Chapter 272 How could she be a princess?
“Ouch…it hurts…”
Weak crying came from the corner.
It’s too dark!
I can't see anything.
Xiao Tangyue lowered her head and fumbled around her waist, opening her small brocade bag, which emitted a bright light.
"Hmph! Baby has this!"
Xiao Tangyue took out the night pearl with a cute and proud look on her face. It was the one she and her brother used when playing marbles.
A small night pearl illuminates the surroundings.
Xiao Tangyue got up and walked to the corner, "Hey! Where does it hurt?"
"Yueyaer, be careful." Xu Yan protected her tightly.
Small night pearls illuminate the corners.
I saw a little girl of seven or eight years old, with torn clothes and large bruises and scars on her body.
She lay on the haystack, looking at the two of them with her dying breath, "Wuwuwu...it hurts..."
!!!
Xiao Tangyue and Xu Yan were both stunned.
They squatted in front of the girl, their eyes wide open, not daring to touch her.
"Who hit you?"
Xiao Tangyue's cheeks puffed up with anger. "My mother said that anyone who hits a child is a beast!"
"Don't be afraid, little sister. Tell me and I'll make the decision for you!"
The girl shook her head slowly.
She cried in pain, sobbing and saying, "Dad sold me. He said it wouldn't matter if he beat me to death."
"Wow, wow, wow... I miss my mother..."
Xiao Tangyue was stunned.
She didn't understand, how could a father sell his own child?
Xu Yan held her hand and said, "Yueyaer, poor people will sell their children to rich families to be maids and servants. But..."
"But what?" Xiao Tangyue turned her head and looked at him.
Xu Yan took a deep breath and considered a tactful explanation: "Selling a body to sign a contract usually doesn't require such a young child. Unless it's a brothel."
"cut!"
There was a laugh in the darkness.
A hoarse young man's voice came: "This place is much worse than a brothel!"
"Who are you?"
Xiao Tangyue grabbed the night pearl and walked to the next room to take a look. There were many children locked up there.
There were both men and women, all very young.
There is only one oldest one, and that is the boy who is talking. He looks about thirteen years old.
The young man squinted his eyes because of the light, and he looked at Xiao Tangyue and Xu Yan as if he was examining goods.
The young man chuckled and said, "You look like children from a wealthy family! Were you kidnapped?"
"I advise you not to struggle."
"The last abducted girl cried and screamed, and every bone was broken..."
The young man turned his head and said in a hoarse voice: "She was fed to the dogs before she died..."
"She was eaten alive by dogs, leaving only..."
"Shut up!" Xu Yan took a breath.
He hurriedly covered Xiao Tangyue's ears and glared at the boy, warning: "Stop talking!"
The young man grinned: "I am kindly advising you to accept your fate, so as to avoid dying too early and being too miserable!"
Xiao Tangyue pulled Xu Yan's hand down.
She glared at the boy angrily: "Xu Yan and I will not die! Father and Mother will come to save us!"
"Father? Mother?"
The boy laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. He wiped his tears and laughed, "So you have princess syndrome!"
Xu Yan's face darkened, "Yueyaer is the princess!"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
The boy pointed at the two of them and said, "A little lunatic and a fool!"
Xu Yan’s fists hardened.
If they were locked up together, he would definitely go up and fight!
Xiao Tangyue tugged at Xu Yan's hand and coaxed him softly, "Xu Yan, don't be angry!"
"When we get out, he'll know how powerful we are!"
The boy laughed sarcastically again.
He leaned his head against the dirty, damp wall, rolled his eyes and sneered, "If you can escape, I'll be your dog!"
"I don't want it!"
Xiao Tangyue wrinkled her face and looked at the boy with disdain: "You are not worthy of being this princess's dog."
"Yueya'er is right! He doesn't deserve it!"
Xu Yan lowered his head to look for something, took off his coat and spread it on the ground, "Yueyaer, sit down and rest."
"Tsk tsk tsk, so there's already a dog."
The boy is weird and very annoying.
Xiao Tangyue ignored him. She raised the Night Pearl and looked at the next door, asking, "Why aren't they moving?"
The boy closed his eyes and said, "I've taken the medicine."
"Then why are you okay?"
The boy grinned: "If you eat too much, it will be useless."
Xiao Tangyue blinked and stared at him curiously: "Have you been imprisoned for a long time? Where is this place? What is your name?"
The boy moved his body, revealing his twisted and broken right arm.
He had long been numb and didn't even frown.
It seemed like someone was finally talking to him.
The young man talked a lot: "Not long, maybe seven or eight years."
"This is the Marquis's Colosseum. He likes to play with pretty little girls and boys like you. When he gets tired of playing with them, he sends them to fight. No matter how many go in, only one will survive in the end."
"I survived every time. I'm the best!"
The boy smiled proudly: "I want to live! I don't want to be eaten by dogs!"
But he didn't mention the name.
Xu Yan couldn't help but ask: "No one came to save you?"
"I'm an orphan!"
"...I'm sorry." Xu Yan apologized.
The boy laughed again, "You're such a fool! There's no point in apologizing! If you run into me, I'll definitely kill you!"
"Can't!"
Xiao Tangyue's face was serious and angry: "This princess won't allow you to kill Xu Yan!"
"You don't have to kill anyone anymore! This princess will ask my father, the emperor, and my mother to rescue you and them all!"
Xiao Tangyue clenched her fists angrily, "The bad guys who hurt you deserve to die!"
The boy was shaking with laughter.
In the darkness, his eyes were bright green, like a wolf's.
He stared at Xiao Tangyue and muttered, "She looks... like a princess."
very beautiful!
Very cute!
It seems like she was pampered and raised with gold and jade.
The boy lowered his head and laughed at himself: "How could you be a princess?"
"Who dares to kidnap the princess?"
"Haha... Do you want your entire clan to be exterminated?"
Sudden!
There was a commotion outside.
The torches illuminated the surroundings, revealing iron cages containing dozens of sleeping children.
Seeing a group of men rushing in, Xu Yan immediately blocked Xiao Tangyue.
But this group of people didn't even look at them.
"Madam Hou has ordered! Set fire!"
"Hurry! The Emperor and Empress are coming to North City! We must not let anyone discover these children!"
"Pour out the oil quickly! No one can be left alive!"
The black oil splashed on the ground and the wall, and when the torch was thrown, a raging fire burned!
This group of people set the fire and ran away!
Xu Yan was so frightened that his face turned pale, but he still defended Xiao Tangyue tightly: "Yueya'er, squat down! Cover your nose and mouth! I'll find a way!"
He picked up a stone from the ground and hit the iron lock with it.
Xiao Tangyue's face turned pale with fright.
She squatted on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes: Father! Mother! Brother! Where are you?
Woo woo woo——
Come and save the baby!
"It's on fire—"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there's a dilapidated temple on fire in the North City!"
A fire at this time?
Xiao Jin and Yun Tang looked at each other, feeling so panicked that they couldn't breathe!
The next second, the emperor and empress said in unison: "Quick! Go to the ruined temple!"
"Hurry up and find someone to put out the fire!"
