With his thoughts, he had already stretched out one hand, gently grasped the softness on one side of hers, and squeezed her every now and then, "There is a couple staying with each other. According to the envoy of Nanzhao Kingdom, lovers have a string of hands.

It means staying together for a lifetime and never leaving."

"..." Bo Liuzhi paused to stop his hand, then took his hand and pulled it down, "Really?"

Her expression couldn't be described as cold, and she was even a little evasive.

Tuoba Yu pursed his thin lips, simply held her blocking hand, and raised it. His cuffs also slid down due to the movement of his hands, revealing the bead chain on his wrist that was the same style as hers.

He stared at her sideways, "Now that you and I wear this pair together, can we stay together for a lifetime and never be separated?!"

The reason why he asked this question, rather, what he actually wanted to know was that he and she wore this thing, which proved his determination to be with her, and now, what he wanted to know was her

determination?!

Bo Liuzhi was in a panic, but his eyes were fixed on the two bunches of crystal acacia beans under their clasped hands.

She was not unaware of his intentions.

But at this moment, she really didn't know how to answer him.

She is no longer... not the same person she was before.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Tuoba Yu's eyes dimmed, but he tightened his grip on her hand, then relaxed little by little, and gently held her little hand in his palm.

After a while, he let go of her hand, walked away from her, walked to the edge of the bed, grabbed the clothes he had prepared for her, walked over, dressed her carefully, then held her hand and walked out.

Bo Liuzhi was stunned and asked in panic, "Tuoba Yu, where are we going?"

"Shouyang Palace!"

Shouyang Palace?!

Bo Liuzhi opened his eyes slightly and looked at his side face questioningly, "Going to Shouyang Palace? What do you want to go to Shouyang Palace?!"

Tuoba Yu pursed his lips and said, "You'll know when you get there."

What the specific matter was, he didn't know yet.

On his way back to Longqi Palace in the next morning, he met the eunuch from Shouyang Palace. He only said that the Queen Mother had something important to tell him, but did not mention what it was.

"..." Bo Liuzhi frowned slightly and remained silent.

Tuoba Yu glanced sideways at her, took her hand and squeezed it comfortingly, "I'm here..."

Bo Liuzhi still had some doubts in his heart, but he still responded softly, "Yeah."

—————————————————————————————————————————————

Shouyang Palace.

Today, the Empress Dowager was wearing a brown-green brocade robe and was sitting on a high seat. Although there was a slight smile on her face, her sharp eyes full of fine lines were calm. She held the hand of the person sitting next to her and spoke in a serious tone.

Wen Wen said, "Lan'er, you look haggard, you should pay more attention to rest."

Wen Xinlan stayed at Chaohui Palace all night. After learning from Lord Loulan that Lian Qing wouldn't wake up for a while, she returned to Wening Palace. She didn't want to be summoned to Shouyang by the Empress Dowager's cronies before she arrived at Wening Palace.

palace.

How can you expect to be in a good state if you stay up all night?

Wen Xinlan's heart suddenly changed, and she took advantage of her plan. There was a touch of sadness in her eyes, and her expression was also a little sad. The corners of her mouth turned bitterly, "Grandma Huang, Lan'er is fine. You and Yu are the ones, please pay more attention to your health."

It was obvious that Tuoba Yu was not in the palace at this time, but she deliberately mentioned it, and her intentions were evident.

The Queen Mother naturally understands her thoughts, but it's a pity...

He sighed slightly and patted her arm, "Lan'er, there are so many good men in the world. With Lan'er's virtue and beauty, she will definitely marry a good man. She will be devoted to Lan'er for the rest of her life."

"..." Wen Xinlan's heart tightened, her eyes shrank nervously, she bit her lip and looked at the Queen Mother, "Grandma Huang, I..."

"Lan'er, it would be nice for the Ai family to see Lian Qing. You might as well..." The Queen Mother suddenly interrupted her and mentioned Lian Qing. Wen Xinlan was shocked, "Grandma Huang, Lian Qing is right for you..."

"Lan'er, Lian Qing is the grandson of the Ai family after all." The Queen Mother once again interrupted what she was about to say.

And even if she doesn't listen to what she wants to say, she can still know her thoughts.

Lian Qing hated her and she couldn't stop him.

Although she does not favor Lian Qing, she is still a descendant of the Tuoba family and is connected by blood.

What's more important is that Lian Qing took the initiative to find her in Shouyang Palace yesterday and had a frank and candid chat with her...

And his purpose is very clear, that is, he wants her to get married, and the target is naturally him and Lan'er.

Secretly, she thought that Lan'er's final destination would be Yu'er, and she also wanted to help her sit on the throne of queen.

But as she got older and her energy was limited, she felt that she was no longer capable.

She looked at her Yu'er's devotion and exclusive love for that woman, and after five years of separation, the love between her and his grandparents had almost disappeared.

Now, that woman is a queen and has given birth to two lovely children for her Tuoba family.

She had no reason to object, and she didn't want to object anymore.

In fact, she had decided to accept the woman under the daily visits of the two cute little guys.

So when Lian Qing asked her to give Lan'er to him, she agreed without much hesitation.

And the moment she agreed to Lian Qing, she saw relief and unprecedented gratitude in his eyes.

For a moment, she seemed to feel that his hatred for her had quietly let go.

Moreover, her heart relaxed a lot because he didn't hate him, and the idea of ​​​​wanting to give him some good love arose spontaneously.

Apart from anything else, even those bad experiences were mostly caused by her, and she always felt guilty towards that child.

Therefore, if Lan'er married him, she could not only comfort her senior brother who was alive in heaven, but also make the child feel comfortable, so she began to look forward to this marriage.

Wen Xinlan was thoughtful and knew her plan from her words.

Her mind was in a mess, she shook her head and held her hand nervously, "Grandma Huang, Yu is the only man Lan'er has ever loved. No matter how good others are, they are not him after all..."

The Empress Dowager's cheeks sank slightly, and her voice became colder, "Lan'er, I won't repeat what happened eight years ago. I just want to ask you, if Yu'er is not the emperor now, but just an ordinary citizen.

, would you still say something like "I have to do it with him?"

She chose to forget what happened eight years ago, not because she didn't mind, but because she promised her senior brother to treat her well and treat her well.

She owed her senior brother and...

That's why she doesn't care about what she did eight years ago.

And the best thing she could think of was to help her ascend to the most noble position in the world, the position of queen.

But now Yu'er obviously won't accept her anymore.

For her promise, and because Lian Qing's love for her was known to everyone, she believed that marrying Lian Qing was undoubtedly the best choice given the current situation.

Wen Xinlan's face suddenly turned pale, her lips moved, and she was speechless.

After all, she couldn't be forgiven by everyone for what she did before, so doesn't she deserve that man's favor now?!

When the Empress Dowager saw this, she couldn't bear it and sighed, "Lan'er, the most important thing in a woman's life is not how noble her status is. The important thing is to have a good man who cherishes you as much as her life, a good husband, even Qing Qing's treatment of you

I believe that even if Grandma Huang doesn’t say it, you know it in your heart. If you marry him, he will definitely treat you well."

"..." Wen Xinlan lowered her head, her beautiful eyes flashing lightly.

good?!

He is fine, but she is not!

She said that the person she, Wen Xinlan, was going to marry would definitely be the most noble man in the world.

No matter how good other people are, they are nothing in her eyes.

If this life fails to meet her expectations, she will definitely not let it go.

Wen Xinlan closed her eyes deeply and put away her suspicious emotions. Tears overflowed in the blink of an eye. She looked up at the Queen Mother and said softly, "Grandma Huang, Lan'er knows that Lan'er is confused, but

Lan'er knew she was wrong. The reason why Lan'er didn't dare to return to the palace for three years was because she felt guilty.

But I really love Yu. If it is because of this reason that I can't be with him, Lan'er also admits it. After all, it is my own fault and I can't blame others. However, Lan'er begs Grandma Huang not to put Lan to death.

If my son marries someone else, Lan'er would rather become a monk and never marry..."

"Nonsense!" the Empress Dowager scolded, with a look of displeasure on her face, and angrily staring at the tears on her face, "My parents are the ones who bear the brunt of my body, and we cannot tolerate doing anything random."

Wen Xinlan sobbed and looked very pitiful.

Seeing her aggrieved look, another face could not help but appear in the mind of the Empress Dowager. She felt unhappy and was about to open her mouth to comfort her.

A slightly shrill voice suddenly came from outside the hall, successfully interrupting what she was going to say next.

"The Emperor has arrived, the Queen has arrived..."

Immediately afterwards, the figures of Tuoba Yu and Bo Liuzhi appeared in front of the door.

When seeing Wen Xinlan and the Empress Dowager's appearance at this time.

Tuoba Yu narrowed his eyes, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

After all, this was the first time he had ever seen his grandmother treat this junior whom she loved very much with a black face.
