Shen Fei listened to the Empress Dowager talking about the late emperor as if listening to a story.
Because she didn’t know that person, she didn’t have a strong sense of empathy.
To sum up, the late emperor's childhood was quite difficult.
The late emperor was the third emperor of the Yu Dynasty. After the ancestors of the Chu family conquered the country, Taizu died within a few years of his reign.
The person who succeeded to the throne was not Taizu's legitimate son, but his third son Chu Wenzhao.
When Chu Wenzhao first succeeded to the throne, the situation in the court was still very turbulent.
He didn't have much energy to focus on the harem, and the late emperor Chu Chengyan didn't get much attention, plus his biological mother died young.
Children living in the harem, without the care of their mothers and concubines, can be bullied by palace maids and eunuchs.
"When the Ai family entered the palace for the first time, they met the late emperor. He was really not as fat as me!"
The Queen Mother sighed.
Shen Fei answered and asked: "What happened next? How did you and the late Emperor meet? Did it fall in love at first sight?"
Shen Fei asked gossiping.
The Queen Mother was amused when Shen Fei asked, "No, Ai Jia was only six years old at that time. How could she fall in love with the late Emperor? He is as thin as a chicken."
Shen Fei: "..."
It’s bitter enough!
"The Aijia's aunt was Concubine Rong. Later, because the Aijia and the late emperor got acquainted, and the aunt often took care of the late emperor, his life became a little better."
Shen Fei understood that the late emperor most likely ascended the throne because he hugged the Rong family's lap.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to defeat other princes and ascend to the throne just relying on his own identity.
"The late emperor was also a friendly person!"
She was considered a conscientious person, and finally passed the throne to the prince and gave her the son she gave birth to.
Otherwise, I would really feel sorry for their Rong family.
The Queen Mother thought about it in her heart, but did not say this sentence.
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea. She had talked too much and was a little tired.
At this time, the old aunt beside the Queen Mother came over and said, "The Queen Mother, it's time for you to rest."
Shen Fei stood up immediately. When she saw the Queen Mother drinking tea, she felt that she should take the child away.
But this was the palace, and she didn't know how to bring it up without offending her.
Fortunately, an old nanny came to the rescue now, so she replied: "Empress Dowager, I will come to see you another day. Today I will take little Fubao away."
The Queen Mother took another look at Xiao Fubao and found that he looked a little depressed today.
The Queen Mother found it funny that such a young child could still have emotions.
She must have misunderstood.
"Ms. Shen, you have to treat this child well, do you understand?"
Shen Fei felt that the Queen Mother's order was strange. This was her cub, so she would naturally treat him well.
But she doubted it in her heart, and she would not show it stupidly, "Please don't worry, Queen Mother."
When Shen Fei left with little Fubao in her arms, she also took the reward given to little Fubao by the Queen Mother before leaving.
As the Queen Mother gets older, she likes to think about the past. What she can remember now seems to be the good side of the past.
As for the foolish things the late Emperor did in his old age, the Queen Mother selectively forgot them.
I remember it all happened when she was a teenager, that's why she attached so much importance to Xiao Fu Bao.
Looking at Xiao Fubao made the Queen Mother feel less empty.
Shen Fei held the child in her arms and sat in the soft sedan, still a little confused.
She knew a lot about the late emperor, and she could tell Tang Zhiling about it as gossip when she got back.
But she was a little strange as to why the Queen Mother would tell these things to an outsider like her.
I always feel it is inexplicable.
Shen Fei didn't know that it was her son's little face that brought back memories of the Queen Mother.
At this time, little Fu Bao was nestled in Shen Fei's arms. Shen Fei tightened her arms and said, "Zai Zai, do you like mother so much?"
Shen Fei felt her son's dependence and kissed little Fu Bao on the forehead, "What a great boy."
Xiao Fubao looked at Shen Fei's face with wet eyes and smiled.
Shen Fei felt that her heart was about to melt. This boy is so good.
Then he kissed Xiao Fubao's left and right cheeks and said, "Zai Zai, mother promises that you won't let anyone bully you."
Shen Fei didn't have deep feelings about the late emperor's affairs, but she knew that he lost his mother and had no maternal love, so he was a poor child.
Shen Fei felt that she also had to live well, so she patted Xiao Fubao on the back and murmured to herself: "I have to live well myself, by the way, and so does your father. Our family is all well."
Xiao Fu Bao: "..."
Little Fu Bao smiled, showing a few millet-sized teeth, and nodded.
Then he hugged Shen Fei's neck, rested his little head on Shen Fei's shoulder, and followed Shen Fei's example, patting her back gently.
The mother and son were loving each other, but something unexpected happened to Tang Zhiling.
Tang Zhiling looked at the men in black who stopped his carriage and asked, "Who are you?"
The man in black glanced at Tang Zhiling and said, "The person who taught you a lesson."
After saying that, he waved his hand behind him.
Tang Zhiling chewed these words carefully, "teach a lesson" instead of "kill", which meant that the other party did not want his life, but he did not like his life that was too smooth.
It seems that he knows who sent this person.
"Are you people sent by Tang Zhixuan?"
The man in black was stunned for a moment, and without retorting, he shouted directly: "Do it."
So several men in black rushed over directly.
At this time, Wu Dan and Wu Yang also took action. Tang Zhiling could tell that these men in black were not the guards of the Tang Mansion. Although the skills of those people were not as good as Wu Dan and Wu Yang, they were still better than these men in black. high.
Soon, the man in black saw the weakness on his side.
So he glanced at Tang Zhiling and threw a hidden weapon.
Tang Zhiling felt something flying over and hurriedly avoided it, but he was not fast enough and was still shot into his arm.
When Wu Yang saw this, he started to kill them. After directly dealing with the two of them, he came to Tang Zhiling's side and said, "Sir, you are injured."
Tang Zhiling endured the pain and shouted: "Death blow, no one alive."
Seeing this, Wu Dan moved faster with his hands, the kind that kills with every move.
The man in black saw his own man lying on the ground and suffered a lot of losses. In addition, Tang Zhiling also planted his hidden weapon. He had poisoned the hidden weapon. It was impossible to say whether the man could survive.
They have finally completed their mission. "withdraw!"
The remaining men in black no longer wanted to fight and left one after another.
Wu Dan didn't chase him, because he was afraid that he was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. "Sir, how are you? Let's go back quickly and take you to the hospital."
Tang Zhiling endured the pain and said, "Okay!"
Wu Dan and Wu Yang helped Tang Zhiling onto the carriage, then tied the bodies of the men in black to the back carriage, intending to send them to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.
They also didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to assassinate a court official outside Chang'an City.
