Snowy Chang'an Road

Pei Ying looked at the earthen wall not far away and said to the child: "Then can you take your sister there?"

"it is good."

Wei Shao had been standing a few meters away from Pei Ying, watching Pei Ying talking to three children, and then saw Pei Ying getting up and the children holding her hands and walking forward.

"Madam, what are you going to do?"

Pei Ying turned back to Wei Shao and said to him: "Your Highness, come here."

Wei Shao heard her call and walked towards her. Wei Shao was tall and had a serious expression. The child was so frightened that he grabbed Pei Ying's hand and hid behind her.

"Don't be afraid, he is my sister's husband."

The child glanced at Wei Shao secretly again. It was obvious that he still didn't understand what his husband meant in his little mind.

"What are you going to do?"

"This kid said there is a cannibal here, and I want to see it."

"Why are you interested in everything?"

"My pleasure."

Wei Shao followed a few people. He looked back at Cai Yu and waved to him, indicating that he didn't need to follow.

Pei Ying and the child were walking in front. She approached the wall and saw the person behind the wall clearly, so she turned around quickly.

"Wei Shao, don't come over."

Wei Shao was confused but did as he was told. He stopped in place and stopped moving forward.

"what happened?"

"This woman's clothes are torn."

Hearing this, Wei Shao couldn't help but step forward.

"Go get my cloak."

Wei Shao nodded, took the cloak and gave it to her.

Pei Ying asked the three children to wait outside the wall while she slowly approached the woman behind the wall.

I saw this woman's clothes in tatters, with the white snow on her chest clearly visible. Her hair was messy, and she was holding a cloth bundle in her arms. She was mumbling words and kept pushing the bundle towards her chest.

"girl."

Pei Ying called out tentatively. The woman was still immersed in her own world, lowering her head and talking to herself.

"girl."

Seeing that she still didn't respond, Pei Ying took a few steps forward and said, "This cloak is for you. It's cold, so put it on."

There was still no response. At this time, Pei Ying had already walked to her side, and she gently put her cloak on the woman's body.

Just as he was about to speak, who would have thought that the woman suddenly raised her head and smiled at him. Her face was covered with stains, and the smile was still a bit oozing at first glance.

In the past, Pei Ying would most likely have screamed in fright, but after following Wei Shao on the battlefield for more than a year, she was used to seeing all kinds of corpses, and now she was much more courageous than before.

"what's your name?"

The woman did not speak, but continued to lower her head and push the cloth bundle into her arms. This action was like a mother breastfeeding her child.

Seeing her crazy look, Pei Ying also realized that something was wrong, so she turned around and walked out.

"Children, you can't hit that sister with stones in the future. She is very pitiful and you can't bully her."

The child looked at Pei Ying in confusion and retorted: "But mother said, if we don't beat her, she will come and eat us."

"Your mother is talking nonsense. This sister is also a human. People don't eat people. Remember?"

The child opened his round eyes and nodded in understanding.

At this moment, a roar came from not far away. When the children heard the roar, they were visibly panicked.

Following the sound, a woman wearing coarse cloth was running towards this side. Cai Yu stopped in front of the woman.

"How dare you, the King of Peking and his concubine are here, how can they allow you, a village woman, to disturb them."

The village woman saw Cai Yu's face clearly, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master Cai, please forgive me. The common woman was ignorant and bumped into you, please forgive me."

"Okay, get up. If that's your child, take it away quickly."

"Yes."

After the woman saw Cai Yu, her fear was visible to the naked eye, and she ran all the way to Pei Ying's side. When passing by Wei Shao, she even saluted in a panic.

"Mother."

Children don't understand the things between adults. When they see their mother approaching, they rush towards her.

"Princess, I forgive you. The child is young and doesn't understand the rules, so he offended the noble."

Pei Ying saw her nervousness and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, your child is very cute, I like it very much, but there is something I don't understand and I want to ask you for advice."

"Princess, please tell me."

"This woman is obviously crazy. Why did you tell the child that she can eat people and let the child hit her with stones? Aren't you afraid that the woman will suddenly go crazy and attack the child?"

"This"

The woman was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Why is this woman going crazy?"

The woman's face became even more ugly. She quickly knelt down and said in a pleading tone: "Princess, I don't know anything. Please be noble and spare our lives."

Seeing her like this, Pei Ying couldn't say anything else. She couldn't let her have a reputation of making things difficult for the people.

"You go."

The woman was grateful and grabbed the child and fled quickly.

There are so many poor people in this world, and Pei Ying is not the Holy Mother, so how can she care about them.

"Wei Shao, let's go."

But as soon as Pei Ying took two steps, she saw Wei Shao's face, which was looking at her, suddenly turned away.

She glanced back in confusion, not knowing when this woman came out. Now she was standing next to the earthen wall. Even though she was covered by a cloak, her chest was still looming white.

But the moment Wei Shao turned around, he saw Cai Yu's face full of tension. Although it passed by in a flash, Wei Shao still keenly captured it.

The woman didn't speak. She walked forward in a daze, passed by Pei Ying, passed by Wei Shao, and then ran towards Cai Yu like crazy.

Before the two soldiers could react, the woman had already stretched out her long nails covered with dirt, leaving three bloody marks on Cai Yu's face.

Of course, Cai Yu was not polite. He slapped the woman back, then kicked her to the ground. Upon seeing this, two soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and held the woman down.

"Bitch, you dare to beat the imperial official. I think you have had enough life, so I drag you down and behead you."

Cai Yu was so angry that he subconsciously blurted out a sentence that exposed himself.

He was just an internal official, but he dared to instruct his soldiers to kill people. I don't know who gave him the courage.

"stop."

Wei Shao scolded, and several people froze on the spot. Pei Ying hurriedly ran to the woman's side and helped her put the cloak together. The two soldiers also let go of their hands, not daring to be presumptuous anymore.

When Pei Ying helped her close the cloak, he noticed that the woman's belly was bulging and she was pregnant.

"Naiguan Cai, what's going on?"

Wei Shao walked up to Cai Yu and stared at him intently. Wei Shao's eyes were so sharp that Cai Yu did not dare to look directly at him and could only kneel on the ground without saying a word.

"Very good, you won't tell me, right? You two, go and gather the people in this village. I have something to ask."

The two soldiers hesitated for a moment and whispered: "No."
