There has never been a moment when Yang Shu hated his own incompetence as much as he does now.
He knew clearly that his mother was suffering, but he couldn't save her from the suffering at all, and even asked her to harm herself to save him!
All this is because he is too incompetent!
"I'm sorry..." he murmured.
Instead, Concubine Pei laughed softly and said softly: "Silly boy, how old are you, do you still want to compete with the king of a country? Don't blame yourself, even animals know how to protect their cubs. When you were still young, your mother
I should protect you. When you grow up and become capable, you can protect your mother."
She paused and then said: "After waiting for so many years, you have finally grown up, and my mother has hope. This is a critical time for us, mother and son, so you must stay calm. Don't let hatred destroy your reason.
Remember, your life is precious and not for revenge."
Yang Shu nodded vigorously and kept every word of Concubine Pei in mind.
"Although you are leaving, you are running towards the hope of our mother and son. If you stay in Beijing, we can't do anything. Our wealth and life will always be in the hands of others, and we can only wait passively. Only by leaving can you hold it.
Your own destiny, life or death, rise or fall, is all your own choice. Your grandmother has taught you so many skills, and now you finally have a place to put them to use. Don't come back in a hurry, either you won't make a move, or you will hit with one hit.
, wait until you are absolutely sure, then come and see mother."
Concubine Pei who said these words had no sadness on her face, only calmness and calmness.
Mingwei deeply understood why she was able to dominate the harem for eighteen years.
Not only by beauty, but more importantly by mind.
She recalled her past life, what was the outcome of Concubine Pei?
I just remember that Emperor Wen wanted to be buried with Concubine Pei, but failed.
Come to think of it, Yang Shu in that life had no choice but to fly away before Fu Jin came.
He is extremely talented, focuses on swordsmanship, and will become a master sooner or later.
At that time, how could he allow his mother to accompany the emperor?
As long as I have the ability, I will definitely come back and take her away.
Speaking of which, in the history after the death of Emperor Wen, no relevant records of Concubine Pei can be found.
She sincerely hoped that it was Yang Shu who took her away.
Thinking of this, Mingwei's thoughts diverged.
Swordsmanship, a great master... It seems...
Concubine Pei gave some more detailed instructions. As time passed by, Xuanfei couldn't help but come out to remind her.
"You two, it's almost time."
Concubine Pei sighed, took out a jade ring from her arms, and put it in his palm: "When your mother was pregnant with you, she often woke up from her dreams at night. Your father then went to ask Emperor Taizu to give him this thing as a gift from the real dragon.
Shocked by the pressure. We had discussed your name and later engraved it on it. Unfortunately, when I left you, you were too young to stay. Now, I can finally leave it to you."
Yang Shu took the jade ring, rubbed his fingertips gently at the hidden button pointed by Concubine Pei, and found the word.
Yan.
So, his real name is-Jiang Yan?
Special is death, and evolution is life.
I see.
Cui Shun's voice came from outside: "Empress, your body is still recovering, so you must take care of yourself and go back early, right?"
Concubine Pei raised her voice: "I know, I will leave soon."
She stood up, wrapped her cloak tightly around her body, and looked at her son, who was already a head taller than her: "Remember what I just said, if you are not sure enough, never go back to Beijing!"
When Yang Shu nodded, she smiled, then walked up to Ming Wei and leaned down deeply.
"Empress!" Mingwei didn't dare to accept the courtesy and hurriedly supported her.
Concubine Pei held her hand and said softly: "There is no empress here, only a mother who cannot be with her son. As a mother, Pei Rong asks the girl to help him if possible..."
How could Mingwei say no? She could only nod and reply clearly: "Don't worry, I will do my best to make him get his wish."
Concubine Pei showed a satisfied smile: "I will repay this favor one day."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the door.
Yang Shu held the jade ring that still retained her body temperature and watched Concubine Pei getting further and further away from him step by step.
He suddenly raised his legs, ran over quickly, hugged her fiercely, and his low voice sounded like crying in her ears: "Mother——"
This is the first time he calls me mother.
Not aunt, but mother.
Concubine Pei tightly grasped his already thick shoulders and burst into tears again.
After letting herself cry for a while, she pushed Yang Shu away and wiped away the tears on her face.
"Go back, you will have a chance to call me mother in the future."
After saying this, she turned around decisively and stopped looking at him.
The door opened and Concubine Pei walked out of the altar.
The three of them hid behind the door and heard her voice coming.
"Go back to the palace!"
…
On the way back, Yang Shu remained silent.
Mingwei quietly grabbed his hand and slowly opened his fist.
He kept holding his hands so tightly that the veins were showing.
After being caressed by her over and over again, he finally relaxed and looked a little dazed, showing a trace of exhaustion.
Returning to Xuandu Temple, Xuanfei opened the exit of the secret passage, and just as he was about to climb out, he heard Ming Wei say: "Hey, Master Guoshi."
Xuanfei turned around and looked at her warily.
Ming smiled very sweetly: "Let's go up later and help guard for a while?"
Xuanfei was silent for a long time and said: "This is the restricted area of Xuandu. Don't do anything weird!"
"What did the Master say? Am I this kind of person? Don't worry!"
Xuanfei is not at ease at all!
But if she doesn't agree, who knows if she will do something even stranger!
So, he snorted and climbed out first.
The secret door is closed, and there is only the light of the torch in the secret passage.
Mingwei pulled him and sat on the steps.
Yang Shu let her pull her around and was extremely obedient.
"Come," Mingwei pressed him down and lay on her knees, "close your eyes, don't think about anything, feel your emotions, cry if you want to, laugh if you want to laugh."
Yang Shu just lay down like this, with his head resting on her lap, her nose filled with her body fragrance with a hint of herbs, and his chaotic heart slowly calmed down.
He closed his eyes, indulged himself, and cried silently.
Turn all the pain and regret into tears and flow them out.
When all the tears flowed away, he was no longer the cheerful and indulgent young man he used to be.
…
Outside the secret passage, the three people saw Xuan Fei coming out alone and surrounded him.
"Where is my young master?"
"Why did you close the exit?"
"You want to suffocate my young master in there?!"
"And my lady? What did you do?"
Xuanfei was so noisy by their chattering that he couldn't help shouting: "You guys have some brains, okay? Even if I really want to do something, I can't beat them two!"
Duofu thought for a while: "That's right, Miss is amazing."
Ah Wan muttered: "That's right. With the young master's skills, it's easy to clean up."
Xuanfei: "..."
To think that he, the majestic master of Xuandu Temple and the protector of Da Qi, would actually debase himself to win the trust of others??
