Chapter 164 Past Events

Speaking of which, it was the love, hate and hatred of the older generation.

Xie Tingzhou had never seen his biological mother.

He once asked the old prince to draw a picture. The prince picked up the pen and thought for a long time, but he only left a picture of a village girl's back.

Xie Tingzhou asked King Beilin why there was only a back view. At that time, King Beilin said that it had been too long and he had forgotten it.

His mother was just an ordinary village woman in the frontier. That year, King Beilin led his troops to pass by, and the river was flooded and could not be crossed, so he had to stay there.

Just like the general and the orphan in the storybook, love came so suddenly, but it was just a glimpse, or just happened to encounter some warmth on the way.

After only three days of companionship, King Beilin led his troops away and promised to pick her up after he led his troops back.

But the war came so suddenly that it lasted for a year.

When King Beilin went to pick her up again, he learned that she had died of dystocia, leaving only the baby son to be raised by neighbors.

The mother who had nothing could leave her child only a bunch of her hair and an inconspicuous bracelet.

Not all people can be faithful to one person, and not all love can be unforgettable.

These few words are the life of that woman.

The woman used a short three days to draw a faint stroke in the heart of King Beilin, so faint that after several years, he could not remember her appearance.

At that time, King Beilin already had a princess, and King Beilin took him back to raise him with the princess.

The princess had difficulty giving birth, and she was still childless after eight years of marriage, so she treated him as her own.

But everything ended when he was four years old.

The princess was pregnant.

She had her own child.

"I didn't understand at that time. The princess always asked me to give in to my brother. I thought it was because my brother was young, and it was right for my mother to love him more."

Xie Tingzhou fell into memories, with a faint madness floating in his eyes.

"Bei Lin was not as peaceful as it is now. The Northern Barbarians attacked repeatedly, and my father often went to war. In the following years, I was almost brought up by Uncle Zhong."

"I have been practicing hard since I was a child, and I have never fallen behind in calligraphy and painting as well as kung fu. I always thought that if I worked harder and became better, my mother would like me a little more, but every time I got just perfunctory, I wondered if I had not done enough."

Shen Yu turned around and put her arms around his waist, burying her head in his chest, "It's all over."

She was so distressed. How did he get through such a long childhood? How did he secretly lick his wounds when he felt abandoned by his mother?

"It's not over yet." Xie Tingzhou tightened his hand around her waist, "Later she finally took action."

Shen Yu didn't understand, and listened to him continue.

He is Xie Yun, he is so dazzling, he has followed the King of Bei Lin to fight, he became famous at the age of fourteen, and the Northern Barbarians on the border were terrified.

When he returned, he thought he would finally be praised this time, but what he got was the strange and vigilant eyes of the Princess of Beilin.

The princess's child grew up, and she began to fear that this nominal legitimate son would take away her son's throne.

She began to send snacks to Xie Tingzhou, and she would send them every day as long as he was at home. Even if he was away on the expedition, she would make some for him to take with him, and told him lovingly that the expedition was difficult and he must take good care of himself.

He cherished this "late maternal love" very much, and received letters from home one after another. Every time, in addition to the reply, he also brought snacks made by his mother.

I thought it was late maternal love, but I didn't expect it to be a poison that penetrated the intestines.

Later, he was injured in a battle, and the Beilu people poisoned the arrows.

He didn't realize until then that he had been poisoned by a chronic poison.

Fate is sometimes so bizarre. The unsolvable poison and the chronic poison he had been taking for many years were neutralized together, and he actually saved his life.

Shen Yu closed her eyes and trembled with heartache.

Xie Tingzhou lowered his head and kissed her temples, stroking her back soothingly.

He looked out the window and said, "She thought I was gentle by nature, but she didn't know that I would never give up."

There was no such thing as a gentle nature. That was the tenderness he left for his "mother".

He carefully held a sincere heart, but in the end he got a poison that penetrated his intestines. How could he be willing?

Seeing that he was still alive, the Princess of Beilin thought that the dosage was not enough, so she added a strong medicine.

That was the last time he, the Princess of Beilin, and her son had dinner at the same table.

He bet that she still had some mother-son feelings for him, and secretly replaced the wine with her own son under her nose.

The result was that she reaped the consequences and watched her own son die in front of her with blood spitting out of his mouth.

"It was then that I realized she was not my biological mother. She said I would not die well, that I should be alone all my life and fall into hell forever."

Xie Tingzhou stared at her quietly, "Is she right?"

"Of course not." Shen Yu looked up at him, "You have me now, you will not be alone all your life, we will live for many, many years, and then have several children, and we will be buried together after death."

Xie Tingzhou hooked his lips, he tore open his scars without reservation, she gave him the answer he wanted, and used herself to heal his childhood scars.

"That means you agree." He said.

Shen Yu did not react, "What?"

Xie Tingzhou pinched her hand with the bracelet, "You said you wanted to have several children with me."

Shen Yu blinked, and felt a little embarrassed after realizing it, and buried her head in his chest, "I haven't told my father yet."

"Tomorrow." Xie Tingzhou smiled and said, "Tomorrow I will accompany you to see him."

Shen Yu nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and broke free from his arms, "My grandmother said that the King of Beilin sent something to Hezhou."

"I asked him to send it." Xie Tingzhou turned his head and shouted to the window, "Prepare the meal."

The lanterns in the courtyard were lit, and the maids filed in.

Zhong Bo was very tactful. Seeing that the prince had driven everyone out, he told the kitchen not to rush to cook, and wait for people to serve the meal before putting it in the pot.

Zhong Bo stood at the gate of the courtyard at this moment, a little disappointed.

Chang Liu looked confused, "Grandpa, why are you sighing?"

Zhong Bo said earnestly: "It's less than half an hour, it's not a good sign."

"Why? Isn't it better to eat earlier?"

"You are a child and don't understand." Zhong Bo shook his head and left, saying: "Tomorrow, I have to let Doctor Yu come to check the prince's pulse. It's really... a little fast. I don't know if he was injured in his early years. I'm afraid he needs to be supplemented."
