I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

On this increasingly cold New Year's Eve, Loach Lane was shrouded in a thick layer of sadness.

Tonight has become a sleepless night for many people in Loach Lane

Jiang Lai was also trapped in this long sleepless night.

She curled up in the slightly cold house, which was eerily quiet.

The sound of Qin Ruzhao kowtowed outside continued to assault her eardrums, the dull thuds coming one after another.

Each apology made her mood fluctuate constantly.

Jiang Lai was struggling painfully in her heart. She wanted to rush out to stop Qin Ruzhao's behavior several times, but looking at the brocade robe that was almost finished, she still did not go out.

She knew Qin Ruzhao's character, he was straightforward, and now that he was back, he must be feeling very uncomfortable.

Even if I go out, what can I say?

Now this is the only way for him to alleviate the guilt in his heart.

Jiang Lai could only endure the torment in his heart and pour all his emotions into the needle and thread in his hand. He unconsciously sped up his movements, allowing the needle and thread to shuttle rapidly across the cloth.

The cold air didn't get much warmer even with the coal stove.

Her fingers were already frozen stiff, and every piercing and pulling brought her excruciating pain.

Because of the increasingly rapid speed and the stiffness of the fingers.

Jiang Lai couldn't count how many times his fingertips had been pricked by the needle.

In Loach Lane, the doors that were originally closed slowly opened one by one, and all the people stepped out of their homes with mixed feelings.

Qin Ruzhao's parents were also among the crowd.

Their eyes turned to the pride of Loach Lane.

The young man who was already the general of the Divine Guard at such a young age.

He completely disregarded his own status and position, and kowtowed again and again to these unruly people who were as worthless as grass in the eyes of others. The wound on his forehead was bleeding profusely, and the blood soon formed into glaring blood scabs.

He seemed unaware of fatigue and pain and continued to kowtow.

The wound continued to burst again and again.

"Get up, Xiaotian, and stop kowtowing."

Qin Shanming's voice was trembling and choked with obvious sobs.

"We don't blame you!" Some villagers also echoed softly.

His eyes were filled with distress.

They walked forward quickly and wanted to help Qin Ruzhao, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everyone, for not bringing them all back."

Qin Ruzhao's apology, filled with guilt and self-blame, sounded particularly sad.

"Okay, Xiaotian, no one blames you." An old man shouted loudly.

"War is a war without casualties. You have already destroyed Tubo and avenged them!"

"They won't blame you in heaven!"

Everyone spoke to comfort him, and those sincere and simple words gradually warmed Qin Ruzhao's cold heart, making his eyes gradually red and tears welling up in his eyes.

Inside the house, Jiang Lai finally sewed the last word on the brocade robe perfectly after several nights of threading the needle.

She let out a long, tired sigh, but with a hint of relief on her face, and pulled the thread apart with force.

Then she grabbed her brocade robe, stood up and prepared to go out.

After being busy all night, her body was already exhausted.

As soon as I stood up, I felt a black screen in front of my eyes and a strong feeling of dizziness came over me.

She reached out to hold onto the table in panic, and when her vision gradually cleared up and she could see everything around her, she staggered slightly before rushing out the door holding the brocade robe.

"Brother Xiaotian, Brother Xiaotian!" Jiang Lai's clear shouts echoed in the alley.

When Qin Ruzhao heard this familiar voice, his heart trembled violently.

He knew that Jiang Lai had been looking forward to his brother's safe return.

Qin Ruzhao had never seen Jiang Lai's brother, but just yesterday, His Majesty told him that Jiang Tong was Jiang Lai's brother.
