206. RUN! II

Third-person POV

All the servants kowtowed to Hong er while Hong er lovingly stared at the two babies in her arms. She kissed the babies' forehead and tapped her nose tip on theirs. The babies stopped crying and fell into a deep slumber. Without looking away, Hong er called Ming Yu in a low voice.

Hong er: "Ming Yu."

Ming Yu: "Yes, Your Majesty Empress."

Ming Yu slowly walked towards Hong er's side.

Hong er: "Here, take care of them."

Ming Yu: "Wh-what do you mean, Your Majesty Empress?!"

Hong er: "Take them to safety too. Xue Lang, protect your little siblings, kay?"

Xue Lang: "Yes, Imperial Mother."

Hong er: "Good, now go."

Ming Yu took the baby boy while Huayun took the baby girl. With her other hand, Ming Yu held Xue Lang's hand but when she was going to walk away, she felt her hand being tugged. She saw Xue Lang staring at Hong er whilst holding out his pinky.
