170 Not Curious (1/2)

Yue Xiao Xiao pulled Xu Fei Yi and turned at her two maidservants.

”Grab anything that you can use to fight off the assassins. We must persevere until the end!! Do not lose hope!! We will escape!! We can escape!! Xia'er, bring Shin'er. Han'er, bring Fei Yi with you… No matter what happens, you must not turn back!! Do you understand??”

Xia'er shook her head.

”How about Empress NiangNiang?? This servant will not allow Empress NiangNiang to---”

”There is no time left!!!” Yue Xiao Xiao shook her head. She saw the that the carriage was caught with fire when the hand brazier was thrown away and a piece of burning charcoal fell on the carriage's linen.

”Listen to me! As the Empress, I order both of you to follow my command!!”

”NOOO!! Imperial Mother, this son objects!!”

Xu Fei Yi's eyes were misty. He could only try to hold back his tears since he knew that he should not show any weakness at the moment. He could not all his Imperial Mother to bear all the danger in order for them to escape!! He was a man!! He should be the one protecting her and not the other way around!

Yue Xiao Xiao ignored Xu Fei Yi's objection and pulled a short dagger inside her sleeves. Without any hesitation, she slashed her chest and blood started flowing out of the wound.

”Empress NiangNiang!!”

”Imperial Mother!!”

Yue Xiao Xiao pulled Xu Fei Yi forward, not caring that she was wounded and stared at his eyes.

”Xiao Yi. Imperial Mother does not wish for anything but for you to live well. Do not aim for the throne nor try to avenge me. Live! You must live well and make Imperial Mother happy.”

After Yue Xiao Xiao spoke, she slashed Xu Fei Yi's palm and pressed it in her wound.

”Ahhhh!!!”

Xu Fei Yi felt something burning entered the wound on his palm and could not help but scream. Unable to endure the pain, Xu Fei Yi fainted.

”Young Prince!!”

Yue Xiao Xiao turned her head and stared at Yue Shin.

”Shin'er… Protect Yi'er… Please, protect him…”

The child wiped the tears in his eyes and nodded.

”NiangNiang should not worry. This slave will protect His Highness…. This slave will not let Empress NiangNiang down.”

Yue Xiao Xiao nodded and smiled.

”Thank you….”

Without any other choice, Xia'er and Han'er carried the two children away to the carriage and ran to the west side of the forest.

Xu Fei Yi dazedly opened his eyes and found out that he was being carried by one of his Imperial Mother's personal maidservants.

”Nghn..” Xu Fei Yi wanted to struggle and escape from the maidservant's embrace but he was feeling weak and lethargic, as if all of his energy was being sucked away.

”N-no… I-imperial M-mother…” Xu Fei Yi sobbed when he saw the carriage was engulfed by a huge fire.

”HAAA!”

Xu Fei Yi opened his eyes and took a deep breath. If one could see, one would notice the deep melancholy and sadness inside his eyes. His face was pale as he slowly wondered his eyes around the area. He realized that he was inside XuanRong's courtyard.

Once again, Xu Fei Yi closed his eyes, trying to sort out his emotion.

It has been a while since he dreamt of the past.

”Shadow.”

Xu Fei Yi sat up and called Shadow.

Immediately, Shadow showed himself and kneeled in front of Xu Fei Yi.

”This subordinate is here.”

”Where is Your Ladyship?”

”…..” Shadow hesitated a bit.
