The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

The queen raised her eyes and met Xie Rong's deep eyes, and her heart tightened.

He suppressed the fear in his heart, tried his best not to show any fear on his face, and acted submissively as if he was listening attentively.

She heard Xie Rong sighing long and hard, his expression unchanged as he continued, "Yuan'er was raised by me personally since childhood. He was intelligent, sensible, brave, and skilled in battle. He was my favorite. However, I never imagined that extremes would lead to failure, and that wisdom too extreme would lead to harm. As a result, I am now sending my young son to his grave."

"Although I am deeply distressed by this, despite being bedridden with grief, I still want to be there to witness his burial with my own eyes. I want to grant him some honor after he's alive, thus fulfilling the father-son bond we've shared for so many years. Do you understand?"

The Queen placed the medicine bowl on a small table beside her, lowered her eyelids to hide the sarcasm in her eyes, but put on a sad and understanding look on her face, and comforted Xie Rong:

"I understand. I understand the emperor's suicidal thoughts. Now that Prince Rui has passed away, the emperor should not be too sad."

"If the dragon's body is injured, not only will King Rui be restless in the underworld, but even the ministers and the people of the world will be worried."

Xie Rong's lips curled up slightly, and he nodded slightly, saying, "I can save myself from this, but it's inevitable that I'll be sad. Now that you understand, then go ahead and do it."

Upon hearing this, the Queen slowly stood up and was about to leave when Xie Rong suddenly said, "Li Shunquan said that the girl from the Shen family fainted in Prince Rui's Mansion?"

The queen paused and turned around stiffly.

She saw Xie Rong half-supporting his body and looking at her. There seemed to be a whirlpool swirling in the depths of his deep eyes. If she was not careful, she would be sucked into it and smashed to pieces, leaving no trace of her body. It was chilling.

Xie Rong's voice continued, "I remember that Yuan'er begged me for a long time to grant him and that girl a marriage. I believe he loves her very much and must be reluctant to part with her..."

After a long while, the Queen finally found her voice. She said calmly, "Your Majesty is right. Princess Jialin is not only deeply in love, but also has a kind heart. When she donated the disaster relief money, countless people remembered her kindness."

"Later, the soldiers who returned alive from the border to donate food were also very grateful to Princess Jialin."

"When I summoned her to the palace for questioning, I could tell from her words that she and Prince Rui had a very good relationship. Now that Prince Rui has passed away, she must be extremely heartbroken and fainted."

"But fortunately, Princess Pingning is here. The two of them share the same suffering and can comfort each other. I'm sure with Princess Pingning's help, she will slowly get over it."

"Furthermore, I feel that Princess Jialin is a tenacious person. Just looking at the Shen family, we can see that it is not easy for a woman like Princess Jialin to protect such a large family. Moreover, she is quite talented in business..."

After a pause, the Queen continued, "In recent years, there have been many natural and man-made disasters. The situation in the northern border is still unclear, and we don't know what will happen in the future. Princess Jialin is a person of great love and will definitely help when necessary."

After she finished speaking, the queen shut up, lowered her eyes, and let Xie Rong look at her.

After a while, Xie Rong said with a cryptic tone, "The Queen hasn't had much contact with Princess Jialin, but I didn't expect her to speak so highly of her."

The Queen's fingertips trembled slightly as she whispered, "I saw that the Shen family was not like those merchants who only cared about their wealth and their own interests, so I said a lot. I was only thinking about His Majesty and Dayue."

Xie Rong raised his eyebrows, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said, "The Princess Jialin has made great contributions to the court. Now that Yuan'er has passed away, since he likes her, he must also wish her the best. So let's call off the engagement."

"Since you have fainted, stay in the Shen Mansion and recuperate well."

The Queen nodded slightly when she heard this, "Yes."

He immediately turned around and walked out.

In just one hour, the news that the emperor, who had heard the tragic news of Prince Rui's death and lay in bed in grief, insisted on watching Prince Rui's burial with his own eyes had spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

Everyone sighs at the deep love between the Emperor and Prince Rui, and feels sorry for the Emperor having to send off his son at an old age.

It is a pity that Prince Rui did not live long. If he could survive this, with the emperor's favor for him and his military achievements, the position of crown prince would definitely be his.

As for King An, who died after attempting to kill his father and whose remnants killed King Rui, they denounced and cursed him, saying that he had brought his own death upon himself and had destroyed their hopes of life.

I hope that the Duke of Zhenguo, who is far away in the northern border, will not be discouraged after hearing this news, and will be able to guard the country's borders and save their lives.

Shen House.

Inside the light blue and white tent, Shen Qionghua lay quietly on the couch, breathing lightly.

Her long black hair was scattered on the pillow, and even in her dreams, there was a crystal teardrop at the corner of her eye.

Faint sobbing sounds lingered in Shen Qionghua's ears. Lin Wanru sat on the edge of the couch, holding Shen Qionghua's hand in one hand and wiping her tears with a handkerchief in the other.

Her nose and eyes were red from crying, and her voice was choking. "What a good child, humble, polite, and kind. How could he be gone like this, so suddenly?"

"Poor Hua Jie'er, she finally met someone she loves and just got engaged, but it ended up like this, wuwuwu~~~"

"My poor Hua Jie'er, why is your life so miserable? All kinds of things have happened to our Shen family, wuwuwu~~~"

Shen Yi, with red eyes, consoled her, "Mom, please don't cry. My sister is already sad enough."

"You've been crying non-stop. When my sister wakes up and sees you, won't it remind her of all her sad memories?"

Lin Wanru covered her mouth with a handkerchief and choked with sobs: "I know, but I just can't help it, wuwuwu~~~"

Amidst these sobs, Shen Qionghua finally woke up, "Mother——"

Shen Qionghua's brain was dizzy, and there was a bit of confusion in her eyes when she just opened them. Then her consciousness returned, and blood welled up in her eye sockets.

Lin Wanru suddenly heard Shen Qionghua's voice and quickly turned around. She wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief and then turned back. "Hua Jie'er, you're finally awake. You scared me to death. Are you feeling any worse?"

As she spoke, she saw Shen Qionghua struggling to sit up, and reached out to support her.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qionghua fell into Lin Wanru's arms and said aggrievedly like a child, "Mother, I... I had a dream. I dreamed... I dreamed that Xie Nanyuan died. It scared me awake."

"This is not true, is it? Mother, is it?" Tears slid down Shen Qionghua's cheeks and dripped onto the red quilt, leaving a deep red mark.

When Lin Wanru heard Shen Qionghua's fragile look, the tears that had stopped falling began to fall again.

She couldn't help but choke out sobs, "Wuwuwu~~~My Hua Jie'er——"

Shen Qionghua emerged from Lin Wanru's arms, staring intently at her, and asked, "Mother, this is all a dream, isn't it?"

Lin Wanru turned her eyes away, not daring to look into Shen Qionghua's eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Qionghua's face turned even paler. She shook her head with tears in her eyes, "No, I want to go find him, I want to go find him!"

As she spoke, Shen Qionghua suddenly lifted the quilt, stumbled out barefoot, and began to run.

"Sister Hua!" Lin Wanru was shocked and was about to chase after her to stop her.

Shen Yi was also startled and shouted, "Sister!"

Just at this moment, the door was opened from the outside and Shen Qionghua bumped into the intruder.
