Shaoyao pulled Qing Moyan's hand, her eyes filled with tears as she sobbed,""Emperor, let's go! You'll only let those evildoers succeed.”
Qing Moyan's eyes were filled with tears as she shook her head in pain." No, I'm not leaving."”
Yao Yanyu's face was filled with tears. She steeled her heart and pulled out the imperial sword hanging on the sword platform and put it on her neck. She shouted at the top of her lungs,""Yan-er, are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, mother will commit suicide in front of you."
Qing Moyan shook her head weakly. Tears flowed down her cheeks like water." Mother."”
Noises could be heard from nearby. Yao Yanyu knew that she could not delay any longer. He steeled his heart and slowly forced the sword into his neck. Traces of blood flowed on the sword. "Run!" Yao Yanyu shouted. Hurry up!"
Shaoyao tugged at Qing Moyan and said anxiously,""Emperor, let's go!"
Shaoyao forcefully took Qing Moyan away. Yao Yanyu looked at Qing Moyan's back as she left, and a stream of tears rolled down her cheeks. Yao Yanyu said sadly in her heart,"Yan 'er, you must live well in the future."”
The treasured sword slipped from Yao Yanyu's hand. Yao Yanyu turned around and walked to Qing Yan, who was still feeling a little warm. She held Qing Yan's hand tightly and said gently and contentedly,""Emperor, ChenQie has come to accompany you. Wait for me, wait for ChenQie to come find you.”Yao Yanyu smiled in satisfaction. She slowly stood up and picked up the sword. She walked to Emperor Yan's side and pressed the sword against her neck. She slowly closed her beautiful eyes.
Clang! It was the sound of a sword falling to the ground. Following that, Yao Yanyu fell to the ground with a soft groan.
"Quick, charge in and capture them alive!”Huang Liao laughed sinisterly and thought, Hmph! Qing Yan, your kingdom is finally mine. And your beloved consort and daughter, I will let them enjoy my lap, haha!”Huang Liao laughed. When Huang Liao barged in, he only saw two corpses. Huang Liao looked at Qing Yan who was lying on the bed and Yao Yanyu's corpse lying beside the bed. One of them ran away. Quick, go after Qing Moyan and catch her.”
His subordinate immediately replied,"Yes!"”They all chased after him.
The morning breeze blew over slowly, and the sun was slightly exposed. Ye Yang Xing felt pain for Qing Moyan and said,""Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to have experienced so much. Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.”
Qing Moyan retracted her sorrowful gaze and smiled gently,"" It's okay, Xing 'er. If you don't experience it, you won't grow up."And that's already in the past.”
Ye Yang Xing nodded and asked,""Then, sister-in-law, what happened next?”
Qing Moyan continued to recall,"Shaoyao brought me out of the palace, but the pursuers followed closely behind."”
Shaoyao held Qing Moyan's hand and ran. She would turn back from time to time and said anxiously,""Emperor, quickly run, the pursuers are coming soon.”
Qing Moyan, who was following Shaoyao, could not take it. How could a princess of a country with golden branches and jade leaves run continuously? Qing Moyan panted and suddenly stopped,""Shaoyao, I really can't run anymore.”
Shaoyao turned around. The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer. Shaoyao was anxious and looked around, hoping to find a place to hide.
Shaoyao gritted her teeth and held Qing Moyan's hand." Princess, hang in there a little longer. Follow me."”
Qing Moyan also knew that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, so she gritted her teeth and ran behind Shaoyao.
Shaoyao brought Qing Moyan to an abandoned storeroom. There were many sundries inside. Shaoyao saw a large vat in the corner. Shaoyao opened the lid of the vat and turned to Qing Moyan."Emperor, quickly, hide inside. No matter what happens outside, don't come out, understand?”
Qing Moyan nodded." Yes!" She turned around and was about to enter the vat when she suddenly turned around and said worriedly,"Shaoyao, what about you?"
Shaoyao was stunned. She was touched. She recalled the past when her parents had died and she was living on the streets. If it wasn't for Empress Yao Yanyu, she might have died long ago. When Qing Moyan was born, Yao Yanyu sent her to take care of the little princess. She did her best. Although the little princess was a little mischievous, she was very good to the palace maids and eunuchs. Shaoyao came back to her senses. Now was not the time to be touched. Shaoyao smiled and said,"Princess, don't worry! Shaoyao would be fine. Quickly hide inside! This time, she did not call her emperor, but princess.”
Qing Moyan nodded her head in relief. She turned around and hid in the vat. Shaoyao quickly covered the lid and moved some junk over to cover the vat. Shaoyao approached the vat and said,"Princess, remember, you must not make a sound."”
Qing Moyan replied," Yes!"
In the vat, Qing Moyan's heart was beating wildly. Everything was so quiet. After hearing Shaoyao's footsteps, Qing Moyan was left alone. She could only hear her own heartbeat.
" Quick, chase after them. At this time…" It was already late at night. It should be around midnight when the soldiers caught up. In other words, Qing Moyan had just hidden herself when the soldiers arrived.
The group of soldiers stopped. One of the leaders said,""Strange, I clearly saw them escape from here. Why did it disappear in a while?"
The leader looked around and said," Split into four teams. One team will search the west, one team will search the east, and one team will search the south. The rest of you, follow me."”
The other officers and soldiers replied,"Yes!" They immediately headed in different directions.
The leader led the rest to the north.
Hiding in the vat, Qing Moyan listened quietly to the commotion on the street. Footsteps approached from afar.
"Quick, quick, quick. Check all the houses here and see if there are any?”someone outside said.
"Yes, sir!" A group of people responded. Qing Moyan gritted her teeth, trying hard not to be afraid.
Bang! The door was suddenly kicked open, and a soldier walked in. He looked around the room, and his gaze stopped at a corner for a while before he walked straight to the corner.
Qing Moyan, who was hiding in the tank in the corner, felt her heart beating faster and faster. The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and her heart was beating faster and faster. Sweat rolled down her cheeks. Suddenly, a clap of thunder came from outside, followed by a second and a third. Qing Moyan's heart trembled because the footsteps had already arrived beside the vat. Qing Moyan covered her mouth with her delicate hands. Tears kept flowing down and she tried her best not to cry.
The soldiers removed the junk piled up on the cylinder head and slowly opened it. Qing Moyan slowly closed her eyes. She knew that she really could not escape this time. She was already in despair. Father, mother, your son has come to accompany you.
Just as the lid was about to be lifted halfway, it was suddenly closed again. With the sound of footsteps, it was getting further and further away. Qing Moyan opened her eyes and heaved a sigh of relief."Let's go." Then, Qing Moyan closed her eyes and fell asleep. Perhaps she was really tired. A ten-year-old child had endured so much overnight. No matter how strong she was, she would be tired! After all, she was just a child.
After an unknown period of time, a rooster crowed and woke Qing Moyan up. Qing Moyan slowly opened her eyes and saw the dilapidated facilities. When she took a closer look, she realized that she was already in an abandoned temple. Qing Moyan sat up slowly, a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes. At this moment, Shaoyao came in with a broken bowl of water. Seeing that Qing Moyan had woken up, Shaoyao's eyes flashed with joy. She quickly handed the water to Qing Moyan and said," Princess, you're awake."
Qing Moyan took the water and her face stiffened. She recalled what happened last night and said,""Thank you."
Shaoyao was stunned. She was caught off guard by Qing Moyan's " thank you ". She was only a palace maid, but she was the princess of a country. How could she thank her? For a moment, Shaoyao did not know how to answer.
Qing Moyan knew what Shaoyao was thinking about. Her thin lips parted slightly." Shaoyao, there will be no more princesses from now on. Only Qing Moyan. I'm younger than you. From now on, you're my sister, okay?"”
Shaoyao was excited when she heard Qing Moyan's words. She did not know what to say, but she was very excited. She grabbed Qing Moyan's hand and said,""Don't worry! Princess, I will definitely take good care of you.”
Qing Moyan's face turned cold." Didn't I tell you? Don't call me princess, call me Yan-er.”
Shaoyao was stunned for a moment before she nodded clumsily.”
Shaoyao saw that Qing Moyan had finished drinking the water and said," Before the 'princess' could call him that, she knew that she had almost called him wrongly again. Then, she quickly changed her words and said,"Yan 'er, we can't stay here any longer. I'll get a carriage later and find a secluded small mountain village to stay in.”
Qing Moyan nodded and said,""One day, I will make Huang Liao pay with blood.”
Shaoyao also nodded firmly and said,""Yan-er, I believe that you have the ability. Alright, you stay here. I'll get a carriage. Remember, don't come out.”Qing Moyan nodded. Only then did Shaoyao leave with a peace of mind.
After a while, Shaoyao brought over a carriage and a few men's clothes. Shaoyao asked the man to pass the clothes to Qing Moyan and said,""Yan-er, if you wear this, they won't recognize you.
”
Qing Moyan nodded and went in to change her clothes.
Qing Moyan and Shaoyao sat in the carriage and arrived at the city gate. Without exception, every carriage and every person who left the city gate had to be inspected.
Stop, stop, stop. Qing Moyan heard the voices of the soldiers in the carriage and the carriage stopped immediately. She was nervous. Shaoyao held Qing Moyan's hand and said," Don't worry! Yan-er, no one can recognize us now.
Qing Moyan composed herself. The sounds of conversation could be heard outside.
"What do you do?" It was the voice of an officer.
" Sir, I'm sending my two relatives out. Can you make an exception?" After saying that, the groom secretly stuffed a bag of silver into the soldier's hands. The soldier greedily shook the bag in his hands and put it away in satisfaction. Then, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw a man and a woman sitting inside. The soldier was shocked by the punctual timing. This was a human! Half of the woman's face had a green birthmark, while the man had a medium-sized tumor on his nose. The officer immediately lowered the curtain and said,"Let's go, let's go."
"Yes!" The coachman nodded and bowed. Yes! Yes!" She drove the carriage out of the door, and Qing Moyan and Shaoyao heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
Qing Moyan furrowed her brows and felt that her nose was very uncomfortable. She said,""Shaoyao, what did you put on my nose? It's so uncomfortable."
Shaoyao turned her head. Qing Moyan screamed and was almost scared to death. At this moment, Shaoyao's face was half green and half white. Shaoyao smiled and said," Yan 'er, don't be afraid. This is just a trick to deceive the soldiers." Shaoyao tore off the green mask from her face and removed the tumor-like thing from Qing Moyan's nose before putting it into her bag.
"Shaoyao, where should we go?" Qing Moyan muttered.”
Shaoyao lifted the curtains on the car window and said with a deep gaze,"Find a place where no one knows us! But I don't know where that place is.”
The two of them were speechless for a long time. The sun slowly set, and a carriage rushed towards the place where the sun set.
