Wei Zi grabbed his clothes, tears falling heavily.
She gritted her teeth and endured it, but soon she couldn't help it anymore and burst into tears.
The last time I had such fear was a long, long time ago.
At that time, her parents passed away, and her whole world collapsed. She had nightmares all night long, walking on the edge of collapse and madness.
After seeing a psychiatrist for nearly two years, she buried this almost despairing gray memory in a corner.
I never thought that it would see the light of day again so unexpectedly.
Feng Danyuan was frightened. He had never seen Wei Zi like this before.
She seemed to have experienced the most terrifying thing in the world, her whole body was cold and she was shivering in his arms.
He pressed against her trembling back and injected his inner strength into her body bit by bit.
He didn't dare touch her sleeping point, fearing that the nightmare would sweep over her and make her even more frightened.
"Xiao Zi, I'm here, don't be afraid..."
He comforted her softly over and over again.
I don’t know how long it took, but the frightened Wei Zi finally calmed down.
Feeling that the stiff body in his arms softened a lot, Feng Danyuan patted her back gently and said, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?"
Wei Zi shook her head and sat upright in his arms, but her hands still held him tightly, as if she was extremely afraid that he would suddenly leave.
"I -" As soon as she opened her mouth, her tears fell again and she broke down in sobs.
Feng Danyuan quickly wiped her sleeves with her: "If you don't want to say anything, just don't say anything."
Wei Zi shook her head again, choked with sobs and said with difficulty: "The Wei family... Something must have happened... Father and mother, as well as eldest brother, sister-in-law and the others..."
She couldn't speak any more.
Feng Danyuan's brows froze, and his heart trembled.
*
Wei Zi's sixth sense was correct.
The people sent by Long Aotian had not yet received any news, but Linze came to the door.
He glanced at Wei Zi with a complicated look and said slowly: "According to Princess Yongtai, the emperor is seriously ill and Princess Liwan is supervising the country and intends to help the second prince Ji Xiu to the throne."
Wei Zi was startled and couldn't help but ask: "What's the reaction of the ministers in the court?"
Linze pursed his lips and then said: "Anyone who dares to disobey Princess Liwan will have their home confiscated and beheaded. They won't even be sent to prison. They will be killed directly."
Wei Zi's face suddenly turned pale, and her voice couldn't help but tremble: "What about the Wei family..."
"Wei Gong was the first to stand up against it, and the Wei family was also the first to have their family confiscated."
Wei Zi's body was shaky. If Feng Danyuan hadn't hugged her, she would have fallen to the ground.
"Father and mother, they..."
Linze sighed silently: "Except for you who left Longjing, Wei Lang, Wei Jue, and no one from the Wei family will survive."
Wei Zi's ears were buzzing and her mind went blank.
Suddenly a thunder struck in the clear sky, and she trembled all over. She suddenly remembered the row of memorial tablets and the dark coffins in her dream.
"No...no..." she murmured to herself, tears welling up in her eyes.
Feng Danyuan was also shocked and stared at Linze with his sharp eyes: "Is the news true?"
Linze replied: "It's true, King Yu is in a difficult situation now. Princess Liwan wants King Yu to obey her orders. If King Yu doesn't obey, she will take back the military power in his hands."
