It rains a lot in spring. I don't know when it began to drizzle.
A woman in a coir raincoat and a hat stood under the eaves and looked up at the drizzle.
I don't know how long later, a man in coir raincoat and hat came back from a distance.
He handed her two hot steamed stuffed buns and whispered, "recently, the capital is heavily guarded. It's inconvenient to go to places with many people. Make do with it first."
The woman took the steamed stuffed bun and bit it very slowly.
She swallowed the steamed stuffed bun slowly, her eyes glued to a certain direction.
A steamed stuffed bun less than half a slap in the face was stunned and ate for a quarter of an hour.
After the last swallow, her voice said softly, "Chu Yu, I want to go back to the prime minister's house and see my grandfather."
Since Princess Xi died at the back door of Nanfeng hall on West Street, the two Nanfeng halls in the capital have been sealed up.
The people in Nanfeng restaurant were not arrested. Shuangxue, Duanli and ye Qi, together with the waiters, stayed in the house under the name of Murong mountain villa for a short time.
As for Jiang Huo and Axin, they were sent back to the prime minister's house by Qu Ling. As long as they don't run around, there will be no danger.
Therefore, after Qu Ling's imprisonment, except for the unconscious Xiao Jingyue, the most worrying thing is her grandfather.
Chu Yu paused when he heard the speech.
According to the instructions of his adoptive father, after he secretly took Qu Ling out of the prison, he should send her away from the capital immediately.
After all, at present, the capital is heavily guarded. If you leave early, you will have more security.
But Qu Ling's request, after Chu Yu pondered a little, finally nodded and agreed.
The prime minister's house was deserted. The atmosphere in the house was once depressed due to the recent rumors about his young lady's murder.
Prime Minister Jiang took sick leave the next day after he came back from entering the palace and did not appear in the court hall again.
At this time, I was playing chess with myself in the yard.
Hearing the footsteps, he thought it was Jiang Huo and Axin. He didn't lift his head and said, "if you say you're not allowed to go out, you're not allowed to go out. Stay in the house honestly."
Qu Ling took off her hat and threw it to Chu Yu. She walked quickly to Prime Minister Jiang, bent down and hugged him. She sobbed and shouted, "Grandpa, it's me."
Prime Minister Jiang shuddered and opened his eyes slightly. He still kept playing chess. He turned his head and looked at the little girl who hugged him.
After a long time, he found his voice and said in a trembling voice, "how did you run out?"
Without waiting for Qu Ling to speak, she dropped her chess piece, gently pushed her granddaughter away, and said with a straight face, "do you know what the crime of escaping from prison is?"
Qu Ling retorted in a muffled voice, "if I don't escape, I won't be guilty?"
Prime Minister Jiang choked and didn't speak for a long time.
Half a ring, no good way: "I'm very good. Go back to the general's house."
He was not too surprised to know that her granddaughter was not an easy-going child. She ran out without permission.
But compared with the deserted prime minister's house, the general's house is more heavily guarded and safer.
On that day, it would be better to leave Beijing this morning.
Qu Ling didn't go. She whispered, "Grandpa, will I trouble you?"
Prime Minister Jiang glared at her unhappily. "Now he asked if it would involve Grandpa. Why didn't he be calm earlier?"
Qu Ling tooted her mouth and said nothing.
Prime Minister Jiang Cheng couldn't get angry when he looked at his granddaughter.
Gently sighed and said, "you are a married daughter. You are not married to the royal family. You won't affect your mother's family. Don't worry."
Generally, only a woman married to the royal family will be involved in her mother's family if something happens. There is no such saying in the courtiers and people's homes.
Xiao Jingyue didn't enter the jade ultimatum, and he wasn't even a royal son.
Qu Ling was relieved when she heard the speech.
It was already dark when I left the prime minister's house.
Qu Ling said to Chu Yu, "I'm going back to the general's house. Go back, too."
Chu Yu looked at her expressionless and didn't speak.
Qu Ling thought for a while and said, "if you can, I hope you don't do bad things with your adoptive father. Go to Murong villa to find Murong."
Referring to Murong banquet, Chu Yu's expression fluctuated slightly.
What should be said had been said, and Qu Ling said no more. She waved her hand and walked alone in the direction of the general's house.
I don't know if she was staring outside the general's house. Qu Ling didn't dare to go through the front door. She made a big circle, found a remote place, climbed the wall and went in.
At the moment when his feet fell to the ground, someone immediately shouted, "who dares to intrude into the general's house!"
Immediately after, a group of guards carrying lanterns rushed here.
Qu Ling looked at them and didn't speak.
I don't know whether there are spies in the general's house. If you expose your identity, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"What's the matter?" a black figure came from behind the bodyguard's encirclement.
Qu Ling heard the sound and looked at the visitor.
Xiao was stunned when he saw the woman under the wall. He suddenly thought of something, and his eyes immediately changed.
He pressed down his heart, tightened his face and ordered the bodyguard: "take it down!"
"Yes." the bodyguard immediately came forward to hold Qu Ling and escorted her to the direction of the dungeon.
Qu Ling didn't struggle. She was so clever that she attracted the attention of other bodyguards. She thought, where is this stupid thief.
Until Xiao Yi whispered, the stunned bodyguards took their places. Those who should patrol continued to patrol.
After Qu Ling was taken down, Xiao Yi didn't immediately follow up, but ran back to the study and whispered to Xiao Er, who was guarding outside the study, "madam is back."
Xiao ER was stunned and immediately asked, "where are people?"
"Dungeon."
“……”
Xiao Er glanced at Xiao with a look at the dead. Without saying anything, he rushed to the direction of the dungeon.
They need to stand guard outside the study, so Xiao Yi didn't follow. He was happy and painful to think about how to apologize to his wife later.
After Xiao Er went to the dungeon, he quietly turned away the bodyguard guarding the door of the cell and entered the dungeon quickly.
Quickly find Qu Ling's cell, take out her sword and split the lock.
Qu Ling, who was squatting in the corner of the wall to exchange "prison experience" with the mouse in the cell, heard the movement, took off her hat on her head and turned to look at Xiao er.
Xiao Er tentatively called, "madam?"
After the time when the royal guards were disguised, many people in the general's house were afraid. Everyone seemed to be disguised by the enemy.
Qu Ling stared at him for a while and asked softly, "is Xiao Jingyue awake?"
Although Xiao ER was still not sure whether she was true or false, he shook his head and replied, "not yet."
Qu Ling frowned and lowered her head in disappointment.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Er asked, "madam, are you going to see the master?"
Qu Ling nodded, paused, and then gently shook her head, "forget it, wait until he wakes up."
Now, she didn't know what kind of mood to see him, even if he was unconscious.
Half an hour later, Xiao Er returned to his study.
Xiao, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time outside his study, saw that he came back alone and hurriedly asked, "where are the people?"
Xiao Er pondered for a moment and whispered, "let's go."
Xiao Yi stared in disbelief, "you just let my husband... Let her go?"
He said he was going to rob the prison. They wouldn't let him. Now that people have run out, they don't keep people?
Xiao Er sighed and said helplessly, "she wants to go back to the prison. What can I do?"
The master told them to obey the master's mother's orders before removing the Gu. The master's mother wants to leave. He can't force people to stay.
When Qu Ling left the general's house, it was already dark.
It was still raining. Qu Ling walked aimlessly in the street. She didn't know where to go for a while.
You can't live in an inn. It's easy to expose your identity. For today's sake, you can only find a place where there is no one to sleep for one night.
Qu Ling was about to turn around when her shoulder was suddenly pressed.
