"The prince is a person worth following. If one day, you can't persist, you might as well...just follow your own heart."

Hua Fei seemed to have exhausted all her strength when she said these words.

Akano Hanako looked at her mother in disbelief. She never thought that her mother would say such things to her.

You know, even when she was a child, her mother would tell her, "Japanese people must dedicate everything to the emperor."

This concept has always been instilled in all Japanese people since childhood.

And her mother has always been her role model and dedicated herself to this day.

But now that she could actually hear such words from her mother's mouth, she was so shocked that she couldn't put it into words. She even had the illusion that the mother in front of her was fake.

Hua Fei did not explain anything to Akano Hanako. Just because she had experienced it, she understood how firmly she believed in this path.

Even she wanted to give up countless times, and even she didn't know how she persisted.

But now, she already knows her fate.

Because of this, she figured out a lot of things in the last few moments, especially when she saw Akano Hanako coming with Takemoto.

She already understood that Akano Hanako was walking the same path as her.

But as a mother, her nature finally forced her to say what she just said. She didn't want to see Hanako Akano end up like her.

However, regarding her loyalty to the emperor, she still gave priority to saying "Don't forget your identity and mission."

As for what will happen to Akano Hanako in the future, she can no longer control it.

Of course it is good to be able to complete the task, but what happens after this task is completed? There will be the next more difficult task waiting for my daughter, and it is not really over until the last moment of life.

So even if it's just planting a seed in Akano Hanako's heart, it's good.

"Let's go, don't come to me again, and don't try to rescue me. You should understand what I said." After Hua Fei finally said that, she looked at Wu Yuan again.

He didn't say anything else, he just took a deep look at Wu Yuan and turned away.

What I want to say has been said in the questions and answers just now.

But Wu Yuan saw a mother's pleading look from Concubine Hua's glance just now.

This was something Concubine Hua had never said before, but in the end she still wanted to tell Wu Yuanneng to be nicer to her daughter.

Although Takemoto was a little touched by this, under the premise of all this, it was Akano Hanako's final attitude.

If Akano Hanako can really be trained by him in the end, everything will be easy. If not, then I'm sorry. He will not show mercy to anyone who threatens him.

Since Concubine Hua dared to endure it for so many years and wanted to assassinate Emperor Wu, Akano Hanako might not be willing to take action against him.

"Let's go!" Wu Yuan said.

But Akano Hanako was still standing there, staring blankly at the direction in which the concubine was leaving.

Xin Ruyan sighed softly. Although she had some sympathy for the mother and daughter, she would not interfere too much. She believed that Wu Yuan could handle it well.

Seeing that Akano Hanako was unmoved, Takemoto said in a more serious tone, "I said I'm leaving."

Akano Hanako's delicate body trembled, and she finally came to her senses. For some reason, Wu Yuan's order made her subconsciously obey and dare not disobey.

He walked back three times and followed Wu Yuan silently without saying a word.

Wu Yuan did not hit her this time out of consideration for a mother.

But he still said coldly to Akano Hanako: "This is the last time, don't let me say it a second time in the future."

"Yes!" Akano Hanako still agreed.

Soon, several people took the boy out of the underground palace.

After coming out, my originally depressed mood improved a lot, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, no accident occurred.

"Hurry up and leave. It is estimated that the emperor will be back soon." Wu Yuan urged.

Xin Ruyan and Akano Hanako also knew the importance and did not dare to delay, so they quietly left Longyang Palace.

Not long after, when they really stepped into the East Palace, several people felt relieved.

"We're home!" Xin Ruyan said with a slight smile.

Takeyuan nodded, but then Akano Hanako suddenly looked at Takeyuan with burning eyes and asked: "Prince, if I want to save my mother, how much price will I have to pay?"

"Huh?" Wu Yuan looked at Akano Hanako with some surprise. He didn't expect that Hua Fei had already said that, but Akano Hanako hadn't given up yet.

Xin Ruyan frowned slightly, but this time he did not refute Akano Hanako's words like before.

As a daughter, it is normal to have such thoughts.

Xin Ruyan was also curious about whether Wu Yuan would help, and looked at Wu Yuan as well.

Under the gaze of the two girls, Takemoto did not give Akano Hanako an answer, but asked instead: "Are you willing to give up your Japanese identity?"

Akano Hanako's expression changed. She knew that Wu Yuan was not only telling her to give up her identity as a Japanese, but also telling her to completely let go of everything in the past, which was tantamount to betrayal.

Maybe if it were someone else, they wouldn't hesitate at all when it comes to motherhood and loyalty.

But Akano Hanako is different. She has been brainwashed for a long time. Loyalty is above all else, above all emotions of family and love.

It can be said that her desire to save her mother was a huge challenge for her. After countless internal struggles, this was already extremely painful for her.

For a moment, Akano Hanako couldn't answer Takemoto's question.

Wu Yuanze said without mercy: "It seems that you can't. In this case, don't say anything about it, and you have to understand that the biggest difficulty in rescuing your mother from the underground palace is not the danger of the underground palace, or even

It’s not Emperor Wu’s intimidation, the real difficulty is your mother herself.”

Akano Hanako's eyes narrowed slightly, she understood what Wu Yuan said.

Yes, even if she really wanted to save her, her mother would not agree.

Even in the end, even if she forcibly knocked her mother unconscious and brought her out, there would only be one outcome: her mother would commit seppuku and commit suicide.

At this moment, Akano Hanako seemed to have lost her soul, her eyes lost their luster, and her whole person fell into a state of confusion.

"Go down first and think about it yourself." Wu Yuan said expressionlessly.

Akano Hanako didn't respond, but her body started to move instinctively, and after a while she didn't know where she was hiding.

After Akano Hanako left, Xin Ruyan said to Wu Yuan with some admiration: "Even I want to help her, but I didn't expect you to be so sensible."
