Late at night, the rowboat was quietly parked on the water, swaying slightly with the waves. The surroundings were pitch black, with only a little light from the moonlight.

Xiao Yi's consciousness gradually returned. Because he had just woken up, his eyes were confused for a moment. It was not until he found himself lying on this ship that inexplicably appeared here that he gradually remembered what happened before he fell into a coma.

He seemed to be rescued, he thought.

He remembered that before he lost consciousness, he seemed to see a person as white as jade, directing the man in front to drag him, his mother and Yuan'er up.

By the way, where are his mother and Yuaner!

Xiao Yi sat up with a start. The noise was so loud that even Ruyi, who was in charge of watching over them today, was startled. It was too dark and he couldn't see the situation in the cabin.

Just as he was struggling to stand up, Ruyi reacted and stopped him: "Keep the noise down! Don't disturb everyone's sleep."

"Where is this? Where are my mother and my brother?" Xiao Yi asked after hearing Ruyi's voice. His voice was still a little hoarse because he had just woken up.

Ruyi was still a little slow to stop him, and Xiao Yi's actions still woke up other people who were sleeping uneasily in the wild.

Shi Anan took out a tinder and lit the candle on the table.

Only then did I realize that among the people who had been sleeping during the day, the handsome man had woken up.

"Miss, I'm sorry for waking you up." Ruyi said apologetically when she saw Shi Anan wake up. It was a rare opportunity for the young lady to rest and she was woken up.

"It's okay." Shi Anan said to Ruyi.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Xiao Yi pursed his lips, and with the help of the light, he also found his mother and brother lying beside him and sleeping.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that they were probably just asleep and not injured.

Shi Anan watched his reaction with interest. This man hadn't spoken a word since he woke up except for asking about his mother and brother. Didn't he worry that they were bad people?

"Hey, that little cutie...Oh, what's your name?" Shi Anan didn't know how to address him and accidentally called out the name in her mind.

Xiao Piaoliang is really pretty, especially after waking up, she looks even more vivid.

Xiao Yi looked at the jade-like person in confusion. She must be the one who asked people to rescue them. But, was Xiao Piaoliang calling him?

Seeing that Xiao Yi didn't respond, Shi Anan asked uncertainly: "Did you hear me?"

Xiao Yi quickly came back to his senses, and with some discomfort in front of strangers, he replied in a tense voice: "My name is Xiao Yi."

"Xiao Yi?! Could you be the prince of Weiguo, Xiao Yi?" Fu Xin woke up and heard their conversation, and asked in surprise.

The Duke of Wei's surname is Xiao. He has only one wife and two sons. The eldest son, Xiao Yi, is seventeen years old this year. He is named the crown prince. He has a very good-looking appearance but does not like to go out to see people. He has a strange temper and loves some craftsmen's toys.

My youngest son, Xiao Yuan, is six years old this year. Because he is too young, he has met very few people.

Looking at the three people who were rescued, their ages and appearances almost match, even the prince’s name matches, could it be such a coincidence?

But haven’t they been exiled since Duke Weiguo was beheaded more than a month ago? Why are they here?

Shi Anan was also surprised when she heard Fu Xin's question.

More than a month ago, when Duke Weiguo was beheaded, his family was also exiled. At that time, Shi Anan was busy practicing her cooking skills. It was only after she heard Fu Xin talk about it that she sighed and never took it to heart again after the fall of a great hero.

After all, the family of Duke Weiguo was to be exiled to Lingnan, which was very far away from the capital, and they might never see the people and things in the capital again in their entire lives.

In addition, Duke Weiguo had no connection with their family. Although they were neighbors, they had never interacted with each other. So when something happened to Duke Weiguo's family, the Shi family just played the role of a spectator.

If you have to say it has something to do with it, um, does stealing things from someone's warehouse count? Shi Anan's eyes wandered guiltily for a while, how could she know that she might meet a creditor.

When Xiao Yi heard Fu Xin mention this term, he said calmly, "There is no Prince of the Duke of Wei anymore."

If it weren't for this honor, his father wouldn't have died.

Although his father told him that he just needed to take good care of his mother and brother and live a good life, he still went on with the idea of ​​clearing his father's grievances.

His father had guarded the Tianqi Dynasty for decades and had nearly lost his life on the battlefield many times, but Emperor Tai'an wanted to kill his father because of a remark that his father was too successful.

Not only that, he also accused his father of such an outrageous crime of treason, making him despised by people all over the world. Such a monarch was the one his father had been loyal to all his life. It was really ridiculous!

That’s right, with the power of the Duke of Weiguo, the only person who could make him willingly die with such a crime was the emperor of the time.

If the king wants his subjects to die, they have to die. Ever since he became the patron saint in the hearts of all the people of Apocalypse, he knew that this day would come. The majesty of the royal family does not allow for provocation.

After all, even the emperor was not worshipped as a patron saint by the people, so how could a small general like you deserve such an honor? He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, this is the truth that every emperor has learned since childhood. Even if you know that the Duke of Wei is loyal, so what? The human heart is hard to predict, let alone the heart of the monarch.

The only thing the Duke of Wei could do was to plead guilty and save his wife and children.

Because of the injustice suffered by his father, Xiao Yi has always harbored resentment towards Emperor Tai'an. However, he did not expect that such a great disaster would happen to the Tianqi Dynasty after his father's death. It is not easy for everyone to survive. Can he still live to avenge his father?

Xiao Yi looked lost and confused for a moment.

Perhaps because she couldn't bear to see Xiao Piaoliang showing such a lifeless expression, Shi An'an thought for a moment and comforted her: "Well, Fu Xin didn't mean anything else, I was just a little surprised to hear your name. Even if the Duke of Weiguo really committed treason, it doesn't matter. After all, what he did has nothing to do with you. Anyway, the world is like this now, and Emperor Tai'an is gone, we don't mind your identity."

"My father did not commit treason!" Xiao Yi retorted angrily.

After a while, he asked uncertainly, "You said Emperor Tai'an is gone?"

"Okay, okay, your father didn't commit treason, and I don't know what your family situation is like." Shi Anan muttered, and continued:

"I heard before that the emperor has become Emperor Yongchang. We don't know who Emperor Yongchang is, but since there has been a new emperor, the previous emperor must have died due to the disaster. And given the current situation, who cares whether the emperor is dead or not?"

Shi Anan didn't have much sense of the imperial power of this era. She was just the concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official in the capital, and she couldn't normally come into contact with that level of people. Now that the end of the world had come, it was even more impossible for her to do so.

Hearing that Emperor Tai'an was dead, Xiao Yi said with a hint of sarcasm: "This is really retribution."

It’s just a pity that Emperor Tai’an died and he couldn’t take revenge personally.

From now on, I will follow my father's wishes and live a good life with my mother and brother.

After figuring it out, Xiao Yi's depression dissipated a little, and he looked more energetic.

It turns out that Xiao Piaoliang is prettier when she is lively! Shi Anan thought secretly.

After a while, Xiao Yi's mother and brother woke up one after another. When they learned that it was Shi Anan who saved them, they thanked her politely.

Xiao Yi's mother, Lady Ruan, was originally the daughter of a trusted general under the Duke of Weiguo. As the Duke of Weiguo became famous at a young age, and Lady Ruan was also the daughter of a general, a woman who was as capable as any man, the two of them got to know each other through fighting.

Later, because Nguyen's father died on the battlefield, Duke Weiguo was entrusted by Nguyen's father to take good care of Nguyen. After spending a long time together, the two fell in love with each other and got married. Over the years, the couple has always had a deep relationship.

Ruan looked delicate and pretty, but she came from a family of military generals and had a bold and tough personality since childhood. She was heartbroken when Duke Weiguo was executed and wanted to commit suicide with her husband several times, but she cheered herself up for the sake of her two children.

As for the little brat Xiao Yuan, he was much more lively than his brother and had become very familiar with Shi Chengze.

Although Shi Chengze is already twelve years old, he has always been spoiled by Aunt Bai and has some childish nature. Although he has become sensible after some changes these days, his nature is still innocent, so it is not surprising that Xiao Yuan can play with him.

Moreover, he was the youngest in the Shi family before. Now he can finally enjoy the feeling of being an older brother, and this younger brother is sweet-mouthed and well-behaved. Shi Chengze is very satisfied.
