Chapter 116: The Departure of Qi Chun

Duanyue always felt that there was one thing in her heart that she hadn't let go, she subconsciously glanced back at the door behind her, and through the open door, she clearly saw the two people inside. She turned her face sideways www.biquge.info saw the eyes of Cuiguo standing beside her, and she also inadvertently glanced in that direction.

"By the way, did you see Sister Qichun today?" After thinking about it carefully, I realized that I hadn't seen Qichun since the morning. Duanyue felt a little guilty about Qichun, she traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an City alone, but was put aside by Duanyue and left out in the cold.

Cuiguo was a little dazed by Duanyue's sudden question, and she shook her head. "If I haven't seen Miss Qichun, will I still stay in the house?" After all, Qichun is not familiar with the place, and there is no place to go except to stay in Ninghou's Mansion.

With this thought, Duanyue also nodded in agreement with Cuiguo's statement. She waved the single clothes she was wearing lightly, lifted the Piang that had slipped on her arms to her shoulders, and walked gracefully towards the place where Qichun lived. Since Lu Qingyi woke up, Duanyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and even her steps were full of joy.

"Cuiguo, have you heard any rumors about Ninghou Mansion outside?" Duanyue walked forward without looking back.

Cuiguo shook her head when she heard this. "Uncle Tong has warned the people in the house that this matter cannot be spread, otherwise he will be severely punished." She told Duanyue everything she knew.

Duanyue nodded in agreement. She wasn't afraid that Lu Qingyi's injury would spread, causing Princess Sheng An to get angry. Duanyue's biggest concern was that the wind disobeyed the military order and rushed back to Chang'an City from Yanzhou without the emperor's order. If this is known by those who have a heart, it will definitely be crowned with a crime of "bullying the king".

"You go and tell me when the time comes, don't even tell outsiders about the Hou Ye's return! I'm not going to let him get better. Seeing her gritted teeth, Cuiguo hurriedly nodded and agreed.

Between the words of the two, they paced outside the courtyard where Qichun lived. It was still quiet, like the last time Duanyue came to find the scene of the spring. She frowned, wondering if she wouldn't be able to pounce again, right?

Duanyue was in a hurry, so she stepped into the courtyard and opened the door of the main house with a "bang". She hurriedly walked into it, and looked around, but sure enough, it was empty. And the quilts and pillows on the beds are neatly folded, and the house is also very clean. Duanyue sensitively found that there were no private belongings in the house.

"It seems that Miss Qichun is not here." Cuiguo looked around and smiled helplessly at Duanyue. "Forget it, the county lord."

"No, no, no. You see, in this house, there is not a single private belongings of Sister Qichun, and there are no clothes and salutes, as if no one has ever lived there. Go ahead and ask what's going on! Duanyue keenly felt that there must be something wrong with it, and immediately became anxious.

But Cuiguo didn't think so, she felt that Qichun was just going out for a walk, and there was nothing strange about it.

"The county lord doesn't have to worry, maybe Miss Qichun went out for a walk, didn't she go out alone before?" Cuiguo smiled lightly and persuaded Duanyue.

Duanyue was annoyed when she saw her like this. Frowning, his tone raised a little. "Why don't you ask! If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if! ”

Seeing that Duanyue was anxious and didn't dare to provoke her anymore, he immediately ran to the main gate to ask the guards. But this question didn't ask a reason, they all looked at each other and said that they hadn't seen Qichun, and then Cuiguo really felt that the problem was serious. She bit her lower lip, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. She was afraid that if she let Duanyue know that this big living person had disappeared out of thin air under her nose, she would be furious.

She put all the chips on Uncle Tong, and immediately ran to Uncle Tong's room, and saw him lying on his back on the chair to take a nap, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why don't you wait by the county lord, what are you doing in my old thing's house?" Uncle Tong didn't raise his eyelids, just hearing Cuiguo's hurried footsteps, he knew that something had happened to her.

Cuiguo didn't go around in circles with Uncle Tong, and told Uncle Tong the problem directly. "Why did that Miss Qichun who lived in Dongyuan suddenly disappear? I went to ask the guard at the door, and I said I didn't see it, so where can I go? ”

Uncle Tong raised his loose eyelids slightly, glanced at Cuiguo standing in front of him meaningfully, and smiled first when he saw her anxious look. "I estimate that at this time, Miss Qichun should be about to walk out of Chang'an City." His body shook slightly, and the rocking chair sitting under him swayed back and forth frequently, even if he looked at it, he felt comfortable.

"Miss Qichun has already set off for Chenzhou. She was embarrassed to tell the county lord, so she asked me to help tell her. ”

"Back to Chenzhou? When did it happen? Cuiguo seemed to can't believe her ears, she never expected that Qichun would say goodbye. If Duanyue knew about this, he would inevitably scold himself.

"It was only an hour and a half ago. At that time, it was estimated that the county lord and the marquis were taking care of the county lord of Jinzhao, so no one found out when Miss Qichun left. Cuiguo thought carefully about an hour and a half ago, when Lu Qingyi had just woken up, and indeed everyone was busy with their own things. She went to find Doctor Ye, and Duanyue went down to order her subordinates, and Yan Feng also stayed in the house to take care of Lu Qingyi, and everyone didn't notice the Qi Chun who had no sense of existence.

Uncle Tong added again. "Miss Qichun should have left through the back door, she doesn't want anyone to know that she is gone."

Cuiguo nodded thoughtfully to Uncle Tong and thanked him, and slowly walked back to Duanyue with heavy steps, burying his head deeply, not daring to touch Duanyue's tentative eyes.

Seeing her with her head down, Duanyue actually had a premonition in her heart, and she knew at a glance that Qichun would not come back. "What are you still doing in a daze, say it quickly!"

"The county lord...... Miss Qichun seemed to have returned to Chenzhou, just an hour and a half ago. She pursed her lips and guessed to herself. I think it should be Miss Qichun who learned that the county lord of Jinzhao had woken up, and she was afraid that she would cause trouble for you and Lord Hou, so she left first. You don't have to blame, county lord. ”

After listening to Cuiguo's advice, Duanyue sighed. In fact, she was not surprised by this move by Qi Chun, who was such a person who did not want to cause trouble to others. When she stayed in Ninghou Mansion, she felt that she was a superfluous person, and she felt uncomfortable staying for one more day. Lu Qingyi's awakening sent her a message, allowing her to find a reason to return to Chenzhou.

"County Lord, do you want me to send someone to chase Miss Qichun back?"

Duanyue waved her hand and turned away from this quiet and uninhabited courtyard with a little loneliness. "Forget it, she doesn't want to be here, so she doesn't have to force it to stay."
