Chapter 594: She is the Wife of King Qin (2)_1
Empress Mo and Luo Xue quietly went into Princess Zhao Yang’s sleeping chamber. To their surprise, the royal chamber was deserted and cold, with no one on guard.
Empress Mo felt a pang of sorrow and instructed Luo Xue to guard outside of the hall. She herself rushed to Princess Zhao Yang’s couch.

Zhao Yang slowly opened her eyes, weakly gazing at the haggard mother in front of her, opened her mouth, and whispered, "Imperial Mother..."
Immediately, two lines of tears flowed down her face like torrents.
Empress Mo wrapped her in a hug and choked, "My sweet girl, you have suffered. I failed to protect you..."
Princess Zhao Yang struggled to shake her head, "It’s not your fault, mother. It’s my own foolishness and stubbornness that has hurt both me and you. I fear even my brother has been dragged down by me. I deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
"Yuyu, this is not the time for such words. Listen to me, you must set off to Liaodan with Saknu after daybreak..."
