The siblings were swept away by the rushing river, and the little girl was washed ashore by the river. The little girl fainted on the shore, and by this time the rain had stopped, and the sun was shining through the clouds and onto the earth as if to dispel the gloom of the world. At this time, I happened to meet a fisherwoman who came to the river to fish, rescued the little girl, and took the little girl back to a small hut not far from her.

After the sister and brother fell into the river, the adjutant took people back to the general's palace to wait for the general's order, and the general was still in the palace to meet the emperor.

In the imperial palace, General Lu half-knelt and presented the box containing the heads of the seven princes to the emperor. The emperor did not say a word, nor did he call someone to take the box, and the eunuchs around the emperor did not dare to make any moves. Because what was in that box was not an ordinary thing, but the emperor's half-brother, the Seventh Prince.

The Emperor looked at the box, his eyes were misty, his expression was obscure, and everyone could not see what was going on in his heart. Since ancient times, the unpredictable heart of emperors has been this truth. The emperor's expression was painful and relieved, and he looked at the box in a daze. It wasn't until Li Desheng, the big eunuch next to him, gently called him: "Your Majesty ......" that the emperor came back from his drifting thoughts, let Gonggong Li take the box, and let General Lu retreat.

After General Lu left the Zichen Palace, the emperor asked the eunuch to take a few pots of wine and let the palace people retreat. At this time, the heavy rain was majestic, the dark clouds pressed the sky gloomy, and the candle flame in the Zichen Hall was a little shaky. The emperor took out the head of the Seventh Princes from the box, held the head of the Seventh Prince, and said softly, "Brother Ji...... Are you resentful...... Why do you look at me like this? Then he put the head of the Seventh Lord on one side, filled the wine glass alone, and then took the wine glass and drank it all, and then said in a furious and mocking voice, "But...... You're going to rob me of power! I don't want to...... I only have one brother, you! If you don't want to die, you're the one who is holding my head and talking today! Hahaha......" After saying that, the emperor threw the wine glass to the ground fiercely, making a crisp sound.

Li Desheng heard the noise in the house, and hurriedly went in to serve, and as soon as he walked next to the depressed emperor, he was kicked away by the emperor, "Get out!" Li Desheng didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only hunch his back and retreat outside the palace.

After two hours, there was no sound in the room, no scolding or laughing. Li Desheng called softly at the door: "Your Majesty ......" There was no response in the room, not even a single rolling word. Li Desheng pushed open the door of the palace in fear, and saw the emperor drunk on the floor and the head of the seventh prince rolling aside. Li Desheng nervously picked up the head of the Seventh Prince, felt fear in his heart, and had goosebumps on his body, and he didn't dare to look at the head of the Seventh Prince. Because the Seventh Prince did not blink his eyes when he died, the eyes of his head were always open. Li Desheng put the head of the seventh prince into the box, and called the two little fathers-in-law to come in and move the emperor to the bed.

By this time it was already late at night.

And General Lu returned to the general's mansion, listening to the adjutant's return, and his index and middle fingers tapped rhythmically on the table. When he heard that the Seventh Princess was dead, but the two children had run away, he slammed the table hard, and the table cracked a few cracks.

"What do you eat? Can't even catch two little kids? General Lu's tone was filled with anger.

Cold sweat broke out on the back of the adjutant's forehead: "But the general...... They fell into the river, and the current was so fast that they couldn't survive. The adjutant seemed to be trying to defend himself, as if he was responding to General Lu's anger.

After General Lu was silent for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death." When he finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves away. After hearing this, the adjutant replied and withdrew.

It had been five days since the little girl woke up, and she had been soaking in the river for a day or two because of the heavy rain, and she had a high fever when she was rescued. Under the careful care of the fisherman's daughter, she was able to get rid of her fever. Now that the fever has subsided, I have woken up because my stomach is empty. When the little girl awoke, she found herself in a thatched hut, dressed in a coarse linen garment, and her head was dizzy and she had no strength because she had not eaten for a long time. Then she heard what seemed to be someone coming from outside the house, and she looked at the door vigilantly and shouted, "Who is it?!" ”

The door was pushed open, and a clever girl with a basket on her back walked in, and was pleasantly surprised: "Are you awake?"

The girl still looked at the girl vigilantly and said, "Who are you?" ”

The girl also didn't care about her attitude: "I saved you." The other day you passed out on the edge of the river, and you were still with a fever when I got you up. The girl's spiritual eyes looked at the girl, and it was very cute.

After the girl learned that the other party was her savior, she gradually relaxed her vigilance. At this time, the girl's stomach growled, and she was relieved of the awkward atmosphere.

"Are you hungry? I'm going to give you hot fish soup, the fish I just caught this morning. The girl was like an elf, with clear eyes and a smile.

"En......" The girl's embarrassed and shy face was slightly crimson, adding a little color to her pale face after the high fever, and then suddenly thought of something and instantly turned pale: "That...... Girl, have you seen my brother? ”

The girl at the door was holding a stick and lighting a fire, and the smell of fish wafted from the simple pot, and when she heard the question of the girl in the house, she seemed to lower her head and ponder for a while, then shook her head and said, "No." When I was on the beach, I saw you lying there alone unconscious. ”

The girl did not hear the girl's reply, but hurriedly put down the stick in her hand and went into the back room to see how the girl was doing. I saw the girl leaning against the simple wall, biting her lower lip tightly, and because of excessive force, she bit the skin of her lips, oozing a little bit of blood. And she was strong and didn't want tears to flow out of her eyes. The girl was surprised and quickly took the girl's hand and took the girl into her arms. The girl didn't say anything, just fell into the girl's arms and cried. Maybe the tears were gone, or maybe the girl had accepted the fact that her brother might die, and she stopped crying.

The girl was afraid that the girl would not be able to think about it when she went to the hot soup by herself, but when she looked into the girl's eyes, the firmness and strength in the girl's eyes put her mind at ease, so she left the girl alone in the house to go to the hot fish soup. When the girl brought the fish soup into the house, neither of them made a sound. When the girl wanted to feed the soup to the girl, the girl said that she could drink it herself. The girl didn't argue with her much, and after giving her the soup, she pounded the herbs beside her.

When the girl drank all the soup, she looked at the girl and said to her gratefully and warmly, "Thank you, and besides, this soup is delicious." ”

The girl smiled slightly and said, "If you like it, it's fine." ”

The girl looked around and saw that there was only enough room for one or two people, so she looked at the girl's clear eyes and asked, "What is the girl's name?" What about the family? ”

The girl paused slightly, then said with a wry smile: "My name is Xiaoyu, and my father picked me up." I used to fish with my father, but then my father went to the mountains to cut wood, fell down the pit and broke his leg and had no money for medical treatment, so he died. ”

When the girl heard Xiaoyu's words, she was also stunned, and a look of sympathy appeared in her eyes, "My name is Ji Yueqin, and I ...... It's just like you. Ji Yueqin wanted to speak and stopped, but she still had reservations about Xiaoyu, and she didn't say all the words, "Xiaoyu, you will go with me in the future, firstly, to repay you for saving my life, secondly, we have lost our parents in this world, and thirdly, what about it...... I like you a lot. Ji Yueqin thought about it for a while, then thought about it and said.

Xiaoyu originally lived alone, and when he heard Ji Yueqin say this, he also felt dependent on each other, so he nodded.

Ji Yueqin touched her body and found that there was nothing, so she asked Xiao Yu, "Sister Xiao Yu, have you seen a jade pendant on me?" I can...... Call you sister? After speaking, Ji Yueqin looked at Xiaoyu's eyes with some expectation in her eyes.

As soon as Xiaoyu heard Ji Yueqin call her sister, there was a warm current flowing through her heart, she had been lonely in the world for so many years, and it was the first time that someone treated her so warmly. Xiaoyu took out the jade pendant that her mother gave to Ji Yueqin before leaving, as well as a mutton fat jade butterfly pendant hairpin that was inserted on her head before.

Ji Yueqin held the jade pendant handed to her by Xiaoyu, carefully touched the southern character engraved on the jade pendant, raised her head suddenly, looked at Xiaoyu's clear eyes and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, let's leave here tomorrow, we are leaving." ”
