Qing Yan wiped the blood on his hands, turned around, and hugged them both tightly.
Hearing the cry, she smiled and said, "Why are you crying like this? I've turned into two little tabby cats."
Qing Lingyi raised her face with tears in her eyes, "You...why did you come back?"
Bi Wei also cried hard, "What's going on?"
Qing Yan wiped away their tears with one hand and said patiently: "I was not fighting in the north back then. I was accidentally bitten by a dog. It took me several years to recover from my injuries."
Hearing that he was bitten by a dog, Qing Lingyi suddenly became nervous: "Is it serious? Does it still hurt now?"
Qing Yan comforted her, "I'm fine. Yeah, don't worry."
After so many years, Qing Lingyi burst into tears when she heard her mother call her by her nickname again, unable to say anything.
"It's you, uh-huh," Qing Yan stared at her, "Have you suffered a lot of grievances over the years?"
Qing Lingyi shook her head with pear blossoms in the rain.
Qing Yan stroked her cheek, "Now that I'm back, no one in the world can bully you anymore."
As for those who bullied Hmm in the past, she would never let them go.
This is her baby girl!
"Okay, you two, stop crying now."
Qing Yan said in a good voice, "I have just arrived in Suidu and I have to go to the palace first. Let's go together."
Qing Lingyi wiped away her tears.
She and Bi Wei returned to the carriage. Qing Yan glanced at Ji Fanzhi and said, "I, Qing Yan, will go back and bring a message to Cheng Yang."
Ji Fanzhi: "General, please speak."
Qing Yan said coldly: "I'll settle the score with him later!"
Ji Fanzhi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Biwei.
But Biwei didn't look at him at all.
Saw the carriage drive towards the palace.
A guard on the side asked: "Should we continue to follow?"
"We can't follow." Ji Fanzhi put away his weapon.
No one among them could defeat Qing Yan, not to mention that it was a royal palace and it was heavily guarded, so they couldn't follow him.
Ji Fanzhi frowned and ordered: "Go to the right guard."
"yes."
Cheng Yang was half a step slower. Hearing about Xie Xian's conspiracy, he was about to rush over with a dark face.
But he ran into Ji Fanzhi head-on.
Cheng Yang looked sternly, "Didn't I tell you to protect my wife at all times?"
Ji Fanzhi said helplessly: "General Qing is back."
Cheng Yang was stunned.
"Now, Madam has followed General Qing into the palace." Ji Fanzhi added in his heart, taking Bi Wei with him.
Cheng Yang paused for a moment and tightened the reins, "You all go back to the right guard while I go into the palace."
·
Qing Yan secretly returned to Suidu and entered the palace in a grand manner.
Emperor Liang was discussing affairs with Xie Jianzhi in the Mingde Hall. Hearing the report from the palace, he didn't believe it at first. But how could the palace people dare to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?
Not caring about anything else, he left Xie Jianzhi and ran out.
Not far out of the palace, he saw Qing Yan, dressed in black, striding towards him.
He has aged a lot, but she seems as young as she remembers.
His brows were sharp and his face was extremely aggressive, like fire or a sword.
In a daze, Emperor Liang seemed to be back when he was being chased. She rode her horse across the sea of fire, bent down to him and stretched out her hand, saying: "Catch me!"
Amazing moment.
Inadvertently, such a long time has passed.
"Yan Mei..." Emperor Liang murmured, as if he had turned back into the pale and gloomy young prince who always wanted her to protect him.
"Your Majesty, long time no see." Qingyan said in a clear voice.
Emperor Liang stared at her, "I thought you..."
Qing Yan went in alone, "Why did my daughter get married so early?"
Emperor Liang paused and explained: "I remember when you said that if Ling Yi got married, you would only like Cheng Yang..."
Qing Yan was slightly stunned: "I said this back then. At that time, Cheng Yang was good-looking and had a good temper. But I didn't really nod. Why did Your Majesty take such a gossip seriously? I only have one daughter, Ling Yi!"
The surrounding palace people listened and looked at it with strange expressions on their faces.
Over the years, Emperor Liang grew older and showed more and more majesty as an emperor.
Neither the much-loved Concubine Ming nor the empress Xie from a distinguished family dared to say or act like this to the emperor.
This general is so bold as he has never been before.
Emperor Liang did frown.
After all, he is no longer the young prince who needs Qing Yan's protection. He has been the emperor for many years and is used to being groveling and respectful.
"In short," Qing Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm down her emotions, "No. My daughter is not worthy of anyone, not even Cheng Yang."
Emperor Liang advised her: "But they are married after all..."
"Then make peace." Qing Yan didn't even think about it.
"Isn't this bad? Lingyi will have to live a better life from now on..."
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about this matter." Qing Yan said in her heart that her daughter can live a good life regardless of whether she has a man or not.
However, Emperor Liang still wanted to maintain the marriage and thought: "Should we also ask Ling Yi for his opinion? Maybe she also has a good impression of Cheng Yang."
Qing Yan hummed, "I'll ask her later."
Emperor Liang said: "I am happier than anyone else that you are back safely. There is a newly built Swiss Garden to the east of the palace. You and Ling Yi will live there from now on, right?"
Qingyan nodded, "Okay."
She looked at Xie Jianzhi who appeared behind Emperor Liang, with a cold light in her eyes.
Emperor Liang observed her expression and said: "Jiang Zhao has passed away, and there is no one in the court who can be reused, so I have no choice but to invite him back."
Qing Yan said calmly and in an indifferent voice: "This is government affairs, your Majesty does not need to speak to me."
Emperor Liang stared at her for a moment and then said, "I'll send someone to take you to Ruiyuan."
Qing Yan looked back and nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Liang called Kuang Jinxue to come and said, "Take General Qing to Ruiyuan and send capable people to serve and take care of it. There must be no mistakes."
"yes."
·
at the same time.
The carriage entered the palace gate and stopped under the jade steps.
Xu Lian followed Qing's instructions and stayed outside the carriage, never leaving.
Qing Lingyi and Biwei cuddled up against each other in the carriage, waiting for Qing Yan obediently.
Suddenly, a familiar and magnetic male voice came urgently: "Yeah!"
Qing Lingyi was stunned, it was Cheng Yang.
Xu Lian stepped forward to stop him, "General Cheng, stay!"
Cheng Yang stopped and said, "Yeah, at least listen to my explanation!"
Qing Lingyi frowned and did not respond.
"My father and brother died back then. I knew they died unjustly, but I was helpless," Cheng Yang said to himself, "I never liked Xie Xian, but I had no choice but to take advantage of her family background, so , I asked Wu Liang to write to her in my name to get information from her. This lasted for about a year. Later, when I gained power, I stopped communicating with her. She wrote to me many letters later, I didn’t answer her again, not even once.”
