentle and kind lady. It is not accidental that she was registered as a queen. However, her temperament is strong, and such a person is naturally attractive as a group of fires."

"..."

"It hurts and hurts itself."

"..."

"Especially she is dust-free. When something comes to her please-"

With that said, my mother suddenly couldn't go on.

But Pei Yuanzhang's hand shook, and the lamp almost fell down. I was flustered in my heart, and raised my head subconsciously to ask her, "Mother, do you know the cause of the death of Queen Zhaolie?"

Pei Yuanzhang glanced at me.

Obviously, he didn't expect how much I would know about the queen of Martyrs.

Mother turned her head to look at me, her eyes shone with the swaying fire, and she blinked, "I don't know."

"..."

"But I might be able to guess."

"..."

"It's probably a huge secret that will cost her her life."

"..."

"Perhaps it is the secret that should not be known to anyone, but she was discovered by her, so--"

My face suddenly turned pale.

She said that Empress Zhaolie may have discovered a huge secret—is her death an accident or a deliberate—murder?

When I heard such a question, my mother said lightly, "This, I don't even know."

"..."

"Why do you even need to know? There are some things to ask, the facts that have happened. If you go to find the answer, it will only hurt others."

My heart fluttered, and then I came back to look at Pei Yuanzhang, whose eyes were red with bloodshot eyes.

I forgot that this was the hardest blow for him.

If the mother's guess is true, then there are two possibilities for the death of Queen Zhaolie.

The first possibility, as the mother said, is that she has a strong temperament. After discovering some unfortunate truths, she definitely ended her life, even disregarding the unborn fetus.

In the second possibility, she discovered some secrets that were unknown to outsiders, so she was murdered.

And those who can kill her--
