Chapter 463: You Can Never Hide
Princess Anping's terrified cry, mixed with the cries of startled birds, echoed clearly in the ears of Xiao Yining, who was gradually moving away.
With tears in her eyes, she stared blankly in the direction of the carriage. The sounds of fierce fighting coming from there mercilessly hit her pounding heart.
Suddenly, she felt something was wrong, and quickly turned her head, staring straight at Xiangsizi who was holding her, and said sternly, "This is not the way to the palace at all. Where are you taking me?"
Xiang Sizi lowered his eyes and looked at her, his cold eyes flashing with surprise and admiration: "I have long felt that you are a smart little girl, but I didn't expect you to find out so quickly."
After that, he paused for a moment, adjusted his breath, and then said slowly, "The emperor has ordered that you are not allowed to return to the palace. Today, Prince Yuan will lead a large army to surround the palace, eliminate the evil concubine, and force the emperor to abdicate."
Then, he changed the subject, with a hint of sarcasm: "I received a secret letter from Tianxianzi yesterday, and I learned that you have been in the palace for only a few days, and the Prince Yuan and the Queen have already taken control of the palace and the remaining officials. It seems that you will soon become homeless."
After saying this, the man dubbed "the demon concubine" did not forget to give her a teasing smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two little kids in his arms were stunned by the shocking news, and their faces suddenly changed.
It was not until this moment that Xiao Yining suddenly understood what Wang Gungun meant when he said that one could not escape the disaster. In an instant, a chill rose from the soles of her feet, and she felt powerless and confused as if she was being toyed with by fate.
Sheng Hongtong had just come to his senses from the incident with the fake Yuan'er, and he was obediently and numbly taken away by the people in the car. Now when he heard the news, he was shocked.
He stretched out his hands in a panic, tightly grasped Xiang Sizi's sleeves, and asked anxiously, "What about my mother? Has my father ever mentioned my mother in front of you?"
Xiang Sizi glanced at him with amusement and replied slowly, "I am not familiar with the emperor, so why would he talk to me about your mother?"
Unexpectedly, the naughty child blurted out without thinking, almost instinctively, and asked back: "Aren't you the warm concubine? How could you not know?"
Acacia: ...
The man's expression froze, and his hurried steps to escape came to an abrupt halt.
Then, he placed the two little kids in his arms on the ground with an expressionless face, and said angrily: "My disguise has always been perfect. How did you little devils see through it?"
Seeing that the man was talking about something else, Sheng Hongtong became even more anxious and wanted to continue asking questions.
However, at this moment, Xiao Yining, who had been silent just now, suddenly called out loudly: "Sister San... Is Sister San here?"
The naughty kid was interrupted by the sudden shout and immediately flew into a rage. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Now the situation is urgent, why are you still calling me Sister San?"
The little kid seemed to be deaf to his roar and continued to call out "Sister San" persistently.
But her desperate calls received no response, and only caused the resting birds to fly away in panic.
Xiao Yining's tears never stopped until the very end, when she seemed to have lost all hope and broke down crying, sobbing and saying, "Sister San, please come out. Sister Qing will give you all the gold bars. Please come out quickly!"
"Lin Yining, what are you doing? Your sister San is not here." Sheng Hongtong roared at the kid like a runaway beast.
Little Yining stood there in a daze, her petite body trembling slightly, and her big, red and swollen eyes looked around helplessly.
The naughty child didn't know what the departure of the shadow guards meant, but she knew it very well. It meant that the emperor must be in a desperate situation of life and death, and those shadow guards would withdraw to protect their real master.
Thinking of this, an endless fear suddenly surged into the little girl's heart. She couldn't help but look back in the direction of the palace, with a complicated look flashing in her eyes, but the next moment, it turned into an indescribable determination.
She suddenly turned around, spread her short legs, and ran towards the carriage regardless of everything.
Sheng Hongtong was stunned by the kid's series of unexpected actions. When he came to his senses, the kid had already run some distance.
He didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly ran after him, reaching out to try to grab the corner of the kid's clothes, and shouted anxiously: "Lin Yining..."
"I'm going to go find my uncle and GunGun. Without anyone to protect them, they will die." The little kid responded crying, his tone full of panic and despair.
If it weren't for the shadow guards' backing, how could she have left so obediently? But now that the shadow guards were gone, who would come to save her fellow villagers?
If she couldn't avoid the disaster, she would just accept it. She was the one who died early, so every day she lived longer was a gain. Her fellow villager in the book was the one who lived the longest and lived the best life.
Thinking of this, the kid's steps became more vigorous.
Seeing this, the naughty kid was furious. He turned around and looked at Xiangsizi who was watching the show leisurely, and said angrily, "Why don't you stop her quickly."
Xiangsizi lazily leaned against the thick tree trunk, looking at the little kid running fast, and smiled indifferently: "I am only following the emperor's orders to make sure you don't make any mistakes. As for where you want to go, I have no right to control it."
Sheng Hongtong: ...
The naughty kid was angry and anxious, but he could do nothing about this person. He could only grit his teeth and continue to chase Xiao Yining, trying to persuade her: "Why are you so anxious? The guards my cousin hired are not useless. Your uncle and cousin will be fine."
"Hey, Lin Yining, I have to hurry to rescue my mother. I don't have time to fool around with you. Don't run away..."
As the two little kids hurriedly ran back, their destination had already turned into a hell on earth.
There were corpses lying all over the ground, and the blood had dyed the originally yellow road into a shocking dark red.
The gorgeous carriage parked among the corpses was even more horrific. Its body was covered with dense knife marks and sword holes, and the originally exquisite and gorgeous curtains were now splattered with bloodstains.
The two little ones who were originally staying inside, led by Xiao Shunzi, were running wildly in the dense forest, trying to shake off the black-clad man chasing them.
Pei Yi's handsome face was covered with numerous shocking bloodstains. His originally neat clothes were now in tatters, torn beyond recognition by branches and thorns.
As he ran rapidly, bright red blood continued to seep out of the wound, dripping onto the ground drop by drop, forming an intermittent blood trail.
And on his chest, there was a small figure tied tightly - Wang Gungun, who was wearing loose clothes.
The little kid he was protecting was only pale from fright, and had no other substantial injuries.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Shunzi's rapid steps suddenly stopped. He quickly stretched out his arm to stop his younger brother, then his face turned cold and he stared ahead with bated breath.
The next moment, the shade of the trees suddenly swayed slightly, and then countless black shadows emerged from the dense forest like ghosts, completely blocking their way in the blink of an eye.
Sheng Jingzhan walked out slowly from behind the tree. He took a closer look at the well-protected "Second Prince" and praised him generously, "No wonder Pei Dafu chose you. You are really loyal."
