"Your Majesty, the Ai family came here this time to tell you that Mingxuan, the Taishi of the Liang Kingdom, has been imprisoned in my palace..."

As soon as Queen Mother Xiao Lingluo's words came out, Nangong Hefeng's face turned from green to white, then from white to black, and finally returned to its normal color.

"Mother, why?"

Nangong Hefeng's expression was a little painful. Xiao Lingluo's move indirectly proved the rumors in the imperial capital and directly confirmed his inner guess.

"Because it was he who broke our oath first, and it was he who...ruined my life..."

Xiao Lingluo looked blankly at the sky outside the window, and slowly told Nangong Hefeng about the past.

After a long time, Nangong Hefeng raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Xiao Lingluo's eyes, with distress in his eyes.

"Mother..."

"It's all a matter of the previous generation, but it's the mother's fault that it makes you so embarrassed now. For so many years, the mother has been strict with you and even done so many vicious things to prepare for this moment. Mother I'm afraid that when the matter is revealed, we, mother and son, will not be able to protect ourselves..."

Xiao Lingluo's face showed a rare look of kindness.

"But now it seems... the Ai family still failed to protect you and prevent you from this chaos. The Ai family still underestimated Nangong Xu..."

"Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans. The son misunderstood the mother..."

Nangong Hefeng looked at his mother with an apologetic look. Upon closer inspection, he saw that his mother's temples already had some white hair.

"Mother, my son knows that everything you do is for your son's good, but mother, have you ever thought about whether all the things you plan for your son...are what your son wants?"

"...?"

Xiao Lingluo frowned slightly.

"Mother, my son has grown up in this deep palace since he was a child. He has seen all the ups and downs of the Wang family. His biggest wish in this life is to find a lover, give birth to a son and a half, and then live the rest of his life in peace. …”

"But the Queen destroyed the person you loved the most... right? In your heart, you have always resented the Queen!"

Xiao Lingluo smiled bitterly.

"Mother, my son, Chen, and Qingzhu grew up together. My son never thought of being separated from her. If Mrs. Sun hadn't performed acupuncture on me, which caused me to lose part of my memory, my son would never have survived in this world. of."

Nangong Hefeng paused and then continued.

"Mother, my son believes that when you left me behind, it was not just for today's revenge. There must be a trace of reluctance in it, right? Queen, you can give birth to sons because of reluctance, why can't you? Because of her reluctance to leave, she left a sliver of hope for Qingzhu’s survival... Queen Mother..."

Nangong Hefeng's eyes were blood red, and there was an obvious hint of despair in his choked voice.

Xuan Qingzhu is the biggest pain in Nangong and Feng's life. The relationship between the two of them since childhood does not need to be judged by others. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

The two promised each other for life and never left each other, which was once a legend in the imperial capital. However, Nangong Hefeng married Queen Sun shortly after he ascended the throne, and Xuan Qingzhu suddenly disappeared from the public's view. The conclusion is just missing.

Over the past few years, Nangong Hefeng has lived in a hazy state. Occasionally, he would feel an empty corner in his heart, but he could never remember the reason.

It wasn't until he fainted that day that he vaguely remembered what happened that year. Then Queen Sun took out the silver needle that had been suppressing him, and he suddenly realized it.

"It's not that the Queen Mother is cruel, but that the Queen Mother understands that if you want to live well in this palace, you can't just poison people, but you should also poison your heart..."

Xiao Lingluo stood up and left, with frivolity in his steps and loneliness in his back.

"Early tomorrow morning, the emperor will send someone to Kangning Palace to pick him up..."

"Mother... I don't understand... what is a poisonous heart..."

Nangong Hefeng sat slumped on the couch and muttered to himself...

……

The next day.

Nangong Hefeng, who had just had breakfast, received news that the Crown Prince of Liang, Taishi Changfeng, had arrived at the palace gate.

"Pass it in and let him and Gu go get the person out."

"Yes."

Li Xi waved the fly whisk in his hand, and the little eunuch waiting at the door ran all the way to deliver the message.

"Your Majesty, do you need to summon the imperial physician..."

"Forget it, although the queen mother has hatred in her heart, Taishi Mingxuan is the emperor of a country after all, and I believe that the queen mother will not do anything excessive."

But when Nangong Hefeng and Taishi Changfeng saw Taishi Mingxuan himself in Kangning Palace, they were shocked.

Taishi Mingxuan, who was originally handsome and elegant, now has a yellowish complexion and a thin figure. His lake-blue eyes have also lost their former sparkle and look cloudy and dim.

When Taishi Mingxuan saw his son, he staggered and fell as soon as he took two steps. Fortunately, Taishi Changfeng was quick and caught him first, otherwise he would not have known what kind of fall he would have suffered.

"Father Wang...Father Wang, how are you?"

Taishi Changfeng looked anxiously at Taishi Mingxuan in his arms.

"It's okay, my son doesn't have to worry."

Taishi Mingxuan tried hard to raise the corners of his mouth and smile, but his body was weak, and even such a simple movement was very difficult for him.

"Your Majesty, why is my royal father in Kangning Palace, and why is it like this... Isn't it difficult for the King to give Chang Feng an explanation!?"

Taishi Changfeng looked at Queen Mother Xiao Lingluo fiercely.

"Queen mother...this..."

Nangong Hefeng didn't expect that in just a few days, his mother would torture someone like this.

"What are you looking at the Ai family for? Emperor Liang is a dignified man and has a lot of skills. If he wants to resist, the small Kangning Palace of the Ai family will not be able to bear it."

Xiao Lingluo's meaning was obvious, and the people present were all smart people, among whom Guan Qiao knew it all.

"Even if the royal father volunteered, it seems unjustifiable for you to torture someone to this point, right?!"

Ever since Taishi Changfeng could remember, he had never seen his father in such a mess, and the anger in his heart was like a beast about to break out of the cage.

"Chang Feng...father is tired...let's...go back..."

Taishi Mingxuan saw Taishi Changfeng's emotions in his eyes and patted his son's arm gently.

"Now everything that should be paid has been repaid. In the remaining time, my father wants to enjoy life... After we go back, we will go to see your mother together. I also want to accompany her... She has been alone for so many years. People...how lonely they must be..."

"Okay, my son will take you back now... Your Majesty, Chang Feng will definitely get back this debt today!"

The latter sentence was naturally meant for Nangong Hefeng.

After Taishi Changfeng finished speaking, he bent down to pick up his father and turned to leave.

"Mother, why are you doing this..."
