Chapter 1124 Dependent Emotions

The crying in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was loud, and the baby cried heartbreakingly.

Liu Yusheng was at a loss for a moment.

It took her a long while to finally get Croton and Hongdou to get acquainted with her again, and before that feeling of joy subsided, the baby cried to pieces.

Croton and Hongdou refused to leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and refused to leave the Queen Mother.

Although the empress dowager did not object to them taking the baby away, she sat there silently without speaking, her eyes were red, this was an attitude.

Liu Yusheng's eyes were red and her nose was sour. She reached out to pick up the crying baby on the couch, but she immediately met with fierce resistance. The baby lay down and kicked his legs and rolled, his two little hands tightly clutching the clothes of the Empress Dowager, unable to tear them apart no matter what. They didn't dare to pull too hard.

"We'll come back tomorrow." Feng Qingbai leaned over, took Liu Yusheng's hand, and pulled her to stand up.

"But--"

Liu Yusheng wanted to say something more, but when he saw that Croton and Red Dou had quickly got up and hid behind the empress dowager, his heart felt as if he had been pinched hard by something, causing a dull pain.

After a moment of silence, he nodded helplessly.

During their absence, the empress dowager has been taking care of the two children. Croton and Hongdou naturally have deep feelings for her, which is understandable.

Now that they wanted to separate Croton Red Dou from the Empress Dowager as soon as they came back, it was too much for granted.

When leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Liu Yusheng was sad.

She followed Feng Qingbai and failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a parent. On the contrary, the Empress Dowager did her best to take care of Croton and Red Dou when they were running around, treating them as if they were her own.

What the empress dowager paid was far from being as simple as a little hard work, and it contained strong and heavy emotions.

Those are not comparable to a little blood relationship.

On the way out of the palace, Liu Yusheng was very silent, Feng Qingbai sighed lightly, and hugged her into his arms, "Take your time, too eager will only backfire."

Liu Yusheng nodded, "I know."

What they owe their two children is nurturing and companionship. This is not something that can be made up for by playing and frolicking with them for a short while.

As Feng Qingbai said, you can only take your time.

Croton and red beans are two fresh little lives, not objects, not what they can do whatever they want. It is precisely because the two children are still young that they don't know how to think too much, so any reaction they make to the outside world is purely based on their feelings.

If they want to bring Croton and Hongdou back, they must pay their emotions to gain their trust and make them rely on them again.

"Actually, I am very grateful to the Empress Dowager. She has paid far more to Croton and Red Dou than our pair of incompetent parents."

"Well, I am also very grateful to her." Feng Qingbai said lightly.

He is a man, and he is more rational and calm when it comes to Croton and Hongdou. But he also couldn't deny the empress dowager's sincere dedication to the two little children, so even if he saw the empress dowager's careful thinking, he couldn't make any accusations.

It was a lonely old lady who tried her best to take care of Croton and Hongdou during their absence. But the relationship between her and Croton Hongdou is not so much a one-sided contribution, but rather that they accompany each other.

It was a heavy emotion comparable to being dependent on each other.

That's why he made concessions today.

It's not that he can't take Croton and Hongdou away by force, but if he does this, it will be tantamount to cutting off the empress dowager's sustenance in his heart, and it will be tantamount to pushing the empress dowager back to the abyss before.

If it was half a year ago, he might have been able to do it, but now he finds that he can't.

The empress dowager is a person worthy of his true respect, and also worthy of his sincere treatment. Now he calls her his mother-in-law without any falsehood.

"Feng Qingbai, I understand." The woman in her arms raised her head, her nose was still a little red, but she smiled at him, her eyes were clean and clear, as usual.

"Yeah." He lowered his head, staring at the woman's smiling face and softly replied. Some things don't have to be said at all, they can understand what each other wants to express.

Shengsheng just needs a little time to accept the fact that Croton and Hongdou may not be able to grow up beside them.

Because compared to them, the empress dowager needs the company of Croton and Red Dou more. The two little dolls have already become the empress dowager's spiritual sustenance to live well, cutting off a person's spiritual sustenance is like taking out her soul. That's real cruelty.

"Go back." Looking back at the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Liu Yusheng sniffed and said in relief.

"Okay." He still only answered one word, but he never let go of her hand from the beginning to the end. Whether the rest of the road is long or short, he will walk with her.

Back to Nanling Prince's Mansion, nothing has changed in the mansion. Even if they are not there, everything is still in order with the housekeeper in charge.

As soon as the two returned, Wei Zi and Liu Ya came to kowtow to report.

At the beginning, the two disguised themselves as King Ningling and Princess Nanling and swaggered back to the capital. After completing the task of confusing sight, they took off their disguise and returned to their positions.

Now that the prince and concubine have returned to the capital, they will naturally report what happened in the past few months.

Fortunately, since Shanlai escaped from Nanling, Beijing has been very peaceful. As for the imperial court, although there are occasional bugs jumping around, there are three big mountains, the veterans of the three dynasties, General Qin Xiao, and the empress dowager. The emperor can suppress it with a backhand.

The current situation in central Beijing, the presence or absence of Feng Qingbai will not have much impact.

All conditions have matured.

After the report was over, Wei Zi hesitated at the end, and said, "My lord, is Wei Cheng going to call him back?"

Feng Qingbo paused, as if nothing had happened, "Let him stay here, and if there is any news over there, send a letter to report immediately."

"Yes." Wei Zi withdrew, never thinking about it from the beginning to the end, the brother who was placed in Xiliang in the hidden guard camp was actually completely forgotten by the prince for a while, and he never thought of this person at all.

Liu Yusheng left Liu Ya behind.

At the beginning, Liu Ya was brought with him to have a greater chance of entering Miaojiang.

But no one expected that Miao Jiang had disappeared a long time ago, so Liu Ya was almost useless and was delayed for several months.

Now that everything is settled, it's time to let him go home.

"Liu Ya, thank you for your help during this time. I didn't expect that it would take half a year to bring you out. You must be homesick, right?"

Liu Ya has the temperament of a little white rabbit, she can be frightened by a little fright, and only in a very familiar environment can she feel safe. If she hadn't been forced back then, she would not have persuaded Liu Ya to go to the northwest with them.

Fortunately, she came back with all her beards and tails in the end, Liu Ya was not affected, and when she sent her back home, she could give Liu Genbo a good explanation for his family.
