"How can my own flesh and blood be frightened like this?" He whispered to himself, then turned around and scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze, as if he was looking for an answer, or questioning why the entire palace could not protect his child. The atmosphere in the imperial study room instantly became solemn and tense, and every breath seemed to echo, and the air was filled with a sense of oppression that a storm was about to come.

This feeling makes people tremble and dare not speak.

Afraid of making people angry and then dying.

Chu Heng knew that this was not just the two children crying for no reason, but there might be a more complicated conspiracy and crisis behind it. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and decided to investigate the matter himself. No matter who was behind it, he would protect his family at all costs and safeguard the peace of this country.

In the deep and quiet palace night, the moonlight gently brushed over the carved beams and painted buildings like a fine yarn, but it failed to calm the waves in the heart of Empress Xie Chaochao. She lay on the brocade bed, and should have enjoyed the most noble sleep in the world, but she was tightly entangled by a sudden nightmare. In the dream, dark clouds covered the sun, and the palace walls were full of shadows. An inexplicable chill penetrated her heart, making her frown involuntarily in her dream.

Finally, she was suddenly awakened, accompanied by rapid breathing, and Xie Chaochao sat up abruptly, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead and fear flashing in her eyes. In the night, she looked around, everything seemed immersed in a strange silence, only the occasional chirping of night birds outside the window made her feel a little at ease.

"Someone come here!" Her voice was a little hoarse, but it was full of unquestionable majesty. Upon hearing this, the servants who were serving outside hurriedly responded and knelt in front of her, waiting for her instructions.

"Bring the child here. I want to see him myself." Xie Chaochao's voice was trembling slightly, which was a natural expression of a mother's endless worry for her child. However, the servant's answer was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the little peace in her heart.

"Your Majesty, the little prince seemed to have slept restlessly tonight. He was crying non-stop, and the nurse was trying her best to comfort him. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to disturb him at this moment." The servant's words were a little hesitant, and he had obviously noticed something unusual tonight.

Xie Chaochao was even more worried when she heard this. She knew very well that every cry of a baby would touch the mother's softest heartstrings. Thinking of her nightmare just now, she couldn't help but start to worry whether some ominous sign had befallen her beloved child.

"I don't care, bring the child here immediately!" Her tone was full of irrefutable determination. She stood up, put on a gorgeous brocade robe, and hurried to the crib. In the night, her figure seemed particularly determined, as if she wanted to use the power of maternal love to dispel all the haze and anxiety.

When the nurse carefully handed the child to her arms, Xie Chaochao gently stroked the child's tender cheek, and her clear eyes seemed to contain endless strength and hope. The child gradually calmed down in her arms, with only occasional sobs, as if expressing a little dissatisfaction.

"I will protect you and will never let anyone hurt you." Xie Chaochao silently made a vow in her heart, with determination and determination in her eyes. She knew that from this moment on, no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, she would use everything she had to support this child.

Empress Xie Chaochao suddenly woke up in the silence of the night. The moonlight shone through the window lattice, sprinkling on her pale and frightened face. A sudden pain came from her abdomen, as if thousands of needles were piercing her at the same time, but she had no time to care about this sudden physical discomfort. Her heart was beating like a drum, and her eyes were full of disbelief and deep worry, because the deafening explosion just now and the hurried footsteps that followed indicated that an unprecedented change had occurred in the palace.

She endured the pain, and with shaking hands, she grabbed the scattered clothes and put them on her body. Every step seemed extremely difficult, but also extremely determined. Walking through the dark corridor, every step seemed to be on a sharp blade, but she had only one thought in her mind - her children, she must make sure they are safe.

Pushing open the door of the next room, a cold wind mixed with an ominous smell blew in her face, making her heart tighten. In the room, the candlelight flickered, reflecting two small figures struggling helplessly in the cradle, crying loudly, and the sound was like a sharp blade, cutting her heart again and again. Xie Chaochao's eyes were instantly wet, that was her most precious baby in the world, the hope she protected with her life.

She almost rushed over, holding the two children tightly in her arms with her hands tenderly and eagerly, as if to isolate all fear and anxiety. Her voice was soft and firm, with endless comfort and love: "Don't be afraid, mother is here, everything will be fine." Her fingers gently slid across the children's tender cheeks, wiping away the tears on their faces, and every action was full of maternal glory and strength.

In the queen's arms, the two little ones gradually stopped crying, only sobbing occasionally, their little hands tightly grasping her clothes, as if that was their only support in this turbulent world. A warm current surged in Xie Chaochao's heart, which was the strength and perseverance of a mother, and the determination to protect her children no matter what difficulties she faced.

However, the outside world was still noisy, with flames shooting up into the sky and shouts of killing rising one after another. Xie Chaochao knew that the real challenge had just begun. But she did not back down, but just held the baby in her arms tighter, with an unyielding light flashing in her eyes. In this unknown battle, she vowed to protect everything she loved, even at the cost of her life.

At this moment, Queen Xie Chaochao is no longer the high and mighty ruler, but an ordinary yet great mother who uses her thin shoulders to support her children.

In the quiet and gorgeous bedroom, the soft candlelight flickered gently, adding a touch of warmth to the quiet night. The two babies, as delicate as newly blooming flowers, had previously cried because they had left the warm embrace. At this moment, under the gentle gaze and soft and delicate comfort of Queen Xie Chaochao, their tears gradually stopped. There were still crystal tears on their little faces, but they had bloomed with a reassuring smile, as if they knew that this gentle woman would wrap them with endless love.
