386: Prepare to flee
The cold moon shone on the courtyard, and the wind at night was a little cool.
Inside the room, a candle flame burned faintly, and from time to time it made a 'crackling' sound.
The night is as cool as water, and the moon passes through the middle of the sky.
In the night wind, Nanting slowly pushed open the door of the room, and then saw Xia Ruan and Du Lan sitting at the small table.
After Duran came back from Cinnabar, he had a high fever, and Duran's face was flushed at this time, and his lips were a little dry.
After she saw Nanting, she couldn't help but cheer up, "Nanting Gongzi, is it now?" My husband and I are ready. β
Xia Ruan had already told Du Lan about this matter, but Du Lan's illness at this time was too inopportune.
She was weak but still pretending to be strong, and the candle light shone on her countenance, making her face even paler.
"Hmm." Cinnabar looked at Duran's appearance clearly, frowning slightly, "Miss Duran, are you okay?" β
Duran quickly widened his eyes, revealing a spirit appearance: "I'm fine, I'm fine." β
Xia Ruan looked at Du Lan with a worried expression.
She kept using a wet towel to cool down Duran, but Duran's body heat was getting higher and higher, which made Xia Ruan a little at a loss.
Duran knew that this opportunity was not easy to come by, so she kept reassuring Xia Ruan that she was okay. Duran told Xia Ruan that if Xia Ruan couldn't leave because of her, she would simply die in front of Xia Ruan first, so that she wouldn't continue to drag Xia Ruan down. Duran said resolutely, Xia Ruan knew that if she didn't agree to Duran, then Duran would definitely do such a thing.
Nanting thought for a long time before comforting Xia Ruan and said. He'll take care of Duran. Because, Duran and Xia Ruan's carriage must be separated.
Together, he arranged ten wagons, eight of which ran in eight different directions. And Xia Ruan and his carriage walked privately through the secret passage in the village, and this secret passage was the way Mo Yan entered.
Du Lan followed Nanting behind, and Xia Ruan walked in front.
Even if he was discovered by Cinnabar, he could still delay time, because Duran was Xia Ruan's personal girl, and Cinnabar would not be too suspicious.
After this matter was settled in this way. Xia Ruan felt a little uneasy in her heart.
She knows. A lot will happen tonight, and a lot of people will die.
However, she had to leave.
As a mother, if you can't protect the child in your womb. Then a qiΔ makes no sense.
"Let's get ready." Nanting thought for a moment. He lowered his voice. "Mo Yan's carriage is about to enter the village in half a moment, and the distance from this village to the capital is less than 100 miles, but there are many obstacles. The qiΔ here was personally arranged by Princess Changjun. You have to be very careful. β
Princess Changjun lived in this village for a while, and Princess Changjun was a strange woman who knew astronomy and geography. She set up a lot of obstacles at the entrance of this village, which was originally to prevent outsiders from entering the village and disturbing her peaceful life. However, these obstacles have remained until now, and they have also become obstacles to their leaving the village.
For this eldest princess, anyone can despise her, but he can't.
He'd seen this woman and knew how powerful she was.
People outside say that Changjun is boasted too high by the world, so he will leave a powerful reputation. But in reality, this is not the case.
After Princess Changjun returned to Jinglu with the prince of Jinglu, she assisted the prince of Jinglu's government, and in less than three years, Jinglu became a country that was feared by Nixi.
In the past, because the land was scarce, and the people were not as many as the Nissi country, they were ignored by the Nissi country for many years. But in just three years, Jinglu has become one of the great powers in the Western Regions, if it weren't for the early death of Changjun, Jinglu can definitely stand side by side with Nixi now.
Nanting frowned, remembering the matter of Cinnabar and Changjun, he felt that he had to let his younger brother go, because his younger brother's temperament was a bit like Princess Changjun.
There are no rules for what he does, and every qiΔ changes with his mood.
However, Cinnabar is cautious, so over the years, he has also planted it in Xiao Jiu's hands once. Other times, it's perfect, without the slightest flaw.
Seeing that Xia Ruan didn't speak, Du Lan leaned sideways to comfort Xia Ruan, "Madam, don't worry, you will be fine." After a few hours, you can return to Hou Ye's side. β
When Duran said these words, his whole person was weak. She had to use all her strength to make herself look a little more energetic.
"Madam, you remember what you promised the slave maid, you must go back well." Duran's eyes were a little sour when he said this, "You must remember." β
Duran always thought that it was her fault that Xia Ruan would be caught by Cinnabar. If she hadn't encouraged Xia Ruan to go out and walk around, she wouldn't have seen such a thing. In private, Duran blamed himself many times, and now he finally has a chance to get Xia Ruan out of here.
She was unwilling, because of herself, Xia Ruan couldn't leave.
So just after noon today, Duran prayed to Xia Ruan that he must leave well and not worry about her. Du Lan told Xia Ruan that she already knew Nanting's thoughts, so she believed that Nanting would not put her in danger.
Xia Ruan was a little stunned, but also a little happy.
Because Du Lan said to Xia Ruan: "The slave and maid like him, and the slave and maid want to be his wife, so madam, you can leave with confidence, and the slave and maid will definitely return well." β
She didn't know what it was like to love someone before, and it wasn't until she met Nanting later that this qiΔ changed somewhat.
However, she already understood Nanting's thoughts.
Now she hasn't made it too clear to Nanting, because Duran is afraid that if she dies on the way, Nanting will blame herself.
If Nanting didn't know that she had fallen in love with him, then she died, and Nanting wouldn't feel too much regret.
After all, love is consensual.
Xia Ruan looked at Du Lan's expression, and then nodded heavily.
At this time, the wooden door outside the courtyard was pushed open, and a group of people in black night clothes walked in, and Nanting blocked in front of Xia Ruan and Du Lan, and asked, "Who?" β
The men in black night clothes held the swords in their hands, and they slowly approached the room. After approaching, he knelt on the ground, "Fifth prince, my subordinates will take you out of here." β
They didn't speak in loud voices, but Duran was stunned when they listened.
Prince? The Five Princes?
Xia Ruan didn't notice Du Lan's expression, but quickly stood up and tightened the cloak on his body.
"I see." Nanting turned to Xia Ruan and instructed, "I'll ask Alu to take you out of here, don't make a noise or speak after you get into the carriage...... Also, don't look back at us. What's going on out there. It's none of your business. Got it? β
This way is to be killed.
Moreover, this time, Nanting did not dare to sue Xia Ruan. The people who killed them along the way. Who the hell is it.
Xia Ruan nodded. The eyes were firm: "I know, thank you Nanting Gongzi." β
The corners of Nanting's lips jumped slightly, and his expression was a little helpless.
She shouldn't have thanked him...... This thing. He didn't really put much effort into it.
There are some things that he deceived Xia Ruan after all, and he didn't dare to tell Xia Ruan too thoroughly.
I just hope that after Xia Ruan goes back, he won't blame him for not saying too much.
Nan Ting took a deep breath and instructed the kneeling people on the ground, "Ah Lu, remember what I told you before, you can't let Mrs. Chang'an Hou have an accident, you must send her to Chang'an Hou safely." Is the qiΔ outside all ready? β
"Back to the five princes, they are all ready." After Alu took off the black veil, the scar on his face was also revealed, "The people sent by Niangniang are all outside ready to respond." β
After Du Lan helped Xia Ruan up, he smiled and said to Xia Ruan: "Madam, after you go back, tell Sister SΓΉ that the slave wants to eat the dishes she cooks." Let her prepare something delicious for the slave maid, who has been starving lately. β
Xia Ruan's heart was very sour, she knew that Du Lan said these words to make her relax.
"Well, I'll ask her to cook you lots and lots of delicious food, and give you whatever you want to eat." Xia Ruan held back the tears in his eyes and replied softly, "There is also the lotus seed soup you like to eat on West Street, I will buy them and wait for you to come back." β
When Duran heard this, his heart felt as if something was choking.
She has been by Xia Ruan's side for so many years, and Xia Ruan has never regarded her as a subordinate. Even what she likes to eat, Xia Ruan remembers it clearly.
Duran thought that even if she did die in this escape today, she would not blame anyone.
It's just that...... Duran looked at Nanting beside her, and his expression was a little complicated.
Ah Lu walked in front of Xia Ruan, and then blessedly said, "Mrs. Chang'an Hou, please come with the little one." β
Duran held Xia Ruan's hand tightly, and then quickly let go. She smiled at Xia Ruan and waved at Xia Ruan again.
When Xia Ruan and Alu disappeared at the door of the small courtyard, Du Lan collapsed and sat down on the ground.
She felt as if she had been put in the fire, and she was very uncomfortable.
Her mind was a little confused, and when Xia Ruan left, she relaxed.
"Duran?" Nanting saw that Du Lan's body was paralyzed, and then he quickly pulled it, his movements were always slower. Duran sat on the ground, "Are you still uncomfortable?" β
Nanting put his hand on Duran's forehead and moved away in shock.
Duran's forehead was hot, and Duran's eyes were also blank.
It can be seen how much strength Du Lan used in front of Xia Ruan just now to maintain his sanity.
Nanting was a little sad, he picked up Duran from the ground, and Duran subconsciously shrank into his arms.
The little girl who is full of arrogance on weekdays is like a quiet puppet at this time, and she is not very well-behaved.
"Let's go." Nanting lowered his head and ripped off the ribbon wrapped around his eyes. The ribbon soon fell to the ground, and his brown eyes looked very good in the night, "We need to get out of here quickly." β
The other men in black nodded and said in unison, "Yes." β
Nanting looked at Du Lan in his arms and smiled softly: "Du Lan, bear with me, I will take you out of here immediately." (To be continued......)
