Chapter 295: The Real Wicked
With Li Wenfeng's assurance, An Xiabai really let go of her heart, a shallow smile on the corner of her lips, and walked quickly to Xiaodong Xiaoxue's side.
As a mother, she really didn't want to leave her two young children, but she had to go. At this time, the intersection between them and Li Wenfeng is not deep on the surface, if they don't hand over Xiaodong Xiaoxue to Li Wenfeng to take away, they will have to suffer together, which is what An Xiabai is even more unwilling to do.
She sighed silently in her heart, half-lowered her body and kissed Xiao Dong Elementary School on the cheek.
Compared with the heavy mood of the adults, the children are much more relaxed, even if they are carried out of the room by Zhou, they are still asleep, and they do not feel their mother's reluctance to them at all.
"When you follow your grandfather, be obedient and don't make a fuss."
After An Xiabai whispered, she turned around and walked back to Lu Li's side, she originally wanted to leave directly with Lu Li as originally planned, but as soon as she took a step, she was held tightly by Lu Liuer.
"Sister-in-law, take me with you!" Lu Liu'er whispered, "I promise that I won't cause you trouble all the way, as long as you tell me, I will do it, as long as you take me to the border with you!" β
An Xiabai and Lu Li glanced at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
It's not easy to go to the border pass this way, maybe you will be caught up by the chasing soldiers halfway through, isn't Lu Liuer in danger? Not to mention whether Lu Li and An Xiabai are willing or not, the first one of the Zhou family stood up and objected: "What are you going to do with them, the border pass is not a fun place, how many hardships have passed along the way, your brother and sister-in-law don't want you to go for your sake, why do you insist?" β
In the past, as long as the Zhou family started at the beginning, Lu Liuer would not insist, but now she doesn't know what's going on, she still pulls An Xiabai's sleeve tightly.
Qingxiu's face was full of determination.
"I really want to follow my brother and sister-in-law to the border gate."
This is the first time that Lu Liuer has lived for so many years and wants to insist on something, and seeing her like this, Zhou was stunned.
"Why are you so insistent?"
Lu Liu'er didn't speak, but the shy expression of her half-lowered eyes already showed everything.
She is for Liu Fengfeng.
is also a person who has someone in her heart, coupled with the news of Zhang Xiaodong's death that Lu Li told them a few days ago, An Xiabai can understand her current mood, thinking that she is going anyway, Lu Li's taking care of one person is similar to taking care of two people, not to mention that the two of them may not be together along the way, An Xiabai has a long way to go by herself, and it is good to take care of Lu Liu'er, so her mind is a little shaken.
"Liu'er, have you really decided?"
"I've already thought about it!" Lu Liu'er understood that she had a play, so she nodded firmly, she knew that An Xiabai and Lu Li would not object, the problem was mainly on Zhou's side, so she turned her head back and persuaded Zhou, "Mother, you just let me go with me, anyway, with my brother and sister-in-law by my side, I can take care of each other, and I will be careful myself along the way, so don't stop me." β
Zhou furrowed his brows, and there were faint tears flashing in his eyes.
She has two children, Lu Li and Lu Liuer go to the border together, what if something happens? She had the idea of persuasion, but there was no way to persuade her, and she could only nod tearfully in Lu Liu'er's pleading-like eyes.
"That's it, if you want to go, go ahead."
"Thank you, Mother!"
After the Zhou family agreed, An Xiabai and Lu Li's nods became logical, and when the people on King Li's side had not reacted to block the city gate, they left the capital in a hurry, and then parted on the bank of a river in the capital.
"I have to go to the barracks to explain some things, and I can't go to you in two days, and during this time, you will stay at Miss Qin's side and wait for me to come."
When they were separated, Lu Li couldn't help but babble.
An Xiabai couldn't hold back a laugh, and a kiss fell lightly on his cheek.
"Husband, you must remember to take care of yourself when you go."
Lu Li's heart was quickened, and he nodded with a smile and said, "I know the severity, madam, you just have to rest assured." β
After the two said goodbye, they went separately, Lu Li went to the military camp by land to explain the matter, while An Xiabai went down the river, because they had planned it for a long time, they didn't walk long along the river waterway, and they saw two familiar figures.
It was Qin Shuang'er and Chang Wen who came over.
An Xia's eyes lit up, and he waved at them again and again.
"Mrs. Lu, you can be regarded as here, I have never seen you when I walked along the waterway with Brother Chang, and the whole person was about to burn up." Qin Shuang'er took An Xiabai's hand, looked the person up and down, and only after making sure that there were no injuries on his body did he put his mind at ease, "This is not a good place to talk, let's go back first." β
An Xiabai agreed with a smile, looking at Qin Shuang'er and Chang Wen with a smile and turning around, it seems that the relationship between these two people is much smoother than he imagined.
While speaking, the group had already come to the house where Qin Shuang'er lived temporarily, it was a wooden house, not far from the river bank, it was hidden in the woods, and the layout was also extremely simple, if it wasn't for intentional inspection, ordinary people might not notice that there was a small room here. It's a good place for Tibetans,
Qin Shuang'er saw An Xiabai looking at the wooden house in a blink of an eye, so she subconsciously touched her cheek, looking a little embarrassed.
"This wooden house is a temporary residence, I only thought about being able to avoid the pursuers, and I didn't think about the living conditions, so the environment is a little simple, I hope Mrs. Lu will not dislike it."
An Xiabai shook his head and smiled faintly: "Things have developed to this point, it is very good to have a place to stay, and nothing else is actually not important,"
The most important thing right now is safety.
It turns out that the wooden house where Qin Shuang'er lives is a good place for Tibetans, and An Xiabai has lived here for a few days, and no news has spread at all.
She was happy on one side, but someone was annoyed on the other.
With a bang, the precious tea set on the table, along with the folds sent forward, were all swept to the ground by King Li.
"She still didn't say?"
The subordinates knelt in front of him tremblingly, their bodies trembled as if they were sifting chaff, and even their voices couldn't help but tremble: "The queen mother has nothing to say, no matter how the people below interrogate her, she doesn't reveal a little tone." β
King Li hated itchy: "I didn't expect her mouth to be so tight, but I used to underestimate her!" Since you don't say it, then continue to torture, when you say it, when you give her food and whom, this king wants to see if her body is harder, or her mouth is harder! β
When the subordinate heard this, a look of hesitation flashed on his face.
"But Your Highness, this is already the fourth day......"
Who would dare to believe it, this was the statement when he came to report two days ago, and what King Li said at that time was also torturing the queen, and now it is the same, if it continues like this, the queen may not be able to hold on.
"What about four days? Don't want to live well until she lets go! β
King Li's heart crackled, but it was a pity that people were not as good as heaven, and before his plan could continue to spread, the news that the queen was not good had already taken the lead.
King Li's case was raised.
He didn't expect that the usually weak and loving queen could become like this now, so he was a little flustered: "I'll go and see her." β
By the time he hurried to the palace where the queen lived, the queen was already lying on the bed, and she was hanging for her life.
She knew she was going to die, but her attitude was extremely calm.
"You're really not afraid of death at all?" King Li looked at the woman lying on the bed with a somewhat complicated expression.
Compared with her usual appearance, the queen has lost a lot of weight, and now she looks like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© person, her face is dull, emaciated and haggard, but her eyes are bright, like the brightest stars at night, and when she saw King Li coming, the corners of her lips even hooked up a smile.
Creepy smile.
"You can kill the emperor with your hands, why don't you tell his secret?"
The corners of the queen's lips were still smiling, but the mood in her eyes had changed, and she looked at King Li as if she was looking at a fool: "My child is so good, and the emperor was so wary of our mother and son before his death, how could he tell me his secret?" If he really wanted to trust me, he wouldn't have died so miserably. β
The implication is that the queen does not know the so-called secret.
King Li's breath was suffocated, and he suddenly realized that he had never seen the woman in front of him clearly.
"Since you don't know, why don't you just be honest from the beginning?" She made herself look like this, she obviously didn't want to continue living, right?
The queen had a breezy smile on her face, but there was a paranoid, crazy mood in her eyes.
"The day the prince died, I didn't want to live anymore."
Hearing her words, King Li began to be angry, when he was a prince in the past, he was manipulated many times by the queen and the emperor openly and secretly, and now he successfully rebelled, and even the emperor died, but he was still played by this woman like a dog, and this realization made him fall into a paranoid anger.
"Can this king understand that you are playing tricks on me?"
The queen nodded and answered.
These two simple words successfully aroused the anger of King Li, and the blood in his whole body began to boil.
"Well, it's you." Angry to the extreme, but turned into a smile, King Li sneered, called two guards, "Since you have no intention of continuing to live, then this king will kindly give you a ride." You two, send the queen to the well on the east side of the palace. β
The two guards were stunned, their eyes widened in disbelief at King Li's words.
"Let you go, you can go, don't get out of here!"
The guards did as they were told.
Even in the face of death, the expression on the queen's face was still indifferent, as if the person who was about to die in humiliation was not herself at all.
