Chapter 500 Mother, Save Me
Chapter 500 Mother, Save Me
"Then I'll go with my wife."
Wen Shubai wanted to see the two children as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyuan immediately refused after hearing his words.
"No, just stay home and wait for me to come back. Besides, it says I can only go alone. I'm afraid it will be bad for the two children if they see someone else going there."
"But……"
Wen Shubai was still worried about her going alone.
The two children had been missing for two months, and at this time the wife received a note instructing her to go to the Cliff of Beheading alone. It was hard not to suspect that this was aimed at her.
Gu Qingyuan patted his shoulder to comfort him, "Don't worry, I'll have someone waiting at the foot of the mountain, and I won't go there rashly without any preparation."
Wen Shubai reluctantly agreed after hearing her say this.
"Then my wife, you must be careful."
"Don't worry, I will."
In the remaining three days, Gu Qingyuan sent people to the Cliff of Broken Heads in advance to check the situation.
The Sixth Princess anticipated that Gu Qingyuan would arrive early, so she ordered the people who were guarding there to withdraw and also dismantled the ambush.
In this way, Gu Qingyuan's people won't find out anything.
And she came to the basement where the two children were imprisoned.
Xixi and Xiaonian go to sleep after eating.
Only when they fall asleep can they forget the pain for a short time.
They have adapted to the dark life in the past two months. From thinking of escaping at the beginning to staying here honestly now.
At least, their lives are safe while they stay here.
The two children heard the sound of the basement door opening and thought someone was bringing them food.
But when they saw the Sixth Princess again, Xixi angrily said to her, "Bad woman!"
If it weren't for her, they wouldn't be locked up.
It's this hateful bad woman.
Xixi's scolding had no effect on the Sixth Princess. Instead, she stood one step away from the two of them, with her arms folded across her chest, looking at the two embarrassed children leisurely.
The Sixth Princess even said to them calmly, "Your parents don't want you anymore."
Since ancient times, there has been no child who is not afraid of this sentence.
Hearing the Sixth Princess say that her parents didn't want them anymore, Xixi paused for a moment, then shouted at her, "Impossible! I'm so innocent, kind, lively, cute, elegant and charming, there's no way my parents wouldn't want me!"
The Sixth Princess continued, "You've been locked up here for so long, have they ever come looking for you? So, in my opinion, they don't care about you at all. And I heard that your father has another child now, so he must have forgotten about you."
She also heard the news that Wen Shubai was pregnant.
She didn't have a deep impression of this royal brother. She only knew that he married into the Gu family and that her mother loved him very much before.
"Impossible, it must be you who is causing this, you evil woman!"
How could her parents not want them? They clearly loved her and Xiao Nian so much.
I won’t be fooled!
Xiao Nian calmly asked the Sixth Princess, "What are you doing here?"
The Sixth Princess discovered that this girl, who was younger than Xixi, was very calm from beginning to end, and even asked directly about her purpose at this moment.
She curled her lips into a smile and continued, "Didn't Second Miss Gu just say that your parents couldn't possibly abandon you? Then let's play a game and see which of you your parents care about the most."
Xiao Nian's heart trembled.
Afterwards, the Sixth Princess brought people in, covered their heads again, put them in the carriage, and headed up to the Cliff of Beheading.
In order to avoid any accidents on the road, the Sixth Princess blocked their mouths and had them taken to the Cliff of Beheading under the cover of night.
Two people were hung there, their hands, feet and waists tightly wrapped with ropes.
As long as the rope tied above them is cut, the two of them will fall to the bottom of the cliff.
Their eyes were blindfolded and they could only hear the whistling of the wind in their ears.
The feeling of weightlessness made them a little scared.
And because it is located at the top of the mountain, the temperature is very low at night.
Both of their bodies were almost frozen.
"Okay, then we'll wait for your mother to come tomorrow and see who she chooses to save."
The Sixth Princess's cruel voice echoed above them.
In fact, she didn't plan to keep any of them.
And when Gu Qingyuan arrives tomorrow, she will kill all three of them, mother and daughter.
But it would be fun to play some games before they die.
The two people's hearts felt like they were sinking into an icy cave.
At this time, Xixi truly regretted why she had brought Xiaonian out with her.
Their hands and feet were red from being tied up, but they did not dare to let their guard down at all.
They knew they must be hanging from a very high place and if they fell they would be smashed to pieces.
The appointed time arrived.
Just after the hour of Xu and before the hour of Hai, Gu Qingyuan had already arrived at the bottom of the Cliff of Broken Head.
The Broken Head Cliff looks a little weird at night.
All was silent, the moonlight dappled in the air. Its light fell on the ancient trees and stones, a strange and inexplicable feeling. The trees towered, the dew was heavy, and the chill seemed to penetrate deep into my bones.
She instructed the people behind her, "Wait for me here. If I don't come down the mountain in an hour, come up directly."
"Don't worry, young master, but you must pay attention to safety."
After saying "I will", Gu Qingyuan started to go up the cliff.
She was holding a lantern in her hand and as she was walking she felt something entangled around her foot.
Gu Qingyuan lowered her head and saw that it was a prickly weed. She untied the weed that was wrapped around her legs and continued to move forward.
At the top of the cliff, A Tao and several other people belonging to the Sixth Princess were standing there.
They looked at the time and calculated that Gu Qingyuan would be arriving soon.
Ah Tao glanced down the cliff.
You couldn't see the bottom at a glance, and white mist was rising from below. Not to mention the two children, even adults would be scared to the point of trembling legs if they saw it.
The two children were hanging there, I wonder if they were scared silly.
Ah Tao said to herself, you were the ones who provoked the Sixth Princess first.
Finally, after waiting for an unknown amount of time, a little light appeared in front of them. It was Gu Qingyuan coming alone.
After seeing Gu Qingyuan, Ah Tao said, "Young Master Gu has kept us waiting for so long."
There was a strange face in front of him. Gu Qingyuan frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I'm here. Where are you?"
She looked around and found that the two children were not there. She said angrily, "How dare you play tricks on me?"
Seeing that she was angry, Ah Tao said slowly, "Don't worry, Master Gu, the person is here."
Gu Qingyuan pushed A Tao away and took two steps forward.
But at this moment, she heard some faint sounds.
"Mother, save me!"
