“I won over Prince Ning and supported him to ascend the throne.
In exchange, he would give us new identities and protect our safety.
When everything is settled, even if we don't use our new identities, we can continue to live in Lotus Town or travel around the world."
Xiao Sui said this in a low voice, and Ying Xixi's eyes widened when she heard it.
“???”
No, she was clearly staring at Xiao Sui on the panel.
How come she didn't know that Xiao Sui had done this?
What on earth did Xiao Sui do behind her back?
"You, then, you..."
Ying Xixi even started stuttering.
Xiao Sui was amused by his shocked but confused wife.
He leaned over and rubbed his forehead against Ying Xixi's.
"Xixi, don't be afraid, I have planned everything."
After Xiao Sui finished speaking, his peripheral vision seemed to catch sight of two swaddling clothes on the couch.
He was stunned for a moment, let go of Ying Xixi, and looked at the two babies who were sleeping soundly with their eyes closed in the cradle.
"Xixi, who... are they... and whose children are they?"
Ying Xixi raised her eyebrows, "Xiao Sui, they are our babies, your own sons and daughters.
They are twins, a boy and a girl. The older one is a brother and the younger one is a sister. They are just a few days old.
By the way, they were born on New Year’s Eve. Less than half an incense stick of time had passed since I gave birth to them when I learned the news that you had ‘died in battle’.
I could only drag my newly born body and carry two newborn babies here through the secret passage."
Every word Ying Xixi said left Xiao Sui stunned.
It was rare for Ying Xixi to see such an expression on Xiao Sui's face, a smile on his face.
It seems that she really gave Xiao Sui a surprise.
Xiao Sui stiffly looked at the two babies in the cradle, "Xixi, tell me, are these your children? Who is the father of the children, me?"
"Yes, of course you are the child's father, Xiao Sui, you don't want to acknowledge the child, do you?"
Ying Xixi said this deliberately, picked up her eldest son and moved closer to Xiao Sui.
"Look, Dabao's eyebrows and mouth shape are quite similar to yours, aren't they?"
Xiao Sui continued to nod stiffly, "Indeed, they look alike, Xixi, I didn't say I didn't want to acknowledge the child.
I just felt like I was dreaming, and when I woke up, I found myself a father.
But why didn't I know about your pregnancy?"
"This is my surprise for you. I specifically asked the housekeeper and the others not to write to you.
I just want you to come back and see the child with your own eyes. Wouldn’t you be surprised? Would you be happy? "
Xiao Sui nodded in a daze, "Very surprised, but also a little scared.
Xixi, you have worked hard this year.
Actually, you could have told me about your pregnancy so that I could come back earlier to take care of you and the children.
I heard that pregnancy is very difficult for women, and giving birth is like going through the gates of hell.
I can’t imagine how you managed to get through the days without me by your side.”
Xiao Sui's eyes were full of heartache, and pity and worry were almost overflowing from his eyes.
"You've been working hard on the battlefield, and I don't want to disturb you or distract you.
I heard you were injured before, and I feel sorry for you too."
Ying Xixi hugged Xiao Sui and looked at the scar on his cheek with a look of heartache.
Speaking of this, Xiao Sui's heart warmed up and he hugged his wife in his arms, "Xixi, I didn't get hurt that time, I just had a fever.
I tell you, I dreamed of you and heard your voice when I was in a nightmare.
The voice is very obvious, as if you were speaking into my ear.
It was your voice that brought me out of the nightmare.”
Ying Xixi smiled secretly when she heard that.
Wasn’t Xiao Sui talking about the time when he had a fever and she used the sound transmission talisman to talk to him?
Fortunately, Xiao Sui thought he was dreaming and did not doubt that it was real.
"Well, maybe when you dreamed of me, I was missing you too.
By the way, Xiao Sui, did we win the recent battle?
This town is so remote that the news about the border didn't reach us until several months ago."
Ying Xixi and Xiao Sui flirted with each other for a while, then got down to business.
"A complete victory, I chose to pretend to fall off a cliff at the very end.
The Da Ning Dynasty was defeated and retreated in disgrace with its troops.
As for whether they will return with their troops after I fake my death, that is not something I can consider."
Xiao Sui paused here, then looked down at Ying Xixi with some trepidation.
"Xixi, I never told you about my escape before, and now you know about it.
Do you think what I did was excessive? That I was deserting the army, that I was a coward?
Xiao Sui once again asked a question of a similar nature as before.
Ying Xixi discovered that Xiao Suitian was fearless, not afraid of confronting the emperor, nor afraid of dying under the emperor's nose.
The only thing he feared was that she would look down on his actions, despise him, hate him, and abandon him.
Ying Xixi held Xiao Sui's cheeks with both hands and looked at him seriously.
"Xiao Sui, do whatever you want to do, I will support you.
You faked your death and fled, which may seem selfish and bad in the eyes of others, but I don't think so.
I know you do this so that you can live well with me and the children, and you are doing this to save your life.
After all, who knows if the person in the capital will abandon him after the war is won?
You don't have to worry about my opinion. As long as you don't betray me, I will support you no matter what you do."
Ying Xixi said these words softly but firmly.
Xiao Sui's throat felt a little sore and his eyes were a little moist.
How could he have such a caring and understanding wife?
"Xixi..."
“Wow wow wow wow wow…”
Xiao Sui was so moved that he just called out "Ying Xixi", but before he could even start to say anything, the two little kids lying next to him started crying in baby voices.
It successfully interrupted their father's unspoken words and broke the pink bubble surrounding their parents.
Xiao Sui choked and was frightened by the crying baby. He turned his head stiffly to look at the crying baby.
"Xi, Xixi, they are crying."
"Be good, baby. Mommy is here to hold you. Your little belly is so empty. You must be hungry."
After Ying Xixi touched the babies' bellies one by one, she told the maid to come and take the children to the wet nurse.
As soon as the two babies were taken away, the room became quiet again.
Xiao Sui was the youngest child in the family and had little contact with babies.
I was completely unfamiliar with the little baby and found it very magical.
Such a tiny baby is actually alive, crying and laughing...
Ying Xixi looked at Xiao Sui's stunned face and couldn't help laughing as she pushed him.
