The eldest brother has been dead for so long that she almost forgot about him.

She didn't go there on purpose, she just didn't dare to remember it.

At that time, the eldest brother failed to pass the exam three times in a row. During the Jinshi year, he went to Beijing to take the exam as usual, but once he went there, he never came back.

At that time, there were dozens of palace ladies in the capital who couldn't stand the current emperor's flight. His eldest brother just met the fleeing palace ladies and gave them a meal, so he was arrested without explanation and beaten to death in prison.

He was beaten to a bloody pulp and looked completely human.

And in that scene where the palace maids escaped, there was more than one person who died innocently?

Whether it was the palace maids who were captured or the passers-by who helped out with even a meal or porridge on the road, all those who were found were executed.

Those who obey me will prosper, those who go against me will perish. The new king will kill and show his power.

Thinking about the past, He trembled, covered her face and cried.

Qin Shen stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands. No one in the entire courtyard made a sound, everyone could only listen to the hoarse words of the old man in the room.

The old gentleman stopped beating his niece, and his voice gradually gained strength.

"The emperor's throne is not right, and it is the source of all evil. A benevolent monarch like the former prince, but he is always beating and killing criminals. How can it not be embarrassing?"

As the old gentleman spoke, his cloudy eyes gathered a little strength.

"We are just saying a few fair words for the former prince, what does that mean? Do you know that the prince's personal guard Ye Zhichen, even if he escapes, will run for the former prince, just hoping to arouse people with lofty ideals to rise up. It's a pity.

In the end, he was captured and brought back to the capital. The tyrant was so hurt by Ye Zhichen's trip that he hung him on the Meridian Gate and cut him three times a day to stop the blood dripping on the city gate from drying up. He continued to cut him every day, continuously.

He refuses to let go of people even after they die, until the white bones are exposed and there is no flesh and blood anymore.”

The sun was shrouded by thick clouds, and a cold wind blew up from the flat ground in the courtyard.

Qin Shen raised his head and looked at the blocked sunlight, his hands clenched silently, his face as heavy as water.

But at this moment, the old gentleman laughed twice as if he was crying.

"I have no son or grandson. What does Ye Zhichen have? He doesn't even have a drop of blood left in the world."

After saying that, the old gentleman burst into tears.

Qin Shen stood with his hands behind his hands and was startled for a moment. A thin figure could not help but appear in front of his eyes.

She stood in the crowd, but seemed to be excluded from the crowd.

That day, she stood blankly at the back of the crowd, carrying a large cloth cushion that was not commensurate with her body shape.

No one accepted her, she pursed her lips and quietly looked for where she was going, but she never found it.

Until I noticed his appearance, I was frightened when I saw him. As if I was afraid of making him unhappy, I quickly disappeared from his eyes without saying a word, turned around and hid in the crowd.

Ye Zhichen and Lu Wanying have both been martyred. She is an orphan who lost her parents and her mother. There is no one else in this world who is connected by blood.

She is the only one left in the world.

She didn't know her true identity at all, but she seemed to know that she had nowhere to go, and she quietly never asked for anything.

Her only little desire was brought to Qin Shen's hand with both hands when they met for the first time, but he didn't even look at it.

After that, she never forced it, only avoided it.

Qin Shen closed his eyes.

Uncontrollable crying broke out inside and outside the hospital, and people kept gathering around, supporting each other and crying.

Qin Shen turned around, walked slowly in the opposite direction, and left the courtyard filled with people.

Fu Wen came back to report, saying that guards had been placed hundreds of miles in and out of the village, and these people could stay here temporarily. However, Xing Landong's people were sent away from the mountain using a message from Huang Ling's cousin Wu Liang, and they were completely trapped in the crowd.

In the mountains, it will never come out again.

After Fu Wen finished speaking, he saw a tired look on his young master's face.

"Everything is safe, Young Master, do you want to go back home?"

The young master did not respond immediately. He looked at the sobbing crowd gathered in the old gentleman's courtyard. After a few breaths, he spoke.

His voice was soft, and Fu Wen felt as if he was hearing such words from the young master for the first time.

"Go to the academy."
