The child loses the mother pain is difficult to control, more late night love is difficult to see;

The rebels were in a hurry, and the prince had to escape.

”After Tu Hai and the counselor left the palace, Xuan Ye slowly stood up and walked out of the main entrance of the palace. The cold wind blew outside and Xuan Ye couldn't help but shiver.” ”Zhang DeShun.” Xuan Ye called out to his father-in-law, who was waiting by the door.

”This old servant is here.” Zhang DeShun quickly walked forward.

”To the Peace Palace.” Xuan Ye said in a low voice.

When Xuan Ye arrived at the palace, it was already late at night. The gate of the palace was tightly locked. Zhang DeShun walked up and called out for him.

”Who is it?” The eunuch within asked, then said, ”The empress dowager has decreed that no one is allowed to enter or leave the Palace.”

”Insolent servant, the emperor has arrived!” Zhang DeShun shouted.

”Your majesty?” After a moment, the main door of the palace opened. Two or three older palace maids knelt on the ground and kowtowed, ”Your servant greets Your Majesty, and does not know that Your Majesty is here. Please forgive me.”

”Everyone, get up. It's the middle of the night, so you should all rest. Don't disturb everyone.” Xuan Ye said softly.

Xuan Ye slowly walked to the door of Rong'er's room. It was already past the hour of ugliness, but there was still candlelight flickering in Rong'er's room. Xuan Ye stood there for a long time without moving. He felt a faint pain in his heart. Xuan Ye nodded at Zhang DeShun and tried to get him to knock on the door.

”Rongzi, are you asleep?” Zhang DeShun lightly patted the door to Rong'er's room. ”The emperor is here.”

Soon, the door opened and Rong'er stood there, fully dressed. She had not slept the entire night, and her eyes were bloodshot. She could tell from the wet tears on her face that she had wiped them away before opening the door. Xuan Ye heartbroken strode into the room, embracing Rong'er as he called out softly, ”Rong'er.”

”Your majesty!” Tears flowed out of Rong'er's eyes once more. Today, she and the empress had silently shed tears, they had no other choice, the palace was sealed, the only thing they could do was to wait for the emperor and the empress dowager to successfully save their child. Now that they saw the emperor, Rong'er's heart trembled, she knew that this was a choice that would make things difficult for the emperor. They didn't say anything.

Xuan Ye didn't know what to say, and Rong'er didn't want to speak either. After a long time, Xuan Ye finally said, ”Rong'er, I won't ignore the sound barrier. I won't ignore my son, Wu Sanguan. I can't do this.”

”Your Majesty …” Your concubines are useless. They've lost the prince, making things difficult for the emperor. ” Rong'er whispered through her tears. She really didn't want to force the emperor.

”It's none of your business. They were cautious and arranged for people to stay in the palace, so how can we guard against them? It was I who wasn't strict with the imperial harem management, allowing them to take advantage of the loopholes.” Xuan Ye sighed and patted Rong'er's back. ”Rong'er, rest well. I don't want anything to happen to your baby, okay? ”

”Your Majesty …” Rong'er couldn't hold back his tears anymore. ”Your Majesty, Rong'er …” ”Rong'er is really scared, and Rong'er doesn't dare to sleep. Rong'er is afraid of having nightmares. As long as I close my eyes, I'll feel like I can see Chenqie crying for her mother to save him. Chenqie is really scared.”

”Rong'er, be strong. I will save my son. Do you believe in me?” Xuan Ye felt another surge of pain in his heart.

”Alright, your majesty. Rong'er believes in your majesty.” Rong'er used his hands to wipe the tears off his face. Looking at Xuan Ye, he said, ”Your Majesty, Rong'er believes in you. Rong'er will be strong enough to wait for Cha Yin to return.”
