The Du Jinse in the portrait had a head full of white hair and a face full of wrinkles.
Seeing such an old portrait of himself, of himself, really wanted to cry.
However, looking at the man at the side, Du Jinse's mood was somewhat better.
Li Hao looked even older than she was. He was bent and hunchbacked, he no longer looked so handsome. There were even patches of old age on his face.
Du Jinse couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw such an old Li Hao. As she laughed, tears began to flow down her face.
In the portrait, the two were no longer young and beautiful, but Li Hao looked at her with the same gaze as now, and held her hand tightly.
In the portrait, two people were dressed in first-class robes, and Du Jinse was even wearing a phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes.
Du Jinse's eyes were filled with tears, but the corners of her mouth were curled up happily.
This was probably what Li Hao had promised her.
Even when the two of them had reached the end of their years, she was the only one by his side. She had always been his wife.
Li Hao returned very late. Although he had already washed up, Du Jinse could still smell a trace of the unnoticeable smell of blood.
"What is it? The enemy is here? "
Du Jinse frowned slightly.
"It's fine, you don't have to worry." Li Hao tried his best to suppress the hostility in his body.
Du Jinse crawled up, knelt behind Li Hao, and gently massaged him.
Li Hao grabbed her hand.
"Mo Mo, lie down with me for a while."
Du Jinse looked at Li Hao's serious face, and then laid on his arms obediently.
Li Hao's mood was obviously not good.
After a while, Li Hao finally opened his mouth and said: "We robbed their military rations, they naturally won't be able to hold on for long. Marshal Xiahou has long been prepared, so naturally we won't let them take advantage of us."
However, the battlefield was merciless. Even if they were well-prepared, how could they not suffer the slightest bit of damage?
Li Hao looked at the life that was still fresh and fresh just a moment ago, and then it suddenly stopped. He felt that life was unpredictable, and a person's life was actually so fragile.
Perhaps only at this moment would he be able to cherish what he was seeing even more.
"Your Highness, be careful of the enemy's desperate behavior."
Without military provisions, he could only wait to starve to death. If that was the case, he might as well risk his life and fight to the death.
Li Hao agreed.
"Today is just a test. There should be a big battle in the future."
Li Hao turned and looked at Du Jinse, "Mo Mo, you can go back to the capital first."
Du Jinse was startled, she sat up and looked straight into Li Hao's eyes.
"The Prince wants me to go back?" It looked like he had reached the final step.
Li Hao reached out to touch Du Jinse's face.
"Mo Mo, a girl's love is long, she must be short on heroic spirit. I don't want to become a coward on the battlefield because of you."
Du Jinse looked at Li Hao deeply, after a long while, she nodded, "Alright, I'll go."
Li Hao thought that he had to bitterly persuade her, but he never thought that Du Jinse would agree so readily. In that moment, he really wanted to keep Du Jinse by his side.
However, if he did that, and the city fell, he would be harming Du Jinse and his children.
He wasn't the only one. The Marshal had already ordered the women and children in the city to hide outside the city. After all, the flames of war were merciless.
"Shi San has already returned to the capital, and the prince is beside him right now. I …"
Du Jinse wanted to say that she could disguise herself and leave, this way she would not attract attention, and she wouldn't need to split up the manpower to protect her.
Li Hao continued, "The country is hard to decide, I cannot send many people to protect you, but, you are my woman, how can I ignore you?"
Du Jinse reached out to the painting at her side and said, "Your Highness, I really like this painting. I want to take it away."
Li Hao nodded.
Du Jinse suddenly reached out and hugged Li Hao.
"Your Royal Highness, promise me that you will return safely. The child and I will wait for you."
Li Hao nodded heavily.
"Mo Mo, do you remember Shi Er?"
Du Jinse stared blankly, then carefully brought up what for.
"Of course."
Li Hao continued, "I should not be hiding this from you, he is currently standing outside."
"What did you say?" Du Jinse was stunned.
Li Hao sighed, "Mo Mo is indeed loyal to you, since he has promised you, she will definitely not go back on his words, and will not do anything to I."
Du Jinse opened her mouth, but could not find a single word to say.
"Shi Er, come in."
Li Hao said.
Shi Er replied and walked in.
Du Jinse couldn't help but look over, when Shi Er walked in, it was a different face. When Du Jinse saw that familiar face, she reached out to take off her mask and Du Jinse glanced at him.
Du Jinse blamed herself for being careless, and allowed her to disguise herself.
"I wonder if there are still people with the prince to disguise themselves." Du Jinse felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Li Hao raised his hand and made a vow, "There's no one else."
Du Jinse nodded her head, "It's not the best if it doesn't exist, but Your Highness still needs to be careful."
Saying that, Du Jinse glanced at Shi Er.
Shi Er lowered his head and allowed Du Jinse to say anything.
Li Hao poked Du Jinse's forehead helplessly.
Du Jinse also didn't want to make it too hard on Li Hao, so she sighed and said, "You guys lied to me so much. Okay okay okay, don't say anything, I understand."
Du Jinse looked at Li Hao, "When do I leave?"
Li Hao looked at Du Jinse, "I'll send you out of the city tomorrow morning."
Du Jinse was shocked. So fast?
But she still nodded her head obediently, "Alright, I will listen to you, your highness. Since you said that Shi Er is trustworthy, I will trust him."
Li Hao heaved a sigh of relief.
It was because Shi Er had tried to assassinate him before, Du Jinse had always been against him. However, Li Hao felt that if there was anyone in this world who could disregard everything and protect Du Jinse, then that person would be Shi Er.
Even he would probably be tied down by some people, and might not even be able to choose Du Jinse immediately.
"Alright, rest early today, and get up early tomorrow morning."
Li Hao said.
Du Jinse nodded.
Li Hao instructed Shi Er, "You should go and prepare, and rest early."
Du Jinse saw that Shi Er had left and quickly went down to bolt the door. Li Hao found it funny, "Do you really dislike Shi Er that much?"
Du Jinse turned around and glanced at Li Hao, "I just feel that I'll be leaving tomorrow. I want to get more along with Your Highness."
When Li Hao heard this, he said guiltily, "I misunderstood you."
"Your Highness, you must promise me one thing, or else, I won't leave no matter what you say." Du Jinse pouted.
Li Hao raised his eyebrows.
"What is it?"
Du Jinse looked at Li Hao, and said seriously: "You are not allowed to tell anyone that I have a happy occasion, anyone."
Li Hao was startled. She mentioned it just at this time.
"You don't want that Shi Er to know?"
Du Jinse glanced at Li Hao, "I can't hide anything from you. Not bad, I do have a grudge against him, so I don't dare to trust him."
