Chapter 370 Princess, something terrible has happened!
These words, like a thunderbolt, woke Chu Jin up.
He suddenly came back to his senses, looking at the little guy in his arms who was laughing happily, and touching the brocade that only appeared in the Nanzhao Palace, his heart suddenly surged with ecstasy, and his voice trembled uncontrollably:
"That's right, that's right! Soul Slayer, this, this is my son! It's Yue'er, the Chu Yue I think about day and night!"
At this moment, he finally understood——
It was Manluo, it must be her who came, she was the one who brought their son to him!
Chu Jin's ecstasy had not yet subsided, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the rear window, but saw that the window was half open, and the evening breeze brought in the fragrance of flowers outside, which was obviously a sign that someone had just left.
He didn't have time to hesitate. He turned around and carefully put Chu Yue in his arms into the hands of the Soul Slayer. His voice was urgent, but it was full of unquestionable orders:
"Keep an eye on him!"
Before he finished speaking, he jumped out of the rear window like an arrow.
When he landed, he raised a cloud of dust and ran towards the Jiangdu Palace, his steps so fast that his afterimage was almost invisible.
He had only one thought in his mind: catch up with her, grab her, and this time, he would not let her escape no matter what!
But when he followed the path to a place not far from the palace gate, the walls of Jiangdu Palace stood majestically in the twilight, and the Yulin Army came in waves. Where was Manluo?
She was like a gust of wind, coming and going, leaving behind only a son and turmoil in his heart.
Chu Jin stood not far from the palace gate, looking at the tightly closed vermilion lacquer door. The anxiety in his heart gradually turned into depression, and even his fingertips showed weakness.
But then he thought again, his son was still waiting for him, that was the bond between him and Manluo. As long as his son was there, he didn't believe that this woman was really so cruel and heartless?
After thinking about it, the feeling of loss in his heart was suppressed, and a huge joy surged up. At least, his son has returned to him, isn't it?
He did not stop, turned around and walked quickly back to the courtyard.
Although the steps were hurried, they were more determined than when they came.
She was just angry with him, but he had the patience to wait for her to willingly return to him and his son.
…
After Manluo sent Yue'er away, she just stepped into Zhaohua Palace and saw that the lights were on inside. Xie Zhan and Xiyan were standing at the door of the palace, spinning around anxiously.
When she saw her come in, Xi Yan was the first to come forward, her face full of anxiety:
"Manluo, where's Yue'er? Where did you take him?"
Xie Zhan followed closely behind, his brows furrowed.
"Just now, a guard came to report that he saw you leaving the palace? You..."
Manluo walked to the table with a sullen face and sat down. She took a sip of the cold tea on the table and said angrily:
"Throw it to Chu Jin! All he does is cry all day long. My head is about to explode. Out of sight, out of mind! It's his son, so he can take care of him. Why are you bothering me?"
"What?" Xi Yan raised her voice in shock:
"How old is the child? Why did you give him the child? He's a grown man, can he take good care of a child? You...you are willing to give it up?"
"What's there to be reluctant about?"
Manluo stiffened her neck, but her tone softened a bit:
"Isn't he blocking the palace gates every day asking for a son? I'll just give it back to him! He won't have to cling to me like a dog-skin plaster every day, and I'll be free. If he dares to pester me again, I'll just leave Nan Zhao and wander around the world. It's better than living like this, like a thief every day!"
Xiyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. She wanted to persuade him but didn't know where to start.
Xie Zhan, on the other hand, looked increasingly solemn.
Now that Chu Jin has his son as his trump card, how could Manluo really give up the idea in the future?
Now, she is just impulsive, but when she misses her son one day, she will definitely be entangled with Chu Jin.
Perhaps, from the moment Yue'er was born, the inseparable and complicated bond between them was destined to be unbreakable in this lifetime.
Then what about himself?
Xie Zhan felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, making it hard to breathe.
Manluo, on the other hand, seemed to have really unloaded a heavy burden. She stretched herself, yawned, took off her shoes, lay down on the couch, pulled the quilt over her head, and refused to move again.
Xiyan looked at her like this, then turned to look at Xie Zhan, who had a heavy face. The two looked at each other, and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
The two returned to the outer hall, and Xi Yan handed Xie Zhan a cup of tea. She looked at the loss that could not be melted between Xie Zhan's brows, and finally spoke softly:
"Second brother, I'm afraid the relationship between Manluo and Chu Jin will never end. Although she curses at him harshly, she probably still has feelings for him in her heart. You...should calm down at the right time."
Xie Zhan looked out the window at the dark night and sighed deeply:
"I know that too. But love is beyond our control. Even though we knew it was a trap, we stepped into it anyway. Even if we wanted to let go, how could we let go?"
He turned to look at Xi Yan, his eyes filled with inquiry:
"What about you? Have you really let go of Xiao Nanyan?"
Xiyan's fingers holding the teacup suddenly tightened, her eyes trembled slightly, she avoided his gaze, and ultimately did not answer.
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the hall. Eunuch Sun Cheng hurried in. When he saw Xie Zhan, he said anxiously:
"Second Prince, His Majesty wants you to go to Xuanzheng Hall immediately to discuss something important!"
Xie Zhan saw that he was usually mature and prudent, but now his eyes were full of panic, and his heart sank.
"What happened?"
Sun Cheng's eyes swept across Xiyan's face, his lips moved, but he hesitated.
Xiyan suddenly felt an ominous premonition in her heart, and her fingertips felt cold:
"Eunuch Sun, if you have something to say, please speak frankly. Could it be... related to me?"
Xie Zhan's face darkened as well, and he raised his hand to signal, "Go ahead and say it."
Sun Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:
"Your Highness, Princess, something terrible has happened! The Regent Prince of Tianqi, Xiao Nanyan, has personally led an army of 200,000 south and will soon reach the Nanzhao border!"
"What?"
The teacup in Xiyan's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the tea splashed on her skirt, but she was completely unaware. She only felt a roar in her ears -
The thing I was most worried about finally came!
