Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 251

Qin Changge suddenly understood Xiao Jue's mood yesterday, and a slight pain arose in his heart.

Stopping in the wind that rolled up the messy grass, Qin Changge looked at the corner of the cornice in front of him, and told the eunuch, "Go down, I will find him myself."

The eunuch didn't dare to talk too much and stepped back, even though he knew it was against the rules, but these two were the current crown prince, and the other was the hottest grand master with power over the world, who would dare to stop them?
Since entering the Anping Palace, it has been very quiet. Baozi, who didn't know what he was thinking, suddenly pulled the corner of Qin Changge's clothes, and said seriously: "Mother, I have a question for you."

Qin Changge squatted down, looked into his son's clear eyes, had a faint premonition in his heart, and said calmly, "Ask."

"I think of my Uncle Qi and Uncle Rong." Baozi pursed his lips, not looking at his mother, but at the dry lotus pond in front of him. "Tell me, where did they go?"

Taking a deep breath, Qin Changge smiled faintly. He had been waiting for his son's question for a long time. He thought he should have asked a long time ago. He didn't want this kid to look reckless and tough, but he had a city in his mind, or he was simply afraid. What, I never asked, until today, in front of the desolate scene of Anping Palace's decay, the boy was emotionally affected, and finally asked.

Qin Changge also thought many times how she would answer if her son asked her, but when she really heard the question today, she suddenly decided to tell the truth.

"Your Uncle Qi has returned to Zhongchuan to be the king. You can still see him when you go to Zhongchuan in the future, your Uncle Rong." Qin Changge paused, and said softly, "Go."

"Dead?" Baozi asked calmly.

"Ah."

Baozi turned his head away, and after a long while, he gently pulled out a grass, twisted it between his fingers, and made an ugly grasshopper.

"Look," he handed the grasshopper to Qin Changge, "When I was a child, I always looked for my mother on the street. When I found my mother back, Uncle Qi and Uncle Rong would make amends and send her back. I thought they were going to scold me, they No scolding, Uncle Qi made his horrible candy for me to eat, Uncle Rong made grasshopper for me, he made it uglier than me."

He gave Qin Changge a dreamy big smile, and said, "That candy is unpalatable, and that grasshopper disperses as soon as it's played. It's disgusting."

Qin Changge looked at him fixedly, stretched out his hand for a while, and said softly: "Son, cry if you want to cry."

"Wow!"

Baozi threw himself into the old woman's embrace, and thrust his head into her embrace with all his might, the sound came out intermittently and indistinctly.

"...But I can't... never play again..."

Qin Changge hugged his son, patted his small back, and whispered in his ear: "Rong'er, we will always experience parting in our lives. This is a reality that everyone must accept. And you, you are the future Xiliang and even the great emperor of the world, you will have to face more cruel facts than ordinary people... My child... Cry, cry, but I hope this scene will end, In this life, you will no longer be afraid of facing any cold fate..."

"Can I...don't want the emperor...in exchange for forever not...farewell?"

"This is not a multiple-choice question. There are countless multiple-choice questions in life, but life and death are not." Qin Changge wiped away tears for his son, "Those who grew up with you, those who once held you in their arms, those who love People who have passed you, they will leave one day, but sooner or later, the only thing we can do is to learn to accept and make ourselves better, to help those who have not had time to live their lives, Live twice as wonderfully.”

"I'm sorry," she said softly, leaning into Baozi's sobbing ear, "I'm sorry, I'm an unqualified mother, I made you lose your mother when you were one year old, and you were looking for a mother on the street before you were four years old Make up for the vacancy in my heart; I failed to give you a complete and happy childhood with both parents. When you can speak, the first person you call is uncle instead of father and mother; I failed to protect your uncle who is equivalent to your relatives, and even I deliberately let you know the cruelty of life and the helplessness of parting prematurely, I have been smashing your glazed world, but I can't provide you with a happy and worry-free childhood... Rong'er, I'm sorry."

Baozi was deeply buried in her arms, stretched out his small arms, hugged her tightly, and choked, "No...you came in time, you let me find my mother, you gave me the greatest freedom , You didn’t force me to stay in Guantang Palace to be a stupid wooden prince, you let the prince be the shopkeeper, you made the shopkeeper run wild all over the place to open branches to advertise, you let me know what I should know, you let me know I get what I want...no one is better than you."

Qin Changge took a breath, looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt that he was about to cry.

I come back to this life again, wandering and wandering, with constant hardships and dangers, always feel tired, and sometimes unbearably sad, but at this moment, I suddenly feel that all this experience is not in vain after all.

She sighed softly, and hugged the small body in her arms tightly. She just felt that the time was quiet at this moment, but she didn't need to say anything anymore.

She didn't want to speak, but some people didn't want to fulfill this moment of peaceful heart-to-heart exchange between mother and child.

The warm embrace of one big and one small is so glaring in the eyes of downcast people.

"It's really touching... Your honorable grand master of Xiliang, oh, no, honorable empress, when you want to cry, do you remember how many people you have personally caused the separation of life and death? Why didn't you cry then? ?”

The voice was extremely mocking, with a touch of indifference and contempt.

"A person like you wants to cry because of parting? You deserve it?"

The voice was behind him, but Qin Changge acted as if he hadn't heard it. He only wiped away his son's tears meticulously, then slowly got up and looked back at the person behind him.

Her eyes suddenly widened.

The person in front of him was as thin as a crescent moon, and his body was covered in a robe of blue sky and water, like a thin tree with fluttering flags, flying in the wind, and the skin that exposed the cuffs and neckline was as pale as a layer. Through the film, you can vaguely see the light blue veins under the skin. There is only a pair of eyes, but there is a fire burning in it, burning hot and persistent, as if wanting to burn everything in the world.

Qin Changge stared at him blankly...Xiao Chen, is this Xiao Chen?This is the noble prince with green water and cherry red, who is full of poetry, wine, and music?Is it Xiao Chen, the emperor's younger brother with a leisurely and elegant attitude and noble aura?Is it that ethereal man who is like clear springs, flowing water, moonlight, and good words at any time?

The clear spring will dry up, the good words are gone, and all the good legends are gone, leaving only the venomous fire that is completely different from the past, burning day after day.

Qin Changge's eyes moved down slowly, and carefully looked at Xiao Chen's whole body. His clothes were still exquisite and clean, and his temperament was clean, but who knew if it was because Xiao Jue came yesterday and the eunuch who guarded him just changed it for him?

But judging from the fact that Xiao Jue was only sad but not angry yesterday, the people of Anping Palace should not abuse Xiao Chen, after all, this prince has a reputation of being kind and generous, he is a famous virtuous king, and he is loved by the people.

Qin Changge smiled sarcastically. This world is really unfair. A generation of virtuous kings have been imprisoned, but he, a vicious and vicious villain, is proud of himself. It really makes people hate it when they think about it.

Shengsheng tossed a peerless beauty into such a shapeless, ghostly ghost with hatred.

Love and hatred, what a terrible thing.

Smiling, she raised her hand and said, "My lord, are you here all right?"

"Don't call me prince," Xiao Chen said indifferently, "Thanks to you, the title King Zhao no longer exists."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, but no matter what, you are still His Majesty's younger brother. No one can erase the blood relationship." Qin Changge took his son by the hand, and idly rubbed Xiao Chen's face He stepped into the dilapidated pavilion that Xiao Chen was leaning on, and folded the half-broken lotus leaves in the lotus pond to cushion the dusty railing.

Behind him, Xiao Chen trembled from her words, grabbed the railing with his fingers convulsively, stared at her for a while, and sneered, "Queen, are you here to demonstrate today? You husband and wife came to see me back and forth, yes Want to tell me, are you going to get married again?"

He bit the word "again" very hard, and his tone was full of sarcasm.

Qin Changge rested his chin, looked up at Xiao Chen, ignored what he said just now, and just said slowly: "Xiao Chen, I found that you are the fastest person to accept the fact that I'm not dead yet."

"So what?"

"It's not that good, I'm just sure." Qin Changge stared into Xiao Chen's eyes, "You didn't enter Changle Palace at all when the incident happened."

Xiao Chen was startled and remained silent.

"If you entered the Changle Palace and saw certain facts with your own eyes, you would not be able to accept the news that the 'Queen is not dead' so quickly," Qin Changge pressed on step by step, "Xiao Chen, you didn't do anything, Who are you making a scapegoat for?"

silence.

In the extreme silence, one could hear the sound of a petal being dropped by the wind in the flowerbed behind.

After a long time, Xiao Chen said very slowly: "No one can force me to be a scapegoat."

"Of course," Qin Changge answered quickly, "You voluntarily."

Raising his eyes, Xiao Chen glanced at Qin Changge strangely, and refused to answer again.

Qin Changge's expression gradually became gloomy. She raised her hand, picked up a fallen leaf blown by the wind, and slowly crushed it in her palm.

He heard Xiao Chen whispering on the opposite side: "You vicious woman, after you defeated me, you never forgot to plot against me again. In the prison, when my brother and I drank each other, what trick did you play with that wine? "

Qin Changge glanced at him, and said coldly: "You refuse to answer me, why should I answer you?"

"You don't need to answer, I know," Xiao Chen said coldly: "The poison is on the silver needle, the silver needle for wine testing, you gave it to Yu Hai, right? You..." He said word by word: "You, good ,ruthless."

The tone is venomous.

"Thank you for the compliment, it's a great honor." Qin Changge was unmoved, and didn't even change his sitting position, "Xiao Chen, you went to drink the wine that was spilled on the ground? Did you? You drank it, so you know the wine Not poisonous at all?"
