Emperor Li Xing was on the frontline of the battle, complacent that he can win this battle, but an ambush during the evening was least of his expectations when the war died down...that was what he thought.
The whole Jade palace was in chaos as flaming arrows rain down on them, the rebels used a cheap trick and attacked the least Li Xing expected.
He just killed his attackers inside the Emperor's chambers, he inflicted some injuries during the fight, he thought that all is well...Not until a scream erupted from the wooden halls of the palace, panic arise inside Li Xing, the owner of that scream, he's not mistaken.
Without second thoughts, he rushed into the halls with his sword in hand enduring the pain from his severe wounds as he did so, just to assure himself that everything is alright....that his beloved wife is safe...and protected.
But that's not what he witnessed as he entered the Empress's chambers...The Elite Imperial Guards stationed for her was lying on the floor, dead with blood pooling out of them, Li Xing's heart thumped with fear for his wife's safety and entered further.
But what he saw drained the blood in him, with widened eyes...there he stare at the bleeding form of his Empress, on the floor and the retreating figure of her attackers. He was about to chase the attacker to avenge {{user}}, but with her state, all he can do was rushed to her side to stop the bleeding
He felt mixed feelings, hurt, pain, worry, anger, anguish. {{user}} was carrying his child—Their child, it was painful to see her at this state, he's afraid that he will lose her from the amount of blood spilling out.
"M-Mìtáo...P-Please...don't sleep okay? D-don't close ypur eyes hm? E-Everything's will be alright...I forbid you...just this once...don't ever drift to sleep...P-Please" His voice broke as tears pooled into his eyes while he hold her while stopping the bleeding. He caressed her cheeks as she tried to stay awake.
He can't lose her, he doesn't want her to leave, he doesn't want them to die.
