"How is my mother in the palace lately?" Helan Xiuyi sat opposite the Queen Mother as usual, poured a cup for herself, and didn't drink it, but just took it in her hand and swirled it gently.

The tea in the cup was shaking, just like her mood at the moment, and it was difficult to calm down.

She didn't know what attitude to use towards her mother in front of her.

No matter what kind of mentality she had when she took herself away, she loved and protected herself from the bottom of her heart, and every stitch and thread on her clothes since she was a child came from her hands. Several times she was attacked, it was the secret guards around her who came to the rescue, it was the fire that almost killed her, and she also lost her face to ask for the life-sustaining medicine.

But she hurt her biological mother, which is also a fact.

It stands to reason that she should avenge her biological mother.

According to the situation, she can't help but repay the kindness of more than 120 years of nurturing.

"Why don't you be cruel to me?" At least this way, she can take revenge and have peace of mind.

"What?" The Queen Mother put down the teacup and looked at her puzzled, Helan Xiuyi's voice was too small, she didn't hear what she said.

"It's nothing, I heard that my father recently took in a few more concubines, has my mother been bullied?" Forcing oneself is also suffering oneself.

Helan Xiuyi chatted with the Queen Mother as usual, but who knew that at this moment, in her heart, there were scars that had been cracked inch by inch.

"It's the same, what year is not the new man coming in and the old man out? You should know your father's nature, and if he is not, then he is no longer him. As for the mother, you don't have to worry, those little girls can't get into the eyes of the mother, besides, the mother is already the queen mother, and they don't dare to do anything, after all, the emperor is just the emperor. ”

As the emperor, a woman has to fight, fight for herself and fight for the future or existing children. The woman of the emperor is no longer too much of a need to fight, and Zuo is just a poor worm born of a man, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

"It's good not to disturb my mother."

The Queen Mother looked at Helan Xiuyi lovingly: "You don't have to worry about your mother, your mother has such an excellent daughter as you, who dares to show her mother's face?" The daughter in front of her is the pride of her life.

Helan Xiuyi wanted to smile as usual, but she didn't pull the corners of her mouth after pulling it a few times.

The Queen Mother was already immersed in her own thoughts, and she didn't notice Helan Xiuyi's abnormality, and the upward movement of the corners of her mouth showed that what she was thinking about at the moment was something worthy of her happiness.

"Oh, by the way, this beast tide, I heard your father say that you led the team?" This is the reason why she deliberately passed by today, to go to the temple to pray for blessings, but also for her daughter.

Helan Xiuyi nodded: "I am already in good health now, even if I occupy the position of the national teacher, I have to do the things of his position." ”

Beichen is surrounded by mountains, and when the beast tide comes, it is the most dangerous time of the year. Almost every year, we have to turn to other big countries for help, but which country doesn't resist when the tide of beasts comes?

But this year is different, the envoys sent by Beichen to discuss with Yanyu have brought good news, and several other countries will send people to help.

So she is called to lead the team, in the final analysis, she still has her own duties, but she has to pay more energy, this is a thankless task, what kind of thoughts do the two fathers and sons have, how can she not understand now?

Everything is going well, as a national teacher, she should be.

If something goes wrong, then all the blame lies with her, even... She is no longer worthy of this national teacher's uniform.

"Xiuyi, you can't take it this time." The Queen Mother knows the two fathers and sons too well, they have always been selfish and ruthless, and they have calculated Xiuyi again and again, and now that Xiuyi is already very good, how could they let go of such a good opportunity as the beast tide?

If you don't know it, having a big conspiracy is equivalent to repairing it.

"Mother, as a national teacher, it is a matter of duty for the country and the people, and the matter of resisting the beast tide, even if they don't bring it up, I have to go, but it is just a question of whether to lead the team." Leisurely poured a glass for herself, Helan Xiuyi raised a glass to the Queen Mother as if she was nothing.

"But you know...

"Shhhhh Helan Xiuyi's slender fingers pressed lightly between her lips and smiled faintly at the Queen Mother.

Queen Mother: "。。。。。。 ”

That's it, that's it, she's old, and there are some strife, and it's no longer for her, who is about to go to the ground, to worry about it.

"You are going to Pin City, and your mother will stop bothering you. You don't have to send it, just a few steps, my mother recognizes it. The Queen Mother looked at Helan Xiuyi with affection, and then left without looking back.

Helan Xiuyi didn't move, the cup in her hand, the water in the cup didn't shake, so sitting quietly by the window for an afternoon, the belated sunset stretched her back longer and longer, leaving a lonely room.

But I didn't know that after the Queen Mother left the National Teacher's Mansion, she stopped and turned her head again, looking at the National Teacher's Mansion in the bamboo forest, and two tears slowly slid down.

'At first glance, your mother's life is already complete, how can she be cruel to you again?' Xiuyi, in this life, her mother is content. Mother can't wait for you to come back, but look, in front of your mother's mausoleum, you can no longer hate your mother. ’

She didn't hear it, she didn't dare to hear it.

'Xiuyi, forgive my mother's selfishness, my mother just wants to hear you call me my mother in the last moments of my life, instead of looking at my mother with hatred. ’

A light sigh went away with the wind, and I don't know whose life it is.

"Master, Beichen Guoshi asks to see you." In front of the country house, the night is nine days old.

"Please let her in."

"Yes, national teacher, please."

The door curtain opened lightly, and Helan Xiuyi, who was wearing a Beichen national teacher uniform, walked in, and after she walked in, Ye Jiu lowered the door curtain and retreated ten meters away from the house to wait.

Midnight, who sat cross-legged on the dirt pit, did not lift his head, still looking at the book in his hand.

"You're idle, not to fend off the tide of beasts, why did you come here to live a country life? Is that one in your family willing too? I heard that he had reached the defensive ground, and was so nervous that he couldn't sleep at night. ”

Sitting opposite her, Helan Xiuyi didn't pick up the spirit fruit on the pit table without any pressure and ate it, this guy's things are all good things, just these thousands of years of spirit fruits are casually placed, you know, such a year's spirit fruit, any big country emperor can't eat it casually, okay?

"I'm here for a reason, what about you?"

There are two small countries between Yanyu and Beichen, although they are called countries, but the sum of those two small countries is only the size of a big country, and it is nothing to pass through these two countries at will on weekdays, but in two days it will be the beast tide coming, this girl can still run, I am afraid that there is something to ask for.

Based on respect for his friends, Midnight didn't peek into Helan Xiuyi's past and heart, so he really guessed wrong.

"I'm here for the same reason as you. Speaking of which, are we two considered to have a heart? The latest chapter of "Peerless Elegance: Bloodthirsty Princess Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
