Chapter 51 Queen Mother

After leaving her mother for a long time, there was an indescribable joy in her heart. After she looked at her mother carefully, she found that she had not changed at all in the past two years. Her face was still the same, and the vicissitudes of life were not fully revealed on her mother's face. However, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes could not hide her age at all. People who have experienced most of their lives, there are always some marks left behind by some years, which are the wrinkles hidden between their eyebrows. These are the years that have witnessed a person has gone through. She raised and grew up, watching her grow into a graceful girl little by little. This is the life that a woman has to experience, straight To the white hair.

Li Luo looked at her, looking at the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, and the white blue silk on her head. Her heart suddenly felt sad, and the corners of her eyes were uncontrollably moist.

Queen Yue's queen drank two large cups of water. It seems that she is really thirsty. When people are more thirsty, the water they drink will also feel as sweet as nectar. She put the cup aside, restrained her face, and corrected her posture. Her mother's unique loving and warm hands, held Li Luo's white and tender hands tightly, and her mood seemed a little excited: "Li'er, my mother finally found you. That's great."

Li Luo looked at her and held her hand tightly and asked doubtfully, "Mother, what's going on?" Why did you come to the city to find me? And, Queen Mother, didn't you always like the service of the Central Plains? Why did you wear it today? What's the matter?

"Li'er, I... Mother..." In the face of a series of questions, she didn't know where to start, and she was so anxious that she even stammed.

Looking at his mother's anxious look, Li Luo's heart became more and more anxious. Looking at his mother hesitated for a long time, he thought that maybe he had asked too many questions for a while, so he slowly spoke, held his mother's hand with both hands and comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, say it slowly and tell me what you know from the beginning. Take your time and drink some water first." Li Luo took the opportunity to pour a glass of water and handed it to her. She took it, but she didn't drink it anymore. She stabilized her mood and gently dropped the cup in her hand on the edge of the teacup.

Li Luo looked at her mother sitting in front of her, and she looked at Li Luo and said, "Li'er, my mother came to see you this time to ask you something."

Li Luo became more and more curious. Looking at the queen's solemn expression, there was a trace of uneasiness in her heart. Her mother could come thousands of miles from the Yue family. It was a long way, and there was a war. Thinking about it, she must have suffered a lot on this journey.

Queen Yue looked at Li Luo and said, "Li'er, do you also know about the war between our two countries?"

Li Luo nodded. Every person in the city knows such an important thing. How can he not know it?

"Your father and your husband, in the first battle, your father originally won. That night, our whole family was very happy. Because of the first battle, your father easily forced back the army of Minyue and killed them to hide in the city. The victory of the first battle made the people happy and proud. Originally, they thought that Minyue was The strength of your father can't be compared with your father's strength at all, and it can't be matched, so he thinks that they are simply vulnerable. Compared with a few days, they will surrender to the city, however"

Queen Yue paused and continued to say, "However, it was precisely because she underestimated the enemy and was proud that they were drunk one by one, which gave Min Yue an opportunity to take advantage of it. I received news from the front line that our army was attacked that night and the whole army was destroyed. ".

When Li Luo heard this, he was secretly shocked. It turned out that the war that day was actually like this?!

"And your father, fought to the end, but after all, it was difficult to beat the four hands with two fists. No matter how brave and good your father was, he was finally captured into the city by them. Therefore, our Yue family, without the leadership of your father and the protection of the army, stepped on the iron horse and began to slaughter the city. Every time they went through a city, there was a Seeing the killing of one, their extremely ferocity made our people and people fall into a pool of blood. Along the way, I saw millions of corpses and thousands of thousands of bloodshed. After listening to Li Luo, he seemed to be in it. He seemed to see his own people in front of him. The people were lying in the beautiful desert, but they died tragically.

Her heart suddenly tightened, and the pain overflowed her chest. The last thing she didn't want happened.

After listening quietly, she held her mother's hand tightly, but found that her hand was extremely cold, as if there was no temperature.

"Don't worry, mother, if the father is captured by Luo Mingyue, he will definitely still be in this city. Mother, don't worry, if the father is really in his hands, then I will rescue him by any method." She clenched the hand of the Queen Yue again, trying to give her warmth and comfort her. Hearing that Li Luo promised her, the queen was nervous and frowned tightly and finally restrained her eyebrows.

Li Luo suddenly remembered something and asked nervously, "Now, the war is chaotic, and the Yue family has been slaughtered again. What about the sister? How is your sister? Why didn't she come with her mother?

Li Luo thought of his sister who was as soft as jade, and there was a bad omen in his heart. Don't be as good as you think.

"Your sister, I asked her to stay in the palace until we returned to the palace. Today, the army of Fujian and Vietnam has not captured our last city, so your sister is not in danger for the time being."

"But the mother, in case she can't protect the city and resist the army of Fujian and Vietnam, then her sister will be in danger at any time, and even her life will be in danger." Thinking about this, she became more and more uneasy. As long as she thought of her sister's safety and her father, her heart was tightly tied together, which made her a little clear. Don't be angry.

"So, Li'er, we don't have much time left, and the mother has to go out of the city to find you. In order to avoid attracting attention, the mother can only try to make herself look simple and simple, so that they can't doubt it. This is the opportunity to come to you. Li'er, time is tight. Please take your father as soon as possible. Save it, this, just be your mother, okay?" The queen's face was embarrassed, and every sentence was pleading.

"Mother, don't say that. As a daughter, how can I watch my father die tragically in the hands of others and save my father? Now that I know, even if my mother doesn't say it, I will do my best to save my father."

Li Luo's firm words made Queen Yue's eyebrows slightly.

It's just that where will Luo Mingyue hold his father? Li Luo frowned slightly.

Li Luo looked at her mother's slightly haggard face. There was a saying that she had always wanted to ask, but she was suffering.

The queen seemed to see Li Luo's hesitation at this moment, motherly concern, and asked softly, "Li'er, what's wrong? If you have something to say, you can talk to your mother."

Li Luo settled down and asked, "Mother, Li'er has always had a question to ask you."

The queen nodded and agreed.

"Mother, this war, my father picked it at this time. Has it been planned for a long time?"

The queen's body paused slightly, and her eyes wandered, as if she was running away from something. Her haggard face was also a little stunned. Her palm kept a cold sweat, and she quietly pulled away from the palm of her hand.

"Mother, before the war between Min Yue and Donghu, Luo Mingyue borrowed troops from his father but didn't get any news. After waiting for a long time, Luo Mingyue took his army to fight against Donghu before saving his daughter. The mother and his father should know these things, right?" Li Luo asked tentatively.

The queen's whole body seemed to tremble, and her hands became colder and more uneasy, and her face looked embarrassed.

She still didn't say anything, which aggravated the doubts in Li Luo's heart.

"Although I know that Luo Mingyue's real intention is nothing more than to use me to achieve his goal, my daughter still can't understand whether it's because his father and mother don't know anything about it, or because his father and mother don't care about my daughter at all..." The separation mood seemed a little excited. The speed of speech continued to accelerate, as if to vent the unhungry in his heart.

"Li'er!" The queen shouted and interrupted what Li Luo wanted to say, with a faint anger on her face.

In the room, after a moment of silence.

"After the mother, Li'er can't deceive herself. At the end of the war between Fujian and Vietnam and Donghu, whether it is military spirit or military strength, they will definitely be affected by this, but the father chose this time to make trouble for Minyue. Li'er thought, this would not be a coincidence, right?"

The queen still remained calm and silent.

"Mother, do you know? When I heard the news, my father suddenly attacked and led the troops to fight against Minyue. I almost doubted whether I had heard it wrong. Obviously, there was my own daughter here. Obviously, the enemy facing the father was his son-in-law. Obviously, we were a family. I never thought that one day we would be on the battlefield, obviously a family, but If you want to fight with each other, you will be killed or killed."

"Queen Mother, have you ever thought about how much disaster this war will bring to the people? Where do you put your daughter? Now, we are defeated and lost. Otherwise, when our clan steps on this land on an iron horse, does the Queen Mother really care about her daughter's life and death at all?"

Li Luo looked at the queen and continued to say, with many doubts in her heart, but more was heartache. She was afraid that even her close relatives around her would use her as a bargaining chip. She had been cheated by Luo Mingyue for two years. She had been injured all over her body. She didn't want to love herself the most. Her relatives are cheating on her. She can't bear more pain anymore. Now, she just wants to seek answers.

"Queen Mother, if there is really something wrong, please don't hide it from your son, okay? In the past few days, Li'er has been thinking about it and always feels that there must be something in it. You have been hiding it from Li'er. Today, can you please ask your mother to tell Li'er about the reason for all this so that Li'er can fully understand.

Li Luo Yin Yin said what he thought in his heart, and his eyes were sad and confused.
