The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

Chapter 347: Finally Free

It's night, the moon and stars are sparse.

In Hongyun Valley, inside the Dragon Palace, two figures walked out from somewhere in the palace. They hid under the cover of night, dodging rounds of patrols, and came to a hidden corner somewhere in the palace. Then, they climbed out silently.

After leaving the palace, they no longer had to hide so carefully. However, in order to avoid being discovered by others, they still moved very quickly.

The moonlight fell, dragging the two quickly moving figures on the ground very long. One of the figures was tall and slender, while the other was thin and a head shorter than the figure next to him.

The two people who sneaked out of the palace were Bai Zhimo Lintian and his mother.

During the day, Bai Zhi mentioned that she wanted to leave the Dragon Clan with Mo Lintian, but unexpectedly, she acted so quickly and fled the palace with her son at night.

That's right, this escape plan was planned by Bai Zhi. After all, she has lived in the Dragon Clan for more than 20 years. Naturally, she knows the terrain of Hongyun Valley better than Mo Lintian, who has only been in the Dragon Clan for a few days.

Moreover, she hadn't done nothing for the past twenty years. The Dragon Emperor wanted her to stay in the Dragon Clan obediently, but how could that be possible? Her son was missing, and as a mother, how could she not go looking for him?

Since she couldn't leave the Dragon Clan openly through the main gate, Bai Zhi could only find another way and dig a path to the outside by herself.

That’s right, dig.

Twenty years ago, Bai Zhi discovered that almost no one would go to the bamboo forest in the southwest corner of Hongyun Valley, so she set her sights there. Almost every afternoon, she would find an opportunity to stay in the bamboo forest for an hour or two.

Of course, her purpose was not to fool the Dragon Emperor by saying that she liked the bamboo forest and wanted to go there to relax; but to secretly carry out her escape plan and dig a tunnel to the outside world.

The digging lasted for twenty years. When she saw that the tunnel was about to be completed and she was about to succeed, her son came back at this moment!

Bai Zhi no longer cared about the tunnel. Her mind and eyes were filled with her son who had been lost and found again. She even thought that as long as she could be with her son, she could stay in the dragon clan forever.

But what Bai Zhi didn't expect was that after just a few days, Mo Lintian actually proposed to leave the Dragon Clan, which reminded her of the tunnel she had forgotten.

Soon, the mother and son arrived at the bamboo forest in the southwest corner, with Baizhi leading the way.

The night wind blew through the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves swirled in the air and fell to the ground. Suddenly, Bai Zhi, who was walking in front, stopped, and Mo Lintian also stopped. He looked up and saw a small wooden house in front of him, and there was a simple fence around it.

"This wooden house was built for me by your father," Bai Zhi said, with a complicated expression on her face. "Actually, your father is really good to me. However, this kindness is not unique, just like I am not his only wife, and he doesn't only like me."

Mo Lintian didn't say anything, but just followed Bai Zhi silently into the cabin.

At that time, Mo Lintian didn't know why Bai Zhi brought him to this wooden house, nor did he know where the place where his mother could leave the dragon clan was that he had mentioned during the day.

Until Bai Zhi called him, "Tian'er, come and help me move this bed."

Mo Lintian walked over and easily moved the bed. Then, he saw his mother walk to the place where the bed was originally placed, squat down, and lift up the two wooden boards in the middle, revealing a dark hole.

"This is..." Mo Lintian looked at his mother in surprise.

Bai Zhi smiled gently, raised her hand to tuck the loose hair behind her ear, and said softly, "This is the tunnel I dug."

At this moment, Mo Lintian finally understood one thing. Perhaps he had underestimated Bai Zhi from the very beginning.

His mother has never been a gentle and pitiful little white rabbit. She is just hiding her edge temporarily.

His biological father, the Dragon Emperor, probably never really knew his wife. He would never have dreamed that he had someone build a cabin for his wife, but his wife dug a tunnel in the cabin just to escape from the dragon clan and escape from him.

"Tian'er, let's go! Leave the Dragon Clan and go find my daughter-in-law." Bai Zhi's eyes were shining and she was eager to try.

"Okay." Mo Lintian nodded. He also couldn't wait to meet Su Qingning.

Next, the two of them jumped into the tunnel one after the other. Before Mo Lintian left, he used his spiritual power to move the bed he had moved over to cover the tunnel.

In the dim tunnel, Mo Lintian took out a night pearl to illuminate.

Because Bai Zhi dug this tunnel for her own escape, she didn't dig it very big, just enough for her to travel with him. The tall Mo Lintian could only bend his body slightly to barely travel with him.

Seeing her son hunching over and struggling to move forward, Bai Zhi felt distressed. "Tian'er, I'm sorry! I prepared this tunnel for myself, so it's a little small."

"It doesn't matter." Mo Lintian shook his head gently. "As long as I can leave the Dragon Clan, I can even kneel and crawl on the ground, let alone bend down."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi stopped talking. She just silently quickened her pace, hoping to leave the tunnel quickly and let her son suffer less.

She had spent twenty years digging this tunnel, and even if they walked as fast as they could, it still took them three or four hours to reach the end.

Bai Zhi picked up the shovel on the ground and said to Mo Lintian, "Tian'er, wait a moment. Let me dig a little higher, and then we can get out."

Mo Lintian: “…”

He suspected his mother was treating him like a child.

Ugh!

Mo Lintian sighed helplessly in his heart, then reached out and took the shovel from Bai Zhi's hand, and by the way, stuffed the night pearl into his mother's hand.

"Let me do it!"

After saying that, Mo Lintian switched positions with Bai Zhi, then started digging upwards with a shovel.

Mo Lintian was strong and dug faster than Bai Zhi. It only took him half an hour to dig the tunnel.

At this time, the sky was already getting light. A ray of morning light shone into the tunnel from the hole dug by Mo Lintian, and also into Bai Zhi's heart, allowing her to sweep away the haze of more than 20 years, and feel that the rest of her life was full of hope.

Mo Lintian climbed out first, and then pulled Bai Zhi up.

Bai Zhi looked back at the Hongyun Valley not far away, then took a deep breath of the air around her. The smell of freedom made her feel happy both physically and mentally, and also made her feel extremely relaxed.

"Tian'er, we are finally free." Bai Zhi said.

"Yeah." Mo Lintian nodded. He looked at his mother, who had a relaxed smile on her face, and said very seriously, "Mom, you are free."
