Thoughts over and over, although he was extremely reluctant, Zhu Gaosui finally walked to the imperial case, ordered the man to pick up the memorial, and gave him a copy.~~~~

He was really worried. Thinking of Hao Fenglou's usual tricks, the more he used to be as varnish as Hao Fenglou, the more he knew Hao Fenglou was powerful, and Hao Fenglou did hit his weakness this time.

Once Hao Fenglou's conspiracy succeeds, he... will be really finished.

For this reason, Zhu Gaosui had to be very careful. He thought hard for a long time and planned to meet Empress Dowager Xu and see what Empress Dowager Xu was thinking.

Zhu Gaosui ordered people to go to Wanshou Palace to report, and then started the journey.

Empress Xu became the queen mother, so she naturally could not stay in Kunning Palace again, so she moved to Wanshou Palace. Zhu Gaosui was very good to her. Not only did she not reduce her offerings, but she even added a lot. She came to greet her every few days on weekdays, and was very attentive.

Empress Dowager Xu's life is also simple, as before, and there has been no change. It is just because of the pain of losing her husband, son, and brother, which made her lose a lot of weight. Although she was not as haggard as she was, under the makeup, she still couldn't hide the pale face and the sadness in her eyes.

The emperor was about to come, and Wanshou Palace quickly prepared to welcome him. Empress Dowager Xu was holding the case on the phoenix couch. On the case were plates of fruits and vegetables filled with silver plates. Zhu Gaosui came in and bowed to the ground in this empty hall, saying, "I have seen my mother's body better? I have been plagued by chores recently and have not visited her for two consecutive days. I also asked her mother to forgive her crimes."

Empress Dowager Xu's eyes were like a pool of spring water, and she couldn't show any emotions. She just pursed her lips and said lightly: "Oh, thank you for your hard work. My palace's body has improved a lot. This is all thanks to His Majesty. The ground is too cold. Get up quickly. Come on, add a few braziers."

The palace maids shuttled through the hall and began to be busy. Some brought tea to Zhu Gaosui, some added charcoal, and handed it to the hand stove. However, the mother and son regarded these people as transparent, as if they did not exist.

Zhu Gaosui kept looking at his mother. All his reactions were extremely decent. He never lost any etiquette. But... Zhu Gaosui didn't know anything about what she was thinking.

Zhu Gaosui smiled bitterly in his heart, but still coughed, cheered up and said, "The birthday of the mother's queen is coming soon. My son is thinking that a few days ago, there have been many things in the palace. At this time, we should take advantage of the birthday of the mother to add some joy to the palace. Moreover, the great kindness of the mother's queen raising the child is hard to repay even if the son dies. My son is thinking day and night, and always feels that now the grand throne is not enough to be filial and happy with the mother's queen. I feel really uneasy. This birthday must be glorious. This can make my son feel more at ease."

I thought Empress Dowager Xu would definitely object at this time. After all, if she encountered such a big thing, how could she feel like she was going to hold a birthday? All fools knew that this was Zhu Gaosui who deliberately did it to clarify the rumors.

Originally, Zhu Gaosui had already planned to do so, and after Empress Dowager Xu refused, he tried to persuade him.

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Xu pondered for a moment and said, "This...is very good. You are right. I have encountered so many bad omens in the palace. It is time to add some happy events. Let Your Majesty handle this matter. My mother has received your Majesty's feelings, and this love is also something that you have to bear."

When Zhu Gaosui heard this, his heart was shocked. The Queen Mother agreed to be so happy. Why is that? According to the news here, the Queen Mother was in a daze and sad these days. Do you really have the intention to have a birthday at this time?

No, it must be nothing, but what happened to the queen mother is so happy? Could it be that she had known the truth of the matter long ago? She knew that that night, the father, the emperor, the prince, the Duke of Wei were all killed by him, so she hated him to the core and wanted to spread something out no matter what. Hao Fenglou, who was outside, worked with him inside and outside, thought this birthday party was the best time?

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaosui's heart became cold and sneered indifferently, but he still said: "If this is the case, then you must do a great job. All this, my son will do my best. My mother will rest well. My son has something to do. I will say goodbye for the time being. My mother will take care of her. "

Empress Dowager Xu smiled slightly, with a little warmth: "Gao Sui..."

This is the nickname that Empress Dowager Xu called him.

Zhu Gaosui turned around and was about to leave and stopped. He couldn't help but pause, turned sideways and said, "What are the instructions for the queen mother?"

Empress Dowager Xu smiled at him and said, "You must take good care of yourself, you are the only son left in the Ai family. Do you know?"

Zhu Gaosuihe nodded and said, "If you have to worry about your mother, your son will take care of yourself for your mother."

Empress Dowager Xu waved her hand and said, "The emperor can do your own thing."

Watching Zhu Gaosui come out of the hall, the smile on Empress Dowager Xu's face had not yet dissipated. She stared at Zhu Gaosui's back in a daze, and was thinking about something. After a long time, she withdrew her gaze, as if she had remembered something, and said slowly: "Come here, go to the ice cellar and pick up a few lychees sent from Lingnan. Ai's mouth became a little light."

She lowered her eyebrows and covered her eyes. No one could see anything flashing deep in her eyes.

Zhu Gaosui walked out of Wanshou Hall and walked a few steps forward. Before he could chase him, an old eunuch was kneeling here for a long time.

Zhu Gaosui stepped forward, and the old eunuch said in a low voice: "I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Zhu Gaosui stopped for a moment, looked at him coldly, and said, "My mother has eaten and used for the past few days?"

Zhou An said: "It's normal to go back to Your Majesty. But the day before yesterday, I saw that there was no light in the bedroom, but there was movement inside. I was not on duty in the bedroom, so I didn't know what the movement was. The next morning I deliberately asked the two palace servants who were serving their daily life. They all said that the empress was just getting up at night, and there was no difference."

After pausing, Zhou An thought of something and quickly said, "Oh, yes, early this morning, I combed the empress's hair. The empress dowager was stunned in the bronze mirror for a while, and she had a full stick of incense. Then she said, "Well... Yes, that sentence is called 'What's the use of staying for the undead person?"

Zhu Gaosui frowned, listened to it word by word, chewing it carefully, feeling something strange, but he also felt that nothing was wrong. He was very upset in his heart, and finally smiled coldly and said, "Continue to watch, report it immediately if there is any news. If there is a slight delay, it will take your life."

Zhou An quickly responded and said, "I obey the order."

Zhu Gaoshui shook his sleeves and left.

On this day, Zhu Gaosui was very busy and busy. Lai Jun, who came from Qingzhou, had already returned. Zhu Gaosui summoned him into the palace and talked deeply for an hour. Then Lai Jun came out of the palace with great worries, followed by Ma Yu, the commander of the Jinyiwei Guard. Ma Yu was sweating profusely when Ma Yu came out of the palace.

Some of the eunuchs in the palace were also called secretly, but no one knew what they said.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

For the outside court, the news from the palace was a bit surprising. First, Hao Feng wrote a letter to hold the Queen Mother's birthday party. Then, the emperor approved the favor and the decree came down, saying that it was unprecedented.

Many people dare not discuss the actions of the emperor in private. On the one hand, the atmosphere has been very tense recently, and on the other hand, the fact that there is a lot of facts to be discussed. If you say a wrong sentence, your life may be difficult to protect.

However, some ministers have submitted some verses, just saying that His Majesty's filial piety has always been a shortage of such stingy memorials.

Therefore, preparing for a birthday party has become a crucial matter. Not to mention that the palace began to take action, even the city of Jinling was greatly affected.

The soldiers of the five cities' military personnel began to move, wearing red and green everywhere, and hanging tall lanterns everywhere. Here in Yingtian Mansion, recently, we have begun to investigate some low-ranking villains to prevent anything from happening on the day of our birthday. If any murder occurs or if the water is gone, no one can bear this relationship.

The mansions of the adults of various families are also busy. Logically, the destiny women have to enter the palace to accompany them, so many people have to add clothes to the palace, and men are forced to celebrate their birthdays outside, but this birthday celebration must be prepared as soon as possible.

Those who are closer to the royal family may have to prepare a birthday gift. Everyone is particularly concerned about this birthday gift. If they don’t dig into some thoughts, they will inevitably become a laughing stock.

For the Hao family, this seemed to have become a big deal. The whole Hao family was in a mess and started to decorate the lights early. It is reported that the Hao family has already started to collect Qizhen, perhaps because they felt that the ordinary jewelry in the treasury was still difficult to get into the eyes of the Queen Mother, so they wanted to spend more time before this birthday.
