"Let him come to see me!"
The water flows continuously from beginning to end, and the water creates waves that slap on both sides of the bank, causing splashes of water. The wind blew across the water, reflecting the shadows of willow trees, together with some people.
"Your Majesty, Li Zhao has fulfilled his mission and found Afang."
Li Zhao didn't know that the emperor was in Afang Palace. After returning to Shanglin Garden, he immediately came to Afang Palace to check and see how the project was being built. Unexpectedly, he was intercepted by Shang Xin and led here.
By the Dianshui River.
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, a trace of expectation appeared in his brows, but he couldn't bear to ask directly. He just watched the stream of water flowing and getting further away.
Li Zhao did not disturb him anymore and stood quietly aside, accompanying him silently.
He knew that the emperor must have a lot to ask about his mother at this moment, but he didn't know how to ask. This kind of psychology was contradictory.
But he was not in a hurry, knowing that when the emperor wanted to ask, he would definitely ask.
The emperor's gaze seemed to be fixed under the willow tree. The willow branches swayed lightly, stirring the water surface, but could not lift the torrential water.
"It has been more than ten years. I have been waiting for more than ten years. Is she okay?"
Finally, the emperor asked.
"My mother is very good, but"
"But what?" The emperor looked a little anxious and turned his head suddenly to look at Li Zhao.
"She lost a lot of weight."
The emperor was silent for a long time.
"It's hard on her."
In just a few words, he expressed his sadness.
"My mother is suffering a little bit. She has no maids to serve her, no family to accompany her. She is all alone, planting her flowers and raising her medicines."
"She still likes it like this. It has not changed at all after so many years." The emperor couldn't help but sigh and looked up at the sky, endless thoughts wandering around, as if he was stuck in beautiful memories.
"I am incompetent and failed to bring my mother back."
Li Zhao blamed himself a little, but Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "I don't blame you, she has a very stubborn temper, and no one can influence her on the things she decides."
Li Zhao felt a little relieved. He didn't mention this matter for a long time when he faced the emperor just now, just because he was afraid of the emperor's reproach. But he could also see that the emperor knew his mother very well, and they must have a deep past!
However, with such a connection, and the emperor also knew the approximate whereabouts of my mother, why didn't he go look for her? But it is a bit unreasonable to let myself find it.
Compared to him and Yin Man, if he knew where Yin Man was, he would definitely go look for it as soon as possible.
Maybe there is no comparison between the two! Perhaps there are too many unknowns hidden in their past, or there may be estrangement and guilt. It is not easy for Li Zhao to guess this. All he can do is to tell His Majesty what he knows and let him know about his mother's situation.
"But my mother was kind-hearted and cured many people. She became what people call her a young girl."
"Qingnu?"
The emperor didn't have much reaction at first, but when he suddenly heard the word "green girl", his reaction was a little strong and he turned around almost instantly.
This reaction is too exaggerated.
Li Zhao paused, and the story of Qin Shi Huang and Qing Nu that he had read in his previous life came to mind again.
I thought to myself: Is this story true? Is Qingnv really related to him? Did they really give birth to a daughter?
This thing is a bit bizarre, but the emperor's reaction is so intriguing.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely break the casserole and ask the truth. After all, it involves Yin Man and the 'Impermanence of Young Women', but the person in front of him is the emperor, so he can't force it.
"Exactly, my grandmother lives on the top of the Seven Peaks, and there is the Qingnv Temple on it, so the name Qingnv comes from."
After hearing this, the emperor's reaction became even stronger. He grabbed Li Zhao's hand tightly and asked eagerly: "Why is it called Qingnv Temple? Was it built by Afang?"
"No, it happened a long time ago. My mother is just staying here."
"Already?" Ying Zheng fell into deep thought, his face was a little ugly, and he seemed to be surrounded by deep anxiety.
"Your Majesty, what's the problem?"
Seeing that the emperor's expression was wrong, Li Zhao's heart twitched and he asked quickly. When it comes to his mother, he cannot be indifferent.
"No, no." The emperor realized that he had lost his composure, quickly adjusted his mind, and shook his head, but the shaking of his head seemed so inadequate.
"So good!"
Li Zhao knew that the emperor must be hiding something, but he couldn't ask further questions, but his heart was clenching. At the moment, his only relatives are his uncle and his mother. If anything goes wrong with them, he will never forgive himself.
My uncle was in Shanglinyuan, so there was no need to worry, but my mother became even more worried when she saw the emperor's face like this again.
However, if the emperor doesn't say anything, he can only trick it out.
"Your Majesty, there is a reason why my mother refuses to leave Pei County. She seems to be waiting for someone. That person should be very important to her."
This is not entirely a routine. Judging from my mother's reaction at the time, she seemed to be hoping for something, and if she could live there for ten years, she would be more likely to wait for someone.
The emperor's reaction was still so strong that he jumped up, his eyes showing an opaque light.
"Who is A Fang waiting for?"
