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

Liu Yunxiang saw the knife falling and could only protect the child in his arms. There was a cut on her arm. She subconsciously looked at it, but saw blood pouring out, and her sleeves were soon dyed red.

"Sister Liu!"

"princess!"

Liu Yunxiang frowned when the pain came. Seeing the panic on the face of the child in her arms, she rubbed the top of his head.

"Don't be afraid, it's alright."

At this time, Xi'er and Chang Tong ran over, and they were very frightened. Xi'er hurriedly stopped Liu Yunxiang's bleeding, and Commander Chang kicked the officer and soldier who injured Liu Yunxiang to the ground.

"If you don't want your head, why don't you quickly make amends to the princess!"

The officer and soldier did not expect to hurt Liu Yunxiang. At this moment, he hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "If I hadn't held this child back, he would have died by your knife right now."

"This subordinate accidentally injured the princess and deserves death!"

"How can this injury on my arm be compared with this child's life!"

"Princess, we are also following orders." Commander Chang said helplessly.

"I don't want to embarrass you." Liu Yunxiang looked at Commander Chang, "But can you allow these children to go back to the house and put on their cotton clothes and carry some dry food?"

"This……"

"You have set a dragnet here, they can't escape."

Commander Chang glanced at the injury on Liu Yunxiang's arm and reluctantly compromised: "Since the princess gave her orders, my subordinates dare not disobey."

He didn't dare take responsibility, so he passed it on to her.

Liu Yunxiang didn't care and quickly ordered Xi'er to take the children back to get dressed and pack dry food.

"Sister Liu, they will kill..."

"Xi'er!" Liu Yunxiang interrupted Xi'er, "Go and get ready."

Xi'er looked at these officers and soldiers and had no choice but to do as they were told.

Liu Yunxiang's arm was bandaged, and Murong Lingyi came over with a smile, "Liu Yunxiang, you harbored the fugitives from the Shannian Camp, which caused the epidemic to spread, causing people in Shengjing to panic. I will inform the emperor about this right now. You wait. Get your divorce letter!"

After saying that, Murong Lingyi glanced at Liu Yunxiang proudly, and then strode outside.

Commander Chang was silent for a moment and said, "Who is the owner of this courtyard? Does he know that the children from Shannian Camp are hiding here?"

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "He doesn't know."

"Princess, this matter is no small matter. You don't have to bear it alone."

"He really doesn't know. If it involves him, I would be uneasy."

Seeing Liu Yunxiang say this, Commander Chang stopped asking any more questions.

Xi'er was instructed by Liu Yunxiang to deliberately delay the time. Commander Chang sent people in to urge her several times. When she brought out the children wearing thick cotton clothes and carrying bags of dry food, Zijin finally brought the old prince.

"Oh, there are still a bunch of little bastards hiding here, and they have been raided." The old prince ran over.

Commander Chang looked at the old prince, frowned, and hurriedly greeted him and saluted.

"No, no, no, I'm just here to join in the fun." As he said that, the old prince glanced at Liu Yunxiang and nodded secretly to her.

"Old Prince, are you this old?"

"But are we going to send them back to Shan Nian Camp?"

Commander Chang paused and said, "Yes."

"It's time to send them back." The old prince tiptoed and looked inside. When he saw so many children, his face showed worry, but he quickly put it away and said with a smile: "I will send them back with you."

"This isn't appropriate."

"If there's anything inappropriate, why don't you plan to strike halfway and kill these children..." The old prince made a killing gesture.

"no no!"

"That's it."

"Where is the Fourth Highness..."

"If he has any dissatisfaction, just come to me!"

The old prince insisted on following, but Commander Chang did not dare to stop him, so he had to agree. But before leaving, he had Xi'er arrested.

When Liu Yunxiang wanted to stop him, Commander Chang clasped his fists and said, "We have to arrest someone for harboring fugitives from Shannian Camp and injuring officers and soldiers."

If Liu Yunxiang wanted to say anything else, Xi'er had already extended her hand, "I saved these children and hid them. One person is responsible for the work, and it has nothing to do with the princess."

"Xi'er!" Liu Yunxiang frowned.

Xi'er smiled at Liu Yunxiang, "Don't worry, Princess, I'll be fine."

Xi'er and the children were taken away, and Liu Yunxiang let out a long sigh. She had done everything she could, but let's see the result. From the beginning of doing this, she had no confidence. After all, hundreds of people in Shan Nian Camp died in the previous life, and no one survived.

Under the supervision of the old prince, these children were at least sent back to the Shannian camp and were not killed on the way.

Murong Lingyi went to the palace to complain, but the emperor did not punish her, for fear that he would blame Yan Mu for the crime and wait until he returned to Beijing to settle the matter.

Xi'er was imprisoned, which was a serious crime, so Liu Yunxiang was able to go in and visit him after dragging his connections.

The prison guard took her down to the dungeon, where all death row prisoners were held. Liu Yunxiang's heart couldn't help but twitch. It would be really heartbreaking for such a good girl to be beheaded because of this incident.

The corridor of the cell was very narrow and dark. At a glance, you could only see the flickering fire in the brazier at the end. It's quiet here, filled with the smell of death.

However, as I got closer, I could hear rustling voices. Although the voice was laughing, the tone was brisk and lively.

"Sister, I've been talking to you for so long, how about you respond to me? It's boring here, let's talk. What crime did you commit, did you kill someone or set a fire? I'll tell you He said, although I am locked up here, I did not do anything bad. I wanted to save people. If you ask me why I was arrested after saving people, I don’t know. It’s really hard to distinguish between black and white in this world.”

Liu Yunxiang was brought to the cell, while Xi'er was still leaning against the wall, trying hard to talk to the person next door. Even when people ignored her, she kept talking.

Seeing Liu Yunxiang coming, Xi'er was surprised and happy, and jumped up, "Sister Liu!"

Liu Yunxiang laughed. After being locked up for four or five days, she was still so energetic, which made her somewhat relieved.

She nodded at Xi'er, then took a few steps forward and looked towards the cell next door.

"Third Madam, how are you doing lately?"

The cell was dark and no one could be seen. Liu Yunxiang greeted him, but there was still no response.

"Two days ago, your maid Xiaolian came to see me again and said that he was your son..."

Speaking of this, Liu Yunxiang paused deliberately.

Sure enough, the black mist broke and a figure hurriedly ran over. It was the third lady, Mrs. Feng, who was wearing a large and dirty prison uniform, with messy hair and a thin face. She was looking at Liu Yunxiang with wide eyes and trembling eyes.

"My son...what happened to him?"

Liu Yunxiang looked at Feng and said calmly: "He is sick, has encountered difficulties, and has been treated poorly. What can you do even if you know it? You can't live for more than a few days in this death row. This child will have a sad life without his mother. Could it be that you can still count on Xue Hefeng?"
