Princess, she is so fragrant

"You really let me down."

As the voice fell, there was a loud sound of the whip being thrown in the air, followed by the sound of skin and flesh cracking.Wei Zhao's body couldn't help shaking, and she didn't dare to turn her head, because blood would make her legs feel weak, and weak legs would make her feel weak.

In this deep palace, no one likes weak people.

Including Wei Zhao himself.

"Ah Xian." Her empress knelt down and put her hands on Wei Zhao's shoulders. She looked at her daughter with a smile on her lips, "Empress loves you, so I won't let you get hurt, but You made a mistake, someone has to bear it for you, right.”

The woman pressed Wei Zhao's shoulder and turned her backwards.Wei Zhao wanted to close her eyes, but she was more afraid of the mother in front of her than the fear in her heart.Her body was trembling, and under the steady palm of her empress, she was like a trembling, newly born, extremely fragile quail.

"Come on, let's watch." Her mother said, her voice was low and she didn't care. "She's not crying. Look at her eyes. She is a child full of vitality. She should be able to withstand beatings."

Wei Zhao stared blankly in front of him.The fiery red hair was mixed with blood, and I don't know if the color on it is all dyed by blood.But those eyes were only staring at Wei Zhao.

It is clearly a calm and gentle color, but Wei Zhao still sees a thriving life in it, going upwards and not admitting defeat.She is like a mirror, reflecting her own weakness.Wei Zhao felt that he should hate the child in front of him, because of her, Wei Zhao had to face the most unbearable and weakest emotion in his heart.But at that moment, what Wei Zhao clearly felt was another emotion.

so good.

she thinks.

She is not afraid of anything, and nothing can stop her from living desperately and going upwards desperately.

so good.

At that moment, she really wanted to live for a long time.

After a thud, Wei Zhao came back to her senses. She looked towards the river, only to see a black shadow flying towards her.Wei Zhao took a step back subconsciously, and the thing fell to her feet, shaking its head and tail, it was a whitebait, very fat.Wei Zhao was a little dazed, she hadn't recovered from those old memories.And that fish is obviously also a creature with extremely strong vitality.It swung vigorously, and a drop of water flew from its tail, covering Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao: "..."

What a bold thing!

"Hahahaha." The slave's laughter came over, unscrupulous.

Wei Zhao looked in the direction of the slave speechlessly.The slave was in the water, showing her collarbone. She smiled at Wei Zhao, narrowed her eyes slightly, and widened the corners of her mouth, revealing two rows of white teeth. With the face and collarbone down.

It's so out of shape...

Wei Zhao thought, but she couldn't help showing a little smile.

Very strange, why is she laughing?Wei Zhao thought, at a time like this, there are pursuers behind, the way forward is unclear, and the slave in front of him is a person who can't be soft or tough, who is she laughing at?

The slave came towards Wei Zhao from the water, she was still smiling and looked very happy: "This kind of fish is delicious, the meat is very thin, we are lucky."

Wei Zhao heard his own voice say, "Okay." The voice was relaxed and full of joy.

She suddenly remembered that laughing itself is a meaningless thing.

The slave lit a fire, and she busied herself by the stones, building a simple stove, and dug a small hole in the soil below to discharge the smoke.Apparently, her cooking skills have improved significantly.

Wei Zhao was watching from the side. The slave was dressed very simply, with the middle coat hanging loosely on her body, and the rest of the clothes were folded. She was squatting by the river, peeling the fish deftly.Wei Zhao smelled a faint smell of blood, but soon, the water vapor diluted the smell of blood, and finally there was no smell at all.

The tree branch for skewering fish was picked from one side. The slave peeled off the dirty bark, put the fish on the skewer, and flipped the two sides of the fish lightly.She took out a small bag, sprinkled a little salt, and the oil from the fish skin made a crackling sound, and it smelled delicious.

Gululu suddenly sounded.

The slave was taken aback, but Wei Zhao had already covered his stomach.She saw the slave looking at her, and raised the corner of his mouth, as if he was about to smile.Wei Zhao immediately ordered out of embarrassment: "You didn't hear anything!!"

The corner of the slave's mouth turned up completely against Wei Zhao's order, but her voice was submissive: "Of course, I didn't hear anything."

Wei Zhao pursed her lips, she wanted to say something, but she soon saw the slave looking into her eyes.Very beautiful green eyes, just a little bit of blue underneath.For a moment, Wei Zhao hesitated, and finally just covered his stomach, shrank aside, and said nothing.

Not long after, the fish was handed to Wei Zhao. Wei Zhao turned his head and saw the slave looking at him: "Eat it."

Wei Zhao hesitated, she looked at the fish and then at the slave.

The slave seemed to know what she was thinking, and grinned his white teeth: "I have dry food."

There is dry food, but it is not enough.Wei Zhao thought.

Manual laborers should supplement more food.And all along, the people who are on the road and the people who are tired of work are not Wei Zhao himself.Wei Zhao lowered her eyes, she tore off a piece, and then stretched out her hand to push: "I'm not hungry, this is enough."

The slave was silent, and Wei Zhao felt her eyes falling on him, like burning, which made her feel a strange feeling of torment.Wei Zhao pursed his lips, then raised his head abruptly, his black eyes were full of anger: "Bold! Who allowed you to disobey Bengong's order and look at Bengong! Go eat it right now!"

The slave showed a thoughtful expression, she really didn't take Wei Zhao's order very seriously.

Just as Wei Zhao's anger gradually spread and was about to erupt, the slave nodded, took the fish, turned his back to Wei Zhao and began to eat.

The other party obediently obeyed all of a sudden, which made Wei Zhao a little dazed.

But it’s fine to eat, why do you have to eat behind your back?

Wei Zhao glanced at the slave, and then at the slave again. She saw the interlaced whip marks under the thin jacket. After so many years, those marks were firmly engraved on the slave's body like tattoos. I can't wash it off either.

Finally, Wei Zhao lowered his head and slowly took a bite of the fish in his mouth.

Different from the skinny rabbit meat in the first night, the fat fell into Wei Zhao's mouth, with the aroma of fireworks and a little salty taste. When chewing carefully, there was still a trace of sweetness. The ones are delicious.

Both of them ate and drank enough, and both were a little tired.They didn't go too far, they found a nearby tree and climbed it.As usual, the slave climbed up first, and then pulled Wei Zhao up with a rope.Wei Zhao subconsciously found a comfortable position in the slave's arms and yawned.Then her head was gently rubbed, and the slave's voice rang in her ears.

"Go to sleep."

The anger of being randomly touched on the head did not overwhelm the drowsiness caused by this sentence, Wei Zhao almost obeyed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

When he woke up, Wei Zhao was a little confused.Instead of waking up normally, she was shaken awake by a slave.The natural caution of being a person in the deep palace made her tightly shut her mouth at that moment.She looked up at the slaves, the drowsy weather, the surrounding darkness, they were very close, close enough to hear each other's breath, and close enough to see each other's fine outline.

Wei Zhao saw the slave pointing to her ear, Wei Zhao was a little puzzled, but soon, she heard the voice.

It was the sound of a dog barking, coming from far away, with the unique echo of the mountains and forests, some distance away from here.

Wei Zhao turned her head, and she saw a subtle firelight among the dense leaves, and there were not only one firelight, but several.

They were found!The other party must have confirmed their direction, so that there will be a large army gathering.

Wei Zhao felt her hairs stand on end and her back became stiff. She clenched her teeth tightly, and she could feel their teeth trembling slightly.

Warm palms pressed against her back.

At that moment, Wei Zhao even felt a warm current from the person behind him into his body.She heard the slave in her ear, and lowered her voice: "I will go down first and lead them to the other direction. You escape by yourself. I will give you all the necessities of life."

Perhaps the slave was prepared not to return.

The slave paused for a moment, and suddenly seemed to have a little smile, but his voice was unusually calm: "A torch has a limited range of light, and they will not exceed 15 people, and I may not necessarily die."

Maybe she said that just to comfort herself.

Wei Zhao couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts, and she didn't even know why she had such complicated thoughts.She raised her eyes to look at the slave. The slave's green eyes were not obvious in the dark night. From this look, they seemed to be black, the same black as herself.

What is the difference between a slave and a master?

Wei Zhao knew that she shouldn't think about these things at this time, and should let the slaves leave as soon as possible to ensure her own safety, but she couldn't help it.She knew that she always loved to think wildly. When she was young, she was told so by her mother.

At that time, her mother pressed her shoulders and let her watch the whip fall on the back of the vigorous girl.They looked at those eyes, and her mother said in her ear: "She always reminds me of you when you were young. If you didn't have such eyes when you were just born, you would have died a long time ago. Ah Xian, you really let me I'm disappointed. So let her take your place now."

Replacing Wei Zhao.

To suffer, to be tortured, or one day, to die.

Wei Zhao pressed the slave's hand all at once, and she saw the astonishment flashing through the slave's eyes.She felt her lips were dry and thirsty, as if a flame was burning in her body, quickly transpiring her moisture.

"let's go together."

Before the slave could retort, Wei Zhao licked his chapped lips and said the next sentence.

"I couldn't have survived without you."
