Chapter 1111

Haa~

Haa~

Heavy, ragged breathing kept coming from Hongchan's mouth.

Sweat dampened the temples of her long hair on both sides.

Leaning behind a wall, Hongchan covered her shoulder with one hand, bright red blood seeping through her fingers.

Luoyang is very big.

This was the biggest city Hongchan had ever seen in her life.

It was also the most prosperous city.

Even if she loathed him in her heart, Empress Dowager Dong still understood that people couldn't be pushed too hard.

From a young age, she had witnessed with her own eyes her father and mother being chained by the Xianbei people, treated like livestock, working all day long but never getting enough to eat.

On a day when winter was approaching.

When the young Hongchan woke up in the morning, she saw a scene she would never forget in her life.

Her father and mother both lay in a pool of blood.

They had cut their wrists with a piece of broken stone.

The blood had already coagulated, and the withered grass beneath them had sucked up the blood, looking like withered grass burning red.

That day, she didn't even know how old she was.

Curled up beside the corpses that had completely lost their warmth, she only remembered that only her tears were warm, and everything else was cold.

The Xianbei herdsmen discovered the corpses of her father and mother.
