After the eldest princess was reborn, she was forced to bind the power system

Xia Chengyun led people to walk on the street, and every household was still immersed in the joy of returning home, while some families who had completely lost cried out in grief, which was unbearable to hear.

Even he felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and even felt apologetic in his heart.

"Fu Ling, are the people in this world as miserable as the people in Qingshan County?"

Xia Chengyun originally thought that everyone's life should be similar to theirs, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than the slaves in the palace. Even the tenants of Huangzhuang later lived a decent life, at least they ate every meal. Serving meals, and occasionally meat.

But after leaving Shangjing and rushing all the way here, what he saw and heard was completely different, especially when he arrived in Qingshan County, which completely overturned his cognition.

Because the life of the people here is really too hard, if the elder sister hadn't accepted the pleading papers of the two old people, he couldn't even imagine the ending of these people.

Fu Ling didn't expect that Xia Chengyun would suddenly ask him such a question, so she shook her head slightly.

"Actually, the slaves don't know too well, but I guess it will always be better."

"The slave girl was sold to the palace by her family when she was a child. Fortunately, she was selected by the empress to serve Her Royal Highness. In fact, most of the outside things have been forgotten."

In fact, she is similar to Master Xia, she has almost forgotten what her parents look like, and whenever she wants to hit her parents, Her Majesty and Empress Dowager come to mind, because in her heart, the Empress and Your Majesty are the best in the world. His parents, although not hers.

Xia Chengyun asked her again, "Then why were you sold into the palace? Are you the same as these people?"

"It's still different." Fu Ling shook her head, tilting her head and tried hard to recall, "His Royal Highness, the slaves actually only remember a little bit, as if it never rained in the sky at that time, the family really couldn't open the pot, and there were younger brothers and sisters. In order to keep us alive, our parents sold slaves and a younger brother."

Speaking of which, she couldn't help thinking.

"I don't know how my younger brother is doing now, whether he has met a good master like a slave."

Fu Ling closed her eyes, a little sad.

She doesn't hate her parents, because at that time she sold her so that she could live.

Xia Chengyun hesitated for a moment, reached out and patted her arm, "Don't worry, you will be able to live well, if you are really worried, Gu and Sister can send someone to find your brother back, when the time comes Shangjing will give you a house to raise him."

In Xia Chengyun's view, this is really not a big deal.

However, Fu Ling shook her head, "His Royal Highness, there is no need to worry about the servants, my brother has his own life, and the servants just think about it."

"And brother is a boy, even if the boy is sold, his life will not be worse than that of a slave."

She had heard from Ren Yazi that she was going to sell her younger brother to a family without children to be his son, so she thought it should be doing well.

Hearing what she said, Xia Chengyun didn't say anything more.

It was not easy for him to come out, and his experience during this period was even more than what he had seen in the palace before.

He felt that he might have somewhat understood what Elder Sister said before, why she was angry before, because he was the prince, so Elder Sister hoped that he could understand what the world is, what is the suffering of the people, and what is responsibility.

"Fu Ling, was Gu really unworthy to be the crown prince before?"

Fu Ling didn't dare to speak, and none of the Jin Yiwei behind him dared to answer.

Who dares to accept this, whoever accepts will not die.

Even if they really think so in their hearts, it's one thing to think, but it's another thing to say that they don't want to die!

On the other side at this time, Xia Ji brought Xia Hanyu to a mountain.

"Looking down from here, the entire Qingshan County can be seen at a glance."

Xia Ji stood beside Xia Hanyu, still holding her hand tightly. He really liked the feeling of holding her soft little hand in his palm, which made him feel as if he owned the world.

His Highness's hand is so small, it seems that it can be crushed with a little force, so every time he holds her, he has to be very careful, lest he use too much strength.

"Is this the place you used to come to when you were a child?"

Xia Hanyu couldn't help guessing, otherwise how could outsiders find such a secret place.

"Yeah." Xia Ji nodded, as if lost in memory, "Whenever I was unhappy, I would come here to vent, as if I could feel better just by standing here."

"I also came here when I knew I would be betrayed, but at that time I always wondered why it was me who was betrayed, why was it me instead of my brother? I always couldn't figure it out."

Xia Hanyu suddenly turned around and hugged him, leaning her head on his chest, "What about now, have you figured it out?"

"Well, figured it out."

Xia Ji couldn't help tightening his palms, hesitantly embraced her, and held her tightly in his arms.

The roots of his ears were red, and his neck gradually turned red from bottom to top, but his face was never red from the beginning to the end.

In the past, Xia Ji never thought that he would come back here again, and even brought her with him, sharing his only little secret with her, because this was something he never dared to dream of, but now, she is in his own In her arms, so soft, so petite.

He lowered his head and looked at her eyes that seemed to be entwined with flames, which were so hot that they almost burned people to death.

"Ayu, since I met you, I have always believed in all of this, so that I can meet you, stand by your side, and protect you."

This is the meaning of his existence.

The heartbeat in Xia Hanyu's ears became faster and faster, and she didn't know if it was her illusion, she seemed to feel that her heart was beating almost as fast as his.

She couldn't help thinking, maybe, she really liked him a little bit, not just because he was good-looking, but she coveted his face, and... body.

Then she heard herself say: "Ben Gong, yes."

……

The two stayed on the top of the mountain for about half an hour, but just turned around and took a few steps, a crossbow arrow came towards Xia Hanyu's face with a hissing sound.

Xia Ji quickly drew out the Xiuchun knife and chopped it into the air.

The next moment, more crossbow bolts were flying towards them, with cold poison on the arrows.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

While Xia Ji held her by his side, he resisted the crossbow arrows, and the hostility in his body gushed out instantly.

Xia Hanyu pursed her lips, and quickly drew the arrow from her waist to contact the hidden guard.

It exploded in the air with a "swoosh".

I don't know if I was in a hurry, those people who were hiding in the dark came out one by one, their faces were covered with black scarves, and they rushed towards them with murderous intent.
