At dusk, Huang Chenling and Yan Ruocheng quietly returned home.
"Mom, where did you and Uncle Chen go?" Xiaoling asked.
"We went to Uncle Xian's place, why did you come here?" Yan Ruocheng picked him up and asked.
Xiaoling pointed to a corner of the corridor and said, "Uncle Mo asked me to come here and wait for you."
Huang Fengmo asked the guards to push him and waited somewhere in the corridor.
"How long has he been waiting for us there?" Yan Ruocheng looked at it and asked Xiaoling quietly.
"I've been waiting for a long time." Xiao Ling said honestly.
Huang Chenling took the initiative to hug Xiaoling over and said, "Go over there."
Yan Ruocheng looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Take Xiaoling back to your room first."
"Okay." Huang Chenling said lightly.
"Why do you have to go back to your room? I just came out and wanted to meet you for dinner." Xiao Ling said anxiously.
"Then I'll take you back to your room for dinner." Huang Chenling coaxed and took him around to leave.
Yan Ruozhen looked at Huang Chenling's back and went to look for Huang Fengmo for a long time.
"Your Highness."
Huang Fengmo heard the sound and raised his head in her direction.
"Did you just come back?"
"Well, yes." Yan Ruocheng pushed him away.
Back in the room, a red bridal outfit hung in front of the screen. A phoenix cloud appeared on the golden embroidery thread. It was extremely beautiful.
"Is this my wedding dress?" she said, her mood not fluctuating much.
"Yes, do you like it?" he asked, and he could hear her speaking calmly.
"I like it." Yan Ruocheng said with a fake smile.
"That's good." He didn't ask further.
"Your Highness, I have something to tell you. Can I tell you now?" She paused and said after thinking about it.
"Say it." He replied calmly.
"With my current appearance, I'm afraid that one day I will scare people to death. So please don't make a big show of it, just keep everything low-key. Although I say this, it is very excessive, but I still hope so." She
Said selfishly.
His big hand that was originally holding the armrest relaxed and said, "I thought you were going to say that you didn't plan to get married to me. Was it because of this little thing?"
"Uh, Your Highness, why do you think so?" she asked, squatting in front of him.
"You ask me like this, as if you are mocking my IQ. Although I can't see, you will become a lot stranger to me every time you are with Chen Ling. Sometimes I think, even though I promised to be with you,
We are getting married. Your heart will never be with me from now on. Even if it is in name only, is it really okay for us to do this? Ruocheng, there are actually other ways to protect Xiaoling. After you adopt him to me, there will be no
No one dares to touch a hair on his head." Huang Fengmo also thought deeply for a long time and slowly said the words he had buried in his heart.
"But, Your Highness, don't you always want me to be by your side?" Yan Ruocheng no longer concealed what was in his heart and spoke directly.
"Are you afraid that I'll commit suicide again?"
"Yes, I'm afraid."
Huang Fengmo paused and said, "I promise you, I won't commit suicide again, so you don't have to worry about canceling this marriage."
Yan Ruozhen said nothing and looked at him quietly. Seeing how he forced himself to say these words with duplicity, his dull eyes radiated an incomparable abyss, and there was no hope anymore.
"Cannot cancel." She said seriously.
"Why do you have to force yourself to marry someone you don't like? What you love is Chenling, not me. Don't force yourself anymore because of responsibility. It's unfair to me." He continued to force her.
.
Yan Ruocheng stretched out her hand to hold his face gently, put her forehead against his, and said, "Okay, Your Highness, don't say anything against your will. Will you do it as soon as I'm with Chen Ling?"
I feel very uneasy. Are you afraid that I won’t come back if I leave? No, I will come back to you.”
"I've already said this, why are you still deceiving yourself?" He said in a low voice.
"I can't leave you alone, Your Highness. Stop talking." She changed from holding his handsome face to hugging him.
Huang Fengmo didn't push her away. He had already forced himself to say many cruel words to push her away, but he couldn't help but hold her gently. He was so duplicitous.
In the evening, Yan Ruocheng felt a little nauseous after taking the medicinal pill prescribed by Dr. Li, so she went back to bed early to rest.
"Mom, do you want to sleep so early?" Xiao Ling, who was reading a book, asked.
"Yes, mother is very tired today. After you finish reading, come over and sleep." She had already laid down.
"Okay." Xiaoling nodded.
Soon, a person came outside the door, it was Huang Chenling.
He planned to return to the palace tomorrow, so he came to see Yan Ruocheng, mother and son a few more times.
Knock on the door gently and say: "Ruoqing, Xiaoling, are you asleep?"
"Shh! Don't be so loud, mother, she is already asleep." Xiaoling raised her finger, making a gesture to be quiet, and said in a low voice.
"You go to bed so early, can I come in?" Huang Chenling asked softly.
Xiaoling nodded and let him in.
Huang Chenling walked to the bed and took a look at how Yan Ruocheng was sleeping. She was also wearing a veil when she slept. He helped her cover her with the quilt.
"Uncle Chen, did you come to see us for anything?" Xiaoling came over and asked softly.
"I came to see if you were asleep. I wanted to have a chat, but I'm leaving tomorrow," he said.
"What do you want to talk about? I can talk to you, I'm not asleep yet." Xiao Ling said.
Huang Chenling sighed, picked him up and said, "Wear a robe and go outside to admire the moon."
"Okay." Xiaoling nodded.
Huang Chenling took Yan Ruocheng's coat, casually covered Xiaoling's body, and carried him out.
The stars in the sky are twinkling, and there are not many clouds at night, scattered to the horizon. A crescent moon hangs.
"The moon is not full tonight. My mother said that the moon is beautiful when it is full, and it also represents the reunion of the family." Xiao Ling couldn't help but say.
Huang Chenling said with a smile: "Your mother is right. When the moon is full, the moonlight is the most beautiful. When you see the moon, Xiaoling, have you ever missed your father?"
Xiao Ling snickered and said, "I missed you, but you don't have to miss me anymore."
"Why don't you have to miss me in the future?" Huang Chenling asked puzzledly.
"Well, this is meaningless. Daddy lives in my heart." Xiaoling said with some concealment, her round eyes looking towards her other half, not directly at him.
Huang Chenling could completely tell that he was lying. The little guy's ability to lie was too obvious. Compared with his mother, it was far behind. He had to find a way to trick Xiaoling and see what he was hiding.
.
"However, I heard from your mother that you seem to have never met your father, so how do you miss him?" Huang Chenling asked pretentiously.
"I imagined it. My father looks gentle, neither tall nor short, and his skin color is similar to my mother's." Xiao Ling would not say that she had already met him last time, when Wang Xiulin tricked him into entering the palace. Huang Chenling looked at him.
He said it confidently, as if he had actually seen it before. Listening to his description, it seemed as if he had actually seen it before.
"You seem to have seen it before?"
"Ah! No, no! I haven't seen it before, I just imagined it, hahaha." Xiao Ling said with an embarrassed smile. Maybe he was exposed, so he was so scared that he was sweating a little on his forehead.
"Then did your mother say that children cannot lie? You broke out in cold sweat on your forehead because of lying." Huang Chenling helped wipe the sweat from Xiaoling's forehead and said with a smile.
Xiaoling became embarrassed and uncomfortable. She seemed to jump off him and run away. She said helplessly: "Uncle Chen, can you let me down?"
"At night, there may be rats and snakes on the ground. Do you want to be bitten?" Huang Chenling said, pretending to scare him.
Xiao Ling looked at the ground and felt that it would be safest to be hugged warmly by Huang Chenling.
"Then I don't want to come down anymore, Uncle Chen, just keep holding me."
"Hmm. Okay, but you have to tell me why you lied?" Huang Chenling asked tentatively.
"Uncle Chen, if I tell you, will you keep it a secret?" Xiao Ling asked hesitantly.
"Let's hook our fingers, and I will keep it a secret for you, absolutely!" Huang Chenling stretched out her fingers to coax him.
"Okay, I'll tell you. Don't tell it. Don't let your mother find out. This is the most important thing." Xiao Ling hooked his fingers and said.
"Okay, it's a deal. Just hook your fingers, this is a secret between us." Huang Chenling said with a smile.
"Okay, let me tell you, this matter has been in my heart for a long time and I have been troubled for a long time." Xiao Ling said pretending to be an adult.
Huang Chenling almost couldn't help laughing when she saw how cute she was pretending to be. She suppressed her laughter and listened patiently to what he said.
"That day, I was kidnapped for no reason, and then I was taken to the palace. It turned out that the person who kidnapped me was my father. It turned out that he was not dead. Do you think I was surprised?" Xiao Ling said happily.
After hearing this, Huang Chenling was not surprised, but surprised. He didn't know when he had kidnapped his own son?
"What does he look like? Does he look like you?"
"Not like me, but like my mother."
Huang Chenling analyzed: A man like Yan Ruocheng is just a sissy. Who is so bold as to impersonate his identity?
"Then what did he say to you? Did you still send it?"
Xiaoling scratched his head and said, "This is also something that worries me. He asked me if I wanted to go to the palace to accompany him, but I refused at that time. But he also asked me to come back and think it over carefully. Uncle Chen, what do you mean?
What should I do?"
"Of course I will accompany your mother. Your mother raised you single-handedly. How could he take you away so easily just because of his appearance? This is unfair to your mother." Huang Chenling didn't care.
Whoever wants to pretend to be him must first teach Xiao Ling well.
"But dad said that it was mom who hated him back then, so he didn't dare to show up. Mom was cruel to dad because she wanted to be with Uncle Mo." Xiaoling was partial to her dad and said helpfully.
.
"Things are not what your father said. Don't judge who is right and who is wrong just by listening to one side of the story. And are you sure he is your father?" Huang Chenling said instructingly.
"Yes, I even tried to identify my father with a drop of blood. Two drops of blood can be dissolved. I saw with my own eyes that he is my father." Xiao Ling said firmly.
