I felt something was wrong when I heard it, so I turned my head and looked at her strangely: "What are you asking about this?"

Jingxu also had a confused expression on his face. After a moment of silence, he whispered to me: "She wants Pomni to come here and help her find her son.?"

"What?!"

I couldn't control it for a while, and the sound became a little louder. Several people around me who were sleepy by the hull were awakened. Looking at me dissatisfiedly, I hurriedly pulled up the scarf covering my chin and carefully leaned over her.

When the people around me stopped paying attention to us, I lowered my voice again and said in disbelief: "She asked you to help her-find her son?"

"Um."

What's going on?

Isn’t Zhao Shuyuan’s son the King of Yun Pei Yuanchen. He has been dead for many years, so why do you still have to find him?

Could it be that he is not dead?

Just thinking about this, I immediately shook my head subconsciously. How is that possible? Not to mention the towering fire in Qingmei Villa, I kept guarding Pei Yuanchen. Seeing him angry with my own eyes, how could he still be alive?

I turned to look at Jingxu and said, "Mr. Master's son, who was the former King Yun, was so angry that I watched with my own eyes that he had been dead for many years. Is she confused?"

"I think so." Jingxu nodded: "At that time, she was indeed a little sick, she was burning every day and kept talking to her sleep. But-"

"Just what?"

Jingxu looked around again, and made sure no one was paying attention to us. Then he came to my ear and whispered:

"At that time, she was seriously ill and said a lot of strange sleep words. Pomni kept guarding her and listened to her roughly. When she heard her, it seemed as if she had found some secret of the queen. The queen asked her to shut up. She kept begging for something, but I didn't understand. After she woke up, she refused to say anything again."

The river seemed to surge with my ups and downs, and the hull was shaking. I just felt that my mood became more and more chaotic at this moment.

What she was talking about was naturally Empress Yin, and Zhao Shuyuan was originally the dowry of Empress Yin.

Is it...real?

If Zhao Shuyuan's sleep is not nonsense, could it be that Pei Yuanchen, who died in Qingmei Villa, was really not her biological son, but Empress Yin exchanged her biological son for the purpose of controlling her, so that this woman, as a mother, could completely shut up!

If this is true, it is impossible not to say that Empress Yin is cruel enough. She did make Zhao Shuyuan shut up all her life. As soon as she fell, Zhao Shuyuan completely lost her son's trace. I thought it was because of Pei Yuanchen's death that made her become a monk. Now it seems that perhaps it was because she lost the opportunity to find her son in the end that Zhao Shuyuan was completely disappointed and became a monk.

But what is the secret that can make Queen Yin deal with the people around her like this!

I felt a biting chill. I remembered Pei Yuanchen, who vomited blood while crying in the fire in Qingmei Villa, and was still obsessed with Huang Tianba. Suddenly, I felt helpless because I didn't know whether it was sad or happy.

Maybe it wasn't really painful for him to leave like that.

Jingxu said softly: "I don't know whether these are true or not. But she said that the eldest princess has found the lifelong entrusted, and she no longer worried. The only person she cares about is only one person. So, ask me to find it."

My breathing was suffocated.

The eldest princess... entrusted for life.

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the top of his head, as if many people were shouting something loudly. Then there was a clanging sound in the table tennis, which immediately broke the silence in the cabin. Everyone was shocked, and someone subconsciously said, "What's wrong? Could it be that the ship is about to sink?"

Suddenly, everyone around him was frightened and started to make a fuss.

I frowned and didn't say anything, but my ears caught the messy sound above, and someone was scolding loudly: "Catch him!"

"Don't let him run away, little bastard!"

"Look, I won't beat you to death!"

It seemed like someone got on the boat, but for some reason, I felt inexplicably nervous and hurriedly got up and walked towards the wooden ladder. Jingxu behind me didn't have time to call me, so I had already held the wooden railing and slowly walked up and pushed open the hatch door.

Sure enough, there was a mess outside, and the sailors were all shouting and scolding with wooden sticks. I had just stood firm when a black shadow rushed over in front and knocked me to the ground.

"ah--!"

I screamed in pain, and I was not very comfortable at first. At this moment, I almost fainted when I heard the person who bumped into me subconsciously: "Save me, Aunt Qing, save me!"

This sound-

I opened my eyes and saw that it was Ping'er who knocked me down!

I was shocked: "Ping'er? Why are you on the boat?"

Before he could answer, the sailors around him had already surrounded him. A big man picked him up and cursed: "Little bastard, I want to cross the river without paying money, and I still hide behind the cabin. I really think that men are blind."

He was not very thin, but the big man was burly. He grabbed him like he was catching a monkey. He easily carried him to the side of the boat and said viciously: "Go to die!"

Seeing that he was about to throw Ping'er into the river, I hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the man's hand: "No! Put him down."

The big man looked back at me and said viciously: "It's so cheap to let him go?! It's not easy for us to live in Jiang once. Let this kid get rid of the tricks. Everyone will follow suit in the future! Humph, this time I'll kill the chicken to show the monkey to see who dares to do this in the future!"

After saying that, he raised Ping'er high and was about to slam down!

My feet were so scared that I felt weak, and I grabbed him tightly with both hands: "No! No! I will give you money, I will give him money!"

The big man stared at me, and his hands stopped.

I was so panicked that I was trembling, and Ping'er was so scared that she had forgotten to struggle in his hands. She watched me tremblingly and pour out all the pieces of silver that Yunxiang gave me.

A sailor next to me came over, took the silver from me and weighed it, and immediately said, "This is not enough!"

When the big man heard this, he immediately said with a angrily eyebrows: "Then I can't blame me!"

"No--!" Seeing that he was about to throw Ping'er down, I pulled him tightly: "Don't hurt him!"

"If you don't have money, let him die!"

“…”

I looked at the man's ruthless and fierce look, and then looked at Ping'er's face that was scared and looked no more. I gritted my teeth, made a move, and reached out to slowly find something from my arms.

The man came over and looked at it, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Oh, this silver lock is of good quality."

After saying that, he reached out and wanted to get it, but my fingertips were tightly pinched. He took it a few times but didn't take it over, and his face changed: "What? I don't want to give it to me? Then this little boy can't keep it!"

“…”

I bit my lower lip tightly, almost all of it. The slight pain and the salty smell of blood made me tremble constantly. Although all my strength was emptied, my fingertips seemed to be out of my control, and they were pinched tightly, so I couldn't even snatch the man hard.

Ping'er kept begging: "Aunt Qing, Aunt Qing save me, save me."

I looked up at him, then lowered my head. The silver lock was already hot by me, and the words on it became burning. Just when I didn't know what to do, the words that Jingxu had just said rang out in my ears.

The eldest princess has found her lifelong entrusted...

Lifelong entrusted...

The fingertips trembled, and the hot silver lock was snatched away.

My hands were empty, and suddenly my chest was empty, which had been hot and beating. I watched the man take away the silver lock, and put it happily to his mouth with a greedy expression and bit it. I immediately smiled. Ping'er had been put down by the sailor, and suddenly pounced on me and hugged my arm hard: "Aunt Qing."

I couldn't speak, tears blurred my eyes and choked my throat.

I suddenly wanted to cry.

I cry for my empty hands now, and for my past nothing.

How could I get to where I am today?

I turned my head to look at Ping'er: "What are you doing?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the voice was so strange that he didn't recognize it. It was already broken. Ping'er thought I was angry and looked at me timidly: "Aunt Qing, I'm sorry. I just want to cross the river, I want to go find my father by myself."

"Why...why, so disobedient..."

“…Aunt Qing.”

I could no longer speak, and Ping'er looked up at me and was surprised: "Aunt Qing? Aunt Qing...you, are you crying? Don't cry, I know I'm wrong, I'm sorry."

"Why are you not obedient?"

"Aunt Qing, I'm sorry!"

No matter how he apologized or even reached out to hold my arm and begged for mercy desperately, I still couldn't control my tears, as if it had broken the dam at this moment. The child was frightened and did not even dare to say anything in the end, so he could only hold my arm all the time.

The sailors only noticed us at this time. When they saw me, an ugly woman, crying, they became more disgusted and pushed me: "Why are you crying? Go down and stay, the boat will be docked soon."

I staggered and turned around, looking at the person who took my silver lock with blurry eyes. He no longer cared about us at all, and just lay on the rudder in front and stared at the shore. The boat was about to dock. Looking at the darkness in front, I could only listen to the rustling sounds based on the wind, like the lush reeds on the river bank.

If a boat sneaks across the river like this, it will naturally stop in a wilderness where people are scarcely seen.

The sailors urged us a few more times, but I had no choice but to take Ping'er slowly back.

But as soon as we turned around, we heard someone say, "Why, why is it so quiet today?"

“It’s not good to be quiet?”

"Not that, it's just that it wasn't like this in the past-"
