witch chaotic country

Although Tan Yaoyu said that there is no need to burn incense to take a bath, Yingyan obviously changed her clothes and was brought in front of Tuoba Tao and Tan Yaoyu after a brief grooming.

Probably because she had already given up her hope of life, and she never thought that she would have a day out of the cold palace, let alone seeing Tan Yaoyu again.

She knelt down on the ground slowly, but she did such a simple movement with great effort, not only her legs, but even her upper body trembled uncontrollably, obviously trying to endure the pain.

Ever since she was thrown into limbo, Tuoba Tao seemed to have forgotten about this person and never mentioned it again.Seeing Yingyan's miserable appearance now, even a person like Tuoba Tao, who never knew how to pity and cherish jade, couldn't bear it.But when he looked around, he found that Yao Yu was still looking at the old man in front of him without changing his face.

There is no touch of not seeing each other for a long time, nor the grief of mutual sympathy.Tan Yaoyu is like this, and so is Yingyan.It was as if two strangers knew each other's names and past.

"My servant, Yingyan, kowtowed at Immortal Fairy. My servant is guilty, please punish Immortal Fairy."

Faced with Yingyan's respectful salute, Tan Yaoyu turned a deaf ear to it, letting Yingyan grit her teeth and knelt on the ground enduring leg pain.It wasn't until the figure of the old mother who came to serve Yao Yu shook that Tan Yaoyu asked calmly, "I ask you, what you asked for at the beginning, have you got it now?"

Yingyan didn't know how to answer such a simple question.She got it, she used to be the envy of all the three thousand beauties in the Northern Wei Dynasty.At that time, she thought that even if Rong Chong was gone in the future, she could spend the rest of her life in the palace with the love of serving Tuoba Tao for so many years.

But who would have thought that the love of a man and the grace of an emperor are all mirages built in the clouds, but a gust of wind can blow away nothing left.

"The servant girl... never regretted it."

After a while, Yingyan gave an answer that was not an answer.What she got by relying on Tan Yaoyu, she lost because of Tan Yaoyu. At this time, Tan Yaoyu appeared in front of her again.But whether it was a blessing or a curse, she didn't dare to speculate.

"You could have kept what you had," Tan Yaoyu sighed, "but in the end you became greedy." Yao Yu glanced at the kneeling man on the ground, "If you keep your maidservant's duty, it will be about the same time Like Tangxi, she is already married and a woman. If you keep your status as a palace servant and can afford a job, you may already be a palace maid at this time, and you won't fall into the cold palace."

"My servant knows my mistake." Yingyan's voice was full of tears.Although she never regretted it, she knew she was wrong.

"Since this is the case... give you another chance, are you willing to defend it with your life?"

Yingyan's face was buried on the ground, and no one could see her expression clearly, but her trembling voice and body were enough to show how eager she was to hear these words at this moment!
"Maid... willing!"

Hearing Yingyan's words, Tan Yaoyu looked at the nanny beside him and said, "Take her down to wash up, and change into the clothes I brought, and I will say a few words to His Majesty. Everyone get back first."

This time, everyone didn't need to look at Tuoba Tao's eyes any more, they all retreated as they said.

Tuoba Tao's face was a little embarrassed, Yingyan was Tan Yaoyu's person, since he accepted her, he should treat her well, but later when Yaoyu occupied Beiliang, his anger could only be vented on the things related to Tan Yaoyu. Yingyan is also one of the many people implicated.

But Tan Yaoyu didn't care that Tuoba Tao accepted Yingyan, nor did he care that Yingyan was thrown into limbo.She felt a little guilt from Tuoba Tao, and turned to use it: "I want to ask His Majesty for a favor."

"You just say it's okay." Tuoba Tao hurriedly said: "But you want to release Yingyan from the cold palace? I'll have someone move her back to her original residence."

Tan Yaoyu shook his head, "Your Majesty has many beauties in the harem, and it won't change anything without her as a concubine."

Tuoba Tao smiled awkwardly again, not knowing whether to answer "yes" or "no", so he asked instead: "Then do you want her to go back to serve you? Naturally, it's no problem. She is your maid .Even if you were once conferred as a concubine, you are worthy of her service as a queen."

Tan Zhaoyu smiled, and said patiently: "Your Majesty, why don't you wait for this palace to finish."

Tuoba Tao nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, you say."

"I heard that Crown Princess Jingmu is happy to have a grandson. I want Yingyan to serve the little emperor's grandson instead of me."

Tuoba Tao obviously didn't expect Tan Yaoyu to have such a plan, he was a little surprised and said, "You want Yingyan to be Jun'er's nanny?"

"Your Majesty, what do you think is wrong?" Tan Yaoyu neither answered yes nor no, but threw the question back to Tuoba Tao without change.

Originally, Tuoba Tao had no such plan, but when asked by Yao Yu, he began to ponder whether there was something wrong.

"Although I intend to let you be the babysitter of the future prince, if you become a queen, you will be a generation behind Jun'er, and it is indeed a bit inappropriate. As for Yingyan... she is still safe and sensible, and it is you again." The old people around you. If she raises Jun'er, the child will be closer to you when he grows up. Thinking about it, he is really a good candidate."

Tan invited Yu to smile, as if he was very satisfied with Tuoba Tao's self-question and answer, and left some leeway to say: "Don't be in a hurry to give her any status, first send her to the Crown Princess to serve her. The emperor's grandson is still young. Prince Mu has only left soon, why don't you leave the grandson with the concubine to take care of him. As long as your majesty sends Yingyan to the grandson, even if you don't make the grandson the prince immediately, no one will try to be the crown prince. .”

Tan Yaoyu's words actually moved Tuoba Tao quite a bit, "Have you heard about Chaoshang?"

Tan Yaoyu neither nodded nor shook his head.For some unknown reason, the ministers of the DPRK and China all requested that Prince Jingmu's posthumous son, Tuoba Jun, be named the new prince.But Tuoba Tao did not issue an edict for a long time, so many people began to speculate whether the candidate for the crown prince in His Majesty's mind had changed.

However, Tan Yaoyu didn't think so. She said softly: "The ministers wrote a letter to ask the emperor's grandson to be the crown prince. They are doing their duty as ministers. The early appointment of the crown prince is indeed conducive to the stability of the court. But your majesty...you Although he is the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he is also Jun'er's grandfather, he just lost his father, at least let his mother stay with him for a while longer."

In the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was an old custom of leaving the mother and leaving the son.Once one of the princes is selected as the crown prince, his biological mother will be given to death and will be raised by a nanny instead.

Although this move can effectively prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics, people's hearts are fleshy. Even the most iron-blooded and ruthless tyrant cannot give up his admiration for his mother. This is human nature.

Tuoba Tao respected Empress Dowager Dou, on the one hand, he remembered the kindness of her upbringing, and on the other hand, he passed all the filial piety that could not be given to his biological mother to Empress Dowager Dou.

Tuoba Tao never told anyone about this secret longing, but he couldn't hide it from the Queen Mother Dou who raised him.

Even Tan Yaoyu learned about it from Empress Dowager Dou's younger brother after he won over her.
