"It's alright. Although you weren't by my side during childbirth, once the world is at peace, you can stay with the child and me every day to make it up to the three of us." Bai Qingyan said with a smile.
Xiao Rongyan moved a few steps closer to Bai Qingyan, bent over to touch his forehead to hers, and said earnestly, "Once the world is at peace, I will stay with Kid and the child every day. If I break this vow, let heaven strike me down with lightning, leaving me without a burial place!"
The smile in Bai Qingyan's eyes deepened, and she stood on tiptoe to place a kiss on the corner of Xiao Rongyan's lips. She whispered, "I'm planning to leave you, the Regent Prince of Yan, as a hostage in Dadu City. Along with the as-yet-unnanointed Prince Murong Ping... and Great General Xie Xun, all left in Zhou, to persuade the Zhou court officials to accept this gamble of national strategy which currently seems disadvantageous to us."
