thick smoke.

Soaring fire.

There was no one on the street, except for a boy of twelve or thirteen who stood blankly beside the overturned vegetable stall, looking up at the burning mansion not far away.

The word Li Fu on the plaque hanging on the gate of the mansion has been blurred, and the stone road inside the gate has already been stained dark red by the blood of the servants. Porcelain and calligraphy and painting.The young man's eyes wandered, he looked at his immature hands, and then looked up at the plaque on the door. Before he could withdraw his thoughts, his legs had already led him across the body of the servant at the door, urging him step by step to get closer to the wailing door. where the sound resounds.

He shouldn't go forward, and he shouldn't be here.

Ji Wenyuan always thought that there would be nothing in the world that would truly frighten him.

It had been a long time since he had this feeling of weak calves and cold sweat. He knew that this was just a dream, but his chest was tight due to fear, and he almost fainted.He has reached the crown a long time ago, but in this dream he still looks like a teenager.Hearing the begging voice of the woman in the back room, Ji Wenyuan habitually wanted to draw out his dagger, but when he touched it, he realized that there was nothing on his waist except the jade pendant given by his grandmother.

This is Loei Mansion, it is the Loei Mansion that is being engulfed in flames.Ji Wenyuan tripped over the stump under his feet, and it took him a while to regain his composure and continue walking forward.If this was a dream, how could it be so real, so real that he could touch the carvings on the railing with his hand, so real that when he stepped on the puddle of blood, he could clearly feel the stickiness under his feet.He hadn't been to Li Mansion that day, and he hasn't been there since. How could he have such a deep impression on Li Mansion when he was executed ten years ago?

Since it was the Li Mansion ten years ago, doesn't that mean that in his dream, A'an was not taken in by the Ji Mansion, and was still in a certain corner of the Li Mansion?

Ji Wenyuan's heart skipped a beat, and gradually he was able to control his direction according to the thoughts in his heart. He walked from the main hall to the side room, followed the bloodstains along the way, and saw the blood-stained and tear-stained bedroom in Prime Minister Li Yu's bedroom. With rouge on her face and a big hole in her forehead, Mrs. Li was as angry as a gossamer, but she was barely alive.The begging that Ji Wenyuan heard just now was Madam Li's personal maid pleading for Madam with her last breath before she died.

Madam Li... Madam Li was still alive afterward?No, no, the court clearly hung Prime Minister Li Yu and her heads on the city wall for a full month.

Ji Wenyuan stood beside Mrs. Li, wanted to save her, wanted to ask her where Li An was, but he seemed to be frozen by something, so he could only stand in place and could not move.About two minutes later, he heard someone shouting outside the door. A few tall soldiers walked into the door of the bedroom with long knives, and turned around the room a few times cursing. The leader's eyes finally stopped at On Mrs. Li, who still had her eyes open, she muttered why this girl is not dead yet, spat on the ground, and raised her knife to chop off her head.Ji Wenyuan was only a foot away from the leader's blade, and the blood that fell on his face was hot and scalding. He bit the tip of his tongue fiercely to keep himself awake and not be distracted by the bright red eyes.

These soldiers searched around a few more times, and when they were about to leave, the leader turned his head and glanced thoughtfully at Ji Wenyuan's position, then suddenly turned around and strode up to Ji Wenyuan, sneering triumphantly and ironically With a sound.

Ji Wenyuan was startled, wondering if the leader could see him, so he involuntarily leaned to the side. After standing still, he realized that the other person was not looking at him, but a suitcase under the mahogany bed.

The suitcase is not big, but it takes two people to pull it out from under the bed.There was a lock on the box. The leader took a fixed look, cut off the surrounding chains with a knife, and raised his hand to lift the wooden cover of the suitcase.

Inside are not Madam Li's gold, silver and jewelry, but only a few clothes, and——

A child shivering in his clothes, about ten years old.

The feeling of suffocation on Ji Wenyuan's chest became more and more intense, and he could barely breathe when the suitcase was opened.

Even though this face is still too immature at this time, he can still recognize who this child is.

How...how is it possible?Why is Ann here?

Ji Wenyuan couldn't move, so he could only force himself to tell himself that An'an would be fine, and that An'an lived a good life afterwards... These people will definitely not bear to do it because of An's young age, so that they can escape the catastrophe outside The nanny came back and took A'an to Jifu.

The ten-year-old child was still very thin, and the leader easily pulled the child out of the suitcase and threw it on the ground, stepping on the child's back without mercy.

"How to deal with this little evil?" After carefully confirming the identity of the child, the leader turned his head and asked the subordinates next to him.

"The Holy Majesty said that no one will be left alive." Someone replied, "Of course it is to cut the weeds and roots."

"This kid is only about ten years old, it's better to let him die..." A younger soldier in the middle couldn't see it, and persuaded in a low voice.

The leader squinted at the young soldier who couldn't bear it, and said with a smile: "This is also true. A child in his teens has no father and no mother. Anyone who can help him will go to hell. If he is released now, he may not be able to live." go down."

The young soldier thought that the leader was tacitly acquiescing to release him, so he quickly answered: "He is so young, he will not remember this when he grows up..."

When he said this, the young soldier himself felt that he had said something wrong. Children in their teens already had their own minds. How could they forget such important events as the destruction of their homes? can afford this responsibility.The leader didn't get angry at the soldier's recklessness. Instead, he bent down with a smile and pulled the child up again, and dragged the child out of the bedroom by his collar.

Ji Wenyuan's mind was unsteady, and his body was uncontrollably following the leader until he walked to the backyard of Li Mansion.

Before the Li Mansion was destroyed, he used to play Cuju with Li An here. When Ji Wenyuan came here, he saw that the paper kite that had been accidentally hung on the old tree in the backyard was still in place, and there were fish in the pond. Compared with the front yard flooded with blood corpses, An Mi is so beautiful that it makes people feel uneasy.

He stopped three feet away from Ann, unable to take another half step forward.

Watching Ah An being thrown to the ground.

Watching others chop off An's legs.

Watching Ah'an grabbing the grass roots in the soil and struggling to get up.

Watching someone swing a knife and cut off Ah An's wrist.

The stump was thrown into the pool, and the red fish raised in the water swarmed up, devouring the scattered blood beads.

He saw the child whose limbs had been severed holding back tears and shouting hoarsely.

He thought that An was going to call his parents, endured the pain that was about to drown him, and carefully discerned An's mouth shape, only to suddenly find that these intermittent syllables were connected...

But it was his name.

"Your Majesty was so ruthless that he beheaded more than 500 people in the Li Mansion in one go."

"Where is this something decided by the Holy One? I will not hide it from you in private, you can't spread it. The matter of destroying the family is the hand of the crown prince."

"Prince?"

"The Holy Majesty has not been around for a few years. Where are the eunuchs in the court from? You said that the prime minister is not afraid of death, and he even submitted a memorial to ask for the removal of the crown prince. This will not destroy him or anyone else. This matter is unclear." Li foolishly counted it on to the Holy One... If the rest of the Li family really wanted to take revenge, it would have nothing to do with the crown prince, would it?"

"Interesting, interesting. Come, drink!"
