Yue Feng smiled ripples and stretched out his hand. Although his complexion was still pale, it did not prevent that face from being still incomparably handsome, making people feel uneasy.
The smile in front of Xia Chu's eyes was a little gentle, like the brilliance of the sun breaking through the clouds after a sudden rain. It was an indescribable feeling. She couldn't help but feel her breath stagnant, and at the same time, she was also chilled to the bones by the coldness coming from her palms.
She turned her face away in panic and led him into the cave. Although the sun was shining brightly, the light inside was still dim and cold.
Xia Chu used flint and moxa to light a fire. There was also a soft reed mat in the cave, but there was only one. She let Yue Feng sit on it and reached out to take his pulse...
As thin as a hairspring, extremely unstable, stagnant and slow, but after all, it is still continuing.
"The Alliance of Life and Death is extracted from ice voodoo, and it is constantly fed to the mother voodoo, which is why it is so cold." Yue Fengwan saw her when they met at the medicine shop in Tianlu City. When I grabbed the medicine, I knew it was for ice poison.
I hope Ben said it because he wanted to ease her heart. He should have more than an hour left. His body is cold right now, which is normal...
But when Xia Chu heard these words, not only was he not relieved, but he felt even more guilty.
She looked around again. The cave was getting brighter and brighter due to the firelight. There was actually a simple low couch in the innermost part of the cave: "Have you ever slept here?"
Yue Fengwan glanced at the low couch with her: "I often came here to sleep when I was a child, but I didn't have time for the three years after I turned fifteen. I came here occasionally in the two or three years after I turned eighteen, but I didn't stay overnight. Never again."
He withdrew his eyes from the low couch and looked at Xia Chu.
Thinking about it now, in his short life, the most unhappy time and the happiest time were actually spent living in this small cave.
From the time he was born until he was three years old, Yue Hua Shi doted on him, and she was satisfied with everything he said, except for one thing, which was not letting him call any of his concubines mother.
He was fashionable and ignorant. Every child in the palace, regardless of whether he was born to the princess or not, would always call her "Mother" when meeting the princess during regular greetings.
He is the only one who doesn’t use, don’t allow, and won’t let.
Everyone told him that he was born with blue eyes and was extremely noble. It was a pity that he was a boy. If he were a woman, he would definitely be destined to be an emperor.
Yue Fengwan was still young at that time and did not regard blue eyes as a problem. It was not until he was two and a half years old that Yue Hua took him to Mingluan Palace.
Go up the white jade steps and enter the empress's chamber.
After Yuehua lost her temper and retreated from all the palace people, she pointed at the unparalleled and graceful empress standing by the window and said to him: "That... is your mother."
At two and a half years old, he was still hobbling, but he still jumped forward with open arms full of joy.
But the empress, with her gorgeous clothes and face as bright as the bright moon, took a step back. Even though it was just a step back, it was enough for him to miss the chance and land on the gold bricks solidly.
"Why did you bring him here?"
Before he could cry, the empress' angry words of hurried rebuke for Yue Hua's loss came from above his head.
"He is your biological flesh and blood after all. Does Li'er really don't want to see him at all?" Yuehua hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up, her tone full of distress.
"Presumptuous." The empress looked at Yue Hua Shi with cold and stern eyes.
Yue Fengwan had never seen such a look in Mingyue Palace. He was so frightened that he took two steps back. As he retreated, the empress glanced at him. That look was very complicated. Yue Fengwan, who was still young, I couldn't discern the meaning in those eyes.
After growing up, he had speculated countless times that a mere glance should contain two parts of heartache, three parts of disgust and five parts of disgust.
Yue Hua stood upright in front of the empress, showing no respect at all. Instead, she gave a meaningful smile, pointed at Yue Feng behind her and said to the empress: "If this king is not so presumptuous, how did he get here?" ?”
Yue Fengwan clearly saw the empress's complexion turning livid in an instant.
And, full of despair and resentment.
"Did you see his eyes? This is the pure blood that can only come from the flesh and blood of you and me."
With Yue Hua Shi's words as she took a step closer, the empress's heart began to twitch violently. Yue Fengwan saw her silently folded fingers, and the goldenrod dyed red by buttercups, as bright as blood, was tightly clenched by her. .
"Yuehuashi!" The empress' tone finally softened under Yuehuashi's gaze: "Don't... say this in front of the children."
That was the first time Yuefengwan met her mother, and the second time half a year later was the farewell.
The moment the empress saw Yue Feng rolling her eyes, she finally had the idea of escape.
She spent half a year flattering her, but secretly planned and planned for a long time.
Perhaps it was the empress's meekness for half a year that made Yuehua lost in the gentle land. She also thought that she had already accepted her fate and would be by his side for the rest of her life. She relaxed her vigilance and finally gave the empress a chance.
That night, the empress asked Yue Hua Shi to take Yue Feng to Mingluan Palace. The joy of the family gathering made Yue Hua Shi, who did not push the glass, get drunk and fell under the empress's persuasion.
The empress looked at him lying on the table, and the dagger she drew was cold and shining, hanging on his neck.
a long time.
In the end, no knife was stabbed,
Perhaps, it was because of Yue Feng Wan who had been staring at her.
Or maybe it's because the Western Regions always need someone to control the government.
The empress had already made arrangements for her departure in the past six months, and was only waiting for him to get drunk this time.
Naturally, poison cannot be administered, as it will be detected by Yue Hua.
The empress could only secretly use the long-cast mandarin duck pot to pour water for herself and pour wine for him. She used this method of boiling frogs in warm water, and it took a long time to get him drunk.
Yue Fengwan had been staring at her since she drew the sword.
It wasn't until she walked out of the palace that Yue Fengwan suddenly called her: "Mother..."
The empress paused in her steps, and the face she looked back was filled with tears.
She ran back in long strides and held Yue Feng in her arms.
That was her first hug, and it was also the only hug Yue Fengwan received from her mother.
"It's my mother who can't help you. My mother wants to leave this dark and cage-like place. You must remember that in the future you must never tell others that the Empress of the Western Region is your mother." She warned Yue Fengwan carefully.
Seeing him looking at her blankly, she reached out to cover his eyes, gently kissed his forehead, and then added: "You...remember?"
Xu was the first time he smelled the fragrance of his mother, the first time he felt the warm embrace, the first time he was kissed tenderly by her. Yue Fengwan was filled with joy and he pressed her hard against everything. Nodding: "I remember."
