After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

There was a brazier burning in the shed, but it was so cold that day, and Hui Bin shivered from the cold. Aunt Su once again persuaded her to go back, but she stubbornly refused, wanting to see the emperor's heroic appearance while hunting.

Mother Su had no choice but to ask Liu Yunxiang to go to the little eunuch in charge to ask for more charcoal to make the fire in the brazier hotter.

Liu Yunxiang came out of the shed and asked the little eunuch standing outside for charcoal fire.

"The charcoal has just been divided. I will go back to the courtyard to get it." With that said, the little eunuch trotted back.

It just comes and goes, it will take a while.

At this time, the maid next to Su Rumeng came out of the shed next door and said to Liu Yunxiang: "Miss Yunxiang, we have a lot of charcoal here. Come and take some away first."

Liu Yunxiang responded and walked over, opened the curtain, and saw Su Rumeng standing at the door.

"It's very cold today, why did you come to join in the fun?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Su Rumeng doesn't seem like someone who likes to join in the fun.

Su Rumeng smiled, and then looked forward, "Look, there is a mother and daughter among those death row prisoners. The little girl must be six or seven years old. Obviously she doesn't know their situation, and she turns around to look around. The scenery, and the mother hugged her child tightly, her eyes full of fear."

Liu Yunxiang also looked over and sighed when he saw the mother and daughter. At this time, the gongs and drums sounded, and the hunting began. The emperor put on his armor, and Wei Changyi stepped forward and gave him the bow and arrow.

Following the sound of the drums, the guards drove the condemned prisoners into the woods.

The condemned prisoners were too frightened to move, but some guards whipped them, and then they all started running.

The emperor's interest also came, he pulled up his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow, hitting the last man with weak legs and feet, hitting his vital point, and the man fell to the ground.

When the prisoners on death row saw this scene, they screamed and ran desperately.

"Haha, interesting!" The emperor laughed loudly.

The emperor fired the first bow, and the others raised their whips and rode into the woods after him.

Liu Yunxiang only had time to look at Yan Mu's back, but she quickly disappeared into the forest. Inexplicably, she felt a little uneasy.

"Can the mother and daughter escape?" Su Rumeng frowned and asked.

Of course you can’t escape!

None of those people can escape!

"Stop looking, you should go back soon." Liu Yunxiang pushed Su Rumeng back into the shed, then picked up some charcoal, and was about to go back when Wan Yi hurried in.

"Sister Yunxiang, Empress Hui is missing!"

Liu Yunxiang's heart tightened, "Why are you missing?"

"The empress said she was cold, so Aunt Su asked me to keep an eye on the empress. She went back to get her cloak. As soon as she left, Concubine Hui said she wanted to drink water. I went outside to ask for a pot of hot water, but Concubine Hui was nowhere to be seen when I came back. "Wan Yi was so anxious that she wanted to cry.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly went back with Wanyi, and sure enough, there was no one in the shed.

Su Rumeng also followed. She took her maid to help search outside. The four of them searched around but saw no one. At this time, Grandma Su came back and heard that Concubine Hui was missing. Her legs softened immediately.

"Have you already gone back?" Wanyi asked.

Grandma Su shook her head, "I didn't see her along the way. Besides, if she wants to go back, she will tell us."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment and said, "She sent us all away on purpose."

"But why did the empress do this?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, then looked ahead, "I'm afraid she will go into the woods."

When Wanyi heard this, she really burst into tears, "If something happens to your Majesty, we will be dead."

"Stop crying, stay calm first." Nanny Su exhaled, "I'll go find Wei Sili right now, and you guys can look around here again."

The four of them continued to search. Liu Yunxiang came outside the forest, hesitated for a moment, and then ran in.

"Yunxiang, I'm coming with you!" Su Rumeng chased after him.

Liu Yunxiang shook his head hastily, "Bows and arrows don't have long eyesight, and there are also those death row prisoners. It's too dangerous."

"The two of us are safer together than you alone."

"Can……"

"Okay, if Hui Concubine really entered the forest, she probably hasn't gone far yet. Let's run faster and we might find her soon."

That was all that could be done at the moment, Liu Yunxiang pulled Su Rumeng, and the two of them ran inside while looking for Hui Bin. When they met the guards, they asked them to pay attention to Hui Bin.

It felt like I hadn't run very far before the forest became denser. Even in winter, when all the leaves had fallen off, it was still blocking out the sky and the sun. There were even more ups and downs under his feet, and Liu Yunxiang fell down accidentally.

At this time, she saw the mother and daughter not far away running towards this side in a hurry, with several people on horseback chasing after them. In fact, they were not far away, within the range of bows and arrows, but they obviously felt that something was wrong. There is no point in killing them with arrows. They were driving the mother and daughter to play. Seeing them trying their best to escape but still unable to escape, their fear and despair pleased them.

The mother and daughter ran so fast that they failed to see the road clearly and rolled down the hillside to Liu Yunxiang and the others.

Liu Yunxiang immediately said: "Hurry and hide!"

The mother and daughter looked at them, obviously not trusting them.

"Hide in the weeds here!" Su Rumeng pointed to the weeds next to her. Seeing that the two mother and daughter were too scared to move, she stamped her feet anxiously: "Hurry, they are chasing us!"

The woman looked back and while she was still hesitating, the little girl quickly pulled her and ran towards the grass.

As soon as the mother and daughter hid, the group of men and horses chased after them. Without seeing clearly at first, they raised their bows and arrows at Liu Yunxiang and the others.

Liu Yunxiang shouted hurriedly: "Be bold, see clearly who we are!"

The leader is a young man from a certain family. He has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He is not a good guy at first glance. The man tilted his head and looked at Liu Yunxiang, and saw that she was wearing the clothes of a palace maid. Then he looked at Su Rumeng, who was even more gorgeously dressed, and then he put down his bow and arrow.

"Hey, with such stunning beauty in the mountains and fields, could it be that vixen?" As he said this, the man smiled lewdly.

Liu Yunxiang sneered coldly: "I am the maid next to the Queen Mother, and this is the future seventh prince. Open your eyes and see, which one of us turned into a vixen?"

After hearing this, the man knew that he couldn't be offended, so he touched his nose and said with a dry smile: "I have bad eyesight!"

"Humph, get out of here!"

The man's face turned green and he asked angrily: "Do you see two death row prisoners, a mother and daughter?"

Liu Yunxiang's thoughts changed, he nodded and said: "I saw it, ran over there!"

She pointed in a random direction, but the man didn't suspect anything and led the others in pursuit.

Liu Yunxiang and Su Rumeng both breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the mother and daughter also came out of the grass. Liu Yunxiang saw that the mother's arm was injured, and the little girl turned pale with fear.

The woman glanced at them without saying anything, and then looked around, obviously wanting to escape.

"We have to escape from this forest," the woman said.

Liu Yunxiang sighed: "The mountain forest has been surrounded by the camp on the outskirts of Beijing."

"I know a small road. It's very secret. They probably didn't guard it."

Liu Yunxiang asked curiously: "How do you know?"

"My family lives in the mountains here, so I am very familiar with the surrounding terrain."

"so."

"Can you two girls cover us?"

Liu Yunxiang and Su Rumeng looked at each other, turned around and said, "Okay."
