Bab 304: Li Xiao's Origin (3)

However, not long after he returned to the court, the Great General was suddenly convicted and his residence was raided.

He was able to escape for a short time because he wasn't part of the family.

When he snuck into the Great General's residence that day, he discovered that the family was in trouble. He only saved his dying mother and Qing'er, who was ordered by his elder sister to come out of the palace to check on the situation.

In the once glorious Great General's mansion, some people wanted to kill the prince. 

His mother told him to escape with Qing'er and live a peaceful life.

But how could he…

During the two months he had been on the run, it was hatred that kept them going.

The last time he was on the run, he found two corpses that looked similar to him and Qing'er at the bottom of the cliff.

So he used them to make it seem like he and Qing'er were dead.
