Old Madam Gu wrapped the child in clothes and rushed to the Third Prince's residence with her weak body.

She must go back quickly. This is her and Xiao Xinghan's eldest son. Even if he wants to be the crown prince, it should be her son.

When she rushed back to the palace, Xiao Xinghan had already been released from the woodshed.

For more than a month, he stayed in the woodshed without enough food or warm clothes, his whole body was covered with frostbite, and he was in a daze.

Gu Nanqiao and Gu Qingfeng would beat him whenever they were angry. Xiao Xinghan became more and more sensitive and inferior, and looked gloomy.

Even though he had washed and put on clean clothes, he could never return to his former high spirits.

He sat in the main seat in a daze, listening to Gu Nanxiao's speech.

Gu Nanxiao analyzed the current situation with him and told him that the prince was killed by Gu Lingshuang, and he would most likely be the prince in the future.

But no matter what Gu Nanxiao said, Xiao Xinghan had no expression. He was like a puppet, being manipulated by others.

Gu Nanxiao looked at his horrible appearance and thought, since he has become a fool, he might as well make good use of him.

Why must this country be named after Xiao? Can't it be named after Gu?

As long as he can hold Xiao Xinghan tightly in his hands, sooner or later he will overthrow the Great Xia Empire.

Don't blame him, he was forced into this state.

The sky gradually darkened, and Old Madam Gu finally returned to the Third Prince's Mansion with the child in her arms.

However, no matter how hard she knocked on the door, no one opened it.

Old Madam Gu shouted outside the Third Prince's mansion for more than an hour, but no one paid any attention to her.

The baby in her arms was already very young, and was left outside in the cold for more than an hour, eventually freezing to death.

Old Madam Gu held the stiff child in her arms, as if she had lost her soul.

She had just given birth and was extremely weak. She had also experienced the pain of losing a child, and she seemed to have aged ten years.

She left the palace like a walking corpse. In the huge Shengjing, she had no place to stay. Finally, Old Man Gu left the city again. There was an abandoned manor outside the city. It was the only private property she had left.

If she hadn't been in desperate situation, she would have forgotten about this place completely.

Old Madam Gu buried the child and then settled down in the dilapidated farm.

She looked like she had given up, but if you looked closely at her eyes, you would find that they were full of hatred.

She hated Gu Nanxiao, Gu Xianer, and everyone who had let her down.

As long as she doesn't die, she will take revenge sooner or later.

Xiaoyao Wangfu.

Xiao Ziming waited and waited but Gu Lingshuang didn't come back.

He suddenly became anxious.

"Zhu Feng, go ask the servants where the princess has gone."

Zhufeng went to ask and soon found out the news.

"Your Majesty, the princess has gone out of town to relax."

Xiao Ziming instinctively felt that something unexpected had happened, otherwise Gu Lingshuang wouldn't have come back so late.

"Give the order and follow me out of the city to find the princess."

A group of people suddenly left the city in a mighty manner.

At this moment, under the cliff.

Gu Lingshuang and Xia He slowly woke up.

When the two opened their eyes, they found that it was completely dark.

"How are you, princess?"

Gu Lingshuang had many scratches on her body, but fortunately there were no fatal injuries.

"I'm doing fine. How about you?"

"Don't worry, Princess. I'm fine. It's just that it's already dark now. How are we going to leave here?"

Gu Lingshuang comforted her: "Don't worry, the prince will come to find us if he finds out that we haven't returned to the palace."

The two men first found some dry firewood and then lit it to keep warm.

They didn't know how much time had passed, but when they heard someone calling them, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Princess, the prince has indeed sent someone to look for us."

"We are here--" Xia He called out.

When Zhufeng and his team found them, they saw Gu Lingshuang and Xia He roasting by the fire. Both of them had bruises on their bodies, but none of them were too serious.

In this way, Gu Lingshuang and Xia He followed Zhufeng and left the bottom of the cliff.

After climbing up, Gu Lingshuang saw Xiao Ziming at a glance.

He had a look of worry on his face, but the worry seemed to melt away the moment he saw her.

Gu Lingshuang's heart warmed up, and she took two quick steps: "My Lord, why did you come here in person? You are not in good health, and it is cold outside. It is easy to catch a cold."

"You are my princess, it is only right that I come to you in person."

Gu Lingshuang felt even warmer in her heart, and her feelings for Xiao Ziming grew even deeper.

But once she thought about what she had done with the man in the black dragon mask, she felt sorry for Xiao Ziming.

Gu Lingshuang suppressed her irritability and said to Xiao Ziming with a smile: "My Lord, let's go back."

Xiao Ziming asked: "What happened?"

Gu Lingshuang thought about it and did not hide anything, and told what she had experienced.

After hearing this, Xiao Ziming was frightened. If something really happened to Gu Lingshuang, he didn't know what he would do.

"Take me to that village and have a look."

"Okay." Gu Lingshuang did not refuse.

There are still many dead bodies in the village, and she has to deal with them, otherwise she will get into a lot of trouble.

Gu Lingshuang brought Xiao Ziming to the hall of the mountain village.

Even Xiao Ziming was surprised when he saw the corpses all over the ground.

"Did you kill all these people?"

"Well, if they want to defile me, I will kill them all."

When Xiao Ziming heard the word "defile", his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Good kill."

Then he saw the dead prince and others, and he was surprised again.

"them......"

"They sent the bandits to capture me and bring me to the mountains, intending to rape and kill me."

Xiao Ziming suddenly clenched his fists. He used to think that the prince was incompetent, but he never expected that he would be so cruel to his own aunt. He deserved to die, but it was a bit inappropriate to leave his body here.

"Wind Chaser, burn all their strength in one go."

"Yes." Zhufeng took the order and started to light a fire in the mountain village.

Gu Lingshuang, Xiao Ziming and others went down the mountain. The village was engulfed in fire and all the bodies inside were burnt black, unable to distinguish their original appearance.

"You have been wronged."

Gu Lingshuang smiled and said, "I'm not wronged. I had already planned all this and deliberately lured them out to catch them all in one fell swoop."

Xiao Ziming smiled but said nothing. He was willing to indulge Gu Lingshuang. No matter how big a trouble she got into, he was willing to cover it for her.

There was silence between the two of them in the carriage for a while.

Gu Lingshuang closed her eyes, always feeling that she had missed something.

what is it?

She thought about it and suddenly realized that she did not see Aunt Zhao among the pile of corpses.

Aunt Zhao was used as a shield by Gu Nanxiao. The bullet hit her right in the heart and she should have died. Why didn't she see it just now?

Is she not dead? Impossible.

Or was he taken away by someone? Who could it be?

Maybe it was Gu Nanxiao. After all, Aunt Zhao gave birth to a son for him. Maybe he wanted to bury Aunt Zhao's body?

Gu Lingshuang didn't think any more as the carriage drove away.

They didn't notice that behind a thick tree stood a woman covered in blood. This woman was none other than Aunt Zhao.
