Jielan thought about her mother's miserable and tragic life, she didn't pity it in her heart, she suddenly understood that her suffering was nothing, and her mother's suffering was several times better than herself, but her mother persevered, and Jielan didn't understand her mother's feelings, and she felt that her mother deceived herself, and at first she had some resentment in her heart, but now she heard it, she was remorseful, she held her mother's hand, and said in tears: "My mother has suffered all these years, and my daughter is really unscrupulous, and I can't share my mother's worries. Let the mother bear so much suffering alone. ”

Her mother shook her head sadly, and said: "No, my mother knew your father, and then had you, and my mother felt that this was already a gift from God, but my mother was sorry for you, and I knew that it would be a kind of imprisonment for you to let you go on the road of power, but my mother still did this, Lan'er, will you resent your mother?" ”

Jielan shook her head and said, "Mother is willing to give up the throne for my father, and I have been waiting for my father for nearly twenty years, and now, I have returned to the royal city for the sake of the world, how can I hate such a mother, but, mother, do you hate your father?" Do you hate him for abandoning you and leaving you for no reason? ”

Her mother thought of the man who had been away for more than ten years, and the man who abandoned her, it was impossible to say that she didn't hate it, but she always believed that there was a reason for all this, she always believed that the person she fell in love with was a hero who stood up to the sky, not a man who would escape and be lonely when things came, he left maybe just to not let herself wait any longer, she kept telling herself that since she was separated, she either chose to hate, or choose to forget, or choose to be indifferent, and King Xiao chose to believe, It is better to hide hope in her heart than to lose hope, she smiled slightly, and said: "Maybe I hated it before, but now my mother doesn't hate it anymore, because my mother has Lan'er, you are his gift to stay with me, he didn't take you away, I believe it is to give me a hope and a reliance, Lan'er, don't hate your father, let alone look down on your father, your father She is a person who is willing to give up everything, so he left maybe for me and you, I only hope that before I leave this world, if God has mercy, Let me see him again, let me know that he is still alive, still alive in some part of this world, as long as this is enough. ”

A woman, for a man, how much to give up in order to get back a man's heart, Jielan doesn't understand, because her love has not yet come to the step of being like a mother, she is thinking, if there is such a man, the two love each other, but let both parties give up their status and identity for each other, to live a secluded life, I don't know if Jielan can do it, and I don't know if the person she loves can do it.

Thinking of this, Jielan couldn't help but laugh softly, because she felt that her idea of extravagant hope was too ridiculous, because she knew that the person she loved in her heart was Qing Zhan, if he was asked to give up his position as a young monarch and leave this troublesome world with himself, and go to live a free life, I am afraid he would never be, otherwise, he would not have been so deliberate to cooperate with his mother to awaken his demon blood, and he would not have taken such pains to lead himself to the royal city, He will not deliberately involve himself in the war between Chiyan City and Qing Zhou City, he has only one purpose in doing this, hoping that he will inherit his mother's will, ascend the throne, and become the person who rules the world, how can such a person be willing to give up everything for himself?

Therefore, although her father, whom she had never met, eventually chose to leave her mother, her mother was at least happier than her, because at least one man was willing to give up everything for her at the beginning, but he did not.

When her mother saw a very strange look on her daughter's face, she was a little curious and asked, "What's wrong with Lan'er?" ”

Jielan smiled bitterly and shook her head, she gently rubbed her mother's hand, and said, "I also think that my mother is happy, at least happier than my daughter, if I see my father one day, I will definitely escort him to see my mother, so that my mother's wish will be fulfilled." ”

Seeing that her daughter didn't resent herself anymore, King Xiao was relieved, but when she heard her daughter's words, she looked quite miserable, and she was also a little worried in her heart, she asked in a low voice: "Lan'er, you told your mother, is there anything between you and Qing Zhan Shaojun?" For I see that she does not treat you the way a courtier should treat a princess. ”

Jielan thought of Qing Zhan, and there was infinite love in her heart, but at this moment her heart was a little cold, because she felt that Qing Zhan didn't really like herself, just because she admired herself, so his feelings for herself were probably not what she thought, but Jielan didn't want her mother to worry about herself, and she now knew that Shaojun and Wang had an insurmountable boundary, and the two could not be married, which was also to prevent the king with supreme power and the Shaojun power with the same rights as the king from merging. This will lead to the situation that the world is dominated by these two people, if it was before, Jielan still had a trace of possibility with Qing Zhan, but now, let alone the possibility, even if they get too close, I am afraid that they will become a handle for the people in the court, so Jielan must keep a distance from him from now on. Jielan smiled indifferently at her mother, shook her head, and said: "It's okay, he has always known that I am a princess, a mother and your daughter, so he has always respected me and protected me, not what my mother thought, between me and him, from now on, is the relationship between a monarch and a minister." ”

She said this very decisively, with a resolute color in her words, which made people not feel the pain and sourness in her heart, as if she had already decided from this moment on, and between her and Qing, this was the end.

And Qing Zhan, who was flying in front of their palanquin, still thought in her mind that she had finally come to the royal city, and finally walked towards his path, but what we had to work was how to be together, how to break the shackles of those laws and regulations, and walk together.

Two hearts that are not far apart are already far apart at this moment, so far away that they can't walk in, so far away that they can't seem to get closer to each other forever.

Maybe Qing Zhan is a resourceful person, everything seems to be under his control, but there is one thing he miscalculated, that is, Jielan's heart, he can't control the heart of a woman who has fallen in love, because it is too fickle and unpredictable.

And Jielan in the sedan chair didn't think about him anymore, she only thought about her father, thought about her future, and thought about what would happen to her? Thinking about it, she felt a little sleepy, so she leaned on her mother's shoulder and fell asleep, and her mother looked at this delicate daughter, who was so tired that she was about to collapse but still supported her daughter, how could her heart not ache, she patted her shoulder and let her fall asleep slowly.

Slept for a while, suddenly, Jielan was woken up softly by her mother, she opened her misty eyes, and looked out, but saw that this was already in the royal court, the maid walked to the front of the sedan chair, and lifted the sedan curtain lightly, Jielan thought that she had officially entered the royal court, a few days ago she was still trying her best to think about how to break into the royal court, but she didn't expect that two days later, she entered the royal court as the king to be elected, this sudden change made her feel a little emotional.

The maid stretched out her hand and stood there humbly, King Xiao held his daughter's hand and asked her not to be nervous, Jielan nodded, she took a deep breath, and then helped her mother, pressed the maid's hand, and carefully walked out of the sedan chair.

As soon as Jielan and King Xiao came out, the welcoming guards in the palace knelt down and shouted, "Welcome the princess back to the palace!" ”

Princess Nanrong, who was with King Belon behind Xiao Dynasty, beckoned, and Nanrong left her father and walked over, King Xiao took her hand, she held Nanrong with her left hand, and her daughter with her right hand, and said to the guards: "These two are the auxiliary kings of the royal city from today onwards, and the two of them have the same status and the same rights, and you all need to respect them and listen to them, but you must also supervise them and remind them, because after fifty days, this king will once again let the ministers elect the new lord that everyone wants, And the new Lord was chosen from both of them, do you understand? ”

All the soldiers were very surprised when they heard this, and felt that the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens did not elect a new master, but instead became two auxiliary kings, which had never happened, but since the king said so, how could the soldiers have any objections, and they all shouted in unison: "Meet the two auxiliary kings, the ministers must be attentive to assist, and dare not slack off!" ”

King Xiao looked at Jielan, hoping that she could answer the salute to the soldiers, after Jielan looked at her mother's expression, she didn't know what to say to these soldiers, and she couldn't say it for a while, but Princess Nanrong was very calm, she stepped forward, faced the soldiers, and said loudly: "The soldiers don't have to be polite, Nanrong usually gets the care of the generals, Nanrong is grateful, after that, he will assist the king to deal with the government, if there is anything wrong, please include the generals, and please speak out, Nanrong will gladly accept the advice of the generals. ”

When all the generals heard that Princess Nanrong was so humble and polite, they naturally felt close in their hearts, and they also felt that this princess was quite a king, so they all said in unison: "Thank you princess for your love, and your subordinates will serve loyally!" ”

Jielan heard Nanrong say such a thing, and she was ashamed, after all, she hadn't lived in this kind of palace since she was a child, how to talk to these generals to be proper Jielan really didn't understand, she suddenly felt that she was too useless, she couldn't achieve Nanrong's ability at all, I was afraid that she would eventually disappoint her mother. King Xiao saw that the soldiers were very respectful of Princess Nanrong, so he gently tugged Jielan's hand, hoping that she could also say a few words to these generals.

Jielan was a little nervous, her brain was in a mess, she didn't know what to say, she thought for a long time before she swallowed: "The generals guard the royal court day and night, it must be hard, the royal court has you, we can be safe, so without you, the royal court will no longer exist, here, I thank you as an auxiliary king, and I also hope that you can continue to persist for the peace of the royal court and the peace of the blood Ying country, okay?" Jielan was in a daze, remembering what the Xuanming City Lord said to her soldiers when she first ascended the throne, she would not have said it, but at this moment, she actually moved over and said it, and she didn't know whether she was right or wrong in doing this.
