The improved female villains regained their memories.

Suddenly, a cracking sound rang in her ears; something had exploded, followed by Xu Anlu's furious roar.

It seems like my hand has let go.

"Ah...ah..."

She waved her hands haphazardly, trying to grab something, but tripped over something and fell. She seemed to lose consciousness, or perhaps not; it just felt like a very long time had passed before she opened her eyes and could barely make out everything around her.

blood.

Then comes the fire.

Xu Anlu fell to the ground, struggled to crawl to her, and touched her cheek.

"Xiao Yin, wake up, wake up..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."

"Run, Xiao Yin, run away."

She touched her face; her hands were covered in blood.

His body was broken in half at the waist, leaving only his upper body.

"Aa ...

With a terrified scream, Xu Anyin woke up next to a pile of garbage, only to realize that she had had another nightmare.

Those were her past memories, and also the nightmares she couldn't escape.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: I Have Surpassed Myself

That was a long time ago.

At that time, Xu Anyin was having that nightmare.

The pain was so vivid, so clear, so clear. The feeling of touching Xu Anlu's cheek, the half of her body that had been blown apart, it all felt like it happened just yesterday.

She vomited several times, but because there was nothing in her stomach, she could only vomit bile.

She was afraid to sleep; her dreams were so vivid that she would vomit every time she tried to sleep.

No one was willing to take her in. Those uncles and elders who used to be close to her seemed to have suddenly become different people. They aided and abetted the evildoer, turning into wolves and helping that woman, Ling Yan'er, to capture her.

Only one man, Uncle Bo, took him in. He was a general who had followed in the footsteps of the late emperor and fought in battles, and was later promoted to general for his merits. He took Xu Anyin in and planned to escape with her.

However, according to the laws of the Great Yan Dynasty, one cannot easily move without permission. Uncle's family is all in the city, and he cannot flee with his entire family for Xu An'yin. All he can do is try to find a way to send Xu An'yin out of the city.

"Your Royal Highness."

In the dark alley at midnight, her uncle took her hand and said, "I have duties to perform, and my whole family is in the city. I cannot abandon them. I have already arranged a caravan. Tomorrow, you will hide in the coffin, and I will have them take you out of the city."

He then handed a bag of silver to Xu Anyin and said to her, "Your Highness, with the immortals in power, this is all I can do."

Xu Anyin left the city just like that.

After she left the city, traces of her uncle taking her in were discovered, and her entire family was killed, their property confiscated, and her uncle himself was torn apart by five horses and his body was made public.

The caravan members knew about this and planned to betray Xu Anyin so he could turn himself in. Xu Anyin overheard their conversation, slipped out of the caravan in the middle of the night, and fled into the mountains.

The money her uncle gave her was ultimately useless. With a nationwide warrant for her arrest, Xu Anyin dared not enter the city and could only hide in the mountains to barely survive.

That was a period of time that I will never forget.

Hatred, hardship, anger, sorrow, pain—countless emotions tormented Xu Anyin, causing her to grow and be tempered.

Now, she finally stood before the woman and told her:

"I have transcended myself, and I have transcended fear."

Snapped!

The sound of a finger breaking.

Ling Yan'er let out a painful scream, but Xiao Hua immediately covered her mouth from behind.

"Wa ...

Xu Anyin squatted down in front of her, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"Does it hurt a lot, Mother?"

Then, his expression changed.

"But do you know that my pain is a thousand times, ten thousand times greater than yours!"

It was an ordinary morning. The imperial kitchen made a new batch of pastries. Xu Anyin secretly went to try them and thought they tasted good, so he thought of taking them to his mother.

She excitedly stole the pastries and headed straight for her mother's palace. As soon as she entered, she called out, "Mother, the imperial kitchen has made some new pastries, please come and try them..."

nobody.

There were no servants either.

The entire palace was eerily quiet, with only faint sounds emanating from within.

Xu Anyin found it strange, because his father didn't like visiting his mother, so usually at this time, his mother would secretly wipe away tears in the palace, or chat with Eunuch Shi. This situation of being all alone was rare.

The bedroom door was tightly closed. Xu Anyin walked over and pushed it, but couldn't budge it.

She put her ear to the door and heard some sounds.

"Hmm, ah, um, ah..."

"?"

It sounded like the mother's voice, but it also seemed to carry the sound of a man's heavy breathing.

She noticed a hole in the door and curiously peered through it.

then…

Steam kept rising from Xu Anyin's head.

Mother, she...

She was with another man!

Xu Anyin's worldview has been shattered.

She couldn't accept that her own mother, the imperial concubine, was doing that kind of thing with another man.

Curiosity, shame, anger and other complex emotions intertwined in Xu An's heart, and he couldn't stop watching.

"Ah~"

With a long, drawn-out sound, the man looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, then glanced at Xu Anyin.

Xu Anyin was startled and lost his balance, dropping the plate of pastries he was holding to the ground.

The sounds inside suddenly stopped. Xu Anyin didn't have time to look again and turned around to run out in a panic.

"You did those things, didn't you? You clearly did them! I only glanced at you, and you were ready to kill me!"

Xu Anyin's face was contorted with rage as he broke off another of Ling Yan'er's fingers.

"Wa ...

Ling Yan'er had long lost her elegance; tears and snot streamed down her face, and she was no longer the dignified empress dowager she once was.

Xu Anyin showed no mercy and broke another finger, causing the other person's sobs to become even more intense.

"Xiao Yin, come here."

Ling Yan'er sat in her seat with a kind smile on her face and waved to her.

Xu Anyin walked over nervously, and Ling Yan'er hugged her and asked gently, "Xiao Yin, was it you who was peeking outside this morning?"

Xu Anyin lowered her head, feeling somewhat frightened, but remembering Ling Yan'er's usual teachings against lying, she nodded anyway: "Yes..."

"Did Xiaoyin see everything?"

"Ugh..."

"Why aren't you saying anything? Xiao Yin, don't lie to your mother, or she will be very sad."

"Ah!" Xu Anyin panicked immediately. "Mother, don't be sad. I will tell the truth."

"I see. Xiao Yin, tell your mother, did you see everything?"

"Ugh... Yes."

"Oh, I see."

In an instant, Ling Yan'er's voice turned cold.

Xu Anyin looked up blankly and saw her mother, whom she did not recognize at all.

"Oh, I see."

She grabbed her hair and slammed her head against the floor.

boom!

"Aa ...

Ling Yan'er let out a painful scream.

Xiao Hua had already stepped back to the side. Xu Anyin used his knee to press against her waist, grabbed her hair, and slammed her head hard against the ground.

"You did it! You did it all!"

Xu Anyin's eyes burned with fire as he kept chanting.

"I liked you so much, respected you so much, loved you so much, but you treated me like this. It's all your fault, all your fault!!"

Blood was almost embedded in the floor.

Xu Anyin felt his scalp being pulled, and could only painfully comply, forced to look up.

She forced her eyes open, only to see Ling Yan'er's ferocious face.

"Mother, I was wrong, it hurts so much, it hurts so much..."

"Really? I'm so sorry, Xiaoyin."

Ling Yan'er laughed and said, "Who told you to see it?"
