Jiang Xue had no choice but to stretch out her hand and pinch Lu Qiongshuang's cheek gently, and said softly: "Good boy, go back to sleep first."

"Don't go back!" When Lu Qiongshuang heard the word "go back," she immediately sat upright from Jiang Qibin's arms like a cat with hairy fur, staring at the uninhabited place in front of her with eyes wide open, while waving her arms. Bian growled, "I don't want to go back!!!"

After a moment, she collapsed again like a drunkard, and suddenly stretched out her hand to pull Jiang Qibin's face in front of her, with half a pool of tears filling her red eyes.

Jiang Qibin was startled by her sudden movement. The blush on his face suddenly rose from his ears until his whole handsome white face turned red.

Jiang Qibin suddenly realized something again, and looked at Jiang Xue with panic in his eyes.

Jiang Xue took a deep breath, reached out and tried to pry off Lu Qiongshuang's hand, but it still didn't move. She sighed, turned to Mo Lian and whispered to Mo Tian, ​​"Mo Lian, go borrow a car from the store, Mo Tian, ​​take it." My cousin helped me down."

Lu Qiongshuang struggled and refused to come down. Suddenly she started sobbing softly and said intermittently:

"I-I don't want to get married!"

"I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want any young master or marquis!"

"I don't want to stay in the capital anymore!"

"I, I don't want to be caught and married, run, run smash..."

"Xiao, Xiao Run smash..."

Lu Qiong opened her tongue, slid her fingers from Jiang Qibin's cheek to his earbone, and then gently picked it up.

Jiang Qibin's eyes suddenly widened and he stared blankly at the girl in his arms who kept mumbling.

"Xiao Runzi, take me back to the East China Sea."

The light in Jiang Qibin's eyes gradually dimmed.

Jiang Xue wanted to listen, but her brows furrowed more and more. Her strength was not as strong as Lu Qiongshuang's, let alone Lu Qiongshuang's drunkenness.

She turned her head slightly, with a worried look on her face, and looked at Jing Ye with pleading eyes.

Jing Ye's eyes met hers, and the original coldness in his eyes melted away a little. He stepped forward and pulled Lu Qiongshuang out with a little force, and then...

Throw it to the ground.

Jiang Xue looked at this scene in disbelief and hurriedly asked Mo Tian to help help Lu Qiongshuang stand up.

Lu Qiong was sitting crookedly on the ground, her upper body leaning on Jiang Xue's arms. Seeing Jiang Xue's face up close, she seemed to be sober.

She suddenly shed a lot of tears with unspeakable grievance and murmured: "But I can't leave, I can't, I can't ignore the Lu family, I can't, I can't leave now..."

Jiang Xue saw that she was already talking nonsense, but couldn't hold her back, so she could only gather the robe that she was wearing tightly, stretched out his hand, patted her back gently, and coaxed in a low voice.

"Don't be afraid Qiong Shuang, my cousin is here."

"No one can force you to marry, be good."

"You don't have to do anything you don't want to do."

"If you want to leave the capital, my cousin will take you away in a few days."

"If you want to go back to Donghai, when Zheng Run comes back, let him take you back to Donghai."

"As soon as Father's Longevity Festival is over, my cousin will go to the palace to request a decree so that you can go to the East China Sea in a legitimate way. You no longer have to run away from home secretly, and you don't have to worry about the disapproval of your uncle and aunt at home."

Jing Ye stood silently aside, his eyes lowered, making people wonder what he was thinking.

The moonlight illuminated the girl's figure in the courtyard softly and vaguely, and in a daze, he seemed to hear a similar soothing voice from back then.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

When Mo Tian rushed to the courtyard, Lu Qiongshuang had been coaxed to sleep by Jiang Xue's warm voice.

"Your Highness, the carriage is waiting outside the door."

"I know," Jiang Xue said softly, "Come over and help me lift my cousin up so that she can get into the car and fall asleep peacefully."

Mo Lian and Mo Tian nodded, took Lu Qiongshuang from Jiang Xue's arms, and put Lu Qiongshuang's arms on their shoulders. With a little force, they helped her up and walked slowly out of the courtyard.

Jiang Xue frowned as she watched the three of them go out, then turned around to call Jiang Qibin to drive.

Looking back, I didn't know when Jiang Qibin was kneeling upright on the bluestone tiles.

Jiang Xue frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Qibin kept his head lowered, and immediately kowtowed after hearing this, saying: "I cannot dissuade my cousin from drinking too much, which made her drunk. I have just offended my cousin several times. Please punish me."

Jiang Xue was slightly startled when she heard this, then chuckled and said, "I only saw her offending you."

"Qiong Shuang is drunk because she has been depressed for the past few days. It's not your fault. Get up quickly."

Jiang Qibin cupped his fists and saluted, and said firmly: "My dear lady, I have a daughter's body. It was my fault just now that I forgot to guard against men and women and overstepped the distinction between men and women. This is my crime. Please punish me, Your Highness."

Jiang Xue sighed helplessly and said: "I've only been out for a few days, don't become pedantic like those sour masters, Qiong Shuang has a straightforward and free nature, so she doesn't care about this at all.

If Qiong Shuang hears what you said, she will definitely be annoyed. Besides, she was the one who lost her temper when she was drunk. If I really punished you today, wouldn’t I ask her to wake up and feel guilty again?

Besides, when you come to me, you are not inferior to others. As Wu Anlang, there will be many opportunities to go to the battlefield and make achievements in the future. Is it impossible to become a prince and become a prime minister in one day? "

She stepped forward and gave her a weak hand. Jiang Qibin looked at her silently, with indescribable emotions on his face.

"The carriage is waiting outside. Drive quickly and return to the courtyard earlier so that she can have a peaceful sleep."

Jiang Qibin stood up, nodded, and asked: "Your Highness..."

Jiang Xue glanced around unnaturally and said, "I still have some things to do. You can go back without worries. The Prince Consort's Mansion is right there. I can still get lost."

Jiang Qibin glanced at Jing Ye, still a little worried, but seeing Jiang Xue's firm tone, he had no choice but to bow and leave first.

"Let's go." Jiang Xue didn't look at Jing Ye, she just said to the air, her voice was soft and faint, her face was calm, and she walked out of the courtyard.

The night is falling and dawn is approaching.

Jiang Xue never looked back along the way, but she could hear the footsteps following behind her unhurriedly. Step by step, it made her feel more at ease for no reason.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?" Jiang Xue suddenly stopped and let out an inaudible sigh.

The footsteps of the person behind him also froze, and it took a while before Jing Ye's hoarse voice was heard.

"Did the princess hate Xiao Qi that much back then?"

"I hate him so much that giving him a dagger is not enough. Do I have to take his life?"

The night wind was bleak, Jiang Xue stretched out her hand and caught a slowly falling dead leaf.

She tightened her palms tightly, and the fallen leaves were rough and slightly painful in her palms.

"Well," she said softly, "It's not that I don't want to hide it from you, but I think there's no need to lie to myself."

"I don't want to say something high-sounding today to prove my feelings," she turned back, her sad eyes slowly raised, but became more determined, "I'm sorry for you."
