After rebirth, I remarried the domineering 9000-year-old

Eunuch He explained, "I met your mother while I was out on business. She kowtowed to me and begged me to take you in. I thought you were quite good-looking, and since our Simajian was short of someone, I brought you back."

"Now that this has come to this, I'll just work hard in the Sima Prison! I'm sure there won't be any delicacies, but I'm sure I won't starve to death."

"Then my mother...is she okay?"

Fu Jiuli remembered that his mother was starving to death last night. His eyes were slightly red, and he wanted to know but didn't dare to know.

Eunuch He sighed, "She's dead. She must have been holding on for a long time. After I agreed to take you away, she collapsed and was no longer breathing."

Fu Jiuli's tears fell from her eyes.

Eunuch He just patted him on the shoulder, sighed and left...

......

"The moment I learned of my mother's death, I, like you, didn't want to live anymore. I felt like my life had no meaning..."

"But my life was bought with my mother's life, and I paid a huge price for it."

"I also promised that little girl that I would study, pass the imperial examination, and become a high-ranking official. Now I can't pass the imperial examination, but who says that eunuchs can't study or become high-ranking officials?"

"From that moment on, my life was no longer lived for myself, but for the two most important people in my life."

Fu Jiuli's words had a great impact on Xie Heng.

That day in the pavilion, Fu Jiuli, the chief eunuch in charge of Sima Jian, spent an hour telling him about this past event.

Then I asked him, "Is there anyone in this world who is extremely important to you?"

He nodded honestly: "Yes." His mother was the most important person to him.

Fu Jiuli asked again, "Does she want the child she gave birth to with so much effort, the child she hid and protected for so many years, to commit suicide and die with her?"

Xie Heng was silent.

At that time, it had been two years since my mother passed away.

Over the past two years, he had studied with the Imperial Tutor and learned how to handle state affairs from his father. He had already grown into a handsome young man, and it was no longer possible for him to say things like, "If she really wanted me to be safe, she should come and tell me in person," as she did before.

It would be impossible for his mother to come and tell him in person again.

But he also knew that his mother had only two obsessions in her life, one was his father, and the other was him.

She wanted him to live well. Otherwise, she wouldn't have forbidden him from leaving the cold palace, nor would she have hidden him in the closet when the former queen came to look for her. She wouldn't have cried beside his bed in the middle of the night, feeling deeply guilty for letting him down...

If he really committed suicide, my mother would surely die with regrets...

So after that conversation, he began to look at the world with his heart, began to live with his heart, and gradually discovered the loveliness of this world.

Therefore, in his heart, Fu Jiuli actually saved him twice.

......

When Prince Li told him about his past, he actually did not mention the name of the little girl who was like an angel in his heart, or where she came from.

However, ever since the news that the young general Shen Beiyue, the heir of Nanyang Marquisate, was a girl spread throughout the capital a few days ago, Xie Heng had guessed it.

The daughter of a wealthy family who died unexpectedly eight years ago, a mansion in the capital that provided free porridge during a severe drought, and a childhood sweetheart...

All right.

Combined with Prince Li's reaction to Shen Nanxing, what else can't be guessed?

Why would Prince Li, who never meddles in other people's affairs, worry about the execution of a prostitute? Why did Shen Nanxing's foot injury heal so quickly? And why did he suggest to his father that Shen Nanxing's mother be granted the title of First Rank Consort?

The answers to these questions are obvious.

He did all this for Shen Nanxing!

But since the girl was still alive and asked to marry him, why would he refuse? After refusing, he couldn't bear to see her get along with Prince Jing, so he proposed to go to Liangzhou to deal with the flood...
