Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1315: Chapter 1295: Escape!

Perhaps this group of people all have dog noses; on the fourth day of entering the mountain forest, Luo Qianqian discovered traces of someone searching the forest.

Immediately, she was so angry that she blew her beard and glared, but fortunately, they ate ready-made food, and Yan disposed of the trash properly, leaving no trace.

How on earth are they tracking us? This is simply not scientific, but fortunately, Yan was with her along the way. After observing for a few days, he concluded: ”They haven’t found us, they’re just conducting a thorough search.”

Also, because they were in the forest, they couldn’t get any news, nor did they know the external situation. And none of Huangfu Yihui’s party returned with information, so they could only follow the initial plan and proceed quietly.

Night deepens.

In the exquisitely crafted palace, even a casually placed flower was a priceless item, but at this moment, pieces were shattered all over the ground. Huangfu Yihui looked at the strange yet familiar people in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He never thought he would become a sacrificial pawn. Among the princes, he has always had the strongest talent, always being the one to receive adulation. Even all the royal resources were tilted toward him, even if he said he didn’t need them, they would still be delivered into his hands.

But at this moment, the country and family he swore to protect are telling him they want to use him alone to secure Nanli Wuyou.

Can Nanli Wuyou be achieved by him alone? No matter how hard he tries to figure out, he couldn’t have imagined that the person who wants him dead is his father!

And his mother, the Empress, sat silently weeping, without uttering a word.

He suddenly understood why Yan gave him the medicinal powder for protection. He smiled bitterly a few times, weirdly grateful that he parted ways at the Flight Station, fearing something might happen. Afterward, he walked for a few days and reached the gates of the Imperial City before someone informed them that Huangfu Yihui was back.

Later, he boarded the royal carriage sent to receive him and laughed at himself, thinking perhaps he was too cautious. Since he was on his own turf, why was he being so cautious?

But the people had already left, and there was no need for him to look for them. Once he finished solving things here, he would send someone to find them.

... A pair of calm eyes at this moment were filled with desolation: ”Would anyone believe such words; is Southern Li truly destined to be doomed?”

”Yihui...” The Empress’s face showed a trace of reluctance.

”For our country, your siblings, the countless ministers, for Southern Li, can you not make a sacrifice?” Yet the Southern Li Emperor felt nothing wrong at all, just gazing at Huangfu Yihui, his expression showing mania, as if already seeing Southern Li reaching a glorious age under his rule, knowing he would be recorded in history as the most noble Emperor of Southern Li!

The Empress choked up, tears uncontrollably falling but unable to step forward.

Her children were excellent, but to watch them cease being her children was something she couldn’t bear.

Even if someone promised her countless things...

She had already reached the pinnacle of the Three Palaces and Six Houses, knowing she would stay in this position for life because of the forces behind her.

”Father, are you really choosing to believe in those illusory words, demanding my son’s life? Will Huangfu Yihui become nothing more than a walking corpse, having no ties to you?” Huangfu Yihui stared at the Southern Li Emperor on the high platform, his demeanor suddenly becoming calm.

The man in the red dragon robe, before today, was the person he respected most, thinking that ’Prince Ruii’ was a wish from Shiqi, wishing him the first prince to receive a proper title upon return.

But ’Prince Ruii’ meant bringing good omens for Southern Li.

This result was unexpected.

He’s heard a little about possession, but his father wanting to help someone possess his body?

Such an event is simply outrageous!

”Your departure is meaningful.” A nearby brother said with some mockery.

He remembered this brother being one of those always resentful due to his treatment.

Bitterly smiling for a moment, he flicked the long whip, wanting to leave; Southern Li Imperial Palace couldn’t hold him!

Otherwise, they wouldn’t need so many things to bind him.

”Huangfu Yihui, it’s right to make sacrifices for Father. If it were me, I would smile to welcome everything; this is our way to ensure Southern Li lasts a millennium!” Another brother spoke, looking at Huangfu Yihui with ridicule. No matter how high his talent was, a death like this would still be inferior compared to us so-called ordinary people, wouldn’t it? ”Unfortunately, Father doesn’t need me.”

Evidently, the Southern Li Emperor, Huangfu Yihui’s own father, showed some approval and satisfaction.

Huangfu Yihui sneered: ”Really? Then why don’t I use you?”

The gentle temperament of young Huangfu Yihui vanished at this moment, transforming into an icy, decisive young man.

”Brother, go.” Yann Yao rushed in from the hall entrance, holding a long sword still dripping with fresh blood, yet none stained him. Still, he was the otherworldly Yann Yao.

He was most worried about Huangfu Yihui, so after reaching the next city with Luo Xihan and the others, he changed routes, hurrying to the next Flight Station, arriving at the Imperial City a day before Huangfu Yihui.

Upon sneaking back, he discovered his courtyard full of strangers, even a large number of people deployed, sensing something was amiss.

But by then, Huangfu Yihui had already reached the city gate and been escorted away; he couldn’t stop them. He sneaked into the Imperial Palace, realizing it wasn’t a sibling dispute but rather his Father’s plotted betrayal after nodding in agreement!

Seeing his brother’s expression change, he couldn’t hold back, rushing out, still wearing the golden armor of the palace’s Dragon Guard.

”Brother...” Huangfu Yihui’s eyes showed some clarity, nodded, and mercilessly flung the whip toward those around him; even his parents couldn’t claim his life; he was a person with aspirations!

Yann Yao watched as Huangfu Yihui reached his side, unfolding the domain he had earned in training.

The Domain of Five Elements Water accelerated restoration, less vital than the Wood Domain but had defensive capabilities, using softness to conquer hardness; outside attacks were reduced to three layers, while his attacks enhanced by the domain could reach seven layers, displaying 170% power.

”Go!” Grabbing Huangfu Yihui, the two hesitated not a bit, vaulting over the wall.

”Chase!” Southern Li Emperor hadn’t anticipated Yann Yao’s return, nor that he would leave with Huangfu Yihui, commanding an order with a wave.

The Empress fell to the ground, unsure whether to be happy or sad, tears incessantly falling, muttering: ”Yihui... Yann...” Run, never return...

Eyes bleary, gazing toward their departure, raising her hand.

Then, being helped up by a maid, she wiped her tears away; her colored-glass eyes were void of emotion.
