The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

The word "mother" could not alarm the woman on the bed.

Shi Anxia knelt down and walked forward, stretching out her trembling hand, and gently stroked her mother's face, just like her mother had stroked her face when she was a child.

The face had high cheekbones and thin, cold skin.

A Niang closed her eyes and her wrinkles were very deep.

She was lying on her side, curled up, with her hair hanging down in disorder, but her hair was too sparse and still couldn't cover the scar where her ear was cut off.

The scar was twisted and hideous, recording the torture and interrogation that A Niang had suffered.

At that time, my mother must have been determined to die.

At that time, Anxia burst into tears.

She suddenly felt her mother move, and then she made a hissing sound like a frightened little rabbit.

A Niang opened her eyes, her eyes were dim.

A Niang looked at her and she also looked at A Niang.

Neither side spoke, and time seemed to stand still.

"Mother..." Shi Anxia shouted in shock, deafening her mother.

A Niang closed her eyes and her whole body began to tremble.

She kept repeating, "I don't know, I don't know! I don't know, I don't know anything..."

I don't know how long it took, but she changed her murmurs to something soft and gentle, with the tenderness that only a mother can have.

Shi Anxia put her ear close to the ground and heard the words, "Xiao Ye, eat dumplings, happily and happily."

As she read on, A'niang's tears wet the pillow.

Shi Anxia held her bony hand and said, "Mom, your little leaf has finally found you..."

When she saw that A Niang had opened her eyes, she placed her right hand on her chest and pressed her left hand on her right hand, crying, "Put A Niang here with Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye will always remember A Niang. Xiao Ye... won't dare to forget even for a moment... Mother..."

A Niang's tears fell from her gloomy eyes.

She's not crazy, she never was.

It is the human world that is crazy. Those who are crazy are always those who are blinded by greed, have no moral conscience, and regard human life as worthless.

She raised her hands and stretched them forward in disbelief. Was this a dream?

She felt like she was dreaming.

Maybe she was about to die, and before she died she dreamed that her daughter came to see her.

But the next moment, a pair of warm hands held her hands, and she put her little face in her palms, "Mom..."

Thousands of words are reduced to this one word.

The pain that is choking in my heart, the pain that I dare not touch, is all contained in this one word.

Cen Yuan retreated quietly.

He wondered if he had done something wrong.

I should have brought her to see my mother earlier.

Obviously, A Niang is not crazy.

Either she had been pretending to be crazy, or the only remedy was his little girl.

That night, Shi Anxia stayed in A Niang's room.

Just like when I was a child, I sleep with my mother in my arms.

But at that time, she was snuggling in her mother's arms.

Now, it was A-niang who was nestling in her arms.

When she was young, her mother protected her from the wind and rain.

Many years later, she grew up and was able to protect her mother from wind and rain.

That night, the mother and daughter talked a lot.

A Niang often speaks incoherently, but that doesn't stop Shi Anxia from understanding.

A Niang said that one time, she dreamed that her little leaf grew up and became the boss, and everyone had to obey her orders.

She also dreamed that she starved to death, and her little leaf came to look for her, only to find a handful of bones.

She said she was so scared, afraid that her little Ye Zi would cry too sadly.

A Niang kept talking and talking, not daring to fall asleep.

She was afraid that once she closed her eyes, it would still be a dream.

If this was a dream, she hoped it would last forever.

At least in her dream, her little leaf was hugging her again.

Shi Anxia's tears wet the pillow and she was choking with sobs and unable to speak.

When she opened her mouth, the only word she said was "mother", nothing else.

At this moment, she was so grateful to Cen Yuan.

She hugged A Niang tighter and finally found the words to say, "The man who came to save you is my husband. A Niang, do you think he is good?"

She added, "That's your son-in-law."

But Ah Niang was still talking about something else, and I couldn't hear what she said at all, because one of her ears was broken and her hearing was very weak.

Shi Anxia hugged her mother lovingly until dawn.

When she woke up the next day, A'niang had fallen asleep, but she held her like a child and refused to let go.

When Anxia moved, A Niang woke up.

Shi Anxia put her ear close to hers and coaxed her gently, "Mother, please sleep a little longer. I will be back to accompany you soon."

Ah Niang looked at her in horror and suddenly pushed her hard, "Run far away, as long as you leave Guanzhou, go anywhere. Don't come back, do you hear me?"

Shi Anxia leaned over and hugged A Niang tightly, "A Niang, I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay with you. Wait until I kill Ye Qiming and Ye Chongjiang to avenge you."

Ah Niang shook her head vigorously, "No, no, no, stay away from them, they are bad! Don't mess with them! You can't beat them."

Shi Anxia had gradually returned to her usual calm and cold demeanor. "Don't worry, mother. I've grown up. They are no longer my opponents. Killing them is just like crushing an ant."

On that day, Shi Anxia went to the palace to meet the emperor.

She was too lazy to get herself stained with blood, so she ran to Emperor Mingde to complain.

She entered the Ye family at the age of two and became a ghost embryo. She escaped at the age of eight. It had been a difficult journey. Now, A'niang has been tortured beyond recognition. She told Emperor Mingde everything.

She said, "Father, I want the lives of Ye Qiming and Ye Chongjiang."

Emperor Mingde was furious when he heard this, and summoned Ma Chuyi to the court, "Go to Guanzhou immediately to arrest people and bring back all the members of the Ye family for trial!"

Ma Chuyi took the order and left.

It was about Princess Haiyan's childhood experiences, and he felt horrified when he heard it.

He went to meet Cen Yuan, learned about the relevant situation, and set off for Guanzhou with the Dongyu Guard that day.

It was also on this day, when the sun set, that Tang Chujun finally saw his daughter.

Shi Anxia had bruises under her eyes, and Tang Chujun wasn't much better.

The mother and daughter sat in the yard drinking tea, sitting face to face.

After drinking cup after cup of tea, Shi Anxia didn't know where to start.

Tang Chujun was unusually calm and took a breath, "Xia'er, tell me, what happened?"

Shi Anxia raised her eyes and looked at her mother who was still as young and beautiful as a flower. Thinking of her tortured mother, she gradually lowered her head again, "Mother, I still have a mother."

"Mother?" Tang Chujun's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She wondered last night whether it was related to her daughter's disappearance in her early years.

Shi Anxia nodded, and then started talking again without knowing where to start.

Under the setting sun, Cen Yuan strode closer, "Xia Xia, go and accompany A Niang, I will talk to mother."

He pulled open the chair next to An Xia and sat down, frowning.

Tang Chujun looked at the solemn expressions of his daughter and son-in-law in astonishment, and became uneasy for a moment, "What on earth happened?"

Shi Anxia was silent for a moment, looking at Cen Yuan's profile, which was as sharp as a scissors, and was reflected in the red light from the setting sun. It was extremely reassuring, and her courage increased. "Mother, I lived in the Ye family in Guanzhou before I was eight years old."

Tang Chujun's fingers, holding the teacup, turned white, and he asked in a trembling voice, "And then?"

Shi Anxia didn't dare to look into her mother's eyes. The words that came out of her mouth were deafening, "I am a ghost embryo raised by the Ye family!"
