C699 (1/2)

Although summer was hot, it was a rainy season.

Duan Chengxuan and his group of people sat down at a nearby inn, but no one was aware of their hidden identities. While processing official documents every day, they had to take advantage of the night sky to fly over the walls, and only then would they be willing to fall asleep after taking a look at Gu Yingyan.

Even so, Hong Xiao had his eyes fixated on Wu Qing in the depths of Duan Chengxuan's eyes. He couldn't help but open his mouth and say, ”That Your Highness is about to come. Even if he doesn't sleep well every night, it should be normal.”

”But I can't stay by my side.” Duan Chengxuan put down the letter in his hand, then his hands pressed onto the center of his brows as he said in exhaustion, ”Maybe it's a good thing that I'm going to seize the throne, besides Duan Chengrui.”

”It's not too late now.” Hong Xiao quickly said.

”She will not be a caged bird, nor will she like the struggle of the court.” ”I'm only worried that her current body will be able to hold on. If it's possible, then once she recovers, I'll accompany her to travel the entire world, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to live a carefree life.”

Hong Xiao and his subordinates were actually pleased.

If Navy Tide no longer had the King Jing, who could shake the world with his achievements, then the days of his subordinates would be safer. Similarly, Duan Chengxuan wouldn't have to worry about everything, and he could only wholeheartedly accompany his loved ones as they played around.

For people like them who walked on the edge of a blade, this was already a luxury.

Just as everyone was busy with their own thoughts, the door was slammed open by a waiter at the inn. He shouted, ”I have come to tell you from the house nearby! Your wife is in labor! ”

Just as he finished speaking, the door in front of the waiter had already been opened. As he fell to the ground, all he could see was a man's shadow.

Hong Xiao hurriedly followed, instructing the people around him to deal with this matter.

The waiter straightened his hat and got up, muttering to himself, ”His wife is about to have a baby, and she's even staying in an inn. What's the point of being in such a hurry now?”

It was just that the pouring rain outside the window had stopped Duan Chengxuan from leaving. Because of this heavy rain, he could not hear anything from inside.

Even though the two officers guarding the door were dressed in the clothes of the house guards, the long rod in their hands was stubbornly placed in front of Duan Chengxuan, and they said in a deep voice, ”These are all His Highness' arrangements. Please do not barge in recklessly.”

”Your majesty, aren't you being too ruthless! She gave birth to the child of my master! ” Hong Xiao rushed forward with dissatisfaction, lifting the soldier up with ease as his eyes turned red.

The latter's two feet left the ground, but the determination in her eyes did not change even a little: ”If not for His Highness' order, you all would not have been allowed to step through this door. My princess aldan has never been subservient to anyone, much less put herself at risk, what do you think your master is compared to His Highness in the eyes of the people of Erdan!”

Half of his words were filled with anger.

In the hearts of many people, the imperial clan was working tirelessly for them, and even the decorations of the imperial palace was the smallest in many countries. There were no altars, no red brick walls, no divine altars, no red brick walls, no red brick walls, no small number of people had seen the emperor and the crown prince before their eyes.

But now, the princess, whom they loved and doted on a lot, was in grave danger, so why didn't they feel a chill in their hearts when they had to entrust all the dangers to the cold-faced War God of another country?

Hong Xiao wanted to continue attacking, but Duan Chengxuan pulled him behind him.

”It's not that she's heartless, it's that I owe her.” As Duan Chengxuan spoke like this, blood seeped out of his tightly clenched fist, and only after suppressing it for a long time did he lightly say, ”I don't have to go in, but if anything happens inside, I'll charge in recklessly.”

The two officers grew even more dissatisfied, but they said no more.
