Chapter 497: House Fight Turns into Thriller 36
She thought of the princess's cold and noble face, and hatred surged in her heart. In her previous life, the princess bullied her so much, and in this life, she wanted to take revenge. But now it seems that the road to revenge is so difficult. She couldn't help but sneer, this fate is really teasing people.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted her thoughts. She looked up and saw Liu Ruyan running back in a panic. Her clothes were covered in blood and her face was full of fear.
"Sister! Sister! It's bad! I...I killed someone!" Liu Ruyan's voice was filled with tears. She grabbed Liu Hui's hand as if she had grabbed the last straw.
Liu Hui was shocked when she heard this. She looked at Liu Ruyan's bloodstained clothes and had an ominous premonition in her heart: "Who... who did you kill?"
Liu Ruyan's lips trembled, and her voice was almost inaudible: "I... I killed the assassin..."
Liu Hui was shocked when she heard this. She never expected that Liu Ruyan would do such a crazy thing! She pushed Liu Ruyan away, with a bit of anger and disappointment in her voice: "You are crazy! How can you kill people! We are really finished now!"
Liu Ruyan seemed not to hear her words, and just kept crying: "Sister, what should I do? I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
Liu Hui looked at her tear-stained face, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She hated Liu Ruyan's paranoia and madness, but she couldn't bear to ignore her. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Don't panic, we have to think of a solution."
At this moment, a noise came from a distance. Liu Hui's heart tightened. She knew that it was the princess's guards searching for the assassin. She pulled Liu Ruyan up and hid her in a secluded corner nearby.
The guards searched very carefully, not leaving out any possible hiding place. Liu Hui's heart was beating fast, and she held Liu Ruyan's hand tightly, fearing that she would make the slightest sound.
Finally, the guards finished their search and left. Liu Hui and Liu Ruyan dared to come out from their hiding place. They looked at each other, their eyes full of fear and helplessness.
"Sister, what should we do?" There was a hint of despair in Liu Ruyan's voice.
Liu Hui gritted her teeth, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "We can't just sit there and wait for death! We must find a way to leave here!"
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's eyes flashed with hope: "Leave? Where can we go?"
Liu Hui pondered for a moment and said, "I have a distant relative outside the palace. We can go to him. As long as we leave here, the princess won't be able to find us."
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Okay! Let's go now!"
So the two sisters quietly left the palace at night. After traveling all the way and going through untold hardships, they finally arrived at the home of Liu Hui's distant relative.
The relative was a kind old man. Seeing that Liu Hui and Liu Ruyan were homeless, he took them in. Liu Hui and Liu Ruyan lived a peaceful and simple life here. They were no longer troubled by the struggles and calculations in the palace, nor were they sad for the heartless Wen Hao.
However, the peaceful days did not last long. One day, the palace suddenly sent people to search for them. It turned out that the princess had not forgotten them and had been sending people to secretly look for their whereabouts.
Liu Hui and Liu Ruyan were captured and brought back to the palace. They were imprisoned in a dark and damp dungeon, suffering torture and torment every day. Liu Ruyan finally regretted her original paranoia and madness, and regretted that she had implicated Liu Hui.
"Sister, I'm sorry... I hurt you..." Liu Ruyan's voice was choked with sobs.
Liu Hui looked at her haggard face, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. She gently held Liu Ruyan's hand, and her voice was gentle and firm: "It doesn't matter... We two sisters, we live together and die together..."
At this moment, the dungeon door suddenly opened. A beam of light came in, illuminating the sisters' tear-stained faces. They looked up and saw a man in gorgeous clothes walking in.
The man was the literary giant. He looked at Liu Ruyan, with a trace of guilt and tenderness in his eyes: "Ruyan... I'm sorry for you... I'm here to save you..."
Liu Ruyan looked at him with mixed emotions in her eyes. She hated his indifference, but she couldn't forget how good he was to her. She didn't know what to say, so she just lowered her head silently.
Wenhao walked up to them and untied the shackles on them. He led them out of the dungeon and ran all the way out of the palace.
However, they did not escape. The princess had already sent people to wait outside the palace for a long time. As soon as they appeared, they were surrounded.
The princess walked out of the crowd. She looked at Liu Hui and Liu Ruyan with a hint of sarcasm and pride in her eyes: "Do you really think you can escape from my grasp?"
Liu Hui and Liu Ruyan looked at each other, their eyes full of despair. They knew that this time, they really had no way to escape.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, rolling up fallen leaves. The fallen leaves fluttered in the air, as if bidding a final farewell to their lives.
The princess raised her sword, ready to end their lives, but at this moment, a man in black suddenly fell from the sky and knocked the sword out of the princess's hand.
The man had a sturdy figure and a stern face. He looked at the princess and said with a hint of disdain, "Humph! A woman can be so cruel and ruthless! How ridiculous!"
The princess looked at him, with a flash of surprise and anger in her eyes: "Who are you? How dare you meddle in other people's business!"
The man sneered and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you don't even think about hurting them today!"
After saying that, he started fighting with the princess's guards. Liu Hui and Liu Ruyan took the opportunity to flee the scene. They ran all the way, and only stopped to rest after they were sure it was safe.
They sat under a big tree, looking at each other breathlessly. After experiencing this series of changes, they cherished the sisterhood between them even more.
"Sister...thank you...thank you for always being with me..." Liu Ruyan's voice was choked with sobs.
Liu Hui patted her shoulder gently and said, "It's okay... We two sisters must face everything together..."
At this moment, they suddenly heard footsteps. They looked up and saw the man in black who had saved them walking towards them.
"You... who are you? Why did you save us?" Liu Hui looked at him warily.
The man smiled and said, "You don't need to know who I am. I just can't stand what the princess did. You should leave quickly. It's not advisable to stay here for long."
After saying that, he turned and left. Liu Hui and Liu Ruyan looked at his receding figure, and an inexplicable feeling of gratitude and respect welled up in their hearts.
They continued on their journey, and after many hardships, they finally arrived at a remote village, where they lived a peaceful and simple life, away from the struggles and calculations in the palace.
However, there was always a knot in Liu Hui's heart that she could not untie. She could not figure out why she died in the hands of someone like Liu Ruyan in her previous life. When she thought of her past life, she felt hatred in her heart. She knew that it was all because of the princess. If the princess had not offended her in her previous life, she would not have ended up like this.
