My Princess Has Been Reborn

The night in Hequ County is quite quiet. It is not the quietness of being forced to set a curfew, but the silence of the whole county falling asleep without the hustle and bustle of feasting, feasting, singing and dancing.

Lu Qipei and Qi Bo walked on the street, not in such a hurry as when they came, but on the way back, the two of them were not in a hurry.

There is a cool night wind blowing in the early summer, and when you look up, you can see a few bright stars in the sky. Everything indicates that the next day will be sunny and good, and it also makes people feel relaxed unconsciously.

The two walked quietly in the night for a long time, and the outline of the county government office could already be seen from a distance.

Qi Bo finally couldn't help but asked: "The young master met everyone today, what is the meaning of the twist?"

Lu Qipei relaxed his shoulders, looked up at the starry sky above, and did not lower his head when he heard the words: "Uncle Qi, still don't understand?"

Qi Bo was silent when he heard the words, and his forward steps stopped slowly, and his eyes looking at Lu Qipei became more and more serious.However, Lu Qipei seemed confident, and after realizing that Qi Bo's footsteps had stopped, she finally stopped and looked away.

In the night, the two looked at each other, only the bright moon in the sky sprinkled the cold moonlight, making it difficult to see the expression hidden in the darkness for a while.

After a long time, Qi Bo finally spoke again, with a bit of astringency in his voice: "Young master, do you know what you are doing?"

Lu Qipei narrowed his eyes and said in a flat tone, "Of course I know."

As soon as the words fell, she felt a tightness in her throat, and an old and thin hand suddenly pinched her slender neck.Qi Bo's movements were swift and violent. Although his hands were old, they were not lacking in strength. It seemed that he could break the slender neck of his hand in an instant.

Lu Qipei was not in a panic, she opened her eyes and still looked at Qi Bo, taking in all the resentment in his eyes.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but the old hand never tightened.Finally, with Qi Bo's eyes gradually dimming, he slowly let go: "Young Master, you know that your choice like this is betrayal!"

The neck was loosened, but there was still a slight discomfort in the throat, Lu Qipei wanted to cough but held back.She stood with her hands behind her back, still looking calm: "What have I betrayed? Family feud? Or ambition?"

Qibo looked at her, his turbulent emotions gradually calmed down, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "What does the young master think?"

Lu Qipei chuckled suddenly when he heard the words: "Look, you still call me the young master. Since it is the young master, there will naturally be a master above, and the young master who can choose to betray is still recognized by you, which is enough to prove that The so-called master is not that important."

Qi Bo stopped talking, as if he had tacitly agreed to something, but stubbornly wanted to wait for an explanation.

Lu Qipei didn't play tricks either, she casually pointed to the surrounding houses: "Qi Bo, look, what's wrong with this peaceful and prosperous world?" She said, pointing back and forth between the two of them: "Still, you and I What's so bad about your current life? What urges you to destroy all of this? Is it hatred? But the world's affairs are dominated by winners and losers. Since you have chosen to fight, what is there to resent?"

Qibo obviously couldn't be moved by her words.There are thousands of truths in the world, and there are far more people who can speak well than Lu Qipei, but those big truths are just the words of irrelevant people, and only when the knife falls on oneself will it feel pain.

Seeing his indifferent appearance, Lu Qipei knew that it was impossible for Qi Bo to change his attitude just because of his few words.So she changed the subject suddenly: "No matter what you think, Qi Bo, or what you think, after all, I don't want to participate in this meaningless fight."

Only then did Qi Bo speak, with a sneer: "You have seen these talents showdown with me, and you just want to get them all out!"

Lu Qipei did not deny it, she nodded calmly: "Then Qi Bo, are you going to kill me?"

As soon as these words came out, the air seemed to be stagnant again, and even the originally cool night wind seemed to add a little bit of chill.

Lu Qipei hid his hand behind his back, clenched his fist and then let go, but he was not as nervous as he imagined.After all, Qi Bo had chosen to give up when he was furious before, so it didn't make sense to kill him again because of his few words.

Sure enough, Qi Bo didn't move. He looked at Lu Qipei, frowning tightly.

Lu Qipei gradually lost interest in talking, turned around and walked towards the county government.After only two steps, I heard Qi Bo say behind me: "My young master has been reading sage books since I was a child, and I like to reason with me, so I will ask my young master. As a child, it is unfilial to disobey your parents. You, my young master, are not filial." For a... woman, can you feel at ease by doing this?"

Hearing this, Lu Qipei couldn't help but chuckled, without turning his head: "My mother has passed away long ago. As for him, he didn't give birth to me or raise me. Why should I care about him?!" That life was paid off in the previous life.

The voice fell in the night wind, and the person had already entered the county government office, leaving the old man standing outside for half the night.

The night was full of stars, and the next day was indeed a fine day.

The small town of Hequ County really has nothing to miss, plus Lu Qipei has been away for many days, and he misses Qi Yang deeply in his heart. After all, he resigned from the kindness of the magistrate of Hequ County, and brought two small officials from Dali Temple to reunite And set foot on the road back to Beijing.

In early summer, when the coldness of spring recedes, the sun is warm on the body.This kind of weather is much better than other seasons for traveling. In addition, the Hequ is not too far from the capital. If Lu Qipei hadn't been in a hurry on the way back, this time the trip would have been a breeze for the two little officials. It was a good expatriate experience.

Although the Hequ is not far away, it will take three or four days to travel to the capital. The weather was good for the first two days, and it was convenient for Lu Qipei and others to travel.Unexpectedly, on the third day of the trip, the weather changed suddenly, and a heavy rain disrupted the itinerary.

Lu Qipei sat in front of the window of the posthouse somewhat depressed, watching the heavy rain outside, and sighed melancholy——she had calculated the time originally, she just needed to let the carriage go faster, and it might not be too late to reach the capital before the city gate closed, but Tonight is enough to rush to Huguo Temple.

Counting the days, Qi Yang's fasting at Huguo Temple is coming to an end.It was agreed to go to see her in two days before, but due to the delay, I didn't even go to see her once.Occasionally, Her Highness the Princess is cautious, and she completely misses the appointments she promised her. She is afraid that she will lose her temper after returning home. Lu Qipei does not want to face the cold face of Her Highness the Princess at all!

Thinking of this, Lu Qipei frowned at the heavy rain outside the window.The two accompanying officials didn't think the heavy rain was in the way. In fact, they had been in a hurry for the past two days, and they were feeling tired. It's good to have a rest now that the rain is blocking the road.

A small official came forward with tea, handed a cup to Lu Qipei, and persuaded: "Your Excellency, don't worry, the summer rain comes and goes quickly, it seems to be falling heavily now, so I can't tell It stopped after two hours."

Lu Qipei nodded when he heard the words, and dealt with the little official for a few words, then turned around and still stared at the heavy rain outside.

There is nothing wrong with what the little official said. There is a lot of rain in spring and summer, but the heavy rain often does not last long.Lu Qipei simply sat by the window and waited for the rain to stop. In the end, he waited for a whole day. Although the rain was light, it did not stop one after another.

In the evening, the trip was not allowed, so I had no choice but to stay overnight in the posthouse.

Lu Qipei was already a little restless after waiting all day, so when allocating guest rooms at night, she pulled Yicheng and asked: "Today, it's raining endlessly. According to what Yicheng sees, it might stop tomorrow?"

Yicheng is not young, and has stayed here for decades, so he has a good understanding of the weather here.Hearing this, he looked out at the sky and said: "It's hard to say that there will be rain in this season, and there will be some in the next two or three days. I heard that my lord is going back to Beijing to return to his life. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay in this posthouse for a while." Two days is fine. If you are in a hurry, you may have to travel in the rain."

But that being said, as far as Yicheng sees, official business should not be in a hurry, didn't you see that the two petty officials treated them with peace of mind?Only the chief officer seemed a little anxious, and it seemed that it was mostly for personal matters.

Yi Cheng had seen all kinds of people, but his eyes were vicious, Lu Qipei didn't say anything after hearing this, but had silently made a decision in his heart.

After that, I slept peacefully all night, and when I woke up the next morning, before I opened my eyes, I heard the patter of rain outside the window.

Lu Qipei got up and opened the window, and sure enough, he saw that the light rain outside had not stopped, and a lot of rain had accumulated in the courtyard overnight.Looking at it like this, if the carriage wants to go on the road, it can't even be done simply after the rain stops. At least remember to wait for half a day and wait for the road to dry before it can go.

Returning home is like an arrow, I don't have the patience to wait forever, and I am afraid that I will go back to Beijing after waiting for Qi Yang.Lu Qipei closed the window, turned around and changed into a comfortable riding outfit. After breakfast, he put on a coir raincoat and wanted to go out on horseback.

Seeing this, the two little officials were a little panicked, and when they went up to say something, they were interrupted by Lu Qipei waving his hand: "I'm in a hurry to go back to Beijing because I have a private matter, and there is rain blocking the way this time, so it's okay for the two of you to stay here and wait for the rain to stop." Righteousness. You don’t have to worry about the Dali Temple, wait for the rain to stop before you go back with the documents, no one will blame you.”

After saying this, leaving everyone alone, Lu Qipei left in the rain with only one attendant.

This post house is actually not far from the capital, and it only takes more than half a day to travel by horse-drawn carriage, and it will only be faster to ride a horse.Even though it was difficult to travel in rainy weather, Lu Qipei, who set off early in the morning, rushed to Huguo Temple on horseback in the afternoon.

After asking the monks in the temple, Lu Qipei felt relieved when he learned that Princess Qi Yang had not returned to Beijing.

Qi Yang fasted and lived in a wing room in the backyard of Huguo Temple.It was not the first time for Lu Qipei to come back to Huguo Temple, he didn't need someone to lead the way, so he went there by himself.During the period, I naturally met many guards and servants, but seeing that it was the son-in-law, no one dared to stop him.

Lu Qipei traveled unimpeded all the way, and when he reached outside Qi Yang's residence, he had already taken off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat.She casually handed it to the maid guarding outside Qiyang Gate, straightened her slightly damp robe, and asked, "How is Your Highness these days?"

The maid leaned over and replied: "Go back to the son-in-law, Your Highness is well, and is taking a nap at this time."

Lu Qipei actually wanted to ask himself about the delay in the future, has His Highness ever been angry?But after thinking about it, I was still too embarrassed to ask the maid, so I just nodded and said, "Then I'll go in and have a look."

The princess consort and husband and wife love each other, since no one stopped her, Lu Qipei carefully opened the door and walked in.

I saw the house was limp, one big and one small were cuddling each other, sleeping soundly with the sound of rain.
