Chapter 278 Forgetting
Thank him for being soft-spoken.

Thank you for knowing him for many years.

I am even more grateful for his eccentric protection, but for that kind of heart, Gao Changle is doomed to owe it no matter whether it is the previous life or the present life.

Chen Yuanjia paused, and then left quickly.

Gao Changle narrowed his eyes again, gently shaking the grand teacher's chair, sandalwood calmed down, and then she calmed down again. She could still hear the sound of light rain falling outside the dormitory, flowing along the eaves. The glazed red tiles flow.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock, has an inexplicable melody, which makes people fall into dreams.

Chen Guo.

Hakushu.

"Emperor grandson, are you awake?"

It was already the second night when Li Shao woke up again.

Unlike when he woke up the day before yesterday, his brows were furrowed and his dark eyes were majestic, after Li Shao woke up now, his eyes were more puzzled, "Are you...?"

"Slave Tan Yun is your personal servant, the eldest grandson of the emperor."

"You don't remember the slave?"

Tan Yun endured his own trepidation, and made an opening introduction with Li Shao as if he had just met him. Before Li Shao could continue to ask, he continued, "Before hunting in the paddock, Rongdi's assassins came to assassinate you. You were injured and killed. You Are you really not impressed at all?"

Tan Yun's eyes were clear, with a slight smile on his face, but his heart was extremely disturbed.

Hunting and assassination in the paddock This is a scene that Li Shao and Gao Changle once met together. Mr. Xie ordered someone to inquire about everything that happened between Li Shao and Gao Changle, and then recorded it to Tan Yun. .

Li Shao is so smart, even if he lost his memory after taking medicine, if he doesn't want to be suspicious in his heart, then he can't tell all the lies, let alone let Li Shao live in a world full of lies again .

This cannot stand scrutiny, let alone test.

To make Li Shao believe in the environment and facts constructed by Xie Jue, first of all, Tan Yun must deceive himself with all the lies, and make himself believe that everything that happened before was real.

And the two masters where the incident happened were her and Li Shao.

It's not the princess from Linguo.

really.

Li Shao frowned slightly, even though Tan Yun had put his mind to it, in Li Shao's view, he couldn't accept it with peace of mind, and he didn't refute it, but just shook his head calmly.

Perhaps Li Shao was really impressed by hunting in the paddock back then. After Tan Yun mentioned these familiar words, he didn't suspect anything, but slowly got up from the bed, intending to walk on the ground.

Tan Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stepped forward to support Li Shao.

Today's Tan Yun is wearing Gao Changle's favorite red embroidered begonia flower dress, but it is not as rich as Gao Changle's palace attire, but it is rare that they are very similar in figure.

"Emperor grandson, your body is still very weak, especially the head injury. When the imperial doctor came to visit you, he said that you may lose your memory for a short period of time."

Tan Yun quickly added, "But it doesn't matter, this servant will tell you about your past one by one during this time, and will always take care of you by your side."

Li Shao frowned thoughtfully, then said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

-

North Yan.

All three members of Cai's 310 were imprisoned, and the bloody storm in the court lasted for half a year, and Zhou Hao's throne was now secure.

It's just that Zhou Hao beheaded a hundred members of Cai's family, but kept the Empress Dowager Cai undisturbed, and instead locked her up in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, taking good care of her as the Empress Dowager. with.

The weather in the beginning of autumn is getting colder, and the autumn wind blows on the body, which makes people feel extra cool, and even their thoughts become clearer.

One day after the court, without heavy official duties, Zhou Hao came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace as usual to say hello.

Even if—

At this time, Beiyan had already returned to the Zhou family, and no longer had the exclusive power of the Cai family, but Zhou Hao's respect for the empress dowager seemed to have never changed from the beginning to the end.

Rain or shine.

"See Your Majesty."

Seeing Zhou Hao approaching, the servants of the Compassionate Ning Palace knelt down respectfully.

Zhou Hao waved his hands indifferently, and then walked slowly towards the bedroom.

The Empress Dowager Cai seems to be in a good mood today, perhaps she is used to being locked up in the Nuoda bedroom of the Compassionate Palace, Zhou Hao didn't disturb her when he came over, and saw her fiddling with the celadon vase with scissors. Begonia flowers.

The phoenix crown and court clothes were taken off, and the phoenix hairpin and jewels were gone, which made the Queen Mother Cai look a little younger.

Zhou Hao stood quietly in front of the palace gate, looking at the elegant Queen Mother Cai, he had an illusion in front of his eyes, just like when he first met the Queen Mother Cai.

Back then, she was only 16 years old, wearing a red wedding dress, surrounded by tens of thousands of people, was married to the Kunning Palace by the first emperor. She was as bright as a crabapple flower, so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

But he was just an accident left behind by the late emperor's drunken pampering maid.

When the first emperor was alive, he was bullied. After the death of the first emperor, his relative Cai took control of the former court and the rear palace, and his life became more and more miserable.

That day, he accidentally offended Cai Mu of the Cai family and almost died.

What a ridiculous thing.

A majestic prince would die because he offended a courtier, but there is no way, he has neither the escort of his favored mother and concubine, nor the protection of a huge grandparent's family.

When the first emperor was alive, he couldn't control his humble son. What's more, the first emperor was dead, and his situation became more and more difficult.

Just when he thought that he was about to be beaten to death, it was Empress Dowager Cai who saw him being bullied and rescued him, and raised him in Kunning Palace with delicious food and drink.

It was precisely because of this kind of fate that the royal family of the Zhou family was massacred, and he, the most inconspicuous prince, was able to live well beside the Queen Mother Cai and in front of the people of the Cai family.

Therefore, in Zhou Hao's heart, no matter how fierce the imperial power dispute between the Zhou family and the Cai family is, he will not treat her badly, and will respect her, respect her and serve her for the rest of his life.

"You came."

Empress Dowager Cai's faint voice interrupted Zhou Hao's thoughts.

"Yes."

"Come and pay your respects to the Queen Mother."

A gentle voice sounded, but Zhou Hao, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, actually bowed to the Queen Mother Cai.

Zhou Hao rarely called her queen mother like other princes.

Most of the time, Zhou Hao would call her the queen mother, even that son-in-law was unwilling to call herself.

The Empress Dowager Cai slowly put down the scissors in her hand, and carefully looked at Zhou Hao's soft and beautiful face with calm eyes, slightly dazed.

Since when did the young man in front of her have the aura of an emperor, and when did the young man in front of her be so outstanding that she couldn't associate it with the submissive child who stayed in front of her before.

"Is Aijia treating you badly?"

After the death of the first emperor, all the power in the court fell into her hands. The Zhou clan was naturally dissatisfied, and the royal family even stood up to accuse her of causing trouble for the court and wanted to drive her out of power. How could she agree?
Those princes who disobeyed her were either secretly executed by her, or exiled and suppressed by her. Only Wang Zhouhao of Guangping was raised by her side, and she also raised him with the honor of a prince. Even the members of the Cai family had to greet Zhou Hao politely when they saw Zhou Hao. Even now, after thinking about it carefully, Queen Mother Cai felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhou Hao.

"it is good."

"The Queen Mother treats me very well." Zhou Hao replied without thinking, "But Queen Mother, this country was originally named Zhou, and everything you gave me, Queen Mother, is what I should have, even... There are more!"

The Empress Dowager Cai was indeed very kind to him, but no matter how good she was, she would be dependent on others. At that time, his brothers and uncles could not hold back, and they all chose to challenge the Empress Dowager Cai openly. He was respectful and low-key to the Cai family, so he was not driven out.

A look of coldness flashed across Zhou Hao's eyes, "But Queen Mother, you didn't mean to be nice to me on purpose, you just thought I wasn't a threat."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Regardless of the reason why you didn't kill me at the beginning, as far as I am concerned, it is a kindness and rebirth. In my heart, I will always remember your life-saving grace of the Queen Mother, and it will never be forgotten."

"Hehe, that's right." Empress Dowager Cai smiled lowly, and looked at Zhou Hao's thin figure with eyes of approval, "It's really rare for your Zhou family to have a loving and righteous child like you."

"If the first emperor had treated the Ai family so affectionately and righteously back then, the Ai family would not have come to where it is today."

Zhou Hao is very patient. He doesn't comment on the right and wrong between the late Emperor and the Empress Dowager Cai. He has only one purpose in coming today, and that is to get back what he should have, and what the Zhou family should have. country.

The word Aijia sounded especially harsh at this time.

"You should know Aijia's temper." Empress Dowager Cai came back to her senses, looking through the hollow carved window to the high-walled courtyard outside the window.

Counting the days, the Cai family should have almost been dealt with by now.

Even though she was locked up in the Compassionate Ning Palace and isolated from the world, the inadvertent words and discussions of the palace people were heard.

Take ten thousand steps back.

Even if she didn't inquire, she should have guessed what happened to her people.

She was too ridiculous and crazy in her life, guarding Beiyan Jiangshan for more than ten years for a man who didn't love her.

The Cai family blamed her for being partial to outsiders, and the Zhou family resented her for taking over the magpie's nest.

Zhou Hao smiled softly, "I know."

"The thing I have done the most over the years is to ponder the queen mother's mind and please the queen mother, so that my life will be easier."

"So even if I know, I still want to come and ask the Empress Dowager personally if she is willing to watch Beiyan's blood flow into rivers, and watch your last [-] elite resist desperately, and finally the entire army is wiped out."

The Cai family has been intertwined in Beiyan for nearly thirty years, especially after the death of the first emperor and the Empress Dowager Cai came to power.

Even though Zhou Hao has plotted for so many years and wiped out most of the Cai family with a thunderbolt, the Cai family still has a remnant force that cannot be underestimated. If the fight continues, Beiyan as a whole may have to retreat 20 years.

Empress Dowager Cai's eyes were sharp, "Aren't you afraid that Ai's family will kill you?"

"Not afraid."

Zhou Hao was always smiling, but Empress Dowager Cai felt that her scalp was numb, which was something she had never felt before.

Unintentionally, Zhou Hao caught a glimpse of the silver hair on the temples of Empress Dowager Cai.

In fact, after careful calculation, Queen Mother Cai is only nine years older than me, but she always looks mature and prudent in front of me...

Realizing that he had overstepped, Zhou Hao withdrew his gaze, "I stepped back first."

The Empress Dowager Cai didn't notice until Zhou Hao's figure completely disappeared in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. She was always thinking about the past in her mind, as if it just happened yesterday.

It began to rain suddenly outside.

Dark clouds rolled over the sky, and it was dark outside the window.

wow wow wow-

At first it was just a light rain, but then it got bigger and bigger. The raindrops fell on the ground and then burst into sprays, hitting the crabapple trees in the yard.

Empress Dowager Cai committed suicide in Qiankun Palace.

dead.

Zhou Hao came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and did not rush back to the Jinluan Palace, but walked aimlessly along the palace wall alone, even the palace people were dismissed one by one.

Eunuch Zhu Chen was terrified, "Your Majesty, it's about to rain."

"If you feel uncomfortable with too many people serving you, then let the old slave hold the umbrella and accompany you?"

Zhou Hao lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The autumn rain was drizzling, and the oiled paper umbrella was crackling. Zhou Hao raised his head hard, looked at the panicked birds on the branches, and the fallen leaves on the tree trunks that were gradually withering and turning autumnal. He could only feel the warmth in the corners of his eyes.

Not long after he left, bursts of wailing came from the Palace of Compassion and Ning...

Zhou Hao's figure stayed in place for a long time, warm tears fell from his eyes, but he smiled, feeling unprecedentedly relieved.

Already knew this would happen.

But he didn't even have a choice.

Maybe it was wrong from the beginning.

If she is not the queen mother who bears the glory of Cai's Manchu family, and she is just the son of an ordinary family, it would be great.

"emperor……"

"The empress dowager... has died..."

Zhu Chen knelt in the autumn rain, Zhou Hao was silent for a while, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Cai, a sinful woman, has dominated the government for many years, so that her relatives monopolize the power and cause chaos in the court, but now that she has passed away and the dead are big, then... Regardless of his faults during his lifetime, he is still respected as the empress dowager and buried with the empress dowager's ceremony."

"Buried in... Nanyang."

Zhou Hao's voice paused, after all, he had selfish intentions.

Even though he knew that Empress Dowager Cai's greatest wish in this life was to be buried in the emperor's mausoleum and buried in the ground with the late emperor, and not to take advantage of the Wan family noble concubine, Zhou Hao still failed to make her wish come true.

The first emperor only had concubine Wan in his heart.

Her resting place should not be beside the late emperor.

But...

should be beside him.

Zhu Chen's eyes were shocked.

Nanyang was the mausoleum specially chosen by the courtiers for Zhou Hao after he ascended the throne. He actually wanted the queen mother of a country to be buried with him? ! ?
