Dressed as a tyrant and kissing the little queen

Chapter 285 Ruthless
The night was very dark, and the cold wind blew the lanterns in front of the palace eaves door shaking.

Ling Junxing stood motionless outside the Palace of Mercy for a long time.

When he woke up from the coma, Wei Wuji had already told him everything.

Also presented were the confessions of the old servants of Deng's mansion and the barbarians from the north.

The secret of Yupei, the madness of the eldest brother, the death of Miss Zhong, all the truths that have been pursued for ten years.

In the end, the instigator turned out to be his own mother.

He felt unacceptable and could not accept it.

The pain and hatred that had haunted him for so many years and almost went deep into the bone marrow, suddenly felt a little empty and dazed, not knowing where to put it, even if it was hatred, I didn't know who to hate.

Just like back then, he discovered that the snacks he handed to his third brother were the culprit behind his asthma attack.

The third brother couldn't be rescued, he regretted it, but overheard the conversation between the queen mother and the maid, and realized that it was not an accident at all, but a complete conspiracy.

He became the knife in the mother's hand and the knife that killed the third brother.

The night he discovered the truth was as cold as this night.

The water in the lotus pond of Prince Zhao's mansion was frozen.The waterfall in the viewing cave stopped, and a foot-long icicle fell down the stone wall.

He hid in the stone cave beside the lotus pond, listening indifferently to the shouts of the old steward looking for him.

It was dark and cold in the cave.He was almost unconscious from the cold.

But he didn't want to go out.

It seems that by torturing myself like this, the discomfort and pain in my heart can be reduced.

The guilt and self-blame for the third brother can also be less.

From that night, he realized that the queen mother was never what he imagined, like the kind-hearted, gentle and dignified woman in the Buddhist hall.

It was also from that night that he completely stopped thinking about his mother, and no longer had any unrealistic extravagant demands.

I went to the palace for a routine visit, and since then I have never felt the joy and joy of seeing my mother from the bottom of my heart.

There was only a calmness and indifference that didn't fit his age.

He still respected his mother and had a natural blood connection, but he no longer had any expectations.

He never told anyone the truth about the third brother's death, not even his father.

That incident was buried in his heart forever, and it became a secret that he could not tell others in this life.

This secret tormented and bit him, accompanied by the distorted face of the third brother who was panting violently when he was dying, and became his nightmare every night.

Countless times when I dreamed back at midnight, I woke up in a cold sweat.Countless times, he couldn't sleep all night, and when he closed his eyes, his third brother's face appeared in his dreams.

When he was young, he had hoped so much to gain his mother's warmth from his queen mother.

Then it was disappointment after all.

He thought that what the queen mother could give him was nothing but disappointment.

Unexpectedly, what the queen mother gave him was something much more painful and heavy than disappointment.

The mother's ruthlessness has already gone far beyond the harem, beyond the bottom line and boundaries he can imagine.

All the pain, torment, torture, and nightmares I have endured for ten years.

In the end, it was actually given by the person he thought was closest to him.

How ridiculous.

Thinking about it now, the only bit of warmth he ever got when he was young was given by his elder brother and Miss Zhong.

But the queen mother ruthlessly smashed all of this, destroying the elder brother and Miss Zhong with her own hands.

In the ten years since eldest brother and Miss Zhong had an accident, no one has ever walked into his heart, and he has never felt the slightest bit of tenderness towards anyone.

Only her, Qin Luoyu, was an exception.

But the queen mother ruthlessly smashed the only bit of warmth he had, and sent her to a place like imperial prison.

As the king of a country, he couldn't protect her.

Not only can't protect it, but it can't even give the same harm and revenge to the person who caused all this.

Ling Junxing originally wanted to ask the Queen Mother why in person.

But come to think of it, her status as a princess of subjugation may already be the answer.

So, don't ask.

The love between mother and child in this life is considered to be the end of fate.

After all, Ling Junxing did not step into the Palace of Mercy.

He also did not order the removal of the heavily guarded guards outside the Ciren Palace.

He turned around and walked aimlessly in the palace.

The cold wind of the winter night poured into the robe all-pervasively, bringing a biting cold.

The plum branch next to the flower path caught his clothes corner, he stood still, staring at the red plum on that branch in a daze for a long time under the indistinct light in the distance.

That night when he took Qin Luoyu's hand to send her back to Qiushui Palace, the red plum blossoms were shining brightly under the moonlight.

Now, it is so ruined.

When the wind blows, plum petals flutter down, and Ling Junxing reaches out to catch those petals.

Ling Junxing thought, why on earth did she want to leave?

Is it the punishment of the imperial edict, which made her disappointed in him, and felt that he could not protect her well?

Still, she has never been sincere to him.

As long as there is a little sincerity, how could she abandon him and leave without nostalgia.

Ling Junxing clenched the plum blossom petals in his hand, and crushed those petals bit by bit with no expression on his face, and sprinkled them down.

Qin Luoyu.

He thought, you are also a ruthless person.

If it were him, he would definitely not be able to leave quietly when she was unconscious.

But she just left without saying a word, just left him like this, and walked away quietly.

Yes, it's ruthless.

Ling Junxing slowly pushed open the door of Qiushui Palace, but there was no one inside.

The maids and eunuchs of the Qiushui Palace who were released from the imperial prison earlier were seriously injured, and Eunuch Wei gave them another place to recuperate.

Those with minor injuries were still willing to come back, Eunuch Kui let them come back.

However, the empress was gone, and the maids naturally did not expect that the emperor would come late at night, so no one came to greet him.

Lord Ling walked into the bedroom, and the room was pitch black.

He silently turned on the lamp, stood in the room, and looked at everything in the room bit by bit.

He remembered that when he came here in the past, she would sometimes sit on the soft edge, holding a medical book and reading.

Hearing him coming, she looked up and smiled at him, her black and white eyes reflected the dancing light of the candle, so bright and cheerful.

She put down the book and ran towards him, sometimes holding his hand, sometimes throwing herself into his arms.

Many times, when he came, she was already asleep, her sleeping face was quiet and well-behaved.

He just watched quietly, and all the irritability and gloom in his heart calmed down little by little.

He leaned over and tucked the quilt for her, and put her restless hand back into the quilt.

Then gently place a kiss on her forehead or the corner of her lips.

Such a warm night was nothing but ordinary at that time.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he went to the empty house, and everything disappeared like a dream.

Ling Junxing stood silently for a long time, extinguished the candle with a wave of his sleeves, and lay quietly on the bed.

There is still her light fragrance on the pillow, but at this moment, it adds more indescribable bitterness and loneliness.

He pulled his lips, thinking to himself, she is really a ruthless person.

It's a pity, even if he is ruthless, in this life, he also recognizes her and wants to marry her.

Unless she dies, she can only be his queen in this life.

Even if she died, she could only be his queen in her life.

So Qin Luoyu, I'm afraid you will be disappointed after all.
