palace earlier.""The palace is so big, don't wander around aimlessly later, be careful you get lost." Qian Tingxuan hugged her and leaped onto the carriage: "Mingyang, return to the mansion!""Yes, Gr...Realizing something was amiss, Chu Tianqi immediately shouted: "Everyone, be careful, this dust is poisonous!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the powder suddenly exploded, instantly engulfing the entire execution ground in a cloud of purple mist. The strange fragrance then wafted through the air, leaving everyone feeling weak and unable to move.

At this moment, a masked figure in purple robes arrived precisely beside Ning Zhichuan amidst the purple mist. They shoved two pills into their mouths and then pulled them and their son away with force: "Come with me quickly!"

"No! Take him away!" Ning Zhiyuan knew that with his injured leg, there was no chance of escape. So, he made a quick decision and pushed Ning Feng towards the purple-clad masked man: "Help me take him away! Thank you!"

Across their eyes, he seemed to already know who the masked man in purple was!

"Father, let's go together!" Even though Ning Feng was badly wounded, he still stubbornly wanted to save him.

"Wind! Remember, you are the only hope of the Ning family, you cannot die here! You must live well!"

"Father!" Ning Feng said he wouldn't agree to leave by himself. He had come today determined to leave with his father, even if it meant dying together.

“Wind! Father wants you to leave immediately! Otherwise, you will no longer be my son, Ning Zhiyuan!” This was the first time Ning Zhiyuan had spoken to his son in such a harsh tone.

Meanwhile, Chu Tianqi on the other side knew he had been tricked. However, at this time, he could only slump there, gritting his teeth and struggling to pull a flare gun out of his pocket with his remaining strength and fire it!

The sound of the signal sent a chill through Ning Zhiyuan's heart. He knew that if he didn't leave now, once reinforcements arrived, no one would be able to escape. With all his might, he pushed Ning Feng out: "Feng'er! Go!"

The man in purple, his face covered by a mask, gritted his teeth and pulled Ning Feng out of the crowd. They quickly vanished at the street corner.

Ning Zhiyuan slumped to the ground, knowing this was his end. Although he tasted defeat with a tinge of unwillingness, he had no regrets!

In a short while, the purple mist dissipated, and reinforcements arrived. The soldiers and civilians who had collapsed to the ground regained their strength after resting for a while.

Chu Tianqi thought Ning Ziyuan had escaped, but to his surprise, after the purple mist dissipated, Ning Ziyuan was still sitting on the execution platform. Not only that, all the other criminals were still there too. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief!

Although it was past noon, the executioner still ordered the execution to proceed. The executioners raised their swords and in the blink of an eye, all those involved in the rebellion were beheaded.

When Ning Feng woke up, it was two days later.

"Bro!"

Seeing him wake up, Ninghua, who had been anxiously waiting by his bedside, was overcome with joy.

"Where is my father Where is Father" Ning Feng didn't know that it was two days later. His father had already passed away.

"Brother, you must be hungry after just waking up. I'll make something for you." Ning Hua had already known about their father being executed, but as a woman, she couldn't accompany her brother to rescue him. She could only stay in this Yaowang Valley and grieve in sorrow.

"Niner, tell me, is my father..." Ning Feng gritted his teeth against the pain, grabbing Ning Hua's arm tightly.

"Brother, you've been unconscious for two days. Father... he..." Ning Hua covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

"Father! Uh!"

Ning Feng was overcome with grief and fury, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood before collapsing unconscious!

"Bro!"

Ning Hua hurriedly helped him up, and seeing him faint, she was at a loss as to what to do.

"Feng gege!"

Just then, Xiao Yuge, who had just returned from gathering medicine, threw down the basket of herbs in her hands and rushed to Ning Feng's side.

"Xiao Yuge, please save my brother!" Ning Hua anxiously grabbed Xiao Yuge's hand. Her mother had died a long time ago, and now even her father was gone. She only had her brother left as a family member.

Xiao Yu Ge checked Ning Feng's wound, it was fine and hadn't festered. It seemed he had just fainted from emotional distress. She let out a breath of relief: "Don't worry, he's fine. He just fainted from being too excited."

Ning Hua lifted the stone that she had been holding, then looked at Xiao Yu Ge with gratitude: "Xiao Yu Ge, thank you! Thank you so much..." After going through so many things, she was no longer the willful and naive princess she used to be. She knew that her brother was alive now all because of Xiao Yu Ge's secret help. If it wasn't for Xiao Yu Ge, she and her brother would have been dead long ago.

"You don't need to be polite to me." Xiao Yuge's face showed no extra expression. She did this not out of saving Ning Feng, but to become a light in Ning Feng's life, and then personally pull him into hell. Therefore, she didn't need their gratitude.

“Do you think anyone suspects Xiao Yuge” Ning Hua was still worried about Xiao Yuge. After all, harboring a fugitive and saving Ning Feng from being executed in the execution ground were both capital offenses. If the Emperor found out, even with Prince Xiaoyao's protection, Xiao Yuge would probably not escape death.

"Rest assured, no one will suspect me. This place is very hidden, no one will come, and no one will know, so you can rest assured to stay here and wait until after some time has passed, when the storm has passed, and you decide where to go, I will arrange it for you again." In the eyes of the world, she was nothing more than a helpless woman. How could she possibly have the ability to save someone from the courtroom Even Qian Tingxuan might not know about this.

"Xiao Yu Ge, both my sister and I owe you a life! In the future, if you have any needs, we will definitely repay you!" After this incident, Ning Hua seemed to have grown up and become much more sensible.

"It's not necessary." They wouldn't thank her anyway in the future. If they knew that their father's evidence of treason was secretly placed by her in the emperor's study by Qianji Pavilion, who knows if they would still be so grateful to her

"Xiao Yu Ge, you..." Ning Hua glanced at her brother lying unconscious on the bed, and asked cautiously, "Do you like my brother"

Do you like him Is he right for you

Xiao Yu Ge almost blurted it out, but the words that finally came out were: "Brother Feng likes my sister, not me!" It was like an answer, yet it wasn't.

"No, Xiao Yuge, I know, my brother was indeed deceived by Xiao Yufu's innocent appearance before. He doesn't love her anymore, he loves you now!" Ninghua hurriedly spoke up for her brother.

"If you truly love someone, how can you just say you don't love them anymore" Xiao Yu Ge saw someone's eyelashes flutter, the corner of her lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile: "Feng Ge is good, I admit, I once had special feelings for him too. But ever since I knew he loved my sister, I silently wished them well from the bottom of my heart."

Well! It's a good thing Xiao Yufu and Ning Feng aren't together, otherwise, with their cunning, there would be quite a show.s the Duchess of Jinzhou who gave the medicine to the Empress. Then the Empress used the Prime Minister as leverage to force Mrs. Xiao..." Mingyang lowered his head; it was the first time he had seen...
