Chapter 74: Steel that has been tempered a hundred times turns into softness. [Please read and vote for me]
Neither Cao Ang nor the Queen Mother He knew that Tang Ji had noticed this scene, and they were still hugging each other tightly at this moment.
Cao Ang put one hand through the Queen Mother's waist and the other hand around her back, holding the Queen Mother firmly in his arms.
Queen Mother He buried her entire face in Cao Ang's left shoulder, clasping her hands tightly as well, as if she was trying with all her strength to blend in with Cao Ang.
Their heads were pressed tightly against each other, feeling the warmth coming from their arms and smelling the fragrance wafting from their hair, Cao Ang couldn't help but be intoxicated.
Warm fragrant soft jade, charming body.
The dumplings were as tender and soft as fresh water tofu, which made Cao Ang very excited and he couldn't wait to dive into them.
Neither of them spoke.
There were no more unnecessary movements, and the time around him seemed to have stopped at this moment, leaving only a little warmth rising in the room.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Cao Ang felt that the clothes on his left shoulder seemed to be a little wet, and at the same time, Queen Mother He's body was trembling slightly.
He couldn't help but retract his arms, hold the Queen Mother's head with both hands, lowered his head and looked at it carefully. The Queen Mother's eyes were indeed misty with tears at this moment.
The originally delicate makeup was a little faded, and the makeup and hair that had been combed earlier were also a little messy.
But in Cao Ang's view, his charm has not diminished but increased.
The wild white and tender skin still exudes a luster like ivory, and her cheeks are flushed from crying.
The narrow and slightly hooked eyebrows and the long upturned eyelashes are still stained with a little mist, matched with the delicate nose that is still twitching, and the red lips that are still as rosy and plump as fresh cherries.
It’s the pear blossoms and the rain that make it even more breathtaking!
Even with Cao Ang's determination, seeing such an enchanting scene at this moment, he couldn't help but have his thoughts wandering.
I finally waited for the Queen Mother to stop crying.
Cao Ang then gently wiped the tears on her face with his hand and smiled warmly at the same time.
"Where is the Queen Mother who has always been strong and forced to kiss me the first time we met? How did she turn into a crying little girl?"
Hearing Cao Ang's shameless remarks, Queen Mother He couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
I wanted to make some excuses, saying that I was being held hostage by him, and in order to save my face, I turned against the guest.
But for some reason, when the words came out, only a soft and coquettish sound remained.
"People are afraid~"
The moment these four words reached Cao Ang's ears, he was already half-softened.
The Queen Mother, who originally had a strong personality and was aloof, acted like a coquettish person in front of her.
Such a cute contrast made Cao Ang unbearable.
As the saying goes, steel that can be tempered a hundred times can become soft. Cao Ang thought that it could not be compared to steel that could be tempered a hundred times, so more than 95% of his body parts were already soft.
"Bo!"
Holding the head of Queen Mother He, looking for the bright red lips, Cao Ang took a sip, and the rouge on his lips suddenly faded a lot.
Then Cao Angcai said firmly: "In the future, there will never be a time like today when you are so worried!"
Queen Mother He nodded shyly.
The whole person was feeling dizzy.
She wasn't pretending to be coquettish before, but she was really scared.
No matter how noble her status is, she is just a living, flesh-and-blood person.
She usually behaves very strongly and takes the initiative in all matters big and small. Even as the son of the emperor, he can only be submissive in front of her and dare not speak loudly.
But she is also a woman!
When she encounters something beyond her ability, she will be at a loss, confused and frightened.
Especially in today's situation.
The poisonous wine was placed in front of him, with Li Ru's sharp knife beside it, and a piece of white silk hanging on the ground.
Death was so close to her for the first time!
There is great terror between life and death.
Anyone who faces death will feel fear from the bottom of their heart. Brave and persevering people may be able to suppress this fear with their willpower, but Queen Mother He is obviously not among them.
Facing Li Ru's sinister and vicious face, the Queen Mother really wanted to find a place to hide. It would be best to get into Cao Ang's arms and curl up, so that she would not have to feel afraid.
It was a pity that Cao Ang was not around at that time, and as the mother of Liu Bian and Tang Ji, she had to step forward to protect her children from the wind and rain, deal with the enemy, and thus delay time.
So throughout the whole process, Queen Mother He had been holding on with fear.
Therefore, after Liu Bian and Tang Ji took the elixir and lost consciousness, she could not wait to throw herself into Cao Ang's arms and hug him tightly.
That's why she gave such a weak response when Cao Ang asked her.
But it's fine now.
Cao Ang gave her the firmest promise.
Queen Mother He was willing to believe in such a promise from the bottom of her heart, and she vaguely felt that leaving Luoyang City and staying with Cao Ang for the rest of her life seemed to be a good choice.
…
After a long time.
Realizing that time was running out, Cao Ang couldn't help but pinch the Queen Mother's pretty face, and then handed the elixir he had collected earlier to her hand.
"It's getting late. Li Ru should be waiting impatiently. You tidy up and take this medicine, and I'll clean up for Bian'er."
Cao Ang's familiar name seemed to have regarded Liu Bian as his son. Such behavior made the Queen Mother He couldn't help but give him another look.
After a little tidying up her makeup and hair bun, the Queen Mother sat on the soft couch and was about to take medicine and lie down.
But they found Cao Ang standing beside Liu Bian and Tang Ji's soft couch, seeming to be observing something.
After a while, he started to move directly, one hand passed through the back, the other hand hugged the crook of the leg, directly picked up Tang Ji, and then placed her further inside, adjusting her position with Liu Bian.
Queen Mother He couldn't help being shocked and said: "What are you doing? You can touch me if you want, but Wan'er can't touch me!"
The corners of Cao Ang's mouth twitched slightly.
He shook his sleeves and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is Bian'er's wife, and she is my daughter-in-law. What else can I think of her?"
Seeing the disbelief on Empress Dowager He's face, as if "you are just a pervert," Cao Ang quickly explained.
"Li Ru will definitely come in later to test the effect of this elixir. There will inevitably be some physical contact, which will cause inconvenience to my daughter's family."
"It's better to let Bian'er lie on the outermost side. Li Ru can just let him touch and look at it."
This explanation is quite reliable.
Queen Mother He couldn't help but nod after hearing this.
I was secretly approving in my heart that my husband had such a delicate mind, no wonder he was so lovable.
"Okay, then I have wrongly blamed you!"
Yes, it’s back to my palace again.
After some teasing, Queen Mother He playfully winked at Cao Ang with her left eye and decisively swallowed the pill.
A few dozen breaths later.
His body, which was still undulating slightly, gradually calmed down and turned into a motionless dead wood. All vital signs also disappeared.
Cao Ang found two pieces of white cloth and covered Queen Mother He and Tang Ji tightly from top to bottom. As for Your Majesty, it's better to lie outside for now.
In this way, he just walked out of Nuange and called Li Ru in.
