"Mother, you'll be fine! If you hold on for a while, Heng'er will take you and your sister away! Lian Zhiheng burst into tears, kept sobbing, and tried to lift his mother, who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, with all his strength.

"Heng'er...... You must ...... Be sure to ...... Take care of ...... Younger sister...... You know? Mrs. Lian took a faint breath, lightly shook Lian Zhiheng's hand, and her voice was intermittent, and blood continued to flow from the corners of her mouth.

"Well, Heng'er promised her mother that she would definitely ...... It will definitely ...... Take care of your sister. Lian Zhiheng knew that his mother's life was short, he only hated that his strength was not enough, and it was very difficult to help his mother, so he had no choice but to give up, kept raising his hand to wipe his tears, and nodded sensibly.

"Quick...... Run ......" Mrs. Lian shouted this sentence to the two children with difficulty, and after a short time she lowered her hands, closed her eyes heavily, and lost her breath.

Lian Zhiheng sobbed quietly and pulled up his sister next to him, and quickly ran into the deep forest.

Lian Yuyao let her brother lead her way away, but from time to time she turned her head and looked sadly at her mother who fell to the ground motionless, she cried out in grief: "Mother... Mother..."

Lian Zhiheng took a deep breath and swallowed the sourness in his throat as hard as he could, trying to cheer himself up.

At a young age, he understood that his father and mother were no longer there, and he had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting his sister, so he couldn't care about any sadness at the moment, he secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and desperately pulled his sister forward to run for her life and ran towards safety.

The two brothers and sisters ran for a while, and Lian Yuyao suddenly stopped panting, kept touching her aching knees, and whimpered at Lian Zhiheng: "Brother...... Yao'er can't run! ”

"Yao'er, hold on a little longer, as long as we run out of this mountain, we will be saved......" Even Zhiheng was too tired, he held on to the soreness in his legs, and patiently comforted his sister.

"No, no, no! Yao'er really can't run...... Can't run! Woo woo~" Lian Yuyao wiped the tears from her face indiscriminately and cried quietly.

Lian Zhiheng was about to carry his sister on his back and continue to move forward, but suddenly at the moment when he looked up, he saw a group of pursuers in the distance behind him suddenly chasing after them, getting closer and closer to them, and he understood that the two of them would definitely die if they continued to rub together.

In desperation, he had a plan, quickly pulled Lian Yuyao to hide behind a bushy and hidden bush, clasped her arms and instructed: "Yao'er, don't run around while you stay here, my brother will lure them away, and I will come back to you later." ”

After speaking, Lian Zhiheng was about to run away, but Lian Yuyao hurriedly pulled him back, shook his head and whimpered: "Woo woo ~ brother don't go!" Yao'er is scared! ”

"Yao'er, don't be afraid! Brother will come when he goes, you stay here well, don't run around, you know? Lian Zhiheng stroked her head lightly and comforted her softly.

"Then brother, you must come back early!" Lian Yuyao nodded helplessly and obediently, and her pupils kept staring at Lian Zhiheng.

"Good! Yao'er is good! Brother will be back soon! After Lian Zhiheng pacified Lian Yuyao, he pulled out his legs and accelerated to run in other directions, deliberately making some movement while running, trying his best to attract the attention of the pursuers in the rear.

When the pursuers heard the movement in the bushes, they were all attracted to the attention, looked in the direction of Lian Zhiheng's escape, and found him running away.

"It's that kid! Chase! The officers and soldiers found the target, shouted excitedly, and chased in the direction where Lian Zhiheng ran away.

Now only Lian Yuyao was left alone in the jungle, she sat on the ground, her hands tightly clasped around her knees, staring intently at the direction her brother ran away, and watched a group of bad guys chasing her brother through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

There was silence all around, the night was frighteningly dark, the cold wind whistling the branches and leaves, the shadows of the dark branches kept shaking, and the surrounding area was silent, and there was an eerie atmosphere everywhere.

Lian Yuyao felt very cold, she was shivering all over her body from the cold, she curled up into a ball, her hands tightly covered her ears, and she closed her eyes tightly to try to overcome the fear in her heart.

Tears slipped down the corners of her eyes from time to time, and she sobbed in a low voice, silently chanting in her heart: Brother, brother......

Lian Zhiheng was chased to the edge of the cliff by the officers and soldiers, looking at the abyss in front of him, he stopped in time, turned around and looked at the group of officers and soldiers who were gradually approaching him with frightened eyes.

"Boy! See where else you want to run? An officer and soldier smiled sinisterly at Lian Zhiheng, and he slowly approached Lian Zhiheng with his sword.

Lian Zhiheng was forced to have no way out, and turned his head again to look at the bottomless behind him, his heart was full of infinite fear, jumping or not jumping between his thoughts, but at this time he had no way to retreat, if he didn't jump, he would be stabbed to death, and if he jumped, he might fall to death......

Then several officers and soldiers with swords also approached him, their faces showing smug smiles, and at the same time they waved their swords at Lian Zhiheng in front of them, shouting loudly: "Suffer death!" Stinky boy! ”

At the moment when they swung their swords, Lian Zhiheng spun around and jumped into the bottomless abyss, and in an instant, disappeared from the sight of the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers were all surprised, and they approached the edge of the cliff and took a few special looks, but they did not expect that this child would really choose to jump off the cliff.

As soon as they jumped off the cliff, they would definitely die, and their hearts instantly relaxed, thinking that they could finally make a difference, and the hundreds of lives of the people in the Lianfu Mansion had been completely wiped out by them, and the grass was cut down to the roots.

After the officers and soldiers forced Lian Zhiheng off the cliff, they chose to collect their troops and return to the palace, but they were careless that they ignored that there was a young daughter in the company's mansion.

Even if they think about it later, they don't think it matters, after all, a young girl doesn't understand anything.

Lian Yuyao sat alone in the silent jungle, waiting for her brother's return, but she waited all night with fear in fear, but she still didn't see her brother.

At dawn, she felt cold and hungry, and decided to set out to find her brother, who had never returned.

She walked alone and aimlessly in the cold mountains, crying as she went, raising her hand from time to time to wipe away the tears on her dirty little face, and kept muttering: "Brother, brother, where are you?" Don't you want Yao'er? Woowoo...... Yao'er is afraid of ......"

She looked left and right, but she didn't see any figure in the mountains and forests, her heart was extremely frightened at the moment, she walked forward casually, crying loudly: "Daddy...... Daddy deceived Yao'er again...... Dad promised Yao'er that he would take Yao'er to the palace to see Brother Moyu today...... Daddy, where the hell are you now? Yao'er misses her father ......"

Her eyes were wet, tears kept pouring out, although she was still just an ignorant child, but she was vaguely aware that she no longer had a father and a brother......

Lian Yuyao staggered forward after holding on to the discomfort of her body, and when she passed through a chaotic jungle, she suddenly tripped over a branch under her feet, and her body rolled heavily under the mountain forest, and the back of her head hit a hard stone before stopping.

Then, as she fell to the ground, she gradually closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

……

After what happened last night, Wu Mu felt infinitely guilty, and felt that she could no longer live without a face, so she returned home and secretly arranged all the funerals, and then went out of the city alone to the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Beijing without telling her family, preparing for her own life.

Just as she passed by the foot of the mountain, she saw a little girl lying in a coma on the ground on the side of the road, she took a closer look curiously, and realized that this little girl was the one she had on the birthday of the Queen Mother, and she was the little girl that Lian Shangshu was holding in his arms that day.

In other words, this little girl is the orphan of Lian Shangshu.

The witch mother panicked instantly, and wanted to walk away immediately, but she didn't walk a few steps, and she couldn't understand her conscience, knowing that the situation of this little girl today was caused by her.

She turned back, crouched down beside the little girl, reached out and probed her breath, and found that she was still breathing weakly.

The witch mother hurriedly picked up the little girl and carefully examined her body, only to find that there was a large bag swollen on the back of her head, and there were some abrasions on her arms and legs, and then she saw a large stone with blood stains next to the place where the little girl was lying.

Judging from the existing phenomenon, the witch mother guessed that the little girl should have fallen from the mountain forest and hit her head on a stone and fell unconscious.

The witch mother gave up the idea of suicide, decisively picked up the little girl who was in a coma, and walked quickly in the direction of returning to the city, at this moment she decided to save the poor child, so as to make up for the guilt in her heart.

When the witch mother carried the dirty little girl into the house, her husband Jun Anxin was full of doubts, not understanding that his wife had gone out silently early in the morning, but now he quietly brought back an injured little girl.

"This ...... Whose child is this? An Xin pointed to the little girl who was put on the bed by the witch mother, and asked with a frown.

"This is Lian Shangshu's orphan, she is a poor child, Ashin, let's take her in!" The witch mother carefully checked Lian Yuyao's pulse for a while, then put on the quilt, turned to An Xin and said seriously.

"What? Lian Shangshu's orphan? When An Xin heard this, his eyes widened in shock, he hurriedly walked to the door, closed the door tightly, and then turned back to the side of the bed and pointed to Lian Yuyao, who was in a coma, and accused the witch mother: "This is ...... This...... How can you bring this kid back? Now that the Lian family has become the cusp of the court, we will be affected by it! ”

An Xin went out to open a store in the morning and heard that Lianfu was destroyed last night, and this time his wife brought back the orphans of Lianfu, which scared him to death.

The officers and soldiers of the DPRK and China exterminated all the hundreds of people in the Lien Mansion last night, and Xiao Xiangguo ordered someone to release a rumor early this morning to inform the people of the world that the Lien clan had tried to rebel and poison the emperor, and they had all been executed.

"Ashin, I have a last resort, I have to compensate for this child, let's adopt her! After all, this kid is innocent! The Witch Mother pleaded, a hint of panic in her voice.

"What if this matter is discovered by the people in the palace? Our family will be implicated, which is related to the lives of dozens of people in Anfu. ”

An Xin was originally a kind-hearted person, looking at the poor child in front of him, he also wavered in his desire to adopt her, but he also had to take into account the lives of dozens of people in Anfu.

"I'll resign tomorrow, let's leave the capital from now on!" After the witch mother was entangled, she thought of a foolproof plan.

It is no longer suitable for her to stay in the capital, after all, Empress Xiao has already set her sights on her, and she will find someone to assassinate her, so as not to leak her secrets, so she must find an excuse to leave the capital now.

"Okay then! After you resign tomorrow, let's leave as soon as possible. An Xin hesitated for a moment and nodded helplessly.

In fact, he didn't want to stay in the capital for a long time, and if it weren't for the fact that his wife still appointed female officials in the palace, he would have moved his family out of the capital a long time ago.
