The two supported each other and walked forward with difficulty. After an unknown amount of time, they finally walked out of the dense crowd and arrived at a small alley with fewer people.

Ning Huarong wept with joy, and hugged Chu Yaoguang tightly: "I'm scared to death, sweet girl, are you okay?"

Chu Yaoguang hugged Ning Huarong back, feeling like he would survive a catastrophe: "I'm fine."

The two hugged each other, and both of them burst out with heartfelt joy.

But this joy only lasted for a short period of time, because Ning Huarong asked, "Where is His Majesty the Emperor?"

Chu Yaoguang said vaguely, "She is being protected by hidden guards."

After saying this, Chu Yaoguang's expression froze.

She knows she made a mistake.

She actually abandoned the emperor when the danger came.

Even if she thinks she has done nothing wrong, in the hearts of the emperor and most people in this world, putting the emperor in danger is a mistake.

If she was just a courtier, she should kneel in front of Chu Yi and plead guilty now, and then be thrown into prison.

Chu Yaoguang panicked for a moment, then calmed down quickly, and did not show any abnormality in Ning Huarong: "It seems that I can't play anymore, mother, you go back to the inn first, I'm going back to the palace too, let's meet again some other day about."

Ning Huarong asked: "Good girl, are you really alright?"

Chu Yaoguang smiled and turned around: "What can I do, look, I'm safe and sound."

"Then you have to go back early." Ning Huarong gave her a worried look and left.

When Ning Huarong's figure disappeared, Chu Yaoguang relaxed, his knees softened, and he almost knelt down.

Chu Yi wouldn't beat her to death in a fit of anger, would he? !

When she left, she seemed to faintly hear Chu Yi calling her.

Chu Yaoguang leaned on the wall, calmed down, and silently pondered whether to return to the original way to find Chu Yi or go directly to the palace?

Let's go back the same way, at least appear more sincere.

Walking out of the dark alley, Chu Yaoguang suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why is there no one around?

As soon as he looked up, he saw a figure standing in front of him.

Chu Yi stood with his hands behind his back, with a gloomy expression, and his eyes were looking directly at Chu Yaoguang, which was so cold that it was chilling.

Behind her, there were four women in gray clothes, like shadows.

Chu Yaoguang's knees were really soft.

Her spine was not high, and she knelt down with a plop: "My son is guilty, please forgive me."

"What did you do?" Chu Yi walked over slowly, looking down at this unusually obedient daughter.

It can't be related to Ning Huarong.

She has experienced such a thing once, and she has learned from the past.

Yi Chuyi looked down on Ning Huarong, and her own daughter abandoned her and turned to save Ning Huarong. In a fit of rage, she might really want to kill Ning Huarong to vent her anger.

But the reason is really hard to argue.

Chu Yaoguang trembled for a moment, and tried his best to calmly say: "My son is thinking about checking the source of the fire, in order to stabilize the situation and solve this disaster."

She wasn't exactly lying, she did have the idea, but it was quickly dismissed.

"There is not a short distance between here and the place where the water flows." Chu Yi said lightly.

Chu Yaoguang's expression remained unchanged: "For those who were pushed over, I feel ashamed that my son has more heart than strength."

"Still lying," Chu Yi threw something on the ground, and sneered, "Lie to me, it's the first time I know you have such guts to leave me to see your adoptive mother, are you so hot-mouthed? Or Said that you are afraid that I will chop off the head of your adoptive mother?!"

Chu Yaoguang's heart suddenly became cold.

Chu Yi knew.

It shouldn't be, Ning Huarong has already left, how could Chu Yi know?

"Accordingly, you are not an idiot, why did you make this decision?" Chu Yi said, "It's because in your heart, your adoptive mother is more important than my biological mother, isn't it?"

Yes.

Chu Yaoguang really wanted to say this word in a broken jar.

When she came to this world, the most important things in her heart were Lu Xingyun and Ning Huarong. They treated her with sincerity, and she would naturally repay her with sincerity.

There may be Mei Zhi, Zhu Jun, Qian Xunfang, Shu Ning Jun and others in the lower class, and there is no Chu Yi.

Chu Yi is very important, but not the kind of sincerity, but the awe-inspiring boss, the terrible butcher knife, who may have had a little warmth, but was also ground to pieces by the torture in his memory.

But she couldn't say the word.

If she really told the truth, it would be tantamount to gambling with her and Ning Huarong's lives.

See, this is the reason why she doesn't regard Chu Yi as an important person, because they don't even have the most basic trust.

What lies between them is not only those memories, but also the huge difference in identities and the condescension from Chu Yi himself.

"No," Chu Yaoguang shook his head, "She is alone, and the Queen Mother has hidden guards. The situation was complicated at the time, and I was really worried about her. She is not more important than the Queen Mother in my heart."

"She has been taking care of my son for more than ten years and has done her best. If my son doesn't care about her at all, how is it different from an animal?"

Chu Yi said: "What if I don't have hidden guards?"

Do you, an emperor, think that your life is too long when you go out without a hidden guard?

I really don't understand why Chu Yi insists on fussing over these invisible matters.

Chu Yaoguang immediately said: "If there are no hidden guards, the ministers will naturally protect the Queen Mother."

Chu Yi smiled lightly.

Just when Chu Yaoguang thought she was finally going to let him go, Chu Yi suddenly squatted down and looked straight into Chu Yaoguang's eyes, which were calm and deep, as if he could see through everything: "Are you lying again?"

Chu Yaoguang seemed to have her mouth and nose seized all of a sudden, and it was difficult to breathe. She tried her best to calm down, and said with a forced smile: "How could it be, how dare I deceive the Queen again."

Chu Yi said: "Then I will do something to Ning Huarong, my good girl will not have any objections."

Ning Huarong... good girl...

Chu Yi knew Ning Huarong, and even knew their names.

I was forced to give up the appointment with Ning Huarong and accompany Chu Yi to spend the Lantern Festival in a micro-service, because Chu Yi knew that he and Ning Huarong had met, did he do it on purpose?

Chu Yaoguang didn't understand why Chu Yi competed with Ning Huarong for the chance to get along.

You don't always care about yourself.

It’s ridiculous.

Chu Yaoguang shook his head: "Why did you do this to my son's adoptive mother? She didn't do anything wrong."

"Because you chose her." Chu Yi said calmly.

"Otherwise," at this juncture, Chu Yaoguang smiled instead, "I don't choose to love and protect me and treat my adoptive mother sincerely, who else should I choose?"

"My heart, can't I make the decision myself?"

Chu Yi said coldly: "I am your biological mother."

"So what." Chu Yaoguang said without hesitation.

"Chu Yaoguang—" Chu Yi raised his hand, and when he met Chu Yaoguang's reddish eyes, he trembled again and put it down.

She actually had a shadow of herself in her heart.

Knowing this, Chu Yaoguang should have cried bitterly, begged for mercy, and tried his best to win the chance for her and Ning Huarong to survive.

But Chu Yao just didn't move, and his expression was a bit tired.

"You should know that I want to choose you as my successor," Chu Yi said.

Chu Yaoguang raised his eyes in surprise, but only saw Chu Yi's leaving back, followed by the four hidden guards.It looks like it should be extraordinary, but under the moonlight and the lights, the back actually looks a bit bleak.

Chu Yaoguang tilted his head, and saw something out of the corner of his eye.

It was a turning heron lantern, which Chu Yi smashed to the ground when he was furious just now.

She didn't know where her own lamp was crowded, and she didn't expect that the lamp in Chu Yi's hand was preserved in such a chaotic situation.

Chu Yaoguang raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky.

No matter how well preserved it was, it fell to the ground.
