d. He had a knife in his hand and chased after us. We all knew exactly what he intended to do.""Jinxiu would absolutely not have hung you guys up for no reason, she's not someone who starts trouble.""...Chapter 1237: Her Youthful Mindset Leaps Beyond...
Hershel lowered the curtains and sat up straight.
"Only I know the effort you put into this."
The only drawback of Sister Jinxiu is that she is too soft-hearted.
If she hadn't had a kind heart, he probably wouldn't have lived to this day. He wouldn't have been able to return to Xixia and regain his status as a prince, let alone even have a chance to claim the throne.
Having thought about this, Hersh realized he wasn't in a position to say that to her either.
"Let's go."
The Wang family's convoy was gone, and Fang Jinshu followed He Sheng back to the palace.
After the Wang family's affairs were settled, the King of Xi Xia gradually recovered his health. His ambition also flared up more rapidly.
"Oh no! Your Highness, oh no!"
The maidservant of Changxin Palace hurried along, her tiny steps quickening into a run, beads of sweat dotting her forehead.
Fang Jinshu heard the sound from afar. She sat up and reminded the Empress Dowager.
"Your Highness, Yin'er is back, but she brings bad news."
The eldest princess was taken aback. She lifted herself from the edge of the pond, her sleeves soaked from fishing.
"How come I didn't hear Ainer's voice Are your ears that long, able to hear from so far away"
The eldest princess had just finished her first sentence when she saw Yin'er appear at the entrance of the courtyard. Looking at her expression, the news she brought was definitely not good.
"My lord, something terrible has happened. Just now we received news that His Majesty is planning to reorganize the army and march on Dayi."
Hearing this news, Fang Jinshu's brows furrowed tightly. The Princess waved her hand, dismissing Yin'er.
When everyone was gone, she turned to Fang Jinshi and started complaining.
"You should have just killed him when he was bedridden and helpless. Now look, he's starting another war."
"Your Highness," Fang Jinshu said helplessly, "Do you think His Majesty is a vegetarian"
"Although he was lying in bed sick and unable to move, it doesn't mean there weren't other arrangements made around him. If I had really killed him at that time, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have the chance to know that Zongyu was still alive."
"I killed him, and I'm surely going to die. I don't want to die yet. If I die, Ah Yu will probably go insane and destroy the world."
"By then, what matters if there are Daxia and Xixia You'll see if he even cares about these people's lives."
Hearing this, the elder princess raised an eyebrow. "Hmph, hmph, hmph, you say my son would go mad for you and destroy the world The little girl has a big enough ego already."
Fang Jinshui smiled proudly, "That's not me being narcissistic."
"Similarly, if anyone dares to harm him, I would pay with my entire life to make them pay in blood. Even if that person were a king."
Ruqing was taken aback by Fang Jinshu's earnestness, standing frozen for several seconds before coming to her senses.
Although she still said words of disbelief, a hint of satisfaction flickered in her eyes. She was almost relieved that her son had chosen a partner like Fang Jinshu, a woman who wasn't bound by rules and traditions.
To love boldly, to hate resolutely, to act with conviction.
He didn't make the wrong choice, and he was also lucky. Unlike her from back then, she was so blind.
Thinking of that person, a trace of wistful disappointment flashed across the long princess's eyes.
"Your Highness, Great Xi has finally had a chance to catch its breath. We must not let Your Majesty reignite the war."
The Crown Princess let out a cold snort. “Your Highness, Your Highness, you married my son and even gave birth to grandchildren for me. Even now, you still address me as Your Highness and refuse to call me Mother. Do you take issue with my Western Xia bloodline, because our positions differ”
Fang Jinshu's face was speechless, this is completely different from what she imagined.
"Aren't we talking about sending troops right now Are you that concerned about this label"
The Crown Princess nodded seriously. She couldn't hear her son call her "mother" with his own mouth, so it would be nice to hear him called that by his daughter-in-law too.
At the very least, she was the apple of her son's eye.
She was afraid she wouldn't live to see Ayu, and she wouldn't hear him call her "mother." If the daughter-in-law were willing to call her that, she could accept it as if her son had called.
If I die, it would be without regrets.
But this request really put Fang Jinshui in a difficult position. She truly wasn't someone who could casually call a woman she had just met "mother."
At first when I came to the Zong family and saw Mrs. Mu, I couldn't even bring myself to call her "mother."
After going through a lot, she felt kindness and the warmth of maternal love from Mu, and only then did she let go of her resentment and sincerely call her "mother."
From a certain perspective, Fang Jinshu is a very loyal person to his heart. He doesn't call someone by their name if he doesn't truly acknowledge them from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing her standing there twisting and turning for a long time, with a face full of embarrassment and distress, the elder princess felt deeply disappointed in her heart.
But burst into laughter on his face.
"So there are things even you can't handle in this world. I really thought you were invincible."
"The way you faked your death last time was truly skillful, seamless even. Not even Your Majesty saw through it."
"This is a good move, it can save your life in case of danger."
Fang Jinshi chuckled, "My life-saving skills are more than just these."
The Crown Princess touched her increasingly youthful face and casually asked, "Is this change in my body also one of your methods"
"Where do you get that water you give me every day"
Fang Jinshu gave the Princess Long a spring water, and it was the purest spring water with many essences added.
After all, she is Zong Yu's biological mother. She still wants to bring her back safely to Da Xi so that Zong Yu and his mother can reunite. If Zong Yu saw a white-haired, haggard mother at that time, he would definitely feel heartache.
So now she is doing her best to take care of the elder princess's health. On the one hand, the two of them can practice better and continue to cause trouble in Xixia. On the other hand, it will also help the elder princess maintain a good mental state.
Secondly, it is for the sake of reputation.
But she still hadn't completely trusted the Princess, naturally wouldn't tell her the secrets of the space and the spring directly.
This princess was not as simple-minded as Mu Shi. She also needed to prevent herself from being sold at any time.
After all, this Empress in the palace is her own blood sister and brother, and they are both members of the Western Xia imperial family. In essence, their positions are opposed to hers.
Fan Jinshi smiled without answering, clearly unwilling to answer. The Princess felt speechless and waved her hand dismissively.
"Enough, enough. You, as my daughter-in-law, are truly inconsiderate. You won't say a word when I ask you anything."
She understood in her heart that Fang Jinxiu still didn't fully trust her, and she couldn't blame him.
"This palace is of the Xixia royal family. Since Your Majesty intends to send troops to Daxixi, it is for the expansion of our Xixia territory. What reason would this palace have to object"
The princess wasn't happy, so she just gave up.
Fang Jinshu's lips twitched. "Ayu is still guarding the border. Your Xia army is several times larger than Da Xi's, he's working very hard!"
A tinge of sadness touched Rao Qing's heart for her son, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Your Majesty is going to send troops, what can a mere concubine like me do"
Fang Jinxiu was feeling resentful. She had spent some time by the side of the Princess Consort and had gotten a sense of her biological mother's character. She knew that everything she was saying now was intentionally meant to provoke her.
Sometimes, this princess truly acts like a child. At her age, her thoughts are so out of the ordinary that even young people like me can't keep up with them.or of a prince's daughter.Fang Jinshi stared at Dong'er, lost in thought. What the imperial physician had to say was actually within her expectations. At this moment, what she was thinking about was s...
