The queen mother's tent is not far from the king's tent, but now there is a lot of people on that end. All the courtiers and guards are gathered there, but there are only a few maids watching on this side. It is so quiet that even the wind can't hear the sound.

Can hear it.

When I walked over, the wind was blowing, and I just saw the green grass growing wildly on the valleys on both sides. With the continuous ups and downs of the wind, it was like waves of green hitting the top of the valley. I looked at that

I paused for a moment to see the scenery, and the little palace maids had already seen me, and hurriedly came over to salute me respectfully.

I just said a few words to them gently and walked to the door.

The people inside seemed to hear my footsteps and said: "Don't rush me, the things ordered by the Queen Mother will be ready soon."

I opened the curtain and walked in, and saw Aunt Gui tidying up something with her back to me. I just stood quietly behind her. At first she didn't seem to care much, but slowly she seemed to feel it.

What? He looked back at me and immediately seemed to be startled: "Scared, Mr. Yue-Yue?!"

I walked up with a smile: "Mother Gui."

"You, why are you here?"

"I heard that you are too busy here. Come and help me."

"Uh, no, no need."

As she spoke, she hurriedly packed together several of the Queen Mother's scriptures and some simple utensils, and was about to pick them up. I smiled slightly and said, "The Queen Mother has been taking care of the Emperor in the royal tent, and she doesn't even come here."

Come back and rest."

"Well, yes, yes."

"It's true that mother and son are connected."

When Aunt Gui heard this, her face became a little strange again, but she still smiled reluctantly and said: "Yes, mother and son are connected."

Somehow, it seemed that she was extra nervous when she saw me this time, and didn't even want to be alone in the room with me for too long. While talking, she had already walked to the door and was about to lift the curtain. I was already in front of her.

Behind him, he slowly said: "But who is the person who should really connect with the Queen Mother?"

Aunt Gui's hand suddenly froze there.

The wind blew loudly outside, but inside the tent it was so quiet that I couldn't even breathe.

After a while, she turned around stiffly and looked at me. Her whole body seemed to have been greatly shocked, and her face turned pale. She looked at me for a long time before speaking with some difficulty: "How could you - you, you

What did you say?"

"..."

"You, don't talk nonsense!"

"Don't worry, Nanny Gui." I walked up to her slowly and said, "I've asked all the people outside to go away. I came here today because I have something I want to ask Nanny Gui in person.

. Because I know that if you ask the Queen Mother about her, she will not necessarily not be able to tell you. It’s just that - I believe that every word she says is a knife in her heart."

When I said this, Aunt Gui showed a look of pain on her face.

I said softly: "So, let me ask Aunt Gui."

She looked at me, looking more and more flustered. She hurriedly walked to the table and put down the things, but she seemed to have spent a lot of energy, and she was a little out of breath: "I, I don't have anything to tell you, I

Don’t know anything!”

I walked behind her and said calmly: "Aunt Gui, if you really didn't know anything, then you wouldn't have interrupted the Queen Mother that time when she had a fever, had nightmares, and was talking nonsense.

That’s what I said.”

As soon as she heard this sentence, Grandma Gui's face froze.

I walked over slowly, calmed my tone, and said, "Mommy, I think you should know who I am, Yue Qingying. I will not harm the Queen Mother, there is no doubt about it."
p>

"..." Aunt Gui remained silent.

"Actually, I have already guessed the truth of the matter. Now, I just want to confirm my guess."

"..."

"Because of this incident, it has a great impact."

"..."

"Not only the Queen Mother, but also the current emperor and perhaps the entire world will be overthrown by this matter."

"..."

"When it really comes to that point, the court is in turmoil, war breaks out, and countless people die. Aunt Gui, will your conscience be at peace?"

The words I said were heavier than each word, and they all fell on the old man in front of me with a frown, a pale face, and her fingers were trembling. I even felt that her whole body was trembling, and finally she looked like

He took several steps back as if he was about to collapse, and fell down beside the bed: "Stop talking!"

"..."

Looking at her look, I knew that my goal had been achieved.

If a person wants to lie, or insist on a lie, he needs to build a strong barrier in his heart to withstand the impact of lying on his conscience, no matter whether the lie is good or bad. To make her tell the truth, first

Step is to break the barrier in her heart.

I slowly walked up to her, gently held her trembling hands, and said softly: "I know it's not easy for you to keep this secret all these years."

"..."

"Queen Mother, it's even more difficult."

"..."

"However, the Queen Mother has been fasting and chanting Buddha for so many years, and has tortured herself with such loneliness in Linshui Pagoda for so many years, but she has never said it easily. She just doesn't want to hurt others."

"..."

"And now, if this matter is taken advantage of by some people, it may hurt more people. Will the Queen Mother do this?"

Aunt Gui looked down at me, the look in her eyes was almost completely broken. She took a long breath and finally seemed to give up something, and said slowly: "What do you want to ask?"

My heart was relieved at this moment.

But, if I really had to ask, it would not only hurt others, but I would also feel the same pain. I hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The Queen Mother's child is not——, right?"
p>

Aunt Gui gritted her teeth and finally, slowly, nodded.

Although I had already guessed what I really wanted to do, my heart still fluttered when I actually saw Grandma Gui admit it like this.

Really!

It’s actually true!

"Why?"

"Why?" Aunt Gui repeated these three words, but looked at me with a funny look: "You are also a mother who has been a mother before. You should know why."

"..."

"No woman would want this kind of thing to happen."

"..." My heart sank, recalling the time when the Queen Mother sat quietly in the Linshui Pagoda and said to me, "He is my evil ghost Yaksha", the look in her eyes was as gray as death, but she was always

I seemed to understand the pain that could not be extinguished.

I said softly: "Yes, the Supreme Emperor?"

"..." Aunt Gui didn't say anything, but she acquiesced.

"Then, why did he do this?"

Aunt Gui sat there, shook her head gently, and said: "I don't know, until now, I don't know why. Back then, it was more than 20 years ago, Empress Zhaolie, Concubine Xian, and so on

The empress dowager of the imperial concubine, all three of them were pregnant at the same time. Although the emperor - the supreme emperor did not issue an edict at the time, I heard that he had already issued a decree that whoever gave birth to a prince first would be the crown prince of the Celestial Dynasty."
p>

"Oh?" My heart trembled.

According to the later order of eldest and youngest, it was naturally the Concubine Xian at that time, who was later Queen Yin. Her child was born first, so Pei Yuanxiu became the prince.

So, what does it have to do with the Queen Mother’s child?

After hearing my question, Aunt Gui's hand trembled in mine and said, "Actually, the Queen Mother doesn't care about this either. She just cares about whether her children can grow up well. But

——"

"But what?"

"But," Aunt Gui said with a look of horror in her eyes: "On the day when the Queen Mother gave birth, a fire suddenly broke out in Gui Palace!"

"Ah?!"

My heart skipped a beat - the fire in Gui Palace! That is, the fire that burned Queen Zhaolie to death!

Although I had heard before that Queen Zhaolie met with misfortune while pregnant with her child, I never imagined that at such a time, the Queen Mother would actually give birth at the same time!

I quickly grabbed her hand: "Then, Queen Zhaolie——"
