Chapter 467: Soul Separation (3)
Princess Anping was startled back to her senses by the familiar voice. She looked up in panic, but only caught a glimpse of the edge of a pink dress. The young man who saved her had disappeared from her sight.
At this moment, she had no time to care about many things. She struggled to get up and staggered towards the door.
The scorching autumn sun suddenly shone all over her body, and the dazzling light made her squint again.
When she opened her eyes again and looked outside, she found that the courtyard of the nunnery was in a mess. The thieves disguised as nuns were lying on the cold ground, dead.
The remnants, including Luo Lezhi, were tied up with ropes and had no power to fight back.
As her eyes wandered vaguely, she saw the young man who had kicked the door just now. At this moment, he was bending down and carefully picking up the little girl, while her maid "Yuan'er" was holding a bowl and blowing on it.
The continuous scenes before her made her feel as if she were in a dream, which was unbelievable.
At this moment, a small figure rushed towards her with a crying voice. The huge force made her unstable body fall to the ground with a crisp sound.
The little kid didn't notice anything unusual, and when he saw this, he threw himself on her again, breaking down in tears and crying, "Cousin, what should I do? My eldest brother is rebelling."
The noise immediately attracted everyone's attention. Xiao Shunzi was suddenly frightened, screamed, and hurried over to save Princess Anping.
Little Yining leaned listlessly in the arms of his fellow villager, looking at the chaotic scene, and asked softly, "Uncle, why didn't you untie the rope for Aunt Anping?"
Pei Yi only glanced at the fallen woman calmly, and replied with two words in a calm tone: "Forgot."
"Oh." Xiao Yining didn't say anything else and returned his gaze to the bowl of boiling medicine.
The little kid's listless appearance made the young man's heart ache. He couldn't help but ask Xiang Sizi, "Will Sister Qing feel better after drinking this bowl of medicine?"
Xiangsizi had a sullen face and nodded slightly, "After taking the medicine and sweating, she will recover after a few days of careful care. She is really lucky, unlike Princess Anping, who will have to lie on the bed for several months."
When the two kids heard this, they looked up at the fake woman in front of them in confusion.
Then, they heard Xiao Shunzi's panicked voice again: "Second Prince, please get up quickly. You broke the princess' bones."
Two little ones: ...
Xiao Yining couldn't help but turn her gaze towards the unfortunate Princess Anping.
I thought I could be the person in charge after rescuing her, but now, she has been a burden from beginning to end. Could it be that she is going for the silly beauty route? This is not what the book describes!
Speechless, the kid could only look up at his fellow villager, then sighed like a little adult and said with emotion: "Uncle, you are still reliable!"
Pei Yi was not at all happy when the little kid praised him. He just felt that the pressure on him increased.
However, he still had a smile on his face, and coaxed the little kid in a gentle voice, "Of course, with your cousin accompanying Sister Qing, you don't have to be afraid of the disaster that Wang Gungun mentioned."
"Yes, my uncle is the best!" the kid replied in a supportive manner.
The laughter of the two people, as if they had survived a disaster, reached Wang Gungun's ears word for word. He opened his mouth with a complicated expression, wanting to say something, but finally chose to keep silent and drink the anti-cold medicine in silence.
At this seemingly chaotic and peaceful time, a deafening noise suddenly came from the clear sky without any warning, accompanied by a feeling of earth-shaking, which made everyone's face change suddenly.
Hearing this strangely familiar sound, Xiao Yining's somewhat confused mind suddenly woke up. She suddenly straightened up, grabbed the fellow villager's sleeve and asked, "Uncle, was that sound just now made by explosives?"
Pei Yi also had a solemn look on his face. He frowned and looked in the direction where the loud noise came from. Almost subconsciously, he walked towards the temple gate to see what was going on.
At this moment, the medicine bowl in Wang Gungun's hand suddenly fell to the ground, making a crisp sound. He hurriedly stopped the young man and shouted anxiously: "Boss, don't take Qingjie to see it, something bad will happen."
Pei Yi was stunned when he heard this and stopped abruptly. He lowered his eyes to glance at Xiao Yining's pale face, then met her confused gaze, and suddenly an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Then, he glared at the little boy with anger in his eyes, like a sharp blade: "Wang GunGun, even now, you still refuse to change your bad habits."
Wang Gungun shrank back, but still stubbornly opened his arms and said in a trembling voice: "Boss, you believe me."
Seeing this, the young man, although he had doubts in his heart, could only walk back with caution.
However, just as he turned around, Sheng Hongtong quickly passed him and ran out of the nunnery in the blink of an eye. He looked around anxiously and checked the situation.
Although Ganlu Temple is located halfway up the mountain, it has a wide view around it and can take in the distant scenery.
In just a moment, Sheng Hongtong's face lost all color, revealing a look of extreme fear. He stared blankly into the distance, where a thick black smoke was rising continuously.
Through the thick smoke, broken walls and ruins could be vaguely seen. The originally magnificent palace was now half buried in the sea of fire.
He opened his mouth slightly in disbelief, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he could not make any sound. After a long time, he finally uttered a sorrowful cry: "Father..."
When Xiao Yining heard the call, she turned around and looked at Sheng Hongtong in disbelief. As smart as she was, she immediately realized what the sound just now meant.
The little kid couldn't help but think of his mother's reluctant face, and his body began to tremble involuntarily. He hurriedly said to the fellow villager: "Uncle, take me out to see if something happened in the palace?"
However, the boy, who used to be very obedient to the little boy, acted as if he didn't hear anything and walked deeper into the nunnery. He even covered the little boy's ears with his hands in an attempt to block out all sounds.
Unfortunately, all these are in vain.
At this time, Xiang Sizi also arrived at the entrance of the nunnery to join in the fun and exclaimed, "Oh my God, the palace was blown up."
Pei Yi's steps suddenly stopped because of these words. He looked at the fragile baby in his arms in panic, and saw that the vitality in her eyes seemed to be sucked away, and turned to deathly gray in an instant, and her small body gradually lost strength and fell softly in his arms.
The young man cried out in sorrow: "Sister Qing..."
