"My mother really wants to know who chose me?"

nonsense!

Queen Mother Tao wanted to know very much.

She knew that her son had been in poor health since she was a child. It was logical that the authority of the commander of the 19th Guards could not be taken to his eldest son no matter how he did.

unless……

Xiao Chengwen pursed his lips and smiled, "I won't hide it from my mother's queen. It was the emperor's grandfather who chose me and handed over the nineteen guards to me with his own hands."

"Impossible! How old were you at that time?"

As soon as Empress Dowager Tao counted the time, she believed that her eldest son had deceived him.

Xiao Chengwen shook his head slightly, "I don't have a lie. It's true that the emperor's grandfather chose me."

Empress Dowager Tao covered her heart, "How is it possible? How could Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping appointed you as the heir to the 19th Guards when you were so young? You deceived me."

Xiao Chengwen lowered his head and smiled, "I wonder if my mother remembers that one year I was seriously ill. The emperor's grandmother felt sorry for me and took me to the palace to raise her body. She had been raising her for about three months. In fact, in those three months, my son had been undergoing the assessment. After passing the assessment, the emperor's grandfather appointed me as the heir to the 19th Guards."

It was so early that Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping chose his eldest son as the heir to the 19th Guards.

But she, as a mother, knows nothing.

She laughed, "You have been hiding this palace for so many years! You actually... how old were you at that time, how old were you, how old were you, how could you keep the secret?"

Xiao Chengwen whispered, "If I could not keep the secret, I would have died of serious illness at that time."

Empress Dowager Tao was shocked and her face changed.

She took a deep breath and calmed down, "Tell me, do your father know this? Do your father also know that you are the heir to the nineteenth guard?"

Xiao Chengwen thought for a while before saying, "The father must have guessed the truth in the last two or three years."

"Since he guessed your identity, why do he still dislike you and refuse to accept your opinion?"

"Why should the queen mother ask me knowingly? Of course, the father is because of fear and suspicion. He doubts that everything that happened was deliberately guided by the nineteenth guards. It has to be said that the father has too deep prejudice against the nineteenth guards. If he is willing to trust me, the situation may be different."

"Hahaha……"

Empress Dowager Tao laughed loudly, and her heart suddenly became happy, especially happy.

After laughing, she said, "Of course your father will not trust you! Who told you to hide it from the beginning and refuse to reveal the truth. If you confess your identity when your father ascended the throne, you will confess your identity. The Nineteen Guards will let your father send you, and your father will naturally trust you and use you with respect. Maybe even the throne will be handed over to you. Hahaha... You are arrogant and smart, but your wisdom is wrong."

Xiao Chengwen is particularly frank and calm.

What kind of throne and trust cannot touch his heart.

He said calmly, "My mother is wrong! As a person from the Nineteen Guards, the most important requirement is to keep confidentiality. His ability may be insufficient, but as long as he can keep the secret, he can still become a person from the Nineteen Guards. This is also the fundamental reason why the Nineteen Guards can survive and continue to survive over the years.

Today, I confess my identity to my mother. Soon, the nineteenth guards will have a new heir. At that time, everything about the nineteenth guards will be hidden deep in the dark again, and even I will not know it."

Empress Dowager Tao was choked and felt uncomfortable all over.

She covered her heart, "Tell me honestly, have you never thought about the throne? Have you never thought about being the emperor yourself?"

Xiao Chengwen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Maybe there has been one. When I was sure that my health would not be cured, I had never had such a thought."

That's what it is!

That's what it is!

Hahaha……

Empress Dowager Tao laughed loudly, tears came out of her eyes, "It was me who misunderstood you. I didn't expect you to be unfaithful to the throne, hahaha..."

She couldn't stop laughing, and the more she smiled, the more she felt uncomfortable.

After a long time, the laughter has disappeared.

She asked him softly, "Have you chosen the heir?"

Xiao Chengwen shook his head, "You cannot tell me about this matter, please forgive me for my mother."

Empress Dowager Tao smiled and said, "I know! Don't worry, from now on, I will not act willful and let my private relationship blind our eyes. I will do my best to help the emperor and govern the Great Wei Dynasty. You will not hesitate to reveal your identity and remind me that I will naturally accept this love.

When you step down as the 19th Guard, remember to notify the palace. The emperor should continue to hide it from him! As you said, if he knows your identity, he will probably be stimulated."

"Thank you, my mother, for understanding! I won't disturb my mother's resting, say goodbye!"

"Wait a minute! Why didn't you stop your father from killing the princes and kings in the world?"

"How did the Queen Mother know that I was not stopping me? However, my father was bewitched and he was determined to do whatever he wanted. He couldn't stop him! The Nineteen Guards are not omnipotent, at least they can't control the will of my father!"

"Did the Nineteen Guards secretly cause this matter?"

"My mother misunderstood the Nineteen Guards again. The Nineteen Guards are not assassins and do not aim at killing people. The Nineteen Guards only do the right thing. If Situ Jin was sentenced to death, it was the right thing, then the Nineteen Guards had no choice. If Situ Jin's death was a mistake, the Nineteen Guards would never touch a finger."

Empress Dowager Tao looked confused.

So when Situ Jindi died, was it because the people from the 19th Guards secretly provoked the founder?

The late emperor gave Situ Jin to death, which triggered an opposition between officials of the aristocratic family and the imperial power, and the two sides fought to the death.

In order to deal with the advanced emperor, the aristocratic family did not hesitate to support the rebels. The rebels took the opportunity to become powerful, but they have not been completely wiped out yet.

It can be said that killing a Situ Jin caused some subsequent messy things.

Situ Jin is such a disaster!

First, he bewitched the former emperor and killed the princes of the world, and then was sentenced to death, and he would not stop even if he died...

It can be said that the series of changes in the court situation in recent years have been linked by Situ Jin alone.

He was like a thread, leading the court to an unknown ending.

Empress Dowager Tao tried to ask, "Why didn't you stop your father from killing Situ Jin?"

Xiao Chengwen solemnly said, "The nineteen guards do not have three heads and six arms, and they are not omnipotent. The queen does not need to test again, I can only say this."

After saying that, he bowed and turned and left.

Empress Dowager Tao was a little unwilling to give up, and she didn't even ask for any substantial content.

She knew that her eldest son was the commander of the nineteenth guard, what about something else?

Who else in this palace is from the nineteenth guard?

Young Master Mei was also taken down, and now she didn't even have anyone to speak to relieve her boredom.

It's really awesome!

Bang!

She slapped the table.

The imperial power was granted, and the decree was taken first and then the prologue was like a sharp sword hanging above her head.

She believed that if she had not been the queen mother or the mother, her eldest son had ordered her to be executed as the commander of the nineteenth guard.

This made her feel creepy, and she had no security at all in her life.

what to do?

What should I do?

...

Two days later, Mei Shaojian was sent back to Changle Palace.

Unscathed, but extremely poor in spirit, as if he was greatly stimulated.

When Empress Dowager Tao asked him what he had experienced, he was in a daze and couldn't even explain it clearly.

When he learned that only two days had passed, he was crying loudly, crying like a child.

Finally I felt the feeling of surviving the disaster.

Finally returned to normal life.

Empress Dowager Tao was frightened by the appearance of Young Master Mei, and no longer hesitated. She immediately ordered the rescinding order of Princess Chengyang.

...

Princess's Mansion.

Princess Chengyang lay tilted on the Arhat couch, looking sick.

The servant hurriedly reported, "Your Highness, good news, great news! The palace has lifted the confinement order, and your highness can enter the palace to visit the queen again."

Princess Chengyang suddenly sat up from the Arhat couch, and was in great spirits, so she didn't look sick at all.

It turns out that my sick look was all pretending to be for others to see.

She asked anxiously, "Did the emperor lift the confinement order?"

"It seems that it was the Queen Mother's decree that His Highness's confinement was lifted."

"How is that possible?"

Princess Chengyang doesn't believe it.

"Empress Dowager Tao is so a person who wants to save face. In just a few days, he actually took the initiative to lift the confinement order. What tricks are she playing? Do you want to humiliate me?"
