"Brother!" Qiao You rushed out from inside, like a traveler who had been thirsty for a long time and found his oasis.
Helian Jue hugged Qiao You tightly, showering her with kisses on her head. "Baby, your brother is back."
"I'm sorry, baby, I'm so sorry..."
Qiao You seemed to have truly come back to life at this moment, burying himself in Helian Jue's arms and unwilling to get up for a long time.
The two on the sofa embraced tightly, a sight that brought tears to Su Shu's eyes. She pulled Helian Cheng away.
Lin Zhong, who had returned with Helian Cheng, was waiting outside the door.
"Greetings, Your Majesty; greetings, Empress."
Su Shu raised her hand to indicate that he should not stand on ceremony. "Lin Zhong, what's the situation at the front?"
Lin Zhong recounted the whole affair, including the alliance's initial plans and His Highness's response.
Upon hearing that Helian Jue had changed his name to Tu Weiren, Su Shu glanced at Helian Cheng.
"Who is in charge of frontline affairs now?" Su Shu asked.
"The general in Shenyang's heart."
Hearing Shenyang Xin's name, Su Shu felt relieved. Thinking of the two children in the palace, she instructed Lin Zhong, "Have Shenyang Xin report directly to His Majesty on the affairs at the front these past few days."
"There's no need to disturb Your Highness."
Helian Cheng was shocked to find himself involved again. He couldn't believe it.
Lin Zhong's face was serious. "Yes! Your subordinate obeys."
Su Shu was very satisfied with Lin Zhong's attitude; he was indeed someone Jue'er had personally trained.
After walking several steps and getting quite a distance from Lin Zhong, Helian Cheng couldn't help but express his opinion: "Shushu, I don't want to go."
Su Shu was focused on walking and didn't want to pay any attention to Helian Cheng.
"Shushu, why don't we let General Bai Heng take charge? He's very experienced." Helian Cheng quickly came up with the most suitable candidate.
Su Shu was almost laughing in anger at Helian Cheng, and suddenly stopped, "Helian Cheng, if you hadn't been so cowardly back then, and hadn't been manipulated by Leiden Hong, and had married Leiden Xin and had Helian Tu."
Will the two children experience this today?
Over the years, Su Shu never harbored any resentment towards Helian Cheng. She always understood Helian Cheng's difficulties and knew that being an emperor meant being powerless.
Less than half a year after her marriage to Helian Cheng, Nalaidenxin became his concubine; shortly after she gave birth to Jue'er, news spread that Nalaidenxin was pregnant.
In every single incident, Su Shu was understanding towards He Liancheng. Although she felt bitter inside, she never complained. Instead, she would sometimes comfort and guide He Liancheng.
But Su Shu couldn't bear the thought that her two children would have to pay the price for Helian Cheng's cowardice. It was the fault of their previous generation, so why should the children have to bear it?
Helian Cheng was stunned. After a moment, he hurriedly grasped Su Shu's hand. "Shu Shu, are you blaming me? I'm sorry. Back then, Leidenxin and I were just an accident, and Helian Tu was also an accident."
"I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you..."
Su Shu's eyes shone brightly as she spoke by the moonlight: "Helian Cheng, what happened back then is in the past. I, Su Shu, neither care nor concern myself with it."
"But I cannot accept that what happened back then has caused harm to the children."
"Helian Tu hates the empire to the core and wants to ruin Jue'er and Guaibao's wedding."
“And Helian Tu is your child. I hope you can handle this matter yourself and not let Jue’er run around doing it.”
"You saw what happened to Guaibao with your own eyes, how could you bear it?" Su Shu's question left Helian Cheng speechless.
As the apple of the Su family's eye, Su Shu initially cared about this man who had promised her a lifetime of monogamy.
Su Shu initially resented and hated him, but it had no effect.
So Su Shu began to shift her focus, devoting all her time to doing more meaningful things.
Her life shouldn't be confined to this man, Helian Cheng.
