Chapter 7: The Abyss (7)

At that time, he didn't know that the piece of jade would be with him for the rest of his life and become his most important thing.

But that piece of jade did become his only lifeline in the bitter cold.

"Come on, put this in his heart." With the girl's soft words, the mother shoved something very warm into his arms.

That thing was so warm, but the warmth didn't burn him, like a soup woman who was stuffed into his bed by a nurse in winter.

It's even more comfortable than the soup woman, so warm that people don't want to let go of it for the rest of their lives.

"Your Highness, ...... you" The mother looked at the girl holding the bleeding wrist in one hand, and the girl who was still bleeding just looked at him disapprecklessly and laughed.

"It looks very comfortable, thanks to Lisi, I have carefully adjusted it, and it doesn't seem to burn him."

Perhaps it was this initial impression that he never felt her blood burned.

It was an extremely warm memory that existed at the beginning of his life.

According to what she said later, the reason why her blood didn't burn him at that time, let alone burn in his arms, was because of that piece of jade.

This piece of jade is the mother's heirloom, and its name is called Lisi.

Since it is the heirloom of the family surnamed Jia in the previous dynasty, it means that it is not just a piece of jade.

And this piece of Lisi, as a magic weapon that can almost be as famous as the Flower Protector Bell, although it can't be compared to the Flower Protector Bell in terms of strength, it can contain her blood from burning.

As for why the heirloom of the family was passed on to the mother, the concubine, it seems to be an unsolved mystery among the family.

However, compared to the queen who gave the flower bell to the five-year-old girl, no one has investigated the whereabouts of Li Sijue after that.

At that time, it was this piece of jade that was covered in his heart, and it saved his life during the period of the cold prison.

After soaking Yu Jue with her own blood, the girl stood up.

"I have to go."

"Dian......" She may not have felt it when she was there, but when the girl said this, even he felt the fear in his mother's heart.

"I can't stay here anymore." The girl said with some embarrassment, "If you stay here any longer, even if it's me, I'll be discovered." ”

It was long before he realized what a terrible feat the girl had been.

Someone infiltrated the most heavily guarded prison in the Great Zhou by himself......

"I understand......," said the mother dryly, "take care." ”

"You too, ma'am." The girl whispered, "I guess someone will pick you up in the morning." ”

"Who's going to pick me up?" He heard his mother chuckle, "Where to take me?" ”

The young woman laughed at herself, "Where else can I go?" ”

She has nowhere to go, her husband and son have died, and her maiden family, I'm afraid it's too late to get rid of her, the young princess Qi smiled bitterly, at this moment, she is estimated to have been removed from the family tree.

"There are so many places for people like you to go." Looking at the woman in front of her, the girl spoke seriously.

Princess Qi's eyes also became serious.

"For example?"

"For example, I think it's good for you to enter the palace to compete for favor." The girl said solemnly.

His scalp exploded, even if he was only six years old, he knew what the so-called entering the palace meant, how could this ......

However, his mother's reaction was beyond his expectations.

In the face of such a topic that should be serious, the attitudes of the two women are very strange.

"Competing for favor?" When my mother heard this outrageous proposal, she just laughed out loud, as if she had heard something very interesting, and then said something that made his scalp blow even more.

"I entered the palace to compete for favor?" The young woman laughed softly and spoke playfully.

"Is it to enter the palace to compete with your mother for favor, or to compete for your mother's favor?"

How does that sound......

"In front of the child, can you not say such a scary thing."

He heard the girl on the other side speak helplessly, speaking his heart.

But he found that the girl was always able to dispel the fear and gloom in her mother's heart in a few words.

It's like banishing the biting cold.

And the next moment, when her mother had laughed enough, the girl spoke again.

Her gaze once again fell meaningfully on Princess Qi's abdomen.

"Listen to me, if it's for the sake of you and your children, don't resist."

The smile on the corner of the mother's mouth faded, and her eyes were slightly condensed.

What did this fourteen-year-old girl know? The acuity and insight into the human heart was terrible, and he heard his mother take a deep breath in pain, but before she could speak, the girl spoke again.

"I promised you what I promised, and I will do my best."

Some people's best efforts are really scary.

Some people's words will really be heavier than Mount Tai.

Later, I remembered that maybe my mother understood the weight of her words at that time, so she stopped speaking.

In the face of such a woman, sometimes I really don't know what to say.

And when he really understood what she meant by doing her best, he was already in the midst of a mountain of swords and fire.

……

……

The girl left.

And just as she had predicted, in the early morning, the word to take her mother out also arrived.

"Come out, Li girl, the nobles in the palace want to see you."

Although he could see the silhouette of the figure, he could not see who it was.

All he could remember was that someone called his mother "Li's daughter." ”

And no longer Gao's wife.

His mother's hand trembled violently.

"Whose ...... is it?"

"There are some things you can't ask, you should know." Someone answered.

As if seeing the pain on his mother's face, the man slowed his tone.

"You have to leave, if you don't leave, even the one in the palace won't be able to keep you."

"It's for everyone's good."

"Don't embarrass them anymore."

Who are they?

He just listened in a daze, and the next moment, he felt his mother stop trembling.

And then, the mother's hand.

Left him.

For a six-year-old, it was the biggest fear in the world, and he struggled, but the next moment, he felt a burning liquid hit his face.

It was a mother's tears.

"Live."

Then he heard his mother leaning over and whispering in his ear.

"Trust her."

Who to believe?

However, before he could say this, the cell door opened and his mother was pulled out.

That sentence believed her. It became the last word that his mother had ever said to him.

In the infinite fear, darkness and cold, he was the only one left.

He was six years old that year, and after losing his father, he lost his mother.

Tiny toddlers huddle in the corners of their cells.

He didn't know how he spent the remaining two days.

Only the piece of jade in his heart provided him with warmth.

Sustained him through those days in hell.

And on the third day, the door of his cell was opened again.

The day of execution has come.
