Chapter 221: Emperor's Heart
It was almost dawn that the king finally took care of the state affairs that had piled up these days.
As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, someone gently pressed his temple and rubbed him.
The king was stunned, although the other party's gesture was very comfortable, but he frowned, and said in a slightly unhappy voice: "Which palace are you from?" ”
Ryujin pursed her lips and didn't speak.
"This king is asking you!" The king's brow furrowed, and he rudely and vigorously threw out the man standing behind him.
Liuzhen was caught off guard, and hit the hard corner of the table on her waist, and she screamed in pain, and then staggered back untenably, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.
"You...... Ryujin? How did you end up here! The king, who had wanted to be angry, was stunned for a moment when he saw the man who had fallen to the ground, and then frowned tightly.
Because of the pain in her waist, Liuzhen's face turned a little pale, she bit her lip and lowered her slightly red eyes, "I want to come to plead with my father." ”
"Do you think this king will be soft-hearted?" The king snorted coldly, and there was no trace of warmth in his stern eyes, "Moreover, this king seems to have ordered that you are not allowed to leave the princess's mansion without the consent of this king!" ”
"Yes! I have violated your orders! I also know that you are not a person who will be soft because of family affection! Ryujin became emotional, and she jerked her head up, revealing her already tearful eyes.
"But father, that's your own son!" Liuzhen got up from the ground and knelt on the ground with a very humble posture, "Father, how good Shimmer is, how much I want your approval, even if I don't say it. You know that...... Would such a son really do such a rebellious thing as plotting to usurp the throne? ”
"As an emperor, the last thing you want is to be soft-hearted. If he had been the son of this king, he would have done such a thing. But the king was not moved.
"Father!" Ryujin shouted, the expression on her face was very complicated, like sadness and sympathy, "Father, please don't look at Shimmer like this...... He looks sharp like a hedgehog though. But it's a child with a knife mouth and a tofu heart...... Moreover, please don't look at yourself like this, for the people of Liuli Country. You are a good king for the country and the people. ”
The queen died because of the king, and everyone in the country knew about it, and Ryujin also resented the king because of this incident.
But, even so. There's no denying it. Among the kings' roles as sons, husbands, fathers, and emperors of a country, the most outstanding is the emperor of a country.
He is not a good son, not a good husband, not a good father, but as long as he is a good king, then for the Liuli country, for the people of the Liuli country, even if he has a hundred kinds of mistakes, what does it matter?
The king was stunned for a moment. The eyes that looked at Ryujin deepened.
"Ryujin understands, even if Shimmer is your son. It's not as good as the status of Liuli Country in your heart, but ...... Please see that he is the child who once helped the woman who helped you fight for her life! Let him continue to live! Ryujin pleaded, tears streaming down her face.
"You don't love her, the queen mother always knows."
"You're just using her, and the queen mother has always known about it."
"In your heart, no one, even yourself, can compare to the position in your mind in Liuliguo...... The queen mother knows better than anyone else! ”
Ryujin lowered her eyes, tears falling, but the words she said shook the king.
"So, even when she was dying, she was saying to me, 'Forgive your father, because he is not only your father, but also the indispensable king of this country......"
Ryujin tilted her head, her eyes full of sadness blurred by tears, but she never looked away.
She looked straight at the king, and slowly leaned towards the king in a kneeling position, "Father, even in the moment before you die, the queen mother is waiting for you...... Even though she knows that you will not come, she still loves you from the bottom of her heart! ”
"So, Father, please! I beg you! Don't erase the life of the queen mother! ”
Kneeling at the king's feet, Ryujin slammed her head to the ground with a loud and heavy sound.
Her entire body was almost prostrate on the cold floor, and in the time she waited, Ryujin felt like years.
The king looked deeply at Ruzhen, who was kneeling on the ground, and in the depths of those vicissitudes of life and cold eyes, there was a complexity and depth that no one could understand.
Since the death of the queen, Ryujin has never taken the initiative to enter the palace.
He knew that Ryujin was hating him, hating him for killing the queen, her mother.
He also knew that Gu Yanshuo was arrested and imprisoned, and Liuzhen would definitely come to intercede, thinking that the other party would make a big fuss about the princess's mansion and clamoring to see him, but he never thought that she would sneak into the palace quietly and appear in front of him in such an unexpected way.
The two of them, father and daughter, have not seen each other for nearly ten years.
Since the death of the queen, it is not only Ryujin who is avoiding the king, but even the king is avoiding Ryujin.
Because...... Ryujin looked too much like the woman he owed so much.
Even if he puts Liuliguo first in his heart, he always cares about Liuzhen.
There is no one who doesn't care about their children, especially if Ryujin is his first child.
Since he was a child, he could see the shadow of that person from Liuzhen's voice and appearance, and now that Liuzhen has grown up, he is more similar to that person, and when he stood in front of him just now, he thought for a moment that he saw that person.
The look of the man with tears in his eyes made him the most uncomfortable, even if he didn't love her at first, even if he had the heart of use at the beginning, but people's hearts are made of flesh, and who can really not have feelings?
What's more, that person was originally an understanding, gentle and considerate woman......
What shocked him even more was that the person had always known his thoughts, but he had been tolerating him......
Only now did the king realize that he owed the queen more than he thought!
Her love, her heart, and her life...... Whatever there was, she gave it to him almost without reservation, but what about him?
In addition to putting her in the harem of open and secret fighting, what has he done for her?
"Let's go." The king turned, clasping his hands tightly behind his back so that no one could see the pain in his eyes.
At the beginning, he thought he didn't care, but he never realized that he had been spoiled, and it wasn't until he lost it that he realized that his beloved was no longer there.
Liuzhen raised her head in a panic, and saw the king turn his back, thinking that the other party was unwilling to forgive Gu Yanshuo, and suddenly burst into tears with excitement, "Father! Father! Please! Spare Shimmer! He's just a kid! He's just a kid! (To be continued.) )
