"You and he are both trapped in the Hetu Luoshu. Outside the Hetu Luoshu is the Balance Realm. It has sensed the Sixth Patriarch's aura and is waiting to devour them at any time. This means that neither you nor he can escape."
"However, only when he returns to his position can he recover the River Map and Luo Shu, and only then can your mother defy the will of heaven and change her fate..."
"Yue'er, take your father away..."
"So what are you going to do?"
"Yuer, my world, your mother... is dead..." There was a pool of dead water in the man's eyes.
Shangguan Qingyue slowly opened his eyes.
Shangguan Qiyou looked at her with a distressed look on his face, "Yue'er, why are you crying?"
Shangguan Qingyue didn't answer him, but just raised her hand and wiped away her tears silently.
[Daddy…Daddy…I don’t think he’s that evil…]
The carriage entered the palace.
As soon as they entered the Hall of Brightness, the two learned that their father was going to die. Shangguan Qiyou burst into tears instantly and cried with Shangguan Yiersan.
But Shangguan Qingyue didn't cry. Not only did she not cry, she looked at him curiously, as if wondering what was going on.
This look makes people feel even more distressed and sad.
Shangguan Qingyue is still too young to remember anything. If Shangguan Shu really died, she might not even remember her father when she grows up...
Emperor Jianxi held Shangguan Qingyue on his lap and sighed.
Suddenly, Shangguan Qingyue said to the old Duke: "Grandfather, don't cry anymore. If you continue crying, Daddy will be fine. You'll die if you cry first..."
Upon hearing this, the old Duke nodded and held back his tears, "Grandfather, don't cry, Grandfather, don't cry..."
After perfunctorily finishing her words, she turned around, carried Shangguan Qingyue on her back, and continued crying...
Shangguan Qingyue sighed helplessly, "Why are you crying? Didn't I bring Daddy back?"
The few people who could hear her thoughts didn't pay attention to what she said.
Bedroom.
"Your Highness, as long as the prince can survive today, he will be fine."
Zhao Ying's tense heartstrings relaxed.
She just knew it... She just knew it...
As the imperial doctors packed up their things, they shook their heads and sighed, "The Crown Prince truly has a strong character and a scorching will..."
"Yes, today we were able to turn danger into fortune, and tomorrow we will surely be safe and smooth... This is also thanks to His Highness, Your Highness is really..."
“That’s right…”
The imperial doctors flattered Zhao Ying, but he was in no mood to listen. He turned around and went outside the palace to report the good news.
Everyone was delighted to hear this, and the old Duke cried for joy like a baby.
Emperor Jianxi said this with disdain.
Prince Liang frowned and glanced secretly at Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong was obviously relieved, but then a hint of loss and regret flashed across her eyes.
"Shangguan Chengjing" took a deep breath and thought to himself that Shangguan Chengjing was lucky because his father was not dead.
Shangguan Qingwan immediately said, "Mother, can I go in and see Daddy?"
Shangguan Bailin had already run in.
Soon after, a group of people were about to go in to see Shangguan Shu. Zhao Ying let them go and stood at the door in a daze, his mind still a little dazed.
Until I saw that the hall was empty and only Shangguan Qingyue was left.
Zhao Ying smiled, walked over, and hugged Shangguan Qingyue tightly in her arms. Smelling the warm milk scent on the little baby, her depressed mood gradually calmed down.
"Mother..."
"Yue'er, do you want to go in and see daddy?"
Shangguan Qingyue lowered her head, fiddling with the loose threads on Zhao Ying's clothes with her little hands. After running around all night, Zhao Ying was still wearing Shangguan Shu's outer robe and had no time to change.
"Mother, I won't go..."
"Why?" Zhao Ying was puzzled.
Shangguan Qingyue pursed his lips and said nothing. Zhao Ying guessed secretly until the little one's inner voice came out, "I'm afraid that if I go in, Daddy will be gone..."
Zhao Ying hugged Shangguan Qingyue tightly with heartache, and at the same time thought that Shangguan Shuding had been very good to Yue'er recently, and had completely captured the little guy's heart, so she was reluctant to hate him.
Zhao Ying pinched Shangguan Qingyue's cheeks, "Don't be afraid, Yue'er. Daddy will be happy when he hears Yue'er's voice. Daddy likes Yue'er the most, right? Daddy will never dislike Yue'er!"
Shangguan Qingyue suddenly raised his head. Zhao Ying paused, and the next second, his heart twisted.
The little girl looked at her pitifully with red eyes, and tears as big as beans fell. She sobbed, "Mom, I'm scared... I'm scared that Daddy will be destroyed by me like those doors... Wow..."
The little guy's tense emotions completely collapsed under his mother's gentle comfort, and he raised his head and started crying.
Zhao Ying felt distressed but also amused. The mouth was so wide open that you could even see the little tongue...
"Don't be afraid, Yue'er, mother is here..." Zhao Ying held Shangguan Qingyue and sat down, coaxing her softly. She knew very well that the little girl was just venting her emotions, and it would be fine once the pressure passed, so she didn't take it too seriously.
Thinking that Shangguan Shu was fine, Zhao Ying felt brighter. Seeing her daughter crying in her arms, she felt itchy and raised her hand to gently pat the little girl's mouth.
"Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow..."
Shangguan Qingyue closed his mouth, puzzled.
Seeing that Zhao Ying had stopped moving, Shangguan Qingyue raised his head and grinned, then continued crying, "Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa..."
"Pfft..." Zhao Ying stared at the little guy's angry face and laughed.
Shangguan Qingyue had no choice but to face her beloved mother. Even though her mother had teased her, she still loved her dearly. Shangguan Qingyue tilted her head and snuggled into Zhao Ying's arms, muttering, "My mother is so annoying..."
Zhao Ying lowered her head and kissed him.
…
Shangguan Shu stayed in Guangming Palace temporarily.
Everyone else left, leaving only Zhao Ying and the five children.
Shangguan Qingyue went in to check on Shangguan Shu. Seeing his unconscious father, he secretly vowed in his heart, "When Daddy wakes up, I will continue to take care of him!"
Emperor Jianxi, who was far away in the Yangxin Palace, twitched his eyelids.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Emperor Jianxi asked Prince Shou to be in charge of the case, but after a night of trial, Prince Shou came back and said that the group of people were insisting on the case because they had received orders from Shangguan Shu.
Shangguan Shu was still unconscious, so he naturally could not refute.
Prince Shou, however, didn't believe it. If the assassin was sent by Shangguan Shu, then why was he the one dying? How could he send someone to kill himself?
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Fu touched the knife wound on his arm, frowned slightly, and thought to himself that Shangguan Shu was too cruel and his self-torture trick was too realistic.
His minor injury is not even worth mentioning in front of him!
Didn’t you see that he has already entered the Palace of Light?
Wei Fu was feeling regretful and annoyed when King Liang spoke up, "Was that a self-torture trick played by cousin Runzhi last night?"
Wei Fu gave King Liang a thumbs up in his heart.
Emperor Jianxi frowned, a self-torture tactic?
He had originally planned to reward Shangguan Shu for his service in protecting the emperor, but this...
Emperor Jianxi waved his hand and said, "Continue the trial!"
Dungeon.
More than a dozen people were being held up, their bodies covered with wounds from torture. As soon as the imperial edict of Emperor Jianxi came down, the executioner continued to arrange the torture instruments, and the breathing sounds in the prison gradually became heavier.
One of them was confessed to be the bandit leader.
If Wei Yuan were here, he would probably recognize him as one of the people who killed him...
