After learning of Luo Yunying's whereabouts, although Xiu Yuzhen was in the Zhaoqing Palace, her heart had already flown to her little daughter's side. Now is a good time to win over Luo Yunying to stay, and she can't miss it.

So, she decided to visit again late at night.

After Luo Yunying took a bath, her hair was wet and dripping water on the ground, and Luo Qinghe was worried about catching a cold to wipe her head. Unexpectedly, Xiu Yuzhen came at this time.

Luo Yunying was the first to see Xiu Yuzhen's figure, and immediately muttered, her eyes stayed on her body and never left. It was the woman who gave birth to herself in October, and she came here today with a smile on her face.

"Mother..."

"What is the Empress doing here?"

Luo Yunying's voice was suppressed by Luo Qinghe's excited emotions, and the two adults stood opposite each other, looking at each other, silent.

Xiu Yuzhen flicked her sleeves and dismissed her subordinates, took the silk cloth from Luo Qinghe's hand, sat next to Luo Yunying, and carefully and gently dried her hair.

"I'd rather be really naughty, I was so bold to burn down Fengyang Pavilion that day. Are you really as stubborn as your father, aren't you afraid of burning yourself? ”

There was anger and helplessness in the tone, although the little daughter in front of her had not been taken care of by herself for a long time, but the things connected in the blood were not washed away by time.

She looked at Luo Yunying and was really close.

"My dad praised me for being a brave girl, so I'm not afraid."

The clever and delicate female voice rang in her ears, and Xiu Yuzhen was surprised by her words, her illness was cured.

"Ning Ning, you... Can you speak? ”

Luo Yunying frowned, as if she was displeased. After taking the linen, wipe your own head, so as not to let others wipe your head.

"If it weren't for the empress sending the man in black to sneak attack, I'm afraid Ning Ning wouldn't be like this. To say that this is still all due to the empress's credit. ”

If there was a knife hidden in her smile, Xiu Yuzhen could hear that this was Luo Yunying's complaint against herself, and she couldn't hold a face on her face, smiled awkwardly, and looked at Luo Qinghe.

If you want to say that two people have loved each other before, you can know what it means with one look.

"Ning Ning, she is your mother, and she is the empress. What kind of system is it to be so disrespectful! ”

"Daddy, shouldn't we blame her for being like this?"

Luo Yunying asked a rhetorical question, and the man with a big body and a noble temperament was speechless.

The youngest daughter is indeed right, everything they have experienced is due to her selfish decisions, and it is not wrong to blame her.

In fact, Luo Qinghe was angry in his heart, so he had been hiding things about Luo Yunying's biological mother for so long and kept silent about it. The reason why Luo Yunying is prejudiced against Xiu Yuzhen is that he has no way to teach and does not guide correctly.

Thinking about it like this, he also felt indebted in his heart, because the grievances between the two of them affected his daughter, from birth to now, Luo Yunying has never been happy under his mother's knees, and he has felt maternal love, how can he not regret it.

If it weren't for Xiu Yuzhen's private decision, how could they be so tossed and turned.

"Ning Ning, she's your mother, you can't talk to her like that, you know?"

Luo Yunying watched these two adults collude, and her heart became even more angry. Obviously, because they are so wronged, they blame themselves. What a nuisance for adults!

She was unhappy in her heart, and her face was even more unhappy, her slightly dry hair was scattered, her little face was flushed, she pouted, pinched the linen tightly in her hands, and complained.

"Ning Ning, apologize!"

“……”

"Ningning."

Luo Yunying looked at her father as serious as she had never been, and her eyes were staring at her tightly, making her feel a huge pressure.

The pink cherry lips wanted to open, but it was like she couldn't speak during the time when she was speechless.

Her throat was dry and she couldn't speak, she was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes, if she didn't apologize, I'm afraid my father would really be angry.

Xiu Yuzhen next to her looked at the little daughter who was forced to be like this, and couldn't bear it, so she immediately protected her behind her, held her in her hands, and said.

"Why are you so serious? Ning Ning is still young, do you still have the same knowledge as her as an adult? ”

is usually a strict mother and loving father, but now it has become a strict father and mother. Luo Qinghe, Luo Qinghe, how can you lose your temper with your daughter because of this.

What's more, her daughter is held in her arms, and it is good to be respected. If you really have feelings for her, you really can't stay out of it, and one day you will be like her mother.

That's what he doesn't want.

The dark and deep eyes looked at the mother and daughter hugging each other, a picture of mother and son's filial piety, so I began to be indignant in my heart.

Xiu Yuzhen is really good at pretending.

"Ning Ning, come here."

Luo Yunying's innocent teary eyes were hazy at Shang Xiu Yuzhen's loving eyes, looking at her and nodding to herself, and her small figure stood in front of her father again.

"Daddy, I'm sorry, don't be angry."

"Silly Ningning, how could Daddy be angry with you. Daddy is afraid that you will suffer a loss, afraid that you are not sensible. She's your mother, how can you contradict her. ”

"Ning Ning knew that he was wrong."

Luo Qinghe touched his little daughter's hair, which was as smooth as silk, and said.

"Daddy still has something to say to your mother, you are obedient and rest. Is it okay not to catch a cold? ”

"I'm not a child."

Luo Yunying said angrily, and entered the room with the guidance of the maidservant, leaving only the pair of former lovers.

It has been decades since they met, knew each other, and loved each other for decades, and they have experienced a lot together in the past few decades, and they once wanted to give up everything because of their children's personal feelings.

Luo Qinghe gave up the position of high priest for her.

Xiu Yuzhen also gave up the struggle for royal power for him, but unfortunately there was only one impulse.

Luo Qinghe was willing to stay behind her for her, not caring about fame and fortune.

Xiu Yuzhen also thought about a couple for him for the rest of her life.

It's just that everything is not something you can do if you think about it, and it's not something you can get in return for what you give.

Thirteen years ago, he left disappointed, and now when they see each other again, they can only look at each other without saying a word, and now their temples are gradually graying, and their worries are haunted all day long, they can't do things like teenagers without thinking about the consequences.

Maybe they didn't have a choice since they fell in love with each other.

They can only follow the wheel of fate, helplessly and uneasily, and move forward towards the so-called result.

"Ning Ning is very well-behaved, very smart, very similar to you."

Xiu Yuzhen didn't know what to say for a while, and with the moonlight, these two former immortal couples would be speechless to each other.

"Thank you for the empress's compliment, you have worked hard to take care of Yunjin and Yunjing alone for so many years."

"Luo Qinghe, do you really have these two children in your heart? You've been in the imperial capital for so many days, but you haven't seen them once. ”

Luo Qinghe did not answer her question directly, but asked her sin.

"You must know that the relationship between you and me has been broken at the beginning, and you and I have had no relationship since then, so why should we pull our second daughter into the royal power now."

"That's what you said, I never said yes. What's more, Yun Ying is your daughter, Yun Jin and Yun Jing are not your children? You're so ruthless. Leave our mother and son behind? ”

"I thought you'd be doing well."

"That's what you think. You have never thought from my point of view, you say I am selfish, don't you? You are the only person I can trust, but you have left me openly when I need you the most, where have you left me? ”

Outside the window, the rain and snow were falling, the wind was blowing, and the hula and hula were roaring as fierce as the two of them arguing.

Luo Yunying's petite body hid behind the screen and listened secretly, they didn't know that Luo Yunying was not sleeping, but hiding here to eavesdrop.

"Whatever happened back then, it's none of my business now. I only hope that I can use the rest of my life to give Yunying a stable life, watch her grow up healthily, and choose a good husband for her, so that I can feel at ease in this life. ”

"Luo Qinghe, you are really old. The mind is not bright. Luo Yunying is my child, a descendant of the royal family, and she will take my seat in the future and become the new empress. It's not that you don't know that. ”

Sure enough, Xiu Yuzhen fought with this idea. The reason why she brought Luo Yunying back was to find a marionette that could be controlled to satisfy her own path to kingship.

When has it been, she is still so gluttonous.

"Xiu Yuzhen, I advise you not to fight Ning Ning's idea again. The dispute over royal power, the slightest carelessness will kill Huangquan, how can I let her be at your mercy. Yun Jin and Yun Jing are at such a point today, can you still bear to push Yun Ying to the fire pit? ”

"Born royal, that's her responsibility. It's not up to you and me to do that. ”

Xiu Yuzhen turned her back and stopped looking at him, obviously the two of them didn't talk speculatively, and she didn't want to say so much, it would only add to her troubles.

Luo Qinghe's eyes looked at the noble woman who was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, when the empress Xiu Yuzhen of the dynasty, she could only sigh in her heart, sure enough, it was already a different path, maybe she had nothing else to hope for at the beginning except power.

Xiu Yuzhen's phoenix crown and hairpin are not luxurious, but this can't cover the vicissitudes of her heart. In the past 20 years, she has paid too much and is tired.

In the end, except for the right to be in one hand, there is no amiable and lovely person around. Together with his own biological children, he is also shallow, and he doesn't have much emotion.

At most, it is only helplessness and sympathy, who let them be born in the emperor's family. Therefore, he decided to face the difficulties in front of him and clear the obstacles with Xiu Yuzhen.

"Ah Hao, I sincerely ask you to let Yunying go and give her a complete and happy life. I will keep the throne of the kingship you want. It's not easy for children, can you really bear to let them go back to our path? ”

"Uncle Huang's family is looking at my seat, wishing that I would abdicate early, both the court and the people are complaining, I must hand over power to someone I trust. The dragon veins of the Xiujia clan cannot be destroyed in my hands. Luo Qinghe... You should know my suffering. ”

Hearing that Xiu Yuzhen was so bitter and revealed her scars, Luo Qinghe was also a little moved. They met when they were young, and Xiu Yuzhen's road to becoming the emperor was in his eyes, how could he not know how difficult it was for her to dominate the world as a woman, how... Helpless.

Her hands were stained with blood, and the midnight dream was counted as those who had passed away, and she had gone crazy in those days, how could she not know.

But he can't be so broad-minded, and he can't be so selfish. With his wife on one side and his daughter on the other, he is caught in a dilemma, but in the end he is willing to give his daughter a bright future.

He knew that even if Luo Yunying's path was different, using the means of cultivating Yu Zhen would leave a way back for him.

"Ning Ning is not negotiable, no matter how decisive you are, I will not let you manipulate her at will."

"It's late at night, let's talk about it tomorrow. You take good care of Ning Ning, Youbai, you stay here and take good care of Little Emperor Ji for me. ”

Xiu Yuzhen looked sideways at the little maid not far away, in fact, she stayed here to let her watch Luo Qinghe closely, just in case. It wouldn't be good if he snuck away in the middle of the night.

"Empress, the wind is cold, pay attention to your body."

This can be regarded as his intention for himself, Xiu Yuzhen thought passionately.

Luo Qinghe watched the figure gradually disappear into the wind and snow, and his heart was stunned. Maybe he did it too well this time.
