That night I listened to my brother and fell asleep.

In the days that followed, he came to see me almost every day.

But as the days went by, I didn't like my brother as much as I did at the beginning.

Because he spoke very angrily, he always called me ugly and stupid, and made me cry several times.

But I knew in my heart that without him, I wouldn't even be able to cry.

So in fact, I still like this brother very much in my heart.

But then I didn't call him brother, I just called him Ah Ran. Who made him scold me all the time?

At first, he was angry for many days and didn't come to see me.

But in the end, he compromised, saying that I can call him whatever I like, anyway, even if I don't call him brother, he will be my brother for the rest of his life.

Hearing him say this, I was very unimpressed on the surface, but I was very happy in my heart

It's great that he's been my brother all his life!

With Ah Ran by my side, my days in the East Palace are much better!

But I've always been looking forward to being fifteen, because when I'm fifteen, I'll be free, and at least I can see whoever I want, like other princes and princesses.

What I didn't expect was that the day came much earlier than I thought, but I couldn't be happier.

It was less than two months before my eighth birthday, and I was in my morning class as usual. Suddenly, I heard a commotion outside, followed by the rumbling of artillery fire.

Before I could react to what was going on, I saw Ah Ran rushing in.

He picked me up and ran out, saying that someone had rebelled and had already attacked the root of the imperial city!

Actually, I know that there are people who want to usurp the throne, because my husband has told me about it.

It is said that a merchant named Yue Xiongqi led his troops all the way north and captured several cities in a row.

I was quite worried when I heard this, but my father came to the East Palace and told me not to worry, it would be fine.

But why did you attack the gate of the imperial city today?

I had too many questions in my head, but I still ran out with Ah Ran.

Later, Ah Ran and my mother left the palace with other relatives of the royal family and went north, and my father was naturally with us.

Along the way, everyone was full of sadness. Naturally, I was worried, but I was not as desperate as everyone else.

Because I think as long as the Yan royal family is still there, we will return to Shengjing City sooner or later!

These days may seem like hard times for others, but they are new to me.

Because now I can finally see what the outside of the palace looks like, or with Ah Ran and my mother.

Then we fled to a village.

I heard that the villagers in that village fled because of the famine last year, so there was no one in the whole village. So my father decided to stay here for two days to rest and recuperate.

In addition to the poor food in my life, there is not much change in fact, and there are still Qingdai and Bixi by my side every day.

It's dinner time again, and Qingdai and Bixi come in with food.

Ah Ran and my mother and I had dinner around the table.

As soon as my mother was about to pick up the chopsticks, she was stopped by Bixi, she was going to test the poison for us.

In fact, when we were in the palace, these things were done by the little eunuch who passed the meal, but when we escaped, many people died, and many imperial concubines and princes had no one to serve. So now it's up to Bixi and Qingdai to test the poison for us.

But in my opinion, it's usually just a formality. After all, no one is bold enough to murder the imperial concubine and the prince.

Sure enough, Bixi was safe and sound after trying the dishes.

So the mother picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of potato, and chewed it.

Seeing that my mother moved the chopsticks, Ah Ran and I also picked up the chopsticks.

But at this moment, Bixi's body suddenly crooked and fell!

Qingdai hurriedly helped her into her arms and hurriedly asked her how she was.

She was already speechless in pain, struggling with her hands on her stomach, and blood spilled from the corners of her mouth in a short time!

There's poison in that dish!

I immediately panicked and hurried to see my mother.

My mother also ate the vegetables!

I saw that my mother's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and she was holding the table with one hand and covering her abdomen with the other.

"Mother!"

"Mother!"

Ah Ran and I hurriedly supported my mother, but my mother still slipped to the ground.

"Mother! Mother, how are you? Mother! ……”

I was so scared that I didn't dare to blink my eyes, and looked straight at my mother.

The mother's face gradually turned blue, her lips moved a few times, and she didn't say a word. The two hands were tightly grasping me and Ah Ran, one left and one right.

Seeing my mother's appearance, my heart seemed to be torn apart.

Gradually, red blood oozed from the corners of her lips.

"Mother!"

I didn't know what to do but cry and call her, but Ah Ran was much quieter than me.

"Ah Ran, what should I do? What are we going to do? ”

Ah Ran hung his head, as if he hadn't heard me.

I followed his lowered gaze and saw that he was looking at his palm.

Niang was struggling to write something in the palm of his hand.

I leaned closer with my eyes wide open, and just as I tried to tell what it was, my mother's hand suddenly fell heavily.

My heart seemed to fall into the abyss.

I was stunned for a moment before I trembled and looked at my mother's face, only to see that she had closed her eyes.

"Mother!"

I pounced on my mother, but she didn't respond.

"Mother! You open your eyes and look at Xuan'er, do you see if Xuan'er is okay? Mother! ”

It was as if a piece of my heart had been stripped of me, and the pain was so painful that I almost fainted.

Ah Ran suddenly pulled me up, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and gritted his teeth.

"Xuan'er, let's kowtow to my mother."

He pulled me to his side and kowtowed to my mother three times together.

There was a commotion outside, followed by an overwhelming cry.

Suddenly, a man barged in.

When I saw him, I couldn't stop crying.

"Wood!"

Seeing the situation in the house, Wood closed his eyes in pain, and then said quickly

"Leng Yihan led the troops to this side, everyone was poisoned, and he took the two highnesses away on the orders of His Majesty!"

Father!? Daddy, shouldn't he too?

I just wanted to ask, but I heard Ah Ran say angrily

"Leng Yihan?! Isn't Leng Yihan the defender of Liaocheng? Aren't they reinforcements?! Could it be that he can't do the opposite? ”

"That's exactly what is going on.

Two highnesses, the situation is urgent, there is no delay, hurry up and leave with your humble duties! ”

After Mu finished speaking, he stepped forward and pulled me and Ah Ran and walked out.

I suddenly remembered that there was another person. "Qing Dai! Indigo! ”

"I'm here in His Highness."

Seeing the tear-stained Qingdai following behind me, I felt at ease.

looked back at my mother again, and felt a pain in my heart, but I was still forcibly taken out.

All the way outward, the more you go, the more cold you get.

I saw that the people outside were on their backs, all of them fell to the ground, groaning in pain, and many of them were already exhausted.

Who poisoned it!?

Could it be that there are fine works among us who can't get along with Leng Yi and Han inside and outside?!

Wood found two horses and sent Ah Ran to the horses first.

I watched the sight of crying out for help, and I wanted to crush my teeth!

Who is going to kill them all like this!?

As I looked around, I skipped a small figure, and my heart jumped, and my eyes returned to him.

I saw him wearing a cloth coat that could no longer be distinguished, kneeling on the ground.

Beside him lay a woman, apparently dead, and he knelt so blankly.

Suddenly I was picked up and put on horseback, and I came back to my senses.

I saw that Mu and Ah Ran were riding the same horse, and I was riding with Qing Dai.

"Let's go!"

Wood shouted, and I waved my whip in response. So the two horses galloped forward like arrows from a string.

"Wood, where is my father? Is there anything wrong with my father? ”

"Your Majesty is fine, and there are Ouchi guards to protect you, I will send the two Highnesses away first and then go back to support!"

Halfway through, he bumped into a small number of Leng Yihan's soldiers and horses, with more than ten people.

They stood in two rows in front of us, and I just felt hopeless.

Although Master taught me martial arts, I am still a child no matter how I say it, how can I fight them?

Seeing this, Wood flew in front of the horse with light skills, and actually tore a hole with his own strength, and at the same time he turned around and roared

"Let's go!"

Ah Ran and I looked at each other, and Yang spurred the horse to gallop forward.

After running for a long time, I didn't see anyone again, and the nerves that had been tense finally eased slightly.

What came to mind was the last painful appearance of my mother, and I couldn't help but tears fell again.

After running some distance, it was already dark, and we came to a city gate.

The plaque on the gate tower is long gone, and the horses under him are no longer willing to move forward.

Ah Ran jumped off the horse and picked me and Qingdai off the horse.

"Let's go into town."

His voice was hoarse, and his hair was a little messy, but there was a rare firmness in his eyes.

The situation inside the city is not much better than outside the city. The soldiers were in chaos, and the people in the city had long since fled without a trace.

The three of us walked for a long time, and found an unlocked house, and it seemed that the previous owner was a rich man.

The family must have fled for some time, and the whole house could not find anything to eat.

Fortunately, Ah Ran found the cellar and turned out a lot of dried sweet potatoes, so we filled our stomachs.

The three of them hid in an inconspicuous room, afraid of being discovered by Leng Yihan, and did not dare to light candles.

There was no charcoal basin, and the early winter night was so cold.

The three of us were curled up in the quilt, and I was most afraid of the cold, so Qingdai and Ah Ran let me lie down between them.

I hugged Ah Ran's waist and didn't dare to let go, for fear that he would also leave me like my mother.

Perhaps sensing that I was afraid, Ah Ran put one arm around me and caressed my back.

"Don't be afraid, hold on a little longer, and Daddy will send someone to save us.

When the reinforcements arrive, my father will definitely lead the army to kill back, kill the rebellious dog thieves without leaving a piece of armor, and avenge my mother! ”

Speaking of his mother, his voice choked.

"Really? Will there really be reinforcements? So when are they coming? ”

There was a glimmer of hope in my heart.

"Absolutely! You sleep, and when you wake up, reinforcements come. ”

Hearing him say this, I hurriedly closed it already.

"Then I'll sleep early, and the reinforcements will come sooner!"

"Well, Xuan'er is so good."

However, as soon as his words fell, something happened outside......
