C129 (2/2)

When Old Madem was saying these words, he happened to be carrying some tea, and standing outside the bedroom, he heard everything clearly.

That's right, more than ten years had passed. In the eyes of her mother-in-law, she was still a concubine after all. So what if she came from the house of the Marquis?

At that time, when her husband wanted to fix her, Old Madem was also extremely unwilling. She said that there was no rule for me to do so and that a concubine is my concubine.

Mrs. Bi handed the tea leaves to the servants and left.

It was already dusk, but the capital was still bustling with activity.

On the way back to the inn, Xiaowan bought a big meat bag for his son to eat. Holding his son's hand, they walked into the shop.

A noblewoman was sitting at the Eight Immortals Table. When she saw them, she hurriedly stood up.

”Xiaowan, you're here …” Once Siyan opened her mouth, tears came out.

The person in front of him was wearing a simple azure robe with an azure belt. His black hair was tied up in a silver hairpin. His pale face and eyes were calm, and his body exuded a cold aura.

The young lady who had hastily wrapped up the green bean cake in a handkerchief and handed it to her and gently invited her to eat it on the road before him, was the person who made people feel warmth and vitality at first glance really the person in front of them?

”Empress.” remembered that this person had also appeared in the Palace at the time. Thinking back to it now, could it be that he was the current Empress? She knelt down with him.

Siyan hurried forward and helped Xiaowan up. She choked: ”Why are you kneeling down? Xiaowan, what do you want me to do …”

Her gaze landed on the chubby little fellow beside her. As he was eating a big meat bun, his mouth was filled with oil. Suddenly, he smiled at her.

This smile looked extremely similar to the Xiaowan, but Siyan heard her brother say that this was a child that the Xiaowan and the Manager Ling had adopted.

Not long after, the Xiaowan and the Queen went to the guest rooms upstairs, Lian Yi hugged Little Pei, and waited downstairs with the Uncle Biao. The Uncle Biao sighed: ”Miss Meng, I said something that's inappropriate, but I'm afraid the current emperor knows where Ershan is.

”What does that mean?” Lian Yi asked, ”You mean...”

”Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's hard to say.” Uncle Biao felt in his pockets, wanting to smoke a cigarette. Seeing that the imperial guards and the eunuch from the Palace Maid stood in the room, he decided to give up.

Upstairs, the two sisters had just reunited after a long separation. They should have been hugging each other as they spoke of their happiness while laughing and crying. But now, they were in such a miserable state.

”The little princess must be very cute, but it's a pity that I didn't get the chance to meet his.” The Xiaowan said, ”After we find Ershan, we will need to return to the Baisha Town.”

The Xiaowan obviously didn't want to talk about those things. She briefly explained the reason why they came to the capital, her gaze always downcast. She was clearly sitting opposite of the Empress, yet they were separated by thousands of miles.

Actually, she had always understood that as a country girl, how could she be qualified to be the empress's friend? That part of fate came and went as quickly as it came, but it was only to hide a precious memory in her heart.

One had to know that they were separated by thousands of li, separated by clouds and mud. It was difficult for them to meet again, so why would they talk about friends and sisters?

But Siyan had never thought of her like this. She treated the Xiaowan as her true friend and sister, and looked forward to every time they meet in the future. She hoped that she would live a good life, be happy for her, be sad for her.

”I only know that you were bullied by the villagers. Manager Ling's Baisha Town burned in anger, and many people died and were injured. The empress sobbed softly, his voice choked with sobs. ”But I don't know what happened to Manager Ling. I only heard about it from my brother today, I …”

”Empress, don't cry.” Xiaowan looked at Siyan and sobbed, not knowing what to do. She, who had lost her husband, was still calm.

”These days, I always feel sad for no reason, and tears would unknowingly fall from my eyes.” After Siyan calmed down, she said with a wry smile, ”I thought that you had become pretentious, but I didn't expect that it was real. Because you were sad, so I was sad as well.”

Xiaowan shook her head. ”Empress, I am not worthy.”

”They won't tell me what happened. My brother only told me what he saw.” Siyan held onto Xiaowan's hand, and lightly trembled, ”But I'm not stupid, I understand … But, one of them is my brother while the other is my husband. Xiaowan, I don't have the face to come and see you. ”

”Empress, no, this has nothing to do with you. It … it is the life of my husband and I.” ”I don't want to blame anyone else. I just want people who are still alive to be able to live well. I want to find Ershan and bring him back to life so that he can fulfill his brother's wish.”

”Ershan is missing?” Siyan felt that her own life was simply laughable.

This was probably the sorrow of the people of the deep Palace Maid, the Emperor didn't want her to know anything, even if the sky outside collapsed, she wouldn't notice it at all. She was like a canary trapped in Culture Hall, and only needed to chirp happily.

The two of them gradually calmed down. Xiaowan had said something, and Siyan had also said what she knew.

”It's not a good idea for you guys to go door-to-door like that.” Siyan said, ”Big brother is willing to help, he …”

The empress paused, her heart tangled with pain. She was certain that her brother would never chase after the Manager Ling, but was he supposed to push everything onto the Emperor just to get rid of his brother?

That was his husband, the ruler of Daqi. The helplessness on his shoulder was something that many people could understand, and Siyan did not understand as well. However, she had to stand by her side and share the burden with him.

”I will definitely help you find Ershan.” The empress held onto Xiaowan's hand tightly. ”Xiaowan, trust me.”

”Empress …” I really want to go back to that Mid-Autumn Festival. I really want to … ” Xiaowan cried as her whole body trembled. Siyan held her in her arms and accompanied her to the point where she was about to cry.

This was the capital, so not only could Ling Chaofeng feel the sorrow and joy from the Xiaowan, he could also hear what she was saying.

If he could, he hoped that Xiaowan would always be that reckless and impulsive young lady. No matter what she did wrong, he would take care of it, and even if she were to poke a hole in the sky, he would make up for it.

He didn't want the Xiaowan to grow, he didn't want her to suffer.

Ling Chaofeng flew out, and just as he was about to make a move to capture the demon, a voice came from the sky, ”Chaofeng, do not take action.
