Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

She wanted to question Qingyao about something, but she didn't get the chance. She was dragged away by the crowd, and despite her struggles, they took all her belongings.

Even her cotton-padded coat was torn off and taken away.

Lin Xiaoxiao lay in the carriage, still able to hear Lin Wanwan's cries.

Perhaps the people outside are more terrifying than those hungry wolves.

Lin Wanwan was shivering from the cold, curled up on the ground, when suddenly a warm cotton coat was put over her.

With tears in her eyes, she looked up and then viciously ripped off her clothes.

"Get out of here!"

Qingyao calmly picked up the clothes from the ground and dusted them off.

"You should wear it, otherwise you won't be able to last long in this weather."

Lin Wanwan seemed to realize something and stopped resisting, letting Qingyao put the clothes on her.

I cannot die; I must live. Only by living can I drag all those who have insulted me down to hell.

Lin Wanwan looked at Qingyao with red eyes: "Why did even you betray me?"

Qingyao knelt down and tenderly tidied up the stray hairs around Lin Wanwan's ears.

He said gently, "Are you only able to see yourself? Are the people around you just there to complement you?"

Only then did Lin Wanwan notice that Qingyao was no longer calling her "Miss".

Lin Wanwan gave a desolate smile: "You only started to have ulterior motives because you saw me fall from grace!"

Qingyao frowned, stood up abruptly, and looked down at Lin Wanwan: "Is that how you see me?"

If I lost love with you, I wouldn't have used the methods I despise to approach Zhao Feng and gain benefits that I don't care about.

Your mistake was rescuing me from the clutches of the eldest son of the Wu family. Every day I live is like hell.

You don't know, do you? I fell in love with Zhao Feng, and when I realized it, I was standing in front of him looking like that.

Qingyao started crying as she spoke, but Lin Wanwan ruthlessly interrupted her.

"You harbor such resentment because I treated you too well before, making you forget your place."

Lin Wanwan's icy voice utterly dashed Qingyao's hopes for her.

Qingyao squatted down in front of Lin Wanwan again, looking at the young lady she had once cherished with great reluctance.

Lin Wanwan looked away and took a few steps back uncomfortably: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Qingyao, abandoning her previous madness, calmly said, "It's nothing. I've already consulted with the old lady. I will stay by your side, Miss, and accompany you on your final journey."

The final journey?

Lin Wanwan sighed inwardly at Qingyao's shallow knowledge and misuse of vocabulary.

But I'm still glad that Qingyao was just venting her emotions and didn't completely abandon me.

Qingyao quietly walked to the side, cooked some wild vegetable soup to warm herself up, and brought it over to Lin Wanwan.

After taking the bowl, Lin Wanwan took a sip, and the chill on her body dissipated considerably.

She glanced at Qingyao, who was drinking soup beside her, and assured her, "Don't worry, I remember everything you've done for me."

When I return to Junze's side, I will definitely find you a good family.

"At that time, even Zhao Feng will think more highly of you."

After saying that, Lin Wanwan took another sip of hot soup and gradually stopped trembling.

Qingyao didn't react to her promise and continued to sip the wild vegetable soup.

Suddenly, Lin Wanwan noticed a drop of blood in her soup bowl.

It slowly spread in the bowl, then another drop.

She seemed to realize something and tentatively reached out to touch her nose.

Warm blood instantly covered her palms.

Lin Wanwan turned to look at Qingyao beside her, and in her anger, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You...you poisoned me?!"

Qingyao's condition was also bad; she had also drunk the poisoned vegetable soup.

She grinned and looked at Lin Wanwan: "Miss Lin is right, this medicine really doesn't make people suffer, it just makes people want to sleep!"

Lin Wanwan, forcing herself to stay conscious, looked at Qingyao and questioned, "Miss Lin? Which Miss Lin?"

What medicine did she give you? What did she tell you that made you dare to kill your master?

"Miss Lin is naturally your older sister, Miss!"

The way you treated her before, this is her way of repaying you!

"Lin Xiaoxiao? You actually conspired with that bitch to harm me?"

Qingyao laughed wildly: "How could I bear to hurt you? We're suffering so much right now, what is there left for us to cherish in this world?"

Lu Hu noticed their situation and came over to check.

I was also startled.

Qingyao had lost all will to live. She lay on the snow, staring blankly as the snowflakes fell.

When Zhao Feng ran over and saw this, he broke down and ran to Qing Yao's side, hugging her and crying out.

Qingyao tried to raise her hand to wipe away the tears on his face, but she couldn't reach them and her hand fell to the ground.

Lin Wanwan drank relatively little of the wild vegetable soup, and she reached out, trying hard to reach Lu Hu.

I want him to save me.

She doesn't want to die!

She had not yet married Junze, nor had she yet become empress and mother of the nation.

My mother once said that she was the most noble woman in the world, born to be an empress.

In a daze, besides seeing Lu Hu's disgusted expression, Lin Wanwan seemed to see Chu Junze dressed in wedding attire riding a tall horse to marry her behind him.

In the end, Lin Wanwan lost her vital signs in the icy snow, with a beautiful smile on her face.

After frowning and sending someone to handle the matter, Lu Hu went to find Madam Gu and asked her to dispose of Lin Wanwan's body.

But the old woman shrank back, trying her best to distance herself from Lin Wanwan.

Qingyao was simply wrapped in a straw mat and buried by Zhao Feng.

Lu Hu sent men to bury Lin Wanwan's body.

Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't expected Qingyao's death. After all that had happened, she still chose to follow Lin Wanwan in death.

Lin Wanwan's departure went unnoticed by anyone.

Gu was only worried about how to safely get her eldest grandson to their destination.

Everyone racked their brains all night, only to find that the wolves were just staring at them.

No attack was launched.

Because everyone hadn't slept well the night before, they all looked rather tired the next day.

A man stretched and said, "If I had known those wolves were so cowardly, I would have slept well last night."

"Let's be careful, I have a feeling something's not right."

“Something’s not right. I think those wolves are too scared to come out because they see that there are too many of us.”

Lin Xiaoxiao sat by the fire, listening to everyone's conversation, but she didn't agree with them.

She knew that wolves were very intelligent animals, and if they really didn't intend to attack, they wouldn't waste time here.

Last night's surveillance was just to wear everyone down until they couldn't take it anymore and were physically exhausted.

That's when they come down the mountain to launch their attack.
