Although he thought so, he still felt a bitterness in his heart when he saw Queen Hyomin crying inconsolably. He naturally interpreted it as a feeling of regret for his miserable life in the past.
Shao Yihui's indifference quietly cracked when Queen Xiaomin trembled, "Son, I am your mother, you have suffered..."
That sound seemed to be far away in the sky, like a compassionate Buddhist chant, shocking his soul, and like a thunderbolt, it struck his heart, which had been sealed in the iceberg, down to the warm current. He waited and pursued it for more than thirty years...
He coldly replayed the scene several times. He knew every expression that would move Queen Hyomin, and every word that would break her heart, but at this moment, he couldn't make a single expression, and he couldn't say a single word.
He just kept a blank expression, feeling the warmth of her palm.
Waking up from his dreams at midnight, he had hated and resented her, but at this moment, he couldn't help but think that if he called her mother, she would be so happy.
In a daze, Queen Hyomin said something to him, nothing more than his life experience and her regret and heartache. She was really about to break down...
She was completely different from the eccentric woman just now.
Shao Yihui's Adam's apple rolled slightly and he swallowed something.
…
Qianlong Valley.
Shangguan Shu ordered his men to collect all the rabbits and mice nearby and then release them. He then ordered his men to follow, and after half an hour, they found several caves on the mountain wall.
Shangguan Shu was about to lead his men to sneak in, and Emperor Jianxi and Zhao Cong would definitely follow. So the group went up the mountain before dark. The mountain was deliberately set up as a false formation, and when they saw people coming up, the remaining group of Shao Yihui's men all followed the men in black and fled.
In the midst of war and chaos, Shao Yihui wanted to "accidentally" jump off the cliff, but was grabbed by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Shangguan Shu!
Shao Yihui looked back and saw that Emperor Jianxi was holding Empress Xiaomin tightly. Empress Xiaomin had tears on her face and didn't notice him jumping off the cliff at all...
Emperor Jianxi had no one else in his eyes. He stepped forward and hugged Empress Xiaomin, calling out in ecstasy, "Minmin... I finally see you!"
Queen Hyomin silently swallowed the words, "Bold fat old man..."
So this is Zhao Rui...
How did you get so fat?
Why don’t you pay attention to body management?
How could she know that this was already after management...
Around them, a group of people knelt down, their voices thundering, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Empress..."
Zhao Cong cried, "Mother, thank goodness you're okay. I was so scared..."
Empress Xiaomin nodded to Zhao Cong and said to Emperor Jianxi, "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you when we return to the palace."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shao Yihui who was standing next to Shangguan Shu, her eyes softened, and she thought to herself that these two people were really pleasing to the eyes. Hehe, she had always been dissatisfied as to why the child born to the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife was more handsome than hers. Now, humph!
In front of so many people, she still kept her composure and just asked someone to take Pei and Shao Yihui back.
Emperor Jianxi readily agreed. He smiled, but there was a hint of secrecy in his smile. In fact, he also had something to say to her.
The group set out on their journey. On the surface, everything seemed calm, but in reality, there were undercurrents.
Empress Xiaomin and Emperor Jianxi rode in the same carriage, and the Crown Prince rode in another. Interestingly, Empress Xiaomin and Xu Shao Yihui also rode in one.
Now, some things are self-evident.
Immediately, the old Duke and Shangguan Shu exchanged glances inadvertently. The old Duke's eyes were filled with warning. He saw that Shao Yihui's appearance was definitely...
He grew up with Emperor Jianxi and Empress Xiaomin, so he naturally recognized them when they were at their peak. Shao Yihui looked like they were cast in the same mold.
Shangguan Shu pretended to know nothing and kept his achievements and fame hidden.
He wasn't doing this for anyone else anyway.
Emperor Jianxi looked at Shao Yihui's face, suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, and turned to ask about the sufferings that Empress Xiaomin had endured over the years. He also complained about the two children. As he spoke, Emperor Jianxi hugged Empress Xiaomin in his arms again. Empress Xiaomin struggled, but was held tighter.
Queen Hyomin secretly rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, it's so hot to be close to your fat body..."
Emperor Jianxi said, "Minmin, do you know how much I regret not agreeing to your request since you left? I only want you."
Queen Hyomin pursed her lips and said, hehe, it was just an excuse for not wanting to sleep with the emperor, but you took it seriously.
Emperor Jianxi let go of Empress Xiaomin, held her face in his hands, and said affectionately, "In the ten years since you left, I have never touched anyone in the harem again."
Queen Hyomin: At your age, you should be feeling a bit exhausted.
Emperor Jianxi: "Minmin, I have already told Ying'er that after you come back, I will completely empty the harem. I only want you to accompany me, and I will also accompany you..."
Queen Hyomin: Who needs an old man like you to keep me company? At my age, if things go smoothly, I should be promoted to Queen Mother.
Emperor Jianxi was tender and affectionate, and he tucked Empress Xiaomin's hair behind her ears with a silly smile, "Minmin, why don't you say anything?"
Empress Xiaomin took a deep breath and looked at Emperor Jianxi teasingly, thinking that they were an old married couple, yet he still had to do so many tricks with her.
But she said, "I appreciate your Majesty's kindness and I have no way to repay you, no words to express it."
When Emperor Jianxi heard the familiar tone, voice, and sarcastic tone of Empress Xiaomin, his long-silent heart seemed to come alive in an instant. He was excited and turned his head to kiss Empress Xiaomin's face.
"Minmin, I miss you so much."
Queen Hyomin could no longer maintain her fake smile.
Damn Zhao Rui, a kiss between a middle-aged couple will give you nightmares all night long!
The emperor and the empress expressed their true feelings to each other. Zhao Cong was very nervous and sat in the carriage with a pale face, not moving at all.
