The funeral of a generation of holy monarchs fell into a cliff, and the news flew everywhere like wings. Of course, Xiao Jiu, who lived in Ximan, also heard the news, and at first she thought it was a situation designed by Chu Yinghan, but this Tuoba Gu had no news to bring back, and the more she waited, the more anxious she became.

When he was staring at Udosha with big eyes, Zhiyuan also ran to the house, crying so much that his eyes were red, Xiao Jiu was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Zhiyuan asked with aggrieved anger: "Mother, did you say that my father is dead?" ”

This news has been carried out secretly, even if he said it with Zhiyuan, he did not say that he would fake his death, but only told him that Chu Yinghan would reunite with everyone soon, and then live in seclusion, afraid that he was too young and wanted to go. Hurriedly helped him wipe away his tears and said, "It's nothing! ”

Zhiyuan was angry with him for the first time, opened her hands violently, and cried and roared: "You lied to me, you lied to me, my father is dead, he is dead!" He was so excited that he hid aside and began to cry.

Xiao Jiu half knelt down, picked him up, and turned back to see the nurse, the nurse had been with him for a long time, brought him up since he was a child, and ran back and forth, waiting for him to enter and exit, it would definitely not be her chewing the root of her tongue. Seeing this, the nurse hurriedly knelt down and said: "When the little prince practiced his sword today, the two family members whispered timidly behind the tree, saying that after the death of Emperor Ying, the new emperor fell off the cliff, and the prince of Tuoba rushed to look for it, and he was also taken to the palace!" ”

"What did you say?" Udosha sat up first, her hands at a loss. Xiao Jiu was also frightened, but he didn't want to scare the child, so he comforted in a deep voice: "Don't panic, he deliberately released these news to hide people's eyes and ears, so that he can get out forever, Zhiyuan, when you left, your father told you to wait patiently for him, right?" ”

Zhiyuan stopped crying and choked up and said: "Yes, he also said that if his mother comes first, he will take care of his mother!" Xiao Jiu rubbed his head with relief, hugged him again and said, "Let's believe him, take care of my sister, and when he comes, we can go home!" ”

Zhiyuan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, wiped his tears and nodded, Xiao Jiu smiled with relief, and said softly: "The little prince is endorsing, and now he should be hungry, I remember that the lotus root was cooked in the kitchen, and the nurse took him to use some!" ”

The nurse immediately understood, and also made a cheerful voice and said: "Isn't it, I was going to eat, after listening to this gossip, not to mention the little prince, even the slave maid also felt that it was difficult to say in my heart, and now this rumor is spreading too fast!" ”

Xiao Jiu also smiled and said: "It's okay, presumably this is his purpose, we will meet soon!" Zhiyuan became happy at this time, and took the nurse and ran out happily. Udosha was impatient, and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Jiu and asked, "Xiao Jiu, are you true?" ”

Xiao Jiu glanced at him lightly and shook his head. Udosha sat down in despair, her eyes dimmed, and suddenly she sat up again and said, "I'm going to him!" Xiao Jiu hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, this matter is changing, if it is really their original intention, we go out like this, isn't it adding to the chaos?" ”

Udosha became anxious: "He said to let you wait for him, you are waiting for him here, but if he is really dead and falls into the cliff, don't say that you are a fake death antidote, even the Soul Rejuvenation Pill is useless!" After roaring, I saw her pale face, felt that it was inappropriate, and said in a low voice: "Brother Tuoba won't go without sending news for so long, something must have happened!" ”

At this moment, Xiao Jiu couldn't sit still anymore, but his mind was like a mess, and he couldn't analyze it at all, he thought for a while, and hurriedly said: "You don't have an eagle to deliver a letter, let's write a letter to Imperial Doctor Ming, he knows the inside story of the matter, and he will definitely not lie, this will come and go for three days at most, let's wait a little longer." ”

Uduosha was unwilling, and muttered: "Then when we go, even if we find Emperor Ying, he is really dead!" "No, he told me to wait for him, and he will definitely come back!" Xiao Jiu seemed to start hypnotizing himself and said sharply. In her heart, she knew that it was not good, if Zeng Xiaosheng changed her mind temporarily, even if she went now, she would have no way to go back.

Seeing that her face was not good, Wu Duosha also felt that she was too selfish, and hurriedly said: "They must be auspicious, and besides, there is no one around Li You who can beat Brother Tuoba at all, who can bind him back to the palace?" After speaking, he seemed to be in a much better mood, and jumped up again and said, "I'm going to write a letter!" ”

Xiao Jiu nodded, and when she ran out, her feet were soft. I was nervous in my heart, and I just begged him not to have an accident. These three short days have passed like a torment, on the one hand, I don't want to make Zhiyuan sad and worried, and on the other hand, I am very panicked.

On the evening of the third day, there was still no reply, not even the eagle who delivered the letter came back, and the more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and the two hit it off, and they set off immediately. She was only deported, and even if she was recognized, there was not much danger.

Udosha went to prepare dry food and horses' ass, and brought a lot of silver, so that they could change horses at the post station, Zhiyuan slept soundly, Lingxi also curled up beside him, the candle flame reflected this pair of children, Xiao Jiu's heart was slightly sad, and finally sighed, and said to the nurse: "Now that the situation is like this, I have prepared in my heart, but if I don't take a look and find it, I won't be at ease." There is still hope for these children, I will definitely not be impulsive, but these days, I still bother you to take care of it! ”

The nurse wanted to laugh, but this smile, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she took Xiao Jiu with her rough hands: "I have also followed you for many years, and it is easy to look forward to a good life, but I came here to solve problems, if you want to go, you will go, but I still have the old saying, children can't do without you, you must be careful in doing things, if it is.... If he is really gone, don't hit the stone with an egg, the children need you! ”

This exhortation, like the elders in the family, Xiao Jiu felt deep warmth in his heart, and couldn't help but sour his nose, and said in a deep voice: "I know, you can rest assured, you will definitely come back well!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhiyuan, who was originally asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Mother, where are you going?" ”

The hand also hugged her arm in horror, Xiao Jiu kissed him reluctantly and said, "Mother is going to pick up your father, you take care of your sister obediently, and our family will be reunited in a few days!" Zhiyuan let go of his hand and said: "Okay, and don't forget my peach blossom crisp, my father said that he would give me only a curved bow, and let him not forget it!" ”

Xiao Jiu suddenly felt that his nose was sore, his eyes were already slightly red, and he hurriedly held back and said, "Okay!" Zhiyuan, go to sleep! The hand gently patted his back again, humming softly. Udosha didn't know what was going on in the house, and had already walked in, and Xiao Jiu hurriedly stretched out a finger and booed.

When Zhiyuan fell asleep again, Xiao Jiu took the men's clothes she handed over, and said firmly: "Let's go!" ”
