"But …" Liu Wei said absentmindedly, "My mother definitely knows."
Seeing that Liu Wei had become agitated, Rong Ling reached out to hold her hand and comforted her, "Your mother only fell in love with a man, and was willing to let go of her life to follow him back home."
Liu Wei nodded and took a deep breath.
As for himself, was he lucky enough to have such perfect love like his mother?
Rong Ling was not her father, and she was not her mother either.
What was romantic, what was hopeful, what was love, what was the last thing that should happen was now.
After throwing Rong Ling's hand away, he retracted his gaze, and when he raised his eyes again, his gaze had become sharp.
"Do you regret it?"
Liu Wei lowered his head, not looking at him.
The man sneered. "Regret having a son for me, right?"
Liu Wei suddenly raised his head and glared at her.
Why would he say that now?!
Rong Ling stared into Liu Wei's eyes, and said word by word, "Even if you regret it, it's useless.
Liu Wei: "..."
Rong Ling leaned his broad and sturdy back against the edge of the desk, and said with a bland voice. "Do you know who the person who betrayed the Ji's Family was?"
Liu Wei did not make a sound.
Rong Ling didn't even need to wait for Liu Wei's reply before he directly said, "Sun Kui, the longtime follower of the Ji's Family back then, is now the Marquis of Hui Guang."
Liu Wei frowned, his hand gripping the armrest of the chair, because he had used too much force, with the wrong hand, Liu Wei actually broke the armrest!
With a "kacha" sound, half of the handrail fell off from her hand.
Rong Ling picked up her hand and used his sleeve to wipe the wood shavings on her palm.
Liu Wei did not resist this time, he only stared at Rong Ling's face and said coldly: "Continue."
"Needless to say? Can't you guess? "
Liu Wei had already guessed it, but Liu Wei still needed confirmation!
Rong Ling saw that Liu Wei did not make a sound, and continued: "Before the age of ten, the current Empress of the Qing-Yun Realm followed her father Sun Kui to work at your mother's house. After your mother entered the capital, the Empress summoned your mother to the palace and ordered your mother to be a palace maid for a few years, to serve her closely.
Liu Wei's eyes were ice-cold, "Could it be, that it's because the empress was my mother's slave before?"
"Right." Rong Ling smirked, "The Empress thought that by doing so, she would be able to redeem herself of all the lowly things that happened in the past."
"The empress has done it." When Liu Wei thought about how his mother had suffered so much, suffered so much, and even died a horrible death in the end, her beautiful face and lifeless body, he felt so uncomfortable that his heart clenched.
"The empress failed." Rong Ling saw that Liu Wei's eyes were becoming more and more dark and cold, his brows knitted even more tightly. He could not help but want to smooth out the creases on her forehead: "No matter how you change, the Queen will still be your mother's servant. This is the truth, and it is something that can never be erased."
Even though he clearly knew that these words were meant to comfort her, Liu Wei was still disappointed and comforted.
Liu Wei pursed his lips, his tightly furrowed brows loosened, "The Empress was born of a lowly background, so no matter how high her status is now, she is nothing but a lowly person who has achieved his goals and achieved nothing."
"That's right." Rong Ling said again, "I am very happy that I am not the empress's biological son."
"But you still have to call her 'Queen Mother'."
"No."
Liu Wei raised his eyebrows.
"I only call her Queen."
Liu Wei nodded, he had to say, he was comforted a little!
But Liu Wei was extremely confused: "You chased all of us in Ji's Family for two hundred years just for a fake treasure trove, is it really worth it?"
"* *, no matter whether it's noble or lowly."
That's right, regardless of whether one was noble or lowly, the richer one was, the more greedy they were. Even the ruler of a country coveted the legendary treasures in the sea like a tiger eyeing its prey.
Liu Wei looked at Rong Ling, and asked seriously: "Then after my parents died, did the Liu Family find out about this matter?"
"I don't know." Rong Ling said, "Your Majesty took your father away in the name of hiding the remnants of the dynasty, and only after that, an accident occurred."
"An accident?"
"Someone is trying to break out."
Liu Wei became nervous.
"Your father was brought to the Zhenge Sect prison. On the third day, an elite team charged into the prison."
"Elite squad?"
"The imperial army."
"Whose army?"
"Your father's army."
"He has been at the border of the world for several years. Even if the imperial government did not seal him, he had already used his own abilities to rise up to become a fourth rank chief and brought over seven thousand people with him."
Liu Wei smirked: "My father is really amazing!"
To be able to force his way through the borders under the pressure of the Emperor, such a man was truly a scorching sun.
Rong Ling nodded his head, admitting to his words.
Liu Wei pushed him, "Continue talking, what happened after the prison break?"
Rong Ling paused, and did not speak.
Liu Wei frowned: "Go ahead."
This was what Rong Ling didn't want to tell Liu Wei the most. He was able to tell Liu Wei about the matters of the Ji's Family clan, but was unable to tell him everything regarding how Liu Wei's parents died.
"Surround him and kill him." Finally, Rong Ling said.
Liu Wei looked at Rong Ling with uncertainty.
Rong Ling lifted his eyes and looked straight into Liu Wei's eyes, but they seemed to be filled with tranquility.
"What about my mother?"
"Too much grief, then death."
Even the Liu Family said that her mother died of a disease.
Perhaps, this was the most normal explanation.
But the silence that Rong Ling had displayed just now still made him hesitate.
Was it really that simple?
"What about me?" Liu Wei asked: "I am the daughter of Liu Yuan and Ji Xiaqiu, and I have the bloodline of the Ji's Family. How could Your Majesty let me off? Five years after I left, the emperor wasn't afraid that I would be reunited with the old people of Ji's Family? "
Of course he wasn't afraid, because the Ji's Family had already been slaughtered nine years ago.
From the appearance of Ji Xueyan, to the time the crown prince brought a secret order to exterminate the remaining Ji's Family clansmen, even if there were still remnants of negligence, the Ji's Family must have been powerless to revive them.
"You are Liu Cheng's daughter." Rong Ling said.
Liu Wei frowned.
"This is the Liu Family's protection for you."
Liu Wei shook his head: "This is just a cover, will the emperor believe it?"
"Old master Liu, I once presented you with the Golden Arrow Token. Your majesty, please spare your life."
Liu Wei went silent. An old man she had never seen before.
Liu Wei carelessly rubbed between his brows, still not believing him. "Even so, the Emperor let me off on the surface, but how could he allow me to do this so easily?"
"You were born in the capital, and you were under the emperor's nose until you turned sixteen. What's wrong with you? It's clear to the emperor."
"But I ran away from home for five years."
"It's only been five years, what can you do?"
Liu Wei frowned, he kept having the feeling that Rong Ling's words were very perfunctory.
In actuality, Rong Ling was indeed perfunctoring Liu Wei.
