Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Cui Qiyan was searching for people all over the capital, but Yunling knew nothing about it. At this time, she had arrived in Yangzhou.

In early spring, Yangzhou is like a flower bud waiting to bloom. It has accumulated the energy of the whole winter and is just waiting for the moment to bloom. In the Jiangnan water town, Wu Nong talks softly and the gentle breeze blows on the face, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Yunling rented a small house from Ya Ren, with three rooms and a small yard. There were large rose flowers planted in front of the door. The flowers would bloom in two months.

She spent a day cleaning the house, and then went to the market to buy some necessities. Looking at the brand-new house, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled with satisfaction.

She will start a new life here from now on.

There was a knock on the door. Yunling turned around and saw a woman in her twenties standing outside with a little boy of four or five years old.

The woman looked at her and was slightly startled, "Are you new here?"

Yunling put down her rolled-up sleeves, walked over and said, "Yes, who is this sister-in-law?"

The woman smiled and pointed to the house to the west, "I belong to the house next door. I heard something moving here and came over to take a look. I didn't expect it to be such a beautiful girl."

"How many people are in your family?" The woman looked into the courtyard.

"I live here alone. Please ask my sister-in-law to take care of me in the future."

The woman couldn't believe it, "You're a girl living alone? Where is your family?"

Yunling was silent for a moment, "In a disaster year, I got separated from my family, and now I am the only one left."

"It's so pathetic," the woman covered her mouth lightly, her eyes full of sympathy, "My husband's family name is Tian. From now on, if you are of any use, just shout out, and we will definitely help if we can.

Even those who can't help can give you advice. It is really not easy for you, a young girl, to make a living on your own. "

In fact, Yunling had saved a lot of money before, plus what Meng Dong and the others gave her and the eldest lady when she left, so it was not difficult to live a leisurely life. But facing the woman's kindness, she still expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Sister-in-law Tian."

"Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. You're welcome, girl," Sister-in-law Tian asked again, "After talking for so long, I still don't know your name?"

"My surname is Dong and my name is Jiafu."

Now that he has left the Dingguo Palace, the name Yunling should also be returned. In this place where no one knew her, she decided to use her own name.

"This name is really nice. Just like a girl, she has aura."

"Sister-in-law Tian is overly praised."

"Mom..." The little boy felt bored and took Sister Tian's hand and shook it, "Let's go home."

Sister-in-law Tian glanced down at him, then quickly raised her head and said to Dong Jiafu: "This child can be quiet for a while. You are busy first. We are going back first. If you need help, don't be polite."

Dong Jiafu smiled and nodded, "Sister-in-law Tian, ​​go slowly. I'll ask you to come in and sit down after I finish cleaning up another day."

"Good good-"

After watching Sister-in-law Tian and the little boy enter the house next door, Dong Jiafu closed the door and returned to the house.

When Cui Qiyan came out of the palace after finishing his work that day, he saw Ji Bai standing outside the palace gate waiting for him anxiously.

"Why did you come here?"

Ji Bai hurriedly ran over, with a hint of excitement in his voice, "Your Majesty, there is news about Yunling!"

Cui Qiyan's breath was stagnant, "Where is she?"

"Today, an innkeeper came over and said that on the day the rebels entered the city, Yunling stayed in their hotel for one night.

I left early the next morning. "

the next day? By then the rebels were all under control.

"She's still alive!" Cui Qiyan's eyes turned red.

After learning that she was missing, he was on tenterhooks day and night, having trouble sleeping and eating, for fear of hearing some news that he couldn't bear. Now that he knew she was safe and sound, he felt alive again.

"Did that guy say where she went?" Cui Qiyan asked.

Ji Bai shook his head, "I asked, but he doesn't know."

Cui Qiyan was a little disappointed when he heard this, and heard Ji Bai follow up: "However, the guy said that there was a coachman accompanying Yunling at that time, and he heard her call the man 'Uncle Ge'."

A coachman named Ge? Cui Qiyan frowned.

"Your Majesty," Ji Bai seemed hesitant, "After hearing these words, I thought of someone, but it's unlikely to be him..."

"who?"

"There is a man in the house who usually works as a coachman. It just so happens that his surname is Ge. But I met him the day before yesterday. If that man was him, Yunling should have come back with him long ago."

Cui Qiyan's face darkened, "Where is that guy now?"

"I gave him money to go back."

Cui Qiyan got on his horse and said, "Bring him to Chenglin Pavilion."

After saying that, he rode his horse in the direction of Duke Dingguo's mansion.

Ji Bai got the order and rushed to the inn immediately.

When Ji Bai returned to Chenglin Pavilion with his clerk, Cui Qiyan kicked Bitao and others out and questioned the clerk in detail.

The boy's answer was basically the same as what Ji Bai said. Cui Qiyan asked again: "Do you still remember the appearance of that coachman?"

"Remember, remember..." The man nodded like a fool.

Cui Qiyan signaled to Ji Bai.

Ji Bai understood and turned around to go out. When he came back, there was a man behind him.

The individual is none other than Lao Ge.

Cui Qiyan pointed at Lao Ge and said to the waiter: "Look back, do you recognize this person?"

The waiter turned around in fear and saw Old Ge Hou saying incoherently: "It's him, it's him, the coachman——"

"Are you sure you read it correctly?" Cui Qiyan narrowed his eyes.

"When a villain works in an inn, everyone who sees him will habitually write it down and never mistake it." The waiter said firmly.

Cui Qiyan raised his hand and asked Ji Bai to take the guy out.

Cui Qiyan and Lao Ge were the only two people left in the hall.

Lao Ge saluted calmly, "Young man, I have met the crown prince."

"Are you my father's old subordinate?"

For those who have been soldiers and fought on the battlefield, even if they take off their clothes, they still have a distinctive aura about them.

"When I was young, I was just an unknown soldier. I had to be taken care of by the Duke to work in the mansion."

Cui Jun values ​​​​people who have gone through life and death with him. There are many veterans in the Duke's Mansion. Most of them were injured on the battlefield and had a difficult life, so he arranged for them to come to the manor and give them a job.

Cui Qiyan knew this and determined that Lao Ge was one of them.

"You heard it just now. Tell me, why were you with Yunling that day when the rebels entered the city? Where is she now?"

"I have nothing to say, little one."

Cui Qiyan stood up and said, "You have followed my father, and I don't want to embarrass you. I must find Yunling, and you'd better tell everything you know as soon as possible."

"My lord, please forgive me, I don't know how to say anything." Lao Ge bit his tongue and refused to reveal a word.

"You!" Cui Qiyan clenched his fist. If it were anyone else, he could have tortured him, but Lao Ge came back from the battlefield.

Bing, he respects such people and will not torture them.
