Empress’ Conquest - C306 Unknown origin
“Thank you …” Fortunately, I came back in time. Otherwise, if I can’t catch up with YueRong’s production, it will be a regret for me for the rest of my life… Ming Xuan … “Actually …” When she hadn’t seen Yu Yao, Yin Yuerong had hesitated. But now, especially after Leng Yuyao had given birth to the little princess, she finally made a decision!
“I understand …” When I saw your eagerness, I knew that your heart still wouldn’t let go of your daughter … I’m not that selfish, and I know there are things I can’t do… Don’t worry… Tomorrow… “Then I’ll leave …” Xia Hou Ming’s hand clenched into a fist as his eyes flashed with sorrow, and it vanished without a trace!
“Tomorrow?!” Yin Yuerong subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at Xia Hou Mingxuan with reluctance. No matter how reluctant she was, she didn’t ask him to stay.
“Mm …” King Jing sent me a message telling me to go back quickly… Moon… After I leave, you have to take care of yourself. What can I possibly do? As long as you say it, no matter where I am, you will always come back, even though … We can’t be together… But I can wait… I know… This is not the best time… Ten years, twenty years … “I will wait and see …” Xia Hou Ming Xuan turned around and looked at Yin Yuerong with determination!
In his entire life, he only loved this woman! In Xia Hou Xuan’s heart, he had already engraved Yin Yuerong’s name, a name that no one could erase …
It was already late in the night. Xia Hou Ming was quietly sitting at the table, casting his gaze towards the door from time to time. He was leaving South Vietnam tomorrow, and he really hoped to see Yin Yueqian face again.
At this moment, the sound of small footsteps came from outside the door!
Xia Hou Mingxuan couldn’t help but stand up, his bright eyes staring at the palace door, his heart full of anticipation!
There was a knock on the door
“Is General Xia Hou here?” A clear and melodious sound rang out. The originally levitating heart had finally settled down, and a trace of disappointment flashed across it.
“Come in!” Xia Hou Ming said indifferently!
“General Xia Hou!” The Empress invited you over to the Full Moon Pavilion for a chat! ” It was Brightmoon. Xia Hou Mingxuan had met her before, but Xia Hou Mingxuan just couldn’t understand. The empress had just given birth, so how could she meet him? At this moment, Xia Hou Ming Xuan began to waver, and couldn’t help but touch his chest. Xu Bixuan’s letter, should she let Leng Yuyao see it?!
“Yes sir!” Xia Hou Ming Xuan didn’t have any reason to refuse and left the room with Ming Yue, heading straight to the Full Moon Pavilion. He originally thought he would meet Yin Yuerong or Duan Haoyu, but he didn’t expect Leng Yuyao to be the only one in the Full Moon Pavilion!
“Mingyue, give General Xia Hou some tea!” Leng Yuyao was leaning against the bed rail, looking slightly pale. She had probably just given birth to the woman, and had overdrawn her strength!
Xia Hou Xuan was a little reserved, not only because Leng Yuyao was the Empress of the Southern Yue, but also because she was Yin Yuerong’s daughter!
“General Xia Hou, please take a seat!” Leng Yuyao slightly raised her hand, signaling Brightmoon to step back!
There was only Leng Yuyao and Xia Hou Mingxuan in the entire Full Moon Pavilion!
“General Xia Hou, there is no one else in this house other than you. Yu Yao has some questions for General Xia Hou to clarify!” Leng Yuyao went straight to the point. When she heard that her mother wanted to leave, she had also seen the reluctance hidden on her mother’s face!
“The empress can ask, but Mingxuan will tell the truth!” Xia Hou Ming nodded slightly, feeling a bit nervous.
“Since General Xia Hou has said so, then Yu Yao will go straight to the point. General, do you have some special feelings for my mother?” Leng Yuyao parted her lips and looked straight at Xia Hou Mingxuan!
Xia Hou Ming was shocked. He had thought that Leng Yuyao only wanted to know about the situation along the way. She hadn’t thought that she would actually know about her relationship with Yuerong!
After a moment of hesitation, Xia Hou Ming nodded.
“Yes!” “But this has nothing to do with the empress dowager. It’s always been my one-sided wish. Her Majesty’s heart has always been with the empress!” Before he knew what Leng Yuyao was thinking, Xia Hou Ming had dragged Yin Yuerong into the water! No matter what kind of punishment he received, he would accept it …
Xia Hou Ming Xuan’s every word was for her mother’s sake, and in his eyes, Leng Yuyao could see sincerity!
“The general knows that the grand concubine, the empress dowager of South Yue, suddenly became the general’s wife of Big Jing. Such a change isn’t something that everyone can accept. I don’t dare to imagine what kind of accusation people would make against the empress. I don’t want the empress to suffer such grievances. Do you understand, General Xia Hou?”
Leng Yuyao frowned slightly as she stared fixedly at Xia Hou Ming Xuan!
“The empress’s concerns are clear to Ming Xuan. He had intended to resign as general once he returned to Dashi. This month …” “The empress dowager lived in seclusion in the mountains. During our time in Big Shu, we went to a plum blossom forest together. The empress dowager really liked that place …”
Xia Hou Mingxuan seemed to feel that Leng Yuyao had no intentions of objecting, only worry!
“Are you really willing to give up your future for the sake of the Queen Mother?”
Leng Yuyao squinted her eyes, and spoke with some doubt!
“You can even give up your life …” Xia Hou Mingxuan vowed solemnly. Between Leng Yuyao’s words, he seemed to hear a glimmer of hope. This was his last chance. If she left tomorrow, she and Yin Yuerong might miss out on a lifetime.
“Yu Yao has a request!” Leng Yuyao’s eyes were determined, her cherry lips slightly parted!
“The empress is too serious!”
“I am not asking you in my capacity as Empress of Southern Yue right now! I beg you, as Yin Yuerong’s daughter, to treat my mother well! Don’t let her suffer any grievances. If the general is willing to agree, I will not object to him taking the Queen Mother away! “But you have to make sure that we meet every year!”
Leng Yuyao choked. When she said those words, there was a struggle in her heart. She couldn’t bear to part with her mother for less than half a year. Now that her mother was leaving again, she really couldn’t bear to part with him! She knew that her mother and father did not have any feelings for each other, and it would be difficult to meet someone she liked but truly treated her well. Since the heavens had arranged this marriage, why would she not let her mother have the happiness she deserved?!
“Empress …” Xia Hou Mingxuan looked at Leng Yuyao in astonishment. She had not expected her to say something like this, so straightforwardly agreeing to take Yuerong away!
“I am waiting for the general to answer me?” Leng Yuyao said indifferently!
“I, Xia Hou Mingxuan, swear to the heavens that I will spend my whole life protecting Yin Yuerong. I won’t let her feel even the slightest bit wronged, nor let her shed a single tear! Those who break this oath will die a miserable death! ” It was difficult for Xia Hou Ming to suppress the excitement in his heart as he vowed solemnly.
Leng Yuyao nodded slightly, her eyes flashing past Xia Hou Mingxuan.
“I heard Mother say that you are leaving tomorrow? Is it too hasty? ”
“Actually… I wanted to leave on my own, because I knew that the Empress Mother had not told the Empress about us, and I knew how important your place was in YueRong’s heart. I understood her! “So …” He blamed himself for wanting to give up so easily!
“I understand. Imperial Mother has lost too many things for my sake for the rest of her life! This time, I can’t let her sacrifice her happiness for me again! General Xia Hou, I have another request! ” Glimmers danced in Leng Yuyao’s eyes as a trace of brilliance flashed through them!
“Empress, please speak frankly!”
“I think… Would Xia Hou be able to return to Daxin first, resign his position, and then return to South Vietnam to take over his mother’s position? How about it? “Ugh …” General Xia Hou, don’t misunderstand. I don’t doubt the sincerity of General Xia Hou. The Queen Mother just returned. I really can’t bear to see the Queen leave me so quickly … “General, please understand my feelings as a daughter!”
Leng Yuyao’s expectant gaze fell on Xia Hou Ming!
“The empress is too serious!” Ming Xuan also had the same thought! We will set off tomorrow and return in ten days! ” Qing Yue’s voice couldn’t hide the excitement in his heart. Xia Hou Mingxuan had never thought that the heavens would give him this turn!
“Also …” I beg you, General Xia Hou, to not tell Mother about what happened tonight. I will let Mother know how to choose in the next ten days! ” Leng Yuyao pleaded.
“This… “Ming Xuan knows …” Xia Hou Xuan knew what Leng Yuyao meant and nodded slightly.
Night. Sleepless!
In the reception hall, Yin Yuerong sat by the table because Yu Yao had said that Duan Haoyu would be going tonight, so she naturally wouldn’t disturb them. At this moment, she felt uneasy, she wanted to go see Xia Hou and Mingxuan, because after tomorrow, he would leave the Southern Yue and see her again!
However, she was afraid that if she saw him, she wouldn’t be willing to part with him and would even ask him to stay! Yin Yuerong caressed her forehead, sighing from time to time.
Early in the morning, Yin Yuerong walked out of the room. She hesitated for a moment before heading straight for Xia Hou’s room!
Knock lightly on the door of the palace
“General Xia Hou?” “Ming Xuan …” No response came. Yin Yuerong’s heart sank. She gave the door a deep push. The door had actually been opened! A sparkle flashed across Yin Yuerong’s eyes as she walked into the room. Xia Hou Mingxuan wasn’t in the empty room. He left … He did not leave behind a single word, not even to mention the last bit …
Yin YueRong sat down on the edge of the table, looking down at the neatly wrapped bed. Tears kept dripping down her face, falling down to the ground and breaking into pieces.
Ming Xuan … You’re blaming me, aren’t you? Blame me for giving up our relationship without a fight… Sorry… Ming Xuan …
Almost two hours later, Yin Yuerong calmed herself down, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and slowly left the room, heading straight to the Full Moon Pavilion! Currently, all of her thoughts were on her daughter. As for Xia Hou Xuan … I can only recall my memories …
“Muhou, you’re here!” Leng Yuyao said happily when she saw Yin Yuerong walk in. Her eyes were fixated on Yin Yuerong’s face. Although it was handled well, Leng Yuyao could still tell that her mother had just cried!
“Yu Yao, how do you feel? How are you doing? ” The moment she saw her daughter, the sadness in Yin Yuerong’s eyes disappeared.
“Not bad!”
Yin Yuerong walked to the bed and pulled on Leng Yuyao’s blanket.
“Just given birth, you have to be careful of your body! “You can’t afford to be careless.”
“I know, Queen Mother!” The General Xia who escorted you back has left. Did you know? ” Leng Yuyao casually said. However, she was paying attention to Yin Yuerong’s every expression!
There was no surprise, only silence. It seemed that the Queen must have come from Xia Hou’s room.
“Really?” Heh! I have to trouble you all along the way without being able to say a word of thanks … “Why did you leave in such a hurry …” Since he and Xia Hou Ming Xuan were so close, then he might as well bury this deep within his heart! Yin Yuerong said calmly.
“Who says it isn’t!?” Yesterday when Haoyu was here, he came to say goodbye and even said a lot of strange things! ” Leng Yu Yao subconsciously pulled on the blanket and said indifferently!
“What did she say?” Yin Yuerong was shocked.
“Nothing much, my general meaning is for us to take good care of you!” Isn’t he just spouting nonsense! You are my mother, so of course I will take good care of you, this person! ” Leng Yuyao probed!
“He has good intentions as well …” “Yu Yao, you must be hungry …” Looking at the porridge on the table, Yin Yuerong stood up to carry it to him. She turned around, and a trace of bitterness flashed across her heart …
“En!” Leng Yuyao could see what her mother was thinking of Xia Hou Mingxuan. Even though her mother was a cold and wise woman, she could not hide her emotions. This showed that she was truly sad for Xia Hou Mingxuan’s departure.
