Chapter 205 The Secret of the Mirror

Li Shunrong was carefully looking at the mirror that Li Zhang gave her. Her first feeling was that the mirror was so cold. In fact, when Li Zhang handed it to her, she noticed the strangeness of the mirror. The mirror was obviously taken out of Li Zhang's arms, but when Li Shunrong took it into her hand, she found that the mirror was extremely cold, as if it had just been taken out of ice.

In addition to the abnormal temperature, Li Shunrong also quickly recognized this mirror. This mirror should be the glass mirror that was popular throughout the palace before. It is said that it was obtained from the divine bird. The largest two sides were in the hands of Liu E and Miao Yuan. There were also several smaller mirrors that were awarded to other concubines in the palace. Li Shunrong had seen it once, so she could recognize it at a glance.

However, compared to the glass mirror that Li Shunrong had seen before, this mirror was made more exquisitely. On the surface, it looked like a very thin round and flat box. When she opened the box, she saw the mirror with the cover.

"Ah~" When the mirror was opened, Li Shunrong exclaimed in surprise, but then covered her mouth, then closed the mirror and turned her head to look around. Fortunately, she drove away everyone around her before, and she was the only one in the empty hall, so she was not afraid of being discovered.

At that moment, Li Shunrong opened the mirror again and saw two small lines of characters written in a brush on the mirror. The first line was "Auntie, take care of your health." Although Li Shunrong had guessed that Li Zhang knew about his relationship with him before, when he saw the word "Auntie" written on the mirror, he couldn't help but burst into tears. In the end, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and cried bitterly, but she didn't dare to make a sound, so as not to attract other people's attention.

However, Li Shunrong quickly calmed down and wiped her tears and looked at the second line of words. When she saw this line of words, she couldn't help but feel shocked because she saw that it said "The Great Empress is already fifty-six." Although there were only nine short words, Li Shunrong understood the meaning conveyed by Li Zhang from the literal form.

Speaking of which, Li Shunrong is only 36 years old this year, but Liu E is twenty years older than her. So for Li Shunrong, she doesn’t have to do anything at all, she just needs to live well. When Liu E dies, she will naturally have the opportunity to recognize Zhao Zhen and his son. This is also what Li Zhang wants to express when he leaves words on the mirror.

Looking at the two short lines of words on the mirror, Li Shunrong burst into tears again excitedly. Although the meaning of Li Zhang's words is very simple, it means a lot to her, because since she gave birth to Zhao Zhen, her life has fallen into an endless torture. Even when she saw Zhao Zhen, the mother and son could not recognize each other. What's even more terrifying is that she didn't know when this kind of life would last. In this endless torment, she slowly lost hope.

For a person, the most terrible thing is not death, but living without hope. The desperate and numb life is even more terrifying than death. However, Zhao Zhen’s short two lines of words now bring hope to Li Shunrong, and at the same time let her know that there are relatives outside who care about her. In addition, she just saw Zhao Zhen, which immediately burst out with a strong desire to survive. No matter what, she must live. As long as she can recognize Zhao Zhen, she will be willing to die the next day.

At this moment, the two lines of words on the mirror gradually became blurred, because the mirror was originally very cold, and it was nothing to cover the box before, but when the box was opened, a layer of water mist slowly condensed on the mirror, and the handwriting slowly melted in the water mist, and finally turned into a ball of ink. In this way, no one else could see the words on the mirror except Li Shunrong.

Seeing the handwriting on the mirror slowly disappearing, Li Shunrong was also very surprised. On the one hand, she was shocked by Li Zhang's meticulous thoughts, and on the other hand, she was also amazed by Li Zhang's intelligence. Even the design to make the handwriting disappear was so clever. It seems that her nephew is indeed a person with exquisite abilities. No wonder Liu E rushed to recognize him as a relative?

After seeing Li Zhang's methods for the first time, Li Shunrong was more confident in her nephew. She stopped her tears and took out her handkerchief to wipe the ink on the mirror. This also allowed her to see her face in the mirror. She was indeed much older than when she entered the palace, but it didn't matter. She was younger than Liu E and had enough capital to compare with the other party to see who could laugh to the end?

Thinking of the above, Li Shunrong couldn't help but feel full of fighting spirit. She looked at her appearance carefully in the mirror, and then carefully put it away. However, when she saw the chair Zhao Zhen had just sat on and the tea bowl Zhao Zhen used on the coffee table, her face also showed a sad look again.

At the same time, Li Zhang returned to his residence in the imperial tomb wearing the clothes given by Li Shunrong. In fact, he and Zhao Zhen lived in the same palace, but the room was different. It was already noon. Zhao Zhen asked him to prepare lunch, while Li Zhang used the excuse of changing clothes and returning to his room, and then took out the ice box hidden in his arms. Before, he put the mirror and the ice box together to reduce the temperature of the mirror.

"Huh~, it's really not easy. I hope my aunt can understand what I mean, relax and live well, and never die early like in history!" Li Zhang threw away the ice box and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zhang wanted Li Shunrong to recognize Zhao Zhen, and of course he had his own selfish intentions. After all, if Li Shunrong was there, his relationship with Zhao Zhen would be closer, so that Zhao Zhen would trust him more, so that he could get Zhao Zhen's full support when he wanted to do something.

However, in addition to his own selfishness, Li Zhang also hopes that Zhao Zhen and Li Shunrong and his son will not have any regrets. After all, they are their own relatives. Especially after spending time together, Zhao Zhen has always treated him as his cousin. He has never changed anything because of being an emperor. People have feelings, and Li Zhang is no exception. Therefore, he sincerely hopes that Zhao Zhen will not leave too much regrets in his life.
