Mu Chen finally had some emotional ups and downs.

He raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his forehead, and his voice was slightly deep, "You are my wife and the queen of Chaoyan." You've got everything you wanted before, so why don't you get it? You want to get rid of Yuxiu, I can still understand it, but you colluded with Lieyang and conspired with people from enemy countries, didn't you take your identity into account? ”

When Shiyin heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "Identity? What identity? Your wife? Or the queen of Chaoyan? ”

She grabbed the luxurious white jade inlaid gold bead chain on her chest violently, and tore it off with a "bang", allowing hundreds of lustrous beads to fall everywhere crackling.

"In your heart, I'm just a tool for you to control the family, manage the harem, and take care of the concubines' daughters and nephews, right? Even today, all you care about is my dereliction of duty and my treason, not that I have been loving you and waiting for you for so many years, and finally I have become crazy about it and I don't even know myself! ”

"I know that I turned my back on you when you lost power...... But after all these years...... You have always been cold and detached from me, but you have doted on her excessively...... I took it as your punishment and endured it, again and again, even if it was humiliated and ridiculed......

Even if I did something wrong, even if I hurt you, I did so much for you...... Why...... Why, can't you take a look at me now, look at my dedication, my sincerity! ”

Mu Chen looked at Shiyin, and there seemed to be some complicated feelings in his deep and dark black eyes.

After a long time, he said quietly, "Go back." I remember that you have just lost your brother, and most of the people in the palace have been imprisoned, if you can save Yu'er safely this time, I will no longer pursue your felonies. ”

Chun Yuyan received the imperial decree, and the process of review was never half merciful, and none of the people in the queen's bedroom were spared the torture of prison. The miserable wind and rain, blood and tears wailed, no matter how firm Ren Is's heart was, he couldn't withstand the torment of what he saw and heard for several days.

What's more, outside the palace, the action of the Mo Nan clan to cut power and seize power also rose quickly, and the momentum was on fire.

According to her understanding of Mu Chen's way of doing things, Shiyin originally expected that she would be inescapable.

It is also out of this belief that she has the courage to shout out the doubts and grievances that have been hidden in her heart for many years regardless of her identity and demeanor.

But what she never expected was that Mu Chen was willing to let her go......

In the past, she might have secretly rejoiced, or she might have some faint expectations again, but at this moment, she only felt miserable and miserable, extremely confused and desperate.

What if you survive?

From now on, what awaits her is just a long and lonely palace ban career.

Lost the support of the family, lost the little tenderness that her husband had left, presumably there will be no children of her own in this life, and in the remaining days, in addition to looking at her aging face in the mirror every day, what else can you do?

Shiyin staggered back, raised her teary eyes, and asked Mu Chen, "Why?" Why don't you kill me? "Or do you want to punish me in a different way?" Let me live in the shame and pity of others for the rest of my life? ”

Mu Chen did not answer immediately.

He looked intently at the woman in front of him who looked familiar, but whose makeup had been soaked in tears in her hoarseness.

She used to be the only girl of the same age in his eyes, and she was also the perfect interpretation of the word wife in his youth.

Because he was able to make a marriage contract with her, he was also happy and longing, and he was proud and satisfied that he could marry a famous woman with similar interests and love.

But after all,

She couldn't give him the love he wanted......

Mu Chen slowly lowered his eyes.

Maybe it's because of Qingling's departure, or maybe it's because he knows that his fate is not long, a hard and cold heart that has been tempered by the world has inadvertently softened.

"Why should I kill you?"

After a long time, he said in a low and slow voice, "You are just like me, but you are just a poor person......

After a pause, he looked at Shiyin, who looked slightly stunned.

"I also thought that the wrong things I did would be understood after all. I also thought that if I was willing to do my best, I would be able to be seen as ...... sincerely."

He tugged at the corners of his lips bitterly, "But now I finally understand." Feelings are not transactions, and there is never any fairness. ”

～～

Luo Yao stepped into the courtyard, and several subordinates squatting outside the house immediately stood up and stepped forward to salute.

Luo Yao glanced at the door of the house and asked, "These days, is he okay?" ”

The rugged man who was called "Brother Qin" by his companions finally found an outlet for his catharsis, and hurriedly poured out the bitter water, "Your Highness, don't mention it!" When you left, you explained that you were not allowed to beat and scold, and this kid seized the opportunity to torture our brothers in a different way! ”

Rolled up his sleeves and pointed to the bruises on his arms, "Look, this is what he hit!" ”

Luo Yao glanced at the scar and smiled lightly, "You mean, you were beaten by a child?" ”

When the other onlookers heard this, they couldn't help but laugh with their heads down. Brother Qin also felt very embarrassed, turned red with a black face, and argued: "Who knew that kid could actually control five different spiritual powers?" I was also caught off guard by the sneak attack! Otherwise, if you do it honestly, how can you let him take advantage? ”

The colleague next to him interjected in a low voice and quipped: "What do you mean to do it honestly?" How can this fight be honest? ”

The crowd laughed again.

Someone else said to Luo Yao: "Your Highness, why don't we give that child some medicine?" The subordinates have gone out to inquire about the news in the past few days, and I heard that Emperor Chaoyan is looking for this child tightly, and it will be bad if something goes wrong. ”

Luo Yao went all the way south from Lieyang, and after countless investigations, he saw very clearly Mu Chen's determination to find Yuxiu. Now there is news from Lingxiao City that several important positions received by the Mo Nan clan have been dismissed at the same time, which shows that this Chaoyan Emperor has made the decision to uproot another great family.

If the cause and effect behind this is related to Queen Mo Nan in the palace, then the identity of the person who kidnapped Yuxiu will not be able to hide it soon!

In the huge Eastern Continent, finding a child whose cultivation is not yet high is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But it is easy to find a group of Northurius people who have no roots and are different in appearance, words and deeds.

Luo Yao vetoed the proposal of his subordinates, explained a few words to everyone, and pushed the door into the house by himself.

Yuxiu sat cross-legged on the couch by the window, her small waist was straight, and she looked like she was practicing with her eyes closed, but as soon as she heard Luo Yao's movement into the room, she immediately opened her eyes vigilantly and stared at him vigilantly.

The white brocade clothes he wore when he left the palace had long been worn out by the ropes, and Brother Qin and the others found him a few sets of clean coarse cloth clothes to replace, but they were thrown out by Yuxiu mercilessly. The dishes placed in front of the couch were hardly moved, and it can be seen that the child gambled and did not eat.

Luo Yao looked at the child in silence for a moment, walked to the couch, and sat down in his robe.

"No matter how unhappy you are in your heart, you can't gamble with your body. If you don't have enough to eat, even if you have a chance to escape in the future, I'm afraid you won't have the strength to go too far. ”

He reached out to probe the temperature of the dishes, and saw that the food was cold, so he took out the porcelain bottle containing Zhu Yudan from his arms and handed it to Yuxiu.

"Eat one of this."

Yuxiu stared at the porcelain vase, hesitated for a moment, took it with her hand, first opened it to her nose and smelled it, then poured out one and put it in her mouth and chewed it.

Seeing this, Luo Yao couldn't help but smile.

Yuxiu swallowed Zhu Yu Dan, threw the porcelain vase in front of Luo Yao, and said coldly: "Don't think that I listened to your persuasion and ate your things." Glancing at the dishes on the table, "Those things are dirty." I'm starving, and I'm not going to touch it. ”

He hung his head, straightened the torn sleeves and cuffs, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Luo Yao's gaze fell on Yuxiu's cuffs.

The delicate pattern of the silk embroidery, the texture is as luxurious as snow and heavy brocade, at a glance, you know that it is a heavenly thing.

This kind of material of Xiaying Ice Shark Silk Brocade was occasionally worn by him in the past. It's just that even if it is the world's richest Osawa Baili, he will not be willing to make it into pure white clothes, and it will be easily stained with dust stains that are difficult to wash. What's more, in this world, he is still a person who has been incognito and wandered all over the world since he was a child, and is used to living among ordinary people?

Luo Yao's mood was disturbed again.

After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and asked, "What if in the future, you can only live an ordinary life of rough clothes and food?" ”

Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes and asked rhetorically, "Where do you want to take me?" ”

In the past few days, he has been starving, relying on a belief that Mu Chen will definitely come to save him.

But now, listening to the tone of the wicked man in front of him, he actually has the meaning that he will never let himself return to the Suzaku Palace.

Luo Yao looked at the child's dark and questioning eyes, and suddenly wanted to reach out and touch his head, but he was afraid of startling him, so he had to look away, smiled faintly, and said, "I want to take you to meet your mother." ”

Yuxiu was stunned again.

At the moment when his mind fluctuated, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Really? ”

Then he immediately regretted it, and added coldly, "How can you be so kind, you must be trying to calculate me again." ”

Luo Yao was silent, only looking at Yuxiu fixedly, still with a faint smile on his lips that could not see joy and sorrow.

Yuxiu was stunned by him, and suddenly felt that those strange glass eyes were overflowing with too many emotions that he couldn't understand, intricate, like sadness, and love and pity. So at the bottom of my heart, just like when I first met in the cold fog of Meiyuan that night, I once again had a wisp of indescribable strangeness......

After a long time, Luo Yao slowly spoke: "You can not believe me. If I were in your place, I wouldn't trust anyone easily. But you don't have any other choice now. If you want to take a gamble and see if I will actually take you to your mother, answer me a question. In addition to Lingxiao City and Chongwu Mountain, where did your mother like to go before? ”

Yuxiu came back to her senses from her stunnedness, her little brain spun quickly, "Why do you have to take me to see my mother?" Why can't you send me to my uncle? When you see my mother, what if you want to hurt her? ”

Luo Yao smiled: "Then I swear that I will never hurt your mother, okay?" ”

Yuxiu questioned on her lips, but she was also wondering in her heart, in addition to recuperating in Xiaoyuechi, her mother had been living in the Vermilion Bird Palace in Lingxiao City, where else did she like to go?

But......

It seems like......

He had an idea in his mind, and suddenly decided to compromise, "Well, I can tell you. ”

Once, he asked his mother what was the most beautiful place she had ever seen in the Eastern Continent.

At that time, Qing Ling thought for a moment, his expression was slightly stunned, and he smiled lightly: "There is a water area, there are countless floating islands, and the islands are planted with red maple trees and full of bluebell flowers......"

After all, Yuxiu is a boy's heart, and he is not too interested in the color of flowers and plants, but he remembers a strange phenomenon in the water.

At present, it has become an opportunity to deal with the people of Lieyang......

So he raised his head and looked at Luo Yao, "My mother has a special favorite place called Fuyu Shuize. ”
