Chapter 116 I will bear all the sins 4
"Go get another bowl of Baiyun lotus seed soup."
Xue'er gave irrelevant instructions to the dumbfounded maid beside her. She only said tremblingly:
"Yes, it's Princess."
He stumbled out.
Xue'er looked at Madam Dou again with a distressed look, and sighed deeply, saying:
"If it weren't for my grandfather behind the scenes, my father would have known about this long ago. This incident has spread like wildfire, and everyone in the streets and alleys knows about it. This is such a matter of great public outrage. Do you think my father will really forgive him just because he's a relative?"
Hearing this, Dou Mingtie stepped forward and nodded to Xue'er, then said:
"We two elders know that this rebellious son has done many wrong things, but even if the emperor knew, he should personally order his death. Princess Lanying, why are you doing this?"
Xue'er could see that her uncle was extremely distressed as he watched his son die in front of him but was powerless to do anything.
Xueer could see that the love of these parents was so sincere!
So beautiful!
For a moment, he thought of his mother and his father, and his heart softened.
"Uncle Xue'er has his reasons for doing this. I believe that Fifth Brother will arrive soon with the imperial edict from our father. Rather than letting my cousin die on the guillotine, it would be better for him to realize his faults and end his life by hanging himself."
Seeing Dou Mingtie looking at him with an expression that seemed to understand but not quite understand, he said:
"Don't you know how afraid of death my cousin is?"
"Instead of letting him desperately cry for mercy on the scaffold, being beheaded amidst the spitting of the entire city, why not let him truly repent and end his life on his own?"
"You must know that the Dou family is a family of iron will, willing to sacrifice their lives on the battlefield, but we cannot let the people point fingers at us and accuse us of being cowardly and harming the people!"
Xue'er spoke with great vigor, and she threw the teacup on the table with her little hand and stood up.
He gritted his teeth, stared at Dou Mingtie's eyes with two firm and bright eyes, and his little face, full of dignity and glory, was not afraid at all.
At this point, Dou Mingtie fell back in his chair. This time, the aura of a great general in him had diminished a lot.
Shaking his head helplessly, General Dou, who had never shed tears before, finally shed tears.
"I've fought on the battlefield for decades, but not even a little kid can see clearly."
Holding her head in her hands and sobbing, Mrs. Dou no longer resented Xue'er after hearing what she said. She just stood up and walked towards Dou Mingtie, crying:
"General, general."
At this time, the sound of helmets and armored men running quickly came in, getting closer and closer.
This momentarily distracted everyone in the hall. Dou Mingtie stood up as if he didn't understand why, looked outside and then at Xue'er.
"Fifth Brother is here."
Dou Mingtie helped his wife up and was about to walk out when he saw a young man in white clothes, elegant and handsome, approaching. Who else could it be but Prince Yun?
The handsome and heroic man in white clothes cannot be ignored the moment he steps into the hallway with his powerful footsteps.
Seeing that Xue'er was safe and sound, he became even more handsome with a charming smile.
The jade-bone fan opened with a swish, gently swaying under the pointed and slightly raised palate, and the steps also slowed down.
It was as if the impatience he showed the moment he entered the door was all pretended, and at this moment he was the real His Majesty Prince Yun, calm and composed.
