"Little lady?" The head of the Zhongchang attendant trembled, not daring to make any big moves, and spoke in an angry voice, "Do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are, get out of the way!"

Wen Xueqing's knife tip moved forward.

No one was willing to let go first, and the two groups of people confronted each other for a while.

"What is this doing?"

An outsider finally broke into this secluded corner.

"Xu Changshi." Several other inner eunuchs hurriedly saluted. Compared with this one, their seniority was considered younger.

"Your Highness is here too," Xu Changshi shook his tail lightly, "Just in time, Your Majesty is looking for you, hurry up and follow me, I've been looking for a long time, so it's here."

"This..." The others looked at each other in blank dismay, "We have not received His Majesty's order, saying that we are looking for Your Highness..."

Xu Changshi glanced at the end of his eyes: "You mean, I passed on the decree falsely? I passed on the decree of the Supreme Emperor, where did you receive the decree from?"

Xu Chang's attendant was deeply trusted when the Supreme Emperor was in power, which is not comparable to them.The Supreme Emperor is currently lying in bed and ignores the government affairs, but once he wakes up, even the emperor will bow before him and obey him.

The inner eunuchs felt resigned, and cast a sideways glance at Wen Xueqing unwillingly.

Xu Changshi smiled gently: "I'm sorry, my lady. I also know that my lady is impatient and afraid of delaying the time, but please put down the knife. With me here, I will protect her safely."

Wen Xueqing raised her eyes to stare at him, then slowly put down the knife.

This Xu Changshi was sent by the Supreme Emperor to welcome her and Princess Lekang when she first entered Beijing.

It seemed like gossip along the way, but in fact, he made some points along the way, and he treated people in a strong and orderly manner. I heard that he entered the palace since he was a child, and he never found relatives to support him like other inner eunuchs, or adopted a son to earn money for retirement.

Wen Xueqing was willing to retire, and Xu Changshi said a few more words, but the inner eunuchs didn't dare to ask for proof, so they could only watch Xu Changshi take them away.

Xu Changshi has lived in the palace for most of his life, and he knows all kinds of tricks in the palace.

With him around, they left the palace very quickly.

"Thank you Changshi Xu." Wen Xueqing and Ling Rou thanked in unison.

Xu Changshi shook his head, his eyes were desolate: "It's okay, please take care of my little lady and your highness.",

After he finished speaking, he wanted to go back.

"Xu Changshi, aren't you leaving?" Wen Xueqing asked.

In fact, at first she thought that Xu Changshi would also leave the palace, but she didn't expect that he would take them out of the palace specially, and would go back later.

"Go?" Xu Changshi looked surprised, "Where am I going?"

"But..." Ling Rou embraced the little nephew, "Xu Changshi helped us like this..."

"Hush—" Xu Changshi hissed, "The two young ladies are innocent people, and they are also at a young age. How can I, an old man in his dying years, have the heart to watch these two young ladies die here?"

He didn't even look at Liu Qiong, and instead bowed to everyone.

"I probably won't see you again in the future. I have already experienced a catastrophe. It is God's blessing to survive. Afterwards, I am fortunate to be valued by Your Majesty. I don't have anything extravagant to ask for in this life—just to repay the emperor's favor."

Without stopping any longer, Xu Changshi walked slowly into the palace.

Wen Xueqing and Ling Rou looked at each other, saw that Xu Changshi had disappeared, and then set off

===

"Lang Jun!" The sharp-eyed servants recognized Wen Xueqing in the crowd, "Mr. Lang, the little lady has been found, here she is!"

"Zhenzhen! Here!"

Wen Goro stood under the palace wall.

"And Miss Ling..." Wen Wulang shifted his gaze to Liu Qiong, who was half-length, and nodded, "Let's go."

Just now, King Li, who took over as the emperor, named Liu Qiong the crown prince in front of all his officials.

Wen Wulang was not surprised that the emperor would send Liu Qiong out of the palace.

The emperor wants to stay and guard the city until death.

Wen Wulang didn't say much, but Liu Qiong had already realized what happened, his eyes were red and his mouth was tightly pursed.

He is a smart and precocious child. Wen Liulang, who is about the same age as him, is innocent and lively, but he has already begun to take on unimaginable burdens

Wen Xueqing took a deep look at him, lowered her head and grabbed Lingrou's hand, feeling the warmth in her palm, and her nervous beating heart calmed down little by little.

"Zhenzhen, we will definitely be able to go back to Linzhou together!" Lingrou also grabbed her hand tightly.

interlocking fingers.

... These days, they seem to do this action often.

Wen Xueqing raised her head, and the breeze blew up the black hair on Ling Rou's temples, floating like a fairy.

Wen Wulang looked back at the two of them, his expression was unclear, and in the groggy dusk, he managed to raise a smiling face: "It's finally out, let's go."

Several people and the servants flocked to the city gate with the flow of people.

The Xiongnu had already discovered this small door, and the tip of the sharp knife pointed at the outermost people. If they stabbed in at will, they could pull out blood and organs.

Bloody.

Wen Xueqing stretched out her hand to cover Liu Qiong's eyes.

Liu Qiong stopped, and then quickly followed.

"Thank you." Lingrou thanked in a low voice.

She was very anxious and nervous, afraid that someone would find Liu Qiong and ignore that he was just a child.

Wen Xueqing shook her head: "It's just a trivial matter, let's go."

Wen Goro walked in the front and pushed through the crowd, not noticing all this.

They deliberately chose inconspicuous colors for their attire, dressed in a low-key and inconspicuous manner, dressed lightly and simply, mixed with the common people, and rushed out of the city with the crowd of Hun soldiers.

The ferry is close at hand.

The panicked people stepped on a boat indiscriminately and urged them to sail quickly. Many big boats from aristocratic families flooded into the common people. Walk.

Seeing the hope of life, others followed suit.

Wen Wulang had guessed this possibility a long time ago. The boat he prepared was not big, but he could see that ordinary people could not afford it. Such boats were only used by small aristocratic families, and they could just accommodate the clansmen. and the servants will keep it.

Ordinary people know that such a ship cannot get on, and they will take the initiative to bypass and break through the defense line of the big ship.

Wen Goro stood aside, protecting everyone on the boat before stepping on the board himself.

"Zhenzhen," he called to stop Wen Xueqing, "the journey here is bumpy and full of difficulties and dangers, but I know you are tenacious, and you will be able to support each other and walk hand in hand with the young lady of the Ling family, and return to Linzhou together."

Wen Xueqing's steady heart sank suddenly.

"Fifth brother!"

She yelled, and quickly reached out to grab On Goro's sleeve.

But still too slow.

Wen Wulang jumped off the boat, stepped on solid ground, and waved to Wen Xueqing: "Take care, Zhenzhen!"

"Fifth brother, come back!" Wen Xueqing burst into tears.

These days, she seems to be crying all the time.For the first time, Wen Xueqing felt that she was such a weak person.She wanted to jump down and catch Wen Wulang up.

"Zhenzhen," Ling Rou hugged her from behind, "You can't stop him, Mr. Lang has made up his mind to do so."

As early as when he ran out of the palace, Wen Goro told her directly.She was also asked to stop Wen Xueqing.

Wen Xueqing grasped the railing weakly with her hands, and her vision was blurred.

"Zhenzhen, don't cry, don't cry anymore!" Wen Wulang followed the boat on the bank and shouted loudly, "Remember what I told you, Zhenzhen, don't let yourself regret it!"

Lingrou and Wen Wulang looked at each other, and patted Wen Xueqing's shoulder: "He will come back, really, he told me."

Just now, when Wen Wulang passed by her side, he whispered that if they could return to Linzhou safely, he would admit her.

===

In order not to be discovered, Liu Qiong stayed in the cabin all the time. This was his first time on a boat, and it was such a long journey. Not surprisingly, he got seasick.

Started throwing up shortly after boarding the boat.

Before leaving the palace, he hurriedly ate some bottom food. He had already chewed it carefully, but now his stomach bloated and he vomited the food before it was digested.Not to mention the bad smell, but also stuck in the throat.

The servants on the boat didn't know his identity, and seeing how uncomfortable he was, they suggested ideas one after another, some told jokes and stories to divert attention, some offered water and tea to calm him down, and some simply dragged him into strange movements, Said to stop vomiting.

Wen Xueqing sat on the sidelines and watched for a while, the corners of her eyes hurting, so she simply got up and walked to the deck to breathe.

On a starless and moonless night, the river breeze was gentle, and the boat moved forward slowly along the river.

Because of Liu Qiong, they walked slowly, and tried to walk on the side of the river.

At this moment, the river is pouring thousands of miles away, and there are only a few lights on the vast river.

It was a bit cold at night, only a few servants stood far away along the side of the boat for defense, and the others hid in the cabin.Everything is silent, even the river is running silently, Wen Xueqing can even hear the sound of her sleeves being scraped.

She sat on the deck of the boat, staring far and wide, in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Rou also sat down silently beside her.

"Will you miss your sister?" Wen Xueqing asked suddenly.

Ling Rou turned to look at her: "Of course."

In fact, compared with Wen Wulang, the life and death of the Queen of the Ling family is more unpredictable.

No one in the last emperor would keep him alive, but his queen, even if he could stay, who knows if he will suffer humiliation?

The emperor Li Wang made was the most unstable generation that could not enjoy the majesty of the emperor's power.

As soon as he took the highest position, he was about to face the catastrophe of subjugation, and he didn't know whether King Li would be able to turn the tide.

"Sister is ready." Ling Ju said.Otherwise, she wouldn't have finally entrusted Liu Qiong to Ling Rou Wen Goro.

Wen Xueqing was weak: "But the fifth brother went back." She still couldn't accept the fact that Wen Wulang would go back at the end.

Wen Wulang entrusted Liu Qiong to Wen Xueqing, and asked her and Lingrou to take him back to Linzhou, but he returned to Luoyang City to participate in the final resistance.

Moreover, since Wen Wulang is in the city, it is difficult for others to suspect Wen Xueqing.Anyway, as long as you have the heart, you can find out about the discord between Wen Ling's two young ladies.

Ling Rou lowered her eyelashes, Wen Wulang probably only tempted him because he was afraid that they would not return to Linzhou.

She had to admit, she was very moved.

No matter which one it is for, she will do her best to bring Liu Qiong back to Linzhou with Wen Xueqing.

"Just...they are all safe, right?" Wen Xueqing hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't help asking this seemingly silly question.

She just wants to seek a recognition, and some people also look forward to the same.

Ling Rou didn't answer immediately, staring at the endless river in silence.

Wen Xueqing suddenly felt a little cold and flinched.

"Not only can they be safe, but they can also grow old safely." After a long time, Ling Rou finally spoke.

She didn't hear any more responses from the people around her, and Ling Rou didn't turn her head back immediately, but continued to sit in the cold wind and dark night.

Only when the sound of even breathing came from her side did Ling Rou dare to stand up and move her stiff limbs a little, took off the coat on her back, and put it on Wen Xueqing.

Lights came out of the cabin, illuminating a small area.

Ling Rou stepped on this small piece of light, picked up Wen Xueqing, and walked into the cabin safely.

"...Little lady?" The servant just watched Liu Qiong fall asleep, and was about to find the two little ladies, when she raised her eyes, she saw Ling Rou coming in with Wen Xueqing in her arms.

Lingrou shook her head silently, the servant girl glanced at Wen Xueqing in her arms, immediately understood, and stepped aside.

After placing Wen Xueqing on the bed, Ling Rou quietly stepped aside.

The servant girl asked in a low voice: "Miss Ling, doesn't she sleep with Miss Wen?"

Lingrou shakes her head.

Wen Xueqing probably still has anger in her heart, if she wakes up early tomorrow morning and sees her face next to her, that's fine.

The servant girl was stunned: "But, there is not enough space here, is it possible that the little lady wants to sleep with us?"

Liu Qiong vomited as soon as he got on the boat, and the smell in the cabin hadn't dissipated, so he had to find another clean bed for him.The boat is not big, so there are only one or two extra cabins, and when Liu Qiong comes, it's just finished.

Lingrou: "..."

The servant girl never dared to imagine that a lady like Ling Rou would sleep together with them, and whispered to persuade Ling Rou and Wen Xueqing to sleep together.

No matter what, the rooms and beds they prepared for their master are the best, if Ling Rou sleeps with them... Oh my god, she can't believe it's real, it's impossible even in a dream.

Looking at the expression on the maidservant's face, Ling Rou could roughly guess what she was thinking.

"I'd better squeeze with Miss Wen." She turned her head away in embarrassment, looking at Wen Xueqing who was sleeping peacefully inside.

"It shouldn't be too difficult, just for one night." Ling Rou comforted herself.She got up before Wen Xueqing in the morning, and just pretended nothing happened.

"Uh..." The servant girl hesitated to speak.

Miss Wen is dishonest when she sleeps and likes to kick the quilt. Does she say it or not?

It's no secret that the two young ladies are not in harmony. These servants and servants know more or less. Although they are running away together in disorder, they are still prepared to pull them away as soon as possible if the two young ladies disagree with each other.

"What's the matter?" Lingrou didn't miss the servant girl's small movements.

"Just..." the servant hesitated, "Little lady, be careful when you sleep at night."

Lingrou's eyelids trembled, could they have been discovered?

Will there be night raids?

The maidservants are embarrassed to say more, the little lady in their family is such an adult, and she still needs to be watched at night when she sleeps.

"I have wronged my little lady, so... please bear with me, little lady." The servant girl hurriedly saluted, turned around and left.

Ling Rou was inexplicable, she was just sleeping, why did she look like she was facing a formidable enemy.

The maid prepared a soft and comfortable bed for Ling Rou, and Ling Rou lay down, closing her eyes and slowly falling asleep as usual.

When she was in a trance, Lingrou suddenly felt a dull pain in her knees.

...probably dreaming.

Lingrou didn't care and continued to sleep.

Not long after, Ling Rou suddenly sat up from the bed.

"Well!!!"

This time the pain was even clearer, as a foot was pressed against his calf.

Lingrou felt that her calf must be blue.

——Wen Xueqing kicked really hard.

Sitting for a while, Ling Rou observed Wen Xueqing on the other side by the dim light.

He obviously looks obedient, but he is still so lively when he is asleep.

Lingrou sighed helplessly, she understood what the servant girl's expression meant before.
