THE ROAD TO HOME

"If you dont want her she will be alone, I know that you are someone with a noble heart and you would not abandon her, would you?" She looked again at those little pink cheeks and raising his gaze "I understand your majesty I will take her from now on I will be the one to call mother."

Taking the little Xue Yun in her arms, she immediately went to the maids' dormitories to pack her things when the words of the empress echoed in her head 'That girl will only bring bad luck!' she turns to see the baby in her arms "I will protect you whatever happens and I will fill you with all the love that your biological mother did not want to give you"

With everything packed discreetly at midnight he made his way to the apocents of the empress "my lady I have already prepared everything for me and my daughter to withdraw from the palace"

The empress got up from her bed "maid bring the money and the gifts for their farewell" with a small trunk and a bag full of gold coins "take these hairpins and fabrics will be enough for the girl to have some clothes and the gold should be enough for a few years of your life" timidly taking the bag and the trunk "thank you your majesty for such an extravagant reward" letting out a laugh she took her hand" on the contrary thank you for taking it."

Taking his way out of the palace to take his carriage prepared by his majesty "towards where madam is going" leaning on the hand of the coachman to get into the carriage "towards Shu please"

After a long and exhausting week of travel to get to Shu they were finally in the place they would call home, a beautiful second-state city with lots of resources and planting fields "My love im back" one of the farmers turned around quickly with a huge smile that overflowed with happiness "honey, a long time without seeing you, how are you? How was the trip?" giving her a tender but passionate kiss they stared at each other for a moment until the cry of the baby in the carriage brought her to reality.

"honey, do you also hear the cry of a baby?" she turned to the carriage 'how do I tell you the crying comes from my baby?' She looked out at the carriage and carefully took out the little baby, covered in blankets, her little pink face barely peeked out from the cold of the morning "whose baby is this?" approaching tenderly to look at the face of the little Xue "what would happen if I told you that it is ours?" A surprised face illuminated his face while he abruptly raised his face "that girl is not mine, how can you say that she is ours?" she took her husband's hand in a warm way "it's not that, darling, I have decided to adopt this poor girl" the husband took her husband's hand between his two hands "how did you adore her? where did she come from?" a sad look is reflected in his face "it's a long story let's go home so I can tell it to you".
