Chapter 1575 The Last Wish
Yun Dai murmured to herself: "The Emperor of Northern Qi is seriously ill and Xiao Ziye is seriously injured. How long can they... last?"
Tang Yuanyuan stood there, looking a little hesitant.
Zhao Yuanjing said in a deep voice: "Tangyuan, if you have anything else to say, tell me! Don't hide it!"
Tang Yuan Yuan hurriedly knelt down and said: "I dare not hide anything. In fact... the Crown Prince of Northern Qi also found a way to send a letter, which is addressed to... the Queen."
"Where's the letter?" Yun Dai asked hurriedly.
"It's here, slave." Tang Yuanyuan took out a crumpled letter from his arms.
Liu Dequan came over and presented it to Yun Dai.
Yun Dai couldn't wait to tear open the envelope, take out the letter, and read it from cover to cover.
Her face gradually became gloomy and her brows knitted together.
"What did Xiao Ziye say?" Zhao Yuanjing asked, waving his hand to tell Tang Yuan Yuan to go down.
"He said that his father is dying." Yun Dai said softly, "Now he is relying on Yao Shuibi's medicine to barely breathe. He... asked me to go back and see the Emperor of Northern Qi for the last time to satisfy him for the rest of his life. One last wish.”
Although Yun Dai said it simply, Xiao Ziye almost used a pleading tone in the letter, begging her to go back and see her father for the last time.
He said that his father had always been thinking about Mingmin for more than ten years. Ever since he learned that he and Mingmin had a daughter alive, it became his last wish to see her daughter.
The letter paper was wrinkled, and I don't know if there was water sprinkled on it, or... tears.
Yun Dai held the letter and remained silent.
Zhao Yuanjing took the letter and read it again, then looked at Yun Dai's face.
She lowered her eyelashes to hide the emotions in her eyes.
But her frowning brows and lips pursed into a red line were enough to show her inner struggles.
"Diel, do you... want to go?"
Yun Dai looked up at him: "Are you willing to let me go?"
"Don't ask me first, answer my questions first. Do you want to go?"
"I... don't know either." Yun Dai shook her head.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Yuanjing felt a little distressed. He raised his hand to smooth her brow and said softly: "After all, Xiao Yan is your biological father. He is about to die. It is also right for you to see him for the last time. But now the two countries The war has reached its most critical moment, and I don’t trust you."
"What if I decide to go?"
"I respect your decision." Zhao Yuanjing said, "But I can no longer accompany you."
"I see."
The last time she went out, Zhao Yuanjing chased her to the border of Northern Qi. At that time, there was no war between Northern Qi and Da Zhou. Now that Zhou Dynasty has reached the capital of Northern Qi, it is impossible for him, the emperor, to enter the capital of Northern Qi.
Yun Dai folded the letter and put it away, and said, "Your Majesty, let me go back and think about it."
"That's fine."
"Your Majesty, don't be tired, I'll go back first."
Yun Dai left Chengqian Hall.
Bao Xing was waiting outside the palace and hurriedly followed her, saying, "Your Majesty, your face is not very good."
"I'm fine."
Yun Dai said as she walked, "Baoxing, if I want to go to Beiqi, would you like to go with me?"
Baoxing immediately said: "Wherever the empress goes, the slave will go. It is the slave's responsibility to protect the empress."
"Now that Bei Qi is about to be defeated, are you not afraid of danger and not afraid of coming back without your life?"
"Your Majesty is not afraid, so what does this slave have to fear?" Bao Xing said, "My Majesty, when do you want to set off?"
"Why don't you ask me why I want to go to Beiqi?"
