Chapter 32
Hua Man'er had been holding her breath and listening intently, at this moment she couldn't help but asked tremblingly: "Who is this child?"

"Li Xuqing was mad when he found out that Hua Yiyang and I had a child. I always thought that the child I gave birth to was a beautiful and intelligent baby girl. The birth of this baby girl eased my hatred for Hua Yiyang a little. I love her to the bone, holding her in the palm of my hand for fear of falling, and holding her in my mouth for fear of melting. And she is also sculpted and lovable. This baby girl is you, Hua Maner."

Murong Jiao's beautiful eyes were filled with smoke, and her thoughts were deeply mired in the past.Once the talk started, it was like an undercurrent bursting a dike, which could no longer be blocked.

"In the past 20 years, I have loved|petted|loved you, and you know the hard work I have spent on you. Even Zehao has not received as much love as you. Because he is only seven years old, and I have loved you for a whole 20 years. It wasn't until Li Xuqing broke through the capital and Hongxiu knocked me out and sent me back to Dazhao that I realized that you were not my own!"

Huaman'er's nose suddenly felt a little sore, tears rolled down inexplicably, and she asked softly, "Your biological child is actually Li Muhan, right?"

"Yes, Maner, you are really smart!" Murong Jiao showed a pitiful smile, "I was in the chaos of war, and Li Xuqing sent someone to cooperate with Hong Xiu to bring me here. Only then did I know that he was pregnant with me." How hateful it is. You were originally the child born to him and Concubine Liang, and Concubine Liang died of dystocia, so he would not hesitate to switch you with Mu Han so that Hua Yiyang's own son would grow up by his side. And you, Through the hands of the red sleeves, it was delivered to me."

"Why did he do that?" Hua Man'er didn't think she was smart, but she was a bit confused in the tears.

Originally thought that Li Muhan was cruel, but it turned out that Li Xuqing was even more sinister and cruel.

And this most insidious and cruel man turned out to be his own father.

Murong Jiao smiled wryly: "The purpose is to let Mu Han kill Hua Yiyang with his own hands one day. It is said that before Hua Yiyang died, Li Xuqing had someone tell him the truth. Hua Yiyang was so angry that he was going crazy! Li Xuqing hates it." Through Hua Yiyang, I hate every child Hua Yiyang and I have. To this day, I have begun to doubt whether he hates Hua Yiyang so much because he loves me too much, or because of his self-esteem and face. "

Hua Man'er couldn't help bursting into tears: "No, you're lying. Queen Mother, Li Xuqing can't be my real father. He's such a pervert, so cruel, so terrifying, how could he be my real father?"

Murong Jiao hugged Hua Man'er tightly in pity, and cried like a pear blossom: "I heard this at the beginning, but I couldn't believe it. This cruel man could be your father, the man I once loved so much." Originally, I could forgive him for going to great lengths, arranging hidden stakes, and launching wars for revenge. However, I couldn't completely forgive him for the matter of exchanging flesh and blood. Why didn't he think about my feelings? How could he hurt me like this?"

"Maner, I have raised you for 20 years. For you, I have devoted 20 years of hard work. How can I let go of the mother-daughter relationship between you and me? But at the same time knowing that Li Muhan is my biological son, how can I not Concern? Li Xuqing is putting me in a dilemma! The palms of your hands and the backs of your hands are full of flesh. Whether you are adopted daughters or biological children, you are all my children! But, Li Xuqing, this bastard, let you hurt each other like this , my heart aches—”

"Mother's Empress—" Hua Man'er couldn't help crying in Murong Jiao's arms, "Can Man'er still call you 'Mother's Empress'?"

"Of course, Man'er, in my heart, you will always be my own daughter. Especially after knowing what happened to you this year, the queen mother feels that she has not raised you for nothing. You are a filial, brave and good boy! All of this is the fault of the empress! The beauty is a disaster, and it all happened because of me!"

"No! Empress, don't say that, don't blame yourself, the culprits are Li Xuqing and Hua Yiyang, we are all innocent!" Hua Man'er cried.

She never expected that after Murong Jiao knew the truth, she could still love herself so much. A burst of warmth flowed through her heart, making her unable to control her emotions anymore.

Ever since the country was destroyed and her family was destroyed a year ago, the stubborn and arrogant Hua Man'er has never been so weak.

Li Muhan beat her and humiliated her, Xiao Jinyan betrayed her at a critical moment, never made her so vulnerable.

But now, the truth has completely crushed her.

How could she have such a father?

This kind of pain is more difficult for her to accept than when Han Feng told her that Hua Yiyang was violent and Yirou.

In this way, it was Li Muhan's own father who violated Li Muhan's sweetheart.

Heh, if Li Muhan knew the truth, how would he accept it?
No wonder the third prince and Master Qi sued Li Muhan for being with the barbarian princess in front of Li Xuqing, but Li Xuqing didn't blame himself, so it turned out to be the reason.

Li Muhan, this mighty man, turned out to be a pawn in Li Xuqing's hand!
Li Xuqing used him to kill his enemy Hua Yiyang, and then used him to annex the world, incorporating the Barbarian Kingdom and Xuanyue Kingdom into the dynasty's territory.

and then?
Suddenly, Hua Man'er's whole body trembled, and there was a jingle in his mind.

If all of this is true, then is today's feast and rewards out of sincerity?
After Li Xuqing has done all this, will Li Muhan stay?
Isn't he afraid that he will recognize Murong Jiao and know the truth?

Thinking of this, Hua Man'er hastily wiped away her tears, and worriedly held Murong Jiao's hand.

"Queen, call Hongxiu back quickly. You ask her to ask Li Xuqing to let you mother and son recognize each other. This is simply impossible. I have been by Li Muhan's side for so long, so I know a little about his personality. If he Knowing the truth of all this, I don't know what crazy things he will do. But one thing is certain, Li Xuqing plotted against him, used him, and caused him to kill his own father with his own hands, committing an unacceptable crime. How could he obediently continue to be Li Xuqing's son?"

The more Murong Jiao heard it, the more terrified she became. Based on her understanding of Li Xuqing, if Li Muhan disobeyed him but had such a strong force, then...

"So, if they recognize each other, Li Xuqing and Li Muhan will definitely turn their eyes against each other, and the bloodbath of the court will be the only result. With Li Muhan's extreme and Li Xuqing's narrow-mindedness, how can they live in peace? Even..."

Hua Man'er suddenly felt palpitations, she really hoped that her speculation would not come true.

"Queen, I have to go, I have to go to Changxi Hall as soon as possible!" Hua Man'er couldn't help but walk out.

Murong Jiao grabbed her hand: "No, Maner, what are you going to do, please explain clearly!"

"No matter what I do, I will never stay here anyway, such a royal father makes me feel sick!" Hua Man'er turned around and roared angrily.

Murong Jiao was stunned for a moment, Hua Man'er had already broken free from her hand and was running away.

After Murong Jiao regained her composure, she hurried out to give chase.

Hua Man'er's analysis has already crushed her heart.

This year, Murong Jiao was in the palace, entangled with Li Xuqing in love and hate, she always tried her best to think in a good direction.However, the arrival of Hua Man'er ruthlessly exposed everything.This seemingly peaceful life has finally set off a raging wave.

Hua Man'er didn't know where the Changxi Hall was, so she searched blindly. At this time, Murong Jiao rushed over, and Hua Man'er immediately pulled her to lead the way.

At this critical moment, her heart became clear. If Li Muhan was really in danger, then Murong Jiao would become his only chance to survive.

They walked quickly through several corridors, and when they were passing through a square, they suddenly saw Li Muhan running towards him covered in blood. Behind him, a large group of guards with knives were chasing him closely.As for the two leading men, judging by their attire, one must be the emperor and the other must be the prince.

Hua Man'er's heart rose to her throat, how she did not want her speculation to come true.

"Hua Maner, let's go!"

Like a tornado, Li Muhan blew past in front of him quickly, and he had already wrapped Hua Man'er under his arm.

He took her volley to the top of the wall.

But just as he was about to go out of the wall, rows of crossbowmen suddenly sprang out from around the palace wall, and they involuntarily released sharp arrows.

Tens of thousands of sharp arrows came whistling, with a sharp murderous aura, and Li Muhan was not allowed to have any chance to breathe.

As expected, Li Xuqing had already made preparations.

"Stop the second prince, shoot him to death!" Li Zhenao ordered loudly.

Li Muhan was forced to fall back to the ground by the rain of arrows, he wrapped Hua Man'er tightly in his black robe and tried his best to dodge, his sword had just been surrendered, so he could only dodge with bare hands.

"Where's Xia Qianqian? Where's her?" Hua Man'er asked anxiously.

"She's dead! She was shot to death by random arrows!" Li Muhan replied briefly.

"What? Dead?"

"She died to protect this king! Hua Man'er, this king can't protect her, and I won't be able to protect you!"

Li Muhan gritted his teeth, and flew towards the palace wall with Hua Man'er in his arms, trying to break through the array of arrows.

However, the array of arrows was too violent, and Li Muhan forced himself back to the ground again.In this case, it would be nice to be able to keep himself and Hua Man'er from getting hurt, how could he escape?

"Stop! Stop! Li Xuqing, you are about to stop, what did you promise me?" Murong Jiao cried out with tears.

Li Xuqing quickly walked up to Murong Jiao, and said softly, "Why are you here? This scoundrel, he tried to rebel and assassinate me, so I had no choice but to..."

"Stop talking! I don't want to listen! You don't have to explain anything to me, you just have to tell them to stop! There are so many arrows, they will be shot at any time! Please, let him go. As long as you let him go, I am willing to stay by your side and serve you." Murong Jiao plopped down on her knees at Li Xuqing's feet.

Li Xuqing was startled, and wanted to pull her up, but she refused.

Li Xuqing showed a troubled expression.

At just the right time, Li Muhan, who was in the center of the arrows, suddenly shot an arrow in the back in order to protect Hua Man'er.

"Mu Han—" Murong Jiao and Hua Man'er both yelled.

Murong Jiao no longer had the patience to wait for Li Xuqing to make a decision.

She suddenly got up from the ground and rushed towards the arrow formation decisively.

"Li Xuqing, if Mu Han has to die, let me die with him! Everything started because of me! I don't want to live anymore! Is it true that if Bengong dies, the world will be peaceful?" Murong Jiao Shouting heart-piercingly, tears fell like rain.

Li Xuqing was horrified, and quickly ordered: "Stop!"

In an instant, the rain of arrows stopped suddenly, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of arrows, and there was no place to stay in the entire square.

"Don't stop! Don't stop! Shoot!" The third prince Li Zhenao wished that Li Muhan would die immediately, and in desperation he disregarded Li Xuqing's will and roared an order.

Li Xuqing rushed over, "slap", "slap", and slapped Li Zhenao twice in public.

Li Zhenao stroked his face, suddenly realized in astonishment, and quickly lowered his eyebrows, not daring to say another word.

Li Muhan, who was seriously injured, didn't care about other things, so Gu Kong took Hua Man'er and flew out of the palace wall, fleeing for his life.

"Li Muhan, how are you doing?" Seeing the blood continuously spilling from Li Muhan's mouth, Hua Man'er was distraught and worried.

She turned around and supported Li Muhan to run forward.

Beyond the palace walls, there are still palace walls.

Li Muhan desperately led Hua Man'er to fly over the palace walls until he reached the street outside the imperial city, he couldn't stand it anymore, his tall body almost leaned on Hua Man'er, and he couldn't lift it up again. any spirit.

Hua Man'er bit her lip, and struggled to help Li Muhan Mao to sit down in the shadow of the corner.

"Wait for me, Li Muhan, you must persevere!"

Hua Man'er turned around and ran to the street, and managed to pull a carriage.Seeing the blood on Hua Man'er's body, the driver of the carriage shook his hands in fright, and was about to run away from Hua Man'er's eyes.

Hua Man'er jumped up, flew onto the carriage, and directly threw an ingot of gold in front of the owner of the carriage, and said succinctly, "Isn't it more than enough to buy this carriage?"

The owner of the carriage straightened his eyes for a moment, and nodded again and again: "Enough is enough! Alright, it's yours!"

He stopped the carriage, took the ingot of gold, patted his ass and left.

Hua Man'er hurriedly drove the carriage to Li Muhan, and pushed Li Muhan into the carriage with great effort.

Hua Man'er sat on the small stool in front of him, and fled at high speed in the carriage himself.

At this time, Prince Jing's Mansion must have been heavily besieged by the troops sent by Li Xuqing, and she would be caught in the urn if she returned to the Palace. In desperation, she could only take Li Muhan and flee outside the capital in panic.

Hua Man'er's heart is like a mirror, and Murong Jiao's desperate protection can only keep it for a while, not forever.

An insidious and black-bellied emperor like Li Xuqing must kill the grass and roots, how could he leave a descendant of an enemy, let him seek revenge on him in the future?What's more, the son of this enemy is quite capable, at least half of the world's mountains and rivers were brought down by him for him.

For this, Li Muhan deserves to die!
Sure enough, when he broke out of the city, he was obstructed by the guarding soldiers. Hua Man'er simply killed a soldier, grabbed the sword in his hand, and desperately broke out of the encirclement.

However, within two miles, they heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind.From the tremor that shook the mountains and rivers from the ground, Hua Man'er could guess the chasing soldiers.

Hua Man'er was still in shock, the world is so big, now it's all Li Xuqing, is there really no room for her anymore?

She turned her head and tried to recall the "Local Chronicles" she read in Li Muhan's dormitory a year ago. There was no place to hide near the capital of Jokhang.

Suddenly, a light flashed through his mind, and this light illuminated the dark road ahead.

Hua Man'er gritted her teeth, turned the direction of the carriage, and ran decisively in the direction of Qixia Mountain.

Cliffs, deep caves and shallow streams, secluded forest canyons, thrilling plank roads, easy to defend but difficult to attack...

If I remember correctly, Qixia Mountain is definitely the best place to hide now.

Whoosh whoosh—

Another cold arrow was fired from behind, just hearing the sound of the sharp arrow piercing through the air, Hua Man'er felt uneasy.She's not afraid of death, but, but...

Hell, her mind was out of order.

She realized that she was actually worried about Li Muhan's safety.

The once sworn enemies turned out to be just two innocent babies with the same disease, two pawns at the mercy of others.

Hua Man'er almost said "hehe", but she couldn't tolerate her grief and emotion, the most important thing right now was to run for her life!

In order to confuse the pursuers, Hua Man'er ran another seven or eight miles, and estimated that he was not far from Qixia Mountain. He came to a three-forked intersection, dragged Li Muhan out of the carriage with all his strength, and then went to The horse whipped his whip, and the carriage continued to run on the left road.

Hua Man'er supported Li Muhan to go to the right, but he didn't dare to follow the right path, and only took the secluded path.

Li Muhan's tall body pressed down like a mountain, almost killing her.

What's worse, Hua Man'er found poison on the arrow.

God, how vicious her own father is, he doesn't even acknowledge the 20 years of upbringing.What's more, Li Muhan has laid down half of the country for him, Li Xuqing is so cruel.

Thinking of this, Hua Man'er became even angrier.

It seems that just now in the palace, when thousands of arrows rained on her and Li Muhan, Li Xuqing never thought that it might hurt her.He clearly knew that Hua Man'er was his own daughter, but...

Hua Man'er was secretly sad.

However, it seems that grief is transformed into strength.Holding her breath, she actually dragged Li Muhan up to Qixia Mountain.

Looking for a hidden cave, the outside of the cave was covered by flowers and grass, and Li Muhan lay down on the withered grass, Hua Man'er began to check Li Muhan's injuries.

She made Li Muhan lie on his stomach, quickly stripped off his robe, and took a closer look, gasped, the blood near the arrow wound was already as black and purple as ink.

She didn't dare to draw the arrow immediately, the poisonous blood had already spread, and there was no way to completely remove the poison with her mouth alone.

Helpless, Hua Man'er had no choice but to remove the silver hairpin on her head first, and straighten a few silver needles from the silver hairpin, using acupuncture to prevent the venom from spreading further.

Then, she turned around and walked out of the cave, quickly looking for herbs for detoxification and herbs for treating arrow wounds.

Regardless of the degree of poisoning, just the sharp arrow that almost pierced through the body, if it is not pulled out in time for treatment, it will also hurt life.

Li Muhan was injured so badly that Hua Man'er had never seen it before, which made her quite upset.

Most good medicines grow on cliffs.Hua Man'er searched and searched, and found everything she was looking for, Baiying, Solanum nigrum, Aesculus...

But in the end, only the vine pear root that can reduce swelling and stop bleeding has not been found.

Bending down to search around, when I raised my eyes, I saw a vine pear root on the cliff calling in the wind. Hua Man'er showed surprise and climbed up the rock without hesitation.

Her hands and face were injured by thorns, and bloodstains were drawn on them. The stones under her feet were occasionally loose, and she almost fell off the cliff several times.

Hua Man'er gritted her teeth, managed to survive, and was about to touch the root of the vine when she stretched out her hand, but unexpectedly, behind her, something that looked like a melon head popped out.

Hua Man'er followed the shadow and looked back, her face immediately turned pale with fright.
