Ai Qiaoqiao spends her days in the barracks.

From time to time, the news of caring for Anseong reached her ears.

Qin Cha was killed, the case was finally traced to Tianxianglou, and the four princes showed their true identity in a private visit, and took out the holy edict...... Tianxiang Building was seized.

Everything moves forward as a matter of course.

But as the days passed, the person she was hoping for still did not appear.

It was like rain that had been falling for six or seven days in a row, and the gloomy clouds seemed to weigh on her chest.

Faintly, she felt a little uneasy.

Something can't happen to the night, right?

Another day passed, and on this day Zhang Wu brought her an acquaintance.

"Wakakoe?" Seeing Ruo Huaixi, Ai Qiaoqiao was ecstatic, he was Ye Lixi's best friend, and when he arrived here, it meant that everything was fine.

Ruo Huaixi looked at Ai Qiaoqiao, who was wearing a soldier's clothes, and smiled: "If I don't come to pick you up again, I'm afraid you will become a tomboy." ”

He brought a few sets of women's clothes and asked Ai Qiaoqiao to change them into.

Ai Qiaoqiao also picked a set for Tong Tong to change.

"Where did this kid come from?" Ruo Wai Xi asked.

Ai Qiaoqiao briefly told what happened on the mountain.

"She's got a golden lock?" Ruo Waixi was surprised, "Show me." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao took off the longevity lock on Tong Tong's body and showed him.

Ruo Huaixi took the longevity lock in his hand, looked at it over and over, and finally stopped at a line of small words on the back of the lock.

"Sure enough......," he gasped, "this lock is a palace object." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao's eyes widened, could it be that Tong Tong came from the palace?

Ruo Huaixi returned the longevity lock to Ai Qiaoqiao, and said in a low voice: "This matter should not be publicized, and we will talk about it when we return to Huai'an City first." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao and Tong Tong changed their clothes and followed Ruo Huaixi out of the tent.

Ai Qiaoqiao had something to ask, but she couldn't say it, and her heart was full of thoughts.

Ruo Huaixi smiled, "Don't worry, Ye Bing and Aunt Ji are fine, and your brother will naturally be safe that night." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao raised her little face and said excitedly: "...... Is Big Brother Night here too? ”

"Of course, we'll pick you up." Ruo Huaixi smiled, "It's just that he still has some things to do, so let me come over to see you first, I haven't seen you for many days, and he also misses you." Suddenly, he lowered his voice and stepped forward, "Since you have no news, he has been haunted, fortunately I see that you are in better condition, don't dislike him when I see him." ”

"How could I be disgusted?" Ai Qiaoqiao didn't know why.

Ruo Huaixi's eyes narrowed, "There are some things that shouldn't be said by me, but I think since he and Qiaoqiao are friends, I might as well give you a heads-up first." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao stood still and said seriously, "If the son, please speak." ”

Ruo Huaixi paused, "Nalan clearly wanted to catch you, so he spread rumors in Huai'an City, saying that you ...... Say that you have been dishonored in the rebellion......"

Ai Qiaoqiao raised her little face and looked at Ruo Huaixi's mouth one by one.

If Huaixi said something later, she didn't hear it clearly, she only felt that the rumbling in her ears was like thunder, and it sounded like thunder.

Rumors spread in the city...... Disgraced......

Ruo Huaixi saw her pale face, and hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, Ye Gongzi naturally knows that this is a rumor and has never believed it, so he delayed in the city for a few more days, in order to give you justice." ”

Outside the tent, the drizzle fell in a pour, and after a while, people's clothes were wet, even if someone held up an oil-paper umbrella for them, they still couldn't resist the inexplicable cold brought by the drizzle.

Ruo Huaixi continued, "If you count it, this matter is still because of him, Nalan Ming wants to force him to use three life-saving needles to save the lives of the three princes, so it has become the current situation, he feels that he has affected you, and these days he has been busy taking down Tianxianglou with His Royal Highness the Fourth, and he has been sick for several days, and you will see him in a while, don't mention those days in the mountains." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao quickly came to her senses.

It is said that husband and wife are one body, but I didn't expect her to realize the true intention of this sentence in this matter.

She was not happy, and he felt it.

When something went wrong, he tried his best to make up for it, trying to save everything.

However, with such a big mess, it is so difficult to save everything.

Ruo Huaixi took her and Tong Tong out of the barracks.

Several horse-drawn carriages were parked outside the barracks.

Ai Qiaoqiao was able to recognize the carriage of Yicaotang, so he let Tong Tong get into the carriage first, and turned around to say goodbye to Zhang Wu, but saw that Zhang Wu was whispering to Ruo Huaixi.

“…… The Night Doctor has gone to see the girl, if I prepare another carriage, if the Night God Doctor will take the girl back with him, it will not be good for the person to be in the same car with Qiaoqiao. Zhang Wu said in a low voice.

Ai Qiaoqiao's heart couldn't help but move.

The girl?

Except for Xiaoyan, she couldn't think of any woman who would take the initiative to meet after leaving the night.

"Brother Wu." Ai Qiaoqiao called, "Where is Big Brother Night now, I want to see him." ”

Zhang Wu glanced at Ruo Huaixi awkwardly.

Ruo Huaixi cleared his throat, "He will come back when he is done, you better go to the car and wait for him first." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao refused to go back to the car.

"I'm going to see him now, Brother Wu, you take me there."

Zhang Wu couldn't refuse Ai Qiaoqiao's request at all.

Ruo Huaixi had no choice but to nod.

Zhang Wu took Ai Qiaoqiao back into the barracks, and the two came to a tent where prisoners were held.

The light rain made the ground muddy, and Zhang Wu took the initiative to help her take the umbrella in her hand, held it high, and put it on her head.

There were a lot of people gathered in the tent, which was unexpected by Ai Qiaoqiao.

Zhang Wu saw the confusion in her eyes, so he said in a low voice: "They are all from the official mansion of Huai'an City, and they came with the night doctor. ”

The two of them walked to the door of the tent and heard someone inside shouting, "Bring the little goose." ”

"Yes." Two soldiers raised their voices to receive the order.

Ai Qiaoqiao had to stop his steps and stand at the door of the tent with Zhang Wu.

After a while, a few people walked in from outside, and it was Xiao Yan who walked among the two soldiers.

Xiao Yan raised his head, crossed his eyes with Ai Qiaoqiao, and looked face to face.

Xiao Yan was stunned, and Ai Qiaoqiao was also a little surprised.

Xiao Yan looked like this, she almost didn't recognize her.

In the past, she was always dressed like a fairy, but now she looks like an old woman.

With his hair scattered and his body wearing the clothes of a soldier, under his snow-white skin, there were bruises everywhere, and the corners of his lips were broken, and blood beads were stained on it, making him look extremely cherry red.

Anyone who sees her will see that this person has lost his reputation.

Xiao Yan didn't expect to see Ai Qiaoqiao here, but after being stunned, he screamed: "Qiaoqiao, why aren't you dead!" ”

The trace of compassion that had just sprung up in Ai Qiaoqiao's heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

When everyone in the tent heard the voice, they all turned their heads to look at the door.

In the crowd, Ai Qiaoqiao saw the face she was most familiar with.

Ye Liyan was wearing a half-arm black veil, lined with a purple robe, with a purple lotus around his waist and a tassel.

A man like a purple bell flower, mysterious and distant, it is never possible to guess what he is thinking.

He never seemed to have changed, he was still the same as when they first saw each other.

He stood in the crowd and watched her, focused and calm, with his usual condensation temperament.

Only the fingers he tucked in his sleeve revealed his true heart.

Clenching his ten fingers, he forced himself to stand in place, his cold gaze turned to Xiao Yan, and said quietly: "Xiao Yan, what do you have to say until now, why have you never repented?" ”
