   Chapter 687 Eighty-six Provocation

There is no mother who does not love her child. In the years of losing Princess Jingming, the Queen Mother Tian has never had a day in peace. After losing her child, she hated the Emperor and Queen Li to the core, and it was precisely because of this that she would In the end, he stood up to support Emperor Yuanfeng and made Emperor Yuanfeng successfully become emperor.

   If it wasn't for the smog that Queen Li and the abolitionist emperor caused the capital to riot, her child would not have been lost at all.

   Over the years, she has been trying to support the people in her family, just because she is uneasy.

   She is old and will die sooner or later.

   But as long as she supports the Tian family, there will always be someone who remembers her Jingming, remembers her child, and may be able to get her back.

   She has been waiting for this day for more than 20 years.

  Empress Dowager Tian's eye sockets were red and bloodshot, her forehead was bulging out one by one, and her hands and feet were shaking with excitement.

   Xuanshen saluted again: "Immeasurable longevity, if you return to the Empress Dowager, Her Royal Highness has passed away, and Pindao has just confirmed the news of Her Royal Highness, so he came to the palace to ask for an interview."

died? !

  Tian's mother immediately looked at the Empress Dowager Tian worriedly, and sure enough, she saw that the Empress Dowager Tian took two steps back with a pale face, almost unsteady, so she stepped forward to support her: "The Empress Dowager."

After many years of hope, the Queen Mother Tian didn't even dare to dream about it at night. Every time she thought about it, she felt heartache and she never dared to think badly, just because she still thought that one day she could be reunited with her daughter, and be able to reunite with her mother and daughter to share a family relationship. .

   But now, everything is empty.

Years of waiting came to fruition at this moment. The Queen Mother Tian couldn't tell whether she felt more pain or hatred. She gritted her teeth and looked at the Scrophulariaceae in front of her and said coldly, "You are the servant of Baiheguan. Ren Guanzhu? Then how did you know the news about Princess Jingming?! You said that she was the princess, how do you think it was the princess?! If you have a lie today, the Aijia wants you to bury the entire Baiheguan with the princess!"

   Scrophularia slowly pulled out a purse from his sleeve pocket and held it respectfully in his hand.

Empress Dowager Tian opened her eyes wide when she saw it—she sewed this purse herself. Princess Jingming had worn it with a pin since she was born. Wear it on your body. Because the purse contained the peace talisman that the Empress Dowager Tian personally asked for at Huangjue Temple, Princess Jingming never left the purse.

   Some of the doubts that had just arisen vanished. At this moment, the Queen Mother Tian finally couldn't hold back. She took the purse and held it tightly on her chest, choked and cried uncontrollably.

  Tian's mother also choked up: "The Empress Dowager, please mourn Your Highness. If you know about it under the spring, you will definitely not want you to be sad."

   Queen Mother Tian whimpered, like a beast trapped in a cage.

After    calmed down for a while, she regained her usual composure, and became the high-ranking queen mother again, and asked Xuan Shen with a blank face: "Where is Jingming of Ai's family? You can clarify."

Xuanshen solemnly replied, lowered his head and said softly: "You took His Highness out of the palace to pray for blessings, just when a group of refugees was incited to make trouble, in the chaos, His Highness and you were separated, and later you sent people back to find them many times. Yes, but nothing came of it."

  The Empress Dowager Tian naturally remembered these.

   She felt pain in her stomach, and with the help of Mother Tian, ​​she sat on the phoenix seat and asked coldly, "And then?"

"And then suddenly one day, there was a little girl carved in pink and jade in our view. She looked like three or four years old." Xuanshen let out a calm sigh of relief: "My junior brother Xuanyuan said that he was a girl from the bottom of the mountain. It was picked up in the village, and I saw her lonely in the wilderness, afraid that she would be eaten by wild animals, so I brought it back to Guanli. At that time, although the news of Her Royal Highness's loss was already known to everyone, but no one knew about her. We ordinary people would not think of a little girl as a princess after seeing Her Royal Highness. We really thought that she was just an ordinary little girl.”

Xuanshen remembered what happened back then, and still feels guilty to this day: "Until one time, that little girl fell down in the back mountain and was met by me. When I went to help her, she fell out of this purse." He frowned. : "I recognized that this purse was unusual, because the amulet inside was handwritten by the abbot of Huangjue Temple, and only a handful of people could have it, so I became suspicious of this little girl's life experience, and went to Xuanyuan specifically. My brother asked."

  The Empress Dowager Tian closed her eyes.

   She doesn't believe that there are so many coincidences in this world.

Sure enough, Xuanshen said softly: "After I asked, junior brother Xuanyuan denied it, and then the girl disappeared from the view. I also asked junior brother without worry, but junior brother just prevaricates me, saying that it is a child. The parents have been found, so he has given the child back to the parents."

  The Empress Dowager Tian had already gritted her teeth with hatred for this Xuanyuan.

   Send it back to the parents? !

  Which parent did he give back? !

"I don't have any evidence to prove that she is the princess. Although I have doubts in my heart, I don't dare to make random decisions." Scrophulariaceae dry lips: "Then the capital was chaotic again, and our White Crane Temple was also in turmoil. I don't even dare to get involved in this kind of thing. Until two years ago, when my junior brother and I were traveling together, my junior brother had a serious illness. I'm sorry, things like the afterlife. I'm sure that's the real Princess Jingming."

  Empress Dowager Tian's fingers were cold, she forced herself to hold the armrest on the side with impatience and urged: "And then?!"

"Afterwards, when the younger brother woke up, he naturally denied it and never admitted that he had said such a thing." Xuanshen sighed: "But I am suspicious, and that girl is really beautiful and lovely. , Whenever I think of her disappearance, I feel unbearable guilt, so I have been investigating her whereabouts. A few days ago, I received a message that it turned out to be a believer who met my junior brother in Shenjia Village and said it was me The younger brother also took a child around the village. I hurried to Shenjia Village and searched for a long time, but still found nothing. Maybe the princess has a spirit in the sky, Shenjia Village found a female corpse, that corpse It was buried under a big tree at the entrance of the village, and my junior brother's peach wood sword was also found inside. These coincidences piled up together. I couldn't sleep at night, so I asked someone to dig deeper. Then, we found the corpse of a child. "

  The Empress Dowager Tian finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.

  Tian's mother screamed, and hurriedly asked people: "Quickly ask the imperial doctor! Quickly go and ask the sage!"
