The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1444

Chapter 1444: 706 The Truth of That Year (Two Updates)_2

Master Jing’s breath hitched.

His eyes widened, and for a moment, he felt as if no tragedy had occurred, that once the doors opened, the people inside would come out smiling.

However, his older brother-in-law did not do so; he approached the two horses and stopped them from being separated.

Master Jing was jolted from his reverie.

It wasn’t his older brother-in-law.

No, it wasn’t.

His older brother-in-law had died, and he had personally taken care of his body.

It was he who had brought his older brother-in-law down from the city walls, his hands trembling as he removed the Red-Tasseled Spear that had pierced his body.

Master Jing turned his head away, not wanting his older brother to see the redness in his eyes.

The Duke did not cry.

His tears had dried up.

After the fall of the Xuanyuan Family, after the painful loss of his wife, who had been pregnant with their first child, after Yinyin had closed her eyes forever in his arms, he had no more tears to shed.

Master Jing raised his hand and carelessly wiped his eyes, suppressing the choke in his throat, he said with usual tone, "It’s Xiao Liulang, that kid."

The Duke had seen him, of course.

His gaze fell upon Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao held the Red-Tasseled Spear in one hand, and with the other, she reached up and touched the Black Wind’s head, her calm eyes watching it.

The Black Wind gradually calmed down.

Perhaps it had finally realized that the master it had waited for its whole life was never coming back; it raised its head, looking towards the sunless sky, and let out a piercing wail.

Gu Jiao quietly stayed with it.

Gu Jiao seldom empathized with people or the outside world.

But at that moment, she lowered her eyes, raised her hand, and covered her heart.
