The spring water trickled down, and only in the evening did the bright sun fade away and become cooler. The sky was a light blue color and was visible through the slit. It was actually covered by a few wisps of the faint darkness of the evening.
A few large stars twinkled above the top of the hill.
Bao Er sat beside Luo Shang. Can I call you sister? "
Seeing Luo Shang nodding, he smiled sweetly. In the blink of an eye, she turned to look at the man on the other side. His long and narrow eyes were as deep and profound as a vast ocean, causing chills to run down one's spine just by looking at him.
"Can I call him brother?" he asked again.
"Before he could finish his sentence, the man snapped in displeasure." "No way!"
Bao Er lowered his head and looked down. "He suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Leng Shaoyu. Please teach me how to do it. I know you are powerful, and I want to be a hero like you. "In that case, no one will bully my mother, and no one will bully me again." "Please."
No matter how much Bao Er begged, Leng Shaoyu just sat there and did not even glance at him.
"Bao Er, it's getting late. Quickly go back and see your mother …" Luo Shang patted his head and helped him up from the ground.
The child was disappointed. Seeing that Leng Shaoyu did not have a single change in expression, he could only run off in anger.
This child's physical strength was extremely weak, and was not suitable for learning martial arts at all. If he looked well, then perhaps in the future, he might even be able to take the exam and become famous.
Luo Shang sat beside him. The night wind blew gently, and her long hair fluttered behind her back.
"You look so cold, no wonder the child is scared."
"If only we had children." His thick, long eyelashes softened his originally strong and straight figure. A deep feeling of worry was hidden between his slightly wrinkled brows. His eyes shot out cold stars as he looked into the sky.
A faint smile appeared on her elegant face, causing those who saw it to be unable to stop themselves from immersing themselves within the smile.
Child. Did he want to have children between them?
Luo Shang did not speak. The clear and elegant wind caressed her face, but she could only lower her head in shame. Maybe she shouldn't have used that thing again. However, this man had said that he would never want her to bear her child.
Just as she was in a daze, Leng Shaoyu suddenly held her tightly and said in a low voice. Luo Shang, we want a child too. "
Luo Shang's head gently rested against his chest. Although she did not answer, she nodded in tacit agreement.
He had never been as satisfied as he was now in his life. Perhaps she had been satisfied, but she had forgotten.
At dawn, before the sun even rose, Bao Er was already so happy that his mouth could not close. As he ran, he shouted, "Mother is awake! Mother can see!" Luo Shang was happy for him too.
When returning to the thatched cottage, Bao Er helped the woman to sit up, because she still could not see the light that was too glaring, Luo Shang could only undo the cloth covering her eyes to see how she was recovering.
"The woman's eyelashes opened a few times before opening." Thank you, my lady, thank you... "It's, it's you?" When the lady raised her head and saw Luo Shang's face, she was shocked.
Many words suddenly choked in her throat, and she was unable to make a sound. Her hands trembled as she pointed at Luo Shang, and her two hands held onto Luo Shang's arms. "Empress …" Why are you here? "Empress …" I knew you were alive, I knew it. "
Leng Shaoyu stared coldly at the lady with his sharp eyes, as though he was sizing her up.
"Empress?" "Luo Shang laughed softly for some unknown reason, and helped the woman to sit down. "You must have recognized the wrong person. I've never seen you nor am I some Empress."
At the same time, Bao Er was begging Leng Shaoyu, wanting to learn a few techniques to defend himself, but under that helplessness, Leng Shaoyu compromised and left the room with him.
"The lady held onto Luo Shang's hand and refused to let go, she kept repeating herself, as though she had lost her mind. Empress, what's wrong with you? How could you not remember Su Mo?
He said that she looked too much like a person. Remembering that strange old man from the time when the disease struck the capital, Luo Shang probed, "Empress, are you referring to the Madam Yan, the Guardian Queen?"
When the woman heard this, her eyes filled with tears.
"It looks like that empress really is loved and doted on by others. Otherwise, there wouldn't be someone who's been thinking about her for so long." It's just that you have to restrain your grief. When the Heavenly Imperial Guardian was destroyed, the Madam Yan had already committed suicide. I just happen to look a little like the Empress. "
The woman stood still as a log, staring at her with dazed eyes. She slowly leaned back, pressed her head against the wall and closed her eyes. He sighed, "Yes, the Empress is already dead."
"Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she sat up instantly and grabbed Luo Shang's hand once more. Then who are you? How can there be two people that are so similar in this world? You are the Ninth Princess? "
She murmured something, and a smile spread across her face.
Who exactly was this woman? Out of the Su Mo she had just mentioned, she had never heard of a woman called Su Mo.
"You are truly mistaken, I am not someone from Wei." Luo Shang explained to her bit by bit.
The woman shook her head. Forget it, the Ninth Princess had already jumped into the Meteor Shrine that day. He missed the Empress too much, missed the princess too much.
Luo Shang asked her. "You are?"
The woman laughed at herself. Her hair was loose and white, and the wrinkles on her face were numerous. She looked at the small window.
She said: "My name is Su Mo and I am originally the personal Maidservant of the Second Miss of the National Duke Palace. Twenty years ago, when Miss was married, the Maidservant that we married were knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I found myself locked in a sealed iron cage. At that time, I found out that everything was part of Jinghe's scheme and that all of the Maidservant in the iron cage were tortured to death.
Su Mo's hands trembled even more, her eyes filled with fear.
"For more than twenty years, I have always dreamt of nights like these. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. My body was covered in blood, and white bones were piled around me. I escaped from the pile of corpses. He was saved by a kind-hearted brawny man. To repay him, she married him. In my entire life, my biggest wish is to go to Wei Kingdom and see the Empress, even if it's just one time. After that, a palace maid escaped from the Imperial City of Wu Zhou, and seeing that she was almost at her limit, I took her in. " That day, the woman was still holding a small child in her arms.
"Her face was dripping with blood. She was holding a baby boy in her arms. The baby boy had an auspicious dragon birthmark on his arm." "She told me that this was the First Prince of the imperial court, the child of esteemed imperial concubine Rong, and that I must send this child to the empress of Wei. She gave me a gold medal that could allow me to enter Wei Guo." If she had not taken in the child that day, she would not have brought the present disaster upon herself, and her husband would not have died.
"Just like this, my husband and I brought the First Prince to the Acropolis Kingdom. Along the way, we were pursued by soldiers from all over the place. He finally saw the Empress, but the Empress had changed. She had become very cold, and she used to like to laugh. She only took the letter. When she heard that it was Imperial Concubine Rong's child, she accepted the prince without even thinking. I am a member of the Wu Zhou, and there are so many people who want my life. In order to not bring any trouble to the Empress, I escaped back to Acropolis with my child's father at night.
Su Mo remembered that eleven years ago, when she was just born, not long ago, the house caught fire. She hid in the grass with the child in her arms, and watched dozens of killers stab their swords into their husband's chest.
Shen Changqing, from the back courtyard, was the palace maid that was given to Prince Su Mo all those years ago.
"Lady, I am so sorry, I have recognized the wrong person. From the way you look, you must be the daughter of a rich family in the capital. Bao Er just said your name. I'm too old, I couldn't remember it clearly. "Those with the surname Luo from the capital city …" Su Mo's pale face sank into deep thought. Even after thinking for a long time, she was still unable to come to a conclusion.
Seeing that Su Mo's condition had improved, the mother and son duo could at least live a peaceful life here.
On their way out of the country, they stopped for a while at a teahouse near the South End. Seeing that she was distracted, Leng Shaoyu threw in a sum of silver before she left.
He untied the reins of the horse tied to the pillar and with his long fluttering clothes, he leapt up onto the horse, lowered his head and looked at Luo Shang, then extended her hand. "Come up!"
Luo Shang smiled and untied the reins of the other horse. Riding on the horse, he waved the whip and left.
Whether it was a man or a woman, the people of Wei were all naturally fond of horses. It seemed that this rumor was true.
She was a person of Wei Guo, but in the end, who was she from Wei Guo …
