Chapter 450: You don't cherish it, or you are too greedy

Chapter 450: You don't cherish it, or you are too greedy

The two maids beside Gao Zhaoyue were not surprised and quietly retreated outside the gauze curtain to wait.

She patted his head with her palm and said, "Come to seek comfort from your mother?"

Yuwen Tiancheng closed his eyes tiredly and nodded.

Gao Zhaoyue sensed that his mood was not right and said, "After all, it was your father who died. Even if he was cruel and immoral, he still had some affection for you and the late queen."

She asked softly, "Why? Do you regret it?"

Yuwen Tiancheng opened his eyes, and a wave of emotion appeared in his originally calm and numb eyes.

"I have regrets."

Gao Zhaoyue's expression suddenly turned stern. She frowned and said, "Tiancheng, you promised me—"

Although there is more than just an exchange of interests between the two, there is also something else involved. But after killing Yuwen Shuo and taking control of Xijin, their next step was to find the Emperor of Beili to avenge the death of Yuwen Tianqing.

Yuwen Tiancheng said: "What I promised you will never change."

Gao Zhaoyue asked: "What do you mean? What are you regretting?"

Yuwen Tiancheng looked at her frowning brows that were like distant mountains, and he reached out to smooth them.

"I regret bringing you to his bedroom today and letting you see him again."

Gao Zhaoyue chuckled. Men are just as jealous as women.

She stroked his young and handsome face and said, "I came here just to put things to rest with him. When he dies, the hatred in my heart will fade."

Yuwen Tiancheng stared at her lips and called out.

"Mother."

Even though he called her that, he never considered her his mother since he became an adult.

Besides, the old emperor had abolished her position long ago, and she and him no longer had any relationship, so he shouldn't call her like that anymore.

It’s just that if the name is changed, it feels like something is missing.

But he didn't want there to be another person between him and her, so he had to make some changes.

Gao Zhaoyue knew what he wanted, so she took the initiative to move over.

Her lips were soft and fragrant, but her body was still cold.

Yuwen Tiancheng closed his eyes. Even though he knew that Gao Zhaoyue was just using him, he was willing to drink poison to quench his thirst.

Twenty years have passed, and she has changed and remained the same.

It's still the same stunning face, but her soft heart has been sealed off after experiencing the vicissitudes of life, and can no longer accommodate new people.

Yuwen Tiancheng's breathing became disordered, and his consciousness returned to the past...

"Tiancheng, did you fall and get hurt during the horse riding class? Why didn't anyone treat your wound? Come to my mother's palace, I will apply medicine for you."

Gao Zhaoyue was the princess of the Tianyue clan. She had just been in the palace for a few months and knew some of the rumors in the palace. She sighed and comforted the little prince who was only as tall as her waist.

"The Queen doesn't like you, she just doesn't like children."

Because Empress Xiao hated the emperor, she also hated her own son. Yuwen Tiancheng sat on Gao Zhaoyue's lap and felt the warmth and softness of his mother's arms for the first time.

Another year passed.

Gao Zhaoyue gave birth to a prince and was promoted to the position of consort. She held the baby boy in her arms and spoke tenderly to the prince who was almost as tall as her chest.

"Tiancheng, this is your brother, can you take him to play with you in the future?"

Yu Wen Tiancheng looked at the wrinkled little baby, and as she bent down and placed a kiss on his little face, jealousy took root in his heart.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye. Gao Zhaoyue was imprisoned in the palace, and even her newborn daughter was taken away.

Yuwen Tiancheng climbed over the wall to see her in the dark of night.

Gao Zhaoyue was startled and said, "Tiancheng, why are you here? Your father doesn't allow anyone to visit you. Go quickly and don't let anyone find you!"

Coincidentally, she also met the old eunuch who came to deliver poisoned wine and white silk, and she hid Yuwen Tiancheng under the bed.

The old eunuch was waiting at the door. Gao Zhaoyue picked up the white silk with red eyes. She no longer had any hope for the ruthless Yuwen Shuo.

Fortunately, her family had many extraordinary abilities. She could hold her breath for three days and fool Yuwen Shuo, but she had to swear a blood oath first. Therefore, Yuwen Tiancheng, who stayed at the scene, was the only one who knew that she had faked her death...

At this moment, there were loud sounds of mourning and crying outside.

In the side hall, two people were snuggling together, neither of them was paying enough attention.

Yuwen Tiancheng was lost in memories, his tightly closed eyelids moving slightly. Now, Yuwen Tianqing was dead, Yuwen Shuo was also dead, and she was finally completely his.

What Gao Zhaoyue was thinking about was how to make Beili pay for her son's life.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

The knocking pattern of first two, then four and finally three times means that a spy is coming to deliver a message.

Gao Zhaoyue separated from him decisively. Her breath was seductive, but her eyes were clear.

"Tiancheng, let him in."

Yuwen Tiancheng panted, looked at her face which showed no emotion at all, and pulled her hand to his waist.

Gao Zhaoyue asked: "Tiancheng, what are you doing?"

Yuwen Tiancheng asked: "Do you know what I want?"

Gao Zhaoyue said anxiously, "When can we not do this? We have something urgent to do now."

Yuwen Tiancheng said: "You wanted me to raise an army to attack Beili, so I mobilized 300,000 troops and pressed them on the northern border. You wanted your father to die, and I did it."

He squeezed her hand so hard that the blood disappeared from her fingertips.

"Is it because what I gave you was too easy to do, so you don't cherish it, or are you too greedy?"

Gao Zhaoyue observed his expression. After all, she had seen him grow up together and could understand his emotions. She stroked his chest with her other hand.

"Tian Cheng, are you jealous? Didn't I already say that my hatred for Yu Wenshuo has faded?"

Yuwen Tiancheng said: "But there is another person whom you hate. After hearing the news about him, you don't even want to deal with me."

Gao Zhaoyue heard this and said, "Are you talking about the emperor of Beili?" She curled her lips and smiled, "Tiancheng, you are wronging me. We haven't even met."

Yuwen Tiancheng said: "From the tone of my mother, it seems that she is looking forward to meeting you."

Gao Zhaoyue sneered, "I am looking forward to it. Of course I am looking forward to it. Whenever I think of my son dying in a foreign land, with his head and body separated, my heart aches for a single moment."

A gloomy look flashed across Yuwen Tiancheng's eyes, and he gradually loosened the shackles.

Gao Zhaoyue did not pull her hand back, but instead put her arm around his waist, trying to calm his unhappiness.

Yuwen Tiancheng could never resist such a gentle place.

He looked up, closed his eyes and asked, "How do you want him to die?"

Gao Zhaoyue whispered in his ear: "Let his heart ache a little, let him experience the feeling of losing a loved one."

Yuwen Tiancheng said: "Although the little prince stayed in Lin'an, he has a large number of good men around him to watch over him day and night, and Xijin's people can't get close to him."

He said sarcastically: "Besides, emperors are all cruel, and losing their own flesh and blood is nothing."

Gao Zhaoyue's fingers wandered around his earlobe and said, "That's true. I heard an interesting rumor recently."

Yuwen Tiancheng breathed heavily and asked, "What rumors?"
