Shuangjiao

The night wind was cold, but Liu Qiong didn't feel it at all. On the contrary, he felt very hot.

He sneaked a glance back, but didn't dare to lift his eyes to look directly, only staring at the ground.

Under the moonlight, the two shadows overlapped to form one. The slender black shadow bowed slightly, with a protruding back, and moved forward slowly.

One child and one illness, this combination is destined to be unhappy.

Wen Xueqing turned her head sideways, glanced at Ling Rou's pale face, and sighed softly.

If she hadn't rushed over, I really don't know what would have happened.

Fortunately, the terrain in the mountains is complicated, and they are few and easy to hide, so they escaped the searchers.

"Little lady, should we rush to Linzhou, or should we take a rest first?" The servant girl asked in a low voice, her worried gaze fell on Lingrou.

"You take the young master and go first," Wen Xueqing said, "You go to Linzhou first, and we will follow behind."

"How can this work?" Liu Qiong disagreed, "My aunt needs to see a doctor."

Listening to the shouts coming from afar, Wen Xueqing narrowed her eyes and looked at Liu Qiong.

"Isn't it...isn't it right?" When she saw it, Liu Qiong was sweating profusely, no matter how he moved his hands and feet, he couldn't do it right.

"Of course not." Wen Xueqing kicked her legs and lifted Ling Rou up, "If you don't leave, we will all die. If you leave, we can live."

"This this……"

Liu Qiong's face flushed red.

"So, after we break up, you can go quickly."

Ling Rou probably fell ill because of exhaustion, blowing a cool breeze and being frightened.

The disease came in a hurry, and the onset was fast, in the barren mountains, Wen Xueqing couldn't do anything about it.

The target of those people is Liu Qiong, they must be separated, otherwise Lingrou will really die here.

It is difficult for Wen Xueqing to have a good temper with Liu Qiong.

Although he is sensible and smart enough, but all this is for him, it is very difficult for Wen Xueqing to control herself and not to vent her anger on Liu Qiong.

If she had come a little later, Ling Rou would have died under the knife of those people, or died of a sudden illness.

Thinking again that Ling Rou left quietly because of Liu Qiong, Wen Xueqing became even more angry.

Wen Xueqing's tone was elongated and slow: "Your Highness, think about your aunt."

They don't need Liu Qiong to stay and share weal and woe with loyalty.

There were still some tears in the corner of Liu Qiong's eyes, and through this glimmer, Wen Xueqing looked at him with a half-smile, which seemed to be sarcasm, but also caring.

"I..." Is he going to be left behind again?

Liu Qiong was a little panicked, and also afraid that because he insisted on staying with Lingrou, she would not be able to go back to Linzhou.

Wait a moment……

Liu Qiong's whole body was shaken. Wasn't it just to distract the pursuers when they broke up?

If he didn't leave like this, it would be a failure to live up to his good intentions.

"I'm leaving!" Liu Qiong wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, and bowed solemnly to Wen Xueqing, "Auntie, please."

Liu Qiong was so polite, but Wen Xueqing couldn't get used to it. She did plan to stay to distract the searchers, but it was also true that Ling Rou was like this, and it was difficult to continue on her way.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Wen Xueqing raised her chin because her arms were inconvenient, and signaled the maid to pull Liu Qiong up, "After you return to Linzhou, don't go back to Ling's house, and don't make a fuss, just stay quietly at my house."

I'm afraid that the Ling family is also being watched by many people now, and the relationship inside is complicated. Even Ling Rou can't do whatever he wants, and there is no one who is trustworthy.Liu Qiong was a stranger to the Ling family, so he rushed in hastily, but it was like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

Watching Liu Qiong leave with her maid, Wen Xueqing supported Lingrou on her back, and muttered in a low voice: "Your nephew is safe now, you can sleep in peace, don't move around, let's find a place to rest first, Get a good night's sleep, and I'll take you to see a doctor when it's dawn, and we'll set off after recovering from your illness..."

Behind her was Ling Rou's intermittent breathing. Although it was silent, Wen Xueqing didn't feel bored at all.

"Hey, I have nothing to say, I still have to be brave and go alone, if I don't think something is wrong, you don't know where you are now..."

The pursuers in the distance were gone, she hummed as she walked, and the cicadas among the grass and leaves echoed her words.

"Last year I had a fever, and I lay in bed for several days. I felt uncomfortable and drowsy all day long. However, it will be fine if I drink the medicine. Although the medicine is very difficult to drink, I still have to drink it. Are you afraid of suffering? ..."

The clouds gathered in the sky, and the combined shadows on the ground disappeared.

Wen Xueqing stopped, and then walked quickly again.

The damp heat from her shoulders made her heart tremble continuously, and she couldn't even speak.

Unable to bear it any longer, Wen Xueqing opened her legs and ran straight away.

The person on the back thought that his movements were so small that Wen Xueqing would not be able to notice them, so he choked slightly.

Wen Xueqing struggled for a long way before stopping to catch her breath.

Summer night is like cold winter, even the exhaled breath is white.

"Hey...why are you crying, what's there to cry about." Wen Xueqing was a little angry, and when Ling Rou cried, she wanted to cry too.However, Ling Rou was so desperate for face that she didn't dare to cry loudly, and even covered her face and leaned on her back so she wouldn't see it.

Before waiting for an answer, Wen Xueqing simply found a giant and sat down.

Lingrou waited until she had calmed down a lot, and then said: "I... I didn't cry..."

Her voice was hoarse and choked with sobs, and she didn't believe what she said.

"Oh," Wen Xueqing said calmly, "then I didn't cry."

"Hmm..." Lingrou didn't dare to say too much, she would choke if she said too much.

Wen Xueqing closed her eyes and said nonsense, so she agreed with herself, which really made her blush.

After sitting silently for a while, after confirming that it was a safe place, Wen Xueqing was not in a hurry to leave.

After driving for so long, she was also tired.

"You don't mind making do with it?"

Knowing that Ling Rou agrees, she won't answer, but since she doesn't act, it means she agrees.

Wen Xueqing took off her coat, and the collar of her inner coat was soaked, so she could only open it up a little to breathe.

"I must find a place to change tomorrow."

Wen Xueqing herself despises such a self.

Ling Rou: "Very good, this way."

"Huh?" Wen Xueqing twitched the corners of her mouth, "Qiniang, are you sick and stupid? Do you remember your name? Do you know who I am?"

"..." Lingrou covered her eyes with her hands and lay down on her back, "I mean, it's good to be with you like this."

Wen Xueqing felt that she was so hot that she started to smoke.

"Oh..." She responded blankly, "That's good."

Then she didn't know what to say.

The clouds scattered and the moon was bright, and seeing Wen Xueqing's dazed look through her fingers, Ling Rou couldn't help laughing.

"I just dreamed about my elder sister." She dreamed that both she and Liu Qiong died on the road, isolated and helpless, died tragically, and were not even discovered until a long time later.

——She failed to fulfill the eldest sister's last wish.

Recalling the scene when Lingrou's eldest sister stood at the gate of the palace to see them off when they finally left the palace, Wen Xueqing's heart tightened.

The queen in fine clothes was finally eaten by that terrifying dark palace gate, and never came out again.

"The dead should not be chased," Lingrou said. "Actually, I seldom think of her along the way, but I've always been afraid, what should we do if we can't reach Linzhou?"

The eldest sister pinned all her hopes on her. Although they had discord and alienation, at the last moment, she still believed in herself.

"I handed Liu Qiong over to someone else, and you can't see it now, so it's useless to worry about it." Whether he can go to Linzhou in the future depends on Liu Qiong himself.

This is a bit rambunctious.

Ling Rou wanted to laugh: "It seems right to think so."

"That's right." Liu Qiong is no longer suitable to go with them, and it is more likely to go to Linzhou if they go separately.

Out of the corner of his eye, he didn't see the black shadow on the ground, but a black shadow appeared on the boulder, and Wen Xueqing also lay down.The boulder is cold and smooth, and it feels comfortable to lie on it and raise your hands to prop your head up.

The two were close together, neither of them looked back at each other, but they could feel each other's breath.

"Will you miss Brother Five?" Lingrou asked suddenly.

Wen Xueqing was silent for a moment, and replied: "...of course." Wen Wulang's life and death are still uncertain, and he has not been found yet.Wen Xueqing prayed secretly countless times, hoping for his safe return.

Ling Rou: "At least you still have hope." No news is the best news.A righteous man like Wen Wulang, who was as glorious as Jiyue, could have left Luoyang, but chose to turn back in the end. Just because of this, she hoped that he would be safe.

Nothing to do with personal feelings.

"Actually, I'm not that worried," Wen Xueqing sniffed, "My fifth brother is very smart, he can do better than you, and he can adapt quickly wherever he goes."

"...Are you sure you really want to praise people like this?"

"I praised you too."

"Thank you." After Lingrou finished speaking, she lowered her head and covered her face, "Forget it, I don't want such a compliment."

The underclothes were dried by the wind, and the night became deeper and colder.Wen Xueqing shrank back: "Actually, you must be worried. Even if you don't tell me, I will definitely bring Liu Qiong back to Linzhou."

Because this is also Wen Goro's expectation for Wen Xueqing.

Now Wen Xueqing wants to cry whenever she thinks of Wen Wulang, but Ling Rou has just shown her the correct way to cry, so she has to hold back no matter what.

——Even though she had cried many times in front of Lingrou before.

Wen Xueqing: "Besides, I ventured into the palace and brought him out, so I have to bring him to Linzhou to finish."

Ling Rou, who was originally drowsy and wanted to close her eyes and go to sleep, suddenly became energetic.

"You entered the palace, but you just brought Aqiong out?"

"Of course not." She originally entered the palace for Ling Rou.

"You didn't wait for me, so you went to the palace to look for me." Ling Rou affirmed.

Wen Xueqing didn't speak.

With a soft and warm body covering her back, she heard Lingrou whisper in her ear: "Zhenzhen, I'm really happy, fortunately I met you."

Fortunately, they can walk this road together.Although I still don't know if I can really come to the end of my life in the end, and I haven't even said it explicitly, but this is enough.

Ling Rou is really lucky.

"Actually, the way back to Linzhou is not particularly difficult." There will never be a time when there is no one, because Wen Xueqing will always be there.

"It seems to be like this." Wen Xueqing suddenly turned her face and put her hand on Lingrou's shoulder.

A long time ago, Ling Rou knew that Wen Xueqing had a pair of beautiful eyes that made her dare not look directly at her.

Looking at her like this now made her heart tremble even more.

"Hello, Wen Xueqing..."

Ling Rou watched Wen Xueqing approaching little by little, her hands and feet feeling weak.

The breathing of the two gradually merged.

Seeing a little moonlight on Wen Xueqing's eyelashes, jumping and disappearing as she approached, Ling Rou couldn't help closing her eyes and dared not look again.

Lips and tongues pressed together, there was no gap between the two of them.

Ling Rou held the other lip.

Sweet and soft, with a little saltiness.
