In the evening, Ella came to Su Mu's bedroom. Seeing him staring at the moon outside in a daze, she couldn't help asking with concern: "Mu'er, I heard that you didn't eat dinner today. What happened?"

Su Mu stood up quickly when he heard the voice, and said respectfully, "Mom, why are you here?"

"I think my son will come and see, do you need another reason?"

Ella smiled kindly.

After the chaos in the cave, the relationship between mother and son became closer.

"Mu'er, does it have something to do with Qin Yulan's coming today?" Aila blinked and said the name calmly.

"Mother! You said it's impossible for two souls to live in one body?" Su Mu asked blankly, with a rare perplexity on his face.

He has received the education of the future kings since he was a child. Although he looks like a handsome young man with a handsome face and a handsome face, he is straightforward in dealing with problems in practice and never drags his feet.

Especially now that he is acting as the acting king, he has always been majestic and upright. It is estimated that such childish questions can only be uttered in front of his mother!
"Sometimes what the eyes see may not be true. If you have doubts, why don't you check it?"

"Mother, you are right! Since you can't convince yourself, you must find the answer as soon as possible!"

Su Mu suddenly became enlightened. Although his conjecture was somewhat unreasonable, he always believed in his own judgment. He is a person with a bottom line, otherwise he would not have learned the truth of the matter and not only did not blame Qin Yulan indirectly. It caused her father's death, but she really treated her like her own sister.

Since she is his younger sister, no matter if this is her real face or there are some unspeakable secrets, he has to make it clear.

"Mu'er, let's sit with mother!" Ella's temperament has indeed changed a lot, and she has become much gentler. Su Mu also knows that she is probably not only visiting today, but also has something to say.

The mother and son came to the soft couch by the window and sat down. Su Mu poured the tea automatically, and Aila looked down from the open window beside her. There was nostalgia in her eyes, but more firmness.

"Mother, what are you looking at?" Su Mu looked at Ella curiously.

"Mu'er, I have lived in this palace for more than 20 years since your father ascended the throne, and I have never left. I almost forgot what the outside world is like!" in his own memory.

"Then, does mother want to leave?" Su Mu was a little apprehensive, carefully observing the expression on Aila's face. Although he had always been determined to return all this to Qin Yulan, he really hadn't really thought about it when facing this topic. He had to have a good chat with his mother, so at this moment he was not sure at all.

Aila smiled, and did not answer his question directly. Instead, she turned her eyes away from the view of the palace wall outside and looked at Su Mu: "Maybe it's because I'm getting old, and I always think about the days outside the palace. , At that time, your father and I were married not long ago, and we were both coquettish people who stretched out our clothes and opened our mouths to eat, so, in order not to cook, we always ate in hotels outside, but the two of us were picky and always looked for I didn’t find a very satisfying place, so the greatest joy for the two of us at that time was to tell each other when we were eating, and I found out where there was something delicious.”

When Ella said this, her face showed infinite longing, and then she continued to tell: "During those days, we almost tasted the entire hotel in the capital of Yingjituo. I thought your father and I were living like this. Idle days are not bad, after all, the family background is there, so you don’t have to worry about food and clothing! However, everything changed later! Your grandfather passed away suddenly, and without any warning, the throne was passed on to your uncle, that is, Qin Yulan Su Lie, the father of your father, you will know what happened afterwards. The royal family is divided into several major forces, most of whom support your father, the eldest son of the emperor with pure blood. I took their advice with all my heart."

As Aila spoke, her eyes were already flushed. Su Mu was about to get up to appease her mother. Aila stopped him, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, then put it down and continued to say to him: "Mu'er, mother told you These past events are to let you know that your father was not a vicious man who murdered his brother and seized the throne. As a member of the royal family, it is not easy to be alone? Perhaps death is a kind of relief for him. After all, he killed himself since he was a child. The elder brother who has grown up also needs to bear a lot of pressure! But~"

Ella changed the subject and looked at him seriously: "But now you have the opportunity to escape from all these shackles. Mother hopes that you can make a good choice and choose the kind of decision you will not regret. As for mother, you don't have to worry at all. Your grandparents are gone, and my natal family's property alone is enough for mother Huo Huo to live for a long time!"

Ella didn't forget to laugh at herself at the end.

Thinking about it, in fact, they have much more than ordinary people. They have no worries about food and clothing since they were young, and they don’t have to worry about livelihood issues. They choose to give up such a leisurely and comfortable life, and devote themselves to the intriguing battle for royal power, exhausting themselves every day.

Now she has already seen it, she doesn't need his son to achieve much, as long as he is safe, healthy and happy!
"Actually, I am not greedy for the high throne. I just enjoy the sense of accomplishment of being able to do something for the people! My father has raised me as his heir since I was a child. When I was young, I was dissatisfied and envied my sister's freedom , it was only when my father and I went out to inspect and saw the scene of local people thanking Dade that I suddenly realized what the meaning of this position is! So I accepted it sincerely and regarded it as a part of my life! Although It's a bit unexpected to give up the throne, but it's not that I'm reluctant, the only thing I'm reluctant about is that I can't do anything for the people anymore!"

Su Mu is not a person who is good at expressing himself, and since Su Yun was born, Aila has put all her thoughts on her daughter, so she seldom gets close to him. It is only now that she realizes that her son has such a strong personality. With grand ambitions, great pride and deep guilt surged in my heart instantly!

Aila subconsciously said, "Mu'er, you are actually a very competent king. My mother has also seen that these days, if you are in power, you will definitely govern better than your father at that time!"

"Mother!" Su Mu's expression suddenly became serious, "Whether I do well or not has nothing to do with whether I am a king or not. If something is wrong, I did it wrong. Even if there are thousands of reasons, it cannot be an excuse. This position , it belongs to the uncle's family, so it should be returned to Yulan!"

Ella glared at him alone, and retorted displeasedly: "You child, mother just sighed, do you think I have any other thoughts? Mother is old and doesn't want to make trouble, but live a comfortable life and wait It's easy to hold a grandson!"

Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at his mother with some embarrassment: "Uh, it's my son who is stupid and misunderstood you. Don't worry about it!"

"Okay, you came out of my stomach, I don't know what you think! Haven't you already decided whether I promise or not? Isn't the palace already rushing to make the clothes and crown worn by the queen when she ascended the throne? "Ella has already given up the dignity of the previous queen, just like an ordinary mother would tease her son.
