Crazy criticizes the empress because she is bent on mistaking Buddhism

Chapter 45: Resolving Heart Knots (Second Update)

Ten years ago, Xie Qingyun didn't see Xie Yan because of suspicion.

At that critical moment, she really couldn't be sure whether Xie Yan came to save her or to take advantage of the situation.

For ten years, Xie Qingyun didn't see Xie Yan because she didn't dare.

Because she could not bear the pain of losing her loved ones again, she simply refused to admit that she still had relatives.

But this relationship that had been closed for ten years was now broken by Tianseng.

Xie Qingyun thought for a while, and felt a little angry again.

However, the warmth from the holding hands quickly melted her anger.

Forget it, who made her want to marry him as the royal husband?

Xie Qingyun was glad that Yi Cheng was by her side at this moment, allowing her to remain calm even when facing Xie Yan.

But Xie Yan was not calm.

"Your Majesty...you have grown so big."

Xie Yan was a little excited.

His impression of her was still that of the little girl back then.

She was well-behaved and always hugged the royal brother's thigh and sweetly called him uncle.

He still remembered that she was only five years old when she returned from victory that year.

His hands are so small that he can only hold one finger.

But he wouldn't let go after he caught him, and made a fuss about him to tell him about the war.

Now that they have not seen each other for so many years, it is really difficult for Xie Yan to connect the Xie Qingyun in front of him with the innocent child back then.

Only the face is vaguely identifiable as a person.

She has become more beautiful than then.She has very similar eyebrows to the former Queen.

The moment Xie Qingyun and Xie Yan's eyes met, they lowered their heads unnaturally and complained softly: "I am no longer a child."

Xie Yan smiled: "Yes. I made a mistake."

She is already an emperor who can lead a country.

He knew that in the past ten years she had done a lot of things that caused headaches for the nobles, but all of them were beneficial to the people.

He also knew that many high-ranking nobles were dissatisfied with the loss of profits and were doing shady things in private.

Because Xie Yan has been running around all these years, specifically helping her deal with the nobles who are dissatisfied with the rule.

It's just that the palm print eunuch named Runliu is handling the notes he handed over.

Every time I get approval, I'm disappointed.

He always thought that the emperor hated him.

Looking at Xie Qingyun's reaction now, I guess this is not the reason.

"Has your majesty read my excerpt?" Xie Yan thought for a moment, then asked about the thing that worried him the most.

Xie Qingyun shook her head and said honestly: "I haven't read it."

Seeing the disappointment on Xie Yan's face, Xie Qingyun felt a little guilty and quickly explained: "It's not that I don't want to."

"I dare not."

She coyly said: "You are my only relative."

"I have made countless enemies in the court now. If I get too close to you, I'm afraid..."

She didn't continue, Xie Yan understood.

He thought about many possibilities, but he never realized that Xie Qingyun ignored him for such a simple reason.

Just because she wanted to protect herself.

Xie Yan said gently: "Your Majesty has forgotten that I am a military general."

Back then, he helped his brother to quell the rebellion in Guangdong and Guangxi and drive away the invasion of Japanese pirates.

Will he be afraid of being targeted and framed?
Xie Qingyun hummed softly: "From now on, I will read all your excerpts myself."

"it is good."

Xie Yan's eyes softened, and seeing Xie Qingyun's expression of not knowing what to say, he took the initiative to speak: "Actually, I have seen what your majesty has done over the years."

"Your Majesty has become a very good emperor."

"If my brother is alive in heaven, he will be proud of Your Majesty."

Xie Qingyun heard it, looked at him steadily, and said after a while: "Really?"

Xie Yan nodded.

Looking at the gentle words of thanks across from him, Xie Qingyun suddenly felt dazed for a moment, as if her father was confirming what she had done.

Somewhat surprised.Because although Xie Yan has the same face as his father, they were still easily distinguishable back then.

After all, the two have completely different personalities, one is active and the other is quiet.

Now that Xie Yan is older, he has become much calmer, and his behavior is more and more like his father.

If my father was still alive, it would probably be like this...

Xie Qingyun's eyes were slightly wet.

Xie Yan was at a loss.

The uncle and nephew were speechless and choked for a long time before they eased their excitement and calmed down.

Finally, their respective knots were untied, and the conversation became much easier.

Xie Qingyun lost her imperial airs and simply looked like a junior facing her elders.

She complained about the unsatisfactory political affairs and the disobedience of the ministers.

Xie Yan nodded and listened, writing down the names of the disobedient ministers one by one.

I plan to settle accounts with their family later.

Because Xie Yan is a vassal king with a special status and cannot enter the capital unless summoned, it may be difficult to directly find those ministers in the capital.

But it is still very easy to find the families of those ministers.

I just heard Qingyun say that there is a man named Cui in the Ministry of Personnel, and his family happens to be in Huainan.

Xie Yan had some plans in mind.

Xie Qingyun kept chatting with Xie Yan until it got dark.

The stage opposite the restaurant has ended long ago, leaving only a lonely flower boat that has not yet had time to sail away.

Because Xie Qingyun ordered the cancellation of the curfew, the nights in Shuidu were still bright, and the riverbanks were bustling with people.

The boats are closely adjacent to each other, and many vendors jump on different boats to sell goods as if they are walking on flat ground.

In addition, the Qixi Festival is approaching, and there are lanterns hanging everywhere on the river bank, which makes the atmosphere of fireworks even more intense and lively.

Xie Qingyun looked at the Cowherd and Weaver Girl painted on the lamp, and the bright stars.

"Now that the imperial examination matters are finished, your Majesty will return to the capital tomorrow, right?" Xie Yan asked.

Xie Qingyun came back to her senses and nodded.

Suddenly some feelings of reluctance arose.

Xie Yan was silent and looked at the sky: "It's late at night, Your Majesty, please come back early."

He had talked a lot with her today, and he was satisfied to know that she was doing well.

Don't ask for more.

Xie Qingyun said oh, stood up slowly, and prepared to go back to Xue Mansion.

After taking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back: "Did your father blame me for what happened back then?"

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment before realizing that Xie Qingyun was asking about Xue Chuan back then.

Because Xie Qingyun opened the city gate.

It turns out that after all these years, she is still brooding about it.

Xie Yan felt distressed and sad: "How could it be?"

"Brother Huang loves you the most, so how can I blame you?"

After hearing this, Xie Qingyun's eyes flashed with excitement, but she soon became disappointed: "You are not the father, how do you know he won't blame me."

Xie Yan stretched out his hand and pointed at his heart.

"Twins are connected by heart, and I know everything the royal brother thinks."

The light in Xie Qingyun's eyes reappeared, as if she was grateful, but also relieved: "Thank you...Uncle Emperor."

She called her uncle.

Xie Yan was a little excited.

She calls herself Imperial Uncle.

"Okay." Xie Yan suppressed the joy in his heart, and watched Xie Qingyun and the monk leave the restaurant hand in hand.

It's been ten years.

He missed his niece for ten years.

Finally came back.
