"Mother..." After a long time, Li Yong suddenly called out softly, and there was no resentment that had just been filled.

Concubine De really calmed down and replied with a chuckling, "Mother is here."

"Have you ever thought about asking your son, why do you want to marry Xie Xuan?" Li Yong turned his head and looked at Concubine De with a bright look.

The smile on Concubine De's face froze. She didn't expect that Li Yong's words would still remain with Xie Xuan.

Li Yong had already expected Concubine De's reaction, and did not want her to answer the conversation. He continued, "When I was young, in this palace, although I was protected by my mother and not killed, the power struggle in this palace is intrigue and deceitful. You frame me today and I frame you tomorrow. This kind of thing is never uncommon. My father is not a father, my son is not a son, and my brothers and sisters are not like brothers and sisters. My son used to think that all families were the same, but because I was born in the palace, this family was bigger and there were more battles. Until one time, I accidentally went to the Duke of Ding's mansion with Aheng. That year, it was Ding.

The Duke of the State rarely returned to Beijing to report his duties, and just happened to be on Mrs. Xiao's birthday, so he held a small banquet at home without any banquets. The minister was just because of Aheng's relationship, so he could benefit from it and have fun together. It was at that time that the minister realized that not all families were what the minister had thought before. A family like the Duke of Ding's Mansion would have such a harmonious couple, brothers and brothers, and the warmth and harmony of the family was unimaginable to the mother's imagination. However, the minister was very envious. At that time, the minister thought, how good would it be if his family was like that in the future, it would be like that?"

Li Yong's tone seemed to be in a trance like he fell into a dream, and even his face and eyes were full of longing.

That made Concubine De feel ache, let alone looking at his expression. Concubine De turned her head and didn't look at him, so she could harden her heart again and said, "Do you think she grew up in such a family and could give you such a life? Wouldn't it be too whimsical? Not to mention, you were born in the royal family and could not escape the struggle of power and want to live in the Peach Blossom Land? Wow! That's just a fool! Even the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion is too busy to take care of herself and has no spare time to protect her daughter. If not, why would they marry Xie Xuan into the royal family?"

This is the sad thing about them. Since they want to enjoy supreme rights and glory, they must give up some things.

And those who must be given up are nothing in the opinion of Concubine De.

"Yes! I know! Those are just extravagant hopes that I can only think about in my dreams. I want to marry Xie Xuan, not just because of this. Perhaps it was from that time that I would not be able to pay attention to her, perhaps because she was the closest girl to me, perhaps because although she pretended to be a dignified and dull look that was no different from others, I knew that in her bones, it was actually a different look in her bones. In short... When she appeared, I couldn't see others anymore. I don't know when, I was sure that my wife would look like her in the future. No! It was only her! This was also a dream of me. I thought it was not difficult to realize, and even when I thought my dream was about to come true, this dream was broken by you, Mother,... mercilessly."

Li Yong tugged his lips gently and smiled bitterly.

"My mother is right, but I don't know that she treats me, but she doesn't treat her deeply? If it weren't... she wouldn't have looked at her. But even if it was used, so what? If the son doesn't believe it, her heart is a stone that cannot be warm. One day, she will treat her as a son as a son."

Li Yong showed his feelings in front of Concubine De so unreservedly, but Concubine De was not moved, but instead said angrily, "You are really a terrible person! Mother has told you so much, but you are still obsessed with it. Since you are thinking about her good deeds like this, why should you care so much? Now, it's just an imperial edict to give you a marriage, and the rice has not yet been cooked. You can go to your father's place to say you want to marry her. At worst, even if you bet on the lives of you, my mother and son, you will be full of your deep affection! On the road to the underworld, the mother cannot blame others, but only blames yourself for raising a good man into a heroic waste, deserve it!"

Concubine De's words were heartbreaking. After saying that, Concubine De's chest was still fluctuating violently, but it was obvious that the emotional fluctuations were really big.

But Li Yong did not react at all. He looked at Concubine De silently. His appearance was exactly the same as that of the young man who was usually in his usual state. But at this moment, Concubine De was secretly shocked, and unconsciously, a little cautious in his eyes.

"Mother, I know, what is the real purpose of you doing so hard. I haven't acted according to your wishes over the years, so I have achieved the fruit of today. Don't worry, after this time, I will definitely fulfill my mother's wish. After all, I have to admit that it's still the mother's, and I am the first step to get better."

After saying that, Li Yong had already cleaned up his face, and all the emotions in his eyes were in his eyes. He bowed to Concubine De with an expressionless face, said goodbye, and turned around and strode out of the hall.

Concubine De was struck by lightning. She looked at him walking out of the hall backwards, and felt the thick black ink rushing towards her. When her feet softened, she fell to the ground.

"Empress!" Zijuan, who saw Li Yong leaving, just walked into the hall. When she saw the scene, she was so scared that she exclaimed and rushed forward.

When she wanted to help Concubine De up, she realized that her hands were so cold that they were not only that, but also trembling gently.

Zijuan saw Defei's face again and it turned out to be pale and sweated coldly.

Zijuan was shocked and turned his head and wanted to send someone to the imperial physician. Unexpectedly, someone pinched his hands hard. She felt pain. She looked down at the nails embedded in her back of her hand. She raised her head and saw that although Defei was powerless, she shook her head firmly. Zijuan had to swallow the words she said to her.

Zijuan accompanied Concubine De and sat on the ground for a while. It was not until Concubine De's face improved a little. She helped Concubine De get up from the ground, turned back to the chair just now, and brought a cup of hot tea to Concubine De. She took a sip. Her face finally turned a little. Zijuan couldn't help but sigh, "What's the hard work of Empress? She obviously had some painstaking efforts, so she could explain to Your Highness directly, but why did you insist on letting Your Highness blame you and hurt your mother and son's relationship in vain."
