Night quietly descended. Night was beautiful, but it was also sinful.
"Bastard, good-for-nothings. So many people chasing after a woman, but they can't even get her.”Huang Liao, who was wearing a yellow robe, slammed the table angrily. The table instantly shattered, and the people below did not even dare to breathe loudly.
He had to admit that Huang Liao was indeed a handsome man. He had delicate features, but he had countless plots in his heart.
Huang Liao secretly clenched his fists and said boldly,"Pass down my order. No matter where we go, we must chase her back.”
"Yes!" The people below immediately accepted the order. They all retreated."
In the quiet night, the sound of the carriage was unusually ear-piercing. Sitting in the carriage, Qing Moyan and Shaoyao leaned against each other. Qing Moyan closed her eyes slightly and took a nap. Although Shaoyao was very tired, she did not dare to close her eyes, afraid that the pursuers would catch up again.
Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps the heavens loved to play tricks on people, but even though they had left the city gate for a hundred miles, the soldiers still caught up.
The sound of horse hooves rang out, and the carriage was soon surrounded. Shaoyao's heart trembled. Qing Moyan slowly opened her eyes and asked,""Shaoyao, why is it so noisy?"
Shaoyao's heart tightened." Yan 'er, don't speak. The soldiers are catching up."”After saying that, Shaoyao quickly took out something to disguise herself from her bag.
Qing Moyan's heart skipped a beat.
"Hey! Old man, who is in your car?”A soldier's voice sounded from outside.
"Sir Guan, they are my relatives. Their mother passed away, so they rushed back to attend the funeral.”The coachman's voice sounded.
The officer in the lead looked at the coachman with some doubt, then gave a look to the people below. The people below understood and quickly dismounted to open the carriage curtain.
The leading official picked up the portrait in his hand and looked at it. He matched it with the person in the carriage and realized that it was not the person in the portrait. He rolled up the painting and said,"Let them go!" It wasn't her! Let's go and search over there." After saying that, he turned his horse around and led his men to search the area.
Qing Moyan and Shaoyao felt relieved. The coachman drove the carriage not far away, and Shaoyao said,""Driver, stop the car. We'll get off here.”
When the coachman heard Shaoyao's instructions, he stopped the carriage. Shaoyao helped Qing Moyan out of the carriage and gave the coachman some money. The coachman hurriedly thanked her. Then, he drove the carriage back.
Shaoyao held Qing Moyan's hand and said," Yan 'er, let's go. It won't be long before the soldiers catch up again." He couldn't sit in the carriage. The target was too big. He could only walk.”
Qing Moyan nodded and followed Shaoyao in the dark.
The soldier who had just finished checking the carriage seemed to have thought of something. He reined in his horse, and the others followed suit. The leader of the soldiers was shocked and said," Oh no, hurry up and chase that carriage."”
The early summer sun finally rose into the sky. Although it was not high, it was beautiful. Ye Yangxing looked at Qing Moyan and said,""Sister-in-law, did they catch up to you?”Qing Moyan's eyes flashed as if she was unwilling to recall this past. She said,""I caught up, and…"
Shaoyao held Qing Moyan's hand and ran with all her might in the dark. They ran into a forest and the night swallowed them up. However, there was a demon's voice trailing behind them.
Qing Moyan accidentally tripped while running. Shaoyao was holding onto Qing Moyan's hand, so she fell along with her.
Shaoyao quickly got up and ran to Qing Moyan's side to help her up. Princess, quickly, quickly get up, they are catching up.”
Qing Moyan struggled to get up. Her left foot hurt a little and she realized that she had sprained her ankle. Peony was anxious. Qing Moyan looked at Shaoyao and said,"Shaoyao, you should run!" Don't worry about me. They're after me. You're innocent.”
Shaoyao knew that Qing Moyan could no longer walk. She did not say anything and just helped Qing Moyan to hide in a bush. Shaoyao looked at Qing Moyan's exquisite face and said,""Princess, I'm afraid Shaoyao won't be able to take care of you in the future. You have to take good care of yourself in the future. Remember, don't make a sound later. I'll lure them away and you take the opportunity to escape, understand?”
Qing Moyan was touched." No, I don't want anyone else to die for me. Shaoyao, run!"”
" Quick, quick." The soldiers 'voices were heard. Shaoyao did not listen to Qing Moyan's words and quickly crawled out of the bushes, running quickly from a place not far from the soldiers. The leader of the soldiers was shocked. Then, he reacted and said,"Quick, chase after him."
Shaoyao ran with all her might. She did not know if there was still a road ahead. She only knew that she could only run forward. Only then could she save Qing Moyan, her sister. After running for an unknown amount of time, Shaoyao ran to a cliff. There was no longer any road ahead, and the pursuers behind were quickly catching up. For a moment, Shaoyao did not know what to do.
The footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer and closer. Just as they were about to arrive, Shaoyao steeled her heart, closed her eyes, and jumped into the cliff.
When the soldiers arrived, they only saw a black shadow jump into the cliff. The leading soldier looked at the cliff. It was so deep that he couldn't see the bottom, making people flinch. The leader of the soldiers muttered,"Jumping from such a high height will definitely kill you." "Retreat," he waved his hand. Then, the group of people left the cliff.
Qing Moyan, who was hiding in the grass beside the cliff, waited for the soldiers to leave. Who knew that Qing Moyan had been limping behind the soldiers. She was afraid that Shaoyao would be in danger, but that was the truth. Qing Moyan quickly crawled out of the bushes and came to the cliff. Her heart was filled with grief and tears flowed down her face. Qing Moyan whispered in grief," Shaoyao, Shaoyao." Qing Moyan looked down the cliff. It was so deep that she could not see the bottom. If she jumped down, she would definitely die. Qing Moyan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as she muttered,""Shaoyao, don't worry. I will definitely avenge you.”Qing Moyan took out a gilded red wooden box and opened it. There was a pill inside. Qing Moyan stared at the pill blankly and muttered to herself,""This is the Cloudflame Pill that Imperial Father gave me. Do I have to be twenty years old to eat it?”This question seemed to be asking himself, but it also seemed to be asking someone else.
Qing Moyan hesitated for a moment, then took the Cloudflame Pill and swallowed it with her eyes closed. The Cloud Flame Pill quickly melted in her body, and ten times the inner energy was transferred from her body to her meridians. Qing Moyan was in extreme pain and rolled on the ground. Her body was too small to withstand such a huge amount of inner energy, so Qing Moyan vomited blood and fainted on the ground.
The night was so dark and cold. Qing Moyan fainted at the edge of the cliff. A small black shadow flashed to her side and bent down. His sharp teeth pierced into Qing Moyan's fair skin…
The sun gradually rose from the east. Qing Moyan slowly opened her eyes. The pain from last night was gone, but there was still some pain in her neck. Qing Moyan gently touched it with her delicate hand, but who knew that her neck would hurt so badly. She instinctively retracted her hand.
Qing Moyan looked around and left the cliff with heavy steps.
The sun had already risen high up in the sky. The Qin Kingdom of that day was no longer there. In its place was the Imperial Kingdom, within the Imperial Court.
"What is it? Jumped off the cliff?" Huang Liao stood in the imperial garden and said sadly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." A man in black answered.
Huang Liao didn't say anything else. He just stared into the distance and thought of something. That was when Qing Moyan broke into the forbidden area when she was five years old. He had fallen in love with her when he saw her. So one day, he would ask Qing Yan for his hand in marriage. Who knew that not only did Qing Yan not agree, she even said that she would marry Qing Moyan to the crown prince of the ancient country and let the Qin country become a part of the ancient country. Huang Liao was brewing the idea of usurping the throne in his heart. He thought that she would definitely marry him and she would definitely not blame him. Thinking of this, Huang Liao suddenly laughed.
Qing Moyan walked for a long time. The scorching sun scorched the earth, and sweat flowed silently along her cheeks. Qing Moyan wiped the sweat off her forehead with her sleeve. Thirst and hunger forced her to stop. She felt dizzy and Qing Moyan's footsteps were light. Finally, she fell down.
" Miss, wake up, wake up." A gentle voice seemed to have traveled into Qing Moyan's ears from afar. Qing Moyan forcefully opened her eyes, and a blurry image entered her eyes. Qing Moyan said weakly,""Water…water…"
Not long after, a stream of sweet spring water flowed into Qing Moyan's mouth. Qing Moyan slowly woke up and opened her eyes. A woman with loose hair and a dirty face came into her sight. The woman helped Qing Moyan up and she slowly asked,""Where is this place? Why am I here?"
The woman smiled." You're finally awake." This is Yao He Country. You're in an abandoned temple, which is where we live. As for why you're here, it's because I saw you faint on the road when I went out to beg, so I carried you back. Oh right, why did you faint on the road? Where are you from? How should I address you?"
Qing Moyan thought about it and said," I'm from the Qin Kingdom. Because both my parents died, I was originally a servant girl in a rich family. But because I broke a valuable porcelain, they beat me up and chased me out. I didn't know what to do, so I kept walking and then fainted on the road. After that, I don't know anything. My name is Qing Moyan, you can call me Yan-er. Qing Moyan didn't want to lie to her, but she could only say that in order not to get herself killed.
The woman nodded. My name is Lin Ke, you can call me Xiaoke.”
Qing Moyan nodded and said,"Thank you for saving my life, Miss Xiaoke." I will definitely repay you in the future."
Lin Ke shook his head and said," You're welcome. We're all wanderers. Oh right, what are your plans for the future?"”
Qing Moyan was stunned." I'm going to find a rich family to be a maid." Actually, Qing Moyan had other plans. Firstly, she wanted to protect herself and secondly, she wanted to earn a living.”
"Yeah!" Lin Ke nodded. You used to do this, so it should be easy for you to do it. How about this? Wait for me to help you ask around and see if anyone wants a maid. I'll bring you to take a look.”
Qing Moyan was touched. It turned out that there were still good people in the world. Qing Moyan cried again and choked,""Thank you."
Lin Ke was caught off guard by Qing Moyan's crying and said hurriedly,""Aiya! Why are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry."
Qing Moyan finally smiled after a few days. She gently wiped her tears and nodded with a smile.
