I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

After a moment, Emperor Wu of Liang said in a deep voice, "Raise your head."

Lin Taotao looked up at Emperor Wu of Liang tremblingly. Meeting his cold eyes, she was so frightened that she immediately drooped her eyelids.

Emperor Wu of Liang looked at Lin Taotao, who was dressed simply and had slightly trembling eyelids, and he could not muster any interest at all.

If it were in the past, he might have been interested in teasing her, but he wasn't in the mood right now.

What he needs now is a capable person who can solve the problem, not a woman who tries to win his favor by being mysterious.

"You can predict things that haven't happened in your dreams, can you take it seriously?"

"It's absolutely true." Lin Taotao swallowed nervously.

"Then tell me, when will the natural disaster end?"

Lin Taotao's heart skipped a beat. She thought Emperor Wu of Liang would ask her about the theft in the national treasury. She had already made up a story, so why was he suddenly asking about the natural disaster?

She knew that there would be a drought across the country, but she really didn't know when it would end.

When she died, there was a drought throughout the country.

It’s all the Xiao family’s fault, otherwise why would she die so early.

Lin Taotao licked her lips, rolled her eyes slightly, and said nervously,

"I only dreamed of a drought, but I haven't dreamed of when it will end yet."

"Huh!?" Emperor Wu of Liang's face darkened.

Lin Taotao kowtowed hurriedly, her voice trembling as she said, "I was frightened by the miserable conditions of the people in my dream, so I woke up in shock..."

Emperor Wu of Liang looked at Lin Taotao intently. After a while,

"Yuhuaqian!"

"The slave is here."

"Lin Taotao is imprisoned in the Biyue Palace and has been ordered to be kept under strict watch."

"Your Majesty!" Lin Taotao raised her head suddenly and looked at Emperor Wu of Liang in shock.

She has such powerful abilities, shouldn't she be made a concubine to win her over?

How could she be imprisoned? Are you kidding me?

Emperor Wu of Liang waved his hand and said, "When she predicts when the natural disaster will end, she will report back."

Judging from the weather, there is no way to avoid the natural disaster, so he must make plans early.

Now that the national treasury is empty, taxes from all regions should be paid as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when natural disasters occur, it will be difficult to collect taxes...

"twitter!"

Yu Huaqian walked up to Lin Taotao and said, "Please come in, Miss Lin Er."

Lin Taotao bit her lower lip and stood up with an unwilling look on her face.

She followed Yu Huaqian out of the imperial study, looking back every few steps at Emperor Wu of Liang tenderly, hoping that he would change his decision.

Unfortunately, she didn't see Emperor Wu of Liang anymore, nor did she hear him trying to keep her...

........

"It's safe inside the cave. We can go in. We'll rest here tonight."

Xiao Yunzhan came out of the cave, and while helping Old Madam Xiao walk into the cave, he turned his head and spoke to the people behind him.

He found this cave halfway down the mountain and went in to take a look around.

It doesn't look like there are any animals living in the cave, and the space is quite large, so a family can live in it without being too crowded.

It's getting dark now, and it's not suitable to continue traveling. We may not be able to find a safe place to spend the night ahead.

Although July is the hottest month of the year, Lin Yiran still felt a little chilly when she walked into the cave.

The temperature in the cave is six or seven degrees lower than outside. It will be difficult to endure the night.

After climbing the mountain for half a day, the sisters-in-law were so tired that they could not speak. As soon as they entered the cave, they all collapsed on the ground.

Instead, the two children had slept in Lin Yiran's arms all the way, and now they looked very energetic.

Xiao Lingyan very sensibly took the quilt from her aunt's hand and found a flat place to spread it out.

Lin Yiran looked at the thin quilt on the bed that could no longer be seen in its original state, and the corners of her mouth twitched twice.

It was hard for my sister-in-law. She was so tired that she almost fainted, but she was still dragging the quilt tightly.

"I'm going to go find something to eat. Don't come out of the cave. It's deep in the mountains not far down. It's very dangerous."

After Xiao Yunzhan helped Old Madam Xiao sit on the quilt, he turned around and gave instructions to everyone.

Starting from tomorrow, they will be walking into the deep mountains, one mountain after another, and it will become more dangerous the further they go.

It hasn't rained for so long that the animals on the mountain are very irritable and will be several times more dangerous than usual.

Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran and his second sister-in-law.

"Thank you for guarding the cave entrance with swords. I will use hay to block the outside. If any wild animals come, call me loudly..."

If his family wasn't extremely hungry, he wouldn't dare leave.

Now that the family is together, if he asks the gods for food, and food suddenly appears in the cave, it might scare his family.

After all, his family had thought that the food was sent by his men.

There is plenty to eat in the mountains, so he can be self-reliant and cannot rely too much on the help of the gods.

The second sister-in-law handed the sword in her hand to Lin Yiran.

"Don't worry, fourth brother. I can still handle a mere beast."

"You have to be careful and don't go into the deep mountains. There are many wolves at night." The second sister-in-law looked at Xiao Yunzhan with concern.

He is the backbone of the family now, and nothing can happen to him again.

Lin Yiran took the sword and curled the corners of her lips, "Don't worry, don't think about leaving when the beasts come. Give us a snack tonight..."

She can kill a beast with one punch.

To be honest, even though she was rich and beautiful before, she had never eaten any wild rare animals. After all, eating those things is illegal and it is easy to get caught.

From now on they will be walking on mountain roads, so she can satisfy her craving for food.

Xiao Yunzhan's eyes trembled slightly. He seemed to see a hint of excitement flash in Lin Yiran's eyes?

Does she really want to encounter the beast?

In the capital, he had never seen such bold ladies.

"Be careful..." Old Madam Xiao took a breath and whispered.

Xiao Yunzhan nodded, turned and walked out of the cave.

Lin Yiran and her second sister-in-law sat at the entrance of the cave with swords in hand, watching Xiao Yunzhan picking up hay and covering the entrance little by little.

Soon, the cave became pitch black. You couldn't see your hand in front of you, and the only sound you could hear was everyone's breathing.

"Guru Guru~"

I don't know whose stomach started to sing the empty city plan first, and then gurgling sounds came one after another in the cave.

"Pfft~~"

Lin Yiran couldn't help laughing.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then started laughing.

The second sister-in-law sighed quietly, "It's great that the family can be together. We are happy even if we are hungry."

"Yes, I feel a lot more at ease..." the third sister-in-law echoed.

The sister-in-law said in a slightly relaxed tone, "It will get better and better in the future..."

Madam Xiao patted Xiao Linghui who was leaning against her side and said, "Come and sit on the blankets. It's still a little cold in the cave. Let's get warm together..."

"Ah~~"

Xiao Lingyan moved over and sneezed loudly.

The eldest sister-in-law quickly hugged Xiao Lingyan in her arms and said, "Don't catch a cold."

The second sister-in-law's voice was a little nervous, "Ling Yan, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Don't worry, mother. I'm not feeling uncomfortable." Xiao Lingyan rubbed her nose, her voice a little nasal.

Listening to her daughter's heavy nasal tone, the second sister-in-law sighed helplessly.

In this situation, even if you are sick, you have to just endure it.

Lin Yiran felt that the temperature in the cave was getting lower and lower. If it continued like this, she might get sick from the cold.

She stood up, pushed aside the weeds at the entrance of the cave, looked around, turned back and said to everyone,

"I'm going to go out and get some firewood to keep warm. I'll move a big rock to block the entrance of the cave, and you just need to hide inside."
