The morning sun gradually became hot, and Gu San took Murong Yuhua's hand and walked back in the direction of the palace according to the original path. If the estimate is correct, the speed of King Zhen'an's people riding back to the palace is about the same as walking over the mountain on their side.

Gu San always walked at a fast speed on mountain roads, and after walking for a while, she felt that the footsteps of the girl next to her gradually slowed down, and she stopped a little and looked back at her, "What's wrong?" ”

Murong Yuhua shook his head, "It's okay, let's go quickly." If it's late, something happens to them, and that's not good. ”

After saying this, she bypassed Gu San and pulled the grass and trees on the side and took a big step forward. Gu San's gaze stayed on her feet, and before Murong Yuhua could move forward, she suddenly reached out and hugged her over, "Take off your shoes and show me." ”

Murong Yuhua was slightly surprised, and then struggled slightly, "I'm really fine, let's go." ”

"I said, take off your shoes and show me."

"I ......" Murong Yuhua couldn't resist her, so he could only sit on the stone next to him and take off his shoes and socks. I saw that the blisters on her little toes and soles of her feet had been broken, and her skin was slightly white, and blood had oozed from some places. Gu Sanfang fetched some water by the stream, and now it was all poured on her wounds to clean first, and then directly wrapped her feet into the lining of his clothes and dried them.

When she was drenched in water, the wound that had broken her skin still hurt when she touched the water, and the little girl didn't say a word, just frowned slightly. She had just walked and was already limping, but she never said a word of bitterness to Gu San.

Seeing that Gu San kept bowing his head to treat his wounds, Murong Yuhua always seemed to remember something and said to her, "Originally...... When you were still in the background setting of the Republic of China, your little feet were bleeding because of walking too many mountain roads, and you didn't say a word. I thought, if you can bear it, I can bear it too. ”

Gu San said, "At that time, I was already an adult, so I was injured, and at most I can walk when I recover well." But you're still a kid. ”

She looked at Murong Yuhua's tender feet and sighed softly.

When she was in the palace, no matter what, she Murong Yuhua still led the title of the third princess, where she had slept in the open like this, and she had fled all the way since last night, and she didn't even have a chance to take a breath, so she went on the road again. Murong Yuhua looked at Gu San and said a little lowly, "It's because I'm too young at this age to hold you back...... If only I had been older, I wouldn't have to take care of me everywhere. ”

"Even if you are older, I will have to take care of you."

Murong Yuhua muttered in a low voice, "It's a question of whether it can really be there in the future...... What else is there to care about 'children' and not 'children'. ”

"But who knows? Since I'm here, I'm going to live well, that's what I'm thinking. After Gu San dried Murong Yuhua's feet, he put her shoes and socks back on and let her climb on her back, "No matter what world you are in, no matter what kind of enemy you will face, no matter what, you must survive well, at least live this life." ”

"Isn't all this a dream to you? A dream that may not be a wonderful one. ”

"But a lot of people don't even have a chance to dream. If you want to dream, you must first live. Gu San said, looking back at the little girl, Murong Yuhua slowly climbed onto her shoulder, "Although you are here, you are at least alive." ”

Murong Yuhua had actually regarded himself as a small program in the virtual data world for a long time, but seeing Gu San take his wounds so seriously, it was inevitable that a warm current would flow through his heart inexplicably. Just like she once thought that she was the shadow of the real Murong Yuhua, she also felt that she would eventually disappear from everyone's memory.

But at least now, she looked at herself reflected in Gu San's eyes, and she could be sure that she was a unique existence.

She wrapped her arms around Gu San's neck and lay on top of her. There was a smell of sweat on the woman's body, the smell of gunpowder on her body, and the smell of blood left after killing someone.

Gu San picked her up, got up and walked towards the deep mountains, this scene is indeed somewhat similar to the previous world, but at that time, it was Murong Yuhua who was a man carrying her, and now, it was Gu San, who was gradually recovering himself, carrying Murong Yuhua, who had become a little girl.

They returned to the cliff above the Cold Palace near noon, and Gu San took a closer look, although there were patrols outside the Cold Palace, no one was very curious about this place.

They also looked carefully at the main hall, where there was an army garrison, and the king of Zhen'an had arrived not long after their arrival on a tall horse with a "victory item" in high spirits.

Zhao Yuan'er's hands were tied and she was encircled in his arms. She sat on her horse and watched the red palace door gradually open in front of her.

She had only seen the door open once in her life, when she had just come from the south, and sat on a palanquin and secretly lifted the curtain on one side to peek out, and the palace hall was sacred and majestic in her eyes, and she would never have imagined that the palace she worshipped would one day end up as a prison in which she was held.

At that time, she still had a dream in her heart, and she still had a different kind of admiration for the only emperor in the palace, her husband in the second half of her life. When the door of the palace was wide open, and the eunuchs began to roll call, she did not care at all that the door would be closed for her for the rest of her life.

Now the door of this palace is open for her for the second time, but the owner of the palace has changed, the former emperor died under the sword of his own queen, and this new emperor does not have the posture of an emperor, but is more like a bandit and a hooligan.

She was silenced and her freedom was completely restricted. When King Zhen'an rode into the palace gate, the soldiers waiting in the palace stood up one after another, and the weapon in his hand deliberately hit the ground to make a sound.

Zhao Yuan'er knew what she and the sisters behind her had become in their eyes - the spoils of war. Their appearance, origin, personality, and name don't matter. In the eyes of the rebels, they were just "women", women who could be rewarded as goods to the meritorious.

Although before coming, King Zhen'an and his subordinates gave an order and said a guarantee, but Zhao Yuan'er was not a yellow-haired girl who didn't know anything when she first entered the palace, she knew that he was just a weapon made for her own hand, if it weren't for this, maybe they would have suffered misfortune just now in the valley.

King Zhen'an led the soldiers and horses all the way into the palace, looking like he was particularly caring, and he didn't forget to tell his subordinates before getting off the horse, "Didn't Concubine De Niangniang live in Linyu Palace?" Then place them all in the Linyu Palace. ”

After that, he didn't forget to lift Zhao Yuan'er's chin lightly, and comforted her, "Concubine Kang, don't worry, the current dynasty is in ruins, although there are many shortcomings, but I won't treat you badly." Even your queen and I have ordered a thick burial, so you can stay in the palace with peace of mind and accompany me. ”

Zhao Yuan'er didn't speak, the cloth in her mouth had not been taken out at this time, even if King Zhen'an finished speaking, he had no intention of untying them.

King Zhen'an took one last look at her, waved his hand, and a soldier escorted their group of women to Linyu Palace.

Stepping into this palace gate again, walking between the palace walls, Zhao Yuan'er always has a sense of strangeness, there are soldiers coming and going everywhere in the palace, and the original blue-gray stone slabs can always faintly see the traces of blood. In addition to these, occasionally you can see some palace people wearing the costumes of the previous dynasty, but they all cowered and lowered their heads, not daring to say more and not dare to make a move.

On the road from the main hall to Linyu Palace, the women here should actually be more familiar than the soldiers in front of them. After a short time, they arrived in front of the palace, the soldiers stood on both sides of the main gate, watched them line up and walked through the door, and closed the door conveniently, and before Zhao Yuan'er could react, he heard the lock outside.

This is the "favor" that King Zhen'an said, but he was detained in another place.

However, many times they came all the way, many times as if they were going to be killed, but they survived after all. King Zhen'an also has a bit of a conscience, and he didn't attack the young children, many times, Zhao Yuan'er watched those soldiers holding her Ze'er or putting knives on the necks of several little princes, for fear that they would kill all the children of the former emperors with a ruthless heart.

But no, even if he came back all the way, King Zhen'an reluctantly allowed an old woman to hold the baby without having to tie her hands. I don't know if King Zhen'an is merciful or has other intentions at this moment.

Seeing that the door was closed, and there were no other soldiers guarding the palace, Zhao Yuan'er hurriedly tore off the cloth stuffed in her mouth, and ran towards Lin Jinyue, who was tied behind her, and the mother who was holding the baby in her arms. The other palace maids and grandmothers also helped each other and untied each other's hands, which was somewhat easier.

As soon as Lin Jinyue entered at that time, she hurriedly removed the restraints on her hands and hugged Ze'er into her arms, she saw Zhao Yuan'er running towards her, and hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her tightly.

"My heart is about to be lifted just now, how dare you do such a bold thing? If King Zhen'an is ruthless, I won't be able to see you now! ”

Zhao Yuan'er couldn't bear to gently caress the wound on Lin Jinyue's neck that was cut by the blade, and her eyes were red for a while: "Even if it is death, I don't feel lonely with you by my side." I'm just afraid that you and these palace maids will be humiliated, and life is better than death, and I might as well fight for this suffering. ”

"But I'm really shocked to look at you like this. Yuan'er ...... Yuan'er, what do you think we should do now? Lin Jinyue looked at the closed palace gate, and looked back at these sisters, "We can't escape, but we don't know what will happen in the future if we stay here." ”

Zhao Yuan'er looked firmly in the direction of the main hall, "At least King Zhen'an can't kill us for that gun." Gu San and Hua'er are not here, if I die, the weapon he asked for will not be able to be destroyed in this life. ”
