Chapter 13: Like being in my mother's arms
"If you don't arrange for someone to serve her, the princess is on a hunger strike again, saying that she has never lacked someone by her side since she was a child... If it weren't for the prince, no, the emperor asking for a living person, I would have already..."
"It's a good thing you're here, take her away quickly!"
Su Song felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure in his heart. He had been tortured by Qi Yunzhou and others, and now the county magistrate was being tortured by Qi Yunxi. It could be considered that someone was sharing his suffering, right?
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Excellency," Su Song said politely, "I will take the princess away immediately, but I'll have to trouble you to arrange accommodations for us tonight."
The county magistrate smiled and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard. I have already asked someone to prepare it. I also prepared some dry food. You can take it with you on the road."
Su Song is a powerful general beside the emperor. If he sends the prisoner to Youzhou, he will definitely be appointed a high official after returning.
Using some food to build good relations with Susong will be beneficial and has no disadvantages!
After Qi Yunxi was taken out of the yard, she felt a little panicked.
No way, no way, he is going to be sent to threaten the palace so soon?
Prince Su is really a useless person. He should at least attack for a year or two.
In the palace, Prince Su was reviewing memorials. Having just become emperor, he was very excited about everything an emperor should do. He even reviewed memorials overnight and was even a little addicted to it.
See, this is what the king of the power center needs to do--
"A-choo! A-choo!"
His nose itched and he sneezed twice.
The eunuch was horrified. "Come here! Call the imperial physician! The emperor is ill!"
Prince Su: “…”
Not necessarily.
"Where are you taking me?"
Qi Yunxi asked the people who took her out, trying to get some information from them.
But these people were like mutes, not saying a word.
After arriving at the front yard and handing Qi Yunxi over to Su Song, they withdrew.
"Master Su, this is the eldest princess. If you have no other instructions, I will withdraw."
Susong nodded.
After the county magistrate left, Su Song said to the slightly flustered Qi Yunxi, "Princess, do you have anything you want to take? If not, please follow me."
Qi Yunxi asked warily, "Where are you taking me?"
Su Song was too lazy to answer, but thinking of that terrifying woman Shen Xun and the instructions Shen Xun had given him before he left, he still answered patiently:
"Go and meet up with the team. Your brother Qi Yunzhou is in the team. I will be responsible for taking you to Youzhou."
"Where is Youzhou?"
"Why are you going to Youzhou?"
"Why does my royal brother want to go? Did Prince Su succeed in his rebellion?"
“…”
Qi Yunxi asked a bunch of questions, and Su Song quickened his pace, wishing he could go back the next second.
Children, especially those who talk a lot, are so annoying!
…
The person sent by the county magistrate to arrange the houses divided the prisoners into rooms according to their families. Although they were servants' rooms, at least they had a place to live.
King Hu took his family to a room where Chen Xun and Xie Lan were. She was holding a small mirror, combing her hair and applying perfume, feeling very nervous.
Qi Yunzhou said jealously: "Mom, you weren't this nervous when you saw me."
Shen Xun said unhappily: “The situation was urgent then, but it’s different now.”
Besides, she had lived with Qi Yunzhou for five years, and Qi Yunzhou had some memories of her.
But the younger son and daughter are different. They don’t even know what their mother looks like.
The portrait didn't look like the real thing at all. Shen Xun thought of the camera in his space and decided to take more photos with his family in the future.
Xie Lan sat by the bed, silently peeling chestnuts with Chen Dexi.
"Knock, knock, knock."
There was a knock on the door, Shen Xun opened it, and saw Su Song and a girl standing outside.
"I've brought the person to you. I'm leaving now."
As soon as he saw Chen Xun, Su Song would recall the night when he was frightened by her. He turned around and left without any reluctance.
Qi Yunxi stood outside the door in confusion, feeling that the woman in front of her looked at her strangely.
There is excitement.
There is longing.
It felt like I was going to cry any second.
"you……"
Qi Yunxi hesitated and asked, "Have we met somewhere before?"
Why did she feel that this woman looked familiar?
"Yun Xi, I am your mother."
Qi Yunxi: “???”
She looked at Qi Yunzhou in the room, "Royal brother, what's going on? Is this girl a little...demented?"
In fact, what Qi Yunxi wanted to say was, is this girl crazy? Why does she call herself her mother?
But with so many people around, Qi Yunxi spoke more tactfully.
Qi Yunzhou pulled Qi Yunxi into the house and said to her solemnly: "Yunxi, this is our mother."
Qi Yunxi: “!”
Don't move, I'm thinking.
It’s over, her royal brother has gone crazy too!
Originally he was just a little crazy, a little insane, and a little lovesick, but now his entire brain is probably filled with madness!
"Brother Emperor," Qi Yunxi said, wanting to cry but unable to, "Have you lost the throne and gone mad?"
"This girl looks about your age, how could she be our mother?"
Shen Xun walked up to Qi Yunxi and said to her seriously: "Yunxi, I am really your mother. If you don't believe your eldest brother, you can ask Lao Chen."
Qi Yunxi looked at Chen Dexi, who nodded, "Princess, it is indeed the Queen Mother."
Chen Dexi is an old man who served the late emperor and empress, and his words are still very convincing to Qi Yunxi.
Qi Yunxi made a pause gesture, "Stop talking, I want to be quiet."
To give the mother and daughter space to talk, everyone else went out.
Before Xie Lan left, he put the peeled chestnuts on the table.
Afterwards, Qi Yunxi sat on the stool, his left hand supporting his chin, his facial expression changing unpredictably, while his right hand unconsciously pinched chestnuts and put them into his mouth.
Shen Xun sat next to her, accompanying her quietly.
Shen Xun also had this habit of eating unconsciously while thinking, and he didn't expect that this could be inherited.
After a long while, Qi Yunxi said in confusion: "Um, are you really my mother?"
Shen Xun nodded, "Really."
Qi Yunxi frowned, "I don't quite believe it, but since my brother and Eunuch Chen both said so, let's just assume you are right."
Shen Xun found it funny: "Why do you say 'just treat me as I am'?"
Qi Yunxi said frankly: "Because I was only one month old before my mother disappeared, I don't have any memory of her at all."
"If you really are my mother, I think I can slowly accept this fact... not right away. You look younger than my brother, and I really feel a little..."
Accept incompetence.
Shen Xun looked at Qi Yunxi seriously. In fact, his family was very straightforward in what they said and did. They would never hide anything or do anything like "I won't tell you, I'll let you guess".
Qi Yunxi's cheeks flushed slightly as she was stared at by Chen Xun. "You, you, you, why are you looking at me like that?"
"I think you're very cute," Shen Xun smiled, "Then how about I just do as you say and slowly accept it?"
Qi Yunxi nodded, "Okay."
Perhaps, what the emperor said was true, otherwise why would she feel inexplicably at ease when she was with Shen Xun?
Just like being in mother's arms.
