This time, the male protagonist really kept his promise and let her go back to the Qingguo Palace.
But what greeted her was a closed door.
Zheng Xiyao stood at the door in a daze, with mixed feelings in her heart. For a moment, she felt stagnant.
After a long time, the door slowly opened, and a tall and familiar figure appeared.
The young man stood tall and tall, looking at her warmly and opening his arms: "Yao Yao, welcome home."
Zheng Xiyao's eyes instantly turned sour, and she threw herself at the man, hugging the young man and crying: "Oh, brother, I'm back."
Zheng Siqi was stunned. He didn't expect that his sister, who was not afraid of anything, would shed tears when she saw him crying, as if she had been greatly wronged.
"Okay, okay. You're so old and you're going to be the queen soon, but you're still crying like you were a child. Huh?" Zheng Siqi petted Zheng Xiyao's head and said softly.
Zheng Xiyao was embarrassed and deliberately rubbed herself in Zheng Siqi's arms. Then jumped out of his arms and walked straight forward.
Suddenly, Zheng Siqi shouted angrily from behind: "Zheng Xiyao, what have you done?" The man couldn't help but look at his chest, which was wet.
Zheng Xiyao raised the corners of her mouth and walked into the Duke of Qing's mansion unhurriedly.
"Daddy is waiting for you in the study. Don't keep him waiting." Zheng Siqi called after her.
Zheng Xiyao paused, and her back looked heavier.
study.
The old man seemed to have been waiting for a long time. After seeing her, he slowly said:
"came back."
Zheng Xiyao nodded slightly, then walked to sit opposite him and said softly:
"Father."
When Duke Qing Guo heard the word father, his body trembled, then he stood up slowly, bowed and saluted: "Old minister, I have seen Concubine Chen."
Zheng Xiyao's heart ached, and she helped Duke Qing in panic: "Father, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
Duke Qing blocked her hand and insisted on saluting: "The courtesy between the king and his ministers cannot be abolished."
She did not stop him, because Zheng Xiyao knew very well what Duke Qing Guo meant: at this time, he was paying homage to 'Concubine Chen', not Zheng Xiyao.
When Duke Qing Guo finished the ceremony, Zheng Xiyao knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Duke Qing: "I beg your pardon for the unfilial daughter Zheng Xiyao."
After a long time, Duke Qing spoke in a hoarse voice: "Wrong? Where did you go wrong?"
"A daughter should not be so arrogant and so self-righteous that she associates with traitors and implicates the Duke of Qing."
"Snapped!"
There was a loud noise, and the Duan Inkstone on the desk flew past her and shattered.
"Is this what you understand after going through so many things? Is that what you said was wrong?"
"Father…"
"What did I tell you? The struggle for imperial power is so cruel. Becoming the supreme position is not something ordinary people can get, and you have to get involved in this crisis." Qing Guo Gong gasped and pointed at Zheng Xiyao: "But even if you want to If so, why don't you tell your family?"
"I just don't want you to lose your mind."
"Yao'er, you still don't understand. My father is not blaming you for doing these rebellious things, but because you wanted to do these things even though you knew there would be danger but didn't tell your family. Your grandmother's condition worsened because she was worried about you. , I’m still bedridden now.”
"Sorry, I.."
"You want this position, tell me, I will help you, and the entire Qingguo Palace will help you. But you have never said what you really think. But you have made us worry all the time, worried that you will be injured, worried The future of the entire Qingguo Palace. Yao'er."
"Daddy!" Zheng Xiyao couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, hugging Duke Qing's legs and burst into tears.
Duke Qing knelt down and patted her shoulder gently: "It's okay, Yao'er, daddy is always here, Duke Qing's house is always here."
"I was wrong, Daddy. I know I was wrong, Daddy." Zheng Xiyao cried loudly: "I always want to go home, but I have no choice. I can't come back, wuwu, I can't come back."
"Silly boy, daddy and your brother have been waiting for you here. You can come back at any time."
At that moment, Zheng Xiyao's accumulated grievances, unwillingness, and fear all poured out. She threw herself into the arms of Duke Qing, crying hoarsely.
