Chapter 379 Lin Siqiong is rapidly aging
"Your Majesty!" Yelu Yang's face was full of tension. "This is all my personal opinion. It has nothing to do with my family. Please don't take your anger out on them."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Xiliang just looked at Yelu Yang coldly but didn't say a word.
Tuoba Ruoli was already standing on Qiongqi's back, looking at Yeluyang with the same cold eyes, "I'm leaving now, are you going to follow me or stay?"
From childhood to adulthood, Yelu Yang has never been as embarrassed as he is now.
He really didn't understand why things turned out like this.
After hesitating for a moment, Yelu Yang still ran towards Tuoba Ruoli and jumped onto Qiongqi's body.
"Your Majesty, please do not implicate innocent people—"
Before he could finish his words, Qiongqi had already spread its wings and flew away.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
The Emperor of Xiliang looked at the direction where Qiongqi disappeared, and in his heart he had already sentenced the Xiliang family to death.
If he can return to the palace this time, the Yelu family will be wiped out!
...
High in the sky, Yelu Yang was worried at first.
But when he unconsciously looked down and saw the situation below, he temporarily put those worries behind him.
This was the first time he saw Wucheng from this angle.
I used to think that Wucheng was so big and boundless, but now it seems quite small.
The grassland outside was even bigger than he had imagined.
Looking at the grassland from this angle, my mind becomes much more open.
Tuoba Ruoli glanced at the silent Yelu Yang and thought that he was worried about the Yelu family.
Although she was annoyed at Yelu Yang's decision to leave a way out for the Yelu family, now was the time to use people, so Tuoba Ruoli did not show her displeasure.
"Don't worry, the Imperial Grandmother never does anything without confidence. Since the Imperial Grandmother has done this, she will definitely succeed in ascending the throne.
Since you have chosen me, I promise you that I will definitely ensure the safety of the Yelu family."
Hearing Tuoba Ruoli's words, Yelu Yang was deeply moved.
"Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"
"I will die for His Highness!"
Tuoba Ruoli curled the corners of her lips and said, "Of course I believe you!"
Qiongqi flies very fast.
It didn't take long before they arrived at the palace.
Before Qiongqi descended, Princess Anguo had already heard the news and walked out of the palace.
Seeing Princess Anguo coming out, Tuoba Ruoli did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately let Qiongqi fall down.
After Qiongqi landed, she couldn't wait to jump down, and trotted to Princess Anguo to pay her respects.
"Grandmother, Li'er is back!"
Princess Anguo responded, "Get up! You are so brave! You knew I was plotting a rebellion, yet you still dared to come back to me."
"You are Li'er's grandmother, so naturally Li'er will stand with you. Even if Li'er chooses the emperor, there will be no good result in the end."
"You're quite clever!"
Princess Anguo praised.
"Much smarter than that mother of yours!"
Tuoba Ruoli is indeed smart, especially in matters like this.
As soon as I heard Princess Anguo's words, I guessed it instantly.
"But what did mother do that she shouldn't have done?"
When asking this question, Mop Ruoli's voice became much more nervous.
She didn't care much about Lin Siqiong.
She was just worried that Lin Siqiong would do something she shouldn't do and implicate her.
"Nothing much, just wanting to join forces with the Emperor to deal with me."
Princess Anguo's eyes were full of mockery.
Lin Siqiong is really stupid.
The emperor coaxed her into a state of confusion with just a few words.
She didn't even think about the fact that they were mother and daughter. Could the emperor really forgive her?
She looks as stupid as a pig, she really takes after her stupid father!
When Tuoba Ruoli heard what Princess Anguo said, her heart tightened.
She was worried that Princess Anguo would vent her anger because of this matter.
Princess Anguo seemed to see what she was thinking and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I won't take my anger out on you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you become the Crown Princess. If I succeed, you will still be the Crown Princess, and even a legitimate Crown Princess!"
I am already so old, how many more years can I live?
When I am gone, who will take over Xiliang? Of course, only you!"
After hearing what Princess Anguo said, Tuoba Ruoli finally felt a little relieved. "Grandmother, what should we do next?"
Princess Anguo looked up and said, "There's still half an hour left. Don't be in a hurry. Go see your mother first. You may not have the chance to see her again in the future."
What does this mean?
Tuoba Ruoli's heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained unchanged. She nodded and said, "Yes, Li'er, I'll go right away!"
Under the guidance of the palace servants, Tuoba Ruoli soon met Lin Siqiong.
After these years of hardship, Lin Siqiong has already aged a lot.
But when she saw Lin Siqiong at this time, Tuoba Ruoli was still shocked.
It's only been a day or two since we last met, how come Lin Siqiong looks like she's aged twenty years?
He used to have a head full of black hair, but now it has turned gray.
My face just looked a little haggard before.
But now, the smooth skin is gone, and it is covered with wrinkles and even age spots.
Lin Siqiong is obviously only about thirty years old, but now she looks older than Princess Anguo.
If it weren't for the fact that her facial features could reveal the shadow of her past, Tuoba Ruoli wouldn't have believed that this was Lin Siqiong.
Tuoba Ruoli looked at the scene in shock, hesitating and not daring to speak.
Lin Siqiong slowly raised her head and looked over here.
Her eyes were no longer as beautiful as before. Instead, they were full of wrinkles, with layers of wrinkles in her eyes and big bags under her eyes.
A pair of eyes also look particularly cloudy.
“You’re here!”
The sound is the same as before!
But precisely because the voice was the same as before, Tuoba Ruoli felt even more disconnected.
The voice was still the same as before, but the appearance was completely different.
Seeing that Tuoba Ruoli didn't say anything, Lin Siqiong subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face.
"Do I look ugly now?"
Tuoba Ruoli pursed her lips, but after a few breaths, she nodded.
“It’s ugly.”
"You are honest."
Lin Siqiong chuckled twice.
"Do you think that I deserve what I'm like now?"
"Li'er, I am your mother, and we are related by blood!"
"Princess Anguo is my biological mother, but she hates me so much, just because my father is someone she hates."
"You are my child. If she doesn't like me, will she like you?"
"Following her is like courting disaster. If you don't find a way out soon, the outcome won't be much better than mine now!"
Tuoba Ruoli just listened quietly at first, but when she heard the end, she sneered.
"A way out? Then tell me, what is the way out?"
Lin Siqiong opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
She herself didn't know what the way out was.
Going back to Dayong?
But Dayong had no place to stay anymore.
Going to Nanzhao?
They were unfamiliar with the place, and the emperor of Nanzhao was Wei Zhao. How could the situation be much better?
Xiliang...let’s not talk about it!
Thinking of this, Lin Siqiong laughed again, shaking her head while laughing.
"I never thought! I've lived for so many years, plotted for so many years, and in the end, I have no place to stay!"
"If I had known this would happen, I would have been the eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate. Maybe I wouldn't have fallen to this point."
Tuoba Ruoli looked at Lin Siqiong quietly, her eyes full of contempt.
"Mother, it's come to this, and instead of thinking about how to survive and live a better life, you always regret it.
It is because you have such thoughts that you have fallen to this point!
What we should do is never to regret the past, but to change the current situation!"
Lin Siqiong looked at Tuoba Ruoli in surprise, as if she didn't expect Tuoba Ruoli to say that.
After a while, Lin Siqiong nodded and said, "You're right! No wonder you live better than me!"
"I just hope that you can get better and better for me..."
She didn't finish her words and her voice faded away.
The mother and daughter only chatted for a short while, but Lin Siqiong was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The originally gray hair has now all turned into silver threads.
The body that was able to sit up slightly just now is now even more hunched.
I don’t know if she couldn’t stand up straight or if she didn’t have the strength to do so.
Tuoba Ruoli was horrified by Lin Siqiong's change, and at the same time felt shocked and curious.
"Why...why did you become like this?"
Lin Siqiong grinned, and the wrinkles on her face almost piled up like a chrysanthemum.
"Why? Of course it's because Princess Anguo is fed up with me and wants me dead, but she doesn't want me to die so soon, so she wants to torture me mercilessly!
Go away!
No matter whether you succeed or not, no matter what happens in the future, you don’t need to look for me anymore.
Our fate as mother and daughter ends here, and we will never see each other again."
After Lin Siqiong finished speaking, she lay down on the ground and slowly closed her eyes.
If she hadn't seen her body still moving slightly, Tuoba Ruoli would have almost thought she was dead.
Looking at this scene, Tuoba Ruoli felt fear in his heart.
But she didn't know what she could do or what she could say.
She just stared at Lin Siqiong for a long time and then chose to turn around and leave.
What I just said to Lin Siqiong was also said to myself.
Now that you have made the choice, you cannot regret it. You can only keep moving forward. This is the only way to get out of the predicament!
...
After Yu Youning, Chu Huaixu and Wei Zhao discussed it together, they decided to help the Emperor of Xiliang.
Compared with Princess Anguo, the Emperor of Xiliang is a better choice.
But they can't help for free, they have requirements!
