After a while, the palace maid came to deliver the decree and invited Luo Yao and Qingling to go to the front hall for dinner.

Qingling deliberately redressed again and changed into simple and plain clothes.

"I see that your mother has always worn a hat and refuses to show her true face, so I also dress modestly, so as not to be obtrusive."

Luo Yao dissuaded her and said: "You don't have to be so cautious, you can wear whatever you want, and you don't have to deliberately please anyone." ”

Qing Ling took his arm, "I'm not deliberately pleasing her, nor am I trying to make her like me, I really want to maintain her mood and make her feel comfortable." ”

She tilted her head and gently leaned on Luo Yao's shoulder, "Because she brought you into this world and brought you to my side, I am truly grateful to her." ”

Luo Yao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and for a while, he seemed to be a little speechless.

After a while, he hugged Qing Ling and sighed, "Senior sister, why don't you leave this until you go to bed at night?" Now I'm excited, anxious to respond, but useless......"

Qingling: "......"

The two walked hand in hand to the front hall of the meal.

As soon as he stepped into the temple gate, Qing Ling's mind couldn't help but go blank for a moment, and his body stiffened in place.

I saw that in addition to Luo Ji in the hall, there was another person sitting in Shi Shiran.

The man was dressed in a dark purple robe, and his long hair was inky and untied, and was held in place by a purple forehead band. His appearance is very handsome, and he seems to be somewhat similar to Luo Yao at a closer look, but the fierce aura exuded from his body makes people dare not force him to look at him.

Before Qing Ling came to Jiuqiu, he had been mentally prepared.

Since he came to meet Luo Yao's family, it is very likely that he will meet Luo Heng. If she took out the emperor's guard of honor and led the official entourage to visit Jiuqiu officially, then even if she met with Luo Heng, she would be able to do business and not feel too afraid.

But first, the matter of negotiating peace with Jiuqiu has not yet been made public in the Chaoyan court, so it is inconvenient to be too ostentatious, and second, she does not want to meet Luo Jian for the first time as a daughter-in-law, so she leads a group of heavily armed forbidden troops.

But right now, being stared at by Luo Heng with that kind of gloomy gaze, Qing Ling shouted regret in his heart, and subconsciously clenched Luo Yao's arm.

Luo Yao was also a little surprised, and threw an inquiring glance at his mother who was sitting next to Luo Heng.

Luo Jian was still wearing a hat and couldn't see his expression clearly, and his tone sounded a little helpless, "Ah Yao, I haven't come to greet your uncle yet." He heard that you were coming, and he hurried to see you without caring about his injuries. ”

Luo Yao groaned for a moment, pulled Qing Ling, and walked in the direction of Luo Heng. Qing Ling refused to move his steps, desperately dragging Luo Yao's arm and hesitating.

Luo Yao reassured her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”

Qing Ling also felt embarrassed, but subconsciously felt scared and didn't dare to approach Luo Heng.

At this time, Luo Heng, who had been staring at Qing Ling coldly, suddenly laughed.

The laughter, at first low and faint, then crazy and wanton, mixed with the sadness that makes people's hearts chill, makes people feel furious.

He slowly opened his mouth, "Afraid of me? "Her eyes drooped slightly, as if she were talking to herself," Luo 's daughter ...... I'm really scared of ......."

Qing Ling was full of doubts, raised his head and asked Luo Yao, "Who is Ah Luo?" ”

Could it be that this demon sees himself as his Ah Luo again, and is about to start going crazy again?

Luo Yao looked at Qing Ling and stopped talking.

Luo Jia said roundly: "Forget it, let's sit down and eat first." Then he raised his hand and motioned for the palace people to come forward and serve everyone.

Seeing Luo Yao leading Qing Ling into the seat, she turned her head and lowered her voice slightly, and said to Luo Heng: "Brother Heng, Qing Ling is now Ah Yao's wife, don't embarrass her too much." ”

Luo Heng just stared at the desk intently, as if he hadn't heard it.

Luo Jia let out a long sigh, sat up straight, and said no more.

Qing Ling only felt that the atmosphere in the hall was extremely weird, and he didn't dare to move with chopsticks, and secretly swore in his heart that he must be very kind and gentle to Xiao Qi in the future, and take care of his mood at all times, otherwise if one day he is like the demon opposite, he is stimulated and becomes a madman, so how should he live this day......

Luo Yao quickly calmed down, raised his chopsticks and chopsticks, calmly, and did not forget to add vegetables to Qingling at any time, persuading her to taste Jiuqiu's special dishes.

Qing Ling slowly and finally relieved himself, bowing his head and eating in a muffled voice.

After a while, Luo Jia opened his mouth and asked Qing Ling, "Do you think the dishes here are appetizing?" ”

Qing Ling hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, nodded in response, and did not forget to add: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

When Luo Ji heard this, he laughed softly, "You kid, aren't you really scared stupid?" ”

She put down the jade chopsticks and beckoned to Qing Ling, "Come here." ”

Qing Ling turned his head to look at Luo Yao, and after getting a hint of affirmation, he got up and walked in front of Luo Yao.

Luo Jia pulled her to sit down beside her, and said in a tone of pity, "Since I handed you over to Ah Yao today, I recognized you as a daughter-in-law, and you will no longer call me Your Majesty in the future." Whatever Ah Yao calls me, you can call me. ”

She handed over a pair of chopsticks, personally clothed Qingling, and said: "I can see it, you are actually, a girl with solid eyes." Most likely, it's still like your mother. ”

Qing Ling was apprehensive and asked Luo Jia, "Do you know my mother?" ”

Luo Jia glanced at Luo Heng on the other side imperceptibly, nodded, and said, "Yes." But not too familiar. ”

Qing Ling said, "I haven't seen my mother yet. She was ...... back then She gave birth to me and died, and Master raised me. ”

Luo Jia sighed, "The two countries are at war and have been implicated innumerable. You and Ayao are both hard-working children who have lost their relatives because of this. ”

Qing Ling nodded his head in agreement, but he felt very ridiculous in his heart.

The author of the catastrophe sat beside them as if nothing had happened. According to Luo Jia's conclusion, at this time, should he rush up and beat that demon to vent the hatred of losing his relatives back then?

Luo Ji added some dishes for Qingling, and asked, "Back then, the Xuannu was pregnant, and outsiders didn't know about it. Later, I heard that you were blessed by the Holy Emperor of Moqian and were born and raised, which can be regarded as your blessing. ”

Qing Ling nodded, "Yes, it is all up to Master that I can come out of my life." After a pause, he was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "It's also up to my mother...... He gave his life to give birth to me......

She briefly told how Mo Qian rushed to the valley and saw the seriously injured Xuannu, and said: "Master said, in fact, my mother had a chance to survive at that time, but in order to give birth to me, she exhausted the last spiritual power, and later, she also gave me the Qingyun Sword...... Master also said that she had already saved her will to die early on, so even if someone as cold as my master pleaded bitterly, she couldn't make her change her mind. ”

Qing Ling lowered her eyes, "I don't know my mother, and I don't know what kind of person she is, but I think that at that time, she probably really didn't want to live, otherwise she was so high in cultivation, and with artifacts like Master and Qingyun Sword by her side, she would have been able to find some way to do it......"

Qing Ling didn't have too deep feelings for this biological mother she had never met, to be honest. But every time I think of her sacrifice for her life in order to give birth to herself smoothly that day, I still can't help but feel sad and sad for her tragic ending.

Mother should have loved herself, right?

That's why he gave her his life to give birth to her, and he gave her the Qingyun Divine Sword that might be able to be used to save herself, and before leaving, he was still worried about his daughter's future happiness, worried that she would be imprisoned by her identity and burdened by the struggle for power, so she forced the master to make such a promise......

Thinking of this, Qing Ling's eyes were red unconsciously, and then she remembered the person who seriously injured her mother and killed her, and she was sitting in a place away from her at the moment, and her mood was suddenly extremely complicated and uncomfortable.

Although the two countries are at war and each is its own master, deaths and injuries on the battlefield are inevitable, but if it weren't for Luo Heng, the big devil, who led the Northern Expedition, the mother would not have been pregnant and had to go out to fight against the enemy, and finally gave birth to a child who was seriously injured, and never even had the opportunity to hold her daughter with her own hands......

The more Qing Ling thought about it, the more he hated, he couldn't care about being afraid anymore, raised his head, looked over Luo Xuan, and glared at the purple-clothed man on the other end.

I didn't know, when my eyes fell, I was shocked.

I saw Luo Heng's face pale, his body trembling, and his eyes staring at the food table in a daze.

Although there was still some distance away, Qing Ling, who had always had excellent ear power, seemed to hear the gurgling sound of his teeth clenching.

In the next moment, bright red blood escaped from the corners of his lips......

Qing Ling covered her mouth in fright, and her instinctive reaction was to get up and run in Luo Yao's direction.

Luo Jia seemed to have prepared early in the morning, while holding Qing Ling and comforting her, he calmly instructed his attendants: "The old injury of the national teacher has attacked, you quickly send him back to the cold star and warm moon." ”

The attendants stepped forward in response, but were swept away by Luo Heng with a wave of his hand.

He stood up crookedly, his head always bowed, and staggered to the door of the temple alone. After walking about half the distance, he suddenly stopped and coughed violently a few times before continuing slowly.

Qing Ling looked at the place where he had just paused, and saw a pool of blood on the ground, and the red was dazzling. The departing back, shrouded in heavy pathos, crumbling and helpless, where is there half a point of arrogance at first sight?

Isn't it, this demon was besieged by everyone in Wutong Town last time, and he was seriously injured and difficult to return, and he could be killed at any time?

It stands to reason that seeing him in such a situation, it should be a way to relieve hatred, but for no reason, Qing Ling felt that he seemed to be quite pitiful......

After Luo Heng left, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly eased a little.

Qing Ling was originally a little embarrassed about Luo Heng, but because of Luo Heng's reference, he gradually didn't feel much pressure on Luo Jia.

She ate for a while, pondered in her heart for a long time, and plucked up the courage to say to Luo Jia: "Your Majesty...... Mother...... Mother, can we discuss the matter of peace again? ”

Luo Jia smiled, "Okay, you've put down such cruel words, can I still refuse peace talks?" ”

Qing Ling blushed, and said again: "I have read those terms beforehand, and I don't think there is anything particularly difficult about Jiuqiu. ”

Luo Jia put down the jade chopstick, "Everything else can be discussed, but it is really difficult for the people of the Sixteen Towns to move to the Central Plains." In this way, tomorrow you and Ah Yao will go to the early court with me and listen to what the courtiers have to say. ”
