The Queen of the Northern Barbarians looked at the two people in front of her. Hongren just said, Mu Qier is his wife?
Yes, they grew up together, were childhood sweethearts, and had already decided to get married.
They have been separated for so many years due to a strange combination of circumstances, but they never expected to be able to come together again. It is truly God’s will!
"Hongren, my mother knows that you have suffered a lot.
What happened in the past was that the empress mother and your father could not treat you well and left you living outside.
As long as you are willing to come back, the queen mother promises that she will compensate you well in the future."
Bai Xiao did not correct her name again, but asked seriously:
"Does the Queen know who killed me in the China tribe?"
The Beiman Queen paused for a moment, then glanced at Mu Qier beside Bai Xiao, and saw that she was also looking at her with burning eyes.
Suddenly, he didn't dare to look into Mu Qier's eyes.
What happened that year not only involved her imperial son Hongren, but also Mu Qier's parents and brothers, as well as the lives of the entire clan.
Although the genocide was not done by her, it was done by her husband.
And after she found out, she just wanted to do her best to protect her only remaining eldest son.
Not only did Hongren not get justice, but he also exchanged his death for the emperor's promise to never depose the crown prince.
The Queen of the Northern Barbarians didn't know how to answer, so she had to avoid the important points and said lightly:
"Hongren, my mother heard that you have the support of the four major tribes. If you can let go of the past, your future will be immeasurable.
When people are alive, they must always look forward. It is better to fight for what you can get than the pain of loss."
The Northern Barbarian Queen looked at her lost and found son with sincere eyes.
With a real, grown-up son standing in front of her, she naturally wanted to renew the relationship between mother and son.
Bai Xiao listened to the words of the Northern Barbarian Queen and understood that he, the queen, knew the truth.
Although he knew about it, he did not turn against the Northern Barbarian Emperor because of him.
Sure enough, for them, in the face of rights and interests, blood and family ties are nothing!
Bai Xiao concealed his disappointment well and asked calmly:
"Is the Queen really willing to compensate me?"
Although the Queen of the Northern Barbarians listened to Bai Xiao's words about the queen and the empress, it was a little harsh. But she also knew that it would take more than a day to freeze three feet.
As long as Bai Xiao can return to the Northern Barbarian royal family and get along with him for a long time, he will definitely be able to clear up the past feud.
At the moment, naturally we can't force him.
"Hongren, my mother's heart aches every time she thinks of you these years. Believe me, I will never harm you.
If possible, the Queen Mother would rather endure these sufferings on your behalf. The Queen Mother really wants to compensate you."
She said it so nicely, how wonderful would it be if she really meant it?
But Bai Xiao is not a three-year-old child, nor is he a young man who has not experienced the world.
He is Jun Lingyun's first-class personal bodyguard. He has seen many warm and gentle people, and he is worthy of this one!
"Well, then please ask the queen to lobby the ministers close to you to help me ascend to the position of prince as compensation for me."
Although Bai Xiao has the support of the four major tribes, the power of the royal family cannot be underestimated.
Otherwise, he would not be able to rule the Northern Barbarian Kingdom forever.
How many China tribes can there be in this world that can rival the Northern Barbarian royal family? You are the only one.
Kitano Hongming has been sitting on the throne for many years. If those important officials in the court who supported Kitano Hongming in the past could turn to support him, even the Northern Barbarian Emperor would not be able to put all his money into it.
Although the Queen of the Northern Barbarians had been persuaded by the envoy, she felt that instead of taking advantage of Concubine Xin and her son, it would be better to support her own son.
But she was also afraid that her son would hold a grudge and take revenge on her and the Northern Barbarian Emperor in the future.
The Queen of the Northern Barbarians did not respond directly, but asked softly:
"Hongren, can you call me your mother?"
If he is willing, with this initial consonant, at least he will be bound by ethics and filial piety, and he will not do anything too ugly in the future.
At most, it's not that warm and a bit colder.
Bai Xiao smiled.
"Queen, no matter what, you have given me the gift of giving birth, and you have never actively harmed me. You just turned a blind eye. I won't do anything to you."
The Queen of the Northern Barbarians had always felt that she was also a victim, but the words "turn a blind eye" ruthlessly revealed her selfishness! She blushed for a moment.
As a mother, she was incompetent, but how could she admit it? She shook her head and said:
"Hongren, Queen Mother is not what you think. I always dream about how great it would be if I could hear you call me Queen Mother again.
Now, with the blessing of the Buddha, our mother and son can meet again, I..."
The Northern Barbarian Queen wiped away her tears, but Bai Xiao did not accept her affection.
"Although I can't be as loving as your mother and filial to your son, I can support you until you grow old. As long as you can fulfill your mother's responsibility to me.
Of course, if you don’t want to, I won’t force you to do anything, it’s just because of this.”
Although Bai Xiao said firmly, he was facing his biological mother after all.
Is there any child in this world who doesn't long for his mother's care, even just once?
He was willing to seek help from the Queen of the Northern Barbarians, firstly, to achieve his goal as quickly as possible, and secondly, because he wanted to see how his mother, the Queen, treated him.
Hearing the words "This is the fate", the Queen of the Northern Barbarians felt a little panicked for a moment.
If she loses her eldest son and ends her relationship with her second son, who can she count on for the rest of her life?
Besides, Hongren said that he would support her till the end of his life.
"It's all because the queen mother is too impatient. We will have plenty of time in the future to slowly cultivate our relationship.
You can rest assured that the Queen Mother will do her best to help you become the crown prince."
"In that case, thank you very much, Queen."
Bai Xiao was very polite, as if the person in front of him only had a cooperative relationship with him.
Mu Qier, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke:
"Queen, please tell your Majesty that I will be the shepherd of your son, and that I will become husband and wife to the second prince, and the husband will sing and the wife will follow you!"
The Queen of the Northern Barbarians opened her eyes slightly, husband and wife are one, and the husband sings and the wife follows?
Mu Qier means that if the Northern Barbarian royal family accepts Hongren, she will also return with Hongren.
On the contrary, if the Northern Barbarian royal family cannot tolerate Hongren, they will no longer be able to restrain her!
The Queen of the Northern Barbarians couldn't decide for a while whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that her son had such a powerful wife to help him.
After Bai Xiao and Mu Qier finished talking, no matter how upset the Northern Barbarian Queen was, she just lowered her head to her and left hand in hand.
The Northern Barbarian Queen watched their figures disappear, and suddenly felt a sense of change.
In her impression, Hongren was still a little baby who had just learned to take steps.
Now, he has grown into a man as tough and upright as a pine tree.
She really owed this child a lot. Maybe, as Hongren said, it was time for her to fulfill her mother's responsibilities.
The Queen of Beiman also left Jufu Temple, but did not return to the palace directly.
Instead, she disguised herself and went to the residence of her and the prince's closest ministers.
Now that we have to do it, we must cut through the mess quickly and let everything settle before Concubine Xin and her son react!
