A separation that will lead to death
In the end, how to get Cai Han to leave was a problem that gave Jun Xu a lot of trouble. Looking into Cai Han’s eyes, she just couldn’t bring herself to say anything unpleasant. Whenever the child smiled, her heart would melt, and naturally she would feel like waking up with the sun. If because of her, the child cried… Jun Xu let out a long sigh. Two days have passed since she promised to get rid of the child within three days. In the past two days, all she has done is try her best to be nice to him.
However, there is no more time.
‘Cai… Cai Han…’
‘My lord…’
‘I… you… you… you… I’m hungry…’
Cai Han’s eyes widen in surprise.
“My lord, what’s wrong with you? Haven’t you just eaten?’
‘Well, I mean… I’m thirsty. Mistake. Mistake.‘
Cai Han answered, but Jun Xu grabbed her by the arm as she turned around
’I won’t hide it from you anymore.‘
’Master?‘
’You’re poisoned, because of me.‘
’Master… Master… I…‘
Jun Xu turned her head away
’You… have to leave in order to survive. Cai Han, go.”
Cai Han turned around sharply and stared at Jun Xu
‘My lord, you lied to me.‘
’I did not.‘
’You did! You like General Tong Xiao, and you don’t want Cai Han around anymore!‘
Jun Xu’s hair stood on end.
’Nonsense! I would never like that monster!‘
’Then Cai Han is not leaving! Why should Cai Han leave?!‘
’Cai Han, I want you to live! I, Jun Xu, want my baby to be safe, happy, and content. Can my baby do that?’
‘No… If I leave my master, I won’t be able to be safe or happy. My master told Cai Han to go… Why don’t I just let Cai Han die by your side?‘
Junxu sighed, frowning, his face full of despondency
’My dear… You have let me down.‘
Cai Han raised her doe-like, panic-stricken eyes, her lips quivering violently, struggling with every fibre of her being
’My lord… My lord… I…’
‘Is my lord a complete waste? Have you never given Cai Han any peace?‘
’No!‘
’I know that I have never been a favoured, capable princess. Apart from being beaten and scolded, Cai Han has also been looked down on and bullied when she was by my side. I have lived this long, and is there anything that can make Cai Han believe in me and think that I am a person who can stand up for themselves?‘
