For the thanks she said, there was no desire in the man's eyes.

"No, it's easy to do. However, it's not the time yet. The more night it gets, the more guards there are in the castle. You need to wait until tomorrow afternoon."

Huangfu Liyue nodded.

"Well, no problem."

But the next moment, she was in trouble again.

She has no place to take shelter and rest. If she stays here, she might be discovered by patrolling soldiers.

The man saw her concerns and said, "If you don't mind, you can go to where I live."

Having said that, he took a look at her attire, lowered his head in embarrassment, and added: "However, you may not be used to living in my place."

Huangfu Liyue understood what she meant.

With his attire, his residence must not be much better.

"It's nothing that I'm not used to. I'm already very grateful that you can take me in."

Seeing her say that, the man's eyes became more confident, and he said directly, "Come with me."

Afterwards, she followed the man and walked deep into the road.

The further she went in, the more curious she became.

Why are there patrolling soldiers everywhere in the castle, but not here?

Rather, how could there be a man dressed like this in the castle?

...

After a few minutes.

The man took her to a residence.

There was a lock hanging on the door of the residence. The man walked to the base of the wall and skillfully opened a piece of the wall. A big hole immediately appeared at the base of the wall.

"Go in from here."

Huangfu Liyue was stunned for a moment, then got in.

The man followed her in and sealed the wall again.

The wall was already cracked, so after it was sealed, nothing could be seen.

After Huangfu Liyue entered, she quickly looked around.

To put it bluntly, it is a residence, but to put it bluntly, it is actually a dilapidated courtyard.

The size of the yard is small, and the entire outline can be seen clearly at a glance.

There are no furnishings in the courtyard, only a few old quilts on the ground in the empty courtyard.

On the quilt, there were still three people sitting.

Three young men.

When the three of them saw Huangfu Liyue coming, they all showed vigilant eyes.

The man who brought Huangfu Liyue here immediately said to them, "Don't be nervous, I brought her for refuge."

The three people let go of their vigilance and continued to arrange the quilts on the ground, apparently preparing to rest.

The man who led Huangfu Liyue pointed to an old quilt in the corner of the yard.

"That's my place, you can make do with it tonight."

Huangfu Liyue looked around.

In the whole yard, each of them has only one quilt.

"I rest in your place, what about you?"

The man smiled.

"I'm fine, I'm in good health and I'm antifreeze."

Looking at his thin body, Huangfu Liyue refused: "I'm not sleepy, you go to sleep."

After speaking, she found a corner and sat down.

The man didn't say much, returned to his seat, and lay down wrapped in a quilt.

He is injured now and needs a good rest.

...

The weather in Country E is different from Jiangcheng, and the nights are extremely cold.

Huangfu Liyue sat on the cold ground in the courtyard, shivering for a few times.

"Ash!"

She covered her mouth and couldn't help sneezing.

This sneeze also woke up several people who were sleeping.

The four men looked up at her at the same time.

She quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional, you guys go to sleep, I won't make any noise anymore."

Several men looked at each other.

Then, a man who was closer to her got up directly, threw the quilt on her body in front of her feet, turned around and went to the base of the wall, broke through the wall and got out.

Huangfu Liyue looked at the old quilt at her feet, and was about to call the man to stop, but he had already left.

She reached out to touch the thin bedding and felt the kindness of these strangers.

The man who led her here before also walked towards her with the quilt in his arms and gave her the quilt generously.

"Don't be brave."

Huangfu Liyue smiled ashamedly, stood up and said: "It's really unnecessary, I've already troubled you all by coming here, I'll go and call back the person who gave me the quilt just now."

The man stopped and said: "Don't go, you can't find him, you don't have to feel embarrassed, we four big men, we can't let a woman suffer from the cold."

He is thin and thin, but the words he speaks give people a sense of tallness.

"Thank you."

Huangfu Liyue was not a hypocritical person either, she just sat down and covered her body with the quilt.

She looked up at the enthusiastic man and asked, "By the way, I don't know your name yet."

The man blurted out: "My name is Ji...you can just call me Xihe."

"Xihe?"

"Ah."

After the man nodded lightly, he took the quilt and went to sleep on the side.

Huangfu Liyue looked around the dilapidated courtyard, wondering where it was.

These few people don't look like prisoners, but they seem to be treated worse than prisoners.

At least the prisoner still has a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but the yard even has cracks on the walls, and there are several big holes in the roof.

The few men here are not very old and seem to be her age.

What did they do wrong to be locked up here?

Thinking of these, she gradually fell asleep.

...

early morning.

The queen received the news that Huangfu Liyue had escaped.

The soldiers and maids guarding Huangfu Liyue knelt on the ground, tremblingly waiting for the queen to punish them.

Looking at the kneeling soldier in front of her, the queen said leisurely, "How did you escape?"

"Yes, it escaped through the window..."

The queen narrowed her eyes and said in disbelief, "That's the fifth floor."

The maid lay on the ground and replied tremblingly: "Yes, she jumped down using the bed sheet."

The queen obviously didn't want to hear these details, and directly ordered: "Block the exit of the castle, search the entire castle, be sure to find her, if you can't find her, your lives, don't take it!"

The soldiers and maids kowtowed again and again.

"Yes! Queen!"

The Queen's gaze grew colder.

At such a critical moment, Huangfu Liyue actually escaped, and her plan was interrupted.

Just in case, she had to ask Shao Qinglian to speed up the process.

...

the other side.

As soon as Mu Jingchen opened his eyes, he saw Shao Qinglian sitting by the bed, looking at him ambiguously.

"woke up."

She was very shameless: "Should we carry out the Queen's mission?"

Mu Jingchen sat up and got out of bed neatly.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"The queen has drawn up an edict for me. As long as I successfully give birth to an heir, she will give my heir's mother the title she deserves, and let me live in the castle and enjoy everything I deserve."

"Do you believe it?"

"Believe, why don't you believe it?"

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Mu Jingchen didn't say much.

"Since you have decided, I have nothing to say, but I am not interested right now."

After he finished speaking, he picked up his coat and left the room.

Shao Qinglian stood where she was, with dark eyes.

She could tell that Mu Jingchen didn't want to have anything to do with her.

But she will never let go of such a good opportunity.
