Forced love, an inescapable fate

Mu Qingli felt a little uncomfortable when she thought that he had lived in this place for so many years.

According to Alan, Jiang Ci was sent to Qi as a hostage when he was seven years old. At that time, he probably didn't know what it meant to be a hostage in another country. Although this original body was three years older than Jiang Ci, he was only ten years old when he came to Qi. Two such young children suddenly left their hometown and were sent to a foreign country where they knew nothing. It was a blessing for them to survive until now.

Although what the original body did was indeed unkind, he was probably forced into doing so.

Still a poor man after all.

But the most hateful people are those who sent them to Qi as hostages. How could they be so cruel to them when they were just two young children?

Thinking of this, Mu Qingli looked at Jiang Ci with eyes full of pity and heartache, and didn't know how he had survived all these years.

Jiang Ci naturally noticed the look in her eyes when she looked at him.

Although he scoffed at her hypocrisy in his heart, his expression remained gentle.

He smiled and said, "What's wrong, sister, why are you looking at me like that?"

Mu Qingli looked at the gentle smile in the eyes of the young man in front of her, and felt even more distressed for him in her heart.

I also secretly made up my mind to get him out of here.

With a firm look on her face, she solemnly patted the shoulder of the young man in front of her who had a gentle smile.

"Brother, let's find a way to escape from here. As long as we escape from here, the sky is high and the sea is wide. We can always find a way to survive."

When she finished saying this, Jiang Ci's expression froze, and he seemed a little unresponsive.

At the same time, I was also confused.

Did she really lose her memory?

Is she really unaware of the recent rumors?

He looked carefully at the person in front of him and obviously didn't believe what she had just said.

Mu Qingli saw the confusion in Jiang Ci's eyes and thought he was just joking. She turned Jiang Ci's body very seriously and spoke word by word.

"I'm not joking, nor am I having wild thoughts. Although I don't know the specific situation here yet, I'm serious when I say I want to take you away from here. Brother, no one here likes us. If we continue living here, our lives will be ruined. You're only thirteen years old now, and your life is long. You shouldn't waste it here. And I don't want to have to live here, being bullied and having to face others' opinions. Instead of living in fear every day, why don't we try our best? What if we really escape?"

Having said that, she blinked her eyes and continued with a tone full of longing.

"Think about it, the world is so big. We are only teenagers now, and we still have decades to live. We should go see the mountains, see the sea, eat things we have never eaten before, and see how people in the outside world live."

"Brother, what do you think?"

Her words really shocked Jiang Ci. He couldn't even believe that these words came from Mu Qingli's mouth.

Is she really the Mu Qingli he knows?

He even suspected that the person in front of him was someone else in disguise. How could Mu Qingli say such a thing?

When Mu Qingli said these words, she was looking at Jiang Ci very seriously.

So when Jiang Ci heard Mu Qingli say those words just now, he saw hope and longing in her eyes. Even when she said those words, the look in her eyes was captivating.

At this moment, she was lively and energetic, and her eyes were clear. There was no more timidity in them, and when she looked at herself, there was no disgust that she was familiar with before.

If she really acted in it, it wouldn't be too real. My real self would think she really had lost her memory.

Mu Qingli looked at Jiang Ci expectantly, looking at his beautiful and delicate facial features. At this moment, her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about what she had just said.

After a long time, Jiang Ci seemed to come back to his senses.

He raised his eyes slightly, met Mu Qingli's eyes, and said lightly.

"Sister, you're right, but have you figured out how to escape? This is the Qi Kingdom's palace, heavily guarded. How can you and I escape from here?"

Seeing that he seemed to be a little moved by what she had just said, Mu Qingli felt happy.

It is a bit difficult, but as long as he agrees to escape with me, I will always find an opportunity.

"We need to find an opportunity. Although the security is tight, there will always be a gap. As long as we are determined, we can always find a way out."

Jiang Ci's eyes were a little hesitant, but he finally nodded.

"Well, since Sister has a way, then I am naturally willing to take this risk with Sister."

Mu Qingli was looking at him at this moment, feeling extremely happy. When she saw this handsome and a little too handsome boy in front of her, she always thought of her lovely younger brother.

Now that Jiang Ci is here, I at least have a hope to survive in this world. Since I have come to this place, I will treat him like my own brother and take good care of him as he grows up.

When she made up her mind, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch Jiang Ci's face again.

The soft touch under her hand made her unable to let go. By the way, is it possible for a boy's skin to be so soft?

It would be unacceptable not to pinch it properly.

When her hand reached out, Jiang Ci subconsciously wanted to hide, but when he looked into her eyes, his subconscious movements were frozen.

It was not until Mu Qingli's hand left that he seemed to realize what she had just done.

His face turned red.

Mu Qingli smiled happily, "Don't worry, brother. We will definitely find a way to escape."

Jiang Ci just nodded imperceptibly.

Just then, a shrill voice came from outside the door.

"Is the proton in there?"

When he heard the voice, Jiang Ci showed a barely perceptible sneer on his face.

It seems that they have lost their patience, but what's the point of doing these things at this time?

Then, a look of confusion appeared on his face, as if he was very surprised by the sound coming from outside.

Mu Qingli was also a little confused.

But before the two of them could react, the person outside walked in.

When they saw Mu Qingli and Jiang Ci, they showed disdain in their eyes without any concealment.

Even though they were just eunuchs in the palace, to them, the two people in front of them were hostages from the Jing Kingdom who had even lower status than them. Although they didn't know why the people above asked them to move out of here at this time, and although they were reprimanded before coming and told that they could not treat these two people in the same attitude as before, in their eyes, these two people were still the lowly hostages from the Jing Kingdom.

Although he reluctantly bowed to the two of them, he still looked down on them, as if they were the masters who were high above him, while Mu Qingli and Jiang Ci were just ants on the ground that could be trampled on at will.
