Mingyang walked out of the palace gate, looked at Liuyun who was supported by the attendants, and said coldly, "Do you dare to talk more in the future?"

Liuyun smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, people are ruthless, why is it so far." ”

Mingyang heard Liuyun say the same thing as Xuan Che had said, and he was also very angry, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he turned around and entered the hall. As soon as he entered, he saw Xiu Yuan holding Xuan Che's hand, gently rubbing it on his face, and then whispered, "Master, with Xiu Yuan by your side, I would rather get hurt myself than let you get hurt." After that, he kissed her wound again, and then carefully put her hand back in the quilt.

Mingyang suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning. He is also a man, he saw Xiuyuan's feelings for Xuan Che from the eyes of his son, Xiu Yuan, that kind of look is by no means between an apprentice and a master, but more like a husband and wife. He didn't know what Xuan Che thought of this apprentice, he only knew that this apprentice of hers liked her.

Even if he is as calm as he is, he doesn't know how to deal with this matter. As a man, he doesn't want anyone to rob him of Xuan Che. And as a father, he doesn't want his son to have an affair with his master.

He stood at the door for a long time, then walked in and said to Xiu Yuan, who was sitting in front of Xuan Che's bed, "Follow me to the Netherworld Garden and see your mother." ”

Xiu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then agreed, after all, what the Emperor said meant that things had taken a turn for the better. When he went out, he turned around again and looked at Xuan Che on the bed. This qiē was seen by Mingyang, and he said quietly, "Actually, I also think that I punished your mother too heavily, I just got angry with her for being so unruly." ”

Xiu Yuan responded, "That's natural, it's indeed a bit too much for my mother to do this." ”

The two didn't say anything all the way.

As for the Netherworld Garden, before Xiuyuan entered, he felt the aura of forest inside. This Netherworld Garden is the location of the Heavenly Court's punishment of the maids and attendants who make mistakes, and it is full of gloomy and ghostly atmosphere, as if it is a copy of the Netherworld, so this place is called the Netherworld Garden.

Along the way, Xiu Yuan only saw a few maids, locked among the thorns in the Netherworld, some with languishing expressions, some with dull eyes, and some were already dying. After walking for a while, the two of them saw a huge thorn cage. One of them, dressed in plain monk's robes, turned his back to him, and was silently praying to the Buddha. Xiu Yuan knew that this was his mother, Concubine Yao.

The two walked to the front of the cage. Mingyang shouted, "Ah Hui, look who I brought here." ”

The person in the cage still didn't look back, the wooden fish in her hand kept screeching, and her voice was like the sound of the wooden fish, calm, without a trace of waves, "Who are you bringing here, what do you have to do with me?"

Mingyang's attitude towards her had long been accustomed to it, and he didn't see him angry, so he only said lightly, "Since you don't want to see Xiuyuan, then I'll take him back." ”

The man in the cage heard the word Xiuyuan, his body shook violently, and the wooden fish in his hand also stopped. "Did you lie to me, why were you so kind?" he said in disbelief, but his voice was choked.

Seeing her like this, Xiu Yuan couldn't bear it, so he carefully shouted, "Mother, my father and I have come to see you." ”

Hearing Xiu Yuan call himself Daddy, Mingyang was also stunned. And Concubine Yao in the cage has long been crying, "You call me mother, you call me mother, you are a thousand years old this year, but you have never called me mother, I have been waiting for this sound, waiting so hard, it has been a thousand years." ”

Xiu Yuan listened to her cry, and his heart was extremely unbearable. Only then did he understand that the relationship between children and parents cannot be separated. Even though she hasn't seen her mother in all these years, she has always remembered herself and always missed herself. The last time she saw her in the Netherworld, she only thought that her mother, accompanied by her father, would have a good life, but now it seems that she was wrong.

Concubine Yao stretched out her hand from the thorns and said to Xiu Yuan, "Child, come forward and let your mother touch your face." You've grown so big, and no one has ever hugged you. ”

Xiu Yuan choked up and said, "I've grown up, and my mother can't hold me anymore." As he spoke, he walked over to the thorn cage, knelt on the ground, and put his face in her hand.

Concubine Yao stroked his eyebrows and eyes, and cried, "It's really a good boy from my mother, I am so good-looking, come, let my mother look at you a few more times." ”

Mingyang said lightly behind him: "It's too late to look at it later." I came today to let you out. In the past few days, you can let Xiu Yuan accompany you in your palace for a few days. ”

Concubine Yao was stunned for a moment when she heard Mingyang's words, and then asked as if she didn't believe it, "Are you serious?"

Mingyang said coldly: "You have no jokes. Yan Bi had already opened the barrier around the thorn cage with his hand. Seeing that the barrier had been opened, Xiu Yuan took the thorns aside with his hands, and then took out his mother, who was kneeling on the ground.

Concubine Yao was crying and laughing at the moment because of this series of changes, but she didn't know what to do.

The three of them came out of the Netherworld Garden and went to Concubine Yao's bedroom, Taihe Palace. Mingyang Hall sat down for a while, and saw that the two of them had a deep relationship between mother and son, and he seemed redundant on the side, so he left Xiuyuan alone in Taihe Palace, and returned to Lingxiao Hall alone. As soon as he returned to Lingxiao Palace, an attendant came to report, saying that Xuan Che had woken up.

When Mingyang entered the side hall, Xuan Che had already gotten up and drank the freshly brewed Fuyao cloud tea by the warped head in the hall. Xuan Che saw him come in, motioned with his eyes for him to sit down opposite, then poured him a cup of tea, and said casually, "Thanks to your care these days, my injuries are almost healed." I'm going to go to Lingshan to see a few bodhisattvas, so I won't bother anymore. ”

Mingyang picked up the tea, took a sip, and said, "When are you leaving?"

Xuan Che said lightly: "After drinking this cup, leave." ”

Mingyang knew that she was answering like this, and he was not surprised, so he pretended to ask unintentionally, "Apprentice who doesn't go to the underworld first?"

Xuan Che muttered, "No, he has your care, nothing should happen." Besides, I, the master, can't accompany him for a lifetime, and there are some roads that he still needs to walk by himself. ”

When Mingyang heard her say this, he was happy in his heart, and said with a smile, "That's fine." ”

Mingyang has always been indifferent, and Xuan Che saw that he was laughing at the moment, and he was a little confused. But she won't get to the bottom of his business. He drank the tea in his hand and said, "I'm going." Then he got up and walked out of the side hall.

Mingyang knew that he couldn't keep her, and in the current situation, he couldn't keep her. He turned the warm teacup in his hand around in his palm, his brow furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he suddenly smiled and said, "Just do it, in this way, you will never be together again, and I don't have to worry too much." He put down the teacup in his hand, walked out of the side hall quickly, and said to the attendant at the door, "Summoning Wen Quxing to come over and say that I have something to discuss." ”
