As expected, a stone door behind him slowly opened. The light inside was very strong, shining through the gap. Logically speaking, it was a dark room, and it couldn't be brighter than theirs, and the brightness was somewhat different from the light.

It's weak, it's that kind of soft light, very warm feeling.

As the Imperial Master walked into the dark room, the stone door was gently closed and the light gradually lost.

The two looked at each other, and Chu Xia pointed to the door, "Let's go take a look."

Jing Yuan hesitated for a moment, it was not a gentleman's behavior to peek into other people's privacy. But he couldn't stand Chu Xia's pleading eyes, and he was actually a little curious, so he agreed to her.

The two quietly walked to the stone door, which happened to have a gap left for them to peek through. Through the gap, they could clearly see everything in the room, because there was a goose egg-sized luminous pearl inlaid in the center of the roof. No wonder they saw it.

It looks so bright, even brighter than today's electric lights, but much gentler than electric lights, at least not dazzling.

There is a very elegant room inside. It looks like it is a woman's room, and the fragrance of orchids is coming out.

There are no extra furnishings in the room, and the big bed in the middle is very eye-catching. But the bed is not an ordinary bed, but an ice bed that emits cold air. The Imperial Master is sitting on the ice bed, and they can only see his back.

, but could not see his expression. His slightly gray hair was tied to his shoulders, and his back was straight and straight, but he looked a little lonely. They followed the line of sight and saw that there was a person lying on the ice bed, both of them.

I was shocked. Although I couldn't see her face because of the imperial master, I could tell from her clothes that she was a woman.

How could it not make people curious that there was actually a woman hiding in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, and that she was in a dark room? For Chu Xia, whose curiosity could transport her to ancient times, how could this not make her blood boil with excitement.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't speak, just watching everything quietly.

A moment later, I heard the Imperial Master's voice. It was not as cold as a person who didn't know the fireworks, but gentle as never before.

"Today is the 3720th day. You haven't woken up yet. Do you know that the flowers are blooming outside at the right time? It's the most beautiful season. Don't you like orchids? I planted a lot of orchids for you.

Now they are all open, colorful, fresh and pleasant, you will definitely like them if you see them.

I have been thinking that if you can wake up one day and go see orchids with me, then I will have no regrets in this life."

This kind of affectionate dialogue can only be done by someone you like. Isn't he a Taoist? It turns out that he also has worldly affairs.

Chu Xia looked at Jing Yuan in confusion, and saw that his eyebrows were knotted together, and he seemed to be more troubled than she was.

"Jun Bao has grown up. You don't have to worry anymore. I will do everything I promised you. Let me tell you some good news. He is getting married. He is marrying Miss Chu. I think you must be very satisfied, right?"

Hearing this, Chu Xia, who was as stupid as Chu Xia, also felt that something was wrong. Jing Yuan's whole body tensed up, and there was surprise and disbelief in his deep phoenix eyes. She felt his hand grabbing her shoulder, and subconsciously

The inside was tightening, and Chu Xia almost cried out in pain.

"Who!" Even such a subtle movement was still noticed by the national master with profound internal strength. He suddenly turned around and shouted coldly.

Originally, because his back blocked their view, they never saw clearly who the woman on the bed was. But at this moment, Tamaki suddenly stood up and changed her perspective, so they could clearly see the face of the person lying on the bed.

It looked okay, both of them were shocked.

"Queen Mother!" With an exclamation, Jing Yuan rushed over desperately. He stared blankly at the sleeping woman on the bed. Is this really his Queen Mother? Isn't he dreaming?

Chu Xia also followed in and couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw the person on the bed. The woman in front of her was really the Queen. Her appearance had not changed much in ten years, she was still the same graceful and charming, but her face was

He's white and doesn't look like a normal person.

"What's going on? Isn't the empress dead? Why are you here?" Just when everyone froze, Chu Xia broke the silence in the room.

Jing Yuan's eyes were as deep as the sea, and there were turbulent waves in his eyes. He stood in front of the bed in a daze, his eyes shifted from the woman to Yu Zhenzi, and he said coldly: "National Master, can you give me an explanation?"

With this tone and this title, anyone could tell that Jing Yuan was extremely sad and angry.

Yu Zhenzi's calm face also had a look of embarrassment, apology, guilt, and sadness.

He looked at the woman on the bed with regretful eyes, sighed deeply, and then said leisurely: "Now that you have discovered it, I won't hide it from you.

I knew something was wrong when my junior sister activated the secret passage. I built that passage for her because I was afraid that she would be in trouble in the future and could escape from there." In fact, he thought that if one day she regrets marrying that person,

Now that she is a man, she can come to him. He will always wait for her, but he can't say this to Jing Yuan. "When I got there, you had already escaped. Junior Sister, she wanted to prevent Chu Cangmo from taking her

As a bargaining chip to threaten you, I drank the poisoned wine. When I rushed there, it was already too late, and she only had her last breath left. She asked me to save you and help you complete your great cause. I couldn't bear her to die in peace, so

I agreed."

"So your Majesty, she... still went?" Chu Xia's eyes flashed with disappointment, thinking that the Imperial Master had revived her.

"Although she is not dead, she is still a living dead. I sealed her heart veins at that time to prevent her from dying on the spot. Over the years, I have been placing her on a bed of ice, using various medicinal materials and acupuncture to treat her.

Treatment, but there is still no improvement." Yuzhenzi was deeply upset. He thought in vain that he was very knowledgeable and nothing could trouble him, but he couldn't even save the person he really liked.

The cold air on Jing Yuan's body subsided slightly, and he stretched out his hand to touch his mother's pulse. The skin under his fingers was filled with ice, which made his fingers tremble. He calmed down and continued to probe. If it were an ordinary doctor, he might not be able to detect it at all.

, and only people with advanced martial arts skills can use their own internal power to enter the human body to explore bit by bit.

Even so, he could only detect a weak pulse, like a candle in the wind that would burst at any time.

Withdrawing his hand, Jing Yuan's face became more solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He always thought that his father and mother were gone, and he was the only one left alone in the world. But not

How could he not be upset knowing that his mother was still alive?

Chu Xia also looked at Yu Zhenzi. If he said that he had no selfish intentions towards his empress, he would not believe it even if he beat her to death. But would he really prevent mother and son from meeting each other just because of such selfishness?

I saw Yu Zhenzi's hands under her long sleeves clenched tightly into fists, and then slowly released them. She met the young man's eyes and said sternly: "This is also what your mother meant. She didn't want you to be distracted by her. And back then,

I also want to use this to stimulate you and make you work harder."

"Then what happened next? After I ascended the throne, the world became peaceful, why are you still unwilling to say anything?" Jing Yuan questioned coldly again.

"I thought about telling you, but your mother's body is getting weaker and weaker, and I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for much longer. Even if I tell you, it will only give you hope once, and then let you down. Such a result is not what your mother wants.

I saw it. And I still have a little bit of selfishness. I don’t want her to be buried in your royal mausoleum after she passes away. Her whole life will be trapped by the royal family, and I can’t let her die without being free."

Jing Yuan closed his eyes to hide all his emotions. When he opened his eyes again, he felt much calmer.

"Is there really no way?" It was really painful for him to see his mother, only to face her leaving again, with nothing he could do for her.

"You should know my medical skills. If I can't save him, I'm afraid no one in the world can save him." Yu Zhenzi reluctantly told a fact.

Chu Xia felt uncomfortable in her heart. She could feel the grief in Jing Yuan's heart, just like what happened ten years ago, happening again. She walked over and gently held his big hand, letting the warmth in her hand slowly pass to him.

, warm his heart.

Jing Yuan hugged her back and looked at the woman beside him. She was the only one he could hold on to now. She always gave him the most sincere warmth when he was most helpless.

"Who is the person buried in the imperial mausoleum?" Chu Xia suddenly remembered a very important question.

"It's Xia Xiang." This was not said by Yu Zhenzi, but by Jing Yuan. With Xia Xiang's feelings for his mother, he would probably do this for her.

Yu Zhenzi nodded in agreement. Chu Xia's eyes turned red and she almost shed tears. Such a loyal servant protects his master, this kind of love is really rare in the world. Junqu Pavilion

"Master, you have other ways, right? As a son of man, I can't just watch my mother leave. This makes me feel so embarrassed. Master, please tell me, what should I do? No matter what the price is."

Jing Yuan looked at his master, with more prayers in his eyes. He couldn't lose anything anymore, whether it was his mother or Chu Xia, he would try his best to keep them because they were the most important women in his life.

After a long silence, Yuzhenzi did not speak. He seemed to be hesitating whether he should say anything or not.

Seeing that his expression seemed promising, both of them were moved in their hearts and looked at Tamako Mako expectantly.

Time passed minute by minute, and Tamaki made a difficult decision in her heart. In the end, under their pleading eyes, she could only compromise.

"It's not that there's no way, it's just..."

"Master, please speak quickly." Jing Yuan rushed to Yu Zhenzi impatiently and begged.

"Yes, Imperial Master, just tell us. If he can be saved but not saved, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life. Imperial Master, don't you want your mother to wake up as soon as possible and get together with us as soon as possible?" Chu Xia also came over and begged,

The husband sings and the wife follows suit truly.
