It turned out that the lady often went to the palace to accompany the queen, and she happened to be seen by the King of Qi that day. Unexpectedly, the King of Qi coveted Mingyu's beauty and insulted Mingyu in the palace regardless of the righteousness between the monarch and his subjects. Mingyu knew that she had no face to see her husband again, and she was worried about her seven-year-old son, so she was distressed for three days and finally hanged herself. Only then was she saved by her husband who came rushing over.

The King of Qi took his wife and issued three urgent royal orders, ordering him to return from the front. His intentions can be imagined.

That is to force him to give up his wife, otherwise there will be a fallout between the emperor and his subject.

He could not disobey the king's order, but he was asked to offer his wife as a sacrifice, which he could never do.

General Chu had no choice but to flee with his wife and son overnight. Now the countries were fighting for hegemony, and he wanted to take his wife and son to flee to Chu. Chu was his wife's motherland. When he arrived at the Chu family, he believed that with the recommendation of his father-in-law, the three of them would definitely have a place to settle down.

Unexpectedly, the King of Qi had been prepared for this, and the news leaked out, so he sent 5,000 guards to hunt them down. The leader was none other than Lu Taishou, General Chu's political enemy in the court.

If we are caught by Governor Lu, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Husband, please, take Jianan away and leave me here."

Mingyu cried. She knew in her heart that the King of Qi wanted her. If she didn't leave, she would take the initiative to go to the palace to serve the King of Qi. She begged the King of Qi to let her husband and son leave for Chu. She believed that the King of Qi would agree.

"Don't be stupid. Even if you stay, that tyrant won't let us live."

General Chu turned around and looked at his wife affectionately.

"Don't cry. Our family of three will die together and live together."

If a husband is like this, what more can a wife ask for?

Mingyu cried and hugged her son tightly, praying to God in her heart to bless her family of three to escape from Qi.

But God did not hear her prayers.

Just a few miles away from the border between Qi and Chu, they were caught up by pursuers, led by none other than the enemy, Lu Taishou. Five thousand imperial guards against dozens of cavalrymen. That battle was truly brutal.

When Chu Jianan and his mother were driven into the territory of Chu by the three remaining followers, he looked back and saw his father, the great general of Chu, falling to the ground exhausted in a sea of ​​blood. At that time, if his father had committed suicide, his father would not have suffered the shame that followed. The King of Qi was so angry that he would definitely not let him go. However, in order to use up his last bit of strength to resist the pursuers, his father let him and his mother flee to Chu. He fell to the ground exhausted. He had no strength to commit suicide again. He saw his father surrounded by so many imperial guards in the night and in a sea of ​​blood.

Is the father dead or alive?

After three days of painful trek, the mother and son finally arrived at the capital of Chu and returned to their mother's home.

My maternal grandfather was the governor of the State of Chu, known as the Governor of Chu. For the arrival of the mother and son, my maternal grandfather did not provide shelter, but betrayed them.

In the luxurious prefectural mansion, my grandfather sat at the head of the table with a grim expression.

"Father, please send me back to Qi alone and leave Jianan behind."

"Mingyu, you are so confused. It's not that your father won't help you. You should know that this is the request of the King of Qi. The King of Qi sent an envoy to our country and handed over a letter to our king. He said that your husband was plotting a rebellion in Qi. He asked our Chu to hand over the traitor's wife to Qi. The King of Qi specifically asked for you and your son, and our king has already agreed. If I protect you, wouldn't I be a minister who disrespects the king's orders?"

"Father, you are so cruel."

Mingyu looked at the governor of Chu with tears in her eyes. This man whom she called father had sent her to the palace as a dowry for his political career, to accompany the princess of Chu to marry in Qi. Now, he was going to give her and her son away with his own hands. This was not what a relative should do, it was worse than an animal.
