Qinglan lingered at the gate of Yunxiu Palace for a long time, but he didn't muster up the courage to go in. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Jiang Yi happened to swing the phoenix out. As soon as he saw him at the door, he was very happy, and immediately withdrew Feng Yuan and pulled him back to the palace to sit down.

"Lan'er, are you here to see your mother?" Jiang Yi hurriedly took out melon and fruit cakes, what osmanthus poria cake, sesame halva, thousand leaf lotus cake, coconut milk tofu and so on...... Sweet, salty, glutinous, crispy...... There were seventeen or eighteen kinds, and there was a table full of them, and he was afraid that he would get tired of eating, so he personally went to boil water to make tea.

"Mother," Qinglan shouted, still feeling awkward, "You don't have to be busy, I'll leave in a while." ”

But this sound was heard in Jiang Yi's ears, but she was flattered, and her heart was overjoyed, she sat down, cocked the tail finger that had been broken and had not yet recovered, and peeled chestnuts for him, "Why are you in a hurry to leave when you just came?" Come, sit for a while, you lead the troops to train hard, this is the chestnuts sent by the old fairy Weng in Antarctica, eat a little, and replenish your body." ”

She peeled off a bunch of chestnuts and carefully removed the chestnut undergarment and piled it in front of him.

"My mother doesn't know what kind of food you like to eat, so she has prepared some of them," she said after peeling the chestnuts, a little confused, so that she was immersed in the surprise that he came to see her, "I thought that when you came, if you were hungry, you would be able to satisfy your cravings." I've been preparing for a long time, but I didn't think it would really work. ”

She looked at him, a little flattering, and a little frightened, until she saw him put a piece of walnut cake in his mouth, and then she exhaled and seemed contented.

"Actually, I don't need to prepare so much, I don't usually eat snacks. Qinglan was also sitting on pins and needles, and hesitated: "Mother, I, I want to ......"

"Hmm, what do you want?" she looked at him lovingly.

"I think I'd better go back to the West Sea. His words rolled in his throat for a long time, and he finally mustered up the courage to speak, "The war is about to start, and His Royal Highness will come back to take command in person, and I can do without me here." This time it's against Yanlong, Uncle Jiang has always been a close friend of my father, and it's not appropriate for me to insert it in it. ”

He paused, a little embarrassed, and said, "Besides, now that I know that I am the blood of Yanlong, and I am the child of my mother, I will help outsiders to beat my uncle, so I ...... It's even more wrong. ”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was a moment of silence.

Qinglan raised his head, looked at his mother, and said in a panic, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Yi squeezed out a reluctant smile and sighed: "Lan'er, how could my mother be angry with you? It's just that you are too kind, and you don't understand many things." ”

She shook his hand lightly and said with a sneer: "In the eyes of your others, I am the queen of heaven who is high above, under one person, and above ten thousand. But I'm afraid no one will come and ask, 'Are I happy every day?' and how well I sleep?"

She stood up, walked to her bed, took out the disproportionately cut small clothes and pants from under the brocade quilt, and choked up, "Lan'er, this is what I did quietly from your uncle when I was still pregnant with you, I am not good at being a girl, this set is broken, I will keep it for myself."

After you were born, he sent you away, and all these years, I had to hold this little dress in my hand every night, imagining how tall and big you would grow now, so that I could close my eyes for a while, otherwise I couldn't sleep all night. ”

Qinglan looked at the extremely cute and ridiculous little clothes, and suddenly had mixed feelings, and only called "mother......" and choked up, unable to speak.

Although they recognized each other that day by the Tianchi, although he had convinced himself to call it that way, in his heart, it always felt a little sudden and he couldn't adapt to it.

The relationship of more than 2,000 years is not something that can be established at once, the shadow of the queen of heaven, and the mother in his heart, there are still many details that do not coincide.

But now when he has this little dress in his hand, all the neglected and forgotten thoughts come to him.

He seemed to really see that the young mother, with plain eyebrows and shallow beauty, a little sad and a little hopeful, sat under the lamp with a big belly and sewed baby clothes for him;

I saw that in the next thousand years, his mother faded away from the crowd, and in the dead of night, she stood alone in the lonely deep palace, holding his little clothes, and calling his name until dawn......

He suddenly felt that he also had a mother, and that mother buried so much love for him when he didn't know it, where he didn't know.

He seemed to feel that the woman in front of him suddenly became kind, and he saw through her face as bright as ice and snow that she also had a gentle and fragile side under the graceful pearl light.

At least, when she smiles at herself, when she calls herself Lan'er, she is no longer a queen mother, but just an ordinary loving mother.

"Lan'er, you are too pure and kind, you can't imagine what kind of people the Emperor of Heaven and your uncle are. For the sake of this Heavenly Emperor's position, they will definitely do their best to fight to the death! They will not care about me as their relative at all, let alone you!"

Jiang Yi looked at him and said sadly: "Lan'er, you and I have already been sacrificed once when you were born, do you think you can escape this time?

"Mother, I don't want to be the Emperor of Heaven, and I can't do it. Qinglan was in a dilemma and knelt down at her knees, "I don't want to help Jinghua fight Uncle Jiang, and I don't want to help Uncle Jiang and Jinghua to make enemies! ”

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly, "Lan'er is very filial, and my mother is very moved." However, in this world, it's not that if you don't mess with others, others can let you go. Your fate is not good, you have become the son of your mother, and you are destined to be the one on the cusp of the storm, and you can't hide from it. ”

She sighed and raised her hand to caress his cheek, but accidentally touched her injured tail finger, and her face couldn't help but look painful.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Qinglan nervously checked her hand, her little finger hung down softly, her nails were turned up, and her flesh and blood were blurred.

He lost his color and said, "Why did you even break your finger bones? How did you get like this?"

Jiang Yi was silent.

Qinglan angrily asked: "Mother, who hurt you? Who dares to hurt you!"

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly: "What do you say?"

Qinglan's eyes were filled with anger, "Is it Your Majesty?" or Uncle Jiang?"

"He didn't know your life experience before, but Uncle Jiang still loved you, but now that he has learned, he won't let you go so easily, and he broke my finger, which is a warning to my mother. ”

She looked at him with a look of surprise and laughed at herself, "You think it's incredible, don't you? He's such a person, and you don't blame him." If you change to Xuanyuan Xuan, it's the same, but I'm afraid that it will be more ruthless. In order to keep his throne, he showed no mercy to his son, let alone me?"

Qinglan frowned, and carefully used mana to heal her injuries, "Mother, it hurts, isn't it?" Uncle Jiang...... He's your big brother, how can he bear to do this to you?"

He really couldn't understand that it would be absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing to Ah Xiang and Ah Mo.

Similarly, he couldn't imagine that His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor would be so ruthless that he would let Jing Hua be born and die again and again, and even personally ordered Xuan Yao to be promised to the crown prince, which made matters worse and almost killed him. Is this something that my father can do?

Jiang Yi's words are indeed true, but this injury has been a matter for a while, and with her cultivation, it has long been healed.

It was she who deliberately dragged it out for treatment, so that she would stay until today for Qinglan to see "inadvertently".

Although they didn't know each other for a long time, she could see at a glance that this child had a simple temperament and no ambition, if he hadn't played this bitter trick and forced him to force him, he would have been idle for the rest of his life.

Lan'er, I also want to protect you from being safe and sound, and not to get entangled in this conspiracy and intrigues, and to have a desire for power. But in this world, if you don't get strong and don't fight for the top position, others will fight for it. When the time comes, you will only be reduced to their stepping stones, sacrificed and trampled!

Your dad is a prime example of this.

Jiang Yi's cold eyes were filled with helpless sadness, and he sighed: "Lan'er, you still don't understand that in the hearts of men like Jiang Chiyu and Xuanyuan Xuan, there is no family affection at all, as long as they feel that it is an obstacle on the way forward, no matter who it is, they will be ruthlessly eradicated."

Your current identity is very embarrassing, you are not only the deputy commander of Yinlong's military department, but also the descendant of Yanlong, if you don't take a stand, no matter which one of them will immediately see you as the biggest threat, even if you return to the West Sea, you can't protect you!"

"I'm not afraid, it's a big deal to risk my life to fight with Uncle Jiang! Besides, Jinghua will be back soon, and I want to fight for Jinghua, not for that stupid and selfish emperor. ”

Qinglan is very simple, and when it comes to the battle, he can't help but be proud. In fact, he also had a plan in his heart, if he really had to choose, he naturally chose to stand on Jinghua's side, after all, that was his brother.

"I'm just worried about my mother, afraid that they will come to embarrass you. Qinglan said worriedly: "My mother said that my identity is embarrassing, why is my mother not?

"Mother is not going anywhere, I have already found Lan'er, Lan'er will protect her mother, right?"

Jiang Yi smiled with tears, gently hugged Qinglan in his arms, and said with a sad smile: "Whether it's Yinlong, Yanlong, my Lan'er has grown up, and today, none of them want to bully our mother and son anymore!"

Qinglan nodded, his mother's embrace was strange and warm, and there was a good smell that he had been looking for for a long time, as if he had been deeply familiar with that smell thousands of years ago.

He is not an indecisive person, but for the first time, he feels that he is extremely greedy for the warm fragrant nephrite at this moment, and his children are long.

"Mother, don't worry, Lan'er will not let others hurt you no matter what, no one can!" he leaned his head lightly on Jiang Yi's knee, but there was a cold light in his eyes, and he said resolutely.

Jiang Yi stroked his back and was about to say anything, but he heard the palace official on duty outside the hall singing loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven has arrived!"
