Emperor Daliang stood up, his hair on his temples had turned a lot whiter, but at that moment, the emperor who had always shown his toughness seemed to be much older at this moment. The emperor walked out of the palace, listening to the sound coming from the depths of the imperial city.
The bell rang, and there was silence for a long time without speaking.
The palace people couldn't help it and began to cry. The crying made Emperor Liang feel a little sad.
He walked a few steps, came to the threshold in front of the palace and sat down, his imperial robe hanging to the ground, stained by the rain.
At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor is very old.
There were no tears in his eyes, but looking at those eyes, everyone knew that His Majesty the Emperor was extremely uncomfortable.
He sat on the threshold and waved. .??.
The palace people dispersed, walked towards the distance, and then knelt down in another place.
The bells and the conches rang out.
Emperor Liang was extremely silent.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, as if God is crying more and more sadly.
I don’t know how long it took, but the dean walked over from a distance holding an umbrella.
The dean of the academy did not speak when he walked to the palace gate. He quickly sat down, closed his umbrella, leaned aside casually, and then began to say, "Your Majesty will never come back after this trip. It's just that
Your Majesty himself must take good care of the current Liang Dynasty, which is thirty thousand miles north of Mobei. This is the common wish of both Your Majesty and the Empress."
Emperor Liang didn't speak, just lowered his head.
The dean, who had known the Emperor of Liang since he was young, actually understood his temperament very well. Instead of looking down on him, the dean felt that it was just right and as it should be. There were too many cold-blooded emperors in history who were affectionate and affectionate.
On the contrary, there are not many His Majesty the Emperor who are righteous.
In fact, once you meet such an emperor, you will be extremely lucky.
Emperor Liang smiled and whispered, "I also know that nothing lasts forever. She just went ahead to wait for me for some time until I could find her."
The dean said with emotion, "I am so lucky to have met him."
…
…
The sound of the bell gradually dissipated.
The lanterns in the imperial city have been replaced by pale colors.
The palace people put on mourning clothes.
The news has already spread.
All over the capital, people spontaneously took down the lanterns in front of their homes and replaced them with white lanterns.
Many people actually have no chance to come into contact with the Empress, but just by listening to those rumors, they know that the Empress is truly virtuous and virtuous, and besides, the real big shots naturally know some things.
The ancestor of the Xie family sat in front of the ancestral hall and was silent for a long time. Then he said, "Take down the lantern and replace it with a white one. In addition, tell everyone in the Xie family that they will not eat meat for three months. Even if it is not for this empress, it is also for the sake of the empress."
That Duke."
The Xie family was one of the two major families in the Liang Dynasty. Things like this never happened before. Even if His Majesty the Emperor passed away, they would not do anything. After all, they were a real big family.
What the ancestor of the Xie family said in front of the ancestral hall was quickly spread, and the results soon came to fruition.
Everything became very normal. After Mr. Xie hung up the white lantern, Mr. Wei also hung it up.
No matter what the major families in the capital city think about the Daliang Dynasty, they will not have anything to say about the empress. The empress can truly be said to be a virtuous queen. The entire Daliang Dynasty has a history of more than two hundred years.
Here, I am afraid that only the founding queen can compare with her.
There is no way ordinary people can compare such a generation of virtuous queens.
Naturally, the treatment is also different.
…
…
Chen Chao held an oil-paper umbrella, followed by Xie Nandu. The two of them walked calmly on the streets of Shendu with an umbrella each.
Wan Liuhui won the first prize. This was such a big deal. In fact, everyone should be happy no matter what, but when the empress died, there was no reason to be happy.
Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao, who had a heavy look on his face, and asked, "Do you have something you want to say?"
She was as attentive as a hair and could naturally tell what Chen Chao in front of her was thinking.
Chen Chao smiled and then realized that it was really
His face looked a little ugly and he stopped smiling.
Xie Nandu said, "Tell me about it. There are some things that are hidden in your heart. If you never say them out, you will regret them in the end."
Chen Chao looked at her, thought for a while, and said, "I grew up by the Weishui River. I actually don't know many things. I just remember that my mother told me many stories earlier. At that time, I was very
I couldn't remember everything, but then I didn't know why, but suddenly I remembered what happened many years ago, and then I remembered what my mother said. She said she had a sister, but actually there were two
, but she only regarded that person as her sister. She was an illegitimate daughter. Although her father was prominent, she had no status. She lived with her mother in the early years. Later, her mother died, and she entered that mansion. At that time, everyone
No one likes my mother, only my sister does."
"Naturally, the relationship ended up being very good."
"A few years later, my mother married into a wealthy family and became a concubine..."
Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao with a light in his eyes.
Chen Chao also looked at her, thought for a while, and quickly said, "Yes, my mother is the Queen's little sister, the illegitimate daughter of the Northern General."
This is something that countless people want to know. In fact, Chen Chao has never said it. Now he has just spoken, and he only said it to let the girl in front of him know.
Xie Nandu said, "That's it."
"My mother later married the former crown prince as a concubine. Not many people know about this."
Chen Chao looked at Xie Nandu.
Xie Nandu didn't say anything. The former prince was the elder brother of the current Emperor Daliang and the eldest son of Emperor Lingzong. Emperor Lingzong loved this prince very much, so he always wanted to pass on the throne. When the former prince died suddenly, Emperor Lingzong
For a while, he couldn't accept it, so he had the intention of loving the house and the crow, so he passed the throne to the eldest son of the former prince, who was the deposed emperor of the previous dynasty.
And speaking of it this way, Chen Chao was the younger brother of the deposed emperor, but he was just a commoner.
This is his identity. It seems simple, but in fact it is not complicated.
Xie Nandu looked at him and said, "You have royal blood."
She was a little emotional.<
br>
Regarding Chen Chao's identity, many people have thought that he is a remnant of the previous dynasty, but few people know his original identity.
Chen Chaoping said, "My mother often talked about the Queen in her last days. She hated her a little, thinking that if it weren't for this aunt, everything would be fine, but in fact it was not that good."
Xie Nandu said, "The deposed emperor may seem merciful, but he is extremely cruel to his relatives. If you were by his side, you would probably be imprisoned when you grow up."
Chen Chao nodded.
"Then why are you coming to Shendu from the banks of the Weishui River?"
Xie Nandu wanted to know the reason behind this.
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "There was a fire in the palace. I didn't die. I was taken to Weizhou and no one took care of me..."
Having said this, Chen Chao was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at Xie Nandu and said, "In fact, I didn't know about this at all in those years. If it weren't for her..."
Having said this, Chen Chao was silent for a long time and did not continue to speak. I don't know how long it took.
In his mind was the girl lying in the coffin, with an extremely hot fireball in her eyes.
After looking at the girl, he remembered many things.
I remembered all those things from my childhood.
Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao and said nothing.
It rained heavily.
Two people stood on the long street.
Chen Chao said, "If it hadn't been for those people, I wouldn't have come to Shendu. I would have spent many, many years in Tianqing County, and maybe my whole life would have passed like this."
Xie Nandu was silent for a moment and then said, "Some things are really hard to talk about, especially things like this."
Chen Chao nodded.
He was somewhat silent.
Looking at the heavy rain, he thought for a long time and then said softly, "My mother probably doesn't hate my aunt."
Xie Nandu said nothing.
She didn't know what to say.
Chen Chao looked at her and asked, "Can I enter the palace?"
