I walked out of the meeting slowly and then I heard Lee telling the men "I will talk to her" and he raced my way. Mr Hu passed me as he rushed to collect the librarian so he can help me with crafting the letter to Yishen's uncle.
"Mingzhu... let's talk about this please, for the sake of Leilani" Lee stopped me half way and held my hand "This is suicide"
"You would have me abandon these people?"
"I would have you alive, for our daughter. You know what happens when a kingdom loses the war, the emperor dies"
I continued to walk "I know what happens to the emperor Lee, or you would like to remind me how you took Qianlong's head?"
"Mingzhu... You can be so stubborn sometimes. Will you listen to me, this is not jokes. This is our life at stake, we need to protect our daughter and ourselves"
