Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 265 Night Comes Without Dreams
Ye Qingfeng picked up the wine bowl and presented it to his parents: "Today is a rare occasion for us as a family of three to get together. Let me serve a bowl to my father and mother first!"
Ye Guming's face was full of joy, he also picked up the bowl and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten Lan Mei's cooking. I'm very happy today! I can't speak, but I also cooked this bowl!"
After saying that, the father and son looked at each other, smiled, raised their heads and drank the whole drink.
Ma Huilan smiled, but did not speak. She just held the wine bowl and drank it all.
Although the cold wind is howling outside.
The three people in the house were happily chatting and laughing throughout the meal.
Ye Qingfeng glanced at the untouched bowl of rice on the table, with two chopsticks stuck on it, and couldn't help but wonder: "Mom, who is this bowl of rice for?"
Ma Huilan's expression darkened, and she sighed quietly: "That's for your uncle. I'll bring it to him in a moment!"
Ye Qingfeng also suppressed his smile, pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "I'll send him there, and take a look at him by the way!"
With that said, he jumped off the kang with the bowl in hand and strode out of the door.
Ye Guming looked at Ma Huilan and hesitated to speak.
After drinking three more bowls of wine, he grabbed her hand and said tremblingly: "Mei Lan, come back with us! I will take good care of you in the future!"
Ma Huilan was slightly startled, withdrew her hand and said in a low voice: "Brother Ye, we made it very clear last time. There is no possibility between us. I want to stay here to accompany Sanbao!"
Ye Guming's eyes turned red and he said hurriedly: "Then I'll stay with you -"
"Brother Ye." Ma Huilan interrupted him softly: "I accept your intention! But I am not happy at all when I am with you. And I don't want Feng'er to be disappointed again after hope!"
Ye Guming lowered his hands in despair, and begged again: "Then tonight...can I stay...?"
Ma Huilan looked at his hurt eyes, thinking that she had spent countless nights hoping that he would stay with her, but he still turned around and left with the sword in hand.
Now, he no longer has the sword by his side, but he no longer has her.
Ma Huilan couldn't help but sigh, and couldn't bear to say any more, so she got up and left the room.
She walked out of the door, turned around the yard and came to the back hill, where she saw Ye Qingfeng kneeling in front of the grave, staring at the snow-covered stone tablet.
Ma Huilan walked over with difficulty in the heavy snow and stood beside him quietly, carefully brushing off the fallen snow on the stone tablet, with a rare tenderness on her face.
Seeing his mother's expression at this time, Ye Qingfeng felt sad and couldn't help but ask: "Mom, are you still unwilling to go back with us, or are you still unwilling to forgive your father... for killing your uncle by mistake?"
This is a lie told by the Ye couple to their son.
Therefore, Ye Qingfeng always thought that his parents separated because of this, and he never doubted this.
Ma Huilan looked at him lovingly and said softly: "Feng'er, mother has said many things, but you may not understand! Mother can only say that no matter where mother is, she will care about you and love you! Your father will do the same! Mother
I don’t want to go back, not because I refuse to forgive your father, but because I have figured out many things: since I can’t live with the one I love, I can’t live with someone I don’t like for the rest of my life!”
Ye Qingfeng clenched his fists and asked angrily: "My child doesn't understand. Since my mother doesn't like my father, why did she marry him in the first place?"
Ma Huilan sighed softly and asked, "Does Feng'er like the young gang leader?"
Ye Qingfeng's cheeks were slightly red and he lowered his head. It took a long time before he uttered an inaudible "hmm".
Ma Huilan smiled slightly and asked: "Then why don't you dare to express your feelings to her?"
Ye Qingfeng lowered his eyes and whispered: "That's because she is the young gang leader, and I am just her subordinate... and she doesn't like me..."
Ma Huilan said: "If one day, your identities are reversed, and you are the leader of the gang, and she is just an ordinary woman, will you still force her to marry you if you know she doesn't like you?"
Ye Qingfeng was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to answer because he had never thought about this question.
Ma Huilan gathered up her tenderness and suddenly said sternly: "Feng'er, if one day you force a woman who doesn't love you to stay by your side. This will not only harm her, but also yourself! This woman will suffer because of
She will never get the love she loves, but she will hate you deeply! This kind of bone-gnawing hatred will make her pay any price to get revenge on you, can you understand?"
Ye Qingfeng pondered for a long time before nodding: "Mom, kid... I think I can understand."
Ma Huilan looked at his still childish face that seemed to understand, and suddenly smiled, stroking his hair, and said softly: "Feng'er is so sensible! It's too cold outside, let's go back!"
After saying that, Ye Qingfeng quickly stood up and helped Ma Huilan to walk back through the snow.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw from a distance a group of armored soldiers slowly walking up the mountain with their swords drawn.
Ye Qingfeng reacted very quickly, and immediately blocked his mother with his sword in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Mom, this person is not evil! Go and inform your father quickly, and the two of us will escort you down the mountain!"
Ma Huilan, however, looked calm and said calmly: "What is supposed to come will always come, there is no way to avoid it!"
After saying that, she walked around Ye Qingfeng calmly and walked towards the group of soldiers.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Qingfeng immediately turned around and went back to the house.
After a while, the father and son rushed out of the house with knives in hand.
But I saw a bright yellow sedan parked steadily at the door.
The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and the emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, slowly got out of the sedan chair and stood majestically in front of everyone.
When the father and son saw the emperor coming, they stood there blankly, looking at each other, at a loss. They couldn't figure out why the emperor would come to such a remote place.
A white-robed general came over and shouted angrily at the two men: "You are so bold and cunning, don't you know how to kneel down and salute when you see the emperor?"
The two of them came to their senses, immediately dropped their weapons and knelt down.
Ye Qingfeng felt that this man looked familiar. He raised his head slightly to take a closer look, and was surprised to find that the man in front of him was the golden armored guard they met in the woods outside the execution ground that day.
Emperor Yu glanced at Ma Huilan, who was still charming, and said with a faint smile: "Huilan, we haven't seen each other for twenty years. It seems that we are all getting old!"
Hearing the emperor call Ma Huilan this way, Ye Guming's heart sank and he clenched his fists secretly.
Ma Huilan was filled with happiness, lowered her head and whispered: "The emperor's style is still the same, but Huilan is getting old!"
Emperor Yu walked to her side, smiled slightly and said, "Why, don't you invite me into the house to talk?"
Ma Huilan smiled faintly, stood up, and led Emperor Yu into the house.
The father and son were worried. They stood up and were about to chase after them, but the white-robed general stopped him with his sword: "The emperor has not announced that you are all waiting here! If you dare to break in, you will be punished for the crime of assassinating the king and killing the king!"
The two looked at each other in shock. Even though they were worried about everything, they did not dare to make a mistake rashly. They could only look forward to it outside the house, anxious.
The white-robed general glanced at the father and son and sighed secretly.
Immediately, he deployed the golden armored guards to protect the yard, and he walked slowly around the house to check carefully.
This small courtyard is on the mountain, far away from the crowd. Naturally, except for Ye Guming's family of three, no one can be seen.
After Yan Rong finished his inspection as usual, he leaned against a tree and took a nap.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw what seemed to be a flash of red on the roof.
Could there be an assassin?
Yan Rong's heart sank, and he thought quickly in his mind: Are you here to assassinate the emperor?
But the emperor's whereabouts are secretive, and not many people know that he is coming this time.
Besides, facing so many golden-armored guards, coming to assassinate the emperor single-handedly is simply asking for death!
He then thought: Could it be that someone was spying on the emperor's secrets?
Thinking of this, in order not to alarm the emperor, Yan Rong stepped lightly on the ground, jumped up, and flew to the roof. He saw the girl at a glance, lying on the roof and looking through the gap in the house.
Yan Rong was suddenly startled and was about to speak out but stopped.
The girl also saw Yan Rong. She put her index finger to her lips to signal him to be silent, and then continued to look at the situation in the room.
Yan Rong squatted on the roof and hesitated for a long time, then lightly jumped off the roof and stood quietly under the tree, paying attention to the movement on the roof and looking around vigilantly.
Snowflakes suddenly started falling all over the sky outside the house, but inside the house there was a warm fire. The tin kettle on the stove made a roar, and as soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, the aroma of wine filled the room.
There were still bowls and chopsticks on the small table where the three people had finished eating. Ma Huilan quickly put them away, wiped the table clean, took out the wine cup and poured a glass of wine.
Emperor Yu smiled and sat cross-legged on the couch. He did not go to drink, but carefully looked at the furnishings in the room and Ma Huilan's busy figure.
He couldn't help but sigh: "The life between ordinary couples seems to be ordinary, but in fact it is free and warm. How many women in the red wall can only hope for it! Since there is such a stable and beautiful life,
Why bother pursuing that unattainable fantasy!"
Ma Huilan walked over gracefully, sat opposite Emperor Yu, poured herself a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "The people outside the red wall tried their best to get in, and the people inside the red wall tried their best to get out! People are alive.
, it’s just for the breath of your heart, it’s understandable!”
Emperor Yu took out a small bottle and put it on the table, sighing softly: "Cymbidium, don't blame me for being ruthless. It's because you want too much and are too ambitious! I have to consider my country..."
He said it as if he couldn't bear it, but the affection didn't reach his eyes, where there was only indifference and ruthlessness.
Ma Huilan stared blankly at the delicate vial and murmured: "Is he okay? Do you blame me?"
Emperor Yu smiled slightly, but his voice was emotionless: "He is my only prince, and his mother is a noble queen. He has been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child, and has been loved by thousands of people. I'm afraid he can't be better."
Ma Huilan felt happy and sad at the same time, and kept sighing: "Yes, I am of a humble status, how can I be worthy of him calling me mother!"
As she spoke, she drank the wine in her glass.
Emperor Yu looked at her with a faint look and said indifferently: "It's okay if the eldest prince doesn't remember you. You are a meritorious official of Beiyu Sheji. I will always remember your contribution."
Ma Huilan raised her lips and smiled coldly: "What does it matter if you don't remember? When you and I met, I was still an ignorant girl! Now I am an old lady! I have lost too many things, and I can never find them again.
Not coming back."
Emperor Yu looked at the bottle and asked without a trace of emotion in his voice, "How have you been in these years?"
Ma Huilan picked up the bottle, played with it in her hands, and said calmly: "There's nothing wrong with it. I've been hiding for as many years as His Majesty has been looking for me! Fortunately, this kind of hiding life... is about to end!"
Her gentle tone was full of bitterness and sadness.
Emperor Yu sighed and said indifferently: "Don't worry, I will remember your giving birth to a prince, let your family go, and will never embarrass them!"
Ma Huilan slowly raised her eyes and looked into Emperor Yu's eyes.
There was no emotion there except indifference, not even compassion.
She opened the bottle cap, smelled the mouth of the bottle briefly, and frowned: "Cymbidium, thank you, Your Majesty."
Putting down the bottle, she looked up at Emperor Yu and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, can Huilan make another request?"
Emperor Yu lowered his face and said lazily: "Well, as long as it's not too much, I can satisfy you!"
