Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2018

Only a commander who truly values ​​the lives of his soldiers can make his soldiers follow him until death.

Some people in the army were talking about how the Ninth Prince followed the commander all day long, and they were probably trying to gain military merit.

Xiao Jiu was not annoyed after hearing this, but worked even harder. He got up before dawn every day to polish Cen Yuan's armor until it was shiny; he stayed outside the tent late at night, ready to be dispatched at any time.

As a prince, he truly fulfilled the duties of a guard.

At the same time, he was also very proud that he, like Tang Xinghe and others, was a student of the prince consort.

The tragedy of that day still replays in Xiao Jiu's dreams.

The incident with the prince consort happened right under his nose.

At that time, he also wanted to rush to save the prince consort's life like Mo Baoer, but he was held down by four bodyguards.

The guards had received orders from the commander-in-chief not to let the prince be in danger.

The prince consort didn't let anything happen to the prince, but he himself lost his life.

The whole country celebrated on the day the army returned home.

Xiao Jiu was mixed in the triumphant team, listening to the people cheering, but tears blurred his vision.

This victory took away the person he admired and trusted the most.

The young man felt unbearable pain in his heart.

Now that his brother had done such a ridiculous thing shortly after the death of the prince consort, Xiao Jiu just felt a tightness in his chest.

The imperial sister is the person the prince consort loves most in his life!

He knelt on one knee, feeling extremely guilty, "Imperial brother apologizes to the Imperial sister on behalf of the Emperor."

Shi Anxia bent down and reached out to help him, but she found that the boy's arms were stiff. She sighed, "It's not your fault, why are you apologizing?" Suddenly, she said in a deep voice, "Get up, you represent the face of the royal family."

Xiao Jiu then stood up with his head down, "Is the emperor disappointed?"

Shi Anxia was silent for a moment, then led him to a seat and said calmly, "These are all adults' affairs, you don't have to worry about them."

Xiao Jiu said stubbornly, "I am not young anymore." After a pause, he added, "My sister is not old either."

Shi Anxia looked at the boy's clean but gloomy face, and still hardened her heart and did not tell him that the prince consort was still alive.

Neither of them dared to touch the topic of the prince consort, and fell into a strange silence for a while.

In the end, it was Xiao Jiu who spoke first, "Royal sister, I want to leave for Tiema City, is that ok?"

Shi Anxia was surprised, "Huh? What are you doing in Tiema City?"

Xiao Jiu looked up and asked, "Why did the emperor go to Iron Horse City?"

Shi Anxia's mind raced, "I'll go there and wait for the prince consort to come home."

"Me too," the boy said with red eyes, smiling for the first time, "I'm going to wait for the charcoal seller to come home too."

Shi Anxia: "......"

"I can also help you take care of the children." The boy asked casually.

Shi Anxia's heart skipped a beat.

The last person who said this is now imprisoned in the palace! No one should ever ask me to take care of my child again, it sounds scary.

The boy was serious. "The children should have been raised by their father, but..." He didn't want to dwell on the sadness and simply changed the subject. "I protected them with my life."

"But you have the responsibility to protect more people." The person who said this was not Shi Anxia, ​​but the emperor who had been standing at the door at some point.
