The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

A middle-aged woman dressed in a purple brocade collar cotton robe, not gorgeous, and looking very solemn, stood silently in front of the dragon case for a moment, and only spoke slowly after a long time: "Father, Hongdou has come back to see you." ”

It is Prime Minister Ji's wife An Hongdou, but it is more accurate to call Yao Hongdou.

"It's been more than ten years, and you still know how to go home?" Emperor Yao continued to review the folds, and he never raised his head to see that he missed him very much after decades of absence, and he was the most beloved daughter before.

"I haven't come back to visit my father for more than ten years, and it's because Hongdou is unfilial. Thanks to my father for releasing red beans and Ji Hong for a way out. Hongdou's eyes were suddenly hot and humid, but she held on to prevent tears from coming out of her eyes, her father taught her since she was a child to be strong, no matter when, cowardice is the most useless and deadly, even if she is bullied, she has to work hard to bully back, and this has long become a habit for her.

She fell to the ground on her knees with a pop, and in the past few decades, the person she is most sorry for is her father, who has always given nothing but to her.

"I've always been just for you, if it weren't for that, that kid would have died a thousand times a long time ago." Emperor Yao stopped the brush in his hand, raised his eyes to look at the stubborn and guilty person in front of him, still a solemn and solemn state, but there was a little more compassion and gloom in his eyes, and his body seemed to be much thinner under the wide robe at the moment, and at this moment he was more like an old man looking forward to the return of his children.

She knelt and never looked up, he stared at her without speaking, time seemed to stand still at this moment, the world seemed to stop moving at this moment.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Yao suppressed his sad expression, and still said in a solemn tone: "If I didn't revoke the arrest warrant back then, would you not want to come back to see me even if you die in a foreign land?" ”

"Back then, my father treated Ji Hong like a hate, and if he came back with his father's wishes, he would definitely not be able to live. If he dies, Hongdou will not survive," Hongdou raised his head with firm eyes, but when he saw Emperor Yao's slightly sad face in the vicissitudes of life, his heart seemed to be pricked by countless fine needles one by one, and he looked at each other quietly for a long time before continuing, "But before that, I will come back to take the blame and thank my father for more than ten years of nurturing and loving kindness." ”

"And now? Does that kid still hold the same place in your heart as before? Although Emperor Yao didn't believe it, he still asked a little unwillingly, this question has plagued him for decades, and although he has long known the answer, he is still troubled.

After hearing this, a little sadness flashed in Hongdou's eyes, and he closed his eyes and tried to calm down for a long time before he slowly opened his eyes, and still said firmly: "It has never changed, even if the **** wants to burn Mo'er, it has never changed." ”

She has never regretted the path she chose back then, and she still does today. Even if she had the opportunity to choose again, she still wouldn't change.

Yao Huang shook his head, she has always been so stubborn, like him, more like her. He seemed to question but more like self-deprecation and asked, "Then why are you still unwilling to have another son with him after so many years?" ”

"I'm ashamed of Mo'er, and it will take me a lifetime to pay it back." There are only two people she is most sorry for in her life, one is her father and the other is her son.

The sadness in Emperor Yao's eyes was even stronger, and he shook his head self-deprecatingly: "You have never said that you are ashamed of me." ”

"To my father, it is not worthy of the word right, since I was a child, my father has never treated me badly, gave me the best food, clothing, housing and transportation, invited me the most famous teacher, and anyone who dared to bully me half of my father doubled it back. The most sorry thing in my life is my father, even if I exhaust my life's time and energy to pay it back, it is far from enough. However, I am selfish, I met Ji Hong in this life, and between my father and me, I chose the former. Because of my father's kindness, I can only repay it in the next life, no one knows if there is a next life, I should be the most selfish person in the world. ”

Saying that, Hongdou paused, as if he thought of something interesting, his eyes were sad at any time, but he smiled playfully, although it did not match this age, but in his eyes it was extremely kind: "My father loves my mother all my life, and I love Ji Hong all my life, I will follow you." ”

"Haha, your ability to flamboyate is still undiminished," the heavy atmosphere seemed to be broken by this sentence, Yao Huang stroked his beard happily and said, "Say, why did you come from?" Don't say you're for me, I'm old, but I'm not confused. ”

Hongdou regained his expression and asked solemnly, "Father, does you know the identity of Luzhu, who has been living in the Prince's Mansion?" ”

"Mei, Yan, and clan." Yao Huang picked up the tea on the table, dialed the lid of the cup, and said word by word.

Seeing that he was not surprised at all, Xu already knew, which made her stunned, she looked at Emperor Yao for a moment before continuing: "Father recruited the green bead into the palace a few days ago and whipped it for a while, but now it is put back, which is not like my father's style of doing things. Let me guess that the means that can threaten the green beads and thus grasp Mo'er's movements is probably poison. ”

The tea in the cup was already warm, and Emperor Yao took a sip of it with enjoyment, and praised: "You are still so smart about ice and snow." ”

"But, father, this time you put the wrong chips, just like you did decades ago," Seeing Emperor Yao's calm and confident appearance, Hongdou shook his head and continued, "A year ago, Ji Hong poured a whole bottle of Heding Red into the belly of Green Bead for his lifelong belief and in order to block the road to recovery, wanting to destroy his biggest bargaining chip, but it didn't work, she was only in a coma for a few days, but she was still alive and kicking after that, but she lost her memory, but she didn't know if it was true or not. But what is certain is that the Mei people are not afraid of poison. Because that day, I hid behind the window, and saw a whole bottle of Heding Red poured into her belly, and afterwards, I took the empty bottle to the shop to ask, it was really Heding Red! And she is now also in front of her father's eyes, no different from ordinary people. ”

"Oh? I underestimated the girl. "Hongdou never lies, there is no doubt about this, otherwise he wouldn't have been so smooth when he hindered her and Ji Hong. But this result was something he didn't expect, he raised an eyebrow, incredulous, but when he thought about it, it felt reasonable.

"Now, Hongdou pleads with my father one more thing," Seeing that Emperor Yao did not refuse, she continued, "Can you ask your father not to interfere in Mo'er's affairs again, just like back then, not to impose your ideas." I know you're just trying to pave the way for Mo'er and not let him turn too much. However, this qiē is all based on the removal of feelings. I can see that Mo'er's feelings for Luzhu are not ordinary, and I don't want her to be the regret of Mo'er's life. ”

The person who treats her best in this world is her father, even Ji Hong is far behind, but she is probably the one who lives up to him the most.
