Chapter 411 Suffering

Li Chengyou looked at the aging Mo Xun in front of him. Li Chengyou, a tall and strong man, began to feel red under his eyes.

He knelt on one knee in front of Mo Xun and choked up, "Mother, you have suffered, wuwuwu."

Mo Xun: ...

Li Chengyou was still crying when he was hit on the head unexpectedly. A cold voice came from behind him: "Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet."

Li Chengyou turned around with tears in his eyes and saw the fisherman's daughter with a slightly dark face and a very young appearance.

Their appearances were very different, but the way he hit his head was very much like his mother.

Mo Xun chuckled: "You kid, you can't even recognize your mother. I'm not your mother, she is."

Li Chengyou had tears stuck in his eyes and looked shocked.

Along the way, Li Chengyou followed his father into Southern Chu, braving wind and rain. He only knew that his mother had exchanged souls with a woman from Southern Chu.

Who would have known that the pretty girl in front of him was actually his mother?

Li Chengyou's eyes fell on Shen Wei's thin body. She was so thin that she was almost just a bag of bones.

Li Chengyou was filled with grief. You are such a dog emperor of Nanchu. You used despicable means to snatch the queen mother away and didn’t even give her food to eat!

Look how thin he has become!

"Mother, I am late. You have suffered." Li Chengyou said with tears in his eyes, "Don't worry, mother. With a hundred thousand troops approaching, Nanchu dare not act rashly."

Li Chengyou walked up to Shen Wei, wanting to tell her about the hardships he had experienced these days and to spend some time with his poor mother.

Shen Wei patted his strong arm: “Don’t cry, help me find something quickly, find a box, find a key.”

Li Chengyou was in tears and confused: "What?"

Shen Wei didn't bother to reminisce with him. More people would mean more power to search: "What are you still standing there for? Help find it!"

Lee Seung Woo: “Oh, oh, okay!”

Li Chengyou had to temporarily suppress his strong feelings of longing and join the team looking for the key.

The three of them turned the bedroom upside down.

Nothing gained.

Shen Wei frowned and looked at the smooth marble floor. Could it be that Li Yuanli set up a secret compartment in the bedroom and hid the keys and instruments in a hidden corner?

Shen Wei felt a headache, it was too difficult to find.

"Mother! There are so many portraits of you!" Li Chengyou rummaged through the boxes and saw a pile of scrolls on the table.

He found that the portraits were all of Shen Wei’s face.

Li Chengyou was stunned.

What is the Emperor of Nanchu going to do? Why do you collect so many portraits of your mother?

There is also a picture of the Queen Mother killing a pig!

This is complete bullshit! My mother is gentle, virtuous, dignified and generous. How could she do such a thing as killing a wild boar?

The fight outside was still going on, with the sound of swords clashing incessantly. Shen Wei asked Li Chengyou: "How many troops did you bring this time?"

Li Chengyou said, "Less than a hundred people. But don't worry, mother. There are many Daqing spies in Nanchu, and the border troops are already in place."

Shen Wei nodded slightly.

Unable to find the keys and instruments in the hall, Shen Wei decisively gave up the search, thinking it would be a waste of time to continue looking. Shen Wei walked to the gate of the villa and smelled the strong smell of blood in the air. People on both sides were injured.

Continuing the fight is not a solution.

It is worthless except wasting physical energy.

Chen Wei grabbed her youngest son who was about to move, and spoke in a quiet voice, as if chatting with him: "There is hot tea in the house, stop and go in for a cup of tea."

Bang--

The war came to an abrupt end.

Shen Wei put down her words and turned to go into the house. She ignored the noise and fighting outside and calmly lay back in bed ready to go to sleep. It's already very late. Staying up late is not good for your health.

She has to get enough sleep so that she will have the energy to deal with things tomorrow.

Shen Wei emptied her mind and fell asleep soon. After a peaceful sleep, the next day the sun was shining brightly, and the sound of waves and birds singing outside the house continued. Shen Wei slowly opened her eyes, yawned, and got up to wash.

Nanhai Villa is very quiet.

Shen Wei opened the door and saw the Nanchu Iron Cavalry and Daqing Tiger Guards outside the yard. Like a dragon or a tiger entrenched in one side, alert to the other's every move.

It seems that the two sides have reached a strange balance.

"Mother, Queen Mother! Breakfast is ready!" Li Chengyou ran over happily.

Li Chengyou was still a little uncomfortable seeing that unfamiliar face.

Shen Wei came into the dining hall. A sumptuous breakfast was placed on the table. Mo Xun was sitting at the table waiting for her. Beside the dining table, Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanli sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere in the room was very depressing.

When Li Yuanjing saw Shen Wei, all the anger in his body disappeared, and he stepped forward happily: "Weiwei!"

Shen Wei saw a strand of white hair at Li Yuanjing's temples.

After not seeing each other for three months, Li Yuanjing's eyes and brows were tired and he looked much older. Li Yuanjing held Shen Wei's wrist, looked at her thin face, and felt a dense pain in his heart: "You have suffered these days."

Shen Wei replied: "It's not that hard."

Li Yuanjing studied Shen Wei's eyes.

Strange faces, familiar eyes.

It was his Shen Wei.

During this period, Li Yuanjing was worried and anxious almost day and night. Now that he finally saw the person he had been thinking about, Shen Wei, he was disappointed to find that Shen Wei didn't seem to miss him much.

Shen Wei looked so calm and composed, without even a disguise, and Li Yuanjing had mixed feelings.

What a cruel woman.

It took Shen Wei twenty years to successfully make Li Yuanjing fall deeply in love with her. Li Yuanjing was deeply trapped and unable to extricate himself, while Shen Wei watched coldly from the edge of the quagmire.

"Okay, let Chen Wei eat something first." Mo Xun greeted at the dining table.

Shen Wei was hungry and ate until she was full after breakfast.

The palace servants took away the food, and after Chen Wei rinsed her mouth, she returned to the hall. She saw the wound at the corner of Li Yuanli's mouth, which was slightly swollen, obviously the scar left by the fight yesterday.

Shen Wei asked Li Yuanli, "Are you seriously injured?"

Li Yuanli curled his lips: "Minor injury."

Li Yuanjing over there is about to explode!

Watching Chen Wei asking about Li Yuanli's well-being, Li Yuanjing felt like he had fallen into a vinegar jar, with his entire body filled with sourness. He said angrily: "Weiwei, I am also injured!"

After sharing a bed with her for twenty years, she suddenly became very caring towards someone else's man!

Li Yuanjing is so sour!

Shen Wei sighed: "Li Yuanli hid the instrument and the key. If he dies, I will not live long either."

Shen Wei didn't care about Li Yuanli, she was simply afraid that he would be beaten to death by Li Yuanjing.

Li Yuanjing snorted.

Li Yuanli squinted his eyes slowly, smiled and said to Shen Wei: "To you, I still have value, and that's enough."

Li Yuanjing reminded him: "Weiwei is my wife! If it weren't for your magic trick, she wouldn't have ended up in Nanchu!"

Li Yuanli clicked his tongue and said, "Second brother, you are just lucky. You are trusted by our father, your elder brother the crown prince luckily died of illness, and Chen Wei luckily entered your mansion... Your life is smooth sailing, and there are always people paving the way for you."
