"Okay!" Wu Xi nodded, looked at the fireworks blooming in the air, and walked towards the room with Xiao Ping'an.
Empress Changsun sighed.
She just thought that during this year's Lantern Festival, the emperor and she watched the fireworks set off outside the Lizheng Hall.
Zhao Chen, Li Ruoshuang, Li Tai, Li Ke and Li Zhi were all by their side, watching the fireworks bloom together.
But what about today?
The emperor is far away on the front line, and his life and death are unknown.
Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang were frequently intercepted and killed by Li Tai, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
Li Tai controls the court, and now he is even more willing to kill and kill.
Only Xiao Lizhi was by his side.
If time can stop, Empress Changsun hopes that time can stop at the Lantern Festival.
At least this way, she can be happy for a longer time.
"Auntie!" Wu Qi pushed open the door and suddenly stopped in place.
He looked excitedly at Empress Changsun behind him.
Wu Xi has grown into a graceful girl in the past two years, but she is not inferior to Empress Changsun.
It just blocked Queen Changsun's vision.
"What's wrong with Xiao Wu?" Empress Changsun was puzzled. What did she do?
"Auntie, come quickly!" Wu Xi's voice could not contain any excitement.
"Yaah—" Empress Changsun frowned and heard Xiao Ping'an's voice again.
Thinking that something happened to Wu Yu, he hurriedly ran in, but suddenly stood at the door.
Looking at the familiar back sitting in front of him, Empress Changsun even stopped breathing.
"You...you are...zhao...zhao Chen?" Empress Changsun said Zhao Chen's name in a trembling voice.
Although it was just a back view, she would never forget this back view no matter what.
"Auntie, long time no see!" Zhao Chen's voice sounded, but a strange face turned around.
"You..." Queen Changsun's expression changed. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Zhao Chen tearing off the mask on her face.
Looking at Zhao Chen's real face, Queen Changsun felt her nose feel a little sour.
God knows how worried she has to be about Zhao Chen's safety these days.
Ever since she learned that something happened to Zhao Chen, Empress Changsun has been praying with the Bodhisattva every day.
Later, Wei Zheng said that Zhao Chen was still alive, and Empress Changsun was so excited that she didn't fall asleep all night.
Now, I finally saw Zhao Chen with my own eyes, my son, and I stood in front of me.
Even though Zhao Chen still called his aunt, both of them knew what kind of relationship they had with each other.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Empress Changsun held Zhao Chen's hand and held it tightly, as if she was afraid that Zhao Chen would suddenly disappear in front of her.
"Zhao Chen, you are back, I thought..." Wu Xi looked at Zhao Chen, and tears fell down halfway through his words.
Wu Xi is just a girl. In the past few years, she has long regarded Zhao Chen as her relative.
Her mind is not as tough as Queen Changsun, and shedding tears is really ordinary.
"It's okay, isn't you back? How old are you, you're still like a little girl." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
In fact, Wu Xi is only fourteen years old this year, and she is actually just a little girl.
"How old am I, how good is that younger than you!" Wu Yu wiped tears on the back of his hand and threw Xiao Ping'an into Zhao Chen's arms: "Your own girl, hold it yourself."
Then he stared at Zhao Chen tightly, worried that Zhao Chen would suddenly disappear from his eyes.
Zhao Chen took his daughter and looked at her daughter curiously as she opened her eyes. Zhao Chen felt for a moment that she didn't know what it felt.
He gently shaved Xiao Ping'an's face with his fingers.
Before he could move much, Xiao Ping'an burst into tears.
Zhao Chen suddenly panicked.
He had no idea how to coax his daughter, so he just kept rushing to wipe her tears.
"what to do?"
"Why did she keep crying?" Zhao Chen felt his head very big and asked with the two people in front of him.
"It's nothing, I'm just sleepy, just take her to bed!" Queen Changsun said with a smile.
"That……"
"You take her to bed by yourself. Why? Can't you coax her to sleep with your own daughter?" Before Zhao Chen could speak, he was blocked by Wu Yu's words.
Zhao Chen was frustrated and hugged Xiao Ping'an into the room in a bad mood.
The room was a little cold and the quilt was a little thin. Zhao Chen saw his jacket take off and wrap around Xiao Ping'an's body.
Maybe the fur coat was warm, but not long after, Xiao Ping'an calmed down.
He looked at Zhao Chen with round eyes and then fell asleep quietly.
"Huh--" Zhao Chen let out a light breath and looked at the two people in front of him.
"Auntie, Xiao Wu, thank you for your hard work during this period." Zhao Chen stood up and bowed deeply to the two people in front of him.
Empress Changsun didn't say anything, but Wu Yu felt a little awkward, but she didn't know what she should say.
"Sit down." Empress Changsun waved to Zhao Chen, and Wu Qi found a piece of Zhao Chen's past clothes and handed them to him.
After changing into his clothes, Zhao Chen sat down on the stool.
"We are a family, so you don't have to say what you have to work hard."
"What are your plans now?" Queen Changsun said, and asked Zhao Chen again.
It's a family, it's the heartfelt words.
As for Zhao Chen’s current plan, it is particularly important.
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will attack Li Tai tomorrow."
"Here, someone will be arranged to rescue me. At that time, please ask my aunt to take everyone to leave." Zhao Chen said, looking at Empress Changsun.
Although he now knows that Empress Changsun is his mother, Zhao Chen has no way to shout out the word "My Queen".
Maybe he needs to wait a little longer.
"Everyone follows your arrangements." Empress Changsun nodded, not even asking about the details of Zhao Chen's plan.
As for Li Tai, she didn't say anything.
Li Tai's crimes in Chang'an are hard to describe in words.
Empress Changsun really couldn't think of any reason she wanted to use and asked Zhao Chen to let Li Tai go.
Many times, many things cannot be done by just one identity.
If you do something wrong, you always have to pay the price in the end.
The prince is no exception.
Zhao Chen nodded, but he didn't tell Empress Changsun how he would deal with Li Tai.
None of those matters anymore.
Because no matter how Queen Changsun advised her, Zhao Chen would not spare Li Tai easily.
If it weren't for Li Tai, how could the war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo happen at this time?
How could Qin Qiong die under Hui Zhen’s knife?
If Li Tai is not executed, how can Zhao Chen explain to Qin Huaiyu?
Zhao Chen would not let Li Tai go, and the people of the world would not let him go.
"Your Majesty is on the front line, are you okay?" After a long silence, Empress Changsun wanted to change the topic, so she asked Zhao Chen about the emperor's situation.
"It's pretty good, maybe I've lost a lot of hair recently."
"After all, he has to think about how to deal with Yuan Gai Suwen, and he uses a lot of brains." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"You child." Empress Changsun smiled, "If you were there, Your Majesty would probably not have to worry so much."
Zhao Chen shook his head and looked up at the fireworks outside.
The sound of fireworks gradually became less and less, which meant that he had to leave immediately.
