Yi Tong was about to leave in a hurry, but what else the man wanted to say. Mu Youli walked over and hugged Yi Tong's shoulder and said, "The wind is strong, why is it coming out again?"
Yitong buried her face in front of his chest and did not speak. The man was a little surprised to see the two of them behave intimately.
The person behind Mu Youfeng was unknown and shouted sternly: "What's going on?"
"It's okay. My princess is not in good health, so I will send her back to the room first. Ruan Zhong arranged for these two adults to go to the guest room to rest." Mu Youfeng ordered, but he took Yitong away.
"Please go here!" Ruan Zhong brought the two of them to the guest rooms.
"What's going on today?" As soon as Ruan Zhong left, the adult began to question: "What is this place? How can you be rude to other people's women?!"
"Sir... the small... the small, I just recognize that... the man is the ninth princess!" Another person stammered.
"What?!" Another surprise, with doubts: "Have you seen it clearly? Is it true?"
"Mr. Liang, I will never read it wrong! I am really the Ninth Princess back then." The servant said with confidence.
Lord Liang narrowed his eyes and thought deeply: "It was rumored that the Ninth Princess and the Fourth Prince... Could it be.........?"
"No wonder, over the years, the emperor has not found her even after searching everywhere!" The servant said after Lord Liang.
"Sir! What should we do now? Do you want to send a letter to the emperor?" The servant suggested when he saw Lord Liang silent.
Lord Liang waved his hand: "Let me think about it first!"
"Who are those two?" Yitong grabbed Mu Youfeng's clothes and asked nervously.
Mu Youli looked at her frightened face and reached out to hold her little hand: "It's okay, it's okay. It's just two outsiders."
"No! No. He...he recognized me." Yi Tong lowered his head, and Mu Youfeng's comfort obviously did not work.
Mu Youli hugged her, not speaking, and wanted to give her a sense of security.
"You!" Yi Tong shouted his name low, but soon raised his head: "Are they from the Mu Family Dynasty? Are you still related to Mu Yanqin now?"
Her questioning made Mu Youfeng not know how to answer. After looking at her quietly for a while, Mu Youfeng slowly said: "They are indeed from the Mu Family Dynasty, but Mu Yanqin and I don't have them."
Contact. He was just here to discuss business."
Yi Tong stared in his eyes, knowing that he was not lying, so she felt relieved: "What should I do now? They must have recognized me!"
Mu Youli looked at her faintly and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go back?"
Yi Tong was startled and looked up, but tears were already in her eyes: "You...how did you think I still want to go back?"
Seeing her eyes filled with tears, Mu Youfeng felt very guilty, stepped forward and hugged her in his arms: "I'm sorry! I..."
Yi Tong leaned into his arms, heard his heartbeat clearly, and felt a little relieved, and said confidently: "I will never look back on the forgotten past!"
After hearing her words, Mu Youli seemed relieved: "What else are you worried about?"
"I'm worried, if he knows..." Yi Tong didn't even want to mention that person's name.
"I don't care about anything! I only care about your heart! If you say you don't want to go back, you won't go back!" Mu Youfeng buried her face deeply in her hair, smelling the fragrance that belongs to her.
Because he was worried about meeting the two people from the Mu family dynasty, Yi Tong would not appear in the front yard.
But what should come will always come. At night, Mu Youfeng was in the study, and someone quietly knocked on Yitong's door.
"Who?" Yi Tong opened the door and saw Lord Liang standing at the door.
"Miss Yitong! I have something to say to you, but I wonder if I can hear it?" He stood outside the door and said earnestly.
"Please come in!" Yi Tong opened the door and asked him to come in. She knew that if she didn't explain it clearly this time, there would be more trouble.
"Dare you ask where the girl's hometown?" Lord Liang asked directly as soon as he sat down.
"Mr. Liang, do you want to ask me if I am Chu You?" Yi Tong had already done some mental construction, and now she was calm.
Lord Liang's eyes flashed, and he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that she would be so calm and so direct. He was a little confused at the moment: "Maybe I don't know. After my emperor ascended the throne, I immediately issued an order. There was only one queen in this life, that is, that is, the year
The ninth princess, who never married her in this life, quarreled with the Queen Mother many times over this."
Yi Tong had never heard of this before, and couldn't help but stare at him with surprise.
Lord Liang knew that Yitong had no idea about this at all, so he smiled bitterly: "The emperor worked hard for state affairs day and night, but he still did not forget to send people to look for the Empress everywhere, just because of the body found in the Nine Prince's Mansion.
, the emperor suspected that it was not the Empress. Over the years, the emperor has worked hard, but never forgot the Empress one day. This time, although I was ordered to come to negotiate business, before leaving, the emperor privately instructed him to pay attention to inquire about the Empress.”
Lord Liang saw Yi Tong's expression and continued: "If, if possible, please go back, the Empress's follower."
Yi Tong was only then shocked. Although the suffering he suffered in those days was already gone, her heart still hurt. She said solemnly to Lord Liang: "Chu You is indeed dead!"
"Empress!" Lord Liang thought that his hard work was touched by her persuasion.
"Please don't call me that. Chu You is really dead. The moment her child dies, she dies, but you didn't find her body." Yi Tong said lightly.
"But! In order to save the Empress Dowager's life, the emperor asked the Empress Dowager for the thousand-year-old snow lotus. The emperor was responsible for the country's important tasks and must have a show for those who were impure! Why couldn't the Empress think about the Emperor?
For the sake of the Empress, the emperor said good things in front of the Empress Dowager and even exchanged conditions. Even if he married Concubine Lian as a concubine, he was forced to do so!" This Lord Liang thought that he was also a capable person around the Emperor, and he could know these inside stories.
Yi Tong also realized that the snow lotus in his body was indeed him, and it was indeed him who gave up the child to save him. Although it was still heartbreaking to think about it now, why did these entangled pasts be heard by others
Said it, not him?!
If he could have made everything clear at the beginning, how could he not stand with him and face these dangers together?
After all, he still doesn’t trust himself enough, can protect himself, and can trust himself without dragging him down.
Those dramas are so deep, how terrible should such a man be?
"Mr. Liang, maybe the emperor of a country has important responsibilities and the hope and sustenance of millions of people, but I am just a woman. I never thought of becoming a princess or a mother of the country. What I want is just a pair of people for a lifetime.
Even in those difficult times, I can be willing to face it with him. Why do I have to do a show? Who will show it to others? Or do I myself?" Yi Tong looked at Lord Liang seriously.
"But, the emperor..." Lord Liang wanted to defend himself when he heard her say this.
"But he has the weight of a country, right?" Yi Tong said for him: "The past is over. I don't want to mention it again. When I went back this time, I still said that I didn't see Chu You!
”
"The emperor has made an oath that there is only one Empress in this life. Isn't these enough?" Lord Liang is not selfish.
Yi Tong's figure shook: "Sir, it's too late, it's too late... The adult just thinks it's rare for a king of a country to marry him in this life. But he never knew that his child was the one he loved the most.
What does it feel like to kill? A woman, or a mother, can’t even keep her own children. Can adults know that kind of feeling? Do adults know how it feels like to see a little girl being ravaged by soldiers in the desert? Do adults know?
Adults are men, so men naturally have to put the country first, and emperors also have to put the country first, so sometimes what needs to be sacrificed? Can adults know the taste of being sacrificed? Can the emperor know?"
This series of questions made Lord Liang dizzy and unable to speak.
Yitong opened the door and said resolutely: "Sir, please come back!"
"Empress!" Lord Liang said, kneeling down: "Is the empress really not at all affection? How do I explain this to the emperor?"
Yitong turned around and saw a pair of scissors on the table. She picked up the scissors, cut a strand of hair, and handed it to Lord Liang: "You just need to say that your love in this life is like this broken hair, and it will never be restored. Please, forget Chu You.
Let’s be a good emperor who works diligently and loves the people!”
"Empress!" Lord Liang stood there and looked at her begging.
"I thank him for what he did for me, but Chu You is really dead, never again, can never go back. Lord Liang, come back soon! Forgot everything!" Yi Tong said as she was about to close the door.
.
When Lord Liang said anything, it was useless, so he had to hold his hair and leave.
As soon as the door was closed, Yitong burst into tears. Why didn’t he explain it clearly at that time? Why couldn’t he tell himself first when doing these things? Why did he hear these things from a stranger’s mouth at this time?
As the world changes, why do he think that he can control the overall situation without any leakage?
Thinking of what he has experienced these days and what he once said, Yi Tong's heart is so sad that it is hard to add to it.
Yi Tong cried out, she didn't know that there was a gray shadow outside the window, standing there. From beginning to end, when she heard these conversations, she saw every expression of her expression. Mu Youli looked at Yi Tong who was crying.
I didn't come in to comfort me, but just stood quietly, stood for a long time, turned around and left.
