The room was quiet for a while, and Miaoyan's weak voice sounded-
"Mom doesn't want me anymore, so how can I feel heartbroken?"
Chang Qing sighed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Your mother feels so sorry for you. How could she not want you after suffering so much for you?"
"But if she feels sorry for me, why can't she agree to stay with me and my father?"
“…”
"Empress, do you think I'm wrong?"
“…”
Chang Qing was silent for a long time and said, "Miaoyan, you are still a child, it's not wrong for you to think like this." But--"
She hesitated for a long time after saying this, but she didn't continue to say it. She just sighed and said, "Miaoyan, be obedient, don't mess around like this anymore. When you left Beijing, you saw that so many people couldn't eat, but it's not good for you now. You should eat something, otherwise your body will get hungry. You see, you are already a little hot now, and if you continue like this, you will really get sick."
"I don't want it..."
Her voice was already crying, and she said aggrievedly: "I don't want to eat."
I gently pushed open the door and saw her leaning against the head of the bed. Although she had only disappeared for a night, I felt that she had lost her form and leaned there softly like an empty sack. Her face was pale, and even her bright big eyes lost their spirit.
I felt anxious and immediately wanted to reach out and push the door.
At this moment, a hand stretched out from behind me and grabbed my wrist.
Looking back, it was Pei Yuanhao again. I was just looking inside, but I didn't notice when he came and stood behind me for how long, but at this time he grabbed my wrist and dragged me away from the yard, and walked to the small pavilion by the lake a distance away before letting go.
I was so anxious that I wanted to see Miaoyan, but was dragged away by him. I was also anxious and didn't even care about etiquette: "What are you doing?!"
He looked down at me: "You want to see her?"
"Can't I see her?"
"Of course, but the premise is that you don't stimulate my daughter anymore."
"That's my daughter too!"
"But you are like this now, do you treat her as your daughter?"
He was stern, and his eyes were staring at me like a pair of hawkish eyes, as if he had to stretch out his claws. I was asked by him and took a deep breath before saying, "Doing what I want is different from treating her as a daughter. She was born to me and I found it back. Your Majesty, you can't deprive me of my identity as a mother by one thing or one sentence!"
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
Maybe I didn't expect that I would be so eloquent. He lowered his face and said, "Yan Qingying, are you too presumptuous?!"
“…”
"Do you think I can't take it away?"
“…”
"But I tell you that it's just a word to deprive you of your identity as a mother!"
His words were like a stone, pressing heavily on my heart.
I suddenly woke up - I have indeed left him for too long and was too free these days. I am really about to forget that he is the emperor, and in his world, he can control everything. There are more than one or two concubines in the harem who have been deprived of their mother's power? There are more than one or two who don't know who their biological mother is?
Even the prince of the dynasty, Nian Shen, called him the queen of mother for more than ten years, but I know better than anyone else that his biological mother had already died on the day of giving birth to him.
However, as long as Pei Yuanhao doesn't let him go, no one dares to tell him the truth.
I stood there, looking at him in panic and helplessly, and gasping slightly because of the anger just now. However, looking at my pale look, his tone slowly eased and said, "You know, I don't want to treat you like this."
“…”
"I just want to discuss with you a better way to solve this problem."
“…”
"Miaoyan is my daughter, and I feel more sorry for her than anyone else."
Too many things and too many emotions were pressing on my heart. I felt difficult to breathe. I only looked at him. After a long time, I slowly said: "Then you---Your Majesty, do you think there is any way to solve this problem?"
His eyes were deep and a little glowed at me: "Don't you know?"
“…”
It seems that he is here to force me.
What Miaoyan wants is that the family of three is together, and I want me to return to her and even more to Pei Yuanhao.
Maybe, I can give my life for her, but this alone cannot.
I felt my chest was so heavy, but I took a deep breath and straightened my back, gritted my teeth and said, "Your Majesty, what am I doing? I have said everything I should have said and what I shouldn't have said before leaving the capital."
“…”
"Why did your majesty use your wonderful words to force me?"
"Forcing you? Do you think I'm forcing you?"
"Isn't it?"
"What about you? Are you also forcing Miaoyan?"
“…”
I looked at him and wanted to laugh for a moment - I was forcing Miaoyan? Miaoyan had not been in water all day, and now she was even hungry and weak, in order to make me agree to her request, but in his eyes, I was forced to this child?
I shook my head and smiled bitterly, "If your Majesty wants to say this, then I can't do anything."
“…”
"If possible, I actually hope that the sick one would be me when I was on a hunger strike."
“…”
"It's a pity that I can't replace her."
He said in a deep voice: "But you can save her!"
“…”
My whole body shivered slightly, and felt his eyes burning like fire, as if he was about to burn a hole in my body. I turned my head to avoid his gaze and said, "Does your Majesty still want me to agree to her request?"
“…”
"Do I have to agree?"
He felt my trembling, but his breath was not so tense. After a long silence, he slowed down and said slowly: "Qingying, we are not young anymore, we only have this daughter. She is the Princess Miaoyan whom I lost and gained. I owe her love for so many years. No matter what she wants, I want to hold it to her."
“…”
"I can't get it only."
I smiled bitterly and slowly turned my head to look at him: "Are I pushing her? Or are you pushing me?"
He said, "If I don't force you, would you want me to lose my daughter?"
“…”
At this moment, I just felt that my heart was about to be broken.
