Chapter 700

"Yelvchi is dead. She was assassinated by Princess Xinyue."

Huo Mingzhu gently holds Baili Jingqi's hand, as usual, the tone is ordinary.

"He Qin's team will come back in a few days. I promised Xinyue that when she comes back, she will be free."

With a smile on her face, Huo Mingzhu felt warm at the thought of that young girl.

Originally so cowardly temperament, for her mother, for her freedom, she also became strong up.

Once upon a time, Xin Yue, who could only cry and fight with death, was a weak girl. When she was forced into a desperate situation, she would become a sharp blade to kill.

"Yan'er appreciated Princess Xinyue in the court today. You didn't see the faces of those ministers, but you had to congratulate them. You thought I was blind."

The tone becomes sarcastic. Huo Mingzhu never hides any emotion in front of Baili Jingqi.

She knew that the ministers were dissatisfied, but they had to bear with me!

"Also, the frontier fortress's success report sent back a letter. My cousin has arrived and joined my uncle's team. After seeing off Xinyue, they are ready to fight against Mobei."

He reached out and gently picked up a hot towel to wipe Baili Jingqi's cheek. He had not woken up for a long time, and his face became more and more pale.

But at the moment, he looks so calm.

He hasn't had such a steady rest for a long time, has he?

Thinking about the past two years, it was this man who supported all the hardships alone and protected himself and his children in this huge palace with indifference. What is the pain that he has gone through, waiting alone today?

"It's time for you to have a good rest, too, but you promised me that you would wake up, you must wake up..."

After all, tears filled her eyes. Huo Mingzhu pressed her hand tightly on her cheek, as if he had done it thousands of times before. But this time, he would not touch her cheek gently, just lay lifeless in his palm.

Time passes quickly, and a month flies away like a blink of an eye.

The good news of the frontier fortress came back again and again. Lin Yunchu and pingyanghou united to defeat the enemy in Mobei.

Huo Mingzhu is in a high position. Her face is filled with joy and pride when she looks at the ministers below. Listening to Cao An's report, she looks as usual. Only when she is facing Baili Jingqi in the quiet time of night, she will talk about what she has seen and heard one by one.

But he didn't wake up.

Facing the sleeping man day by day, Huo Mingzhu deeply buried all the worries and pains in her heart.

In the daytime, she is the queen of Dayong Dynasty who is calm and resolute. In the evening, she is the wife who accompanies her husband.

"Yan'er grows up very fast. I've taken him to work in the imperial study these days. Sometimes I look at his small body straight, but it's just a child with a high desk. He can endure the boredom and follow me to read the memorials all day."

That little child, a child of the same age, should be tired of being coquettish and happy in the arms of his parents. Even as the prince and Prince, he did not restrain himself from growing up as fast as bailiyan.

Although he spoke to Baili Jingqi in a relaxed and proud tone, Huo Mingzhu's eyes were full of pain and guilt.
