"Your Majesty... Chang'er is still so young. If you leave me, he will... in the future..."

The wind blew into the window crack, and the candlelight standing on the round table swayed gently. Queen He, who was holding the swaddled clothes, choked and sucked her nose, tears fell down, sobbing and rubbing her face against the delicate baby's face. In the voices, Li Ye, who was holding a wine glass, closed his eyes.

"What the queen said, I know... Chang'er is also my child... But he is the prince... If he stays, I am afraid that he will be another puppet in the future. He is still young, no better than his brothers. He hasn't seen this world and has not lived well yet... I can't bear to stay."

"His Majesty!"

Queen He is a woman after all, so she couldn't bear to give up her child. She knelt down suddenly while holding the cradle, stretched out her hand to pull the corner of her husband's robe, "Your Majesty, please... don't let Chang'er leave me. He is still young and cannot be without a mother."

"Queen!!" Li Ye grabbed her hand, gritted his teeth, and glared in his eyes, "You don't understand... Chang'er will only suffer more in the future. He has lost his mother for a while, but he is much stronger than losing his life. Being free outside is always better than being a cage like me. My Li family can leave a queen..."

The woman hugged her cradle tightly and lowered her head silently. Soon, the eunuch's words came out: "Your Majesty, Empress, and the Zijin Guanglu Doctor Hu Qing have arrived."

"Please come in." The emperor took a deep breath to relieve his mood. The queen on the side also got up from the ground, turned her back, and quickly wiped away the tears from her face.

The next moment, the door was creaking, and an old man with white hair bowed in, and he remained polite and respectfully delivered the emperor's gift, but was stopped by Li Ye.

"Hu Qing doesn't have to do this great gift." He helped the old man up, then asked the eunuchs outside the door to close the door, and walked to the table together. Although the Zijin Guanglu Duke was a scattered official, Hu Qing often accompanied the emperor. He knew the emperor's heart and had to ask him to come late at night. He would definitely give important instructions. He did not ask the reason and bowed to Li Ye for the order.

The old man was waiting for the emperor there and suddenly bowed his hands. He was so scared that he was just now, and hurriedly bowed forward and held Li Ye's hands up.

"Your Majesty, why are you? But if you have ordered the old minister, just issue an order. If you have a life of your life, you will complete it."

Li Ye looked at the old man's face and burst into tears. He suddenly felt that he had never lacked such ministers by his side, but he had never looked at them with his eyes.

"Hu Qing... You must accept this gift from me."

The emperor pushed the old man away, bent down in front of the queen and bowed down, "I have something to ask for it." As he said that, he asked the queen to carry the prince Li Chang, and hugged him in his arms and looked at the sleeping little man, which was very cute.

"Hu Qing, Chang'er is my youngest prince. She is too young. I can't bear it. So I let him follow me to the place where life and death are unknown. I want to entrust him to you, take him out of Huazhou, leave this vortex, and let him live freely and enjoy himself without being as cowardly as his father."

Li Ye reluctantly moved his eyes from the baby's face, endured the soreness in his heart, and handed the cradle to the old man. The latter's arms trembled slightly, took the child and hugged it in his arms. He also had a son and a grandson, and understood that no one wanted to separate his flesh and blood unless he had to.

Queen He, by the window, looked at her son who put the old man's arms away, and tears fell again, "Chang'er..."

"Your Majesty, Queen."

Hu Qing knelt on the ground with his cradles in his arms, "The old minister will teach the prince well and let him be a person who stands tall and upright. He will also tell him his life experience and recognize his ancestors in the future!"

"No, just follow your surname... don't let him know that he is behind the royal family, and don't let him do anything big..."

Li Ye took a last look at the child, turned around, and waved his hand on the old man's back.

"Let's go... Hu Qing takes Chang'er away."

"Honor of Your Majesty's Holy Will!"

The old man bowed to the figure facing his back for the last time, turned around and walked quickly to the door, opened the door and sank into the night.

"Chang'er!"

Queen He rushed to the door, looked at the figure of the old man walking in the night, called out softly, and slowly knelt down on the ground along the door frame.

......

"I heard that someone entered the palace late at night, is there anyone who is not good for His Majesty?"

A nightmare-like sound suddenly came, and it sounded from the palace gate in front of him. It was Jiang Xuanhui who said that a team of iron armor was extending in behind him.

The palace guard wanted to stop him, but was then chopped to the ground. The voice shouted again: "Okay, there are more than one assassin, disguised as a guard, left and right soldiers, kill all the palace maids and eunuchs here, and do not let one person be misplaced!"

Then, the fierce fighting sounded, the screams of the palace maids suddenly continued.

Queen He, who was following the door frame, woke up in shock, hurriedly closed the door, turned around and looked at her husband: "Your Majesty, go quickly, it is definitely not a good thing for Chiang to lead troops into the palace late at night!"

Outside, fighting, screaming was getting cleaner and cleaner, and palace maids were everywhere. The eunuchs ran in panic, and a wisp of blood splattered on the window frame, Li Ye came to his senses.

"Hu Qing held Chang'er and must have not walked away yet. If they were to find that Chang'er was not here..."

Thinking of this, Li Ye suddenly ran to another window, pushed open the window frame, and looked back at the queen, "I attract them and buy some time for Chang'er, the queen... If I encounter an unexpected situation, you must survive, and even if you survive..."

As he said that, he shouted: "Protect the car--"

He jumped, fell outside in a panic, stumbled and got up, and ran into the courtyard. Queen He rushed to the window. Before she could see her husband clearly, the door behind was knocked open. Jiang Xuanhui brought in with a knife, looked around with a fierce face, and saw that there was only the queen, and the voice just now, he looked at the open window and waved: "Your Majesty was held hostage by the thief and jumped to the window, go to chase after it-"

Everyone under his command ran away. On this side, Jiang Xuanhui glanced at Queen He.

"Queen, it's best not to walk around. The thief is still running around in the palace, so it's not good to disturb Feng Jia."

The night wind was soft, mixed with a little cicadas, and torches spread out in the palace, and there were screaming everywhere. The soldiers with quick feet were holding the torches and swords and soldiers rushed through the nearby corners of the rockery and water pavilions. When Jiang Xuanhui came, someone was shouting there.

"Your Majesty is here!"

"The thief holds His Majesty hostage on the side of the water pavilion..."

When Jiang Xuanhui came over, Li Ye was dressed in disheveled clothes and was constantly retreating. He looked at the firelight around him in horror. He suddenly stepped on the air under his feet and fell into the pond with a "bang bang", splashing countless water splashes.

The soldiers swarmed over and burst into the pond. In the fire, Jiang Xuanhui looked at the figure struggling and waving his arms in the water, his eyes were cold, and he raised his hand to his confidant.
