Luo Xue Ning and the secret guards searched for Long Mo Xun in the snow for a whole day and a night, but there was no trace of Long Mo Xun.
He and the mysterious woman just disappeared in the snow.
During this day and night, they experienced the most helpless moment. Even though Luo Xue Ning had thought about it thousands of times in her heart, Long Moshun still disappeared in front of her.
Suddenly, a figure in the snow attracted her attention. Luo Xuen rushed forward without caring about anything and even fell in the snow because she ran too fast.
Although he was hurt from the fall, Luo Xuening didn't care about his own injuries. He kept moving forward and finally saw the figure in the snow. Looking at Long Moshun's face, although it was still pale, his breathing was steady. He was in much better condition than yesterday.
"Ah Xun, wake up."
Luo Xu'en was able to gently pat Long Moxun and wake the sleeping man up.
She only saw the man open his sleepy eyes, and a hint of heartbreaking sadness flashed across his cold brows. Suddenly, her body was tightly hugged by the man.
His body was still warm, pressing against Luo Xuening's body, making her feel extremely warm. But at this moment, Long Moshun himself was shaking constantly, and there was too much pain suppressed in his heart, and he had no time to express it.
Luo Xuening knew his pain. He ran here with all his might to find his biological mother, but was rejected by her. This man must be feeling very miserable. She couldn't even imagine how helpless the man felt when he was abandoned by his biological mother during childbirth.
She hugged him tightly, comforting him silently.
Long Moxun held the soft body in his arms, sadness gradually filling his eyes. When he was alone, he could hold back his sadness, but when he was next to Luo Xuening, he didn't want to suppress his emotions too much.
Because she was his only comfort, and the one he always let down his guard and trusted.
Hot tears fell from her eyes and landed on Luo Xuening's neck. She only felt a wet and warm sensation inside her body.
It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but until he was heartbroken, Luo Xue Ning gently patted Long Moshun's back, as if comforting a wounded child.
She felt sorry for his helplessness at the moment, and told him in this Dong language: everything will pass.
"Ning'er, my mother really doesn't want to see me."
Long Moxun spoke in a hoarse voice, holding Luo Xuening in his arms, helplessly.
"No, I can see that she still cares about you. She just can't accept it for the time being. Can we give her some time?"
Long Moxun nodded. With Luo Xuening's comfort, he felt that his mood was not so bad anymore.
Moreover, the scene of yesterday replayed before his eyes. His mother was beside him, injecting internal energy into him. He felt as if something was peeling off from his body. It seemed that the poison that had troubled him for more than 20 years did not invade his body as usual.
The subtle changes in his body also surprised Long Mosun. He really wanted to know what Mu Fei had done to him last night.
Following the route of yesterday, Long Moshun brought Luo Xuening back to the small cave where Concubine Chen lived. There were still some unburned dead branches in the cave, which meant that his mother didn't go far.
Long Moxun searched everywhere, and finally, he found the woman hiding in the dark.
"Mother."
When Long Mosun saw Concubine Chen, his heart sank again. His mother was such a beautiful and gentle person. She had a delicate face, dark eyebrows like distant mountains, and long, thick hair that was always tied into various buns. She was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes away. However, the person in front of him was obviously much older. Her black hair was stained with white snow, and the wrinkles on her forehead showed that her youth was gone. The shabby clothes and most of her face covered by her hair made Long Mosun's heart tremble violently.
He knelt in front of her and called her affectionately.
"Your poison has been cured, and I have fulfilled my promise. You can go now. From now on, the relationship between you and me as mother and son is over."
"Mother, why are you like this? Are you mad at your son for not finding you sooner?"
Long Moxun's voice was hoarse, suppressing a lot of pain. He looked directly at Chen Fei, his eyes full of expectation.
"I told you, don't come to see me again."
Chen Fei angrily swung her hand, and the power gathered in her palm knocked Long Moxun far away.
Luo Xuening couldn't help but feel sad when she saw this scene, but she had always been a sensible person. She knew that no matter what her status as an adopted child was, when she followed Long Moshun here, she was always an outsider in front of them and their mother, and she had no right to intervene.
In the end, Luo Xue Ning just looked at Chen Fei helplessly, turned around and walked out of the cave.
Outside the cave, Long Moxun stood straight with his body erect, kneeling upright in the wind and snow.
The wind and snow hit his resolute face mercilessly. Luo Xuening walked away without saying a word, but just stayed by his side quietly.
Luo Xuening knelt in the snow for as long as she did so. Luo Xue stood in the wind and rain. Occasionally, she looked back at Long Moshun, her eyes filled with worry.
And every time at this time, Long Moshun would always respond with a comforting smile. The wind and snow did not make them retreat, and the two of them held hands tightly together.
The secret guards were the same, silently accompanying their master, kneeling in the snow, and they would get up whenever the man with the mustache got up.
They thought that one day, they would be able to wait until Concubine Chen came out.
However, the situation in the capital city does not wait for anyone.
"Your Highness, it's bad. News has come from the capital that the emperor is critically ill and can no longer attend court to handle state affairs. Now, the crown prince Long Lingxun is acting as regent. Right now, the queen and the crown prince are suppressing the dissident party with great fanfare. The court is in chaos. Please return to the capital as soon as possible, Your Highness."
Hearing this news, Luo Xue Ning's face changed. Long Mo Xun's silent body was stiff for a moment, and his face changed slightly. He just looked at the closed cave. He knew that if he left at this time, his mother would never be able to leave here again.
"Tell them to hold the capital. For now, just protect yourself and wait for me to come back."
"But Your Majesty, when do you plan to leave?"
The secret guard took a look at the closed cave, his eyes full of worry.
The situation in the capital is more dangerous than here. They have no way to stop the prince's decision, but they still hope that the prince will not act on impulse.
"Go down."
Long Moshun glanced at the secret guards with an unhappy look on his face. His secret guards did not need to care about what decision their master made. Their duty was to obey orders.
The secret guard knew he had crossed the line and didn't dare to say anything more. He retreated silently, while Long Moxun was still kneeling upright outside the cave.
He couldn't leave unless his mother left.
However, Chen Fei, who was inside the cave, heard their conversation clearly.
The third alarm came from the capital, and this time it was about the Emperor. Now, the capital had been controlled by the Empress and the Crown Prince. Even delivering letters would involve great risks. However, under such circumstances, letters from the capital were delivered here in various ways.
It is conceivable how critical the situation in the capital was. This time, the content of the letter was only two words: "critically ill".
Emperor Nan Shao is critically ill, and a battle to seize the throne is about to break out. If Long Mosun rushes back at this time, he may still be able to save the situation.
If they miss this opportunity, the situation in the capital will be decided, and they will have no chance of turning the tables.
This time, Long Mosun held the letter tightly. He knew that he really couldn't be so willful anymore.
"Mother, my father is seriously ill and the capital is in danger. I have no choice but to go back. Please take care of yourself. If I am lucky enough to come back, I will definitely come back to the capital. If not, I will never be able to come back. Please forget what happened today and take care of yourself."
Long Moxun said this in a dim voice, with a hint of scheming in his stern eyes. This was his last effort for Concubine Chen. He bet that his mother still cared about him and had not completely forgotten the man in the palace.
Long Mosun waited outside for a quarter of an hour, but no one came out. He waved his hand indifferently and prepared to go back. Suddenly, a figure rushed out of the cave.
"Wait a moment."
Long Moxun paused, and the clouds of sorrow that had been lingering on his indifferent face for many days finally dissipated.
