Shangguan Yuan and his wife never dreamed that their lives would end like this.
However, just when they had eaten their heads off and prepared to die.
Suddenly everything went dark.
When they woke up again, they were already outside the prison.
It looked like they had been rescued, but what appeared in front of them was a man who had been dead for four years, An Jingheng.
But compared to the eighteen-year-old boy four years ago, he is now taller and stronger, and his eyes are more mature and fierce.
After talking for a while, the two were shocked to learn that the "An" who rebelled in Zhujun was actually An Xingdao.
He and An Jingheng unknowingly faked their own death to escape four years ago in order to save their lives.
"Sister, I was wronged, and so was my father. The emperor didn't give us a chance to explain, and with one decree, the nine members of the An family were wiped out, along with a number of innocent people."
"Since you are still alive, why don't you recognize me?"
An Jingheng pointed at Shangguan Yuan angrily, "Because it was Shangguan Yuan's mother and son who harmed us, and you love him so much. If we weren't close relatives, I really don't want to plan to save you."
Qianru wanted to defend Shangguan Yuan, but An Jingheng intercepted her words directly, "I know everything you want to say, and I have also seen over the years that he is really sincere to you. You can forgive him if you want dad and me to forgive him."
, as long as he swears to be loyal to Anjia from now on."
Shangguan Yuan, who was sensitive to the word loyalty, immediately sensed something was wrong and asked, "Do you also want to be the emperor?"
An Jingheng admitted without hesitation, and said that six of the thirty-two counties in the Xuan Dynasty had submitted to settle down.
"The imperial family of Changsun is over. From now on, whoever has the strongest skills in the world will belong to him. Shangguan Yuan, if my father is proclaimed emperor, you will be the consort. Even if you don't achieve any military merit, for the sake of my sister, we will definitely treat you well.
You, but you must not do anything that harms Anjia's interests in the slightest."
Qianru clearly felt the complexity in Shangguan Yuan's heart.
Yes, the fool also understood that An Xingdao was the one who rebelled in Zhujun.
Although this is treacherous, Qianru hopes that Shangguan Yuan will choose to be loyal to the An family out of selfish motives for the family.
In her heart, if her upright and loving father was the ruler of the world, it would be a thousand times better than her suspicious and cunning eldest grandson.
What's more, now, Changsun Lue has been killed by Zheng Xiao.
Changsun Lue had no heirs, and the king of Luo County went crazy.
In the entire Changsun royal family, there are only two bloodlines left, Changsun Yu, the Prince of Zhang, and Changsun Ji, the Prince of Hedong County. The old and the young cannot succeed at all.
Moreover, he might have been harmed by Zheng Xiao.
But she couldn't persuade Shangguan Yuan with these words, because she knew Shangguan Yuan was loyal to the Xuan Dynasty.
Fortunately, Jing Heng didn't let her do this.
The two of them were arranged to live in a remote village, where they could only move around every day, and people were watching their every move at all times.
This feeling is strange, like a prisoner.
Meeting Jing Heng requires notification first, and it will take a while before he can see him. It is even more impossible to see his father, An Xingdao.
The longer she stayed, the more she thought and became depressed.
Shangguan Yuan also spoke less and less and became more and more silent.
In a blink of an eye, the leaves have turned yellow.
On a cold and windy night, Jing Heng brought her to her father in a hurry.
He was hit by an arrow and had several stab wounds on his body. He was dying.
Before she could react, Jing Heng slashed her wrist with a knife and dripped her blood on her father's wound.
"We are attacking the capital, and nothing can happen to dad, so... I'm offended, sister!"
Soon, An Xingdao's injuries recovered.
However, before the father and daughter could say a word, An Xingdao picked up his weapons and left in a hurry.
In the next few days, Jing Heng kept bringing people to ask Qianru to save her with blood.
Later, in order to facilitate blood collection, she was even taken directly to the military camp.
Soon, she couldn't hold on and fainted.
When she woke up, the capital had been captured and her father An Xingdao had become emperor.
Shangguan Yuan quickly rushed to her side, held her hand, and choked with sobs: "I will never let anyone drain your blood again, and I will never let you leave me for half a step!"
Recalling that in the military camp, Jing Heng urged her to use blood to save people, and even repeatedly cut her hands with a knife, which made her cry.
At this time, her father An Xingdao, wearing a dragon robe, walked majestically to her bedside.
"Ru'er, you are the founding hero of our Taisho Dynasty. Thanks to your blood, I was able to capture the capital quickly. Don't worry, I have found the best doctor to nurse you back to health. You will recover soon!"
She couldn't say anything else, so she just said thank you weakly.
An Xingdao thought she was dissatisfied, and added: "There is also Zheng Xiao who harmed you. I will definitely catch him and cut him into pieces to avenge you!"
However, she just lost too much blood and was too weak to say a few words. After a while, her eyelids drooped and she fell asleep again.
Drowsily, she felt some bumps under her body. When she opened her eyes, she saw that she was in a large and spacious carriage.
As soon as she opened her eyes, the maid brought ginseng soup simmering on the stove to feed her.
"Where is this going?"
"Back to Princess, we are on our way to the westward expedition."
"Western Expedition? Who to fight?"
The maid couldn't tell clearly, but she said it was someone named Xu.
Qianru vaguely remembered that Shangguan Yuan once told her that Xu Youxiong had fled to the west, and it was estimated that the person named Xu was him.
"Where's the consort?"
"The prince-in-law was ordered to go to the north a few days ago."
"Then who is the coach of the Western Expedition?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Where is the Emperor?"
"In the capital."
Qianru understood and stopped asking.
Being fed a lot of expensive supplements all day long, her body has not recovered. She always wakes up less and sleeps more.
Occasionally she feels pain in her arms or feet, but she doesn't bother to open her eyes.
She understood that her father and brother now regarded her as the holy medicine for healing.
Growing up, she always wanted to do something for them.
Therefore, facing her current experience, she really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
However, she doesn't have to worry about these, because sometimes when she closes her eyes, when she wakes up, it's already ten days and a half months later.
For her, days always come and go in a hurry.
The longest I slept was when I woke up and was already back in the capital.
By this time, it was already spring of the following year.
