Chapter Eighty-Three: Father

It's just that everyone has a shadow in their hearts, after all, it's not an auspicious thing. After the sacrificial event was over, everyone left one after another, only Murong Lingluo had been standing here.

The man also looked towards Murong Lingluo, and the eyes of the two of them met in the air. Murong Lingluo walked to the altar and stood side by side with the man.

"Is that you?" The corners of the man's mouth curled. In the country of Lingyin, the position of the high priest was very high, and he did not have to bow to anyone except the emperor.

"You are the legendary High Priestess Night Spirit." Murong Lingluo said affirmatively. She'd heard the name of Night Soul a long time ago, but she'd never seen a real person. Legend has it that this man is over 100 years old, knows everything about astronomy and geography, and does not want to look like this.

"Yes, Princess Lingluo." Night Soul nodded, not minding the suspicion in Ling Luo's eyes.

"If you really know the astronomy and the geography as it is rumored, then ask the High Priest to speculate on my fate?" Murong Lingluo looked at the extinguished incense, and indeed there was no sign of moving his hands and feet, and he couldn't help frowning.

"You're just a distressing woman, if you can, I'm willing to hold the hand of the son and work with the son." The night soul's clear eyes seemed to see through everything Murong Lingluo had. Her strong defense, as if she had been seen through it all by this glance.

Murong Lingluo didn't speak, turned around and fled from this place. There was a pair of eyes behind her that stared at her until she completely disappeared from sight.

The days of calm did not last long, and war was on the verge of breaking out. The Lingxi Country is pressing step by step to annex the Lingyin Country. The enemy army was menacing, and the Lingyin Kingdom lost two battles in a row and lost three cities. All the people remembered the incense that had been broken during the sacrifice that day. Rumors spread, and the morale of the army collapsed.

"Mother Emperor, Ling Luo asks to go to war and recapture our city, and I hope that the Mother Emperor will be fulfilled." Ling Luo knelt on one knee, his eyes full of determination.

"You have always been punished by your master for studying and practicing martial arts, and you will not be sent to death if you go." Murong Xinyao looked at Murong Lingluo very puzzled.

Murong Lingluo pulled off the hairpin on his head. It was immediately inserted into the fruit bowl on Murong Xinyao's table. The hairpin hits the center of the apple.

"Mother Emperor, offended, let Ling Luo go." Murong Lingluo said stubbornly. She couldn't watch her country perish.

"Since your mind is broken, I won't stop you too much, be careful in everything." Murong Xinyao stepped down from the high seat and hugged Murong Lingluo for the first time. Murong Lingluo couldn't help but burst into tears. This is the first time. She entered her mother's arms. Murong Lingluo never called her son because she never regarded Murong Xinyao as a mother at all.

"Ling Luo, I know that I have wronged you all these years, I have never cared about you, just because I dare not face you." Murong Xinyao let go of Murong Lingluo and pulled her to sit on the steps of the main hall together.

"You've heard people talk about your father." Murong Xinyao looked at Murong Lingluo and continued. "He was my first husband, and we had a good relationship, but we never had children. In order to spread the branches as soon as possible. My husband has also increased. Then there was less and less communication between us, and he became more and more indifferent to me. I had five children in quick succession. Your arrival was an accident. That day, when I went to see him, he drank too much, hugged me and said a lot of things, he said that he loved me very much. That night, I had you. When you were four months old, your father suddenly ran out of the palace with a palace maid. I was so angry that I rode out on horseback. They didn't run far, and I'll never forget that scene. Murong Xinyao was like an ordinary woman at the moment, Murong Lingluo handed her a piece of Jinpa, this was the first time she had heard Murong Xinyao say so many words.

"Watching him hold another woman's hand, my heart hurt so much, it felt like a knife cut on it. I was in such a good mood that I killed the woman with a single sword. Murong Xinyao wiped her tears and smiled distressingly.

"You still chased it out, I finally saw you angry for me and crazy for me." Zhou Runqi smiled bitterly.

"Do you know what happened to you when you dared to betray me?" The sword in Murong Xinyao's hand pointed at Zhou Runqi.

"Seeing me holding other women, do you hurt here? Do you know how I feel when you're with other men? Zhou Runqi was not afraid, his hands kept covering his heart.

"You won't at all, because you've never loved me, and you don't even know what love is." Zhou Runqi smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I'm the emperor, I don't even have a heart, how can I love." Murong Xinyao looked at Zhou Runqi in front of him ruthlessly.

"Well, even if it doesn't live in your heart, let you remember me forever." Zhou Runqi showed a beautiful smile, crashed into Murong Xinyao's sword, and died like this.

"No, why are you so stupid?" When Murong Xinyao wanted to stop, it was already too late. She will never forget that moment, she hugged Zhou Runqi's head into her arms, and she could no longer control the flow of tears.

"Didn't you always want a child of ours? I have it now, but you're gone. It's okay, it's really unintentional from now on. Murong Xinyao muttered, holding Zhou Runqi's body in the sun for a whole afternoon, and no one dared to step forward to disturb her. Since then, she has never given birth to anyone else's child and is happy with someone else.

"After I gave birth to you, I didn't dare to look at you again, and every time I saw you, I couldn't help but think of him. It's like being torn apart, and after all these years, I still can't let go, but I always owe you. ”

Murong Xinyao looked at Murong Lingluo's eyes full of love.

"Mother, I don't blame you." Murong Lingluo buried his head in Murong Xinyao's arms. Hearing that she was finally willing to call the mother queen, Murong Xinyao was also very comforted.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see your father." Murong Xinyao took Murong Lingluo's hand and walked to the back of the Liuli Palace. It was a wide bamboo forest, and in the center of the bamboo forest was a tomb carved with the tomb of his husband Chow Run-chi. In front of the grave there was a guqin, and a stool, on which there was no dust. This should be the place where Murong Xinyao often comes. All of Murong Lingluo's mustard for Murong Xinyao disappeared all of a sudden. Today, Murong Xinyao's heart knot can be regarded as truly untied. On the day Murong Lingluo set out on the expedition, Murong Xinyao personally practiced for her and put on armor for her. (To be continued......)
