Chapter 557 Tell the World(1/2)
Oh, by the way, there was another time when he was sick and had a high fever. My father seemed to stay up all night applying a wet handkerchief to him to cool him down.
The emperor was in a daze. Why did he remember it like this? He had never remembered it in these years. Why did those beautiful things seem so clear and real at this moment?
Has he ever received the paternal love from his father?
As a father, it seems that my father is much more qualified than when he was a father.
When did all this change?
Well, it should have changed since the year Xiao Tingyan was born.
It wasn't that his father's love for him had changed, but that his own mentality had undergone a huge change because of Xiao Tingyan's birth.
He always thought that his father doted on Concubine Chen, so he must have a strong preference for Concubine Chen's son. When his father was a little more kind to Xiao Tingyan, he felt that there was no one else in his eyes but Xiao Tingyan.
Gradually he became jealous.
I started to feel uneasy.
As a result, he selectively failed to see his father's love for him.
His heart and eyes were full, all he saw and cared about was his father's love for Xiao Tingyan.
Originally, his father had told him that he would hand over the empire of Nanchu to him in the future.
He also said that he should protect Xiao Tingyan.
His father said that he was an older brother and should protect his younger brother well. At that time, although he agreed with his lips, what he was thinking about was how to get rid of Xiao Tingyan.
After Xiao Tingyan had an accident and almost died, his father's attitude towards him cooled down. The next day, he made Xiao Tingyan king and gave him the power of 100,000 troops in the North.
From that day on, their father-son relationship completely changed.
Later, when he heard that his father had drafted an imperial edict to confer Xiao Tingyan as emperor, he could no longer bear it and chose to attack Concubine Chen, thereby inducing the toxin hidden in his father's body.
Yes, there are toxins in my father's body for a long time.
He had asked someone to do it a long time ago.
He has long been ambitious and has long thought about plotting to usurp the throne.
Recalling the past, the emperor's face gradually became painful.
He covered his face and sobbed.
"So it turned out that I was wrong in all this?"
"Father's love for me has never changed. I am the one who has changed. I became suspicious and jealous because of Xiao Tingyan's birth..."
"It is because of my change that my father saw the flaws in my character, right? That's why he planned to give me the throne and changed his mind before giving it to Xiao Tingyan, right? Father, is this what his son did? Why did I disappoint you? Did you hate and be disappointed in me before you died?"
Xiao Tingyan stood aside and remained silent.
He remained silent and no one knew what he was thinking.
Yun Luan looked at it and was very worried. She held his hand tightly.
Xiao Tingyan looked at Yun Luan, and the ends of his eyes were stained with scarlet.
He held Yun Luan's hand tightly, then pulled her away from the suffocating hall.
Xiao Xuanmo raised his eyes slightly and looked at the man and woman walking out in a daze.
The queen noticed something strange about him, and she couldn't help but be slightly startled.
She followed her son's gaze, and a hint of fear flashed through her eyes.
She touched his arm gently: "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Xuanmo quickly came to his senses and shook his head at the queen.
"I didn't see anything...Mother, let's go back to the palace."
The queen nodded.
She raised her eyes and looked at the emperor who was in pain. There was no longer any emotion or fluctuation in her eyes.
She and this man finally reached the point where they became strangers.
There shouldn't be any affection between them as husband and wife.
Now, he has fallen into this situation.
Apart from hatred, she had no other emotions in her heart.
She would not plead with Xiao Tingyan to let the emperor go.
For her, if the emperor dies, the grievances she has accumulated for many years will be released very well.
Xiao Xuanmo supported the queen and slowly turned around and left.
The two people walked out of Chengxin Palace in silence.
The queen suddenly asked Xiao Xuanmo: "Mo'er, I hope you understand that you should not stick to trivial matters in everything. The most important thing for you now is to be down-to-earth, work for the people and seek welfare. It is not your place to think about, it is not your place You must not get contaminated by it."
"Now it is different from before. When I knew that your father's throne was taken from King Yan, I thought that sooner or later, the throne would return to King Yan. We We have no grievances with the King of Banquets, and if we are peaceful enough, he should not treat us badly."
"We have no power, and all we can do is to rely on King Yan. Therefore, I hope that you will not get into trouble, open your eyes, and do not go against King Yan."
Xiao Xuanmo couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled after hearing this.
His eyes were shining brightly as he looked at the Queen.
"My mother's thoughts coincide with those of my son. If you think so, my mother, I will feel relieved. As long as the emperor does not dislike me and allows me to assist him and do things for the people, my son will be satisfied."
"Everything should be returned to its original place. Things that do not belong to me, I will naturally not think about. Since I was a child, I have not had much ambition or expectation for that position, so the mother can rest assured that I, Chen I won’t be confused and won’t fight with the emperor’s uncle for anything.”
"Besides, even if I wanted to fight for it, I don't have the ability."
The queen's heart was completely relieved.
Originally, she was still a little obsessed with the throne.
But after so many things happened, she almost died. If King Yan hadn't taken action and warned her to avoid danger in advance, she would have become a pair of bones that would be burned to ashes.
People, you should know how to be grateful.
If you don't know how to be grateful, what's the difference between you and an animal?
This throne was originally what the late emperor wanted to leave to King Yan.
Everything now is just returned to its original owner.
Therefore, the thoughts in her heart gradually dissipated.
Xiao Xuanmo sent the queen back to Luanfeng Palace. Mother and son rarely had free time, so they talked for a while and had lunch.
After lunch, the queen asked Xiao Xuanmo to go to work.
There must be many things going on in the DPRK and China.
They had accepted King Banquet's kindness, so naturally they had to think of ways to repay him.
——
Xiao Tingyan held Yun Luan's hand. After leaving Chengxin Palace, he took her to the palace where Concubine Chen used to live.
This palace is closest to Chengxin Palace, and the interior of the palace is also the most exquisite and luxurious.
There is also a huge courtyard. Although the courtyard is deserted, it is not difficult to see that if it is properly tidied up, it will become a unique small garden.
Xiao Tingyan looked at everything in the courtyard, and his memory slowly returned to his childhood.
He raised his hand and pointed to the west corner of the courtyard: "I still remember that at that time, my mother-in-law had a swing in this place. Every day, she would sit on the swing with a book and just rock it gently. shake."
"Many times, I sat in her arms and played with her on the swing. Aluan, I'm afraid you don't know that your mother was working next to my mother-in-law at that time. The security affairs of this palace were all It’s your mother who helps my mother-in-law take care of things..."
"They seem to have a very good relationship. They often sit together, chat and have meals. Although your mother is very respectful to my mother-in-law, she treats her as a younger sister. I clearly remember that my mother-in-law laughed and teased your mother, saying If one day, she marries General Yun and gives birth to a child, if it is a girl, she hopes that the two families can arrange a baby marriage..."
Yun Luan glanced at Xiao Tingyan in surprise. She did not expect that her mother actually knew Concubine Chen.
Why has she never heard her mother talk about this matter?
It turns out that there is still this connection between her and Xiao Tingyan?
"How old was my mother at that time? She probably didn't know my father yet, right?" Yun Luan said in disbelief.
Xiao Tingyan took her into his arms and laughed softly: "I remember that your mother was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time. My mother-in-law was very close to her and treated her as a younger sister."
Yun Luan blinked and looked at Xiao Tingyan with some curiosity: "Could it be that you had met my mother when you were a child?"
Xiao Tingyan shook his head, he held her face, with a bit of lust in his eyes, lowered his head and kissed Yun Luan's lips.
Suddenly I wanted to kiss her and get closer to her.
The kiss was lingering, and each other's breaths intertwined. After a while, Yun Luan was panting and fell softly into his arms.
Xiao Tingyan hugged her waist tightly and held her in his arms.
At this moment, I wish I could completely become one with her.
I don’t know how long it took, but he finally kissed enough and gave Yun Luan some time to breathe. His thin lips were close to her ear and he murmured in a low voice: "I really want to marry you now, I really want you to , become my woman today.”
Yun Luan's cheeks were flushed, and her face was full of spring color... She looked extremely charming!
