A child's image appeared in Masako Izumi's mind.
At that time, she had just lost her child and was lying in the house, with no will to live. She even refused to take medicine and was determined to die.
It was that child who came to her side, gently comforted her, and fed her medicine by hand.
He said to her, “Midai-sama, you are my mother’s good friend. Now I have no parents, and you have no children.”
If you don't mind, treat me as your child. Look, now that you have a child again, you must live well.
What merit does she possess?
But after that, the child would come to see her whenever he had time, until he saw that her health began to improve, and then he gradually stopped coming.
During holidays and festivals, her child would ask someone to send her gifts.
This was one of the few remaining sources of warmth for Masako Izumi within the shogunate.
Gradually, she came to regard that person as her own child.
As a mother, she always feels she has to do something for her child, and this is what keeps her alive to this day.
midnight.
When Ueno Chinatsu heard the door open, she got up to check and was surprised to find the door open.
She went outside and found no one there.
After inspecting the yard for a week, Chinatsu Ueno noticed a ladder in the corner.
The courtyard they were in was in the most remote corner of the mansion, separated from the outside world by only a wall.
If they climb this ladder, they can escape.
Then, considering that the door suddenly opened, there was no one outside, and the ladder suddenly appeared.
Chinatsu Ueno excitedly ran back into the house and said to Masako Izumi, who hadn't slept, "Midai-sho, someone has come to rescue us."
Chinatsu told Izumi Masako about the situation outside.
Upon hearing this, Masako Izumi was taken aback at first, then smiled, but tears streamed down her face as she shook her head. "He still cares about me. Chika, you should go, but I can't leave."
If I escape, the general will definitely use this to put pressure on the Sheguan family and put my father in a difficult position.
Besides, if I leave, who will help him?
Chinatsu Ueno wanted to say something more, but when she saw Masako Izumi close her eyes and stop talking, she knew that Odaisho's mind was made up.
"Wherever Odai is, I will be. Since there is anything Odai wants to do, Chinatsu will definitely do her best to help Odai."
"Thank you, Chinatsu." In the candlelight, Izumi Masako closed her eyes and whispered these words, and then there was no more sound in the room.

Imperial residence.
"Your Majesty, I have done as you instructed, but she is unwilling to leave."
A sigh came from behind the bamboo curtain, "So be it. Give the order to do everything in their power to protect the Imperial Palace."
"yes."

The atmosphere in the shogunate was oppressive because of the death of the crown prince.
Back at the villa, Su Ruojin has been having some headaches these past few days.
Three days ago, Ono Akuro came to Su Ruojin's door, asking to become her apprentice, but Su Ruojin refused.
Unexpectedly, Ono Akuro was quite straightforward and knelt outside the villa for three days and three nights.
On the morning of the fourth day, Yanluo brought breakfast.
"Is the person still kneeling?" Su Ruojin asked.
"Yes, I had someone bring him some food and drink, but he refused them all and just knelt there. I saw that he was pale and his body was swaying, so I figured he wouldn't last much longer."
"Your Highness, this Nono Mustard is quite persistent." Yanluo said with some admiration.
“Let him kneel. He thinks he can become Ah Jin’s disciple after kneeling for a few days? Dream on,” Xiao Yanchu said from the side.
Ono Akuro is a man, and Xiao Yanchu is unwilling for Ajin to take on a male apprentice.
"Have someone try to persuade him again. If he doesn't listen, then so be it. Let him kneel if he wants." She had no intention of taking on a disciple, nor did she like being forced to take on a disciple in this way.
Just after breakfast, Su Ziyang arrived and said, "Xiao Jin, Li Zi definitely didn't do it."
