Chapter 285: She's Your Mother
Celestial Treasures.
Wei He's words couldn't help but sink Liu Xi's heart a little, and it also made the atmosphere in the room like a cold winter wind and snow blowing by, which was so solemn that people almost couldn't breathe.
For a while, everyone was silent again, only the light in the remaining bronze crane lamp was swayed by the cool breeze that rushed into the house, and the impurities of the wick made a 'squeak' sound, which was particularly harsh in this room where no one spoke.
"It doesn't matter, since I am the Son of Heaven, I am not afraid of those who commit rebellion."
Emperor Ming Tuoba was full of pride on his face, and between his arms, the golden dragon on his sleeves flew with it.
The monarch, whether it is in the Jinluan Hall or when he is down, the real king will not lose this momentum of looking down on the world.
Wei He on the side stroked his beard again, "Yes, although the heavens and men are terrifying, but the battle of a thousand years ago has already lost their lives, and the cultivation masters in the world are under the control of the heavens, but on the contrary, as long as the masters of the world can unite, they will not necessarily be afraid of them." If there are celestial people interfering in the affairs of Dashu, Wei is willing to go to the other three countries to lobby, but all knowledgeable kings will have a sense of crisis, and when the masters of several royal families are dispatched together, then even if they are celestials, they will not take advantage. ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xi's eyes couldn't help but light up, he was really a talented and quick thinker, and in a short period of time, he had already come up with a master who used other countries and was afraid of the intervention of heaven and man to unite the royal families of various countries.
After all, those are terrifying existences, and it is easy to subvert a court, and the other three kingdoms will naturally put everyone in danger, and they will definitely send people to help.
As a last resort, this is indeed an idea.
After all, the four kingdoms have been standing side by side for a long time, and although there is a conquest, in the end, it is only a worldly matter, and no one wants to share the country with the celestial people who easily destroyed themselves.
With Wei He's idea, Ma Xiu's heart couldn't help but be greatly settled, and the appearance of six gods and no owner on his face dissipated, and he summoned two subordinates and asked them to prepare a guest room for Liu Xi and Xiao Wu so that the two could rest.
"Don't worry, wait a while, I still want to know some news about Liu Han."
When Liu Xi retired, Emperor Tuoba Yingqi of the Ming Dynasty called him, and when he mentioned Liu Han, some memories and sorrow welled up between his eyebrows, and Liu Xi couldn't help but have a face that he could never forget.
Then, there was a dull pain in his chest.
So Liu Xi sat back again, and talked about the things between him and Liu Han one by one, and heard that Tuoba Yingqi sighing again and again.
Especially when he heard about Liu Han's death, Tuoba Yingqi actually slapped him on the armrest, stood up suddenly, his eyes wide with anger, and his murderous aura was like a blade.
"I said at the beginning that Liu Si was not a good thing, but I didn't expect it to be so despicable and shameless, killing his father and killing his brother and brother, what kind of face does this kind of person have to live in this world!"
Under the anger, Tuoba Yingqi's chest rose and fell violently, perhaps because he was too angry, he couldn't help coughing.
"What's going on?"
Hurried and crisp words sounded outside the house, and then a fragrance wafted in front of everyone's noses, but it was Princess Yuzhu, who had gone out before, who hurriedly walked in, and reached out to help Tuoba Yingqi stroke her back to smooth her breath.
Tuoba Yingqi smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, "Yuzhu, did you find Cao Yun?" ”
Princess Yuzhu handed the tea to Tuoba Yingqi, the smile on the corner of her mouth seemed to melt her cherry red lips, and between nodding, she shook her steps gently, "I can't hide anything from Your Majesty." ”
With that, Princess Yuzhu pointed out the door.
At this time, Liu Xi found that there was a white and thin person wearing a dark green robe and a jade crown standing at the door.
And now, this person's eyes are full of tears, and he looks at Liu Xi in a daze, as if he has become an idiot who is not clear.
This made Liu Xi a little confused.
Could it be that this person has something to do with him Liu Xi?
When Liu Xi was secretly thinking to himself, the man stumbled forward, grabbed his sleeve, and immediately burst into tears, "Xi'er, my son......"
The crying sound is like a heartbreak, which makes people's hearts ache.
But Liu Xi was particularly shocked, he had been dependent on Liu Han for as long as he could remember, and he had never been told that the mother who gave him life was still alive.
On the side, Princess Yuzhu was also in tears.
"Sister Yun, you and Xi'er haven't seen each other for many years, and now that the mother and son are reunited, you should be happy, how can you cry here?"
After a while, Princess Yuzhu, who had wiped away her tears, stepped forward, took an embroidered handkerchief from the handmaiden's handmaiden and handed it to Cao Yun, and comforted her softly.
At this moment, Liu Xi is still in an unbelievable situation.
Since Liu Han left, Liu Xi felt that he had no relatives in this world, and thanks to Tian Xun'er's company, this made his heart warm again.
But today is just a short night, Liu Xi actually has two more close relatives, one is Princess Yuzhu, his aunt who married Shu Kingdom, and the other is Cao Yun, who still grabs his sleeve before the tears on his face have dried.
It was the mother who gave birth to him.
This sudden thing, no matter how unfazed Liu Xi can be on weekdays, he is now stunned and doesn't know how to speak.
Perhaps seeing that Liu Xi didn't speak, the tears between Cao Yunya's black eyelashes once again seemed to be broken, and the big tears fell down.
"My son, all these years, my mother has missed you so much......"
While speaking, Cao Yun stretched out his white soft cheek and wanted to touch Liu Xi's cheek, but Liu Xi subconsciously avoided it, which inevitably made Cao Yun a little sad.
Cao Yun buried her head in Princess Yuzhu's arms, her shoulders trembled, and she cried bitterly.
Wei He, who saw all this in his eyes, sighed, and then bowed to Emperor Ming and retreated, where could he, who was already sentimental, look at the current scene like this, it was better to retreat, and it was better to go to the city to do some inspection, and make some arrangements for tomorrow's defense of the city.
After Wei He left, Emperor Ming Tuoba Yingqi waved back from the surrounding people, and asked Princess Yuzhu to sit aside with Cao Yun, who was crying, and later walked to Liu Xi's side, stroked his beard and said softly, "Twenty years ago, the daughter of Cao Bo, the captain of the Han court, and the crown prince of the current dynasty made a marriage. The two of them are a Yushu Linfeng device Yu Xuanang, and the other is knowledgeable and dignified and gentle, it is really a match made in heaven, and the two are childhood sweethearts, so before they got married, they had the reality of husband and wife, so there was a later you. ”
As he spoke, Tuoba Yingqi glanced at Liu Xi, and Liu Xi also understood that Tuoba Yingqi was going to tell him what he didn't know back then.
The Ming Emperor Tuoba Yingqi who was talking was full of memories in his deep eyes, and his eyes looked at the lanterns hanging in the courtyard through the open wooden door, and for a while, his expression seemed to be sluggish.
It's as if my mind has gone back to the past.
The night breeze was slow, a slight coolness blew into the house, the lights in the copper lamp shook a few times, and the beating firelight pulled back the thoughts of Emperor Ming Tuoba Yingqi.
"The monarch of the Han Dynasty should have been your father's, but Liu Si, who has not been favored by others, has gained the support of many forces from nowhere, first of all, Liu Han was defeated in the Battle of Wujiang, and he was framed as a traitor. Subsequently, the prince who was supposed to inherit the unification, your father was sick and bedridden and eventually died, and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty also died suddenly for no reason. ”
Taking a deep breath, Emperor Ming Tuoba Yingqi glanced at Princess Yuzhu and Cao Yun who were hugging each other and crying, and then exhaled deeply with his chest rising and falling, "After Liu Si ascended the throne, he vigorously suppressed the courtiers who had been friendly with the prince and Liu Han, and although you were secretly born by your mother, the news could not be concealed, Cao Bo wanted to remove you to show his loyalty in order to protect the entire Cao Mansion, but just the night before, you were stolen by someone, and your whereabouts have been unknown since then." ”
At this time, Liu Xi realized that although he was born noble, but this prominent status made him not enjoy any blessings, and when he was born, he attracted the disaster of killing, fortunately his uncle Liu Han rescued him, otherwise he would have become a dead soul under the knife.
Tuoba Yingqi saw that Liu Xi's eyebrows showed a hint of fear, and he understood what he was thinking, "This kind of thing is rare for ordinary people, but in the royal family, it is extremely ordinary. ”
Under the words, Tuoba Yingqi sighed again, obviously thinking of the current situation in Shu, Tuoba Ao raised troops to usurp the throne, how could it not be a situation of fratricide, father and son killing each other?
The knot in his chest made Emperor Ming cough, and Ma Xiu, who was standing not far away, stepped forward with an arrow, wanting to stroke Tuoba Yingqi's back, but was stopped by him, "It's okay, it's okay......"
After a moment of relief, Emperor Ming's breath returned to normal, "I have already returned to Shu back then, and after learning the news, I hurriedly asked my father to send envoys to the Han Dynasty to propose marriage, after all, I fell in love with Princess Yuzhu at first sight when I was in Chang'an, and I am afraid that later, Liu Si, who is inferior to beasts, will also harm Princess Yuzhu." It is precisely because of Princess Yuzhu's marriage into Shu that Cao Bo can take the opportunity to secretly place your mother in the maid who marries, and your mother's personal maid replaces her and sets fire to the house as a self-immolation, so as to save your mother's life. ”
It is really a rich and dangerous family.
Although Liu Xi said that he didn't know anything about this experience, and Emperor Ming Tuoba Yingqi also said it lightly, but there was murder everywhere in his ears.
What happened back then turned out to be so dangerous.
Thinking of this, Liu Xi's back was numb with fine sweat, and his thoughts wandered, as if he had experienced all those swords, swords, and shadows.
Tuoba Yingqi's broad palm gently patted Liu Xi's shoulder, and the perseverance on his face turned into the kindness of the elder, at this moment he is no longer the emperor who is in charge of the mountains and rivers, but an ordinary elder, and his tone is very gentle in Liu Xi's ear, "Over the years, your mother has never given up looking for you, after I and Princess Yuzhu learned about you from Xiu'er, because I did not confirm your identity, and you have been in danger, so I have never dared to tell her, I just want to wait for the future when I have leisure and go to Yangqu City in person." , I didn't expect the world to be impermanent, you and I met in Shu. Since I saw you like this, you are exactly the same as your father was back then, but there is no need to confirm it. ”
Hearing Tuoba Yingqi's words, Liu Xi couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, not because of the softness of his words, but as the king of a country, he actually wanted to go to the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty in person, just to confirm for Cao Yun whether Liu Xi was born to her.
This kind of affection is really touching.
Tuoba Yingqi's words are quite serious, and Liu Xi understands that this is to understand him with emotion and reason, so that he can accept Cao Yun as his mother's business.
After all, as an emperor, with Tuoba Yingqi's vision, he could see that Liu Xi was unfamiliar with this mother-in-law who seemed to come out of thin air.
But Cao Yun has been missing Liu Xi in his eyes over the years, so he has those words just now.
After saying these words, Tuoba Yingqi turned around and returned to his seat, picked up the tea cup, blew open the fat and plump tea leaves that had been brewed by the tea, and took a sip gently.
But his eyes always looked at Liu Xi as if he didn't have anything.
Liu Xi looked at Cao Yun who was looking at him with teary eyes in the distance, and his consciousness was in a trance, as if he had been separated for a thousand years, thinking of his mother who had been bitter to him.
A woman who has secretly cried countless times for him.
The warmest part of my heart was immediately like a string that was plucked, and the whole person dissolved, and my nose couldn't help but be slightly sour.
Walking forward in three steps and two steps, Liu Xi knelt on his knees, "The child is not filial, and his mother has suffered all these years." ”
