She faced Long Jingkuang with both eyes and did not flinch, "Lian'er knelt just now because Lian'er knew that the emperor is the emperor, and the emperor has royal responsibilities on his shoulders. Huang Guo has always been harsh in handling matters of the previous dynasty.
Now that things are getting out of hand, if Lian'er asks Your Majesty to let my mother go out of the city, it may really embarrass Your Majesty. However, I still ask Your Majesty for this request, because this is what we negotiated when we started the transaction.
.Please protect my mother, the former princess... Yan Yueying."
"It would be great if you told me your mother's true identity earlier."
Long Jing thought wildly that if he had known earlier, he would have been more mentally prepared.
If he turned a blind eye and let Yan Yueying leave the city like this, he would not be able to explain it to his ministers.
Also, where is her brother Dongfang Ji?
Suddenly, he remembered that when he accompanied her back to her parents' home last time, she passed by the room where Dongfang Ji was kept...
And she did not look at the imprisoned Dongfang Ji, and was indifferent to her brother's existence.
Could it be that Dongfang Ji is no longer in Zuoxiang's Mansion a long time ago and is just a substitute there?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. There are some things that you don't just want to say. Sometimes if Your Majesty knows, it will only do harm and not half good."
Dongfang Lian knew the seriousness of the matter, so she never thought of telling Long Jingkuang about her life experience or about her mother Yan Yueying.
She knew it would be very difficult for him once he found out.
"Where's your brother?"
Long Jingkuang finally asked, "According to reports, there are quite a few masters who rescued your mother. I know you have some strength, but your strength...isn't it all in Ouyang Xiu's hands now?"
, those people should not be entirely yours."
"That's right..." Dongfang Lian nodded, "Some of those people belong to my brother. Brother, he is no longer in Zuo Xiang's Mansion. He has left Huang Country."
"Over there?"
Long Jing was so mad that he knew where Dongfang Ji, who had the blood of the previous dynasty in his body, had gone.
Also, he is probably no longer the fool that the world thinks he is.
"I can't tell you."
Dongfang Lian looked at Long Jingkuang intently, "Please fulfill your promise to me and let my mother go. If you can't do that, then I will escort you personally."
"You want to abandon me?"
Long Jingkuang sneered.
He, Long Jingkuang, had never been important in her eyes, Dongfang Lian.
"I have no choice. Between family love and you, I have to choose my mother. I'm sorry. In fact, in the past fifteen years, I didn't know that she was my biological mother. She also did it for me and my brother and sister.
I have been wronged so much. This mother makes me unable to just care about myself and abandon her. I can't do it."
"..."
Long Jingkuang was speechless and couldn't blame him.
After a long time, he made a decision, "Dongfang Lian, I can let your mother go, but she will never be allowed to enter Huang Country. And you will never leave my side..."
This is his request.
Dongfang Lian thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was the only way.
"Deal. Thank you."
"..."
Long Jingkuang's heart ached. Was it possible that in her eyes, all she had with him was deals and deals?
…
the next day.
Under Long Jingkuang's indulgence, Yan Yueying safely left the land of Huang Country and went straight to Xiling Country.
And Dongfang Lian was filled with uneasiness in the harem, because she knew that after such a thing happened, the previous dynasty would be in chaos.
