The Princess didn't immediately let go of Fang Jinshi, but she was always influenced by her words, loosening her grip a bit. Fang Jinshi felt less suffocated and caught her breath.

"Your Highness, everything I said is true."

"Having been confined in this deep palace for so long, to find what you need, you have to take great risks, including now. I'm afraid my identity has already been exposed."

I came to find you just to confirm your safety, and there are a few things I don't understand that I would like to ask you.

The long princess narrowed her eyes, as if considering whether to believe the words of the person before her.

"You just said he needed my help, now you're saying you have no purpose Listen to yourself, can you even believe what you're saying"

Fang Jinshi saw that the other party no longer had that killing intent on their body, and her heart relaxed a little.

"A-Yu truly needs your help."

"The war between Daxie and Xixia is not yet at its final stage. The King of Xixia doesn't know Ayu's identity yet, but I think he won't be far from knowing the truth."

"You're still alive. When the time comes, the King of Xixia just needs to show this card of yours, and Ayu will likely be unable to win this battle."

"The entire Ke clan's lives are now in the hands of Emperor Da Xi. The Ke clan owes a debt of gratitude to A Yu for raising him. Coincidentally, their ancestors probably have some blood relation with the Western Xia royal family."

"So I said he needs your help, that's not lying to you."

The princess released her grip, letting go of Fang Jinshi completely.

"What do you want me to do"

"As you can see, my situation is dire. I'm afraid I can't do anything you ask of me right now."

Fang Jinshu smiled. "How is that possible There's just one thing I need your help with right now."

"What"

"I'm going to play dead."

Fang Jinshu sighed helplessly, "The Western Xia King already suspects my identity. If we don't act soon, I'm afraid he'll arrest me too."

The long princess looked at Fang Jinshu with suspicion, "Are you truly the daughter-in-law of my son"

When it came to Zongyu's name, a hint of tenderness crossed the Crown Princess's brow, a gentleness she herself hadn't noticed.

What does he look like What is he like in personality

"How did he know about his own origins"

"You just said his name was Zong Yu, right Ayu"

The Crown Princess's chatterbox opened very suddenly, Fang Jinxiu could only nod repeatedly. Seeing that she was still going to continue asking, she hurriedly interrupted.

"Your Highness, I can come in. Time is limited, this isn't a time for idle chatter."

"When I get you out, we can sit down and talk properly. You can ask me anything."

The Princess, mimicking her gesture, suddenly cut her off.

"What did you call me"

"Your Highness"

“Since you are Ah Yu's wife, how can you address me like this According to common customs, you should call me 'mother.'”

Fang Jinshi's lips twitched. Now was the time to quibble about names

"What's it called doesn't matter, the most urgent thing is to figure out how to get you out of here."

The elder princess hadn't seen anyone besides palace maids and eunuchs for too long. She chattered nonstop with Fang Jinshiu.

Argued with her again.

"Just now you said you wanted me to fake my death, isn't that the least urgent thing right now"

Fang Jinxiu was speechless.

"Your Highness, just say what you mean. Otherwise, let's go to the banquet first. Only with your appearance can we proceed with the next matters."

Upon hearing that Fang Jinshu wanted her to leave through that door, the Crown Princess's expression faltered for a moment.

Fang Jinshu noticed something was wrong and hurriedly asked.

"What's wrong"

The Crown Princess said, "This palace cannot go out."

"Why"

"Back then, I made a deal with Helq. As long as I was willing to stay here for life, he promised to protect my children."

"That child is Ah Yu."

Hearing this, Fang Jinshu couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"You also believe the words of the Xixia King."

The princess smiled bitterly, "Given the circumstances back then, I think even you wouldn't have made a better choice."

"If I told you that the King of Xi Xia not only failed to keep his promise but even allowed his own son to pursue and attack A Yu, if it weren't for both of us having a bit of luck and some skill in self-preservation, you wouldn't have the opportunity to see me today."

The long princess's face drained of color, turning pale as if she couldn't believe it.

"This is impossible. Although Helqing isn't a good person, he is an emperor. Once he speaks, his words will never be easily taken back. He wouldn't stoop to going back on his word."

Fang Jinshu could only speak briefly.

"Yes, he is unwilling to repent. Back then, the fake prince you left in Daxi Palace was that child of the clan family. He's already dead."

“I think after so many years, you should never have told the King of Xixia who your real child is, right”

"If the Western Xia King didn't care who the child was at all He could feign ignorance and not break his promise, wouldn't he"

"Why do you keep yourself locked away in the palace for a promise he will never keep It's been so many years, don't you want to see A-Yu one last time"

He has grown up, he is over thirty years old. By the way, we also had a son named Yuanbao.

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess was overcome with excitement.

"What, I have grandchildren already"

"Yuanbao, Yuanbao, what a good name."

"I really want to see them father and son with my own eyes."

The elder princess walked around the pillar twice, and finally made up her mind and said.

"Okay, I'll go out with you."

"You wait for me here, going out like this is not okay."

She turned and walked back into the palace. A while later, the palace door opened again, and a noble and elegant princess appeared.

Fang Jinshi looked at her mother-in-law's noble and unattainable appearance, a tremor of shock running through her heart.

If Princess Ruochang were a wise woman, it's a pity she was born in the wrong era. Such an authentic and intelligent woman, if she had been born in their time, would surely have been a leader among women.

"Your Highness."

The Princess reached out and placed her hand on Fang Jinshu's back.

"Let's go."

Fang Jinshu had never served anyone in her life, but she was willing to stand by this mother-in-law's side and be her foil.

The two of them, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, walked down the deep palace avenue. Though they were alone, the cold and desolate scene was shocking to any maidservant or eunuch who passed by.

The momentum of one person being able to withstand thousands upon thousands of soldiers, and two people being able to defeat a hundred thousand warriors, materialized at this very moment.

Upon seeing the Princess, everyone involuntarily knelt down and bowed. Even after so many years, she still held such great influence within the palace. No wonder the King of Xixia wanted to imprison her.

If the princess herself wasn't willing to be confined, the King of Xixia could definitely have imprisoned her.

After becoming a mother, a child becomes a woman's biggest weakness. Even someone as strong as the Princess isn't an exception.

"Your Highness, the banquet hall is just ahead."

Fang Jinxiu spoke up to remind, and the Princess chuckled lightly.

"Are you scared"

Fang Jinshi curved her lips, "Do you think I would have traveled thousands of miles from Daxixi to the West Xia Palace if I was afraid"

The eldest princess nodded, her eyes filled with approval.

She grasped Fang Jinshu's hand tightly, "Xixia has been too peaceful for too long. Even a lowly bastard like Helqing dares to deceive this Palace and run amok before this Palace."

"We, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, will give them a taste of their own medicine!"ough it. We've all been through poorer times before, and things are better now than they used to be. At least we still have sweet potatoes and greens to eat.In a drought, being able to eat greens is s...
