No way!
The old man was not a person of this era!
Liu Ruo Qing's mind was about to explode. Could it be that it was as she had guessed just a moment ago, that the old fellow was actually a person of this generation, and had worn him back to the modern world?
This was a transcendence, and the probability of this happening was as low as the dust. How could it be so easy on the old man?
Liu Qian Xun ignored the shock in her eyes, pointed to the woman in the painting, and asked: "Do you know who she is?"
His eyes and tone were very calm. At this time, the Master and disciple didn't seem to be enemies. Instead, they seemed to have returned to their previous intimacy.
Liu Ruo Qing glanced at Liu Qian Xun's slightly blurry eyes. After staring at the drawing girl for a long time, his eyes became a little dazed.
"I don't know."
She shook her head and replied, her gaze following Liu Qian Xun's line of sight, landing on the lady on the painting.
"She is the last Queen of the Great Mo Empire."
Liu Qian Xun's answer stunned Liu Ruo Qing yet again, "The last generation empress of the Great Mo Empire? Jiao Lian and Mo Rong Tian's mother? "
Liu Qian Xun was not surprised that Liu Ruo Qing could guess their identities. Hearing her ask that, he nodded, "Yes."
Liu Ruo Qing was even more dumbfounded this time.
The old man fell in love with a last generation empress?
What was going on?
In Liu Ruo Qing's heart, there were too many questions to ask. She blinked her eyes in disbelief as she stared at Liu Qian Xun.
Liu Qian Xun's voice, at this time, sounded a little distant, and her eyes were always staring at the woman on the painting.
"When Meng Chang Xiong led the troops into the Imperial City, she didn't want to be humiliated, so before the troops entered the Imperial City, he swallowed gold and committed suicide."
At this time, Liu Qian Xun's voice sounded slightly fluctuating, as well as a little angry while gritting his teeth.
Liu Ruo Qing did not understand where this anger came from. Changing the dynasty was a common thing, since the empress had committed suicide to protect him, why would the old man still be angry?
She didn't die at the hands of General Meng.
Liu Qian Xun seemed to see the disapproval in her eyes, she coldly snorted and continued: "But even if she dies, Meng Chang Xiong's soldiers will not let her go, they will kill her in front of all those people from the palace …"
Liu Qian Xun did not finish his words. He simply did not want to think back to the scene when he rushed into the empress's chambers to save her.
The palace maids knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness as they screamed until their hearts tore apart. Those beasts were on her body …
In this moment, Liu Ruo Qing didn't even need to wait for her to speak, she could already guess it from the expression on his face and the killing intent.
Gouge … A corpse.
General Meng's soldiers had such strong tastes?
In the next second, Liu Ruo Qing ruthlessly slapped herself in her heart. At this time, how could she think about such a question.
If the empress had suffered such humiliation after her death, it was only right for the old man to be angry.
Suddenly, Liu Ruo Qing thought of an important question. She glanced at the furious Liu Qian Xun and pursed her lips.
The old man was already in his eighties. Judging by her looks, even if her mother was alive, she would at most be in her fifties right now. According to this age, the last generation Empress might not even be in her fifties.
The old man fell in love with a woman over thirty years older than him?
Although in their era, not to mention thirty years old, she could even be a fifty year old or so, but she still couldn't accept such a huge age gap.
At this time, Liu Qian Xun withdrew his gaze from the painting. The shock and astonishment in his eyes was obvious, this was the little girl that he had raised with his own hands, how could he not see what she was thinking?
"Don't you have a lot of questions for me?"
Liu Qian Xun opened his mouth and looked at Liu Ruo Qing. His eyes were still calm and indifferent, without any sort of emotion.
Liu Ruo Qing retracted her eyebrows, thought for a while and said: "Master, you are actually someone from this era, right?"
Liu Qian Xun was not surprised that Liu Ruo Qing could ask this question. The girl that he had raised had always been very intelligent, but she just sometimes didn't like to use her brain.
And now, the master-disciple relationship between him and this girl was about to be completely resolved.
The two of them stood on different sides. From now on, they would be enemies.
In his heart, Liu Qian Xun sighed somewhat sorrowfully. He was not angry that he raised up an ingrate, after all, he was the one who used her.
After a long while, he sighed and said, "That's right. I was originally a member of this country. I am the Imperial Advisor of the Great Mo Empire."
Because he had already guessed it, Liu Qian Xun's answer did not cause Liu Ruo Qing to feel much surprise.
Liu Qian Xun suddenly smiled again and looked towards Liu Ruo Qing, "Girl, not only am I a person of this generation, you are also one."
This time, Liu Ruo Qing was dumbstruck, the expression on her face stiffened up for a long time as well.
She stared at Liu Qian Xun's face that did not seem like she was joking. After a while, she managed to recover her senses. The shock in her eyes became even more obvious, "Master, you … What did you say? "
Liu Qian Xun did not repeat what he said just now, but continued, "Twenty years ago, the imperial palace of the previous dynasty was invaded by Meng Chang Xiong and his men. After I settled down the crown prince, I planned to return to look for the little princess who was just a few months old.
Liu Ruo Qing had been shocked by the truth that Liu Qian Xun revealed. It had been a while since she was able to recover from such an astonishing and inconceivable truth.
"Then... "And the woman?"
Only after a long while did Liu Ruo Qing barely manage to make a sound.
Liu Qian Xun's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was recalling some vague memories from the past.
"That woman was covered in blood. It seems like she was chased for a while. After handing the child to me, she died."
Liu Ruo Qing's eyes suddenly became hot, and her lips trembled, "She … Is she my mother? "
Liu Qian Xun shook his head with certainty, "No."
"Master, are you so sure?"
Liu Qian Xun was after all, a teacher of the nation, and knew more than most people about certain things, "The 'swaddling' you are wrapped in, is made with extremely precious materials. If it is not used by the royal family, it is only used by the children of influential families and families, and that woman should be your family's servant.
At the moment, Liu Ruo Qing's heart was in turmoil, but when she thought about it carefully, she could understand a lot of things.
She was the daughter of a noble family, and her parents were being hunted. She was given her life by a servant, and finally met her master.
That is to say, she also carried a blood feud with her?
If even the servants weren't spared, then her family basically had no hope of surviving.
But just who was she? Who had such a huge grudge against her family that even wanted to exterminate her? Furthermore, she wouldn't even let her servants and babies go?
