The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 484

After the person left, the moment the bedroom door closed, the bright sunshine outside was cut off.

Chu Jin has always disliked the layout of the side hall of Fengluan Palace. The ling windows for lighting are blocked by the shadow cast by the towering ancient trees outside. Even in broad daylight, only scattered sunlight can penetrate.

Those ancient trees in the palace were planted by Emperor Taizu himself, and they cannot be cut down.Therefore, the side hall is lit with candles all year round.

After a night, the candle stubs on the candlestick were burning awkwardly, and the fire was faltering, as if it would go out at any moment.

Empress Dowager Zhang stared at the few candles with cloudy eyes, and said softly: "The Ai family will never be able to look forward to the day when they leave the palace."

Xuan Jue shook his head heavily, "My mother is talking nonsense, you will be fine. My son will take you out of the palace to see the great rivers and mountains. You have spent your whole life in the palace, and the good days are only looking forward to the beginning. You hold on, son. I will try to save you."

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled dryly in a low voice, "What can you do if the imperial doctors are helpless?"

"Mother, she will be able to save you!" Xuan Jue said firmly: "Mother, you support me, my son will go to the East China Sea to find mother!"

He got up to leave, but was pulled by Queen Mother Zhang.

Queen Mother Zhang didn't have much strength anymore, her hand was only resting on Xuan Jue's arm, and Xuan Jue could break free with a slight flick, but he still froze in place and didn't move on.

Empress Dowager Zhang said to Xuan Jue in a soft voice: "Sit down, mother wants to talk to you for a while."

In my impression, Empress Dowager Zhang never seemed to address herself like this in front of Xuan Jue.

She called herself Aijia, or Mother Empress. The word "Niang" is a folk name. No concubine in Diyuan City would use this name to talk to her own children, which would be a loss of status.

Xuanjue was very anxious, but Queen Mother Zhang forced him to stay, and he couldn't bear to leave her behind.

He was afraid that Queen Mother Zhang would pass away before he found Dragon Mother.

Not only could Queen Mother Zhang not be saved, but she was not even sent off on her last journey, which is a pity.

Empress Dowager Zhang raised her hand with difficulty to caress Xuan Jue's forehead hair, and she smiled until tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, "It's good, you're already this big. Mother still remembers that when you were so young, you always pestered your mistress Holding you, you don't want to sleep on your mother's arm at night, you still don't like it."

"Mother still remembers that your clothes before you were five years old were embroidered by your mother stitch by stitch. The people in the manufacturing office are much better than your mother, but your mother always wants to give you the best things. "

"You have been a sensible child since you were young, and being sensible makes my mother feel bad. Your eldest brother and your third brother bullied you and wronged you for stealing the Ye Mingzhu from Concubine Yu's Palace. When your father was beating you, you insisted on not saying anything. Later, when Mother asked you why you kept it a secret, you said that they were your siblings, and you couldn't bear to let them be beaten."

"Later, your elder brother and your third elder brother rebelled and tried to usurp the throne. If you hadn't pleaded repeatedly, mother would definitely not let them live. You are so kind to those who have hurt you, and you are so good to mother. So, after mother knew that you were not mother's own child, mother did not alienate you in the slightest."

"Because you are mother's child. No matter what happens, this will not change. It is mother's greatest blessing to have you as a son in this life."

Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at the neatly stacked Empress Dowager uniforms on the small table in front of the couch, sighed and shook her head in a daze.

She wore the clothes that symbolized the supreme glory for eight years.

The responsibility of protecting Dazhao's peace and putting all living beings first in everything has also been carried on her shoulders for eight years.

Recalling the past, she seemed to have infinite emotion, "Sometimes, Aijia really envies Jin'er. He has you who love her like this, which is a blessing that many women can't expect in this life. Aijia and the late emperor met in the same The most common courtier's daughter entered the palace for a draft. Everyone said that the Ai family was for the glory, and the first emperor was for the Ai family's family background, so he would raise the same eyebrows with the Ai family. But they were all wrong. The first emperor was indeed for the sake of the family. The Ai family's mother's family background made the Ai family the queen, but the Ai family never plotted anything against the late emperor."

"The Ai family has been fascinated by the late Emperor since the first time he saw him." Empress Dowager Zhang lowered her eyelids and smiled slightly, "When the Ai family married into the palace, she was only in her early twenties. Then At that time, the first emperor was already over sixty years old, three years older than Aijia's father. But he was so full of talent, so understanding, so gentle, so majestic, and Aijia was quickly dismissed. He conquered."

"As a woman of the emperor, she expected to compete with the endless women in the harem, to fight, to be more ruthless, to be more poisonous. Aijia always remembered what Aijia's mother said to Aijia before entering the palace. What I said before, has always been done in this way. But it was not until the death of the first emperor that the Ai family gradually understood a truth. Love is love, and not love is not love. The first emperor Yu Gongsun, you Yu Chujin , have given all their sincerity, and can't tolerate others."

"The only difference between you and the late emperor is that the late emperor was willing to cater to other women for Dazhao and the world he worked so hard for. But you are different. You are willing to give up the whole world and even your own life for the sake of Jin'er. That girl It is a blessing for her to have such a wishful gentleman like you."

Empress Dowager Zhang's voice became weaker and weaker, so weak that Xuan Jue had to listen to her lips to hear what she said clearly.

He squeezed out a not-so-good-looking smile, and said in a steady voice: "It's my son's good fortune to know Jin'er and be with her."

He paused, struggling to lie to Empress Dowager Zhang, "Empress Mother always said that Emperor Father loves the Gongsun family, and she just respects you. But do you know that in the days before Emperor Father died, he had a relationship with the emperor who took care of him?" What did the old eunuch Chunfeng say? His father told him that Chunfeng would enshrine his mother's portrait in the emperor's mausoleum a hundred years later. He only mentioned you, not the Gongsun family. These words are the result of Chunfeng's death I told Liu Qi before, and Liu Qi mentioned it to me, but at that time, I felt that it would be somewhat unfavorable to put the portrait of the queen mother in the emperor's tomb, so I kept hiding it from my mother and never told her."

"Really?" Empress Dowager Zhang smiled lightly, "Really."

How could she not be able to tell whether the son she had raised since childhood was telling the truth or a lie?
She knew that Xuan Jue wanted her to leave without any worries.

So she stopped entangled in this, closed her eyes and muttered: "Whether you love or not, is it important at this age? The important thing is that Aijia knows that Aijia once liked him vigorously, and that's enough .”

After saying this, she was silent again.

Xuan Jue shook her body and got no response, but fortunately, she touched her nose with a hand, and there was still a faint breath.
