General Li entered the Li Manor with Li Diu. His frown was still visible on his forehead after he had seen the imperial guards on his manor's gates.
"Father, now don't make a face like this. If Mother saw you like this, then she will think that you have turned old."
Giving a stinky eye to his son, General Li said
"You are old."
And then walked further inside.
No maids, no servants not a single sound except his and Li Diu's footsteps could be heard inside the manor. That's how they have made his manor in his absence.
'Fortunately, The Emperor had called those Imperial guards back to the Imperial Palace or he wondered what his father would have done to them after seeing all this.'
Seeing the deepening frown on his father's forehead, Li Diu thought.
It was inside the living room that they finally found the whole family.
So silent.
General Li had never seen his family sitting so quietly like this.
"Elder brother."
He called out to Li Qiang.
Li Qiang seemed to think that he was having hallucinations but still he swiftly raised his head and turned to look towards the door.
It was not only him who was shocked. The whole family was looking towards the door.
Since the Imperial guards were guarding the Li Manor's gates no one in the Li Manor came to know that General Li and Li Diu had been found and they had come back to the Imperial City.
"Li Heng…"
Li Qiang whispered and stood up from the couch.
"Second Brother."
It was Li Jiang who first stepped forward and hugged General Li.
General Li laughed and patted his younger brother's shoulder. He then asked her to leave him and walked towards his Li Qiang.
"Elder Brother."
Li Qiang was still trying to control his tears but his eyes were red.
"You are alright."
He put his hand on General Li's shoulder and then patted it.
After meeting with his brother, General Li looked at everyone.
"It is good that Elder Brother is back."
Li Fan, Li Jiang's wife stepped forward and greeted General Li with a smile.
"Second Uncle."
Li Caihong, Li Na, Li Chen, and Li Sying stepped forward and greeted him.
There was a bright smile on Li Chen's lips. His heart was filled with guilt since the day he had realized his stupidity. Now seeing his second Uncle, he felt shameful for his doings.
He couldn't even go and look for Li Rui for the past few days but he was sure that she had not left the Imperial City yet.
It was good that the second uncle was back and Jiejie didn't leave Imperial City.
After looking at everyone, General Li frowned when he didn't find the person he had been wanting to see first.
"Second Aunt is inside her room."
Li Chen answered immediately when he saw his second uncle's frown. He already knew that his second uncle was looking for his second aunt.
"What is she doing alone inside the room?"
General Li asked with knitted eyebrows.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt said that she wants to remain alone for some time."
This time it was Li Sying who answered General Li.
"Second sister-in-law really looked like she wanted to remain alone for some time so we didn't want to disturb her."
Li Fan told General Li.
"Alone?"
General Li whispered with a frown and in big strides exited the living room.
Behind him, everyone chuckled seeing his eagerness to meet Yi Jei.
Soon he was inside his courtyard. Standing outside his and Yi Jei's room, General Li knocked on it gently. He wanted to surprise his wangfei.
But a whole minute passed, the door didn't open.
He knocked again and this time thrice but no one opened the door from inside. He couldn't even hear a single sound from inside.
General Li suddenly felt his heart sinking and called his wangfei's name.
"Yi Jie."
The door remained closed.
"Yi Jei, open the door. It's me, Li Heng."
This time when General Li heard no response, he stepped back and then pushed his body towards the door breaking it in a single attempt.
"Yi J.."
He couldn't complete his words when he saw the scene inside the room.
On the bed, Yi Jie was sitting with a knife in her hands. The knife was just a small distance away from her wrist.
"Yi Jei."
General Li shouted as he ran towards her but she didn't seem to hear anything.
Swiftly, General Li took away the knife from his Wangfei's hands and threw it far away.
He then kneeled on the floor in front of Yi Jie and checked her body from up to down. When he didn't find any injuries he asked her
"Yi Jei, are you hurt anywhere?"
"Heng…"
He heard a whisper and finally looked at Yi Jei's face.
His heart clenched when he saw her pale face but instantly rage took over his heart when he remembered that she was trying to harm herself.
"What were you going to do?"
General Li asked sharply with red eyes.
What if he had been even a moment late? He would have lost her forever.
However, his anger instantly cooled down when Yi Jie touched his cheek and caressed them gently. A tear fell down from red eyes as she whispered.
"Heng, is it another dream?"
General Li released a trembling sigh and kissed her palm that was on his cheek.
"No…"
General Li whispered gently while caressing the swollenness under her eyes.
"Your Heng is back."
This seems to have allowed Yi Jei to let her tears flow out.
"Heng...Heng….Heng"
She whispered again as she stared at her husband's face.
Her tears shattered General Li's heart in pieces. He stood up and sat on the bed. Picking her up from the bed, he let her sit on his lap and embrace her tightly in his arms.
"Shhh…I'm back now. Why are you crying?"
Although he said this, his own tears flowed out as he heard her sobs. Hiding his head in her hair, he whispered sweet things and coaxed her.
"I thought that you will never come back to me. I would have killed myself if you hadn't come back"
Yi Jei whispered in between her tears.
He had also thought the same.
The moment when he had thought that he would not be able to see Yi Jei again, was the most painful moment in his life. General Li thought.
Raising Yi Jei's chin from his chest, General Li stared at her face. He gently kissed her tear-filled eyes, then her cheeks, and finally her lips.
Yi Jei responded immediately while caressing his cheek.
For her, he had made the Emperor his enemy.
For her, he didn't care for anything.
Even his own life.
Because Yi Jei, you are the reason that I'm alive.
