"Protect the Emperor!"
In an instant, a ghostly black shadow appeared, pushed the little emperor aside, and stood in front of him, waving a silver sword.
The hidden men in black all rushed over after hearing the noise, swinging their swords to counter the continuous stream of hidden weapons.
The little emperor was already drunk last night, and his mind is not yet fully clear.
After being pushed by the secret guard, he immediately lost his balance and fell to the side. The golden crown on his head hit the window frame far away with a bang.
Immediately, a crisp "click" sound was heard in my ears.
White powder spurted out from somewhere and covered the little emperor's head and face.
“Cough cough cough… cough cough cough…”
The little emperor held his mouth and coughed violently. He reached out and touched a thick layer of "dust"!
What the hell is this?!
The little emperor was so angry that he punched and shouted:
"Ahhh! You bold thief! I'm so angry!"
As the king of a country, he is considered to be well-informed. But this is the first time I have seen such a perverted thief!
It would be fine if they looted all the money and treasures accumulated by his ancestors, but they also designed such a boring mechanism to mess with him!
Before he came in, the royal guards carefully checked the imperial study, but they didn't find any hidden weapons or traps.
It is conceivable that the people who designed these traps have reached the pinnacle of mechanical and hidden weapons, and are hard to find rivals in the world.
Such a powerful person set up such a wonderful mechanism, just to embarrass him? !
In short, it is very harmful and insulting!
"Ahhh! Kill this thief, I will bear the responsibility with you!"
The little emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over. He jumped up and prepared to gather the army to encircle and suppress the arrogant boy who dared to bully him!
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my chest. Then my vision went dark and I fell straight down.
"Bang--"
A crisp sound of head banging reached my ears.
The hidden guards were still dealing with the linkage mechanism when they came to their senses and immediately sent a few people to check on the little emperor.
"Okay! The emperor has fainted!"
"It's the powder that's the problem! Everyone hold your breath! That white powder is poisonous!"
"Xiao Shunzi! Xiao Shunzi! Send for the imperial physician to come to our rescue!"
…
While the palace was in chaos and the masters of each palace were having a hard time, the exile team had already found a sheltered valley and started to prepare lunch for today.
You know how to do it, now the energy is very constant.
It's only the beginning of winter, but it's already snowed heavily for several days. The official roads are also covered with thick snow. If it's shallow, half of your shoe will be submerged; if it's deep, even your ankles will sink completely.
The people who came to the exile team, except for the escorting officers, were mostly weak scholars and the elderly, women and children.
Even though the officials stopped to whip the prisoners, the group only walked a few miles after trudging north for a whole morning.
As soon as the Sheng family's eldest son and his wife found a place to sit down, Sheng Yichen quickly went to the jungle to pick up some dry branches and leaves and piled them together. He then borrowed a tinder from the messenger Li Feihu and built a small fire among the group.
Previously, everyone had integrated the small packages sent by the group of orioles into one big package and carried it on the backs of Sheng Yichen, Li Zhenyi and Yun Jin.
Now that everyone was free, they counted the things inside. They found a large cotton jacket that someone unknown had given to Sheng Yichen.
He only cared about putting on his own clothes and directly took off Sheng Nanxi's ugly and torn clothes, preparing to change her clothes.
As soon as Nancy Sheng's cotton jacket was untied, I saw that the white and tender skin on her neck and chest was rubbed into large patches of red rashes, and even some small blisters had appeared in some places.
Li Zhenyi and Sheng Yichen were so distressed that they hurriedly took out a bottle of ointment from the package, which was sent by some lady, and applied it on her.
Only then did he fold up the soft new cotton shirt and wrap it around Sheng Nanxi, tearing off a few strips of cloth to completely secure the clothes.
The whole family was so busy taking care of the little girl that they didn't even have time to deal with the blisters and rashes that were caused by rubbing against their bodies.
Originally, Sheng Nanxi had been using fire abilities to raise the temperature around the Sheng family's eldest son.
Her supernatural power is still very weak now, and it is a bit exhausting to continue to consume so much supernatural power. That's why she has been leaning on Sheng Yichen, half asleep and half awake, to catch up.
As a result, when she woke up, she found herself wrapped into a colorful ball!
The whole family was wearing ragged cotton padded jackets with holes everywhere, except for her, who was wearing a large adult cotton padded jacket.
Afraid that her skin would get frostbitten if exposed to the elements, he found some cloth from somewhere and wrapped her little legs and hands.
Except for her little face, no part of her body was exposed!
Sheng Nanxi was speechless and choked with emotion.
Yes, mother, you can also feel cold just by looking at the heavy snow!
You were just busy tying my clothes. You even had beads of sweat on your forehead. You don't think it's normal, do you?
"My dear, Xier is cold, Xier wants to wear such thick clothes!"
Sheng Nanxi stretched out her chubby little hands, trying to pull it out weakly.
Li Zhen was moved, and gently but firmly stopped Sheng Nanxi from trying to take off the simple version of the 'gloves'.
"What do you know, little kid? Of course it's cold sitting in front of the fire! The further north we go, the stronger the wind and frost will be. How can it be cold?!"
Nancy Sheng: !!!
Well, there is a kind of cold that makes your mother feel that you are cold...
No matter what, it feels warm to have family members caring about you.
Sheng Nanxi pouted and looked at it. She had to take back some of the fire-related abilities that were protecting her body and lower the temperature a little.
Perhaps it was because Sheng Yichen had given Li Feihu, the police officer, two taels of silver before they set out, so the officers also paid more attention to the eldest son of the Sheng family.
When the prisoners lined up to receive their meals, each could only get one hard black steamed bun for free. If they wanted to eat white steamed buns, they had to pay extra money.
When it was the eldest wife's turn, the officials did not take a penny from them and gave each of them a steamed bun made of white flour.
Li Zhenyi picked out the softest white flour steamed bun, and found some softer and juicier cakes from her bag to feed Sheng Nanxi.
After the little girl had eaten her fill, the family began to share the few remaining steamed buns.
While everyone was not paying attention, Sheng Nanxi took out some beef from the space and put it in the bag. Xiao Pang pretended to reach into the bag and searched around, then handed a bag of still warm beef to Li Zhenyi.
"My dear, Qi! Grandmother, brother, Yunjin, I give you Meng Qi!"
There were a lot of things in the big bags, and Sheng Nanxi suddenly found a piece of beef. Li Zhenyi didn't suspect anything. After taking the beef, she put it in the bag without hesitation.
Wenrou touched Sheng Nanxi's head and said, "Be good, these steamed buns are enough for us. Save the meat for now. When we have a place to stay in the evening, mother will make beef porridge for Xier."
The whole family tacitly did not even look at the beef, and slowly nibbled on the steamed buns in their hands.
For some time afterwards, I was probably going to eat beef every other meal.
They said it was okay for the adults to endure hunger, Xier was indeed growing up and could not stand being hungry.
놋Everything must be kept for Xier.
Sheng Nanxi looked at the people who were silently eating steamed buns and curled her lips helplessly.
Now there are too many people around, so it's convenient to say anything. It seems that in the dead of night, if I want to find a way to cure my brother, I have to reveal some of my supernatural powers to my mother.
Of course, he only cared about leaving the good things for her and was willing to eat anything.
After being exiled, she was still a little ball. The others must have been starved and malnourished!
Sheng Nanxi was holding up her fat chin and worrying about her family's life in exile, but suddenly she heard a familiar voice, shouting angrily:
"Master! On what basis can the eldest wife of the Sheng family eat white flour steamed buns for free and sit in the innermost sheltered place? We can only eat black flour steamed buns and sit outside in the strong wind?!"
"We are also members of the Sheng family, and we should enjoy the same treatment as the eldest wife!"
