The Empress's message

"But I didn't get hurt. I have a long life to live," Lei Wanxi said with a smile. Nianzu found Lei Wanxi's hands were still trembling. He stood straight and grasped Lei Wanxi's hands.

"Brother Wanxi, you are scared." Nianzu caressed his hands. "The mother I respected the most, loved the most, did this today. She tried to harm my younger brother just to destroy the evidence," Nianzu stated. Lei Wanxi saw the tears on the edges of Nianzu's eyes.

"The arrow could have hit Brother Nianzu's arm. Anything could have happened in that situation. Brother Wanxi can lie to everyone that he's alright, he's strong, but how will he lie to his Fourth Brother?" Nianzu questioned him.

Lei Wanxi pulled his hands back and locked them behind his back.

"I accept that I am scared, but Brother Nianzu doesn't have to take the blame for that. He didn't even know anything about this," Lei Wanxi said and pouted his lips.
