How much pain a person has to endure in his life will appear so indifferent when facing all the huge changes.

But even if she is indifferent, it doesn't mean she won't feel pain.

Although she didn't say anything, I could feel the pain, perhaps even deeper than the pain I had experienced.

But she was already in pain.

I hugged her tightly. For some reason, I felt that she was so pale that she was almost unreal, as if she would disappear at any time. Maybe the next moment, she would disappear in front of my eyes like a wisp of clouds and smoke. This fear made me hug her thin body even harder, hoping to melt myself and her together.

And she felt my fear from my hands that were almost spasm, and lowered her head and let out a chuckle from her snow-white hair.

"Are you so old, can you still be unable to live without your mother?"

"Mom, I don't want to leave you again."

“…”

"I finally found you, I will never leave my mother again in my life!"

She was quiet for a while, without saying anything, just raised her hand and gently stroked my hair. Then, I felt her look up at Pei Yuanhao behind me.

The mother's tone slowly became calmer again, and she said, "I only know that you are the emperor and I know nothing about you, but I have some words that I want to explain to you."

Pei Yuanhao, who had never spoken again, took a step forward at this time, and then another step, the slightly trembling light in his hand illuminated the scattered white hair in front of his mother, which was particularly desolate.

He said, "Do you have any instructions?"

The mother said, "Emperor, after seeing me, after this incident, you should understand very well that your throne was not given by heaven, but was done by yourself."

“…”

"If you do not do well, people will overthrow you."

“…”

"If there is an opportunity, anyone can come to your position and replace it."

“…”

"Even Mu Zhi—" When she said this, her throat choked again, took a deep breath, and said, "If I were willing to help him, if he was willing to believe me, the world is not like this now."

“…”

Pei Yuanhao had no anger at these words at all, but listened very calmly. At this time, he suddenly said, "Then why didn't you help him?"

The mother looked at him lightly: "Didn't Pei Ji tell you about this reason?"

There was a bit of coldness in this sentence, and even the lights in Pei Yuanhao's hand stumbled on me. I subconsciously raised my head and saw a lot of expressions flashing across Pei Yuanhao's face at this moment. I was shocked and shocked, as if there was still a trace of indescribable solemnity.

He was silent for a long time and suddenly bowed deeply to his mother.

I murmured, "Mother, you--"

However, neither of them seemed to hear me. In this conversation, it seemed that only the two of them existed, and I had no way to insert it.

When he finished his greeting, his mother said again: "I have something to tell you."

"Please say it."

"No matter who you are, no matter what happens in the future, you should treat Nishikawa's people well."

"yes."

"And my daughter."

Pei Yuanhao's throat seemed to be stuttering, and then he said hoarsely: "Yes."

I hurriedly said, "Mother, I--"

She raised her hand, stopped me from continuing with a simple gesture, and took a deep breath, as if she was accumulating strength, and then said, "After so many years, a lot of things must have happened to you, but my mother cannot ask about it one by one, let alone do anything for you."

These few understatement of her words made my heart sink. I just felt like I was about to suffocate, and subconsciously grabbed her harder: "Mom, don't say these things, I don't want you to do anything for me, I, I just want you to come back!"

“…”

"So many years have passed, and you are in this dark place. Now it's different. You have woken up and I have found you. I can save you. We can be together. Mom, I am living a good life now. There is a person who treats me very well and will definitely be filial to you. Let's go together - and my daughter, she is twelve years old. She is very sensible and well-behaved, and better than me! When I find her back, she will definitely be happy to see you!"

My mother looked at me quietly, listening to me hurriedly, and even couldn't wait to say these words. She was silent for a while, and then said, "Okay, you have a daughter, and there are people around you who are kind to you."

“…”

"If you say this, mom will feel more at ease."

"Mother!"

She raised her hand gently. I clearly felt that she was not strong enough, and she didn't even have much strength at all, but she just moved her hands, holding her tightly, and then pushed me away. I tried my best to grab her. At this time, I staggered for a moment, and Pei Yuanhao behind her immediately reached out to support my shoulders.

My mother looked at me and said softly: "Don't do this."

“…”

"Young, you have grown up, even if you don't care for others, you should be strong for yourself. Haven't you been by your side for the past few years?

I shook my head, and tears fell again.

I had already heard what she meant from her words, but I couldn't accept it. I even reached out to grab the corner of her clothes and grabbed it hard: "Mother..."

I insisted that it was because I had no way out, but if I had to choose, I still wanted to stay by your side, even if I would be blamed all the time, even if everything I imagined could not be done, it didn't matter. I wanted to be the carefree girl, the girl who could rely on her mother and feel extremely happy.

I just want to be her back!

My mother seemed to have seen my thoughts from my spasm fingers, from the depths of my throat, and from the silent tears. She seemed to chuckled and said, "Don't be willful."

"Maybe, you can choose to have another life and go another way, but I-I won't make other choices."

“…”

"Today, I can't choose."

She paused for a moment, as if she had finally decided something, slowly raised her head, and the scattered white hair was blown away by a gentle breath, revealing her face.

At this moment, I was almost suffocated.

Pei Yuanhao behind him also let out a low cry in surprise.

The pale and almost transparent face I just saw was obviously almost the same as when I left, and she had not changed at all during the years of meditation, but in just a short while, many wrinkles had been added to her face.

Time quickly put aging steps on the corners of eyes, lips, and even forehead.

My voice was trembling: "Mother..."

I couldn't believe my eyes. She had become so old in this short time.

"Why, why is this happening?"

I shook my head and said blankly: "Why is this happening? Will people not change after entering meditation? Mom, why do you--"

Speaking of this, I suddenly stopped.

I remember that all those who enter meditation will go deep into the deepest part of their spiritual realm. At that time, life is almost static, but it is also the most fragile time. Unless you wake up, any other external intrusion will cause great harm to those who enter meditation.

Even, not just spiritual.

I trembled and said, "It's us... it's us just now, and the last time, you're also-"

She smiled at me, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes almost became deeper at this moment, but her eyes were still young and even full of vitality.

She said softly: "Don't be sad."

“…”

"Light, all this is something that my mother has prepared for."

“…”

"For so many years, my mother has been unable to escape from the world because she is not involved in the outside world. She is afraid that she will be soft-hearted for the moment and will be wasted all her efforts. She is also for the sake of today, she will make a break."

I didn't even want to know what she was going to do, but just grabbed her clothes and shook her head desperately.

No, no—!

But my mother was still so calm, as if she was just talking about the most common thing.

She said, "Actually, my mother has thought about what you said before."

“…”

"Destroy this dam, destroy these things."

“…”

"My mother didn't do that at that time. First, she was because she had too many concerns, and second, if she destroyed them, the situation in the world would be even more uncontrollable."

“…”

"The most important thing is maybe - I can't bear to leave."

“…”

"I can't bear to give up too many things, I can't bear to give up some people."

“…”

"But today, you are here, mom knows that the time has come."

"No, no--!"

I shook my head, tears fell, Pei Yuanhao held me with one hand, and at this time he had a bit of a quarrel in his throat: "You——"

My mother looked up and stretched out a hand to him: "Give it to me."

Pei Yuanhao hesitated for a moment, and his mother said lightly: "You should know that my idea is certain, no one can stop it. You don't have to be nostalgic for these things here."

“…”

Pei Yuanhao was silent for a long time, but in the end he still did not refuse. He handed the oil lamp in his hand to her with a complicated expression. When his mother took it, the tung oil inside had just been overturned by us. At this moment, there was only one last bit left. The candlelight was swaying and was almost extinguished.

My mother looked at the faint light for a while, then looked down at me.

Although the light slowly dimmed, a faint light suddenly emanated from her body, as if it was slowly seeping out from the deepest part of her body. At this moment, even her eyes were glowing. When she looked at me, infinite tenderness surrounded me like the spring breeze.
