Just now, in order to avoid being chased and killed, Hu Shijie had to drive a carriage on the mountain road, not daring to take the official road. At this time, the carriage had already reached the halfway up the mountain, the mountain road was rugged, and there were steep and towering cliffs not far away. The path along the cliff appeared before them. 【 】

Looking at the width of the road, there is no way for a carriage to pass, otherwise it will definitely fall into the cliff.

"Young lady, the mountain road ahead is too narrow, please get off the carriage, my servant remembers that there is a small town beyond this mountain, and I will definitely be there before dark!" E Ning opened the curtain of the carriage and said respectfully.

"Okay!" Wei Ning'er was exhausted at this time, but for the sake of the child in her belly, she held on all the time, and got out of the carriage with Bing Ruo's support.

E Ning and Hu Shijie unloaded the two horses and led the horses forward and backward.

The four of them walked forward for a while, when they heard the rapid sound of horseshoes.

"Oops, they sent more people to chase after them!" E Ning's face changed drastically, and he wanted to ask Wei Ning'er to get on the horse and go first, but seeing her tall belly, he immediately dismissed this idea, he turned his heart and said yes Hu Shijie beside him said: "Take your mother and go first. The first place is extremely narrow, and there is a cliff below. I will go there to guard and hold them back. You go up the mountain. The mountain is covered with dense forests and overgrown with weeds. They will think about it for a while. It's very hard to find you."

Wei Ning'er couldn't just watch Er Ning go to die, he went alone to stop the pursuers, the danger can be imagined, after all, from last night to now, they have hardly rested, especially since this morning, they have been running for their lives , even if E Ning has the invincible courage, but he is too tired, and he suffered a lot of minor injuries. The people who chased him were all with bows and arrows, and they would die if they were not careful.

"Mother, go!" E Ning turned his head and shouted, and then ran forward, he had made up his mind to die, leaving a glimmer of life for Wei Ning'er and the others.

Wei Ning'er opened her mouth, intending to say something, but Hu Shijie grabbed her and said in a deep voice, "Mother, go!"

With the support of Hu Shijie and Bing Ruo, Wei Ning'er staggered forward. Not long after they walked, they heard the sound of swords clashing behind them.

Wei Ning'er knew that E Ning used his life to win her a lifeline, thinking of Lu Yunxi who was far away by the emperor's side, Wei Ning'er's heart throbbed for a moment.

Although Lu Yunxi has never mentioned it to her, although she has never revealed it, Wei Ning'er knows that Lu Yunxi has only E Ning in her heart from the beginning to the end. Otherwise, with her talent, it would not be difficult to win the emperor's favor. She has been avoiding the emperor for many years, even if she is underestimated and bullied because she is not favored, it is still the same. If she hadn't been obsessed with E Ning, why would she let herself suffer.

The mountain road was rugged, and it was even more difficult for Wei Ning'er to walk with her big belly, but the desire to survive overcame everything, and with the help of Hu Shijie and Bing Ruo, she walked slowly into the dense forest.

"Eunuch Hu, take a break first, I'm afraid your mother won't be able to hold on anymore!" Bing Ruo was startled when she saw Wei Ning'er's face was terribly pale, and even her palms were sweating coldly.

Hu Shijie was slightly startled, and hugged Wei Ning'er by the waist: "Ning'er, you hold on!"

"No...Brother Wen Hao, I can walk by myself!" Wei Ning'er said anxiously, tugging on his lapel tightly.

At this time, everyone was physically exhausted. Although Hu Shijie was strong in martial arts, he was not much better than them in killing the enemy all the way. If he carried her and walked, he would only walk more slowly.

"Your Majesty, just listen to Eunuch Hu!" Bing Ruo said anxiously, holding her hand tightly.

Hu Shijie carried Wei Ning'er into the dense forest until he found a very easy hiding place, then put her down, panting heavily: "Ning'er, you guys hide here first, I'll go back and see E Ning."

"Brother Wen Hao!" Wei Ning'er grabbed his hand, "Don't go, E Ning is already in danger, and if you go, you will die!"

"Ning'er, although I have always refused to admit it, I have regarded him as a brother all these years, and I can't just watch him die alone, not to mention that those people really killed E Ning. Come here, I won't let them find you." Hu Shijie said this with a ruthless look in his eyes.

"Don't...don't go..." Wei Ning'er couldn't help but shed tears, how could she just watch them go to die one by one to protect her.

Hu Shijie looked at Wei Ning'er, gently held her hand, his eyes softened: "Ning'er, Brother Wenhao won't be able to protect you from now on, you have to take care of yourself, live well no matter it's inside or outside the palace! "

"Brother Wen Hao..." Wei Ning'er yelled, struggling to grab him.

But Bingruo hugged her tightly, not letting her get up: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Brother Wenhao, don't go...don't go..."

"Your Majesty!" Bing Ruo was deeply afraid that Wei Ning'er would attract another assassin, so he covered her mouth and wept next to her ear: "My Lady, for your little elder brother, please calm down!"

Wei Ning'er heard the words, and slowly stopped struggling, but her tears grew more and more.

"Your Majesty, you are tired, take a rest!" Bing Ruo hugged her, tears streaming down her face, but she had no choice but to comfort her.

The surroundings gradually quieted down, Wei Ning'er was tired from crying, her whole body was powerless, she stared blankly ahead, her mind was in chaos.

I don't know how long it took, the sky gradually darkened, Bingruo helped Wei Ning'er up from the grass, and said in a low voice: "Madam, there has been no movement after so long, it can be seen that those assassins have been killed or left, we Go down the mountain quickly, otherwise it will be very dangerous when wild animals come and go on the mountain at night."

Wei Ning'er was like a walking corpse, staggering down the mountain with Bing Ruo's support.

"Your Majesty, you have to hold on. When you reach the foot of the mountain and find someone, we will be saved!" Bing Ruo said with great effort, sweating profusely all over her body.

From last night to now, they haven't eaten any rice grains, haven't even drank a sip of water, and are exhausted. At this moment, they have reached the limit they can bear, but... in order to survive, both of them walked down the mountain step by step.

Gradually, a not-so-broad road appeared in front of them, with messy pruned branches scattered on it, Wei Ning'er was trembling all over.

It was on this trail close to the cliff that E Ning chose to stay alone in order to protect her, and brother Wen Hao also returned here without hesitation in order to protect her.

"E Ning...Brother Wenhao..." Wei Ning'er couldn't help but shouted, but no one responded.

"Your Majesty, let's go!" Bing Ruo couldn't help but shed tears, and helped Wei Ning'er to walk forward.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, both of them couldn't hold on any longer. Bing Ruo was about to help Wei Ning'er to sit down, but Wei Ning'er suddenly grabbed her hand: "It seems that someone is coming!"

Before Wei Ning'er could finish speaking, she was dragged by Bing Ruo to a side path. The two hid behind a big tree, and the dense weeds concealed their figures.

After a while, several men in black came over with big knives in their hands, hacking around.

"Where did you hide? The commander ordered that they must be found, and I don't know if the other brothers have found them!" The leader said while chopping around.

"What are you afraid of? We blocked the three roads going down the mountain. If they don't want to hide on the mountain and be eaten by wild beasts, they will definitely come down. It's just that we are suffering, and they have to search the mountain overnight!"

Listening to what they said, Wei Ning'er and Bing Ruo fell into despair, and the hands they held were trembling all the time.

Seeing that the man in black was not far away from them, thinking that there would be more people searching for them, thinking that the road down the mountain was blocked and there were dangers everywhere, Bingruo looked at Wei Ning'er beside him, and put his heart on hold. He stretched out his hand and untied the fox fur cloak that Wei Ning'er had been wearing all the time.

"What are you going to do? Bingruo!" Wei Ning'er was stunned.

"Your Majesty, it is the blessing of your servant to be able to serve your Majesty in this life. From now on, your servant will no longer be able to serve your Majesty. You must live well, for the little elder brother in your belly, and to protect your Lord E and Eunuch Hu. !"

After saying that, Bingruo put the cloak on her body, crawled forward for a while, then stood up and ran to the distance.

"Over there..." The leader man in black yelled and chased after him.

Wei Ning'er was stunned, and finally realized what Bing Ruo was going to do. She wanted to chase her, but before she could stand up, she felt a sharp pain coming from her abdomen, and she almost passed out. In a daze, she heard To the shouts of those people.

"Don't run, you can't escape..."

"stop……."

"I jumped off a cliff. I must be dead on such a high cliff. Go report to the commander and look for it at the bottom of the mountain!"

"Looking at the mountain stream, isn't it to die? If you fall from here, you will be smashed to pieces!"

Wei Ning'er almost fainted when she heard the words, tears slowly flowed down her closed eyes, the pain in her body was far less than the pain in her heart.

She watched E Ning, Brother Wen Hao, Bing Ruo... in order to save her from dying, the pain in her stomach told her that the child might not be saved.

At this moment, Wei Ning'er couldn't bear it any longer, the cold, hunger, pain... slowly submerged her.

Waking up again, it was already broad daylight, Wei Ning'er subconsciously touched her stomach, it was still high and swollen, and there was no pain anymore, her heart that had given up her heart trembled suddenly, the child...the child is still there.

A desire to survive slowly turned into strength. For the sake of the child, she could not die in this mountain, but for the sake of the child, she had to persevere.

Wei Ning'er got up from the grass and walked forward step by step. She was so hungry that she had to use weeds to satisfy her hunger. She could only barely confirm that the weeds were not poisonous.

From morning to dusk, she finally saw the official road below the mountain. There was no one on the official road at the moment. It seemed that the assassins had already retreated.

Bingruo pretended to be her and jumped into the cliff, and exchanged her life for Wei Ning'er's life. If she didn't live well, how could she be worthy of the people who desperately protected her.
