Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 462 Running Away From Home (2)

The two little ones looked at each other, and except for seeing the reflection of each other in their eyes, what they saw was a future filled with bleakness.

"Bro~ther, what should we do now?" Yueyue pouted, her voice trembling like she was whining to her elder brother.

Qiqi couldn’t help but shiver at the goosebumps on his body, and rolled his peachy eyes, "How would I know what to do? With mother looking like that, we’re as good as dead."

"Bro~ther, think again, you must come up with something, oh!" Her eyes shimmered with hope as she admired her brother who was born just a tiny bit earlier than she was.

Qiqi looked at his sister and instantly slumped his head, facing the inevitable torture akin to that inflicted by heavenly beings, and after an inner struggle, the scales of his heart tipped towards his sister’s side. He gritted his teeth and pretended to be profound, nodding, "Sister, let’s sneak out of the Imperial Palace." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Yueyue blinked, not quite sure she heard him right, so she stretched out her little hand to clear her ear and asked, "Brother, what did you just say?"

"You heard me right, we sneak out of the palace, and that way we can avoid mother’s torture. After we’re gone for a while, mother will miss us, and she naturally won’t punish us anymore," Qiqi said earnestly to his sister.

Yueyue tilted her head, her little brows furrowed, pouting her lips, "That doesn’t sound good, if we get caught and brought back, our fate will be a hundred times worse than death. Even father won’t be able to save us then." Thinking of such a brutal image, her tiny body shivered like a sieve.

"Fool, of course we can’t let them catch us," Qiqi rolled his eyes and looked disdainfully towards the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.

Yueyue saw her brother acting like an adult with crossed arms, acting all important, and snorted scornfully. Glancing at the state of their mother, she stopped hesitating and nodded vigorously, "Brother, let’s leave the palace together."

"Okay, then let’s go back and pack our things quickly, and slip out while it’s still light," he said.

"Mhm, I’ll listen to brother," Yueyue flashed two little tiger teeth, smiling brightly at her brother.

The two tiny figures disappeared in a flash, returning to their own rooms, sent all the Palace Maids away, and started rummaging through their belongings. After a while, they prepared a small bundle. Yueyue was pleased with her handiwork, slung the bundle on her back, and hurried out of the bedroom. She’d just taken a few steps before dashing back in, grabbed a few small vials from under the bed, threw them into the bundle, and whirled out like a tornado.

"Brother, brother." When she reached Qiqi’s bedroom, she poked out half of her little body and quietly called out when she saw no one else inside, her big eyes nervously scanning the surroundings, standing guard at the door for her brother.

Dugu Qi heard his sister’s voice and hastened his actions, strapping his bundle over his shoulder and rushing out of the bedroom. Seeing Yueyue craning her neck looking outside, he came forward to take her hand, "Yueyue, let’s go."

The two little figures quickly darted through the Imperial Palace and soon vanished from it.

From a hidden place, Wan Hun and Wan Hun shook their heads helplessly. They exchanged glances, leaving one to follow in secret, while the other went to report to the Emperor and Empress.

"What, those two little rascals are getting bolder by the day, learning to run away from home at such a young age. When we catch them, we must certainly skin them," Feng Xuxu said through gritted teeth after hearing about their escape.

Dugu Chen sat at the side, his brows slightly furrowed, and looked towards Wan Hun, "Do you know where they went after leaving the palace?"
