The embrace of friends and the warm delivery made Duguqing finally let go of all her vigilance, all her vigilance, and all her pretense of being strong.
"After the father left, my younger brother was assassinated and sent back, Xiao Qingyan, do you know that when I saw him being sent back covered in blood, my heart seemed to be dead."
"The father is gone. If my brother does something wrong again, what should I do with my mother?"
"The parties in the DPRK and China are eyeing them, and the concubines and concubines in the palace are eager to move. If no one is in charge of the overall situation, I am afraid that the century-old foundation of our country will be destroyed in one fell swoop."
For the past two weeks, she has forced herself to forget the pain, become stronger, and use her own hands to protect her country and her relatives.
From the day she returned to the palace, she saw her mother fainting in front of her father's bed, and she never shed a single tear.
The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant's nest.
She was afraid that as soon as she showed weakness, she would never be able to stand up again.
The father and the emperor have taught them since childhood. There are thousands of people, and everyone faces different people. Only in this way can we take on different responsibilities on our shoulders, and play these roles well as emperor, father, husband, and son.
So at the critical moment, she can only come forward.
Chu Qingyan looked at Duguqing who was crying like a child in her arms, and couldn't help feeling the same way.
The death of the king and the serious injury of the crown prince is enough to become a disaster for a country.
But she, relying on a woman's thin shoulders, propped up the collapsed sky, gritted her teeth and persevered to save the overall situation.
Such a woman can really be called a woman who is not allowed to be a man.
Chu Qingyan's heart was full of admiration for her.
It's just that this aura is too heavy, it has endured too much pain, blood, and disasters. If you don't pay attention, it will crush the slender shoulders.
She felt sorry for her.
Before, in everyone's eyes, she was as bright as the sun in the sky, when she laughed like a flower, when she played tricks, she was as cunning as a fox, when she helped friends, she was relentless and heartless like a young child. .
Now, she is dressed in a palace robe, her brows are lying down, her smile is condensed and her smile is three-pointed.
Because of the contrast, there are differences, and it is precisely because of the differences that people are moved and distressed.
Chu Qingyan remembered her situation at this time, and she was more worried and couldn't help asking.
"Why didn't you recognize us in the temple yesterday?"
Duguqing wiped away her tears and smiled helplessly, "I really want to meet you, the moment I saw you step into the palace, I have been suppressing the surging heart in my heart, but I dare not, nor I can't!"
"I pretended to be the emperor's younger brother and presided over the overall situation, just to stabilize the dynasty, and my identity could not be revealed, otherwise those who had evil intentions would take the opportunity to make trouble. I was accused and cast aside by the world. It doesn't matter, but if the emperor's younger brother is seriously injured When the coma is spread, and when the country is in chaos and gunpowder smoke is everywhere, then my mother and my mother's efforts will be wasted."
Duguqing sighed. No one knew her identity except for her mother, Zhang Kai, and the imperial doctor of the Taiyuan Hospital. Her mother was not in good spirits for the past two days, and Zhang Kai was only a subordinate. She felt helpless and lonely. I don't know who to talk to.
As soon as she heard that Xiao Qingyan and the others had arrived in Shangguo, she couldn't wait to meet them. Subconsciously, she already regarded them as her friends.
"It's really embarrassing for you." Chu Qingyan learned from the usual behavior of big ice cubes and caressed her back, and then said clearly, "No wonder there are rumors outside that even imperial physicians can't leave the palace, it turns out that they all know how to lie down. The one on the bed is the real prince, and the one outside is the prince disguised by the princess."
"Well, I have no choice but to do so, but unfortunately the emperor's brother's injury has not improved, but it has become more serious. If it weren't for the fact that the treasury had a lot of plaster to prolong his life, I'm afraid he would not be able to last for a few days." Duguqing said here , the tears flowed down unconsciously.
"You have done a good job this time, better than anyone in this position, so don't feel bad and blame yourself." Chu Qingyan felt her fear, and could not help but lower her voice to comfort her.
After comforting, Chu Qingyan asked, "If the prince has not gotten better, what are you going to do?"
Dugu Qingshui's eyes lit up with a clear light, and she said with determination, "If he never wakes up, I will keep doing it. As the princess of the royal family of the Shang Kingdom, I should have the consciousness of dedicating everything for the country and the people!"
These words shocked Chu Qingyan for a moment.
Compared to Duguqing, she is still a long way off.
Without her courage, without her courage, and without her determination.
But when she finished saying those words, the strong girl showed a hint of fragility.
"But Xiao Qingyan, Kong Ling will cure him, right? Yes, right?"
This world is too cold and lonely, she doesn't want to go on alone, she wants her brother to be good, and her mother and concubine to be good, even if she pays everything she will.
"Yes, you believe that there is true love in the world, and miracles exist because of perseverance." Chu Qingyan stroked her long hair and told her in a firm tone. equates to hope.
"Okay." The clear voice was already sobbing.
Chu Qingyan couldn't help but redden her eyes.
After the mood of both of them has calmed down a lot.
Chu Qingyan turned her back on the guest, sat down and poured a cup of tea for her to moisten her throat, before she cut to the chase and asked, "You didn't intend to meet us, but you brought me here today, but you're in trouble?"
Duguqing admired her insight, such a smart woman said that she was in her early ten years, and no one really believed her. But it is precisely because of her resourcefulness and intelligence that she will reveal her identity.
"Yes, I need your help. I didn't want to open this mouth. Our Shang country is calm on the outside, but the inside is turbulent. I shouldn't pull you into this vortex, but—"
But she is not a qualified person in power after all, and can only barely maintain the surface peace, so as not to fall apart.
But she was worried that after a while, if her brother didn't wake up, she would not be able to control the situation and everything would turn to ashes.
"I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be looking for you. Your identities are too sensitive to be involved." After Duguqing said this, she regretted that she caused trouble for Xiao Qingyan.
But just when she was remorse, her hand was hot, she looked down, a small hand was placed on the back of her hand, and then she held it tightly, she raised her head in surprise.
I saw that bright and beautiful young girl smiled gracefully, and her voice was like a ding dong of spring water.
"When my friend is in trouble, I will be a knife to both sides! So, you are not alone. After crying, please be strong!"
His eyebrows were smiling, and for a moment, the light was dazzling.
