Zhao Yun deeply regretted what he had done that day. His eyes were slightly red and he spoke with difficulty.
"Yier, everything that happened before was my fault. I was blinded by hatred and only wanted revenge."
People are always like this, taking what they have for granted and not knowing how to cherish it.
You only regret when you lose something.
He never had a sense of crisis when his mother was alive, and even when he was the crown prince, he often did whatever he wanted.
At that time, he even disliked his mother's nagging and would rather do nothing than go to Fengyi Palace to see her.
It was not until his mother died in front of him that he felt heartbroken and regretted that he had spent too little time with her.
The Queen Mother was alone in the harem, and her only hope was for him to come and visit her.
This is true for my mother and Xu Lingyi as well.
At that time, he felt sorry for his mother, and all he wanted was revenge. It seemed that only in this way could he alleviate the guilt in his heart by staying alive.
Only then can I forget the blood all over the ground before my mother's death.
But he let Xu Lingyi down.
"In order to seize the throne, I have done many wrong things and used many people, but I will never do that again, and I will certainly never use you again."
Zhao Yun's eyes were red and his heart was filled with pain.
Xu Lingyi didn't want to hear what he said, "Your Majesty, I don't believe a single word you say now."
"If Your Majesty truly feels regretful and wishes to make amends, then please do not bother me again in the future, and do not look for me everywhere. I am not a prisoner of the court."
Xu Lingyi just wants to live a stable life.
"My brothers and sisters are certainly not like that. They are everywhere saving people and should not be held hostage by Your Majesty."
Zhao Yun clenched his hands tightly, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
I used to not understand why my mother became depressed and paranoid because of the late emperor’s attitude.
At that time, he just felt that his mother was upset.
She is already the queen, the most noble woman in the world.
He was already the crown prince at that time, so why would his mother get angry over a lowly maid?
My father is already old, what’s the point of being jealous and angry?
All those things that I couldn't understand before are now happening to me.
Only then did Zhao Yun understand what it felt like to like someone but not be able to get them.
Being disliked by her is more painful than not being able to get what you want.
Her words were like a knife, stabbing him hard.
"Yier, your brothers and sisters are now safe and sound in the palace. I know you care about them. I care about the people you care about, so I haven't hurt them in the slightest. Don't worry, I just invited them to the palace as guests. They can move around freely in the palace and have many servants to serve them. I will release them immediately."
Xu Lingyi has been found, so there is no need for the people from Yaowang Valley to capture him.
"Be a guest? Do you believe that? Don't say anything extra, just go and release it now."
Xu Lingyi looked at him coldly: "Zhao Yun, I don't like others threatening or forcing me, and I don't like it when it involves my loved ones."
"If you continue like this, believe it or not, you will never see me again in this life."
These words made Zhao Yun's breathing stop. He froze in place, feeling only dull pains in his heart, so painful that he bled.
He is the emperor now, and he believes that with his power, as long as she is in this world, he will be able to find her.
But Zhao Yun still couldn't imagine that he would never have any contact with Xu Lingyi again in this life.
He was afraid that what she said would come true.
This was worse than death for him.
He doesn't want anything now, as his mother's revenge has been achieved.
But he only wanted Xu Lingyi.
She is the only person he cares about in this world.
"Yier, don't be angry. I promise I won't do that again in the future. This time I was too scared and too anxious. I really wanted to make sure you were alive and well."
Zhao Yun was a little incoherent. "Although I know that the corpse is fake, I can only truly feel at ease when I see you appear in front of me alive."
Zhao Yun's words were too sincere, and his humble appearance at the moment made the magic mirror change sides instantly: "Master, the hero is so pitiful, please forgive him."
Xu Lingyi ignored the magic mirror: "You have seen it now, you can go back."
But Zhao Yun was reluctant to leave. This was the first time he had seen her in more than a year.
The longing for the past has been weighing on me for too long.
"Yier, why are you at the Xu family?"
Zhao Yun was looking for a topic to talk about; he was also concerned about this matter.
If she had any relationship with the Xu family, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to see her in the future.
Xu Lingyi didn't want to answer, although she knew that Zhao Yun would know sooner or later.
"Yier, don't you want to tell me?"
Xu Lingyi was worried about the child. She had been out for a while and Yuan'er should be waking up soon.
"You better leave now."
She just wanted to get rid of Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun felt bitter.
Having enjoyed her favor in the past, Zhao Yun felt a huge gap in his heart when facing her current attitude.
He could only go to find General Xu who was not far away.
"Old General...Yier and the Xu family?"
"Your Majesty, I am the granddaughter of the old minister Yi'er."
Xu Lingyi didn't want to hide this matter. After all, it couldn't be concealed, so her grandfather told her.
"Why have I never heard of this before? I only know that the old general has only one grandson."
"Your Majesty, you may not know that my daughter-in-law gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. However, the battlefield was dangerous at the time, so I entrusted my granddaughter to a stranger and announced to the public that I only had one grandson."
"It wasn't until recently that the family found their granddaughter."
Zhao Yun understood after hearing this.
The emperor cannot tolerate the Xu family, so the children of the Xu family are safer outside.
Zhao Yun was also glad that Xu Lingyi did not grow up in the Xu family. If she had been in the capital, she might have been poisoned by the late emperor or be arranged into a marriage at will.
"No wonder I felt you looked so familiar when I saw you, old general, and I always feel a sense of familiarity when I see you. It turns out you are Yi'er's grandfather."
"Since I ascended the throne, I no longer have any close elders around me. If you don't mind, I will also follow Yi'er and call you grandfather. Is that okay with you?"
grandfather:"……"
He was flattered by Zhao Yun's attitude.
"Your Majesty, this is truly humiliating to me. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. How can I bear this?"
As his grandfather was about to kneel down, Zhao Yun quickly helped him up:
"You are Yi'er's grandfather, so you are naturally my elder. You may not know that when I was in Medicine King Valley, Yi'er promised to marry me, but we didn't have time to get married then, so you are naturally responsible."
It was as if my grandfather was getting to know the emperor for the first time.
He had never seen His Majesty like this, nor had he ever known that His Majesty could be so shameless.
"I dare not. This granddaughter of yours is young and has been living away from home since she was young. She has no upbringing and is unworthy of Your Majesty. Even if we once had some connection, it was when she was young and ignorant."
"Your Majesty is the highest of the highest order. A naughty granddaughter like me would never dare to marry someone so high."
