"However, there is no dry food and water here, so I'm afraid we won't last long!"
Zhaohua looked back, it was indeed so, the most important thing was that there were three children.
Grown-ups can go days without food, but they can't.
Right now, there is no other way but to wait.
However, their calculations were better, but the reality was cruel. After some time, someone found this place.
The two guards were the first to discover that the footsteps came from behind them, that is, the second son and second wife above were also dead, the tunnel mechanism was discovered, and someone chased them down.
"Let's go, let's go, all go up." Right now there are people at the exit, they can't stay in this small place anymore, they can't let go of fighting, there is only one dead end.
Zhaohua snorted softly, and the two guards also knew that the situation was urgent, so they hurried to the entrance to open the mechanism.
People have long forgotten the passage of time in the ground, and only after they came out did they realize that it was still late at night.
The two guards directly destroyed the mechanism that opened the secret passage, and they wanted to continue to find the exit and leave.
However, as soon as Zhaohua took his son over, the nanny let out a scream and fell directly into a pool of blood.
Then there was another scream.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Princess Zhaohua!"
You are the officer who surrounded them in the underground palace.
The unique tone and high-pitched voice all revealed confidence.
He hid in the dark and did not meet them, but directly ordered, "Not one left!"
I didn't see those spiritual masters this time, the ones who came up were all masters.
The two guards couldn't protect Zhaohua and the three children at all.
Just a few people who met each other were killed, leaving only Zhaohua and his son.
But the opponent stopped.
"Princess, the servant is involuntary, so you hand over the young master to me!"
The internal official waved everyone away and said this to Zhaohua alone.
Zhaohua was startled.
"You, what do you mean?"
The man took a few steps closer and whispered.
"The servant was in the empress's palace before. You may not have noticed the servant, but how dare the servant blame the princess? It's just that it's a last resort under orders. Please forgive me, princess!"
He spoke earnestly and earnestly, and Princess Zhaohua didn't know whether to believe him or not.
But right now there is no other way.
"Can you really keep him?" She looked at the young son in her arms.
There is too much reluctance, but there is nothing she can do. She wants to keep him, not just because he is her own flesh and blood.
More importantly, he is the only living member of the Li family.
It was the son of the man she was sorry for in this life.
Zhaohua wanted to keep him, always wanted to, would rather sacrifice himself, but also keep him.
"As long as the princess believes in me."
Zhaohua hugged his son tightly, took two steps back, stared at him and asked.
"What are you going to do? Are they all watching?"
Behind them, many people have surrounded the place.
"As long as the princess dies..."
He didn't continue to speak, but Zhaohua understood what he meant.
As long as he is dead, the child can easily get away with it.
What's more, as long as the internal official in front of him kills her, no one else will doubt her at all.
"The princess needs to make a decision quickly!"
Zhaohua knew they couldn't delay, in case those people found out.
She chooses to believe him.
Zhao Huali's eyes were sharp, she took two steps back, staggered a little, and shouted, "You guys will die, if you destroy my Li family today, someone will avenge us in the future!"
"Hahahaha, is the princess still daydreaming? Do you think you can get out of this world today?"
"Besides, it's been so long, but I heard there was movement in the temple. Such a big incident happened in Li's mansion. No one dared to meddle in other's affairs. I advise the princess to end it on her own. It's hard for the servants of the province to deal with it when they go back!"
"Damn, it's a bullshit thing, even if this princess dies, she will be dragged behind!"
As she spoke, she tapped directly behind her son's ear and threw him aside.
He rushed directly towards the internal officer.
After all, she also knows martial arts.
The battlefield between the two began to move away from the child.
Suddenly Zhaohua realized something was wrong, someone ran over and took her son away.
So aboveboard.
Right under everyone's noses, this is too rampant.
She looked at the internal officer sharply, her eyes were sharp, and she showed an incredible expression.
"You lied to me… "
While the two were fighting, the internal officer laughed loudly, "It seems that the princess is not as careless as the rumors say, and her reaction is quite fast!"
"What do you want him for? What do you want my son for? Where are you taking him?"
Her mind was confused, her fighting was disorderly, and her steps were chaotic.
This man didn't bother to tangle with her, so he slapped her on the shoulder, and Zhaohua fell directly far away.
"Our lord wants to win the trust of the eldest son Li, so naturally we have to repay him. The Zuoxiang mansion suffered a catastrophe. Our ancestors sent people to rescue them. Only the youngest son of the third son of the Li family was rescued. This can be regarded as leaving the last bit of blood for your Li family. I chose your son instead of the second son's son and daughter. The princess should be grateful to me!"
Zhaohua suffered internal injuries, and was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
She finally knew what these people were doing with her son.
"You shameless person, big brother won't believe you!"
She can only say such things now, but she knows that if the eldest son listens to what they say, he will definitely believe it.
At that time, the son will become the secret handle for them to blackmail the eldest son.
The eldest son didn't know the truth and would be grateful to them and become a sharp sword in their hands. When he knew it, he could only compromise, for the last blood of the Li family.
These people's tricks can't be called not poisonous, but what can she do if she knows everything? She couldn't leave here at all.
No one can save her, and no one will come to save her.
If Uncle Jiu Wang is in the imperial city, if Xiao Ting is still here, she still has hope, but right now, one of them is dead and the other is missing.
Seeing the internal officer walking towards him with a cold arrow in his hand, Zhaohua looked at the sky and smiled miserably, where Li Mingcheng appeared.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I failed your trust and failed to protect them. Will you blame me if I want to see you later?"
The corner of Zhaohua's mouth overflowed with blood from time to time, her heart was choked with grief, and she couldn't restrain herself from being hurt!
"Will you wait for me? Oh, you said us, we don't have an appointment in the next life, then where am I going...to find you?"
There was a thunder from the sky, and lightning pierced the sky, illuminating everything in the dark night as bright as day.
The cold arrow was raised high and it was about to stab Zhaohua's chest. In a blink of an eye, a long sword quickly pierced the man's chest, then pulled Zhaohua up, and disappeared into the darkness soon after reaching the roof.
The others were not far away, but before they could make a move, that person had already disappeared.
The imperial city of the empire. It had been gloomy for many days, and the oppressive cloud lingered uneasy over the imperial city.
Until tonight, the wind was strong, and the huge raindrops hit the ground like crazy, covering all the sounds.
It also washed away the darkness of the imperial city.
The next day, early in the morning, there was a quarrel in the court.
For no other reason, Zuoxiang Li's family was wiped out.
There was only one eldest son of the Li family who was kneeling in front of the hall and was in a mess.
The eldest prince has already ordered the governor to investigate the matter strictly.
The sky was washed more and more quiet by the torrential rain last night, but the ministers did not feel a long sigh of relief.
Instead, it feels more and more depressed.
When everyone knew about this, the First Prince had personally led the ministers to the Li Mansion. The scene inside was not enough to be described as a hell on earth. Although all the blood was washed away by the rain, the brand new soaked corpse was still there.
There are so many bones. Even more terrifying than when he was just killed.
The First Prince ordered the entire Li Mansion to be dug three feet into the ground, hoping to find clues, or people who survived.
However, what they finally found was the remains of Zuo Xiang and his wife!
Nothing else.
Not to mention any clues left by the murderer.
Mr. Li didn't find the bodies of his younger brother and younger siblings, and searched everywhere in the whole mansion like crazy.
Still nothing.
Some people speculated that other people were rescued, but after waiting for two full hours, no one from the Li family showed up.
The most important thing is that even Princess Zhaohua disappeared together.
She is the emperor's favorite princess, and she is married to Li Mingcheng, the third son of Zuo Xiangfu.
But no matter who the opponent is, he shouldn't kill her at the same time. If he is found out in the future, he will never die.
Everyone was guessing which party was responsible for such cruelty.
Most of the eyes of the crowd were focused on the eldest prince and the third prince.
After all, only the two of them could do such a thing right now.
Of course, they didn't dare to look at it blatantly, they still looked at it cautiously.
This court meeting was held for three hours.
After the show ended, all the people left the palace one after another, but they didn't go home directly, but gathered together in small groups.
If they had avoided it before, but now they are all blatantly getting together to discuss the next major event.
After all, Prime Minister Zuo is a neutral faction.
With his status, he would be exterminated, let alone these little people.
The most important thing is that the news of the emperor's serious illness has been spread, and it has been half a year, but there is no change.
The empress used the entire harem, even the third prince and the eldest prince didn't know about the emperor's situation. Of course, this was just a public statement, and no one knew exactly how.
They stopped the court many times and asked to see the emperor, but the empress ignored it. All the imperial doctors declared to the outside world that the emperor was seriously ill and might be infected, so no one was allowed to visit.
When it was even more serious, the first prince and the first prince also abandoned their previous suspicions and led all the ministers to kneel outside the Qianqing Palace.
That's it, no one goes in either.
As the commander of the imperial guards, Xu Wei only obeyed the orders of the emperor.
It is impossible for anyone to get in without him.
Even Old Xu Ge.
