It was dark all of a sudden that day, as if nothing had been done and nothing could be done.

Especially for those who are on the last day of their lives, they hope that this day will be slower.

The Forbidden City seems to be much empty. History will not record this day, let alone record the people who disappeared within this day.

They are human beings, but under absolute power, they are not worthy of leaving any trace of ink.

History will not record it. During this day, many people disappeared silently among the two official offices of the Patrol Army and Yingtian Prefecture.

It will not be possible to record the fate of these people.

~~

Forbidden City, Wuying Hall.

Sandalwood surrounds, covering half of Zhu Yunxiu's face.

He was the only one in the empty hall. He knelt on the bright yellow cushion and stared blankly at the portrait of Emperor Taizu Gao who was worshipped on the wall.

The old man in the portrait is lifelike and powerful without anger. Next to the old man is Zhu Biao with a gentle face and the dignified and elegant Queen Ma.

"Grandpa!" Zhu Yunxiu said slowly, "It was not until now that grandson understood that what you said before, killing people is more difficult than living people! It was only now that you understood why you always told grandson that no one in the world could believe it! Why did you tell grandson that you would kill people when you want to kill people, even if you feel uncomfortable in the future, you would still kill them!"

As he said that, he leaned over and kowtowed, with a little choking, "Grandpa, grandson feels uncomfortable..."

Suddenly, slight steps came from behind him, and Park Wuyong knelt behind Zhu Yunxiu, "Master, you're all quick!"

"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxiu wiped his eyes with his sleeve, looked up at the old man's portrait, and smiled, "Grandpa, don't blame your grandson!"

After saying that, get up!

On both sides of the deep corridor of the Forbidden City, the red walls are covered with lights and figures.

Zhu Yun-yu is in front, while Park is useless behind.

Later, there were Chang Sheng, who was full of expressionless and fully armed, and a team of guards.

Starting from Wuying Palace, passing through Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, and then passing through the East Six Palaces.

In the past, the more people walked into the depths of the Forbidden City, the more people they were. But today, the empty Forbidden City seemed like a heart-wrenching cemetery.

After passing the East Six Palaces, it is the West Six Palace where the concubines of the late emperor live.

This palace consists of six courtyards of different sizes, the largest of which is called Yongning.

Since the old man passed away, Concubine Guo Taihui has lived here. The name of the palace was changed to Yongning, which also echoes the Yong'an Palace where the old man once lived.

The gate of Yong'an Palace was empty and the door was open.

Standing outside, you can see the vague lights inside.

No matter how exquisite the palace is, it is just a dead object. The carved beams and painted buildings are just a flash of scenery.

"Master!" Pu Wuyong took a few steps forward and whispered, "Buddhist Hall!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded silently and continued to move forward.

This time he seemed to have no one to bring, just taking Park with him is useless.

~~

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

Outside the Buddhist temple, the sound of wooden fish can be clearly heard, and a faint Buddha fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose.

It is said that this kind of Buddha incense was made by the monks from the Great Buddha Temple in Sichuan, who were originally in Sichuan, and presented it to the Forbidden City for worshipping Buddha.

A thin figure knelt devoutly in front of the Buddha statue, closing his eyes and reciting scriptures.

Zhu Yunxiu didn't say anything, but walked over slowly and silently, standing at the door, watching quietly.

"She is really old!"

Zhu Yunxiu thought to himself that Concubine Guo Hui always looked elegant and luxurious in the past, and her every move was noble.

Old, seemingly far away from her.

This may be related to her fate. From her life, she was a spoiled daughter, held in her hand. In that chaotic world where people were slaughtering people, she was not affected, but also because her father was the leader of the Red Turban Army, she enjoyed the wealth of the world.

Then, she married a good husband, and she was always a person living in heaven throughout her life.

But now...

The hair is completely white, the skin on the face is loose and falling, wrinkles are stacked like gullies, and the blood vessels are clearly visible, and they are old and erect.

The back is even more silly.

"The emperor is here!"

Suddenly, Concubine Guo Hui put down the wooden fish in her hand, closed a string of rosary with her hands, and turned around with a smile, "How come you have time to see me, the old woman?"

Her smile still remains so kind.

At this moment, Zhu Yunxiu really wanted to rush over and questioned loudly...

But he held back.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, let's see if you are fine!" Zhu Yunxi smiled hard.

"What's so good or not!" Guo Huifei didn't move, but still knelt in front of the Buddha statue and said with a smile, "It's just waiting for that day!" As she said, she smiled again, "I'm always dreaming of Emperor Taizu these days. I wonder if I'm going to go with him. Alas, when he left, I should have followed! Otherwise, as for being so lonely, I can only be with the Buddha!"

"You know that I have always treated you well. I am also your relative!" Zhu Yunsheng said, "Why are you so pessimistic?"

"Ha!" Concubine Guo Hui smiled faintly, "Have you eaten?" As she said that, she turned her head to the Buddhist temple and ordered, "Take the freshly cooked lotus seeds and tremella soup to the emperor!"

Then, he turned to look at Zhu Yunxiu, "I remember when the emperor was a child, he liked to eat the tremella soup I made the most. When you were eight years old, you came to my palace again. Because you didn't eat it, you got angry and lay on the ground and rolled around! No one could persuade him!"

"Later, the prince came, and you were so scared that you hid behind me again." As he said that, Concubine Guo Hui laughed happily, "That time, if I hadn't stopped you, the prince would have beaten you!"

"Eight years old!" Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly, "I don't remember it!"

Yes, he doesn't remember.

It’s not that he doesn’t remember it, but that old things are not his memories at all.

At this time, a nanny brought up ten thousand tremella soup.

The nanny was also very old. Zhu Yunxiu remembered that when Concubine Guo Hui gave him things, they were all handled by this nanny.

Now, although the nanny had a smile on her face, her hands kept shaking.

Park Wuying wanted to step forward, but was scolded by Zhu Yunxi's eyes.

He sat down casually and held the Tremella soup in his hand.

"Why don't the emperor eat?" Guo Huifei smiled.

"I want to eat it again!"

"Do you still want to eat?" Guo Huifei smiled again, "Can I poison you?" As she said that, she looked at Zhu Yunxiu with love and kindness, "I raised you!"

"Yes, you raised me!"

Although many memories are not Zhu Yunyu's memories, many things can be ignored without emotion.

But over the years...

But...

In an instant, Zhu Yunxi's tears fell and dripped into the tremella soup.

He picked up the spoon and took a bite, which was sweet but also bitter.

"You raised me!" Zhu Yunxiu repeated this sentence as if he was a little unsightly.

Then his hands also trembled and looked at Concubine Guo Hui, "I was raised by you. In my heart, I treat you as my grandmother."

"I know! You are a good child!" Guo Huifei smiled.

"Then why..." Zhu Yunxi suddenly shouted, "Why, even you want to harm me?"

Huh, a gust of wind poured in.

The Buddha's fragrance suddenly disappeared.

Concubine Guo Hui was still smiling and still kind, "The Emperor also said, I raised you!" As she said that, she lowered her head, "It's rare, you still remember this sentence, I still remember that I once raised you!"

The next second, she suddenly looked up with tears in her eyes, "But, I raised you once, what did you give me?"

"Since you remember that I raised you and remember how kind I treated you, but are you really good to me?" As he said that, Concubine Guo Hui smiled sadly, "Your Majesty! I have no father, brother, mother, uncle, and later sister, and then husband!"

"You see I have everything in my life, but do you know what I actually have in my life?"

"I only have three sons! I begged you a long time ago. For the sake of I raise you, treat them well. But what about you! Your Majesty, I only have these three sons whom I beg you!"

"They are the flesh that fell from me, my life, and the only reason why I pretend to know nothing in my life and survive with a forced smile!"

"I didn't kill them!" Zhu Yunxiong growled.

"You might as well kill them!" Concubine Guo Hui's voice was still faint, as if she was telling something irrelevant, "One of you seized power and was unemployed in the capital, and two were banned in the ancestral tomb of Sizhou! As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner!"

"If you remember that I raise you in your heart, even if they really hit you, can't you take my respect and give them a decent look?"
