Before Zhong Ling left, he wrote a secret letter to his family in advance, and no one else could open it except for his father.

I don't know if my father is still waiting for her in the old place at this time, and I don't know how they are doing. That's it, I'm going back soon.

Over the years, the Zhong family has worked hard to find this missing daughter, and they have searched everywhere.

However, this daughter, as if it had never existed, no matter how hard they tried to find it, they could not find the slightest clue.

They had countless days and nights, unable to sleep peacefully, this time, suddenly received a letter from their daughter, they were very surprised, the head of the Zhong family read it carefully, and confirmed that this was their daughter Zhong Ling, who had disappeared for many years.

Zhong Ling, you are finally willing to come back, it is your father's fault, no matter what the original intention is, I should not sacrifice your happiness. Child, how have you been out all these years? Will you forgive me?

The father of the Zhong family read the letter over and over again, and he clutched the letter tightly, as if he was about to lose it as soon as he let go, and his daughter would not come back. His tears couldn't help but fall, and they hit the letter with a click.

Mu Jilin and Zhong Ling soon arrived in Dali, he thought, now that he has handed over the matter to Mu Youlin to deal with, it is not a way, he still has to go back as soon as possible.

To tell the truth, since he grew up so big, he has been to the Beast Forest, the Divine Beast Forest, and the Warcraft Forest, but the Demon Beast Forest in Dali is a place he has never been to.

It is said that the vegetation is lush and it is a paradise for all things to grow, and I don't know what kind of scenery it will have. Thinking about it, Mu Jilin is still looking forward to it.

Dali is still the same as it was, and after Zhong Ling arrived there, he quickly found that warm home.

It seems that everyone should have received her letter, and they were ready early, waiting for Zhong Ling at the door of their homes.

Zhong Ling had already seen her father when she was far away, she thought about her father day and night, she hadn't seen her for a few years, and her father seemed to have gone through a lot of vicissitudes.

"See Your Majesty."

Zhong Ning had already heard that Emperor Xuanyuan was going to come together this time, so this number of gifts was still indispensable.

"The king of the county, please get up."

"Daddy."

She was very happy to see her father again, she threw herself into her father's arms all of a sudden, Zhong Lingcai didn't care what others thought, and called her father sweetly, as if all her thoughts were integrated into this sound.

Zhong Ning also looked at his daughter affectionately, the father and daughter looked at each other like this, they had been separated for so many years, they should have a lot to say when they met, but at this moment, they looked at each other, and they were speechless.

As if everyone else was in the background at the moment, they didn't care about it.

It was the housekeeper who called the master softly, so that the head of the Zhong family remembered that it was too impolite to let His Majesty stand outside all the time like this.

"Your Majesty, it's this king who is abrupt, please come in quickly." Zhong Ning hurriedly asked His Majesty to go in and rest.

Zhong Ling also suddenly realized that there was another person who came with her, and smiled embarrassedly.

"It's okay, it's rare for your father and daughter to see each other, I can understand this feeling."

He smiled faintly and said, when Mu Jilin met Mu Youlin again, why wasn't it like this, regardless of others, a thousand words came to his heart.

"I came overnight, and now I'm a little tired, so I'll go and rest first, you father and daughter have a good chat, what's the matter, I will talk to you tomorrow."

Mu Jilin continued, at this moment, let's give them more time to be alone!

"The little girl leads the way for Your Majesty." Zhong Ling said, looking at him.

"No, you guys, go on." Mu Jilin smiled at her.

"Come on, take Your Majesty to the arranged room to rest for a while, and if Your Majesty wants to go anywhere, take Your Majesty around."

Zhong Ning instructed his subordinates, they had already arranged the place where His Majesty lived, Zhong Ning also knew His Majesty's good intentions, saying that he was tired, it was just an excuse, if he was bored, it was also excellent to go to their Zhong family's garden for a walk.

The head of the Zhong family was very satisfied when he saw Zhong Ling standing happily in front of him now.

After seeing Emperor Xuanyuan walking away, the father and daughter shushed and asked for warmth for a while, and Zhong Ling suddenly lowered his voice.

When she came back this time, she wanted to figure out something else, she whispered to her father.

"Dad, I, I have something I want to ask you."

She originally planned to ask about Rong Xuan directly, but when this came to her lips, she couldn't say it anymore.

"What's the matter? Why did talking to my dad become so slurred? The head of the Zhong family looked at Zhong Ling's expression and suddenly became so serious, and he also became serious.

"Dad, Rong Xuan, has he ever come back?"

Zhong Ling said in a hurry, her voice was so small that even she couldn't hear it.

"Really, kid, can't you let him go?"

Zhong Ning's most worrying thing is here, at the beginning, the origin of everything was also because of Rong Xuan.

"Dad, what do you want? I can't let go of anything, Rong Xuan and I have never had anything, he is my father's most proud disciple, and my daughter is naturally worried. I heard that Rong Xuan is back, is it true? ”

Seeing that his father had misunderstood his thoughts, Zhong Ling hurriedly explained. In addition to explaining, Zhong Ling did not forget to ask his father again.

"Rong Xuan, he did come back, he told his father all these years of experience, it was his father who spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and that general was actually not a wicked person."

Zhong Ning saw that Zhong Ling was so anxious, so he simply talked about Rong Xuan's matter, and also mentioned the general.

"That's good, that's good."

Rong Xuan is fine, it seems that the general really didn't lie to her. Zhong Ling was also much more relieved.

"Lingling, dad is sorry for you all these years, it's me who is not good, I shouldn't have forced you in the first place, you have suffered outside all these years, right?"

This matter, for the head of the Zhong family, is a hurdle that cannot be passed, thinking of these things, in an instant, countless guilt welled up in my heart. At the beginning of everything, it was precisely these things.

"Okay, Dad, don't say it anymore, I've had a good life over the years, and I've made a group of true friends."

Zhong Ling looked at his father's face and smiled, now it is Zhong Ling, who needs to comfort his father all the time.

"Can I meet Rong Xuan."

After a moment of silence, Zhong Ling once again turned the topic to Rong Xuan.

"Okay, he already knew the news that you were coming back today, and tomorrow my father will tell Rong Xuan and arrange for you to meet."

Zhong Ning said without hesitation, in fact, he also had such a plan. It's just that he's still worried about something else.

"But, kid, have you really thought it through? When you enter the palace, there is no freedom, and the dangers in the palace are all in the shadows, which often makes people unguardable. ”

Zhong Ning emphasized these things to Zhong Ling over and over again, and now he only hopes that this daughter can be good and happy.

When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic, and if Zhong Ling is added in the middle, he will definitely be hurt.

"Dad, don't worry, I'll take care of myself. Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been very good to me. ”

Zhong Ling said firmly, with a happy expression on her face, this was her heartfelt thought.

"Okay, okay, you just know it in your own heart."

Hearing that, he smiled with relief and continued.

"Good boy, it's not too early, let's go back and rest early."

"Hmm."

With that, the two of them went back.

On the second day, Emperor Xuanyuan proposed this family matter to the Zhong family, and the head of the Zhong family also had a long talk with Emperor Xuanyuan. He must deal with his daughter's lifelong affairs seriously.

He was sorry for Zhong Ling and almost ruined her lifelong happiness, and now, he must be responsible for her.

The Zhong family entertained Emperor Xuanyuan with good wine and meat, and the head of the Zhong family, who didn't like words, also talked more, and he still had many things he wanted to ask Emperor Xuanyuan.

"Your Majesty, this is the king's favorite little girl, so the king will do it first." Zhong Ning said, taking the lead in toasting Emperor Xuanyuan.

"I also salute the king of the county with a cup." Mu Jilin said, drinking all the wine in the cup.

Zhong Ling also followed them, drank all the wine in the cup, silently listened to the chatter between the two of them, occasionally took a few bites of food to eat, and smiled politely at them from time to time.

Although the two people in front of her were discussing things about herself, Zhong Ling didn't listen to them at all, because her mind was not here.

"Your Majesty, Father, you continue to drink here, and I will go and prepare some snacks for you."

Zhong Ling turned around and prepared to leave, dim sum, she had actually prepared it a long time ago, she was going to other places.

"Okay, come back soon."

Zhong Ning said to Zhong Ling, and then continued to chat with Emperor Xuanyuan. For the sake of his daughter, he wanted to drag Emperor Xuanyuan back, because Zhong Ling was going to go out.

During this period, he absolutely couldn't let Emperor Xuanyuan go out, and those things couldn't be seen by him.

Zhong Ling just took this opportunity to find Rong Xuan, and when he arrived at the garden, Rong Xuan was already waiting for her there.

After so many years, everything has long been wrong, and Rong Xuan is not the arrogant young man who dared to scold the world for being unkind.

Maybe he has experienced too much, Zhong Ling actually saw the vicissitudes of youth and old age from his face. Everyone obviously grew up together, but Zhong Ling couldn't see a trace of emotion in his expression at the moment, and he only felt that he was not sad or happy.

However, Zhong Ling is already very satisfied now that he sees him standing in front of him, and now Rong Xuan has inherited his father's mantle, presumably, he will not be in danger again.

"Lingling. You okay? ”

After the two of them met, they looked at each other silently, and after a long time, Rong Xuan opened his mouth first. The thousands of words in my heart have now turned into a simple greeting.

"I'm fine, but how have you been all these years?" Zhong Ling said simply.
