At the darkest time before dawn, the Western Liao Palace was silent.

The red candles swayed in Yuelan's palace, and Ji Yuexuan knelt on the ground, her face was bloodless, "My son is incompetent, please forgive me!"

Ji Xu sat there with a deep expression, raised his hand, and three silver needles of varying thickness fell in front of Ji Yuexuan.

"I am very disappointed with you, choose one by myself." Ji Xu said coldly.

Ji Yuexuan's fingers trembled slightly, then picked up the thickest silver needle, aimed it at her left thumb, and stabbed it hard!

The heart-wrenching pain made Ji Yuexuan sweat in an instant, but she gritted her teeth and made no sound. Her hands were trembling, watching the bright red blood fall drop by drop on the ground and gather together.

Rong Yuancheng's figure appeared in her mind, and for a moment, she gritted her teeth with hatred!

"Enough." Ji Xu spoke, a quarter of an hour had passed.

Ji Yuexuan was so pardoned that she pulled out the silver needle at her fingertips and bowed respectfully, "Thank you for your kindness, Father!"

"Originally, I had high hopes for you, but I didn't expect that you would be so useless." Ji Xu's eyes were cold, "With your brain, I want to conquer Rong Lan's son, I respect you so much."

Ji Yuexuan's heart sank, "Please give me another chance! My son will definitely capture Rong Yuancheng back!"

"This year, I haven't gone to hunt yet." Ji Xu suddenly stood up.

Ji Yuexuan was confused, so she heard Ji Xu say, "You go with me and catch the prey back."

Ji Yuexuan widened her eyes, not caring about the pain from her fingers, immediately caught up with Ji Xu, left the Western Liao Palace, and walked east.

At dawn, Rong Yuancheng woke up quietly. As soon as he raised his heavy eyelids, he heard a surprise voice coming from his ears, "Acheng! You are awake!"

It's so familiar. The memories are coming back, but Rong Yuancheng's eyes dimmed.

He was in a carriage, and in the corner was a mute boy curled up and was next to him.

Qingyun was rushing to the car and was moving fast in the countryside, while the other three were secretly guarding him.

"Acheng?" Rong Yuanfeng reached out and shook his hand in front of Rong Yuancheng's eyes, looking anxious, "Are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Rong Yuancheng sat up slowly and looked straight at Rong Yuanfeng's face.

Rong Yuanfeng frowned and pulled the corner of his mouth, with a bad expression. He reached out and touched his chin, "I haven't shaved for many days, do you look much older?"

In fact, he was also very nervous. Although he had imagined that the two brothers would say something when they met again countless times, at this time, his mind was blank.

"I haven't noticed that you and Mu Zhenxuan look so similar." Rong Yuancheng looked at Rong Yuanfeng and said word by word.

Rong Yuanfeng's face froze! In the closed carriage, Rong Yuancheng's eyes and words were like sharp blades, piercing into Rong Yuanfeng's heart, making him feel extremely uncomfortable for a moment and almost couldn't breathe.

In terms of appearance, although Rong Yuanfeng and Mu Zhenxuan are somewhat similar, they are not obvious, and they are far from the point where people think they are father and son at a glance.

Rong Yuanfeng didn't care about Mu Zhenxuan at all. What he feared the most was that Rong Yuancheng no longer recognized him as his brother.

Rong Yuanfeng remembers that from childhood to adulthood, their brothers have fought and quarreled countless times, but the only time Rong Yuancheng is really angry with him was because Liu Manshu is disrespectful to Rong Lan.

Rong Yuancheng was originally gentle and restrained, and he could tolerate anything else. He could even accept watching Jun Lingyue marry Rong Yuanfeng, but he would not compromise or give in to Rong Lan's affairs.

Rong Yuanfeng had no idea about that incident, but it was the first time that Rong Yuancheng took his anger on him because of Liu Manshu.

At that time, Rong Lan didn't care and thought it was a trivial matter. Liu Manshu was just a loving son, which was understandable.

But now, the ugly reality has been completely broken, but it turns out that everything is a scam between Mu Zhenxuan and Liu Manshu. When Rong Lan generously refused to argue with Liu Manshu, Liu Manshu was probably laughing out loud behind his back!

At present, the conflict caused by the background experience between the two of them has increased by thousands of times more severe than the incident before.

"Acheng, I'm sorry..." Rong Yuanfeng's eyes were slightly red, but some things were established facts and could not be changed, and there was no way to explain them.

Their life experiences have undergone tremendous changes one after another. Rong Yuancheng cannot choose his biological parents, nor can he control the behavior of Lin Hou and Xiao Feng. The same is true for Rong Yuanfeng.

The difference is that Lin Hou and Xiao Feng are not really good people, but because of their low status, they have short-sighted knowledge and "love their son" to make them choose to go on a path of no return and seek a good future for their son, and have never hurt Rong Lan.

Mu Zhenxuan and Liu Manshu were completely shameless and despicable. Their "love for their son" was based on deception and harm to Rong Lan.

"You are not sorry for me, I just don't want to see you again. You have biological parents, and a grandmother who will definitely regard you as a treasure, and the emperor's son-in-law and the prince's brother-in-law. What can Gu Huai do to you? Can you die by your own life? Why do you have to disturb my mother? What does she owe you? As the son of Mu Zhenxuan and Liu Manshu, you are under my mother's nose every day. She still treats you as a son. Have you ever considered her mood? You are innocent, should my mother suffer these?" There was no warmth in Rong Yuancheng's eyes.

Rong Yuanfeng looked ugly and his eyes lowered his head with a dumb look, "Acheng, if you don't want to see me again, I will move out of Rong Guogong's Mansion when you go back."

After the words came, Rong Yuancheng closed his eyes again.

Rong Yuanfeng got out of the carriage and sat next to Qingyun, feeling depressed. The joy of rescuing Rong Yuancheng last night was already gone.

During the time when the two brothers separated, Rong Yuancheng experienced a life-and-death disaster. For him, Rong Yuanfeng's experience was equivalent to overturning everything in the past.

When we met again, Gu Feng and Mu Yuancheng, who were formerly, became Rong Yuanfeng and Rong Yuancheng. Their names sounded more like brothers, but this relationship pushed them far away, and they could not go back to their past.

Even if they are not right, not everything can be decided by right or wrong.

The fact is that Rong Lan doesn't love Mu Zhenxuan, so she can face all this more calmly, not get hurt, and can accept Rong Yuanfeng without grudges.

But Rong Yuancheng has been respecting and admiring Mu Zhenxuan since he was a child, and even was willing to die in order to save Mu Zhenxuan. In the end, everything was fake, how could he feel?

Closed his eyes, Rong Yuancheng's mind was once again filled with the appearance of Lin Hou and Xiao Feng's hanging. Zou's disgust for him, the scene of Rong Yuanfeng and Jun Lingyue's wedding. At the critical moment of life and death, Mu Zhenxuan kept saying that he wanted to leave first...

The wound in the palm of his hand had already scarred, but it suddenly began to ache at this moment. Rong Yuancheng knew that he was not as open-minded as Rong Lan. His hatred was for Rong Lan and for himself. All this was too heavy for him, and he could no longer face Rong Yuanfeng calmly, and he could not be called brothers and brothers to him.

The mute boy woke up, approached carefully, and pulled Rong Yuancheng's sleeve.

Rong Yuancheng opened his eyes, and the mute boy took out his crabapple flower and jade pendant from his arms and handed it over.

Rong Yuancheng rubbed the gentle jade pendant, looked at the word "cheng" carved by Rong Lan himself, and thought that Rong Lan was at home, worried about him, and felt guilty. He almost lost his life for the scum Mu Zhenxuan. If he really died, how could he be worthy of Rong Lan who truly loves him?

Rong Yuancheng put the jade pendant on his face and reached out to rub the mute boy's hair gently, "Don't be afraid, I will take care of you in the future."

The mute boy is only in his early teens, very thin, very white in his skin and shiny eyes.

Rong Yuancheng knew some basic sign language. When Ji Yuexuan didn't know, he and the mute boy would silently gesture and communicate.

The mute boy said that he was an orphan and was sold to the Ninth Princess' Mansion as a slave, and he didn't know who his biological parents were. He also said that he was not born to speak, but because he hit him with a man's teeth, he wanted to run away, and he wanted to bring a trafficked little brother with him. As a result, after being arrested, he was punished and his tongue was cut.

Rong Yuancheng would share his food with the mute boy. When he asked the mute boy if he was willing to leave the Western Liao Kingdom with him, the mute boy looked uneasy, but he still nodded.

Rong Yuancheng was worried that Qingyun would not be able to find his place by then, so he instigated an insider to look forward to the mute boy who could guide them, because if he was delayed a little more time, he might not be able to leave.

The final incident happened within Rong Yuancheng's expectations, and the result was as he wished. Qingyun saw Rong Yuancheng's jade pendant in the hands of Yatong and understood what he meant, so he took Yatong away.

Because a small amount of soft tendons were added to the daily meal, Rong Yuancheng had not yet fully recovered and was exhausted and fell asleep again.

Qingyun could only sigh when he heard the conversation between Rong Yuanfeng and Rong Yuancheng. The four brothers all sighed that Rong Yuanfeng and Rong Yuancheng had a heart-to-heart relationship and were invincible in tacit understanding, but obviously, the tacit understanding of foreign enemies does not mean that the relationship between them is still the same as before.

Qingyun said nothing. He could understand Rong Yuanfeng and Rong Yuancheng. Such a big thing could not be resolved in an instant, and he thought nothing had happened. He felt that when he got home and saw Rong Lan, the conflict between the brothers would be resolved.

The next night fell, the mute boy suddenly ran out, grabbed Rong Yuanfeng with anxiety and pointed to the carriage.

Rong Yuanfeng frowned and rushed into the carriage immediately. He saw Rong Yuancheng lying on the ground, bleeding from the corners of his eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears. The blood was black!

Rong Yuanfeng's heart tightened and his face turned pale, "Acheng!"

But no matter what Rong Yuanfeng called, Rong Yuancheng did not respond at all.

Only Qingyun understood medical skills, Rong Yuancheng was obviously seriously poisoned, but he couldn't tell what it was. He could only give him the antidote he carried with him, but it had no effect.

The symptoms of bleeding from the seven orifices have already appeared, which made Rong Yuanfeng anxious, and the fear of losing Rong Yuancheng enveloped him.

"Acheng, don't die. As long as you live, I can do anything!" Rong Yuanfeng's eyes were red and hugged Rong Yuancheng, feeling like falling into an ice cave.

The carriage was parked in a forest, and Qingfeng and the others had already hired the doctor as quickly as possible.

Qingyun suspected that Rong Yuancheng had been poisoned for a long time, in order to prevent him from escaping. Perhaps in the Ninth Princess's Mansion, when he didn't know, he took the drug to suppress the poison. Once he left for more than a certain period of time, the poison would attack.

But Qingyun felt that no matter what Ji Xu or Ji Yuexuan did, they would not be able to kill Rong Yuancheng, as it would be of no benefit to them.

Just as Qingyun was thinking this way, two black shadows appeared in front of him, and his eyes shrank.

One man and one woman, one tall and one short, all wearing masks, as if walking leisurely in the garden, appeared in the wilderness forest late at night.

Qingyun has already guessed their identities.

The next moment, Ji Yuexuan's voice was heard, "Why don't you run away? Is Rong Yuancheng dead? If he didn't die, it would be soon."

In the carriage, perhaps the antidote drugs that had just been taken had some effect, and Rong Yuancheng slowly opened his eyes.

Rong Yuanfeng did not dare to act rashly because he heard Ji Yuexuan's words, escaping at this time may not be a good thing.

Ji Yuexuan looked at the slightly shaking curtain with cold eyes, and her voice was low, "Rong Yuancheng, if you are awake, come here by yourself! The poison in your body cannot be cured within an hour, and you will definitely die!"

"Qingyun..." Rong Yuancheng pushed Rong Yuanfeng away and said softly, "You guys go quickly, leave, don't worry about me."

"Acheng, I will not leave you alone again." Rong Yuanfeng said with an ugly expression.

"Get out!" Rong Yuancheng glanced at him coldly.

Then I heard Ji Xu's voice coming from outside the carriage, "Rong Yuanfeng, Rong Yuancheng, you are indeed Rong Lan's sons, I am impressed. This game ends here, let's come out."

"Get out!" Rong Yuancheng pushed Rong Yuanfeng again and asked him to leave and escape. He could no longer leave. Only by staying can he live, and everything would return to the starting point.

"Rong Yuanfeng, you can leave, but if you leave, I will kill Rong Yuancheng in one hand." Ji Xu's eyes were full of hunting, as if he could see the "prey" struggling and painfully through the curtain of the car.

He admitted that Rong Yuanfeng and Rong Yuancheng's intelligence and tacit understanding were beyond his expectations, but he also said that since he came, no one would leave.

"He is bluffing!" Rong Yuancheng said coldly.

"I won't leave!" Rong Yuanfeng pushed the horrified mute boy to Qingyun, "You guys go!"

Rong Yuancheng spurted out another mouthful of black blood and fell on Rong Yuanfeng, but his consciousness was still awake. The curtain of the car was lifted, and he saw Ji Xu and Ji Yuexuan. He thought that the emperor of Xi Liao actually came to do such things himself, and he really attached great importance to him...

Ji Xu suddenly laughed without warning, and as soon as Qingyun hugged the mute boy, he groaned, lowered his head, and looked at the child in his arms in disbelief.
To be continued...
