Inside the House of Duke.
Princess He Xin gently hugged her son who had fallen into a deep sleep. Her pair of bloodshot eyes stared unblinkingly outside the window. The last time she was able to cry out loud was already a few shichen ago. Ji 'er and Lian Qiao were found unconscious and thrown into the small alley in front of the Duke Public House. After confirming that the piece of flesh that fell from her body was still alive and could still breathe, she tightly held it in her arms and could not help but wail on the spot.
She had never been a smart woman. The smartest thing she had done in her life was probably choosing the right husband and giving birth to this pair of pure and innocent children.
But even if she wasn't that smart, when she saw her son come back safe and sound, she guessed the reason. Her daughter, who had always been the smartest and most sensible child, used her own life in exchange for her younger brother.
The funny thing was, as their mother, she was supposed to charge and break through the enemy lines and protect them, but she was useless. She could only hide in the house and cry helplessly.
Useless, really useless. How could there be a mother like her in the world? She didn't deserve it.
So much guilt and heartache crushed her. Princess He Xin's face was wet with a string of tears that fell on Ji 'er's soft forehead. She carefully wiped it away and looked up at Ning Deyuan: "Husband, have I always been your trouble?"
Ning Deyuan sadly reprimanded: "Xin 'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"
He stretched out his arms and hugged his wife and child in his arms. He also had tears in his eyes: "You have done your best. As for Shu 'er, that child's idea is too big. She actually … In the end, it's me who is useless as a husband and a father. I can't protect my wife and children. He Xin, don't worry. Even if I have to risk my life, I will save Shu 'er. I will go to the palace now! "
He Xin choked with sobs: "But, you are also sending yourself to death."
Ning Deyuan smiled and kissed her forehead: "What is there to be afraid of death? When you gave birth to them, were you ever afraid of death? Today, as long as there is a one-thousandth chance of keeping our children safe, I will try. Otherwise, I am a husband and a father in vain. "
"Husband!"
"Don't worry, I'll try my best not to die. Bye." Ning Deyuan hugged them tightly and turned around to wipe away his tears. He pulled out the red tasseled spear in the courtyard and put on the armor bestowed upon him by the previous Emperor, preparing to enter the palace.
Just as he was about to leave the manor, he was stopped by someone.
"Heir of Xiahou?"
Hearing the news that Xiahou Qing had personally come to visit, Princess He Xin was startled. Only when Xiahou Qing stood in front of her did she react. She handed Ji'er over to a servant girl to take care of, and then as if she was finally ready to face some things she had to face, she straightened her numb legs, tidied up her messy hair, and turned around.
Xiahou Qing bowed slightly. Even now, he did not neglect the etiquette ingrained in his bones. "Greetings, Princess He Xin."
Upon seeing him, He Xin's teary eyes shook as she said in a trembling voice, "Are you here to save my Shu 'er?"
"Yes. I have always had some doubts in my heart and wanted to ask you for advice, but I have never had the right opportunity. I don't know how to ask. This time, Shu is in danger and the situation is extremely difficult. If you want to save her, all of us must work together to save her. Only then can we find a turning point. I beg you to tell me the truth without hiding anything. "
Princess He Xin nodded. She took a deep breath and said: "I know what you want to ask. Even if you don't come to me, I will come to you. For a long time, I don't want Shu 'er to be too close to you. You should have felt it. In fact, there is a reason. Today, I will tell you everything I know, those that can be said, and those that can't be said. "
