My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

"Xue'er, I'm here." Li Mo patted her back gently and looked at the trembling person in his arms. Every time she sobbed, it seemed to tear at the most vulnerable part of his heart.

He embraced her into the house, sat down, put her on his lap, and continued to coax her, "Xue'er, I'm here..."

She kept hugging him and crying, her tears soaking his shoulders.

I don't know how long she cried before she slowly stopped. However, she refused to let him go. She still rested her chin on his shoulder and sobbed from time to time.

"He, Meng Nan, is my younger brother, a brother from the same mother..."

"I know, I know everything..."

“Li Mo, do you know how much suffering and pain he has endured… He was stolen by a human trafficker and resold three times. The last time, the buyer wanted to break his legs and make him beg. He was only three years old that year. It was Cui Hongqi who bought him, and he has recognized Cui Hongqi as his master ever since… Who knew, who knew that he was a beast in human form… Do you know what Cui Hongqi made him go through in order to train him into a killer without humanity… I don’t even know how he survived…”

"Well, I understand... Don't worry, I won't do that again in the future. I will not only protect you for the rest of my life, but I will also protect him, your family, and everything you care about..."

"Li Mo, Li Mo, thank you. It's great to have you... Li Mo, why are you here?"

"Knowing you're here, I came here naturally. I just said that I will protect you for the rest of my life."

"You said you would come back to Dongbin to see me in a month at most, but you broke your promise... I'm afraid something will happen to you, Li Mo. I don't want you to carry the burden for me forever. I don't want you to bear so much alone, so I came with you. Promise me that if there is anything in the future, we will carry it together, okay?"

"Okay, I promise you."

"Li Mo, why do you treat me like this, I... Li Mo..."

"Xue'er, are you willing to follow me back to Snow Wolf River and to Forget-Sorrow Valley?"

Li Mo noticed that the little head on his shoulder nodded vigorously a few times, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

Is she willing to go back to Snow Wolf River with him? Is she willing to spend the rest of her life with him?

He straightened her body and looked at the tear-stained little face so close to him. His heart ached again. He reached out and rubbed her head. "Are you really willing? I mean, to be with me, forever..."

"I do." Mei Xueer looked at the handsome face in front of her with red and swollen eyes, as solemnly as if she was answering the question "Are you willing to marry him?" at a wedding.

As she spoke, she pulled out a red string from her neck. It was a wolf tooth with her body temperature. "Look, I always carry this dog tooth with me... I not only want to marry you, but also have a group of children with you. We can ride on the wolf's back with the children and gallop freely on the snow-capped mountains. I also want..."

Li Mo immediately blocked her from saying the rest of the words.

The moment his lips touched hers, she could not say anything, as if all her senses were focused on his lips.

His lips were moist and delicate, but the tip of his tongue was full of the domineering power of an invader, which made her dizzy and her whole body soften.

She felt like she was about to fall, into a wonderful yet bottomless abyss, so she quickly reached out to hook her hands around his neck, her palm tightly gripping the wolf fang.

If that really was an abyss, even if it was hopeless, she was willing to jump in, as long as Li Mo was by her side.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally let her go and held her tightly in his arms again.

His chin rested on the top of her head, and on his handsome face was a satisfied smile, "Xue'er, I will give you a grand wedding, and let all the wolves in Snow Wolf River come to witness it..."

Mei Xueer: ...

Looking at the woman who was gradually falling asleep in his arms, Li Mo's beautiful eyes were filled with both heartache and doting.

He pecked her gently on the lips, put her on the bed, and then went out, gently closing the door and telling Ah Suo, "Go get ready. I want to take her home as soon as possible."

Prime Minister Mei has been rescued and the Mei family has been properly resettled, so there is no need for him to stay in the capital of Zhenguo any longer.

As for the grievances and hatreds between Cui Hongjing, Cui Hongqi and Cui Qimo, father and son, he didn't want to get involved anymore.

Now, he just wants to take the woman he loves, away from this place of trouble, and leave Zhen Country.

Living with the wolves of Snow Wolf River will make your life purer.

At the same time, in the Zhenguo Palace, Anyuyuan.

The eighth prince sat in front of the window, looking at the gate of the courtyard.

He has been sitting here without eating or drinking for a whole day and night.

Because his mother, Lin Cairen, disappeared again.

My mother finally got out of the cold palace, but she only stayed with him for less than half a month before she left him again.

A few days ago, my father orally ordered my mother to come over.

When leaving, Lin Cairen hugged her son tightly and whispered in his ear, "Remember, don't be willful in the future, and don't hurt yourself no matter what. Promise your mother that you will live. I will make you some crispy pastries when I come back."

He didn't pay attention to what his mother said at the time and just nodded vigorously.

But it has been several days and my mother hasn't come back yet.

He knew that his mother would never come back.

He did not hide his father's oral instructions from him. This was a warning that his father gave him without reservation.

Over the years, he never knew why his father had kept his mother in the cold palace but not killed her.

Now he knew, his mother told him, it was because she accidentally found out a secret about Concubine De and Prince Qi.

That's a big secret.

She knew that if she spoke out, she would be killed immediately.

She didn't want to die because her son was still young.

So, she remained silent.

The Eighth Prince's fists were clenched until they turned white, and his nails left blood on his palms.

He clenched his teeth tightly and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

He figured it all out.

He hated himself. If he hadn't been so stubborn and wanted to rescue his mother from the cold palace, his mother might not have died.

If mother hadn't told that secret, she wouldn't have died.

But if you say it out loud, you will die.

But my father told my mother that he was really going to die this time, and in order to see his son for the last time, my mother finally compromised.

Perhaps the mother had guessed this outcome long ago, but she did not blame him, instead she accompanied him in his mischief. She had no regrets until her death that she could accompany her son before he died, even if she only fulfilled her mother's duties for half a month.

Tears dripped from the corners of the eighth prince's eyes, leaving two tear stains on his young face.

The antidote that Mei Xueer brought back was truly effective and pulled him back from the brink of death from poisoning again, but his body was still a little stiff.

"Aunt Shu." He called softly, "I don't blame you, and I don't regret it..."

Apart from his mother, this was the only person he trusted in the palace.

After being woken up, he remembered that Concubine Shu had been forbidden to visit him.

He became more lonely.
