Chapter 皇子府邸

The Prince's residence;

Midwives and doctors had already entered. Maids scurried back and forth, fetching things and boiling water. Everyone's busyness was tinged with panic.

Because He Si Si's cries from the delivery room were growing weaker and weaker.

No one had expected that the Princess Consort would have a premature birth, much less that the situation would become so critical so quickly.

News of the Princess Consort's difficult labor was neither concealed nor needed to be.

Ji Chengjue ordered Zhang Gonggong to bring the He family father and son.

The woman in the delivery room was doing her best for her child, and now it seemed likely to cost her her life.

At this moment, something changed in Ji Chengjue's mindset as a man.

Or perhaps,

he was not as truly heartless as his own father could be.

He felt that,

at this time, her father and brother should be here as well.

Ji Chengjue wasn't thinking of using this as motivation; even as her husband he couldn't do anything to motivate her, let alone others.

He was just thinking that if the worst really happened, she wouldn't have any regrets.

One couldn't blame Ji Lao Liu for thinking the worst here, nor could one criticize him for making such plans,

because he couldn't give birth for her.

He could only stand here,

listening to the screams coming from inside.

Could he possibly be in the mood to enthusiastically and expectantly ponder the child's pet name at this time?

He, Ji Lao Liu, wasn't crazy!

But oddly enough, he wished he could go crazy;

the education and experiences he'd had since childhood had instilled in him an instinct: the more important the moment, the calmer he became inside.

Like an injured person who, in pain, couldn't faint but could only endure consciously.

Yet, he was so powerless at this moment.

He could only stand there, hands clasped behind his back, eyes looking straight ahead.

Servants passing by him lowered their heads instinctively, not daring to look at him.

The He family father and son arrived; this was their first time entering the Prince's residence. In the past, they'd only come to deliver vegetables and meat, always having the guards at the main gate take them inside.

Ji Chengjue and He Si Si had invited them in several times, but the two men had refused, thoroughly refusing.

It could be said that they were the most low-profile imperial relatives.

But this time, they were being carried in.

After entering and hearing the commotion inside, and seeing the palace maids coming and going with hot water and ginseng soup, the two men understood what was happening, even in their confusion.

Old He Tou clenched his fists tightly.

"How did it become like this, how did it become like this!"

He Chu also looked around blankly, his lips trembling.

Ji Chengjue still stood there with his hands behind his back. At this time, he had no mind to entertain his father-in-law and brother-in-law.

Each scream from He Si Si in the delivery room was like a heavy hammer striking his chest, but the more it was like this, the more he couldn't bend over. He hoped his wife could pull through, and she had to pull through.

Old He Tou instinctively wanted to ask his son-in-law about the situation, but seeing his son-in-law's state, Old He Tou hesitated and didn't dare to go over.

It wasn't just fear, but he also knew in his heart that asking at this moment wouldn't help anything; it would be of no use.

But this was also his most frustrating point;

other fathers-in-law in this situation could impolitely step forward and question their son-in-law, even directly punching their son-in-law, even knowing it was useless, but at least they could vent the nameless fire in their chest.

But he couldn't do it here.

He Chu wanted to help, such as boiling water or passing things, but the palace maids and eunuchs were doing their jobs meticulously and didn't lack manpower at all, so there was no room for him to intervene.

At this time, having nothing to do was the most painful.

The commotion here also alarmed the Fourth and Fifth Princes, who also lived in the Prince's residence.

The Fourth Prince walked over, frowning as he looked at the scene before him.

The Fifth Prince had just been busy with woodworking, and when he heard the servants' report, he still had wood shavings on his head.

The two exchanged glances and walked towards Ji Chengjue together.

The Fourth Prince asked, "Sixth Brother, what's going on?"

Ji Chengjue didn't turn his head, didn't even glance at his two brothers, but calmly spat out a word:

"Scram."

The Fourth and Fifth Princes exchanged an awkward look. They both retreated silently, standing to the side, no longer speaking.

Firstly, this year, the Sixth Prince, who had been severely suppressed by the Emperor, had suddenly risen. A grand wedding clearly declared his participation in the struggle for the throne, while the Crown Prince had been constantly unlucky this year.

The Empress's death and the wedding with the Princess had also come to nothing.

The struggle for the throne was, before the Emperor's death and the announcement of his will, in fact a struggle for power.

Currently, it was obvious that the Eastern Palace was weak. The Sixth Prince controlled the Ministry of Revenue, managing the finances of Great Yan. He had the Earl of Pingye of Snow Sea Pass as an external support and the First Prince as an ally. Internally, a group of newly appointed Jinshi had already become a force to be reckoned with. Clearly, he was at the height of his power!

Princes also had a food chain. After all, there was only one dragon throne, and only one person could sit on it. If you didn't plan to sit on it or felt it unlikely that you could, then you had to consider your future, lest you couldn't even maintain a carefree royal status in the end.

Secondly, his wife was currently in difficult labor. At this time, a little irritability could be understood.

The Fifth Prince licked his lips, looking around. He had been busy making a crib and cradle for his Sixth Brother's child.

But looking at the current situation, the crib might not be used.

He wasn't so concerned about the child's safety, but rather about the effort he had put into the crib and cradle, which he estimated would be wasted.

After all, ordinary people weren't worthy of a prince sending this. If you sent it to someone worthy, it would be unlucky.

The Fourth Prince lowered his head, looking at the ground.

From his perspective, he was somewhat happy to see this situation.

The First Prince already had two children, but they were born to savage slave girls, and their bloodline couldn't be guaranteed to be pure. After all, when the First Prince was being served in the Snow Plains, there was no record kept, so those two children couldn't even have the surname "Ji".

And now, Little Sixth was at the height of his power. If he gave birth to the eldest grandson, alas...

In fact, after the initial failure of the Eastern Expeditionary Army and the death of the Deng family head, the Fourth Prince had become much more low-key. But how to say it, as a prince, who didn't want to sit in that position?

Even knowing that he had lost his external support and was no longer competitive, he didn't want that position to be set in stone too early, at least so he could still have a dream when he went to bed at night.

But you couldn't leave at this time either.

The imperial family was the most ruthless, but the imperial family needed to act out affection more than any other family in the world.

Although the two princes had their own thoughts, they could only continue to be clay statues here.

At this time, the First Prince arrived.

The First Prince had been leading troops outside, helping the Ministry of Revenue to clear out local remnants, which was actually helping to open up trade routes in various places. What was being cracked down on wasn't just bandits. In fact, within Great Yan, not counting Jin Province, it would certainly be an exaggeration to say that people didn't pick up lost items, but there really weren't many bandits.

During the two years when the foreign wars were most tense, even those who climbed walls to steal lovers were caught by the government and sent to the front lines as penal soldiers. There was no room for bandits to survive. If you really raised the banner of a "寨" (mountain stronghold) or "帮" (gang), the local government would have sharpened their knives long ago to conscript you.

What was being cracked down on was actually "官匪" (official bandits), some remnants of aristocratic families and some newly emerging forces that had taken advantage of the situation to control certain industries or trade routes after the aristocratic families were purged.

After the First Prince married the barbarian princess, his political situation was actually similar to that of Prince Dingxiong, the Fifth Prince of Chu.

When a person no longer needs political reputation, it becomes much easier to do things. Although many officials impeached the First Prince for acting recklessly while leading troops outside, the Yan Emperor suppressed these voices after looking at the income presented by the Ministry of Revenue.

The First Prince came with the barbarian princess. The princess was holding a box.

Ji Wujiang walked to Ji Chengjue's side, not foolishly asking "What's wrong?"

Instead, he directly said, "Your sister-in-law brought a snow lotus that was part of her dowry."

Generally, when pregnant women give birth, ordinary families prepare some brown sugar water to replenish the pregnant woman's strength, while wealthy families prepare ginseng soup.

Ji Chengjue nodded, not speaking.

His family,

didn't lack this.

The First Prince slowly took a few steps back and stood with his wife, then glanced at the Fourth and Fifth Princes standing there.

The Fourth and Fifth Princes walked over together, whispering:

"Elder Brother, Sister-in-law."

"Elder Brother, Sister-in-law."

The barbarian princess gave a slight bow to the two princes. She had been in Yan for a long time and was familiar with the etiquette of Yan.

"The Crown Prince has arrived!"

The Fourth, Fifth, and First Princes were somewhat surprised. What was the Crown Prince doing here at this time?

The Crown Prince arrived,

and he looked much thinner.

After he came in, he just glanced at his brothers, not walking over, not even approaching Ji Chengjue, just silently standing on the periphery, just standing there.

Ji Chengjue didn't greet the Crown Prince either.

After a while, Li Yinglian, the Crown Prince's attendant, walked over, holding a box in his hands, inside which was a fish-shaped jade.

This jade was a protective jade prepared by the old master in the palace for the Crown Prince when he was conferred the title, which could ward off disasters.

Because the old master in the palace had already died on Mount Tianhu, this jade had become a unique item.

Ji Chengjue looked at the jade, motioned for a palace maid to come over, and sent the jade into the delivery room to be placed under the bed.

Then,

Ji Chengjue turned around and bowed to the Crown Prince standing on the periphery.

The Crown Prince didn't return the salute, just sat down on the steps of the inner gate, with his hands drooping and his head lowered.

Just then,

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The Crown Prince, who had just sat down, didn't move, as if he was asleep, still maintaining that posture.

And the First, Fourth, and Fifth Princes all knelt down:

"This son greets Father Emperor!"

"This son greets Father Emperor!"

The Yan Emperor walked in. He didn't seem to notice the Crown Prince sitting in the corner, or perhaps he noticed him but was too lazy to even look at him, walking straight to Ji Chengjue and waving his hand to signal them to rise.

Ji Chengjue didn't kneel; he was still standing there, and at the same time, he waved his hand behind his back.

In an instant, the great worshipers and guards that originally belonged to the Sixth Prince, borrowed from various镖行 (镖行, security escort agencies), both inside and outside this courtyard, were withdrawn, replaced by the密谍司 (密谍司, Secret Intelligence Agency) experts brought by Wei Zhonghe, who re-defended the area.

The Yan Emperor didn't care about the Sixth Prince's lack of etiquette and directly asked:

"Who did it?"

Three words,

directly asked,

carrying a kind of 森然 (sēn rán, cold and stern aura) belonging to the supreme ruler!

The emperor is suspicious. The first reaction to encountering something is always: Who is scheming against me? Who is plotting wrongdoing?

A lonely man, that's what it means.

Most importantly, the Yan Emperor didn't believe that his son wouldn't know how to take good care of his pregnant wife.

If it wasn't for someone deliberately interfering,

could it really just be bad luck?

After asking these three words,

the Yan Emperor's gaze swept towards the Fourth and Fifth Princes standing on the side.

"……" Fourth Prince.

"……" Fifth Prince.

These two princes themselves lived together in the Prince's residence. If they wanted to make a move, it would undoubtedly be the most convenient.

But after seeing their father emperor's gaze, the two princes almost knelt down and cried out for injustice.

Oh heavens,

Father Emperor,

do you know how many experts Sixth Brother has installed in this Prince's residence in the past half year?

On the surface, there are three fourth-rank experts alone!

Three, Father Emperor!

Do you know how terrified we brothers are living in the Prince's residence now!

If Sixth Brother suddenly has a nerve and wants to stage a 清君侧 (qīng jūn cè, cleanse the emperor's surroundings), we two brothers living with him will definitely be the first and second to be "咔嚓" (kā chā, slang for 'killed')!

Ji Chengjue shook his head and said:

"This son's life is not good."

Ji Chengjue answered like this.

Except for the night of the wedding when he was threatened by the Princess's crazy Seventh Uncle and Li Liangshen, after that, Ji Chengjue unceremoniously mobilized his own forces. The major镖行 (镖行, security escort agencies) all have real experts, and they are the kind of great worshipers at the bottom of the box. These worshipers are not hired through money, but can only be asked to help you through favors.

It can be said that using it once reduces it by one.

But despite this, Ji Chengjue still borrowed them. There were three fourth-rank experts!

There were also several other good hands with low ranks but rich means and experience, who were also protecting this place in the shadows at all times, protecting his wife and the unborn child in her belly.

It can be said that unless the imperial guards in Beijing are mobilized to attack the Prince's residence, Ji Chengjue is not afraid even if the Princess wants to go crazy again.

In addition to this, Ji Chengjue also did an extremely meticulous job in terms of food and clothing.

Therefore, he can rule out the possibility of人为 (rén wéi, man-made) interference.

It can only be said that

this time,

it's destiny,

it's that Ji Chengjue's life is not good, and he should have this tribulation in his fate!

And this,

is also the most stifling thing,

because if the worst happens, your anger and unwillingness won't even have a channel to vent!

The sky,

became gloomy again at this time. Qingming (Qingming Festival) is often rainy. The silky, moist drizzle not only did not extinguish the anger entrenched in the courtyard at this time, but made people feel even more irritable.

The Yan Emperor stood with his hands behind his back,

his appearance now

was exactly the same as when Ji Chengjue was standing here alone earlier.

As an emperor, he needs to consider many, many things, but there is one hurdle that he cannot avoid, and that is inheritance.

He, Ji Runhao, has seven sons.

When selecting a successor, there is undoubtedly a lot more room for choice.

Although there is a system of嫡长子 (dí cháng zǐ, the eldest son of the official wife) here, the Great Yan aristocratic families have now been swept away by him. How can a system of嫡长子 (dí cháng zǐ, the eldest son of the official wife) trap this emperor?

It's just whether he wants to or not.

Moreover, in addition to the room for choice of successor, there is also the point that if the population is thin and something unexpected happens, it will either cause chaos in the country or cause the inheritance of the dragon chair to be transferred from his lineage to another.

Although they all seem to have the surname Ji, even close brothers have to keep things straight. The嫡系 (dí xì, direct line) is the嫡系 (dí xì, direct line). The嫡系 (dí xì, direct line) can ensure that the next generation and the next generation are all in their own line.

Once the collateral line gains power, then in the future, your line will be completely out of touch with the center of power. Even more tragic suppression may be suffered, and even the most basic inheritance may be cut off.

This is not alarmist. The Taizong Emperor of the Qian Kingdom was the biological younger brother of the Taizu Emperor. He succeeded to the throne as the Imperial Younger Brother. When he succeeded to the throne, he stated in the imperial edict that he would name the young son of the Taizu Emperor as the Crown Prince and then pass the throne back later.

Then, the嫡子 (dí zǐ, son of the official wife) and two庶子 (shù zǐ, son of a concubine) of the Taizu Emperor all "died of illness," and even the grandsons were either stillborn or demented. In the end, the inheritance of the throne of the Qian Kingdom always went to the line of the Taizong Emperor.

And what about the line of the Taizu Emperor? Now they can only rely on adopting descendants to help them fill the facade and provide blood food.

For the Yan Emperor,

the children born to those barbarian women of the First Prince, on the one hand, have obvious differences in appearance from the Yan people, and on the other hand, who knows whether their bloodline is really pure.

The emperor is ruthless. He will not waste his already meager feelings on children who may not be his grandchildren.

Therefore,

in the eyes of the Yan Emperor, in the eyes of the court officials,

the child in He Si Si's belly,

if it is a male infant,

that is the imperial eldest grandson!

This is the first of his grandchildren, and the Yan Emperor doesn't want any accidents.

Entering with the Yan Emperor were also a group of imperial physicians.

But in fact, famous doctors in the delivery room had already been prepared.

The best doctors, the best midwives, the best medicinal materials, and even some instruments for祈福 (qí fú, praying for blessings) were not lacking.

Ji Chengjue had done everything he could think of in advance.

And at this time,

Sun Taiyi (孙太医, Imperial Physician Sun), who was highly respected in the Imperial Hospital, ran out of the delivery room,

knelt down,

and said:

"Your Majesty, Sixth Prince, this humble servant deserves to die, this humble servant is guilty, but this humble servant will do everything in his power to ensure the safety of the little master!"

Among the common people, it is not easy to marry a wife. When encountering this situation, they will ask whether to保大保小 (bǎo dà bǎo xiǎo, save the adult or the child).

But in the imperial family...

Imperial bloodline is extremely important.

If it is a concubine with a special status, then they may ask, but in Sun Taiyi's view, He Si Si, a butcher's woman, is obviously not as important as an imperial heir.

This question of 保大保小 (bǎo dà bǎo xiǎo, save the adult or the child) is something that even ordinary folk doctors or midwives will not ask unless absolutely necessary, lest others come to you for trouble in the future, saying that you are gossiping. In the imperial family, it is even more impossible to ask, otherwise you are throwing the problem to His Majesty and the Sixth Prince.

This is a report, meaning that according to the current situation, it is difficult to protect both the adult and the child, so choose to protect the child.

The Yan Emperor nodded slightly.

In the Yan Emperor's eyes, his imperial eldest grandson is undoubtedly the most important. This almost does not require hesitation or thought.

Sun Taiyi kowtowed, got up, and prepared to return to the delivery room.

Just then,

Ji Chengjue, who had already reddened eyes, suddenly said:

"I want my wife to live!"

Sun Taiyi's body trembled, and he stopped.

On one side, the Fourth and Fifth Princes were also猛地 (měng de, suddenly) raised their heads, looking at their Sixth Brother.

Even the Crown Prince, who was sitting on the threshold of the inner door, nearly “hiding” himself, also raised his head at this time.

This Ji Lao Liu,

is he crazy!

The Yan Emperor's gaze猛地 (měng de, suddenly) landed on Ji Chengjue,

waving his hand.

Sun Taiyi immediately bowed and accepted the order.

However,

Ji Chengjue suddenly roared:

"If my wife dies, you, you, you, everyone in the Imperial Hospital present, those involved in the delivery, 老子 (lǎo zi, I), won't let a single one of you go!"

As the son of the Yan Emperor,

Ji Chengjue knew,

he didn't have the qualifications to change his father's decree,

what he could do was to threaten these people who were carrying out orders.

He was crazy,

he knew he was crazy,

he naturally knew best what the imperial eldest grandson being his son meant, it meant that his son was very likely to be valued by his father emperor, and even brought by his father emperor to be nurtured.

His father emperor had long lost interest in these older children, and was only more patient with Little Seven, because Little Seven was still young, and could still allow the Yan Emperor to get some feeling of "fatherly love" from him.

As the saying goes, grandparents are closer to grandchildren, wouldn't it feel different for his first grandson?

Wouldn't he show more of the慈爱 (cí ài, loving and kind) of a grandfather when treating him?

Wouldn't he value his son more because of this grandson?

An imperial eldest grandson can play a huge role in the struggle for the throne.

Ji Chengjue knew all of this.

Even,

before today, he had already planned out many scenes in his mind of how his son would amuse his father emperor in the future and fight for favor for him.

In fact, it's not just that the mother relies on the son's status, the father can also!

Even,

even before today,

if someone were to ask Ji Chengjue this question, if this situation occurred, whether to save the adult or the child?

Ji Chengjue felt that he would probably drink a glass of wine, redden his eyes, and say, "Save the child."

Then,

using the slightly drunk state, he would reveal a look of pain, and say to his deceased wife: I will take care of our child, and will give her the best of everything.

In order to offset the guilt in his heart.

Among the seven princes of the Yan Emperor,

the one who most resembled his father was actually Ji Lao Liu!

He can endure and lie dormant for so many years, he can go to his mother's grave and pretend to cry, he can endure what ordinary people cannot endure, and he can use all means to achieve his goals.

He has all the qualities of a tyrant, both in temperament and ability.

He feels that he is like this, and also feels that he should be like this.

He can have ten thousand reasons to comfort himself,

no,

even if he endures a little conscience, what does it matter?

But,

but,

but,

but the problem is,

after He Si Si entered the delivery room,

Ji Chengjue,

had been standing outside the delivery room, here, for more than half a day.

He clearly heard the screams coming from inside the delivery room, the heart-wrenching screams of his wife.

He was very distressed, very, very distressed.

That butcher's daughter from Nan'an County, that night, because of a word from him, held a hairpin against her neck, and forcibly came to his room while her father and brother were blocking her.

Without the order of her parents, without the words of a matchmaker, she gave her clean body to him.

Later, she joked that she just coveted his handsome looks at the time and didn't think so much.

Standing outside the delivery room, under the screams of his wife, Ji Chengjue did not know why, but in his heart, he became more and more disgusted with his unborn child.

Yes, disgusted.

It was he who made his wife endure such great pain.

Ji Chengjue's mind is very chaotic now, and he can't think carefully anymore. He can only do things based on, based on his instincts.

He doesn't want to lose this woman, he doesn't want to lose her. If the child is gone, he can have another one in the future. If she's gone, she's gone.

For that child he had never met, Ji Chengjue showed the greatest ruthlessness.

Since you haven't opened your eyes to see this world yet, then pretend that you... don't exist.

Everyone present was shocked by Ji Lao Liu's sudden madness.

Including,

the Yan Emperor.

"Ji Chengjue, you……"

Before the Yan Emperor could finish his words,

Old He Tou on the side suddenly shouted: "My daughter, save my daughter, my daughter！！！！！！！！！”

"My sister, my sister can't have anything happen, save my sister！！！！！！！”

When Sun Taiyi came out earlier, the He family father and son did not understand the meaning of the words. They thought it was just the Imperial Physician routinely coming out to report.

It was not until they heard Ji Chengjue roaring that the He family father and son understood what was going on!

At this time,

the most low-key imperial relatives broke out. The two men shouted loudly. If the guards next to them had not directly stopped them, it was very likely that they would have rushed directly to the Yan Emperor's face. Even so, they were still constantly pushing the guards who were stopping them. Especially He Chu, as a pig butcher, although he does not know martial arts, he has a lot of strength. Two guards could only barely suppress him.

The Yan Emperor ignored the He family father and son,

He just stared at his sixth son with an extremely calm gaze,

in this gaze, there was also an emotion called disappointment.

Because he felt that his son, at this time, showing妇人之仁 (fù rén zhī rén, womanly kindness), was simply an unforgivable mistake.

Ji Chengjue obviously also understood the meaning in his father's gaze, but he did not retreat, but met his father's gaze.

"朕 (zhèn, I, the emperor), want朕 (zhèn, I, the emperor)'s grandson."

He is the emperor,

his word is law,

under his will,

Tian Wujing must rush to the Snow Plains to drive away the barbarians, and Li Liangting must return to Beifeng County to continue guarding the barbarians.

If he says to fight, they must fight. If he says to make peace, the official family of the Qian Kingdom and the regent of the Chu Kingdom can make peace.

Now,

now,

now,

he,

just wants his imperial eldest grandson!

Ji Chengjue's chest rose and fell, and for the first time, he showed a ferocious expression towards his father emperor.

He hated this face, the face of his father emperor.

At the same time,

for some reason, deep in his heart, the memory of when he secretly bribed the eunuch to run into the cold palace where his mother was, and pushed open the door that instant, suddenly surfaced,

what he saw was,

the figure of his mother hanging from the beam.

Now,

he is here again,

he appeared in his home,

he had decided his mother's fate without asking him,

now,

he still wants to decide his wife's fate without asking him.

Ji Chengjue stretched out his hand,

pointing at the delivery room,

staring at his father, staring at the supreme ruler of Great Yan,

word by word saying:

"I, want, my, wife!"

No one could have predicted,

at this time,

a confrontation belonging to the monarch and his ministers, belonging to the father and son,

would actually unfold in this clear drizzle in such a sudden way...

And just at this moment,

"哇 (wā)!哇 (wā)!哇 (wā)！！！！！！！” (cries of a baby)

A crisp cry of a baby,

broke the almost stagnant atmosphere in the courtyard at this time.

A female medical officer with blood on her clothes ran out,

kneeling on the ground,

crying and laughing as she shouted:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have a皇孙 (huáng sūn, imperial grandson), congratulations to Sixth Prince, mother and child are safe!"

The He family father and son at this time, breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer struggled with the guards around them, constantly喃喃 (nán nán, muttering): "God bless, God bless."

And at this time,

Wei Zhonghe directly knelt down,

"This servant congratulates Your Majesty, you have a皇孙 (huáng sūn, imperial grandson), may heaven protect our Emperor, Great Yan last for ten thousand years!"

All the surrounding guards, palace maids and eunuchs, all knelt down and shouted in unison:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have a皇孙 (huáng sūn, imperial grandson)!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have a皇孙 (huáng sūn, imperial grandson)!"

The Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, First Prince, First Princess Consort, and the Crown Prince sitting in the corner, also knelt down at this time:

"This son congratulates Father Emperor, you have a 长孙 (cháng sūn, eldest grandson)!"

"This son congratulates Father Emperor, you have a 长孙 (cháng sūn, eldest grandson)!"

The Yan Emperor remained unmoved,

continuing to stare at his sixth son.

Ji Chengjue, after the female official said "mother and child are safe,"

his whole person seemed to have been drained of all his strength,

directly sat down on the ground tiles that had been moistened by the raindrops,

he raised his head,

opened his mouth,

his gaze was a little blank,

gasping for breath, not knowing whether he was laughing or crying.

In the entire Prince's residence,

everyone was kneeling on the ground,

only the Yan Emperor was standing there,

and this clear rain,

kept falling.
