Ye Qilin was really fast, and it didn't take long for them to reach the desert...
"Wow, so beautiful." Ke'er couldn't help shouting loudly.
"As long as you like it." Liu Jia still smiled lightly.
The lonely smoke in the desert and the sun setting over the long river are the most beautiful poems in Ke'er's opinion, but she has never seen them with her own eyes. Today, she is blessed with a vision.
Everything in front of her seemed so unreal. It was obviously a dark night, but it was extremely bright. The full moon hung high in the sky. Ke'er suddenly discovered that the moon was the roundest and largest moon she had ever seen in her life, and,
She felt that in the desert, the moon was really close to her, maybe it was a feeling.
She also naughtily touched the moon with her hand. With her eyes closed, she seemed to be able to feel the coolness of the moon in her palms...
When he opened his eyes, he saw a vast desert around him. There was no trace of people at all, and there was nothing except the fine sand. Ke'er suddenly felt that his heart was very vast, and he felt that he was not bound by anything.
"Brother Lujia, it's really amazing. I feel like I'm like a horse now, I can run freely..." Ke'er shouted while running.
It had been a long time since I had indulged like this. It was really comfortable. The breeze occasionally blew over my cheeks, and Ke'er's long hair was gently blown up.
"Ke'er, are you a desert fairy? How can you be so beautiful? So light and agile?" Looking at Ke'er with a flowery smile, Liu Jia couldn't help but sigh.
Ke'er stuck out her little tongue: "Yes, how do you know? I am actually a fairy, but I am very low-key, so I choose not to let you know my identity."
Seeing Ke'er getting carried away, Liujia shook her head helplessly, lamenting the little girl's naughty nature, but suddenly thought of what she just said? Low-key?
So Liujia asked with confusion: "Ke'er? What is low-key?"
Ke'er smiled mysteriously: "Being low-key is the best way to show off." Liujia smiled gently. He was not surprised to hear strange things from Ke'er's mouth. On the contrary, he was used to it.
Ke'er simply took off his shoes and socks and walked barefoot on the fine sand. It felt soft and warm. Ke'er hummed a tune while walking, while Liu Jia just watched quietly.
She was left alone to act wildly. After a while, the novelty wore off, and Ke'er was tired. She simply lay down on the fine sand, resting her head on her hands, turned her head and smiled at Liujia: "Brother Liujia, come here quickly."
, you also lie down, let’s enjoy the moon and stars together, it’s really a pleasure.”
"Okay." Lujia has never refused Ke'er's request.
"Brother Lujia, do you have any secrets you can share with me?" Ke'er asked mischievously.
Liu Jia was stunned: "Why do you want to share a little secret?"
Ke'er said mysteriously: "Because, only secrets are things that others don't know, but Brother Lujia and I are close friends, so I want to know some little secrets that others don't know, but I know."
"Okay." Liu Jia looked at Ke'er dotingly, then looked up at the sky to recall memories, and then slowly said: "My father had eight wives and concubines. Although my mother was the queen at the time, she was not favored.
, because my father gave three thousand favors to Empress Li Ji, the most beautiful woman in Mobei."
The smile on Ke'er's face gradually disappeared because she once heard the story of the emperor's family competing for favor... This feeling was very sad and boring...
Ryuga continued: "Because Li Ji had no family background and was just an ordinary herdsman, she had nothing in the palace except her father's favor. Later, she gave birth to a prince.
Ke'er was quite surprised: "It turns out that Beixi has other princes besides you, but why haven't I seen them or heard anyone talk about them?"
Liu Jia said sadly: "Because after his death, after his father became seriously ill, his mother formed a clique for personal gain, began to monopolize power, and imprisoned Li Ji and her son. Later, when his father died, the queen used the name of charming the monarch and impure blood.
, killed them."
"It seems that the Queen Mother is a cruel and ruthless woman." Kerr said without hesitation.
Liujia nodded: "I once resented her and her cruelty, but she was indifferent. She even said confidently that if they don't die, the throne will not be mine, but I really don't want this throne. Maybe it's
As a result of karma, after Li Ji and the others died, I started to have a fever, and unexpectedly contracted the cold disease, so I have been in poor health since I was a child."
Ke'er was surprised: "Brother Lujia? Do you have a cold? Are you cured now? Is it important?"
"It doesn't matter, it's much better already." Luca said with a smile, covering up his lies.
Maybe it was because Liu Jia's expression was always so calm, so Ke'er really didn't pay much attention to it, so he didn't notice Liu Jia's lies.
"Brother Lujia, what has been your wish since childhood?" Ke'er suddenly asked Liujia.
Lujia looked at the sky and said slowly: "Turn into an eagle and soar above the blue sea and sky..."
"Why do you like to be an eagle?" Ke'er asked puzzledly.
Lujia smiled: "Because it is the freest bird in the sky, flying the most freely and happily."
Ke'er looked at Liujia with pity. This child who didn't want to be an emperor was forced by his mother to sit on the throne of the God King. What seemed to others to be an infinite glory was the greatest constraint for him.
"Ke'er, what about you? Do you have any wishes?" Liujia turned his head and looked at Ke'er gently.
Ke'er smiled sadly: "I want to go home."
"That's easy to handle. I'll order you to be sent back to Xiliang to live for a few days in the next few days." Liujia said with concern.
Ke'er twitched her lips: "No need, the home I'm talking about is not Xiliang, but I don't know where it is because I don't know where home is."
Liu Jia felt very sad after hearing this, thinking that Ke'er was not favored by Xi Liang, and now he was ostracized by Nan Yu, so he was afraid that there would be no place for him, so he gently held her hand and said softly: "Ke'er, if
If you dislike the poverty here and the strong wind and sand here, then from now on, Mobei will be your home, and the desert grassland will be the symbol of your hometown."
Liujia's tone was extremely gentle, and Ke'er couldn't help but shed tears for a moment, and looked at Liujia with emotion: "Thank you, Brother Liujia, I like Mobei very much, so this will be my home from now on."
Seeing Ke'er say this, Liu Jia was very happy and couldn't help but hold Ke'er's jade hand even more tightly...
But at this moment, Ke'er thought of that person, that evil face...
So, Ke'er awkwardly broke away from Liu Jia's hand, stood up, and felt the cool breeze and bright moon in the desert...
Liu Jia did not speak, but looked at her profile quietly. This beautiful and quiet night, with such a beautiful woman, I am afraid that Liu Jia will never forget it in his life.
Zhuque Palace
The Queen Mother had just finished praying to the Buddha, and first came to greet her. As soon as she came in and sat down, Queen Feng Bitong walked in with red eyes.
"Mother, you have to make the decision for your son." Feng Bitong's voice was trembling, mixed with tears.
The Queen Mother was used to her being like this, so she asked impatiently: "What's going on?"
"Mother, sons and ministers... it's hard to say anything." After saying that, Feng Bitong glanced at Hua Yunzi.
Concubine Hua stood up knowingly: "I, my concubine, will leave first."
The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Yunzi, sit down, you don't have to leave, we are all a family, there is nothing we can't say."
After saying that, he looked at Feng Bitong again: "Tong'er, tell me."
Seeing that the Queen Mother had no intention of letting Hua Yunzi go, Feng Bitong had no choice but to say with a mournful face: "Mother, my son is feeling miserable. I have been married to the emperor for many years, and except for the wedding night, the emperor has never touched my son."
"What?" The Queen Mother couldn't believe it at all.
"Mother, everything you say is true, and the servants in my palace can testify." Feng Bitong was afraid that the Queen Mother would not believe it, so she said.
"Didn't the Emperor go to your place several times every month?" The Queen Mother's face looked very ugly.
Feng Bitong nodded: "Well, yes, but every time the emperor comes, he always sleeps alone in my study."
With a bang, the Queen Mother became furious and knocked over the tea set on the table: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing before?"
Feng Bitong cried even harder: "In the past, it was because I thought that the emperor might not be used to my son yet, and he would get better slowly. But now, since the singing girl from Nan Yu came, my son has not even been able to get used to his monthly salary."
The sky is gone, and I am truly a widow."
"Insolent, Tong'er, you are the queen, how can you say such filthy words." The Queen Mother was obviously very dissatisfied with Feng Bitong's choice of words.
The Queen Mother thought for a while, then looked sideways at Ji Ji: "Yunzi, when the emperor comes to your place, does he also sleep in the study?"
Side Ji knew that she could not hide it from the Queen Mother's discernment. Rather than being found out by the Queen Mother, it would be better for her to say it herself, so she nodded lightly: "Yes."
The Queen Mother immediately stood up angrily: "How dare this traitor do this..." After saying that, the Queen Mother fainted.
"Mother, Queen Mother." Feng Bitong and Hua Yunzi immediately stepped forward to support the Queen Mother, and immediately called Chun'er. Hua Yunzi checked the Queen Mother's pulse and said softly: "The Queen Mother was just filled with anger, and her chest was filled with a sigh of relief.
That’s all, just take a rest.”
Feng Bitong opened Hua Yunzi's hand with a snap: "You are from the Chinese ethnic group, do you really think you are a miracle doctor? What should I do if the diagnosis is wrong? Can you bear the crime?"
Hua Yunzi was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head: "Sister is right, Yunzi is guilty."
"Hmph, get out of here, Chun'er, why are you standing there stupidly? Doctor Xuan is here." Feng Bitong roared.
"Yes, Queen." Chun'er took the order and immediately ran out of the palace.
After Liu Jia knew about it, she rushed over immediately. By this time, the Queen Mother had already woken up, but she still looked a little tired.
"Mother, how are you?" Ryuka approached the bed and asked with concern.
The Queen Mother did not answer with a low face, but asked: "Emperor, why don't you favor Tong'er and Yunzi? As an emperor, you originally had few concubines, but now you have a different room. Do you want to let the Beixi royal family
Absolutely?"
Liu Jia's expression was sad: "Mother, you don't even know."
"How long do you want to keep this secret from me? Have you ever thought that if you have nothing to do, your position as emperor will be on the verge of collapse. Your mother is still alive, so she can fight for your rights to keep it for you, but if there is
The Queen Mother is gone? Who will help you?" The Queen Mother was furious, angry at Liu Jia's actions.
Liu Jia lowered his head, not daring to look into the Queen Mother's eyes: "Mother, I don't want to sleep with a woman I don't love."
The Queen Mother's face suddenly turned pale with anger: "Don't love? Who do you love? Tell me? Is it that Nanyu geisha? Can her family protect your throne? Can she bring you the stability of power?"
"Mother, love is pure and cannot be mixed with these vulgar things. It will only tarnish the word love." Liu Jia retorted to the Queen Mother unconvinced.
The Queen Mother laughed dumbly: "Luka, the word love, you actually said love to the Ai family? Then I tell you clearly now, the moment you were born into the emperor's family, you no longer have the right to say love, your mission
It is to protect Beixi’s country and become the emperor of Beixi.”
"Why can't you choose love when you are born into an emperor's family? Why?" Ryuka's emotions were a little out of control.
"There is no reason. This is my mission. I tell you that you must have sex with the queen and concubine in the future. I will send someone to supervise you at all times. Otherwise, your sweetie will be alive." The queen mother coughed a few times and said fiercely.
.
Liu Jia looked at his mother hurt and said softly: "I follow your mother's wishes, don't touch Ke'er, she is just an innocent outsider."
"An outsider? After she comes here, she is destined not to be an innocent person. In the eyes of the Ai family, there are only those who deserve to die and those who do not deserve to die." The Queen Mother said with an angry look.
"Mother..." Lujia still wanted to say something for Ke'er.
Suddenly the Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Go down. The Ai family is tired. You must remember what I said to you, otherwise don't blame the Ai family for being ruthless."
"Mother, am I your biological child?" Ryuka asked with tears in her eyes.
