Empress Chu

"Father." She was a little proud, "Guess what I brought back?"

Chu Ling said: "Did the lady patrolling the city catch any spies?"

"No." Chu Zhao smiled, and spread out the hand still clasped in front of him, revealing a little rabbit like white snow, "I picked up a rabbit in the snow."

"Ah Zhao is amazing." Chu Yu said, "I can catch a rabbit in a snowy night—did Ah Jiu catch it?"

"Not Ah Jiu!"

"Well, he discovered it first, but I caught it myself."

The female voice in the inner room was clear and crisp. Chu Ling lay on the bed and listened with a smile, and then felt the fluffy hands.

"Father, look, the bunny looks like a snow ball." Chu Zhao said.

Chu Ling said: "Rabbits can bite people, don't forget, you were bitten when you were a child and cried for three days."

Chu Zhao laughed: "Is there? I don't even remember."

"Has it been too long?" Chu Ling asked with a smile, "Have you forgotten everything about your childhood?"

That's right, Chu Zhao sat on the side of the bed and thought, for her who lived a new life, her childhood was really far away.

"Father, tell me about my childhood," she said.

Chu Ling gently stroked the snow rabbit with one hand, and said softly: "You were not ordinary when you were a child. When you were born, the room was filled with red lights, and a passing fortune teller immediately changed his face, and pointed to say that the sky is auspicious——"

Chu Zhao hugged his stomach with a smile.

"Father—have you gone to the street to eavesdrop on lectures in teahouses again?"

Standing in the outer room, Ah Le heard the father and daughter talking and laughing inside, and he also smiled, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and retreated gently.

As the night darkened, the chatter and laughter in the room gradually stopped.

Chu Zhao saw that the hand stroking the snow rabbit remained motionless, and her face was as white as the snow rabbit. He slowly stretched out his hand to catch Chu Ling's pulse, and heaved a sigh of relief the next moment, and sat down on the ground beside the bed again.

Fortunately, my father is still alive.

Although, the doctor said that he would die at any time.

Chu Zhao held the snow rabbit in his arms, leaned against the bed, buried his head in his knees, and wet his dress with tears.

But, I'm still very happy, this time, she was able to die with her father.

……

……

In the middle of the night, the cold wind howled unscrupulously. When Xie Yan came back to the residence, she was staggered by the blowing.

With such a strong wind, he stopped and looked at the government office, wondering if Chu Zhao could sleep?

The next moment he turned his feet and looked in one direction.

"Who is it?" He said coldly, "It's so powerful that you can even enter the city, what are you hiding?"

The cold wind whizzed and rolled a figure, who came out from the corner of the room.

"Master Ah Jiu." The female voice was soft, "It's me."

Xie Yan came, with a faint smile: "Aunt Ding, what's the matter? You don't know this place well? I can't find where Uncle Ding is here?"

Mu Mianhong walked a few more steps, her thin body swaying in the night, but the strong wind could not blow her away.

"Ah Jiu." She didn't answer, and didn't say anything else, just said, "I want to see General Chu."

Xie Yanlai let out a laugh: "I guessed it right. Chu Zhao, a fool, refuses to guess your intentions, but I knew at a glance that you came for General Chu."

His hands were on his waist.

"Don't move your weapon."

The female voice said, with a smile in her voice, and, kindness?

Xie Yanlai sneered, this kind of trick is not bad against a stupid bandit like Ding Dahui, what's the use in front of him, he collapsed in front of his eyes without changing his face, and a few words can do anything against him?

"I am Ah Zhao's mother."

The cold wind suddenly poured into his mouth, Xie Yanlai's sneer turned into a cough, he withdrew his hand from his waist and pressed his mouth, suppressing the cough.

What a hell of a night!

……

……

"Aren't you dead?"

Xie Yanlai asked in a hoarse voice, staring at the woman in front of her.

The woman smiled and asked, "Azhao told you about me?"

Even though it was late at night, Xie Yanlai could also sense the familiar sight - just like that Zhong Changrong, although Zhong Changrong was staring, this woman was smiling.

Xie Yanlai snorted: "It's up to her to say that, General Chu said it more than ten years ago, and everyone in the world doesn't know."

The woman on the opposite side was silent for a moment, and nodded in the night: "Yes, you are right."

Dejected?Xie Yanlai's face is numb, any sad stories in your past have nothing to do with him.

"Xiaoman is mine." The woman didn't feel sad, and quickly raised her head, "Both General Chu and Zhong Changrong know me, Zhong Changrong and General Chu also know Xiaoman, Ajiu, you don't question my identity, I also Stop talking about wasting time."

Xie Yanlai looked at her coldly, neither admitting nor denying, just said: "I don't care about who you are, but if you come to me and want to tell Chu Zhao's identity through me, you are looking for the wrong person. First of all, Chu Zhao and I I don’t know her well, her personal affairs have nothing to do with me, and I won’t meddle in them—and besides, you haven’t dared to say who you are after being with Chu Zhao for so long, and General Chu hasn’t said that you are still alive for so many years. How troublesome it is, any fool knows."

The woman's voice was sad: "Azhaoduo is pitiful, if she knows that her mother is still alive, don't you think she will be very happy?" She took another step forward, and the strong wind swept away the night, and they could see each other's blurred faces.

This Aunt Ding no longer covered her face, and her face was as bright as the moon in the night.

Her eyes are as gentle as moonlight.

"Son, do you have a mother?"

The moonlight was gentle, but Xie Yanlai, who was dressed in black, was like an iceberg, and said coldly: "Chu Zhao was raised by General Chu, and he raised her very well. Chu Zhao hasn't had a mother for more than ten years, and there is no need to have a mother in the future." , As for whether I have a mother, it has nothing to do with whether she has a mother—Aunt Ding."

He also took a step forward, pulled out his waist knife, and pointed the tip at Mu Mianhong.

"Leave quickly, don't let me see you again, otherwise, I will kill you."

The woman was not frightened, and the sadness on her face dissipated. She smiled softly and whispered: "Good boy."

What's wrong!Xie Yanlai couldn't bear it any longer, and wanted to swing the knife——

The woman curtsies.

"Ah Jiu, I didn't want Ah Zhao to recognize me. I came to you to ask General Chu if I could see him."

"I know, his time is up, I want to meet again."

"Also, if General Chu is willing to see me, please take Azhao away and don't let her find out."

"Everyone around him hates me and guards against me. If I show up, there will be trouble. Ah Zhao is always by the general's side. I'm afraid she will find out."

"So I can only ask you, an outsider who doesn't know anything, to come and ask for me."

"Mumianhong, thank you for your kindness."

Mu Mianhong, Xie Yanlai was taken aback, this name is so familiar - he was a postman before, and he was going to deliver letters to Bianjun. He made very thorough preparations, researched and became familiar with every post station on the way, and the customs and customs of Bianjun.

The name kapok red is among them.

Bandit.

Big bandit.

Back then, it was still a big cottage that was wiped out by Chu Ling alone——

The rumors of the year, the dispute between Chu Ling and the emperor, the truth that has been abandoned for more than ten years——

In a trance, he seemed to understand everything, but he didn't understand, Xie Yanlai shook his head, what happened more than ten years ago had anything to do with him!

He shook his head and stood up straight, also put away the knife.

"If he doesn't see you, you will disappear immediately and never appear again." Xie Yan said.

This is the promise, and Mu Mianhong hastily bowed deeply again: "Thank you very much, young master."

Xie Yanlai passed her, stopped again, turned her head and said coldly: "Also, Chu Zhao is not a poor child, she lacks everything, has the love of her parents, you don't have to feel sorry for yourself, and you don't have to touch yourself."

After saying that, he strode away and disappeared into the night wind.

Xiaoman came out from the side and snorted: "Auntie, this kid is really fierce. Hearing the appearance of someone else's lost mother, what a happy event it is for mother and daughter to reunite. What kind of attitude does he have? He still threatens to die."

Mu Mianhong looked at the figure receding into the night, and said softly, "He is fierce, to protect Ah Zhao."

When the child heard her identity, his first thought was to be on guard, he would not allow himself to bring harm to Ah Zhao.

Chapter 66 Meet

Chu Zhao slammed his head against the edge of the bed and woke up.

The little rabbit in her arms ran away a long time ago and huddled under the bed. Frightened by her words, she jumped up and burrowed into the crack of the bed.

Chu Zhao came back to his senses, and hurriedly knelt and sat up to look at the bed. Chu Ling slept soundlessly——

She grabbed her father's hand and felt for the pulse, then she slid and knelt down on the ground with a sigh of relief, still—

The room was dim, and the candles flickered outside.

"Father." Chu Zhao called softly, shaking Chu Ling's arm.

Although he said that the patient needs to rest more, when the doctor said this, Chu Ling smiled and said that he was about to rest forever, so why not spend more time with everyone while he was still alive.

"So, Ah Zhao, if I fall asleep, you remember to wake me up." He reminded.

Until I can't wake up.

Following Chu Zhao's shaking, Chu Ling opened his eyes. Although he couldn't see anything, he immediately replied, "Azhao, did I fall asleep again?"

Chu Zhao nodded, let himself smile and said, "Yes, Dad, things about my childhood were so boring, you told me and you to fall asleep."

Chu Ling was thoughtful: "It turns out that I could fall asleep easily when you were young. It's not because I tell good stories, but because my stories are boring."

Chu Zhao laughed.

Hearing the father and daughter talking and laughing in the inner room, Ale came in from the outside: "General, miss, you are awake, do you want to eat?"

While speaking, she gestured to Chu Zhao.

"Miss, according to your order, chicken soup is stewed in the kitchen."

Chu Zhao said oh, and first asked Chu Ling if he wanted to eat.

"Eat." Chu Ling said, "Since I am still alive, I must eat."

Chu Zhao smiled and said hello, "Father, I'll get it myself."

After finishing speaking, he dragged Ale to the outside room.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Ah Le said: "Ah Jiu came to you and said that you stole his rabbit and asked you to return it to him."

Chu Zhao laughed: "What nonsense, it's obviously mine——I'll find him!"

Footsteps go away.

Chu Ling lay on the bed, couldn't help smiling, he was blind, his body was weak, but his hearing was exceptionally good, he could even hear soldiers and horses patrolling past outside the courtyard, and bugs crawling over the wall in the corner of the room——

People slid in from outside the door like swallows, their steps were very light, and they could imagine their agility.

Chu Ling thought about the side he had seen before, the chaos in the capital, this kid also experienced a tempering, his breath should be different.

The breath is like a sword with cold air, cruising on the body.

"Ah Jiu, what are you looking at?" Chu Ling asked.

The person standing by the bed was taken aback and took a step back.

"My appearance is different from before, did it scare you?" Chu Ling asked.

Xie Yanlai looked at the general on the bed, really wanted to see him for the first time, compared with the mighty at that time, even compared with what he saw a few days ago, the general now is a little afraid to recognize him.

Chu Ling's whole body withered.

"No," he said.
