A cold dream is not a dream come true

"Oh, sir, our place is a brothel, why would there be female guests here, you must have made a mistake!" The old bustard's voice of explanation sounded from outside the door.

"The clues provided by the insider said that the two girls came to your Hongxiangyuan." A man said.

"What kind of girl does the official want? Our Hongxiangyuan has everything!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The officers and soldiers snapped.

The footsteps of the officers and soldiers were getting closer, and I was a little at a loss: "Luo Bing, hide quickly."

Prince Xi frowned and walked into the house, Mr. Yun Xin looked at us with a little deep meaning.Ling'er on the bed didn't know what happened, she looked around curiously.

Could it be that old man Zhao sold us?

Just as I was thinking, the door of the house was kicked open, and Prince Xi and I both shook nervously.

"There are so many people in this room." The officer and soldier in charge sneered.I secretly looked at these officers and soldiers, and found that they were not wearing the uniforms of Luoyang City.

Looks like they won't recognize me.But Prince Xi didn't dare to look up, after all, as a prince, she had a very high chance of being recognized by local officials.

The chief official became suspicious of Prince Xi who didn't dare to look up, he tilted his head to observe Prince Xi, "This is..."

Young Master Yun Xin took a step forward and interrupted the chief official: "Return to my lord, the two behind me are servants I brought from Dongzhu Kingdom."

"East Pearl Kingdom?" The chief official was taken aback, "Who are you?"

"Responding to my lord's words, I am Yunxin from Dongzhu Kingdom."

The chief official stroked his chin and looked at Yun Xin, and the soldier next to him said in a low voice, "My lord, I heard that Yun Xin is the prince of Dongzhu Kingdom."

"But... I heard people say that Prince Dongzhu is a woman..." The leading officers and soldiers shook their heads.

I saw Yun Xin smiled lightly, and took out a token from his bosom: "My lord, please look, this is the order of the prince of Dongzhu Kingdom. Yun is originally a woman, and this dress is just for convenience."

I was taken aback when I heard this.It turned out that Yun Xin was a woman, no wonder when I saw her just now, I felt that her lines were a little weak.

"My lord, I heard that the crown prince of Dongzhu Kingdom is a nosy woman, so let's withdraw." Xiao Bing whispered in the chief official's ear.

I glared at the talkative little soldier, then looked at Yun Xin, and found that she looked embarrassed.

"Prince Dongzhu, please go ahead, my lord will go to other places to have a look first! Hahaha!" The chief official laughed, then turned and left the door.

After all the officers and soldiers had withdrawn, Yun Xin closed the door tightly.

"Thank you, Miss Yun, for your rescue!" Prince Xi said, clasping his fists.

"No, it's just a matter of raising your hands." Yun Xin smiled lightly and fanned his folding fan.

"Su doesn't know that Miss Yun is the crown prince of your country, so she will offend her."

"Haha, aren't the two girls also members of the royal family?"

Yun Xin's words really surprised me.Not only did she see that we were all women, but she also guessed that we were members of the royal family.

Prince Xi did not respond, which was regarded as acquiescence.Then she said: "Miss Yun, please don't tell others what happened today."

"That's natural." Yun Xin chuckled.

Prince Xi didn't answer, and the room suddenly fell into silence, looking a little embarrassed.

"Luo Bing!" I was the first to break the weird atmosphere, "This girl is exactly the 'Xiang'er' that old man Zhao was referring to, but not the 'Diao'er' I was looking for."

"No problem." Prince Xi looked at Ling'er and said, "Let's rescue her first."

Yun Xin also nodded.Afterwards, we dressed Ling'er as a man, and took advantage of the chaos of the crowd, to sneak out of Hongxiangyuan.

"Miss Su, Miss Meng, we will meet later." Yun Xin clasped his fists together, and then gave me a meaningful look.

We took Ling'er back to the iron shop of Zhao's family. When the couple saw Ling'er, they wept and thanked us.Prince Xi helped the old man up, frowned and asked, "Old man, did any officers and soldiers come here just now?"

The old man Zhao looked blank: "No officers and soldiers have ever come here, what is the girl referring to?"

Prince Xi's expression became more solemn: "Just ask casually, don't care about the old man."

We rescued Ling'er, the couple were very grateful, took out some silver taels, and cooked some home-cooked dishes for us.After that, we lived here as a matter of course.

After a busy day, I am really tired.After I changed my clothes, I wanted to urge Prince Xi to go to bed, but I saw her frowning and thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" I got up and poured her a glass of water.

"After three days, Miss Huang sent someone to arrest her. There is something else wrong with this matter."

"Is there someone behind the scenes?" I asked.

"It's hard to say," Prince Xi shook his head, "The whereabouts are leaked, we will leave Jinhe Town immediately tomorrow morning."

"Okay." I nodded.

"By the way, that Ling'er..."

"It's okay. Ling'er is just my servant in Shengle Medicine Hall, not the person I'm looking for."

Prince Xi nodded, and then asked: "Then who are you looking for?"

I sighed and said: "I was looking for my lost sister, but I heard from Ling'er that my sister is now in Luoyang. I also met him in the palace a few times, but I never had the chance to meet her."

Prince Xi saw my helplessness and patted my head: "There will be a chance in the future. Go to sleep."

Not long after lying down, the sound of Prince Xi's even breathing came from beside him.I stared at her face and slowly recalled what happened in the past few days. The prince was transferred to the south, Prince Cheng died in battle, and Prince Xi and I fled Luoyang. These things happened so suddenly that I couldn't accept them all at once.But speaking of it, the most acceptable and unacceptable should be Prince Xi, she suddenly changed from a high-ranking prince to a fugitive who everyone "screams and beats", it's like falling directly from heaven to hell.

When I was thinking wildly, there was a slight call from outside the door: "Miss Meng..."

who is it?

I trembled in shock, just as I was about to wake up Prince Xi, another voice came from outside the door: "...I am Yun Xin..."

Strange, why did Yunxin come to me in the middle of the night?I thought about it, but Miss Yun helped us once during the day, and I can see that she is not a treacherous and cunning person, so she must have something important to come to me at this time.

I gently put on my clothes and went outside, lest I wake up Prince Xi.Yun Xin was at the corner right now, and when he saw me coming out, he called me to the backyard.

"Miss Meng," Yun Xin said in a low voice, "Yun has no malicious intentions, but just wants to say goodbye to Miss."

"Farewell?" I was taken aback.

"Exactly," Yun Xin said, "Yun Xin will leave Jinhe Town and rush back to East Pearl Country tomorrow morning."

"Miss Yun doesn't need to say goodbye so solemnly."

"No...actually, Yun has a request." Yun Xin said hesitantly, "Dongzhu Kingdom is a small country, and its neighbor in the southwest is Great Southern Kingdom. In recent years, Great Southern Kingdom has always found various reasons to harass our border... "Yun Xin paused for a moment, "From what happened today, I know that Miss Meng and Miss Su are both members of the royal family of Pingyang Kingdom, and they were excluded by the royal family for some reason... I think, if the two of you are willing to come to our east Zhu Kingdom, how about wishing Dongzhu a helping hand in defeating Great Nanguo?"

As soon as I heard this, I knew Yun Xin's intention.Moreover, there is no alliance between Pingyang and Dongzhu, and the Pingyang army will not cross the border to arrest people. If Prince Xi and I hide in Dongzhu, it would be a good thing.However, Liuli Island, an island without imperial power and dictatorship, is our yearning, and we cannot give up so easily.

Seeing my hesitation, Yun Xin added: "Yun is the crown prince of Dongzhu Kingdom. I will definitely ensure that you two have enough food and clothing, which is no worse than in Pingyang Kingdom."

"No," I interrupted Yun Xin, "I appreciate Miss Yun's kindness. But we have already lived enough in the palace, we just want to go to a free place. Although Dongzhu Kingdom is not as good as Pingyang, But it's also a governed country. So..."

Seeing my refusal, Yun Xin was not angry, but nodded: "It's okay, Yun will wait for you in Dongzhu Country."

"I'm afraid I will disappoint Miss Yun."

Yun Xin smiled, "Then Yun will leave first." Then she turned around.

I didn't make a sound and was about to leave when she suddenly turned around and lowered her voice: "Be careful with that Ling'er."

Be careful Ling'er?Ling'er is my servant in Shengle Medicine Hall, why should I be careful of her?Just as I was about to ask, I found that Yun Xin had left the backyard and disappeared.

The night in early April was a bit cool, I wrapped my clothes and walked back to the house quickly.

At dawn on the second day, we said goodbye to the old man and boarded the carriage to Chang'an.

Because Yunxin's words "Be careful of that Ling'er" echoed in his head all the time, he was in a daze for a while.Prince Xi seems to be interested, and has been staring at me.

"What are you thinking?" she asked.

"Nothing." I shook my head.

"Are you thinking about your 14-year-old boy?"

I looked up at her in surprise, not knowing what to say.

She raised her eyebrows and asked, "By the way, if you met that boy now, would you go with him?"

What happened to Prince Xi today?I bit my lower lip and looked at her, but I still couldn't guess what she meant.

I rolled my eyes and joked, "Of course I will."

Unexpectedly, Prince Xi was not angry, but nodded, resting his chin on his arm, "That's right, maybe that young man is already a general now, unlike me, who is an abandoned prince."

What's wrong with Prince Xi today?I reached out and touched her forehead, but it didn't feel hot.

She stared at me and said slowly, "Well...Actually, that boy is me."

What?I withdrew my hand and stared at her.

Could it be that the person I fell in love with when I was 14 was really Prince Hee?Four years later, I fell in love with Prince Hee all over again?

I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Then, why didn't you tell me earlier?" I stammered.

"It's interesting to let you guess."

"You..." I was too angry to speak, and stared at her.

The sun had risen to the due south at some point, and the sunlight shining into the car was a bit dazzling.The outside of the car began to become lively, and crying and shouting were heard from time to time.

We have arrived at Chang'an City.

I looked at Prince Xi happily, but Prince Xi suddenly turned gloomy and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to see other women behind my back."
