"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Dragon Shadow Guards are all hidden in the shadows, and I don't really like that kind of life. I've even been thinking about raising Shanshui, and then waiting for him to take care of me in my old age. That way, I won't end up like so many Dragon Shadow Guards, who don't have a happy old age!"
"So, I kept daydreaming year after year. When Shanshui turned fifteen, I began to wonder whether I should find him a wife. I wrote a letter to the capital, but what came back wasn't a letter, but the Duke's woman."
"The answer he gave me was the same as what everyone had told me over the years: Shanshui is not allowed to get married. Shanshui's status is extraordinary, and ordinary women are not worthy of him!"
"I'm really not convinced. More than a decade has passed, and I've already treated Shanshui as my own son. Even though I'm delusional, Shanshui's status is noble, and I'm just a small Dragon Shadow Guard, but I just think how wonderful it would be if he were my son!"
"I questioned the visitor. The child is grown up, so why shouldn't he marry? Won't the child have wild thoughts? Marrying a wife and having children is a human ethics, so why? Are they still thinking about showing off the child's status? Marrying those noble ladies who are worthy of him?"
"The man who came only said that he was just following orders."
"Later, I inquired about the small islands overseas, thinking about taking Shanshui to live there. If we sold all our shops and took all our silver, my father and I wouldn't starve to death. It would be best if I could find Shanshui a wife that suits his taste and take us along! What a wonderful life we would have there!"
"In the end, before I could even take action, the Empress's decree arrived. She told me to return to the capital immediately. She said the child was old enough to take care of himself, and she had something for me to do. She only trusted me!"
"Then, I faked my death and went back!"
"For the past five years, I've been working for the Empress, with Madam Xiao acting as her messenger. I helped her find medicine because the Crown Prince was poisoned. I also secretly attacked Concubine Shu's family because the Second Prince seemed ambitious. I also hope that the Crown Prince can get better, because only when he is well can Shanshui live a good life in Xinghua Village."
"This is what I've been thinking about for the past two years. Why did they use the Crown Prince's standards for me to teach Shanshui? Perhaps from the beginning, they knew there would be many enemies in the palace. Just in case, if something happened to the Crown Prince, they could use Shanshui as a substitute!"
"I don't want anything to happen to the prince. I just want Shanshui to be an ordinary hunter in the village, marry a girl from an ordinary family, have children, and live in safety and health!"
"I……"
At the end of the story, Mo Hui burst into tears.
He was wrong, he recognized the wrong person.
Shanshui patted Mo Hui's shoulder, and he felt deeply touched.
His father was just a Dragon Shadow Guard, but what he taught him was definitely not something a Dragon Shadow Guard could know.
In other words, apart from kung fu and reading, his father had to learn everything else first and then teach him.
It is true that he had never been to school, but he dared to say that he was as knowledgeable as the students of Da Qi.
His father's life these years was filled with fear, confusion and misery!
However, it was only at this time that his father realized that the person he had always been loyal to was not the person he imagined.
What a blow this is to his father!
"Why should they? Why?"
Master Li was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
