Just now, it was me who was looking for her eyes, but now it turned out that she was staring at me. She even leaned closer to my face, and she wanted to look straight into my eyes, saying, "Mom, is that true? People who fought outside, those who drove their father out of the capital, and - and the one who kidnapped my mother, are they really my father?"

"I--"

"Is it him?"

“…”

I can't answer.

If it were other times, if it were something else, I could face it calmly and easily. Even if she asked me about the past of Pei Yuanhao and I, I could let this child get the answers she deserved. But now, she has grown up, and those lies of "to give others happiness" cannot deceive her. What Pei Yuanxiu did, what others said, has probably been deeply engraved into her heart. What I should say so that she can avoid this stimulation?

At this moment, tears were already shining in her big apricot kernel's eyes, and her voice choked: "Mom, is it true?"

“…”

"The person who asked Brother Ping to kill the eldest princess and aunt is also the father..."

“…”

"Why did he do this? Mom, why did he do these things?"

At the end of her speech, her voice had already trembled, and tears rolled down from her eyes one by one, dripping onto the back of my hand, a burst of hotness.

I hurriedly carried her into my arms and took out a handkerchief to wipe her. But after just a little cleaned, another wave of flooding began. I sighed and asked her to stand by myself. I looked her eyes straight, and then said softly: "Your father and your father were originally two princes in the royal family. They both have very complicated life experiences, very clever means, and have the ambition to compete for the world... Now, the struggle between them has officially begun, and this is the country that is fighting for."

She could hardly control herself and cried tremblingly: "Mom, didn't you say that fighting is not good? Why did my father fight? Why did he have to fight with his father? Is he not good in Jinling? Why did he come to fight the capital?"

"It's not good to fight, but not everyone will think so. Your father, and there are many people, their purpose and their income, which can be obtained through fighting."

“…”

"As for him, why should he compete with your father--"

“…”

Her breathing became rapid, and she looked at me eagerly, as if she wanted to know the answer, which would ruin the answer and restore everything to peace, but my throat was blocked. What should I say? These two people were probably born to be opponents, and they were destined to fight a life-and-death battle with this vast country; but looking back, how many of the people born in the royal family were not attracted by the golden dragon throne and tempted by the power to rule the world?

This road has long been destined.

Fortunately, I usually think that I am brilliant in the lotus, but at this time, when facing my daughter, I can't even say a high-sounding word. I choked for a long time. I finally said softly: "Miaoyan, there are some problems that are unsolvable. There are some things that I can't give you a real correct answer."

She opened her eyes soaked in tears and looked at me in shock.

It seemed that in her eyes, I should be omnipotent, but now, even I said that I have no way to solve this problem, nor can I give her a correct answer, which shocked her.

I reached out and stroked her hair and said softly: "You have grown up."

“…”

"There are some answers to things that you need to find by yourself, and some things that you need to solve are some that you need to work hard on yourself."

“…”

"Mom has searched and worked hard, but the ending - you have also seen it, it is the situation today."

“…”

She looked at me blankly and said, "Mom, can I find the answer, can I solve this problem?"

I couldn't help but look down at her.

At this time, she was probably helpless. Everything she experienced in the past and everything she saw in front of her made her feel confused and incomprehensible. I gently held her hand and laughed softly: "Actually, I don't want my daughter to walk such a difficult road. Miaoyan, although you are the daughter of your father and the princess admired by everyone, you should have your own life, you must experience it with all the joys and pains."

“…”

"Of course," said this, I lowered my head, pressed my forehead against her forehead, and smiled, "If you can have such an opportunity to prevent this world from falling into war and let everyone live a better life, then-"

She rushed to say, "I will!"

I couldn't help but be shocked. I don't know if it was because of the firmness in her words or the inexplicable palpitations brought to me by this sentence. I looked at her solemn expression and didn't speak for a while.

She said, "Mom told me in the past that war is terrible, but after all the way, I realized that what I said is not true. War is much scarier than what I said!"

“…”

"We came out of the capital, and many people followed us. These people were crying all the way. It was snowing heavily that day. When they walked to the suburbs, some people couldn't see clearly, and they fell into the valley and died. There were also many people who came out with their children, and their children were frozen to death and threw them on the side of the road. The children's mothers were also crying, and their eyes were bleeding."

“…”

"I heard many people talking about it. Some cities, a whole city, and there was no one else; some people had no food to eat because of war, and replaced their children from other families and cooked them-"

When she said this, her face turned pale, and I hurriedly hugged her: "Don't listen to those people's nonsense, nor do you think about these things!"

I really want to tell Chang Qing immediately that she will take care of the people around her, and that it would be fine if other things are gone, why are they gossiping and chewing these things? The children are so young, how big a shadow will they leave in their hearts after listening to it!

She trembled in my arms for a while, then looked up at me: "Mom, such days won't last long, right?"

I said, "Of course!"

“…”

"No dark cloud can cover the sun forever. No matter how cruel the war is, it cannot last longer than peace. We will survive such days!"

Miaoyan nodded gently in my arms.
