Chapter 287 The open-minded Queen Xiao

The VIP passage is built inside the stadium stand. Except for the staff in the stadium, only VIPs from each stadium can enter. At the exit of the passage in the stadium of Li Yan, the guards of the Prince Qi Mansion were divided into two teams, guarding at both ends of the passage. Li Yan, Xiao Yu and others stood in the dim passage in the middle. Everyone had different faces, but they all maintained an unspeakable silence, even the most lively Yizi and Caier were no exception.

"Liu Huang, as you said, Qing'er was actually terminally ill and was not long after his life. In order to avoid her mother being sad for him again, he never recognized each other, right?" Xiao Yu was silent for a while and suddenly spoke. Li Yan had explained to him the reason why Yang Qing did not see Queen Xiao, and even told him the process of meeting Yang Qing, but there were some hidden things but they did not say, such as the matter about the Four Guards.

"That's true. My uncle didn't even want to come to Chang'an again. It was because my third brother and I worked a lot to convince him, but my uncle put forward a condition, that is, we don't want to see our grandmother. My third brother and I had no choice but to agree." Li Yan replied with a distressed look on his face. He originally thought that Empress Xiao would not come to the game, but unexpectedly, because of Xiao Yu's relationship, Empress Xiao made an exception, and happened to meet them. This was simply a coincidence. Is it really a decisive thing to do in the dark?

When Li Yan sighed at the wonders of the world, Xiao Yu also had the same idea, but he also felt a little guilty in his heart. Yang Ming and Li Ming were indeed right. Now Yang Ming has not had much time, and he might have let go one day. His sister Queen Xiao is so old. If he experiences the pain of losing his son again, that kind of blow can definitely make a person collapse. What's more, Yang Ming's situation is still lost and regained, but after getting it, he loses it quickly. This is even more collapsed than the ordinary pain of losing his son.

Xiao Yu and Li Yan did not speak, and the passage fell into silence again. Through the small entrance to the stands, Li Yan and the others could hear that Empress Xiao and his son in the stands cried and laughed, and more of them could not hear clearly. It seemed that they were explaining their experiences over the years.

Until the relay race below was about to end, Empress Xiao and son in the stands stopped talking. Then Yang Qing walked into the passage with red eyes, and first bowed to Xiao Yu and said, "Uncle, nephew is unfilial. He has never visited the mansion when he came to Chang'an. It is really rude!"

Xiao Yu looked at his gray-haired nephew and sighed, "Ye'er, I know you have difficulties. Liu Huang told me all the time, but since you, you are the same as God's will, you will try to accompany your mother as much as possible during this period. By the way, you haven't told your mother about you yet?"

When Yang Xiao heard Xiao Yu's words, he smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, although my mother was excited when she saw me, with her wisdom, she naturally could see the problem that I had never met her. So after her questioning, I had told my mother about my terminal illness."

Li Yan and Xiao Yu were both shocked after hearing this. Although they had already expected it before, they still had a glimmer of extravagance in their hearts, hoping that Queen Xiao would ignore this matter because of the excitement of the mother and son recognizing each other. However, now it seems that Queen Xiao is a person who has come through the storm and waves after all, and it is too difficult to fool her.

"Uncle, Liulang, let's go in. Mother is fine!" While Li Yan and Xiao Yu were hesitating, Yang Ming continued to say, and at the same time pulled Cai'er's hand and signaled everyone to go to the stands to meet Queen Xiao together.

Li Yan and Xiao Yu looked at each other, and they all saw some helplessness in each other's eyes, especially for Li Yan, Empress Xiao is not only a woman with a ill-fated fate, but also a respectable elder. But sometimes reality is so cruel. She took away Queen Xiao's husband, children, and glorious identity more than 20 years ago, but now she has to take away her last surviving son.

With resentment towards God's injustice, Li Yan followed Xiao Yu and everyone went to the stands. However, to everyone's surprise, Empress Xiao was in a very good spirit and did not have the kind of grief that Li Yan imagined. When she saw Caier, she immediately hugged her in her arms and said intimately: "Cai'er, you ghost girl, you know that I am your grandmother, but you have been hiding it from me. Should you beat me?"

Caier was also very nervous, but when she looked at the kind smile on her grandmother's face, she suddenly felt that she was also happy. Her little face, which still had tears, immediately showed a sweet smile to Queen Xiao, and said softly: "Grandma forgives her, it's Caier's fault. Caier apologizes to you!"

Seeing Caier so sensible, she actually changed her name to her grandmother, which made Queen Xiao even more happy. She hugged and kissed her for two more times and never let go. Then she looked at Li Yan again, snorted coldly and said, "Liu Lang, you are so brave. You dare to hide your uncle's affairs from me all the time?"

Li Yan was also feeling strange about Empress Xiao's happy expression. Logically speaking, Yang Xiao was suffering from a terminal illness, and Empress Xiao should not be like a ok person no matter what? However, when he heard Empress Xiao blamed him, he immediately pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Grandma, grandmother, you really can't blame your grandson for this. Mother and third brother know that they didn't even say it. Naturally, I, the youngest, dare not say it."

Li Yan unfaithfully pulled Concubine Yang and Li Ke as shields, which made Queen Xiao laugh and scolded. This not only made Li Yan and Xiao Yu feel confused, but even Wen Xin and Li Zhi next to him also showed confusion. It was precisely because of this that after Queen Xiao smiled, everyone did not speak, and the scene suddenly became cold.

When Queen Xiao saw the expressions on Li Yan and the others' faces, she shook her head helplessly, hugged Caier and sat on her lap, and pulled her son Yang Qing over to let him sit beside her. Then she said: "Brother Yu, Liulang, do you think I should feel pain after hearing that Xiao Er is suffering from a terminal illness?"

When Li Yan and Xiao Yu heard Empress Xiao’s words, they were both in a dilemma and felt that it was not appropriate to say yes or no.

However, Empress Xiao showed an open-minded smile and gently held the hands of her son Yang Hing and granddaughter Caier and said, "Maybe in your opinion, I am so old. If I experience the pain of losing my son again, I may not be able to bear it, but you are all wrong!"

When Queen Xiao said this, she turned her head and looked at Yang Hing beside her. Her words not only said to Li Hing and others, but also to her son Yang Hing. When Yang Hing heard her mother's words, she also showed a hint of shame on her face.

Then Empress Xiao said, "I have suffered all the hardships of the world in my life and have long been indifferent to everything. But now I am old and hope that there will be a junior with me. However, the turmoil that year made me lose this luxury idea. But I didn't expect that God treated me well and actually allowed Qing'er to escape. Although he was not by my side for many years, at least he is still alive, and there is a lovely daughter like Caier, which is enough!"

When Queen Xiao said this, Yang Hing was already crying. He didn't expect that her mother would be so easily satisfied. She was already very happy just by living safely. Li Yan and Wen Xin looked at each other, and they felt a little moved by Queen Xiao's great maternal love.

"Sister, I can rest assured if you think so." Xiao Yu also sighed, and finally a little smile appeared on his face.

After hearing this, Empress Xiao smiled at Xiao Yu and then said, "Although Qing'er is terminally ill, from the conversation with him just now, I know that although he has had some ups and downs over the years, he has been very peaceful in the last few years, and Cai'er has been with him. The only thing that cannot be let go is Cai'er. However, now I am the grandmother, and Jiu Niang's aunt, and Ke'er and Liulang are here, no one dares to bully our Cai'er!"

Queen Xiao said this, turned her head and looked at her son Yang Xiao again, touched the wrinkles on his forehead and said, "Xian'er is already fifty-four years old. Even if she dies of illness, she cannot be considered a sudden death. Moreover, I am so old that I have seen through life and death. Xiao'er is now taking the lead. Maybe in a short time, I will go down to accompany them, father and son. Then I will rely on Liulang and you to take care of Cai'er!"

When she heard her grandmother talk about life and death, and mentioned herself, Caier suddenly felt sad again, and tears came out of her eyes again, dripping along her white and tender cheeks.

Empress Xiao also noticed the abnormality of her granddaughter at this time, and immediately pulled out her handkerchief, wiped her tears for Caier and said with a smile: "It's all that Caier doesn't cry, it's all that her grandmother is bad, which makes Caier sad. Today is the day when our grandparents and grandchildren reunite. Come and laugh for grandmother!"

At this time, Wen Xin and the sensible Yizi also came up to help persuade Caier. With the help of them, Caier quickly smiled again. What surprised everyone was that Li Zhi, the kid, also joined in the fun. Not only did he help persuade him, but he also wiped his tears, but Li Yan pulled him back.

Queen Xiao seemed to be as she said, not very concerned about her son Yang Qing's terminal illness, and she also pulled Yang Qing and kept talking with her excitedly. Xiao Yu and Li Qing and his wife were also accompanied, and they interjected a few words from time to time. Although the following competition was in full swing, there was a warm scene in their stands, as if during the holidays, the family gathered together to chat about family matters.
