"Do you know, what she wants most?"

This question made me a little stunned. I actually knew the answer vaguely, and subconsciously didn't want to hear the answer from his mouth. But he turned his head and looked at the beautiful words holding the branches and laughing constantly, and slowly said, "What she wants most is that we can all accompany her."

My heart felt like I was stabbed by a needle, and it hurt.

Who doesn't want this?

Who doesn’t want their parents to be by their side and share family life?

Even in those dusty past events, my father took me to play, and my mother stood quietly aside and smiled at our scene.

This is true for me, and so is Miaoyan.

However, there are not many scenes I can recall, and even fewer ones she can have.

Thinking of this, my mood also became a little depressed. At this time, Miaoyan grabbed the two ends of the flower branches in his hands and circled them on his face. He ran to me and asked with a smile: "Mom, do you think it's good?"

I looked at her little face that was more pink and tender by the yellow flowers, and smiled and reached out and stroked her cheek: "Of course it looks good, but my wonderful words look good no matter what."

"hey-hey!"

She smiled so hard that her eyes were curved, and she ran to the other side to see if there were any new flowers there. Eunuch Yu was worried that she would fall and hurriedly followed her with a few servants.

Pei Yuanhao and I stood there, waiting until Miaoyan's back disappeared among the flowers, and the smile on my face slowly calmed down.

I thought for a while and said calmly: "I, I can come to accompany her more."

“…”

“That’s all.”

Feeling his breathing slightly sinking, I turned to look at him and said, "Please give a clear explanation to your emperor. I don't want to cause any misunderstandings to each other."

"..." He also remained silent for a moment, and then made a smile: "Okay."

|

Although I accompanied Miaoyan to take a walk and digest food, I met Pei Yuanhao and visited for an afternoon. Until someone sent an important letter, he immediately returned to the study to deal with it after reading it. I returned to her room with Miaoyan, who was sweating all over. Seeing that there was a lot of mud and sand on her hair, I simply sent her to take a shower.

She had a lot of fun playing in the bathtub. I was a little dizzy by the steaming steam, so I asked two maids to guard her and walked to the corridor not far outside to sit, watching the sun slowly slanting westward.

At this time, a gust of fragrant wind came. When I turned around, I saw that Chang Qing walked up to me gently.

I hurriedly got up: "Empress."

She smiled and raised her hand and pressed my shoulders. She sat opposite me, looked at the bathroom over there with her squint eyes, and smiled, "Is Miaoyan inside?"

"Well, I've been playing for an afternoon and sweating all over."

"I heard that the emperor has been with you all the time."

"……Um."

I looked at her and stopped talking, as if she had something to say to me. I smiled calmly: "What does the Queen have to say, but it's okay."

She rarely saw me being so honest, so she was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's nothing."

“…”

"I just looked at Miaoyan's happy look, and I felt a little emotional."

“…”

"You come, it's still different."

I smiled and said, "Actually, I never had time to thank the Queen. Miaoyan told me that the empress was protecting her along the way. She was so difficult and dangerous from the capital, but she didn't suffer much."

She smiled and shook her head, and when she looked up at me, her eyes flashed, "But I heard that you have suffered a lot."

“…”

My smile slowly became calm.

Although I don’t want to mention the time I spent in the capital, nor do I want to mention how I escaped from the capital or the palm of that person, I have been here for two days, and more or less, they have heard of some of the wind blowing over there, and they should also know how embarrassed I would have been if it weren’t for the coldness of the road.

Seeing my expression becoming solemn, Chang Qing didn't say anything else, but waved her hand gently, asking the maids around her to retreat. After everyone left, she said: "Actually, I have nothing else to ask, but, you and Liu Qinghan, you two—"

I looked up at her and said, "It's not me and him."

She was stunned.

I smiled faintly: "It's me and him."

Chang Qing couldn't react a little: "What? What does it mean?"

I don’t know if the heat just now hasn’t dissipated or why, but I felt a little hot on my cheeks and ears. I lowered my head and said softly: “He, he said, he will change his temper and make me forget the past. He said, he wants to be with me.”

“…”

"And I agreed."

Chang Qing opened her eyes slightly widened.

She looked at me for a long time, as if she finally understood what I said: "You... have you agreed?"

"Um."

Seeing the smile at the corners of my eyes and eyebrows, she seemed to feel a little emotional, and after a long time she sighed: "It's really rare for two people to fall in love with each other."

I lowered my head and smiled, "At this age, I don't say anything about love between the two. It would be a blessing to be able to stay together peacefully."

"Yes, being able to stay together safely is the greatest blessing." Chang Qing said, with a hint of envy in her eyes, and she said, "Then what are you planning next with him?"

I said, "The big thing has not yet come to an end, and we can't plan too much, but-"

"But what?"

"He has handed over his family business to me. Next, we will go back to Xichuan first."

"oh?!"

Chang Qing opened her eyes wide in shock.

Although she was the daughter of the Grand Tutor and entered the palace early to become the queen, she was very knowledgeable, but she was obviously unheard of when she heard that a man gave all his family business to a woman, and was very surprised.

After a while, she said, "Then he-he listens to you now?"

"Not that, anyone who has the right to listen to whom."

"oh."

"But he is still making the decision on the big things."

Chang Qing fell silent, looked at me with a complicated expression for a while, and said, "He, has he recovered his memory? I see that he looks--"

It was only then that I remembered that there was this big lie that Liu Qinghan serted not only to deceive me, but also to all of them.

So I stood up and said, "Please forgive me for your sins."

“…”

"It's not that he has recovered his memory, but that he has not lost his memory from the beginning."

"What?!"

Chang Qing was completely shocked, and couldn't believe her ears: "He, he has never lost his memory? He remembers everything?"

I nodded.

She gasped.

After a while, he was still a little disbelief and said, "Has he really been pretending from the beginning? Since he saved you from the heavenly prison? Or after the fire...?"

She was too surprised and spoke a little incoherently. I lowered my head and said softly: "He, when he saved me to Jixian Palace and ignited the fire, he was worried that he had burned the ancient books of the teacher and the teacher would not let him go. I was just a joke at that time, saying that I had made Mr. Fu angry, and as long as I pretended to be innocent, the old man would not be able to fight. Who knew that he responded to what I said, from beginning to end, he had never lost his memory, and he kept pretending."

“…”

Chang Qing looked at me in shock.

She didn't say a word for a long time. I think she must have thought of everything that happened over the years. After a long time, she shook her head gently and murmured: "This person is so terrible."

“…”

"An ordinary lie, deceives one person, two people, and cheats for a day or two; a more powerful lie, deceives a group of people, and cheats for a year or two; but he, he deceives everyone, and cheats for a whole five or six years!"

“…”

"And, no one saw through him."

“…”

"It's so scary!"

I heard her say "terrible". Although I knew that the impact of this incident on her had a great blow to her, I was still frightened and said hurriedly: "Please forgive me for your sins. He didn't think so much about it at that time, just to save me. As for his pretending to be amnesia later, he really had no other way to go, so he came up with this worst."

Seeing me with apologies, she sighed, reached out and gently waved me, let me sit down, and said, "I won't mention the past, but I finally know why the emperor was furious that day."

“…”

“Light.”

"Um?"

I looked up at her. Chang Qing hesitated for a while, and then slowly said to me: "I don't want to - it's not about it, but you'd better know everything about him."
