After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

"You and he are both trapped in the River Map and Luo Shu. Outside the River Map and Luo Shu is the Balance Realm. It has sensed the breath of the Sixth Patriarch and is waiting to devour them at any time. This means that neither you nor he can get out."

"However, only when he returns to his position can he take back the River Map and Luo Shu, and your mother can change her fate..."

"Yue'er, take your father away..."

"What about you?"

"Yuer, my world, your mother... is dead..." There was a pool of dead water in the man's eyes.

Shangguan Qingyue slowly opened his eyes.

Shangguan Qiyou looked at her with a distressed look on his face, "Yue'er, why are you crying?"

Shangguan Qingyue didn't answer him, but just raised her hand silently and wiped away her tears.

[Daddy... Daddy... doesn't seem that evil...]

The carriage entered the palace.

As soon as they entered the Hall of Brightness, the two learned that their father was going to die. Shangguan Qiyou burst into tears instantly, and cried with Shangguan Yiersan.

But Shangguan Qingyue didn't cry. Not only that, she looked at him curiously, as if wondering what was going on.

This look makes people feel even more distressed and sad.

Shangguan Qingyue is still too young to remember anything. If Shangguan Shu really died, she might not even have any memory of her biological father when she grows up...

Emperor Jianxi held Shangguan Qingyue on his lap and sighed.

Suddenly, Shangguan Qingyue said to the old Duke: "Grandfather, don't cry anymore. If you continue to cry, Daddy will be fine. You'll die if you cry first..."

Hearing this, the old Duke nodded and tried hard to hold back his tears, "Grandfather, don't cry, Grandfather, don't cry..."

After perfunctorily speaking, she turned around, carried Shangguan Qingyue on her back, and continued crying...

Shangguan Qingyue sighed helplessly, [Why are you crying? Didn’t I bring Daddy back? ]

The few people who could hear her thoughts didn't pay attention to what she said.

Sleeping hall.

"Your Highness, as long as the prince survives today, he will be fine."

Zhao Ying's tense nerves relaxed.

She just knew it... She just knew it...

As the imperial doctors packed up their things, they shook their heads and sighed, "The prince is indeed a man of strong character and a strong will..."

"Yes, today we were able to turn danger into fortune, and tomorrow we will surely be safe and smooth... This is all thanks to Your Highness, Your Highness is really..."

"That's right, that's right..."

The imperial doctors flattered him, but Zhao Ying was in no mood to listen. He turned around and went outside the palace to report the good news.

Everyone was delighted to hear this, and the old Duke cried for joy like a baby.

Emperor Jianxi said this with disdain.

Prince Liang frowned and glanced secretly at Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong was obviously relieved, but then a hint of loss and regret flashed across her eyes.

"Shangguan Chengjing" took a deep breath and thought to himself that Shangguan Chengjing was lucky because his father was not dead.

Shangguan Qingwan immediately said, "Mother, can I go in and see Daddy?"

Shangguan Bailin has already run in.

Soon after, a group of people wanted to go in to see Shangguan Shu. Zhao Ying let them go and stood at the door in a daze, his mind still a little dazed.

Until he saw Shangguan Qingyue was the only one left in the empty hall.

Zhao Ying smiled, walked over, and hugged Shangguan Qingyue tightly in her arms. Smelling the warm milk scent on the little baby, her depressed mood gradually calmed down.

"Mother..."

"Yue'er, do you want to go in and see daddy?"

Shangguan Qingyue lowered her head, and helplessly fiddled with the loose threads on Zhao Ying's clothes with her little hands. After running around all night, Zhao Ying was still wearing Shangguan Shu's outer robe and had no time to change.

"Mother, I won't go..."

"Why?" Zhao Ying was puzzled.

Shangguan Qingyue pursed his lips and said nothing. Zhao Ying guessed secretly until the little guy's inner voice came out, "I'm afraid that if I go in, my father will be gone..."

Zhao Ying hugged Shangguan Qingyue tightly with heartache. At the same time, she thought that Shangguan Shuding had been very good to Yue'er recently and had completely captured the little guy's heart. She didn't even want to hate him.

Zhao Ying pinched Shangguan Qingyue's cheeks, "Don't be afraid, Yue'er. Daddy will be happy when he hears Yue'er's voice. Daddy likes Yue'er the most, right? Daddy will never dislike Yue'er!"

Shangguan Qingyue suddenly raised his head. Zhao Ying paused, and the next second, his heart twisted.

The little girl looked at her pitifully with red eyes, and tears as big as beans fell down. She sobbed, "Mom, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that Daddy will be destroyed by me like those doors... Wow..."

The little guy's tense emotions completely collapsed under his mother's gentle comfort, and he raised his head and cried.

Zhao Ying felt distressed but also found it funny. The mouth was so wide open that you could even see the little tongue...

"Don't be afraid, Yue'er, mother is here..." Zhao Ying sat down with Shangguan Qingyue in her arms, coaxing her softly. She knew very well that the little girl was just venting her emotions, and it would be fine once the emotion passed, so she didn't take it too seriously.

Thinking that Shangguan Shu was fine, Zhao Ying felt brighter. Seeing her daughter crying in her arms, she couldn't help but raise her hand and gently patted the little girl's mouth.

"Wa ...

Shangguan Qingyue closed his mouth, puzzled.

Seeing that Zhao Ying had stopped moving, Shangguan Qingyue raised his head and grinned, then continued crying, "Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa..."

"Pfft..." Zhao Ying stared at the little guy's angry face and laughed.

Shangguan Qingyue had no choice but to deal with her beloved mother. Although her mother had played a trick on her, she still loved her mother dearly. Shangguan Qingyue tilted her head and burrowed into Zhao Ying's arms, muttering, "My mother is so annoying..."

Zhao Ying bent down and kissed him.

……

Shangguan Shu stayed in Guangming Palace temporarily.

Everyone else left, leaving only Zhao Ying and the five children.

Shangguan Qingyue went in to take a look at Shangguan Shu. Looking at his unconscious father, he swore in his heart, "When dad wakes up, I will take care of him!"

Emperor Jianxi, who was far away in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, twitched his eyelids.

In the Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Emperor Jianxi asked Prince Shou to be in charge of the case, but after a night of trial, Prince Shou came back and said that the group of people were insisting on the case because of Shangguan Shu's orders.

Shangguan Shu was still unconscious, so he naturally could not refute.

Prince Shou didn't believe it. If the killer was sent by Shangguan Shu, why was he the one dying? How could he send someone to kill himself?

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Fu touched the knife wound on his arm, frowned slightly, and thought that Shangguan Shu was too cruel and his self-torture scheme was too realistic.

His minor injury is not even worth mentioning in front of him!

Didn’t you see that he has entered the Palace of Light?

Wei Fu was feeling regretful and annoyed, and the King of Liang spoke up, "Was it not a self-torture trick by cousin Runzhi last night?"

Wei Fu gave King Liang a thumbs up in his heart.

Emperor Jianxi frowned, a self-torture tactic?

He had originally planned to reward Shangguan Shu for his service in protecting the emperor, but this...

Emperor Jianxi waved his hand and said, "Continue the trial!"

dungeon.

More than a dozen people were being held up, their bodies covered with wounds from torture. As soon as the imperial edict of Emperor Jianxi came down, the executioner continued to arrange the torture instruments, and the breathing sounds in the prison gradually became heavier.

One of them was revealed to be the bandit leader.

If Wei Yuan were here, he would probably recognize him as one of the people who killed him...
