He remembered that there was no room at the well, that it seemed to be an open space. Thus, she wandered around in another big circle and found the well in the middle of the village.

But in broad daylight, should she go in?

Scratching her head, she blinked and sat on the ground. She touched the dry rations in her arms and started to eat today's lunch.

"Wuu … wuu …" "Woo woo!" Snowball licked the corner of his mouth and squatted on the ground, staring at Little Qiao.

"Do you eat? The poor baby has no goat's milk to eat. " Xiaoxiao looked at the pitiful snowball, hugged it in her arms, broke off a piece of steamed bun and stuffed it into its mouth.

Snowball was not picky with food. As long as there was food, he would still enjoy it. It made him feel extremely gratified. Ever since she was young, she had been taught that only by being able to endure hardships could she accomplish great things. This little thing was truly extraordinary!

"You must have felt wronged following big sister!" "Perhaps, you will suffer more grievances once you enter the palace." As she fed it, she muttered to herself.

After pausing for a while, she seriously warned, "Remember, no matter what grievances you suffer, you must not let yourself go. That is not the martial arts world, but the palace. Your sister will be punished for what you have done wrong."

Wuu!" "Woo woo!" Snowball looked at him and nodded.

"I know that you understand human nature very well. Remember, you must not help big sister anymore. That is no ordinary trouble." Little Jun tapped her little nose with her finger, and she knew that Little Thing must have taken her words to heart.

Snowball squirmed in her little arms, making her laugh.

However, it was this laughter that attracted the attention of a passing woodcutter. The woodcutter, who was all black and carrying a bundle of firewood on his shoulder, saw Xiaoxiao sitting on the ground and putting the firewood down, and came over.

"How could young master be here? Are you lost?" The woodcutter looked at her strangely, thinking that she was passing through the village without being able to find her way out.

Looking at the woodcutter's worried expression, he thought to himself, 'Could this place have been haunted by ghosts? That's why there's no one living in the village?'

Seeing that Xiaoxiao did not seem to understand, the axman took a few steps closer, and said mysteriously, "Young Master must be passing by, right? If they were passing by, would it be better to leave as soon as possible? "Remember to not stay here at night. This place is extremely scary!"

"Why?" The woodcutter did not look like a bad person.

The woodcutter looked to the east and west, his eyes revealing a wave of fear. He mysteriously said: "Young Master might not know, but this village is bustling with people. Twenty years ago, everyone in the village was killed by the wolf in one night, even the crying children were not spared. That bloody scene makes one feel afraid. "

"You … You said this place has... There are wolves? " He swallowed a small mouthful of saliva and held the snowball tightly in his arms.

"Hm!" You should leave early. " The woodcutter very earnestly warned, his gaze already on the meek snowball. He saw its eyes and felt a sudden burst of panic. He took a few steps back, turned around, and ran away.

An ominous feeling overcame her. She held the snowball like a headless fly and went somewhere to hide. Sure enough, there was no one around, so she sneaked into the well and groped her way down to the chamber.

Fortunately, she was fast. The woodcutter, who had just fled, quickly turned back around. Behind him was a group of villagers, each one of them carrying a fellow in their hands. They came menacingly and immediately surrounded the village, making it impossible for a drop of water to leak out.

There was a ruckus outside the well as he patted his chest and leaned against the cold wall. "Thankfully I was able to run fast, otherwise I would have stirred up a lot of trouble."

He quietly listened to the actions of the higher-ups and confirmed that the villagers had left. She leaned against the wall and slid to the ground, gasping for breath. She pointed at the little thing with her finger and pouted, complaining, "Don't turn blue. If anyone sees you, they will definitely exterminate you."

"Woo woo!" The little thing nodded in understanding, rubbing its small hand affectionately.

Shh!" The bottom of the well was empty, and a tiny hand covered Snowball's mouth, fearing the echo might cause movement. "Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, take a deep breath, make sure she couldn't hear anything before she slowly let go.

Outside the well, the villagers gained nothing. The woodcutter, who was leading them, felt that they might have run into the city with a group of people leading them back to the group.

After the villagers left, Bai Yunfei appeared in the middle of the village. He looked around, and with a frown on his face, he muttered to himself, "He was clearly here just now, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?" Does this girl know how to perform tricks in broad daylight? "

Unwilling to give up, he searched around again, but still couldn't find the secret of the well. Helpless, he could only chase after the woodcutter's path.

Below the well, he fumbled for sparks and lit a candle on the side of the stone wall. She had no choice but to break off a few candles and carry them in her arms, following the route she remembered to take to the rouge hall.

Day after day, the small departure made his worry even more. These days, for some reason, the empress often came over to greet him, making it so that Eunuch Lin did not dare to approach his during this period of time.

This was not the only thing that was scary. Often in the middle of the night, some of the men in black would throw some of their bodies into the well at the back of the yard. There was another thing that she couldn't figure out. That little girl's soul seemed to have disappeared. It hadn't appeared since Xiaoxiao left.

Only, the rouge flowers in the courtyard were still blooming with incomparable brilliance. No matter if they were beaten by wind or rain, they were unable to suppress the pace of their growth.

Today, the sky had just turned dark. Pingfei had finished her chores and planned to rest early tonight. Perhaps, if he slept well, he would be able to dream of his elder sister. Unexpectedly, just as she entered the house, she heard a familiar voice coming from outside.

"Lady Pingfei, are you there?"

He saw that Eunuch Lin looked haggard. He walked into the yard quietly and called out to Princess Pingping in a low voice. He kept looking around, afraid that there would be people following him.

"Hehe!" Hehehe! "

Pingfei opened the door and giggled. She had been paying special attention these days because she was afraid that if she revealed herself in front of others, it would bring about unnecessary trouble.

"Empress, this servant has finally met you." Eunuch Lin looked around again. With a nervous expression, he walked into the house, pulled Pingfei towards the house and quickly closed the door.

"What's going on?" Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, she became nervous herself.

Eunuch Lin sighed, weighing the pros and cons, before saying, "Empress, the emperor's body is getting worse and worse every day. The days that he wakes up are getting better and worse, and his complexion is getting worse and worse."

"I'm old, people always want to live in their dreams." Pingfei thought that perhaps Eunuch Lin was being overly attentive and was overthinking things.

Before Eunuch Lin could finish his words, he wiped his face and said, "Empress, little Lin overheard the conversation of a few servants. I heard that the Crown Prince was assassinated outside. He was severely injured, so I wonder if he can come back safely. "If he doesn't come back, the Emperor definitely won't be able to withstand such a blow. If …"

"Tell me …" Pingfei was stunned. She knew Imperial Concubine Mei very well, but these were the grudges of the previous generation. Back then, Xuanyuan Qi had indeed treated Xiaoxiao badly. However, she could sense that his sincerity was real, which resulted in a great change to him.

After all, his position as Crown Prince was better than Xuanyuan Jie's. Xuanyuan Jie was a pawn in the hands of the empress. If he sat in the position of crown prince and obtained control of the world, then the common people of the world would become a fiendish pit of fire and water. He really didn't dare to imagine how terrifying the world would become.

Seeing the hesitation on Pingfei's face, Eunuch Lin sighed again. "Sigh …" Even the Emperor doesn't know what's going on? So many imperial doctors have shown it to him, but he just doesn't wake up.

Pingfei's face turned pale as she nervously stretched out her palms. Suddenly, she became extremely excited. "Definitely … It must be her! It must be! "

"You mean that woman called Ran'er?" Eunuch Lin had long known that she had done something, but he had noticed the girl and had not realized that she was close to the emperor.

Unless she took advantage of the time when the emperor was asleep to tamper with the sandalwood incense used by the emperor.

"It's her!" It must be her! " Pingfei gradually calmed down and closed her eyes. Suddenly, she thought of Xiaoxiao.

If that girl was still in the Imperial Palace, things wouldn't have turned out that bad. Unfortunately, in order for a girl to live well, there were some things that needed to be learned to give up.

"Then what should we do now? If this continues, the Emperor … His Majesty's body was about to collapse. "Your Majesty, he …" As he spoke, tears streamed down Eunuch Lin's face. He had been facing Ran'er every day in the palace these past few days. At most, he could only show anxiety on his face, but he didn't dare to cry out loud.

God knows how his heart ached!

"You … Don't worry, I … Let me think, let me think! " With Eunuch Lin crying like this, Pingfei's hands and feet had also been thrown into disarray.

Closing her eyes, she tried to calm herself. She rubbed the silk scarf in her hand. As he paced back and forth, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

"Ai …" If only the princess consort was here. She's the only one who's not afraid of anything. " Eunuch Lin couldn't help but think of how the princess consort was doing in the martial arts world.

If the Crown Prince got into trouble, would the Crown Princess do the same?

Not daring to say anything, he nervously stole a glance at her.

Pingfei sighed as she sat on the bed. She did not want to offend Eunuch Lin either, but it was no good if she did not face reality. Shaking her head, she said with a worried look, "If the Crown Prince isn't able to come back, we have to prepare for the future."

"Empress, this servant swears to die waiting for the emperor. Even if I die, Little Lin will accompany the emperor." Eunuch Lin shook his head. He had never intended to leave, never in his life had he thought of doing so.

As she listened to Eunuch Lin's loyal officials and thought about the current situation the emperor was in, Pingfei's eyes moistened and tears began to fall.

"Empress, don't think too much. Perhaps the Emperor has his own destiny, and things will not be as bad as we think. " Eunuch Lin wanted to cry a long time ago, but when he saw his like this, he could only bear with it and pass a silk handkerchief to his.

"Yes!" Pingfei could only nod. She did not want to make Eunuch Lin feel any more hurt.

Eunuch Lin suddenly fell to his knees with a "plop" sound. Bang! Bang! Bang! "He kowtowed three times before opening his mouth again." Esteemed wangfei, perhaps your servant will come to visit you less and less in the future. " If it's really like that, I definitely won't let the emperor go. Esteemed Empress, you have to take care of yourself. If there's a chance, you can leave! "

"Get up! Hurry and get up! " Pingfei stood up to help support Eunuch Lin.
