Li Rui covered his mouth and coughed up a pool of thick blood.
Fearing that Qiu Qianyun would see, he wrapped the handkerchief around his palm.
Li Rui paused for a moment and then continued, "Qianyun, you must also think about Xianxian. She has suffered too much over the years.

One of us must survive to give the children something to hold on to."
Qiu Qianyun, with tears secretly falling, lamented, "Prince, no matter what you say, I won’t leave. You leave a letter for the children, and they will understand us."
