Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 497
Blood, enchanting like flowers on the other side, weeping blood like azaleas.It bloomed at the corner of Xiao Tingxuan's mouth, hurting Emperor Yuan Qing's eyes.

He squirmed his lips, and tears fell down without warning.

"Xuan'er..."

Xiao Tingxuan trembled, "Father?"

Emperor Yuan Qing smiled slightly, "Don't call me Emperor Father, call me 'Father'!"

Xiao Tingxuan shuddered again, seeing his father's expectant eyes, he couldn't help feeling sore in his heart, and called softly.

"Father..." When that intimate word came out of his mouth, it was not only Emperor Yuan Qing who was shocked, not only everyone present, but Xiao Tingxuan himself was even more shocked.

I still remember that when he started to speak, his mother brought him to his father and taught him to call him 'Daddy'!But before he could utter that word, he was interrupted indifferently by his father.

"Called 'Father Emperor'"

Since then, 'Father Emperor' has become synonymous with his father in his life.

Countless times, in the face of his father's indifferent gaze, the word he treasured in his heart stuck in his throat like this, and he couldn't utter it again.

Even so, he still has a desire in his heart, longing to be able to call his father 'Daddy' one day.

But such a wish, which seems to be an easy wish for ordinary people, has become unattainable for him.

It's been so many years, so long that he thought that the word would be flooded in his belly forever, and he could no longer pour it out, so long that he thought that he was already unfamiliar with that word.But he never expected that when that word came out of his mouth, it was so clear, so natural, and it made him feel so warm and sad.

Emperor Yuan Qing raised his hand tremblingly, stroked Xiao Tingxuan's head strangely and expectantly, a smile appeared in his moist eyes.

"Well, good, good boy."

"Father..." Xiao Tingxuan couldn't help but shed tears. After waiting for so many years, he finally called out the word openly.

Emperor Yuan Qing looked at him quietly and gently, "Xuan'er, I'm sorry." He looked down at the woman in his arms, his eyes were as clear as blue waves, and the gentle ripples were smudged.

"I love her, love her with everything I have. In order to be a good husband, I have lost the qualifications to be a good father."

Xiao Tingxuan squirmed his lips, but he didn't say a word in the end.

Emperor Yuan Qing looked into the distance, and said softly: "Back then, Master Wuchen wrote a hexagram for her, saying that she was destined to be a phoenix, and she would be a queen in the future. From then on, I swore that I would stand on the top of the world." , I want her to stand by my side forever, and never leave." He looked down at the sleeping woman in his arms tenderly, with a smile streaming from the corner of his mouth. "Later, her elder sister was jealous of her and wanted to kill her. The imperial grandmother thought she was charming us brothers, and thought she was a beauty, so she wanted to get rid of her... The moment she fell off the cliff, I jumped with her without hesitation. At that time, I was thinking, if she died, then what is the point of my life? The world is so big and life is so long, but without her, I will fall into the bottomless abyss. So, if I want to die , I will die with her. On the way to Huangquan, at least she is with me. In fact, I am lucky, because there are so many people, but I am the only one who dies with her. Since we cannot live together, we will die together. Bar."

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"But fortunately, none of us died." He opened his eyes, lowered his eyebrows and looked at the woman with closed eyes, his fingers gently brushed her flawless face, his voice was soft and gentle. "It was also at that time that I discovered her true face. I never thought that she was so beautiful, so beautiful that I almost forgot everything. Then I asked her why she hid her face. She said, haven't you ever heard of a word called 'beautiful beauty'? I will always remember her tone when she said this, sad, sarcastic, sneering... so until a long time later, until she bleeds profusely to give birth to you , I took her to Tianshan to seek medical treatment. When the world said that her beauty was a disaster, I would think of the sadness and helplessness she had when she destroyed her face, and the hatred and helplessness she had at that time. So I was very angry, and I would not allow this No one in the world will insult her at all."

Prince Li's face was immediately pale as snow, and pain and regret spread in his eyes.

Emperor Yuan Qing continued in a low voice, "The days at the bottom of the cliff were the most peaceful and peaceful days in my life. At that time, I was still thinking, if we just stayed at the bottom of the cliff like this For the rest of my life, I will never be able to get out, maybe it's okay." He looked down at the woman in his arms, his eyes became more and more gentle. "There are no disputes, no calculations, I can see her every day. Isn't this kind of life the happiest? But..." His eyes darkened, and his fingers gently swayed the queen's cheeks.

"But she must go back. I can see that she actually hates the dirty fights in the world more than I do, but she can't let go of her parents and family, so she stood up hard and practiced martial arts hard... Ordinary people practice Martial arts has been practiced since she was a child, and she was already very late at that time. But in order to be able to get out, she let herself stand up like a normal person in the shortest time, and then use the strength and perseverance that ordinary people cannot possess Let yourself become stronger. She knew that it was not a good thing for her to have this appearance, and at that time she had disabled legs, and she didn't even have the ability to protect herself, so she destroyed her appearance."

Ling Xihan's heart froze when she heard that, she had known about the Queen's self-destructive appearance back then.But there is no woman who does not love beauty.She couldn't imagine how the queen must have felt when she destroyed her appearance.There are women in this world who are so cruel to themselves.Although she didn't care much about her appearance, she also thought that she couldn't do it to the point where she could destroy her appearance with her own hands.

After hearing Emperor Yuan Qing's words, she only felt sore in her heart.Perhaps in the eyes of others, the queen's life is beautiful and happy.Because she has everything that women all over the world dream of.Peerless beauty, first-class intelligence and talent, superb martial arts, unparalleled noble status, and the unique affectionate favor of her husband.But who can truly experience the sadness and vicissitudes behind this scenery?
Emperor Yuan Qing cared for the queen like a treasure, so he understood her.

She looked at Emperor Yuan Qing, only to see that he raised his head slightly, and there was a faint smile streaming from the corner of his mouth.

"I used to think that I could give her the best in the world, that I could make her stand at the top of the world, and that I could protect her from being bullied by anyone. But I was wrong, because I have hurt her heart for so many years. Broken, depressed and unhappy. As the king of a country, I am rich in the world, but I can't save the woman I love. How sad?" He closed his eyes, his brows were full of desolation and grief. "Xuan'er, you have to remember, don't follow in my footsteps. Don't end up with everything, but lose the purest hope in your heart."

Xiao Tingxuan was shocked violently, his eyes shattered like waves of light, and the slightest pain continued to spread.

"father……"

Emperor Yuan Qing laughed suddenly, he turned his head to look at Prince Li, his eyes were filled with sarcasm and hidden hatred.

"Why do you think I agreed to Luo Yushuang's conditions? Why did I make that bet with her?" Emperor Yuan Qing's gaze swept across Ouyang Hen's face with a sarcasm.He looked down at the woman in his arms, his gaze was gentle and painful. "Actually, you guessed it a long time ago, right?" He closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were miserable.

"Before Luo Yushuang entered the palace, my master called me back to Lingshan." He opened his eyes and looked at Ouyang Hen who seemed to have realized something, and the irony in his eyes deepened.

"If it wasn't for that day, the fight 20 years ago, I would have guessed that you and I came from the same school. It's just that the master didn't tell me, so I thought I guessed wrong. Until that year, the master calculated his limit. Only then did you tell me that you and I are brothers. Hehe..." He smiled lightly and looked at the queen with desolate eyes.

It's ridiculous." His fingers gently brushed the queen's snow-white cheeks, "Master begged me before he died, don't kill each other." His eyes flickered, "Master's kindness to me is as great as a mountain." , I can't ignore his last words." He suddenly looked at the queen with soft eyes, and his voice was also ethereal.

"How can an ungrateful person deserve to have her?"

The last sentence was like a slap in the face, shaking Prince Li into a tumbling motion, the storm-like pain in his eyes converged into a river, the blood in his chest churned, and he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

This time, Ouyang Chen finally kindly went to support him, but he didn't say any comforting words.His heart was not at peace, and the picture of a lady drawn by his father when he was young was always echoing in his mind, the first time he saw the queen, the first time he was stared at by her beautiful and gentle eyes, and the first time he was warmed by her. Sincere compliments...

He closed his eyes, and unexpectedly remembered the scene when he saw Ling Xihan for the first time.Then more and more, it was everything that was entangled between them.So real in his mind, engraved in his heart.

He opened his eyes, with infinite self-mockery and desolation in his eyes.

It turned out that she had already unconsciously put that woman in her heart.In the past, he had been obsessed with the incomparable love affair with the queen and couldn't extricate himself. When he first met Ling Xihan, he just felt that her temperament was very similar to the queen's, but she was more cold and unfeeling than the queen.Now that I think about it, perhaps it wasn't just the resemblance to the queen that attracted Ling Xihan's attention in the first place, but the aloofness, coldness, arrogance and arrogance in her that he admired, and thus he approached and explored her step by step.

It's a pity, it's a pity that he has been thinking about how to fight and calculate with Xiao Tingxuan before, completely ignoring the initial throbbing, so he pushed her farther and farther invisibly.

He was not like his father, who was doomed from the start.But as for him, if he hadn't thought about calculating at the beginning, maybe the ending would have been different?Can he think so?

He suddenly smiled again, the matter has come to this, what's the use of thinking about it?She was no longer where she was, so where did it come from?
Prince Li stared blankly at Emperor Yuan Qing, his pupils were gray and blank, as if he had lost all vitality.
