Chapter 148

The door was gently closed, and because it had not been repaired for a long time, it made the sound of scraping wood. This movement was not big, but for the empty palace, it was enough to disturb the surroundings.
Yuchi Cheng walked forward slowly and gently touched the wooden table. It had been broken when he was a child, but it had been left there until now.
He stared at the corner of the table where the paint had fallen off, his eyes filled with complexity.
Tian Zino looked along his arm, presumably this was another story about him.
Before Tian Zhinuo could ask anything, Yuchi Cheng spoke first, stroking and saying: "I still remember when I was seven years old, I just learned to play with bow and arrow, and I was eager to come to my mother to share my joy. At that time
I shot an arrow at my brother without knowing the seriousness of it, and he was knocked on the corner of the table. At that time, his head kept bleeding, and I was very scared..."
Yu Chicheng feels guilty every time he recalls the scene that day.
"Later, my mother scolded me. At that time, I was young and didn't know what was right or wrong. I only thought that she favored my younger brother and didn't care about me at all. Since then, I rarely returned to the palace, and even paid her condolences.
I don’t care at all.” Yu Chicheng said with a bitter smile.
As he grew older, he tried to understand his parents' difficulties.
"At that time, everyone was telling me that I was a normal child and an older brother, and I should be tolerant to my younger brother." Yu Chicheng shook his head helplessly, "But who knows the loneliness and pain in my heart? It's not easy.
I made a group of like-minded companions, but because of my audacity, I killed them all in the main hall of the palace..."
During those gloomy days, Yu Chicheng had to endure it for a long time alone. Since then, his wanton and arrogant temper has somewhat calmed down.
In Tian Zhinuo's eyes, Yu Chicheng has always been a responsible brother, and his romance and fun have infected everyone in the team.
Who would have thought that a happy person who never seemed to be sad turned out to have endured the bitterness day and night before choosing to embrace the sunshine, and was even willing to give away all the warmth he received.
"Brother Royal!"
Yuchi Cheng held back the tears in his eyes, raised his eyes and saw that it was his imperial brother, Yuchi Xin.
Tian Zhinuo also looked at it together. Judging from their appearance alone, the two brothers were somewhat similar. The biggest difference was that his younger brother looked more like an older brother. Both in appearance and body shape, they were similar.
He is an elder.
Yuchi Cheng was stunned for a moment, but he managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Where is the queen mother?"
"Axin, how many times have I told you to put on some clothes when you go out, otherwise you will catch a cold." The words came from the inner hall, and as the voice fell, a woman in plain clothes hurried out.
After Yuchi Cheng saw the thin-faced woman, his eyes became completely wet.
"Mother, brother is back!" Yu Chixin said weakly, pointing in the direction of Yuchi Cheng.
The moment the woman looked up, her eyes were wet and her heart was suddenly twitched.
Even though she is wearing plain clothes and without any hairpins on her black hair, you can still tell that she is no ordinary woman. Although there is no pink on her face and her thin lips are as light as floating clouds, her figure and temperament are
Then you can recognize her as Qin Yao, the queen of Lanxuan Kingdom.
Qin Yao looked at Yu Chicheng who was standing against the light from a distance, hesitating to speak, not knowing how to speak to ease the embarrassment that they had not seen each other for a long time.
In the end, it was Yuchi Cheng who took the initiative and called out, "Mother."
Qin Yao tightened her throat and responded softly.
"How are you doing?" After all, mother and son are connected. How can a son not miss his mother? Yu Chicheng said this short greeting.
"I'm fine, how about you?" Qin Yao didn't know what tone to use to talk to this child. It's rare to see such a strange mother and child in the world.
"I'm pretty good too." Yuchi Chengcheng couldn't stand the look she sent her and immediately hid.
Yuchixin respected his brother very much. He knew that Qin Yao and Yuchicheng had always had a grudge in their hearts. They always felt awkward every time they met, and he would try his best to mediate it.
"How did the emperor come in? Did the monster outside the door change its defense?" Yu Chixin moved forward and walked forward. When he reached the table and was about to pour a glass of water, he suddenly coughed.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." Yu Chixin didn't want his brother to see him in such a useless state. He wanted to restrain himself but couldn't, so he could only beat his chest with hatred.
Qin Yao saw that he was messing with her body so much. She immediately ran forward and grabbed his arm and said, "What are you doing?! If you want to drink water, I can pour it for you!" Then she filled a glass of water and fed him.
The younger son drank it, and the water passed through his throat, which really relieved Yuchixin.
Yu Chicheng knew that he shouldn't be thinking about it, but this scene really made him very intolerable and jealous.
Yu Chixin stroked his chest, turned back to his brother and said, "Brother, you must be thirsty along the way. I'll get you a glass of water."
Yu Chicheng stepped forward and poured two glasses of water on his own. He handed one cup to Tian Zhinuo's hand and drank the other cup in one gulp. "I can do it myself. You are weak, so you'd better not move around."
Tian Zhinuo stood aside and could directly feel that the relationship between mother and son was a bit strange.
Growing up, Yu Chicheng was like a child without a mother. Even though he was looking forward to entering the palace every day, when he actually got here, all he saw was his mother and his brother getting along, as if he was an outsider.
The sentence he heard the most was, "You must protect your younger brother and the Lanxuan Kingdom, because you are the elder brother and you are the heir apparent!"
No one has ever asked him whether these two identities are what he wants? Or, does he need the protection of others?
Yu Chicheng, who has always been strong, has permanently sealed the weakness in his heart, preventing anyone from discovering it. He even disguises himself with fun, packaging himself into a giant who does not need anyone's protection.
Before meeting everyone in Team 2, Yuchize was the only person in the world who understood this child.
"Brother, cough cough cough...how did you get in?" Yu Chixin always tried his best to get close to his brother.
Yu Chicheng put the cup in his hand on the table, pulled Tian Zhinuo behind him, and explained: "It's her, her name is Cheng Zi. She is my teammate and the person I want to spend my life with."
Only then did Qin Yao and Yuchize realize that there was a stranger standing over there.
Tian Zhinuo immediately saluted and said: "I have met the queen, the little prince, and my daughter Tian Zhinuo, who is Acheng's teammate..." She did not dare to say the second part of the sentence.
The slim little girl is indeed attractive.
Qin Yao looked at the girl intently, raising the corner of her mouth slightly, "She looks like a good girl. Our Cheng is straightforward. If I offend you in any way, please forgive me. He just has an impulsive and irritable temper."
,everywhere else is good.”
Tian Zhinuo was about to answer, but Yuchi Cheng spoke first.
"The queen mother is joking, what is my temper like? How did you come up with it? Do you really understand me?" Yu Chicheng's eyes were full of disappointment.
Qin Yao was speechless for a moment and asked herself, her memory of Yu Chicheng still stayed five or six years ago. At that time, he was indeed impulsive and always caused a lot of trouble.
"You are the flesh that fell from the queen mother's body, how could I not understand you?" Qin Yao always liked to use this sentence to judge Yu Chicheng.
"That's the sentence again..." Yu Chicheng sneered: "I was sent out of the palace when I was three years old. Even if I come to the palace by chance, I still watch you take care of Ashin. How many times have you cared about me?"
When Qin Yao heard this, her heart ached extremely.
"I did cause a lot of trouble when I was young, but which one was settled by you? Without my uncle, I would have been a corpse long ago!" Yu Chicheng's emotions gradually became excited. "You and my father are just the same.
They just gave me this body... No, it should be said that there are also those so-called moral shackles, which make me brainwashed and controlled like a puppet. Every step I take must be for Lanxuan and my brother!"
At this moment, Yuchi Cheng was also driven into panic by her mother, so she took advantage of the situation and said some nonsense.
Among those present, only Tian Zhinuo knew that he had the world and his family in his heart. He was just a man with a sharp mouth and a cruel heart. He described what he did willingly as being forced to do it.
"Yuchicheng!! Did you come back just to quarrel with me?!" Qin Yao's eyes turned red with anxiety.
Yu Chixin didn't want to see this scene the most, so he stood in the middle to persuade.
"It's because of you that I work so hard, like an orphan without a father and a mother! What are you doing hypocritically now?" Yu Chicheng didn't care at all and just wanted to vent his unhappiness.
In this situation, only Tian Zhinuo could persuade him.
"A-Cheng, don't be impatient." Tian Zhinuo took his hand and transferred her warmth to him.
After hearing Tian Zhinuo's voice, Yu Chicheng did calm down a little. He slowly turned around and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
He was indeed impulsive today. Whenever he thought of those obvious partialities in his childhood, he became so angry that he couldn't even swallow a bite.
Tian Zhinuo couldn't bear to see the disagreement between their mother and son, so he stepped forward and explained to Qin Yao: "Queen, please don't be angry. Acheng was just anxious for a moment and failed to control his resentment. In fact, he still has you in his heart, otherwise we
I won’t take the risk to come here.”
Qin Yao raised her eyes and glanced at Yuchi Cheng.
"A-Cheng is a careful and steady man. He can always bring us joy in normal times and help us tide over difficulties in times of crisis. He is such a cool and just person. I like him, and so do the rest of the team.
That's right. You should know more about him now, after all, children will grow up."
Every word of Tian Zhinuo's words pierced Qin Yao's heart.
Qin Yao also turned around, "I suddenly remembered that I haven't finished my business yet, so I have to go back first. You can do whatever you want..."
Yu Chixin knew that she must be hiding and crying secretly again. She had been with her mother for so many years, and she often cried in the middle of the night, missing her son without saying a word.
"Thank you..." Yu Chixin raised his eyes and looked at Tian Zhinuo, "It's great to have you with me, brother... Did you encounter many interesting things along the way to eliminate demons? Can you tell me about them?
"
Yu Chixin longed for life in the outside world. He often sat in front of the window and fantasized about one day being able to protect Xuzhou and slay demons with his brother.
"It's your brother who tells the story! He tells it so vividly~ I'll let him tell it to you right now!" Tian Zhinuo smiled softly, then turned around and poked Yu Chicheng's cheek
