The Mo Kingdom started from Rongcheng in the west, to Luan County in the east, to Baling in the north, to Qiongzhou in the south, and was located south of Changhe River. However, the people living in the Mo Dynasty did not call Changhe River but Mohe River. They used Mohe River as the boundary, and

Wan and Qi were separated. For many years, wars between the three kingdoms continued. In the thirty-fifth year of Hongdao, the Mo Kingdom signed an alliance with Wan Guo to jointly resist the Qi Kingdom. In addition, Emperor Hongdao's wise governance allowed the people of the Mo Kingdom to live and work in peace and contentment.

"Your Majesty's Oral Order! The Crown Prince and his Minister of War, Sun Zhicai, intend to rebel! I have thought about it for a long time and have decided that the Crown Prince has rebelled and is guilty of the same crime as the common people, so he should be executed immediately! His general, Han Zhuo, confiscated his family property and his whole family was exiled! Sun Zhicai, the Minister of War, has been loyal to Mo for many years.

, From now on, the post of Minister of the Ministry of War will be removed and changed to Editor of the Hanlin Academy. From now on, the Crown Princess will be expelled from the palace and imprisoned outside the palace in the palace. She will never leave the palace and visit her family. I admire this!"

"Father! Listen to your explanation. I was wronged!"

On this day, there was darkness in the sky, thunder spread all over the north and south of the river, and amid the sporadic rain, Prince Chen Jinghuai's cries of injustice were pitiful, but no one was willing to listen to his explanation.

General Han on the side said nothing, his head was placed motionless on the guillotine, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be ready for execution.

In the end, the two still could not escape the ruthless sharp machete.

The wronged Crown Princess Sun Yan and the Minister of War Sun Zhicai knelt in the Yongshou Hall for a whole day. In the wind and rain, the weak Crown Princess Sun Yan fainted, but the upright Emperor Hongdao showed no mercy.

Pass.

Later, Sun Yan was forced to leave the palace and live in the dilapidated and disrepaired Prince Cheng's Mansion. As Sun Yan's father, Sun Zhicai had to serve as a small editor of the Hanlin Academy.

These were still firmly remembered by Sun Yan. Tears fell down her face as she recalled them, but she seemed to have forgotten that she was still delivering a baby.

"Harder! Harder! Quick! It's coming out soon!"

The person delivering the baby next to her was Aunt Zhang from the Sun Mansion. She had her hair tied up in a bun, and there were already a few white hairs growing on her black hair.

"Master! Try harder!" Sun Yan's slave Guihua encouraged him from the side.

Sun Yan, who was lying on the bed, seemed to be still recalling the events of that year in her mind, and today was a few days after the death of Emperor Hongdao.

"Miss, please push harder, it will be fine soon. Just hold on."

This sound of words like a wet nurse brought Sun Yan back to her senses.

There is now a little snow on the gate of Prince Cheng's Mansion. The two once elegant gates are now standing upside down on the ground, much decayed. The courtyard is covered with a thin layer of snow, and there are no other potted plants around. One of them is not big.

The house stands in front, surrounded by bundles of firewood leaning against the wall. It doesn't look like a royal palace at all, but more like a residence for poor people.

After a moment of loud sounds of exertion, the baby's cry finally started!

"Miss, it's happening, it's happening, it's a boy, it's a boy." Nanny shouted with a smile.

The slaves Guihua on the side happily congratulated their master Sun Yan, but the master couldn't be happy.

If she still had the title of Crown Princess, perhaps this child might become the emperor in the future, but now she is a commoner with no title and cannot even meet her own parents.

As she thought about it, Sun Yan shed tears again.

Inside the house, there was only a simple wooden bed with thatch and firewood placed around it. There was a fire in the house and nothing else.

"You hold the child in your arms and quickly meet Mr. Sun outside the city gate. I'll help the eldest lady and I'll be here right away." After giving the instructions, grandma directly handed the child to Sun Yan's slave Guihua.

After Osmanthus took it, she looked at the master who was sweating profusely in front of her with her little eyes. She just held the child and was about to go out of the city gate.

Before I walked a few steps, I was stopped by my grandma.

"Wait a minute." After saying that, Grandma Zhang put the basket she brought with her on the ground. After taking the child, she put it in the basket and carefully covered it with a blanket. Everything was done.

back,

Aunt Zhang just picked up the bag and hurriedly put it on Sun Yan's maid, not forgetting to tell her: "Remember, when you pass the city gate later, treat him as your child. As long as you don't panic, no one will doubt you."

of."

After hearing this, Osmanthus fragrans nodded, picked up the osmanthus and walked out.

Sun Yan's red eyes watched the slave Guihua take her child away, and then she looked at Aunt Zhang.

"Miss, let's leave quickly. It will be too late if people find out later." Nanny Zhang urged.

Listening to Grandma Zhang's words, Sun Yan shook her head with tears in her eyes and started talking.

Perhaps because her vitality was severely weakened, Grandma Zhang could not hear a single word of what Sun Yan said.

"Miss." Nanny Zhang hurriedly came forward and listened beside Sun Yan.

"I...can't...leave, you go and...rendezvous." Sun Yan said in a weak voice.

"No! Miss! The master has told me that you must go together to meet up. If you don't go, this... this old slave will not be able to handle it." Nanny Zhang advised.

Sun Yan shook her head: "You... light... this fire, and leave quickly. Don't... bother... me." After saying that, Sun Yan used her own weak strength to push up Nanny Zhang, but failed.

.

Aunt Zhang knew Sun Yan's stubbornness and looked at the thin Sun Yan on the bed with a pair of pitying eyes.

Sun Yan nodded again, but couldn't say anything.

Nanny Zhang cautiously walked towards the fire, bent down slightly, picked up a burning torch, looked at the simple room, and then looked at the eldest daughter of the Sun family who was lying weakly on the bed, suddenly

More hesitant.

"Miss, I can't do this. If you don't want to leave, you don't have to do this. Let's escape to the people and live quietly." Aunt Zhang said again.

Listening to Nanny Zhang's words, Sun Yan had already had beautiful fantasies about Wuyou. However, facing a bunch of treacherous ministers and the Wuyou of the Sun family, Sun Yan still refused: "No."

Nanny Zhang stood next to Sun Yan and said: "Miss, people are still useful in this world. You must not do this. If the master and missus find out, they will be very sad."

Sun Yan shook her head and said weakly: "Aunt Zhang... you are a servant... you don't understand... Our Sun family, the prince was killed... Our Sun family will not be easy, and my father has been demoted... It is inevitable to feel sorry in the court. I

Ah...it's better to end it as soon as possible...this way we can protect our Sun family. If the child's matter...is known to others...no one in our Sun family can escape."

After saying that, Sun Yan looked at the torch in Nanny Zhang's hand, used all her strength, and swatted it with one hand. The unsteady torch flew out of Nanny Zhang's hand and hit the thatch pile in the corner of the house.

The flames instantly ignited the thatch pile and soon began to burn towards the firewood pile. Grandma Zhang wanted to put out the fire in a hurry, but was held tightly by Sun Yan.

"Miss, please let go. If you are like this, I will not be able to explain to the master and my wife." Aunt Zhang said.

"No...Mom, promise me...leave here quickly and don't save me. If you don't agree, I will hold you tightly and neither of us can get out." Sun Yan begged.

Watching the fires start to burn unbridled, a beam in the house fell down, hit the bed hard, pressed down on Sun Yan's legs, and started to burn.

Seeing that it was almost impossible to get out, Grandma Zhang suddenly didn't know what to do, so she had to agree to Sun Yan's request: "Okay, okay, I agree, I agree."

"If there is a chance, let my child avenge the prince... in the future!" After saying that, Sun Yan passed out.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger. It was difficult for Nanny Zhang to put out the fire by herself, so she had no choice but to rush out according to Sun Yan's request and hurried out of the city gate.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, quickly alarming the people nearby.

"It's gone! It's gone!"

One by one, the people got out of bed in the dark,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

They all took their own gourds, wooden buckets, etc., filled them with water and poured them into Prince Cheng's Mansion...

Outside the city gate, Sun Yan's maid Gui Hua has arrived at the meeting point.

"Where are Nanny Zhang and Yan'er?" Sun Zhicai, the master of the Sun Mansion, asked in a panic.

"You should be on the way back to Mr. Sun," Guihua said.

After hearing this, Sun Zhicai breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the child Guihua was carrying, and whispered: "Boy or girl?"

"Boy." Osmanthus said with a smile.

"Good boy, good."

Sun Zhicai said happily, until Nanny Zhang appeared, Sun Zhicai's expression immediately changed.

"Mother Zhang, where is Yan'er?" Sun Zhicai asked anxiously.

"Miss, she..." Nanny Zhang wiped her tears and did not dare to say any more.

"She...what happened to her?" Sun Zhicai asked again.

"The eldest lady was afraid that she would cause trouble to our Sun family, so... she set fire to Prince Cheng's Mansion. The eldest lady... couldn't... come out."

After listening, Guihua and Sun Chunxu, the third son of the Sun family, shed tears.

Sun Zhicai looked at the dark Yanyang City with a pair of red eyes. Tears suddenly fell down and he muttered to himself: "Yan'er, why...why are you so stupid?"

After a while, Sun Zhicai hurriedly put away his tears and looked at his sons, Aunt Zhang and Osmanthus: "It's getting late. It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time."

Then, he looked at Sun Chunxu: "From today on, take your sister's child and go to Tongzhou immediately to live in seclusion. If you are able in the future, you must take your child to avenge the prince."

"Okay, dad, I remember," Sun Chunxu said.

Sun Zhicai hurriedly took out a bag of silver coins and handed it to Sun Chunxu: "Here are some coins. When we get there, we will buy some things and live in seclusion. Don't mention this child's identity to anyone."

After Sun Chunxu took the hefty silver coins, he replied: "Okay, Dad, we're going to leave now."

"Nanny Zhang, you go with us. Chunxu doesn't know how to take care of children, so you can take care of him. After that, our Sun family will definitely be in need of your silver." Sun Zhicai said.

Aunt Zhang nodded: "Okay, Master."

After saying that, several people got into the carriage with their children in their arms, and Sun Chunxu drove off in the carriage, heading towards Tongzhou...

"Our daughter is gone?" Mrs. He looked at Sun Zhicai with a face of disbelief.
