Lu Yao still remembers that day, heavy snow like catkins was floating in the sky, and it fell on the inside and outside of the palace wall.

Always restless, she slipped out of the palace along the secret passage as usual.

Her father told her many times that as a princess, she shouldn't run around like a boy. How could she find her husband's family like this?But despite his words, his father never let anyone block the secret passage for her to sneak out of the palace.

My father has always been so soft-hearted.

She wandered around the streets like a normal little girl, and played snowball fights and built snowmen with other children.

She is the famous child queen in Ping'an Lane!

The ministers all thought that she, the legitimate princess, had been frail and sickly since she was a child, so she never showed up.

But no one knew that she was just too lazy to attend those palace banquets.

She was born to hate red tape, and a palace banquet was not as pleasing to her as a bunch of candied haws.

The only time she had to attend, she asked her nanny's daughter, who was also her maid, to appear in her place.

The wet nurse’s daughter’s surname is Lu, and her name is Lu Yao.

When she first entered the palace, the wet nurse said she wanted to change her name because it sounded the same as her own character Yao.

But there is no reason why others cannot shout what you call.

She, Ji Yao, does not have a domineering temperament.

Lu Yao's name was retained, and she and Lu Yao grew up like sisters.

But she didn't expect that this name would be for herself in the end.

After she won the snowball fight with her children that day, she bought a lot of candied haws. The red hawthorns were cored, wrapped in crystal syrup, and sprinkled with finely chopped sesame seeds. It made people salivate when they held it in their hands.

She bit into one, and her face wrinkled up because of the sourness. After a moment of sourness, it was overwhelmingly sweet, and the person who ate it felt happy.

"This one is for my father, this one is for my mother, this one is for Yaoyao, and this one is for my wet nurse. Well, by the way, Beauty Xu is pregnant with the baby. I think she might like to eat this too, so I'll buy her a bunch too."

Just as she was happily preparing to take another bite, she heard someone shouting in the distance, "Something happened in the palace! Something happened! It's been breached!"

Ji Yao didn't believe it.

She felt that that person was talking nonsense. The palace was her home. How could her home be breached? Where did the enemy troops come from?

She ran away, but she still held the candied haws in her hand tightly.

It must be false. How could this news be true?

The candied haws cannot be thrown away, she has to bring it to them to eat.

She was mumbling that it must be a lie, but her steps were getting faster and faster.

Ji Yao followed the secret passage back to the palace. The entrance of the secret passage was under the stone slab of his father's study.

But she pushed, but didn't push away.

Like something heavy is pressing down on me.

She gritted her teeth and pushed the stone slab open a crack, only to see what was pressed on it.

That was the body of her mother.

The queen mother who was always nagging her to be obedient.

The queen mother who would put her arm around her and tell her about the outside world.

The mother who said she disliked her father, but would make his shoes and socks with her own hands.

She is dead.

She pressed her body against the entrance to remind her most precious daughter, don't come out, don't come out.

Ji Yao's candied haws finally fell to the ground.

She covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from crying, but her eyes suddenly turned red as if they were stained with blood.

"Yun'er!"

It was Father, and Father rushed over.

He shouted his mother's name heartbreakingly, the pain in his voice piercing her heart like a needle.

She wanted to call her father, but her father found her first.

He looked at her and shook his head, tears falling heavily on the stone floor.

"My queen is dead, my concubines are dead, and my children are all dead. Are you satisfied now?"

If the father is not talking to her anymore, there are others in this palace.

"Uncle Shi is not dead yet, how can my nephew be satisfied?"

The sound of the tip of the knife rubbing against the ground stung people's eardrums.

What's even more incredible is this person's name.

It seems that only Li Shi's son can call his father Huang Shishu so intimately.

Sure enough, Li Guan's face appeared in Ji Yao's sight.

"Uncle Shi, please go on your way with peace of mind. Everyone in this palace will let them accompany you. You can still be your benevolent emperor underground. Give up your position in the world to my father. After all, you are not the best. Good brother?"

"You father and son are simply, absolutely crazy! You are worse than a pig or a dog!"

"Hahahaha, if this can make Uncle Shi feel more comfortable, then feel free to scold him. We, father and son, also know that we are in the wrong, but we are all mortals of flesh and blood, why can you be the only one to take the throne? Uncle Shi and I My father is an acquaintance of eight, and your Ji family has been on the throne for so many years, so it’s our Li family’s turn."

Ji Yao never thought that people could be so shameless.

She wanted to push through the secret passage and go out, but her father stepped on the stone slab seemingly accidentally.

"Then the disaster relief food funds for the people east of Hedong were also swallowed up by you and your son?"

"Yes, I would also like to thank Uncle Shi for his generosity and trust. Guess where those grains, grass, and money are? Hahahaha, they all turned into arrows that were shot at you! The tip of the knife pierced you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yao saw him take a sharp step forward and pierce the tip of the knife into her father's body.

The sound of the blade cutting through flesh and blood was so harsh that Ji Yao wanted to scream, but the successive blows had made her lose her voice.

She cried silently in that secret passage, letting her tears fall to the ground like a dam.

"Alive...alive..."

Her father fell face down on the stone slab.

He stared at her through the cracks in the stone slabs, trying to smile reassuringly.

It was as if he was telling her, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the emperor is still here.

live...

"Haha, it's really wishful thinking to still talk about being alive after everything is like this."

Li Guan pulled out the long knife, and blood dripped down the cracks in the stone slab into the secret passage and onto the candied haws that had fallen to the ground.

"...Alive."

Ji Yao watched her father say the last two words to her with difficulty, and then the eyes that always tolerated her and doted on him dimmed like extinguished candles.

Her father is also dead.

Ji Yao also seemed to have her soul taken away.

She sat on the ground blankly like a mindless puppet.

It seemed that only in this way could she block out all the pain, and only in this way could she not die of sadness.

Someone came in from outside the hall and reported the battle situation to Li Guan.

"Your Majesty, all the sons and daughters of this dog emperor have been killed."

"Ah."

After Li Guan replied, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, where is Princess An Yao, the princess he and the Queen are holding in their hands? I heard that she was frail since she was a child and only appeared in front of the world once. Do you recognize her?" Out of her?"

"Hui Shizi, my subordinates recognize that Princess An Yao is with her nanny. The nanny keeps calling her princess, and Princess An Yao herself admits her identity."

"That's fine. After all, to cut the grass, you have to get rid of the roots."

Only then did Ji Yao react.

Her wet nurse is still there, and they are also dead.

In order to give herself a chance to survive, the wet nurse actually admitted that Yaoyao was a princess in public.

And Yaoyao died for himself.
