Chapter 499 Where is this place?
"What happened?" Little Blue Moon couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
The young emperor glanced outside to make sure no one was there before saying, "Someone has discovered the Lan family."
Fearing the two might not know the situation, he explained, "They are remnants of the Lan family from the previous dynasty, and those people are currently hunting them down!"
The young emperor's gaze swept across Little Blue Moon's face, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes.
Now that Little Blue Moon has lost her memory, she was slightly taken aback when she heard the young emperor's words.
Then she frowned and placed her hand on her forehead.
"I feel like I've forgotten a lot of important things!" Little Blue Moon said in a low voice. Perhaps because her head was throbbing, Little Blue Moon's face was already a little pale, and her brows were tightly furrowed.
The young emperor paused slightly, feeling inexplicably saddened as he looked at Little Blue Moon in such a state.
"If you've forgotten, don't think about it anymore. Otherwise, if you lose your mind, I won't take care of either of you!"
The young emperor muttered something to himself, then, as if remembering something, he added, "Alright, let's pack our things and eat first. We're leaving here first thing tomorrow morning!"
They ate something, and then the three of them went to sleep.
When the young emperor and Little Blue Moon awoke, the person in front of them had already disappeared.
Little Su Bao is gone, leaving only half a sesame seed cake.
The young emperor and Little Blue Moon searched for a long time but could not find Little Crispy.
At this moment, Xiao Su Bao was plunged into darkness again. She called out loudly, and her voice did come out, but no one could hear her.
Here lies an endless expanse of darkness.
Just then, Xiao Su Bao suddenly heard a loud suona horn sound.
Her hair stood on end instantly, and her eyes darted nervously around.
Immediately afterwards, the scene in front of the little girl flashed.
She saw the young emperor riding a tall horse, and beside him was a woman, Lan Yue.
They seemed to have grown up a lot at this moment.
Lan Yue's hair was tied up, and she dressed as a married woman.
The emperor had also transformed into a young man, and the two looked very well-matched standing together.
Lan Yue, standing to the side, looked at the wedding not far away, her eyes filled with a strange expression.
"Tell me, how could someone as talented and beautiful as Lin Xi marry Lan Junyi!"
Lan Yue's voice wasn't very loud, but the emperor beside her could hear it clearly.
After a pause, the emperor said, "Are you out of your mind?"
Lan Yue rolled her eyes. At this moment, the girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and the corners of her lips were curved, giving her a heroic and dashing feeling.
Little Su Bao was slightly taken aback.
I wanted to go up and say hello, but I was pulled back by a mysterious force.
"Huh?"
Almost the instant Xiao Su Bao disappeared, Lan Yue turned her head and looked over.
"What's wrong?"
The emperor sensed something was wrong with Lan Yue and subconsciously asked a question.
Lan Yue shook her head, paused for a moment, and then continued, "I just sensed the mute girl's presence!"
The emperor was slightly taken aback, then shook his head: "What are you thinking? How could the mute girl be here?"
Thinking of their little baby, a hint of sadness appeared in their eyes.
"Sigh, I've had people search for him in so many places over the years, but it's like that child just appeared out of nowhere and then disappeared just as suddenly!"
The emperor is not yet the emperor, but merely Prince Rui. He glanced at Lan Yue, paused, and said, "Let's go back!"
At the same time, Xiao Su Bao's vision blurred, and she found herself in a new house.
"Juan'er, is that you?"
A gentle female voice came from inside.
Little Su Bao paused slightly and subconsciously looked up.
A woman dressed in a green wedding gown was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a fan in her hand. Hearing the noise outside, she quietly moved the fan away a little.
Then, Xiao Su Bao was stunned. The face was very similar to her mother's, but the eyes were different.
It must be her maternal grandmother!
Xiao Su Bao was thinking about Lin Xi's identity.
She thought her grandmother couldn't see her, so she didn't say anything.
"Huh!"
She exclaimed in surprise, clearly not expecting a child who looked like a beggar to appear here.
After all, this is his own wedding room, and there should be quite a few people waiting at the door right now.
Are you a child of the Lan family?
Lin Xi looked at Xiao Su Bao, her voice extremely gentle.
Little Su Bao was startled and was about to speak when she heard the noise outside. Instinctively, she wanted to hide.
"Wife, I'm here!"
That was her grandfather's voice, and Xiao Su Bao was immediately stunned.
He quickly darted out as soon as he opened the door.
Lin Xi paused for a moment. For some reason, she always felt a strange sense of closeness when she looked at Xiao Su Bao.
It was like seeing a long-lost relative!
Lin Xi was so engrossed in watching that she saw Lan Junyi walk inside.
"Where did that little beggar come from, honey? Did he frighten you?" Lan Junyi asked anxiously as he approached.
"I'm fine!" Lin Xi shook her head, as if she had thought of something. She said, "That girl gave me a feeling of familiarity!"
Even though Xiao Su Bao ran quite a distance, she still managed to hear their conversation.
The little girl pursed her lips, a strange light shining in her eyes.
Grandma is so gentle, Grandpa...
My maternal grandfather seemed very different from the one I met later!
Xiao Su Bao pursed her lips, thinking of her grandfather. Every time he saw her, his eyes were cold, complicated, filled with disgust or longing.
Just then, she bumped into a woman.
"Where did this beggar come from, daring to come to the Lan family? Guards, beat this little beggar to death!"
A vicious voice came from behind, and Xiao Su Bao raised her eyes to look over.
This person was actually Xiao Zhou Shi, Xiao Zhou Shi in her youth.
Little Su Bao instinctively stepped back, then skillfully ran around the Lan family's house and escaped.
She was almost at the courtyard where she used to live when the little girl suddenly felt a headache.
Turning around, I was surprised to see Xiao Zhou's vicious face.
The little girl's vision went black, and she was plunged into darkness again.
When Xiao Zhou saw Xiao Su Bao fall into the lake, she immediately ran away. After all, she was still young and a little scared.
Little Su Bao didn't die; instead, she reappeared in the darkness, though the back of her head still hurt a little.
In a daze, she seemed to hear the cry of a baby, and her heart softened instantly.
Little Su Bao raised her eyes and ran towards the place where the baby was born.
"Madam Lan has given birth to a daughter..."
Hearing this, Xiao Su Bao felt inexplicably happy, and her eyes lit up.
She had always thought this place must be the Empress Dowager's dream.
But now!
Little Su Bao is a little confused again.
If it really is just a dream, why am I here right now?
The last time was when my maternal grandparents got married, so what about this time?
Little Su Bao raised her eyes and looked at the huge plaque of the Lan family, her eyes filled with confusion.
Just as Xiao Su Bao was confused, the voice in her ear suddenly turned into that of Old Madam Lan.
"You've already had two children, and your health probably isn't good enough to serve me anymore. I think you shouldn't always cling to me; I should let him have his way with everyone..."
Xiao Su Bao instinctively wanted to refuse on Lin Xi's behalf, but then she heard Lin Xi say, "Okay!"
Xiao Su Bao was taken aback, and then heard Lin Xi say, "Since Grandma says so, I can't say anything. However, from now on, Grandma, please don't let any extra people come over to my yard!"
Zhou's voice came from the darkness: "Good!"
Little Su Bao's eyes were filled with confusion.
But soon she heard her grandfather's voice.
"Xi'er, look, this is a longevity lock I made for our daughter. Let's name her Shuyu, Lan Shuyu, okay?"
Grandpa's voice when he was young had a cheerful quality that was hard to describe, and Xiao Su Bao couldn't help but be a little stunned.
The next moment, all around him were Lan Junyi's voices expressing his love for Lan Shuyu, as he watched his daughter grow up little by little.
Everything in front of Xiao Su Bao was dark; she could only hear her grandfather's voice.
The little girl struggled, trying to see everything clearly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't.
The sounds of Lan Shuyu and the others' cheerful laughter kept reaching my ears.
But one day, Xiao Su Bao suddenly heard her mother crying.
Just then, a scene appeared in front of Xiao Su Bao.
A little girl of seven or eight years old was lying in front of the grave, crying pitifully.
"Mother..."
Lan Shuyu lay on the tombstone.
Just then, a boy covered in wounds appeared and grabbed Lan Shuyu.
"Save..." the boy whispered, but his eyes closed instantly.
Lan Shuyu was startled and forgot to cry, only hiccuping loudly.
Xiao Su Bao paused. Her eyes had been filled with sadness, but in that instant, she froze.
That boy was his father, Tang Bugui.
But Father looked like he was on his deathbed, as if he was about to die at any moment.
Lan Shuyu looked at the boy, whose eyes, which had been swollen and red from crying, were now wide open.
She bit her lip, sighed, and then suddenly picked Tang Bugui up in her arms.
Little Su Bao was stunned when she saw this.
Is Mother really that strong?
Xiao Su Bao had always thought that her strength came from her father, but when she saw Lan Shu Yu's strength, she was stunned.
"Today is the anniversary of my mother's death. Don't turn into a star too, or I'll be scared!"
The little girl muttered to herself and pulled Tang Bugui into a nearby cave.
Lan Shuyu sighed, then took out the offerings she had made for her mother.
She then sprinkled the medicine powder her mother had left her on Tang Bugui's body.
She stopped crying. The night was very cold, and it had even started to drizzle outside.
Lan Shuyu had no way to leave.
Now that no one is taking care of her, Lan Shuyu feels both relieved and sad.
In the middle of the night, Tang Bugui started to have a fever. Lan Shuyu didn't know any medicine and couldn't do anything, so she could only imitate Lin Xi and use a handkerchief to wipe Tang Bugui's forehead and neck.
"There are so many stars in the sky, don't turn into one too. If you die, I'll be scared all by myself!"
Lan Shuyu's voice wasn't very loud, but her words seemed to have a magical quality.
Little Su Bao also called out anxiously, but for some reason, this time she couldn't interfere with anything.
Suddenly, a voice called out, "Shuyu, Shuyu, where are you?"
Xiao Su Bao subconsciously looked around and saw Lan Junyi braving the rain, anxiously searching around.
Lan Shuyu sighed, thought for a moment, and put her medicine and a cloth bag containing food aside.
I have to go!
She is eight years old now and must follow the rules; she can't be as unrestrained as before.
Lan Shuyu came running out.
She didn't see that Tang Bugui's eyes had already slightly opened.
Lan Junyi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lan Shuyu was alright.
Immediately afterwards, the expression on his face changed slightly.
"You silly girl, how many times have I told you not to run around? This city is dangerous. If something happens to you, how will I explain it to your mother!"
Lan Junyi's demeanor was different from his coldness towards Xiao Su Bao.
His eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at Lan Shuyu.
Little Su Bao was a little stunned, but then seemed to have figured something out.
When Lan Shuyu looked at Lan Junyi, her expression remained indifferent.
"I understand!" Lan Shuyu nodded, her voice not very loud.
Little Su Bao wanted to keep watching, but the scene in front of her changed, and she saw her father open his eyes.
Looking out from inside the cave, he could only see Lan Shuyu's back.
Father was slightly taken aback as he looked at the food on the ground and the medicine bottles.
A strange glint flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, he wolfed down the food and sprinkled the powder on the injured area.
Father's mental state has improved a lot, but there seems to be a strange look in his eyes.
Xiao Su Bao breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of her lips turned up slightly.
Father is indeed the most amazing.
The next moment, Xiao Su Bao saw her own father turn around and walk straight out!
Just then, darkness descended upon Xiao Su Bao.
Little Su Bao instinctively rushed forward.
Unexpectedly, they ended up in a dilapidated temple.
"Who are you?" Tang Bugui's voice came.
Little Su Bao's eyes widened. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.
She was covered in dirt, and her face seemed to have changed slightly.
The next moment, a voice rang out: "Bu Gui, you'd better leave!"
Blue Moon's voice came through.
Little Su Bao subconsciously looked over and saw the emperor and empress inside the dilapidated temple. The empress's belly was round and frighteningly large.
Tang Bugui tucked Xiao Subao under his arm and ran straight over.
"No, I can't leave!"
After Tang Bugui finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Su Bao.
"You're mute, so as long as you take good care of... this lady, all this silver is yours!"
As he spoke, Tang Bugui took out a bag of silver from his pocket.
Before Xiao Su Bao could react, a commotion erupted outside.
Little Su Bao looked at Blue Moon's belly, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
The emperor glanced at Xiao Su Bao and couldn't help but say, "Why did this boy send over a little girl? Really... Wife, how do you feel about this!"
The emperor was about to say a few more words when he suddenly noticed the empress's furrowed brows and anxious expression.
"Wife, bear with it. We'll go find a midwife soon. You can't have anything happen to you. What will I do if something happens to you!"
The emperor's eyes were filled with anxiety, but he was not a doctor and had no idea what to do.
Just then, Xiao Su Bao stepped forward.
The emperor was so frightened that he almost chopped Xiao Su Bao up with his sword.
Fortunately, the Empress stopped it at the crucial moment!
"Ahhh..."
Little Su Bao opened her mouth as if to say something, but only one sound came out.
What are you doing!
The emperor stared at Xiao Su Bao, his eyes bloodshot, looking extremely terrifying.
Little Su Bao was startled, but she took a deep breath, mustered her courage, pointed at the Empress, then at herself, and touched her wrist with her little hand.
The emperor was completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on.
The little girl had no choice but to place her hand on Lan Yue's wrist.
Compared to when she was a child, Lan Yue has become much thinner, but she now exudes a more heroic and spirited air.
"You know medicine... are you going to take my pulse?"
Lan Yue was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at Xiao Su Bao.
The little girl nodded immediately, but her eyes made Lan Yue pause slightly.
“Your eyes are somewhat similar to those of a little girl I met before.”
Thinking of the mute girl, the Empress felt a little sad.
After all, the little girl disappeared when she was with them.
Before the emperor could say anything, the empress reached out her hand to Xiao Su Bao.
The emperor stood warily to the side. The struggle for the throne had reached a critical juncture, and he had to be extremely vigilant.
After all, they were almost killed before because they were too soft-hearted.
But the emperor secretly glanced at Xiao Su Bao and found that Xiao Su Bao had not harmed his wife.
Just as the emperor was about to look away, his eyes instantly fell on Xiao Su Bao.
"Girl, where did you get this rope on your body?"
The emperor saw the rope on Xiao Su Bao's body, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
He had seen this rope on the mute girl before, because he remembered it clearly because some of the knots were burned.
Little Su Bao paused slightly, then looked up, her innocent big eyes blinking as she looked at the emperor.
emperor……
"Tell me, what is your relationship with the mute girl? Or... are you the mute girl's child?"
The emperor looked at Xiao Su Bao and thought it was unlikely.
Little Su Bao felt even more innocent when she saw her grandfather's expression!
But she soon realized something was wrong.
The Empress's pulse suggests that she is already experiencing signs of premature labor.
Even though Xiao Su Bao knows this isn't reality.
But the little dumpling still felt a little nervous.
The Crown Prince's uncle had been in poor health since childhood because his grandmother was born prematurely.
Moreover, the Crown Prince's uncle caught a cold at that time, was born with a weak constitution, and did not recover well later!
Little Su Bao's hand instinctively landed on the Empress's stomach.
The empress, standing to the side, was slightly taken aback, wondering if it was just her imagination.
Almost the instant Xiao Su Bao touched her belly, the Empress felt that her belly didn't hurt as much anymore.
Xiao Su Bao took a deep breath and subconsciously reached for the pills at her waist.
But all the pills on his waist were gone, leaving only some poison powder.
The little girl certainly can't use it here.
Little Su Bao frowned slightly, feeling a little anxious.
Finally, they could only begin by gently massaging some of the empress's acupoints.
The queen, who had just been experiencing stomach pain, now felt much better.
The bloating and pain in my stomach disappeared.
"daughter in law……"
When the emperor saw the empress's brows relax, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry."
The Queen exhaled.
At this moment, Tang Bugui returned, glanced at Xiao Subao, and was slightly surprised.
It was quite rare that the emperor didn't get angry at Xiao Su Bao.
He paused for a moment, then walked to the other side.
He reached out and pulled, and then saw something being pulled out.
"Master, Madam, we should go!"
Tang Bugui was very inexperienced, but his eyes were extremely firm.
It turned out to be a handcart.
A quilt was laid out on top.
Little Su Bao was slightly taken aback.
The emperor, however, skillfully placed the empress on it.
With one pulling and the other pushing, the two ran quickly into the mountains.
Little Su Bao has short legs and a small body, but she is not slow when she runs.
Tang Bugui originally planned to put the little girl in the stroller, but there was no opportunity at all.
The little girl was running ahead of them almost the whole time.
A resolute look appeared in her eyes.
Those eyes...
For some reason, Tang Bugui kept thinking about the little girl who had saved him.
It's been so many years, I wonder how that little girl is doing now.
The group quickly left where they had been standing.
They had barely run out when a dozen or so men in black came chasing after them.
Little Su Bao looked at Tang Bugui and the Emperor and Empress.
The little girl turned around and rushed towards those people.
Tang Bugui's expression changed drastically, but he had no time to go back.
The emperor, on the other hand, was cursing and turning around to grab Xiao Su Bao.
Before the emperor could make a move, they saw Xiao Su Bao grab a packet of powder and throw it at the people.
Almost at the same time, the little girl was swallowed up by the crowd.
The emperor's face was grim, and he felt somewhat distressed.
"This girl is really showing off!" The emperor gritted his teeth, turned around and left.
But for some reason, he suddenly thought of the mute girl again.
Almost simultaneously, everything went black before Xiao Su Bao's eyes, and she seemed to have returned to a dark space once again.
The scene before her continued, with the Emperor, Empress, and Tang Bugui escaping the villains.
Their eyes were red, and they looked very sad.
Seeing their sadness, Xiao Su Bao's nose also felt sore.
But before they could even feel sad, the scene before Xiao Su Bao's eyes changed again.
Soon, Xiao Su Bao saw the Empress giving birth.
There was only the Queen and a midwife in the room.
The midwife held a dagger in her hand, and in the next instant, she was about to stab the empress.
Little Su Bao grabbed the dagger from the midwife's hand and knocked her unconscious.
The Empress is almost too weak to give birth.
In a daze, she seemed to see Xiao Su Bao and reached out to grab the little girl's hand.
"Dumb girl, have you come back to take me away?"
Xiao Su Bao quickly shook her head, then seemed to have thought of something. She took the dagger that the midwife had stolen and cut her fingertip.
While the Empress was dazed, Xiao Su Bao approached and dripped his blood onto the Empress's stomach.
The next moment, the queen seemed to sense something, and she suddenly exerted force.
Xiao Su Bao skillfully delivered the baby and then cut the umbilical cord.
Little Su Bao quickly used a towel prepared nearby to wipe the dirt off the prince's body.
"Waaaaah!" The little prince cried loudly, looking quite healthy.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Su Bao looked at the Empress.
The Empress had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Little Su Bao looked at the baby in her arms, a strange light in her eyes.
Before long, Xiao Su Bao sensed something and immediately stood up and walked outside.
Almost at the same time, the door was pushed open.
Little Su Bao's figure disappeared through the doorway.
Tang Bugui was slightly taken aback and subconsciously stepped forward, but was kicked away by the emperor.
"Get lost! Do you think you can just walk into my wife's delivery room?!"
The emperor cursed and glared at Tang Bugui.
He didn't notice the moment when Xiao Su Bao disappeared; his mind was only on his wife.
The smile on the emperor's face vanished instantly upon seeing his unconscious wife and the midwife lying on the ground.
"Wife, are you alright? Wife, how are you?"
The emperor called out anxiously, his eyes filled with worry.
The crown prince, who was standing to the side, was completely ignored by the emperor.
The empress woke up groggily and saw the emperor's face covered in tears.
"I...I'm fine!"
The Empress spoke with difficulty, and then, as if sensing something, she looked around.
Was I just imagining things?
Her eyes were glazed over, and she was even more confused.
Just then, she heard the child crying.
I wasn't imagining things!
So... is she a mute girl, or is she the mute child I met back then?
The Empress felt that there was something they had overlooked.
Just then, the emperor said, "What's going on with this midwife?"
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his wife was alright, but his gaze toward the midwife remained icy cold.
"She just tried to kill me!"
The Empress did not hide anything and told the story directly.
Upon hearing the Empress's words, the Emperor's expression changed slightly, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes!
"A bunch of bastards, I'm taking that throne!"
The emperor was not interested in the throne at all. All he wanted was for his family to be safe and sound, and for that brat Tang Bugui to be alright.
But those people won't give me a chance!
A hint of anger flashed in the emperor's eyes.
"Alright, let's take this midwife away and interrogate her first!" the Empress said after thinking for a moment.
Upon hearing his wife's words, the emperor nodded, a hint of malice in his eyes.
Little Su Bao was plunged into darkness once again, and then a man wearing a blue-faced, fanged demon mask appeared in front of her.
"You've ruined my plans again!"
The man's voice was hoarse, but Xiao Su Bao could tell.
This person is the younger brother of Queen Blue Moon.
It was Lan Xiao, the one who didn't like herself.
"Where am I? Why are you..."
Before Xiao Su Bao could finish asking her question, Lan Xiao suddenly approached, a long sword suddenly appearing in his hand.
Xiao Su Bao's expression changed slightly, and she quickly took two steps back.
Almost at the same time, a voice came to Xiao Su Bao's ear.
"Su Bao, wake up!"
Little Su Bao paused, then instantly realized what was happening.
"Hmph, since you like it here so much, then stay here forever!"
Lan Xiao suddenly made a move, and then a golden light flashed by, blocking Lan Xiao's attack.
Ghost-faced Lan Xiao's face was gloomy, and a hand grabbed Lan Xiao and dragged him away.
Little Su Bao swayed, and the scene before her eyes changed again.
The next moment, she saw her mother as an adult, being chased by people.
Not far away was a brothel.
Then, Zhou's maidservant rushed over in a hurry.
She was accompanied by two guards.
These people all belong to the Zhou family, and Xiao Su Bao knows them.
Xiao Su Bao was slightly taken aback, but the next moment she noticed that something was wrong with Lan Shu Yu; her cheeks were flushed, as if…
