"What ye told you and me is all her truth. She asked me to pity the people in front of me and you. She said that no other person in the world could care about me so much except you. These are her heart words. She really hopes I can be good with you."
The princess stared at Li Yujin.
Li Yujin added, "I let her go because she also has a family, a husband and children. She misses her hometown as much as I used to. I can't go back in my life, but I hope she can go back without separation of husband and wife and separation of mother and son. I pity her for a woman living alone in a foreign country, so I want to let her go."
The princess obviously calmed down a lot. She took a deep breath and wiped her tears: "you mean, you will cherish me and only stay with me all your life?"
"Where else can I go?" Li Yujin coaxed the princess like a child.
At this time, the princess burst into tears and smiled. In turn, she hugged Li Yujin and said coquettishly: "then you should be better to me in the future and coax me every day."
"That's nature."
“……”
In the ice and snow, it was very warm inside the carriage.
……
Don't go inside.
Lunch time is approaching, but father-in-law Chen can't wait for ye Xiaoxian to come back.
He thought that ye must have played too much with the princess, so he couldn't come back. There were standby cooks in the other palace, so father-in-law Chen had to arrange two other cooks to cook lunch for the emperor and Empress Dowager Xiao.
After lunch, Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't see ye Xiaoxian, so she asked father-in-law Chen, "where's cook ye? Haven't you come back yet?"
Duke Chen replied, "when I returned to the empress dowager, I didn't come back."
"What about the princess and the county horse master?"
"I sent someone for questioning and didn't come back."
Empress Dowager Xiao doesn't care what to eat, as long as she has something to eat.
But the little emperor was obviously dissatisfied. The food in front of him had the shape of Ye Xiaoxian, but there was no God of Ye Xiaoxian. Although the rice balls were pinched into a beautiful shape, the meat was fried and served with ketchup, he just felt that the taste was different.
Plus, there is no story after dinner today.
He took a few lazy bites and then put down his chopsticks.
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Xiao said, "if ye'er has no appetite, I'll find someone to call Ye Zi back now."
The little emperor shook his head: "well, cook Ye rarely goes out. Let her have a good time. I'm not hungry now. If I'm hungry, I can have some snacks and fruits in the afternoon."
Empress Dowager Xiao smiled: "ye'er knows how to be compassionate."
"That is." The little emperor was proud.
……
The princess and Li Yujin didn't come back until evening.
After returning to the other palace, they went to see the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager saw that ye Xiaoxian didn't come back. What she and the little emperor ate in the evening was the food cooked by another cook. She couldn't help thinking of something.
"Where's cook ye? How can I come back with you?" Asked the Empress Dowager with a cold face.
The princess hesitated and said, "back to the empress dowager, she... She..."
The princess thought in her heart, do you want to make up any reason to say that ye Xiaoxian escaped by herself, or that she was rescued.
But one side of Li Yujin said directly, "when you go back to the empress dowager, cook Ye won't come back. She may be on the way back to pray at this time."
"Presumptuous!" Empress Dowager Xiao patted the table angrily: "how can a woman return to pray?"
Li Yujin said, "Da Qi sent someone to save her, so she begged me to take her out of the palace. As for how she can return to Da Qi... We don't know."
"Who came to save her?" Empress Dowager Xiao asked with anger.
"It's her husband." Li Yujin said.
"Her husband? Do you know who her husband is?" Empress Dowager Xiao asked again.
The princess doesn't know xiaobaoshan.
Although Li Yujin knew it, she pretended not to know it: "she didn't say it. She only said that she was thousands of miles away from her husband and there were children at home. I couldn't bear their separation, so I agreed to her request."
The Empress Dowager angrily said, "do you know that her husband is xiaobaoshan, a famous general who prayed greatly. Xiaobaoshan killed nearly 20000 war gods of general Jing!"
Li Yujin pretended to be surprised: "is there such a thing?"
The princess was really confused: "ah? Ye is actually the wife of xiaobaoshan? It's incredible. How did she come to Beiqing and become a cook?"
Even the little emperor was stunned.
The little emperor is a person who is kept in the dark from beginning to end. He only knows that ye Xiaoxian is good, knowledgeable, has read a lot of storybooks and can tell stories.
He doesn't know whether ye Xiaoxian's departure is a good thing or a bad thing.
Empress Dowager Xiao immediately said, "it's not too late. Send someone to chase them. It's best to take both their husband and wife. As long as we can get rid of xiaobaoshan, there will be a big trouble missing from Beiqing!"
“……”
Ye Xiaoxian and xiaobaoshan are still on the road. Even now it's dark, xiaobaoshan doesn't let the carriage stop.
They took some remote roads and arrived at a mountain house at the foot of the mountain. They also changed horses there. In addition to the obscene man, there was another young man named "Muzi".
They are Daqi's spies. They came to help xiaobaoshan after receiving a secret order from Li Chengru.
After changing horses, they rode all night, taking little-known secret roads.
Until they got out of the remote woods, it was almost dawn, and they were about to return to the capital.
Simply bought some cakes outside, and they entered the city.
Xiaobaoshan and ye Xiaoxian all had the official documents for customs clearance. Ye Xiaoxian had the princess's token, so they entered the city smoothly.
When she entered the city from the east gate and left the city from the west gate, ye Xiaoxian was very worried all the way. She just wanted to get out of the city as soon as possible and end the suffering quickly, so she kept praying in her heart: it must be smooth, it must be smooth.
It's not big to go to the capital. The straight-line distance from one end to the other is two hours.
The four soon reached the west gate.
Ye Xiaoxian was stopped here once, so her palms trembled after she arrived here.
She also saw the bodyguard who stopped her last time. I don't know if the bodyguard still recognizes her?
If you recognize it, you'll be stopped, won't you?
She was still trembling until Xiao Baoshan came to her and held her hand tightly. There seemed to be an energy in his palm that could reach her heart.
Her heart was stabilized.
The city gate lined up in turn. The obscene man and Muzi in front had successfully left the city, and then she came.
She handed her the customs clearance document made by the obscene man. The guard of the city looked at her and then looked at her carefully.
Ye Xiaoxian's heart suddenly pulled.
Do you recognize it?
In front, Xiao Baoshan, who had already left the city, looked back, clenched his fist, and seemed ready to save Ye Xiaoxian at any time.
Even if there is a conflict, it must be rescued.
However, the bodyguard looked at Ye Xiaoxian for a long time before asking, "are you wearing bear skin?"
"Yes, how do you know?" Asked Ye Xiaoxian.
The bodyguard immediately smiled: "because my wife also has one. She bought it with a hunter and spent half a year's salary. It hurts. How much is this one?"
Ye Xiaoxian said, "I don't know how much it is given by others."
"Then you're lucky. If someone gives you a gift, you can save a lot of money. My daughter-in-law spends all my money."
Ye Xiaoxian smiled and thought, can you stop asking and let me out of town?
The bodyguard finally returned the ultimatum to Ye Xiaoxian and said, "you can go."
Ye Xiaoxian picked up the ultimatum and left.
After leaving the capital, there were not so many gates in Beiqing, and ye Xiaoxian was also slightly relieved.
However, they still can't relax their vigilance. They still have to travel day and night.
In the evening, they reached a wilderness ridge, where there was an abandoned hut. Muzi suggested to have a rest here.
Muzi and the wretched man made a fire here, took out the steamed bread and baked it on the fire, and then each divided some.
After riding the horse for so long, ye Xiaoxian felt that her hips were about to bump into both sides, but she put up with the thought that she could return to Daqi soon.
As long as you return to Daqi, everything will be comfortable. At that time, you can see the children, enjoy the days of being taken care of, and sprinkle Jiao in the arms of xiaobaoshan every day.
Others were also tired. Muzi and the obscene man leaned against the back wall to rest while baking.
When ye Xiaoxian saw the obscene man, there was still some shadow in her heart. At this time, the obscene man was just looking at her. She quickly looked away.
When a dirty man sees it, He laughed: "Mrs. Xiao Hou, don't think I'm a bad person. I used to be nervous, but actually I'm not. It's a coincidence that you lived in my alley at that time. I saw that you weren't a local and should have prayed, so I paid more attention to you. Later, I received a secret order that you were Mrs. Xiao Hou, and I stared at you secretly until Mr. Xiao arrived."
Ye Xiaoxian said, "is that so?"
"Of course, otherwise, why should I help you? I'm also a big prayer. I've been in beiqingdu for more than ten years. Now I can finally go home." The wretched man smiled.
But he can't change for a while because he has been pretending to be obscene for a long time, so he looks particularly obscene now.
Ye Xiaoxian had a bad impression of him anyway, so she looked at Muzi. Muzi was a beautiful young man. Ye Xiaoxian asked Muzi, "are you also a big prayer person? How long have you been in Beiqing? What are you doing here?"
Muzi said, "I'm a new comer. I work here as a salesman and sell goods everywhere, so I'm familiar with the road here."
"Oh." Ye Xiaoxian nodded: "then you can pray back soon."
"Yes."
Seeing that everyone was tired again, ye Xiaoxian dared not say more. She leaned against xiaobaoshan and soon fell asleep.
……
The three men rested for an hour at most, and then continued on their way.
The farther south, the more remote it is. There are no urban areas. There are only some passes. There are not many soldiers guarding the city. They can almost pass smoothly with an ultimatum.
Two days later, they arrived at a place called "Ningji city". This is the last pass. As long as they pass this pass, they will be in the position of great prayer.
Ye Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, you can go back to the big prayer!
