At night, in the emperor's bedroom, Concubine Ling was half-sitting on the side of the emperor's dragon bed, gently fanning the bright yellow figure on the bed, hearing a slight knock at the door, she hurriedly looked up, and only when she saw that she was relieved.

"Emperor, why are you here at this hour?" Although Concubine Ling is over forty years old, she can't see any traces of time on her face, her eyebrows are not extremely outstanding, but she has a unique charm, and her voice is gentle and soft, which sounds very comfortable.

"Son-in-law, see mother!" Chu Yuan turned his head to look at the door, and when he saw that no one had entered to check, he saluted in a low voice.

Concubine Ling held it up, and cautiously followed the position at the door, "The emperor is exempt, but what's the matter?" There is a concubine here, why do you come by yourself, if the man knows about it...... I'm afraid it's another turmoil, and your father's body may not be able to suppress her a few times now...... Alas......"

Concubine Ling sighed as she spoke, her gentle eyebrows and eyes were full of real sadness, and she raised her eyes slightly to look at Chu Yuan, she was also extremely helpless, and after a closer look, she could find that the corners of her eyes were still slightly red, as if she had just cried.

"Erchen came today to see his father, and today Erchen got the news that his father ...... The retainers endured until the evening, and only then did they secretly avoid the palace guards to visit their father and concubine...... Don't blame the concubine, the son just wants to come and see the situation of his father, and he will leave in a while! ”

Chu Yuan hurriedly explained, he was also distressed when he looked at Concubine Ling, "The mother concubine invited herself to serve her father, and she has never left the palace these days, and no one else has come to replace her. The father is sick again, and the mother concubine is really hard, and the mother concubine has not asked about the world in the palace for many years. It was because of the sons and daughters that they came here, which also caused the concubine to be unhappy, and the mother concubine suffered. ”

"You child, what are you suffering! As long as you want to do it, the mother will naturally support it, and when you grow up, the mother will no longer be able to make any decisions for you. But I can only help you in any way I can!

Back then, if it weren't for the decision of your father and mother, you wouldn't have endured all these years. How much those people in the open and secretly have made you angry, the mother concubine knows it, but this is the best way to protect yourself, otherwise. In the case of the year. Where can you, my mother and son survive until now? ”

Concubine Ling took Chu Yuan's hand and looked up and down distressedly, she hadn't seen her son for a long time, even before, she was just a low-status concubine in the palace, and she was not favored, she had lived in seclusion in Lingzhi Palace for many years, she was not qualified to see Chu Yuan at any time, only occasionally Chu Yuan was summoned to the palace to come to her palace to meet her.

But since childhood. She is very strict with Chu Yuan, but when she grows up, she only allows him to be an idle prince. It is not allowed to participate in the party struggle, according to Chu Yuan's capital, it is not valued by the emperor, and there is no possibility of being able to win the heir.

But later, things have developed step by step to the present, which is really beyond everyone's expectations, but Concubine Ling is still like this, no matter when, she is just a mother who watches her son grow up, there is no dispute about gains and losses, there is no utilitarian calculation, Chu Yuan wants to retreat, she is happy to see it, Chu Yuan wants to advance, so she also comes up with means to help him.

"The sons and daughters all understand, the father and the mother and the concubine to the sons and daughters, the sons and daughters understand, since the children know that the father always takes advantage of the late night to secretly visit the mother and the sons, the father never likes the sons and daughters outside, and does not pay attention to them, but the sons know in their hearts that the father is very good to the sons."

Chu Yuan knelt in front of the emperor's bed in a few steps, and whispered, Ling Concubine looked at him in surprise and was also relieved, she thought that Chu Yuan was still young at that time, and she couldn't remember very much about the emperor coming to see them, but who would have thought that Chu Yuan was precocious, and inherited Ling Concubine's delicate and rigorous temperament, and knew early that her father's outside was different from that in Ling Zhi's palace.

Although he didn't understand the reason for this difference at that time, he just kept this matter silently in his heart, and didn't dare to tell anyone about it.

It wasn't until he grew up that he realized that that kind of superficial disregard was actually a kind of protection, in this murderous harem, if there is no favor, it is like the tomb of the living dead, but if there is favor, it is even more dangerous, rather than choosing to put his lover and son in a dead end that will be opened at some point, it is better to use the surface of the disguise to cover up the true feelings, sometimes, as long as the hearts of each other are determined, what else is nothing.

And Ling Concubine and the emperor are like this, from the moment of decision, they only see each other occasionally at night, outside, Ling Concubine lives in Ling Zhi Palace, the emperor hates it, and never comes to the fortunate, but what they believe in their hearts is that if the two feelings are in the twilight of the morning and twilight for a long time.

"The emperor really grew up, and the mother thought that the emperor would resent your father after he knew, and he was also involuntary at that time, the court was unstable, internal and external troubles, and only favored the concubine and several other concubines to envelop the power of their mother's family, at that time, the mother concubine was too easy to become the target of public criticism, and with you, your father and emperor thought about it for a long time, and there was no other way."

Thinking of the events of the past, Concubine Ling still couldn't suppress the emotions in her heart, the pain and helplessness were still full of her heart, but in contrast, the man who was seriously ill in bed made her feel more distressed, if the pain she endured was one point, then this person who was called the emperor would suffer ten points.

"Mother thought that there was still a lot of time, and when your father took care of everything, the mother concubine would be able to accompany your father in the open, but I didn't expect that you would be so old, and he would ...... This time I came to serve the sick, not entirely because of you, but also because of the only remaining selfishness of the mother, I want to stay by his side and go on until the end, this is what he promised me, and what I promised him. ”

Concubine Ling continued to sit half-on the dragon bed, reaching out and clasping the emperor's thin hand hanging on the side, the pair of soft pancreas were the same as before, but the person who could hold them was old and weak, and against each other, it was a sad contrast.

"You're here......" The old man's voice sounded when Ling Concubine touched his fingers, as if induction, after many years of washing, he still maintained the love of the year.

"Yes, the son-in-law is here, and the son-in-law has come to see his father."

"What's ...... out there? How? The emperor stiffened his body and lifted up, and in just a few days, his old and cloudy eyes stared at his son kneeling in front of the bed, although his spirit was not as good as before, but his majesty was still there. (To be continued.) )
