My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

Speaking of this, Liu Piaopiao trembled all over, as if she was back in that cruel and bloody night.

In the city, flames of war raged and corpses were everywhere.

In the dilapidated temple, under the gaze of the shabby clay Buddha statue, a woman who was not a doctor was using a knife to cut open a pregnant woman's belly and take out the baby without any anesthesia.

Mei Xueer felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

Although she was not the real Mei Xueer, Princess Anping was the original owner's biological mother after all. Even if this happened to a stranger, it was still appalling.

Nanxing, who was standing by, also had red eyes.

Wen Bing sighed, walked up to her and quietly tugged at her sleeve.

Looking at Wen Bing's concerned eyes, Nanxing felt a little calmer.

Liu Piaopiao was still kneeling on the ground, trying to breathe deeply so that she could barely continue speaking.

Just like seventeen years ago, the princess tried hard to breathe deeply under her knife. Even if she could take one more breath, she could spend a moment more with her child.

"I cut open the princess' belly and took you out first, Miss Mei, and then the little prince. So, you are the elder sister..."

"Are they really twins?" Mei Xueer stood up suddenly. It seemed that Dad Du was still somewhat reliable.

Xixin was extremely surprised: "You also know this?"

Mei Xueer quickly shook her head: "How could I possibly know? It's just too surprising. Where is my brother now?"

"...I don't know. Please, Miss Mei, punish me for failing to protect my master." Liu Piaopiao kowtowed continuously with tears streaming down her face.

"Don't kowtow so easily." Mei Xue'er felt that Xixin was not an easy person. At least she was very loyal to her mother. Her impression of her changed a little, so she said, "All of you stand up and sit down and talk slowly. If you have any questions, I'll ask you later."

With the help of Baizhi, Xixin slowly stood up, sat down, wiped her eyes and said: "I put the two children next to the princess. The princess was covered in blood, holding one in each hand, looking at them with a smile. Then, the princess asked me to take out the token of the Nanyue royal family..."

"Token?"

"Yes, it's an eagle-shaped jade pendant. The totem of Nanyue is the eagle. This jade pendant was made by the founding monarch of Nanyue. It has always been held by the king of Nanyue. Seeing the jade pendant is like seeing the king. When the real army attacked the city, the king knew that he could not escape this disaster. When he let Princess Anping escape, he gave the jade pendant to the princess... When the princess was dying, she ordered someone to cut the jade pendant into two and stuffed it into the swaddling clothes of the young lady and the little boy with her own hands."

Mei Xueer suddenly remembered that once, Liu Piaopiao had deliberately fiddled with an eagle-shaped jade pendant in front of her. "So, the jade pendant you showed me on purpose that day was fake. You just wanted to see my reaction?"

Xi Xin nodded, "But the young lady looked calm. At that moment, I began to doubt whether the young lady was the one I was looking for. But I soon realized that if that bastard really wanted to hide the young lady's background, he would never let her know the existence of the half jade pendant."

Mei Xueer smiled bitterly inwardly. Perhaps that half of the jade pendant was really hidden by Prime Minister Mei. Perhaps it was in his secret room.

"Okay, I understand. Go on."

Xixin burst into tears again: "After the princess put the two halves of the jade pendant away, she kissed the young lady and the young master on the forehead for a long time. Then the princess, she called out the name of that bastard with tears in her eyes, and then..."

Mei Xueer felt a pang of pain in her heart again. A mother is strong. Perhaps this is the power that supports a pampered princess to endure such a tragedy in the world with a smile.

When the child was taken out, the army of Zhen Kingdom had already begun searching house to house for the whereabouts of the princess.

Because Xixin was Princess Anping's most personal maid and someone the princess trusted extremely, everyone at that time obeyed Xixin's orders.

Xixin weighed the pros and cons again and had to make a painful choice.

She had no time to bury the princess's body, and was worried that it would be humiliated, so after kowtowed three times, she had someone set fire to the dilapidated temple.

At that time, the city was full of fire, screams and cries. So the fire did not attract the enemy, and Princess Anping's body was buried in the sea of ​​fire.

Xixin and several other palace maids and secret guards who had been following the princess, a total of more than ten people, escorted the two children and escaped in the chaos.

But there are corpses everywhere and enemies everywhere. How can we escape from the city?

As daybreak approached, the group finally arrived near the city gate.

The guards were very tight, and Xixin knew that it would be impossible for more than ten people to escape from the city together.

At this time, a secret guard suggested that Xixin, another palace maid named Zisu, and two other secret guards with strong martial arts skills escort the young lady and the young master, while the others would lead the enemy troops to open the city gate.

To put it bluntly, they are just going to die...

Fortunately, the two children seemed to know they were escaping from the moment they were born. Although they did not drink a sip of milk, they fell asleep quietly without crying or making a fuss.

In this way, Xixin held the little prince, and Zisu held Mei Xueer, and they escaped from the city under the escort of two secret guards.

At dawn the next day, the child started crying because he was hungry.

A secret guard captured a goat that had just given birth, squeezed out the milk and fed some to the two babies in swaddling clothes, then continued to escape.

Xixin thought that the enemy would never expect that they would fall into their trap, so he headed north and eventually escaped to Qingzhou in the territory of Zhen State.

They didn't dare go to places where people lived, so they lived in seclusion in the mountains.

There is miasma in that mountain, and I thought it was a natural barrier, so no one would search here.

But after a few days, the soldiers caught up with them.

They began to flee again.

During the escape, one secret guard died, and another was seriously injured in the abdomen while trying to protect the child, and his intestines were spilling out.

But at that time, Xixin and Zisu had to protect the children in their arms, and seeing that the secret guard was obviously dying, they could not take care of him.

The secret guard who was doomed to die was Yan Sha, who later became the richest man in Zhenguo, Gu Jia.

Later, because of avoiding the miasma in the mountains and forests, Asarum and Perilla also got separated.

Xixin came to a village outside Qingzhou city, hoping to find something to eat for the young master, but he could not hold on any longer and fainted on the side of the road.

When she was rescued by a kind-hearted person, the young master had disappeared...
