He kept staring at his mother’s wound, she had torn a piece of fabric from her dress and bandaged the wound, but the blood oozed out and soaked the piece of fabric red. He stared, his eyes were red and he bit down on his lips tightly. His delicate face had paled in wake of tonight’s sudden change in events, those innocent and clear eyes showed worry and fear.
Su Xi’s face was white and her heart trembled. She was afraid, afraid that her husband would die and that her child would die, afraid that no one would save them. They were in a desperate situation and had nowhere to escape to.
Those people wanted to kill them, and they couldn’t escape.
When they came to the secret passage of the Palace, Su Xi led the two children into it. It was an underground room in the pond where boundary barriers and enchantments had been set up, even the strongest people would not be able to use their spirit intent to find out their whereabouts. This was originally a place meant for safety, they didn’t expect that….
Su Xi looked at Zhao Yang and asked: “Yangyang, I will entrust Ye’er in your care, will you promise me that you will protect him?”
“I will risk my life to protect Master.” Zhao Yang said firmly. He knew that the catastrophe the Feng Family meant that their chances of survival were grim. It was because of this he knew that his Father and the rest of them were going to save the Supreme Emperor. Even if it was likely that they would disappear between heaven and earth, they had to help.
They told him repeatedly that he had to protect the little Master. He remembered that! He must remember, he had always practiced so he would definitely protect his little Master.
“Yangyang is so good.” Su Xi’s eyes were red and her tears fell uncontrollably.
Those people had come so suddenly and had encased the entire Palace so the people inside could not escape. The Black Guards, Secret Guards and even the Feng Guards gave their all, but the strength of those people were too powerful for anyone in the Palace to match.
As she watched the familiar faces being killed one by one, she felt helpless and heartbroken.
She knew that they were all willing to give up their lives even though they knew that they could not save them, they would still place themselves in front of them to prevent them from danger and prevent them from the sharp knives.
“Mother, where are you going? Aren’t you staying here with Ye’er? Mother, Ye’er is afraid, Ye’er is so afraid….” The little guy was finally unable to hold it in anymore and he burst into tears, his hands gripped his mother’s clothes tightly and he buried himself in her arms and cried.
“Ye’er be good, Ye’er must be obedient. When Mother is not by your side, you must listen to Yangyang and you can’t throw tantrums.” She comforted the little guy in her arms as she cried: “You must remember, you have to find Feng Jiu and your eldest brother and the rest of them. Even if Father and Mother are no longer around, they will definitely take care of you well.”
“No, no, Ye’er only wants Mother and Father, only Mother and Father, woowoowoo…”
The little guy started crying in panic. He was afraid, afraid that his Mother would be like his Father who said he was going out to take a look but never came back. He was afraid that Father and Mother would bleed, he was afraid that they would fall to the ground and die like everybody else.
He didn’t want to be alone, he didn’t want to be left alone.
However, while he was crying inconsolably, he was rendered unconscious by Su Xi with a raise of her hand. Su Xi held her unconscious son in her arms and said to Yangyang: “Yangyang, remember, you must find Feng Jiu, Feng Xiao and the rest. There is another passage in this secret room. Take Ye’er through there later on. You can’t trust anyone, only Feng Jiu and Feng Xiao. Do you understand?”
