Speaking of which, it is the love and hatred of the older generation.
He has never seen who Xie Tingzhou's biological mother is.
He once asked the old prince to draw a picture. The prince thought about it for a long time, but he only drew the back of a village girl.
Xie Tingzhou asked Beilin King why there was only a back view. At that time, Beilin King said that it had been too long and he had forgotten.
His mother was just an ordinary village woman from the frontier fortress. That year, King Beilin led his troops to pass by. The river was too high to cross, so they had to stay there.
Just like the general and the orphan girl in the storybook, love comes so suddenly, just a glimpse, or just encountering some warmth on the road.
After only three days together, King Beilin left with his troops and promised to pick her up after he returned with his troops.
But the war came so suddenly, and the war lasted for a year.
When King Beilin went to pick her up again, he learned that she had died in childbirth, leaving only her infant son to be raised by a neighbor.
The mother, who had no wealth, could only leave her child with a bunch of her hair and an inconspicuous bracelet.
Not all people can stay together forever, and not all love can be unforgettable.
These few words represent that woman's life in a hurry.
In just three short days, that woman left a faint mark on King Beilin's heart. It was so faint that a few years later, he could no longer remember her appearance.
In fact, King Beilin already had a princess at that time, and King Beilin took him back to raise him next to the princess.
The princess had difficulty in giving birth. After eight years of marriage, she was still childless and regarded him as her own.
But everything ended when he was Western.
The princess is pregnant.
She has a child of her own.
"I didn't understand at the time. The princess always asked me to give in to my younger brother. I thought it was because my younger brother was younger and my mother should love him more."
Xie Tingzhou fell into memories, with vague madness floating in his eyes.
"Beilin at that time was not as peaceful as it is now. The Beirong people attacked frequently, and my father often went to war. In the years that followed, I was almost always brought up by Uncle Zhong."
"I have practiced hard since I was a child, and I have not fallen behind in calligraphy and painting, as well as kung fu. I always thought that if I work harder and become better, my mother will like me a little bit, but every time I get nothing but perfunctory results, I wonder if it is me. not enough."
Shen Yu turned around and hugged his waist, burying her head in his chest, "It's all over."
She felt heartbroken. How did he come here after such a long period of time when he was a child? Feeling abandoned by his mother, how could he secretly lick his wounds?
"It's not over yet." Xie Tingzhou tightened his hand around her waist, "She finally took action."
Shen Yu didn't understand and listened to him continue.
He is Xie Yun. He is so dazzling that he has already fought with King Beilin. He became famous in one battle at the age of ten and the Beirong people on the border were frightened by the news.
When he returned, he thought he would finally get praise this time, but what he got was a strange and wary look from Princess Beilin.
When the princess's children grew up, she began to fear that the nominal legitimate son would take away her son's throne.
She began to send snacks to Xie Tingzhou every day as long as he was at home. Even if he was away on an expedition, she would make something for him to take with him on the road. She told him lovingly that the expedition was difficult and that he must take care of himself. Body.
He cherished this "belated maternal love" very much, and sent letters home one after another. In addition to replies, each time he brought snacks made by his mother herself.
I thought it was belated maternal love, but unexpectedly it turned out to be poison that penetrated the intestines.
Later, he was injured in a battle, and the Beirong people quenched poison on the arrows.
Only then did he discover that he had been suffering from chronic poison for a long time.
Fate is sometimes so bizarre. The combination of the incurable poison and the chronic poison he had been taking all year round actually saved his life.
Shen Yu closed her eyes, trembling with pain.
Xie Tingzhou lowered his head and kissed her temples, then stroked her back comfortingly.
He raised his head and looked out the window and said, "She thought I was gentle by nature, but she didn't know that I would retaliate for my anger."
There is no such thing as a gentle nature, that is the gentleness he left to his "mother".
He carefully held a sincere heart, but what he got in the end was poison that penetrated the intestines. How could he be willing to do so.
Seeing that he was still alive, Princess Beilin thought that she had not given enough medicine, so she added a stronger dose.
That was the last time that he, Princess Beilin, and her son had dinner at the same table.
He bet that she still had some mother-son affection for him, and secretly exchanged the wine for her biological son under her nose.
As a result, she reaped the consequences and watched her biological son vomit blood and die in front of her.
"It was then that I realized that she was not my biological mother. She said that I should not die a good death, that I should be alone all my life and fall into hell forever."
Xie Tingzhou stared at her quietly, "Is she right?"
"Of course not." Shen Yu looked up at him, "Now that you have me, you won't be alone all your life. We will live for many, many years and have several children, and we will be buried together after death."
Xie Tingzhou curled her lips, and he tore open his scars without reservation. She gave him the answer he wanted, using herself to heal his childhood scars.
"That's a promise," he said.
Shen Yu didn't react, "What?"
Xie Tingzhou pinched her hand with the bracelet on it and said, "You said you wanted to have several children with me."
Shen Yu blinked, then felt a little embarrassed and buried her head in his chest, "I haven't told my father yet."
"Tomorrow." Xie Tingzhou smiled and said, "I will accompany you to see him tomorrow."
Shen Yu nodded, suddenly remembered something, and broke away from his arms, "My grandmother said that King Beilin sent something to Luozhou."
"I asked you to deliver it." Xie Tingzhou tilted his head and called out the window, "Prepare food."
The lanterns in the courtyard were lit, and the maids filed in.
Uncle Zhong was very discerning. Seeing that the prince had kicked everyone out, he told the kitchen not to rush the cooking and wait until the food was passed around before cooking.
Uncle Zhong was standing at the entrance of the courtyard, a little disappointed.
Changliu looked confused, "Grandpa, why are you sighing?"
Uncle Zhong said earnestly: "It's only been less than half an hour. It's not a good sign."
"Why? Wouldn't it be better to eat earlier?"
"You kid doesn't understand." Uncle Zhong shook his head and left, saying, "I have to ask Dr. Yu to come and check the prince's pulse tomorrow. It's really... a little too fast. I wonder if he hurt his roots in the early years. I'm afraid. It needs to be replenished.”
