"Everyone has left..." Zhao Ying's eyes curved as she walked forward and snuggled into the man's arms, pressing her face against the armor on his chest without feeling it was too hard, with a look of attachment on her face.
"Runlang... Runlang..." She called out again and again, and the crystal clear water light penetrated his armor like a thread.
"How could you be so stupid as to risk your life to push Zhao Xi off the throne?"
"Does it hurt...Shangguan Shu, it hurts so much."
"I'm really in pain, can you wake up and comfort me..."
"I won't be angry with you anymore..."
Zhao Ying thought that was the end of it, and buried them both together...
At this moment, Shangguan Zhu came over and said softly, "Princess, my elder brother told you to wait for him to come back..."
Zhao Ying was startled and stood up straight.
…
"Hmm~" Inside the huge bed curtain, the little guy stretched his arms and legs, yawned, closed his eyes, and subconsciously called out, "Mom~"
However, there was no trace of her mother around her, and her mother did not come to hug her!
Shangguan Qingyue suddenly opened her eyes and became more awake. She sat up and looked at the bedroom in front of her. [It seems to be Daddy's!]
【Why am I here? 】
Memories returned, and Shangguan Qingyue suddenly recalled the scene before going to sleep. He crossed his arms and said, "Hmph, Third Brother is so despicable. He takes advantage of others in distress. What kind of hero is that!"
[Where are the people? I woke up, why is there no one hugging me? ]
The little girl was a little unhappy. She got out of bed and went out of the room, but didn't find anyone. She simply ran farther and finally saw someone.
"Big Dede! Second Dede! Third Dede! Sister Zhai! Grandfather, Third Uncle..."
The little girl ran over happily, her voice thumping. The others were fine, but Shangguan Dan and the old Duke were stunned, obviously surprised that she had woken up.
After being surprised, a smile appeared on Shangguan Dan's lips.
The eldest brother said that he wanted to defy fate and change his destiny. The three brothers and their father were skeptical, but now that Yue'er had woken up, Shangguan Dan became more convinced. Perhaps, if the gods really were powerful, the eldest brother might really be able to come back!
Shangguan Dan came forward, picked up Shangguan Qingyue, and said excitedly, "Yuer, are you awake?"
"Yeah, I woke up!"
[Hey, why are you all crying and wearing mourning clothes? Did someone die?]
Shangguan Qingyue thought to herself that something was wrong, but after everyone heard her thoughts, their faces became even uglier, which further confirmed Shangguan Qingyue's guess.
Shangguan Qingyue said awkwardly, "Who died?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old Duke burst into earth-shaking howls.
It was like seeing a glimmer of hope when one was in extreme despair, and his emotions completely collapsed.
"Runzhi... my son..."
Shangguan Qingyue's face froze and she looked a little dumbfounded.
Shangguan Dan's chest heaved, and he looked at Shangguan Qingyue with eyes that sparkled slightly, "Third Uncle will take you to see your father!"
As he said that, he carried Shangguan Qingyue to the main hall.
Shangguan Bailin's eyes darkened when he saw this, and he pulled Shangguan Qiyou to follow.
Shangguan Qiyou cried, "Second brother, what are we going to do?"
Shangguan Bailin's childish eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp color. He was a little excited, but he didn't understand why he was excited. A light flashed inexplicably in his mind, and he wanted to catch it, but he didn't.
But he had a strong premonition that as long as he caught it, he could save his father!
When Zhai Jingxuan saw them passing by, she asked Shangguan Chengjing, "Aren't you going over?"
Shangguan Chengjing clutched his chest and sobbed inconsolably, as if he was afraid of witnessing the tragic scene of his father's death. "I won't go..."
Zhai Jingxuan sighed and comforted him, "Shangguan Chengjing, I know you're scared, but you have to cheer up. You're your father's eldest son. Without him, you have to hold up the world. You can't be so cowardly."
Shangguan Chengjing stared into the distance in a daze. After a while, he choked and said, "Yes, I can't let my father down... but I still can't help it..." He cried again.
Zhai Jingxuan was helpless. She hugged Shangguan Chengjing in her arms and said sadly, "I know. I felt the same way when my mother died. But I know I have no right to wallow in grief, and neither do you. Your father died unjustly. The dead cannot speak. The living must avenge him!"
Shangguan Chengjing came out of Zhai Jingxuan's arms, looked at her deeply for a while, then turned around and hugged her in his arms.
The two of them hadn't changed back to their original bodies yet, so it looked a bit funny for the petite one to forcibly hold the tall boy in her arms.
Zhai Jingxuan was puzzled, but then she heard Shangguan Chengjing's voice become more confident and calm, as if he had grown up in an instant and become a man who could shoulder everything. He said, "Axuan, thank you."
"I know how to do it."
Zhai Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, gently pushed Shangguan Chengjing away, rubbed her waist, which had been bent for a long time, with one hand, and patted Shangguan Chengjing's shoulder with the other hand, her eyes clear, "That's right!"
Shangguan Cheng said respectfully, "Then let's go find mother!"
In the main hall, Shangguan Dan was about to enter with Shangguan Qingyue in his arms when he heard Shangguan Zhu saying to Zhao Ying, "I think the princess must have already known. Big brother deliberately set up a trap, risking his life to bring down Prince Ding. The consequences of killing him are something Prince Ding can't bear. Big brother said that the princess will understand when the time comes."
"This is a birthday gift from my eldest brother to the princess."
Even though she had guessed it a long time ago, Zhao Ying still felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard Shangguan Zhu say it. She didn't need a gift like this from him, she really didn't need it!
"Princess, don't feel guilty. This is something that Big Brother had to do. That day, Big Brother found me and Tan Zhi and told us that we were all in the same storybook, controlled by the plot, so sooner or later everyone's fate would be corrected back to its original ending. He couldn't bear to watch you get into trouble, so he wanted to change your fate."
A light bulb went off in Zhao Ying's head. No wonder Yue'er always said "the original version"...
