Mei Xiaoren was not the only one who had no sleep this night, Liuyue had been taken away for most of the day, and Li Qingqing was still sitting alone on the high wall, waiting for someone to come back in the wind.

She often sat on it, but she was still afraid of heights, and only dared to sit at the battlement, and today she was extra cautious, not daring to sit too far outside, because the person who would protect her was not there, and she had to protect herself.

The night sky on the outskirts of the capital is beautiful, full of stars, the same as Xuanzhou.

She often feels homesick, and now she likes the sky here, looking up at the stars, and there is only one person in her mind.

There were still tears in her eyes, why did she always put people who were good to her in danger? First, Sister Mei lost her future in order to save her, and then the Metropolitan Governor was taken away by His Majesty in order to protect her...... On the contrary, she, the most useless person, was unscathed.

Li Qingqing thought of this, and another warm tear crossed his cheek and fell silently.

She was sitting on pins and needles here, worried and scared. Sister Mei was safe last time, she was protected by the Prime Minister, and now that the Prime Minister is not here, what should Liuyue do?

Li Qingqing's slight sobbing sound was particularly clear in the quiet night, and because of this clarity, her figure seemed lonely in the night.

She has begun to regret that she did not leave Beijing with the Prime Minister and go back to Xuanzhou, even if she can't see her again, it is better than hurting Liuyue......

Her selfish desires actually sowed trouble for him.

The cool breeze blew all night, and the sky was white, and Li Qingqing was still sitting on the high wall, refusing to go down. Her eyes were blank and she was still looking into the distance, but the barren landscape was still barren.

She wore thin clothes, and she carried it all night, and she began to sneeze before dawn, her cheeks were very hot, and her whole body was cold.

At dawn, Li Qingqing lay on the wall and took a nap and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she didn't know the time, only that someone had woken her up.

She woke up suddenly, but it was not Liuyue who came to call her, but a Xuanyi guard.

Xuanyiwei said: "Miss Li, the old prime minister sent someone to pick up the girl, let's go." ”

"Let's go?" Li Qingqing frowned, turned his eyes to look at the high wall, where a carriage was parked, and asked puzzledly, "Old Prime Minister?" ”

She knew that the old prime minister was the father of the prime minister, and she heard that the old prime minister had retired to the mountains and forests and did not ask about the government, and now she suddenly sent someone to pick her up, which shows that things are not simple.

"Girl, go quickly, the girl is a friend of Madame, and the old prime minister sent someone to pick up the girl, it should be Madame's intention."

Li Qingqing still looked into the distance reluctantly, she waited all night, but she couldn't wait for him to come back, she wanted to stay and continue to wait, but she couldn't disobey the old prime minister's order, so she had to nod.

As soon as she stood up, her brain was dizzy, and after a few steps, her feet began to go weak again, and before long, a feeling of drowsiness hit, and she quickly lost consciousness.

"Girl......"

Li Qingqing had already closed his eyes and was unconscious.

Li Qingqing didn't know how long he had been dizzy, but he only noticed that he was lying on a hard bed, and his body was extremely tired. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a closed window, and it was already bright outside.

"The girl is awake?"

Li Qingqing saw a strange middle-aged man standing next to the bed again, and immediately became vigilant.

"You...... Who are you? Li Qingqing asked in a panic and weakly.

Rong An said: "Don't be afraid, girl, I am the housekeeper in the old prime minister's house, I was ordered by the master to pick up the girl and leave the hidden platform to avoid the limelight, the girl fainted on the hidden platform yesterday, but it is not suitable to stay there for a long time, I had to carry the girl into the carriage and send it to the nearest county for treatment, the girl has been in a coma for a day." ”

Li Qingqing sat up with the bed board and looked around, the housekeeper didn't lie to her, the place where she was indeed a medical hall, and the smell of medicinal herbs was everywhere.

She hurriedly inquired again: "May I ask my lord, has the governor returned?" ”

Rong An shook his head.

Li Qingqing's heart hung again.

"Don't worry, girl, the lord said that as long as the girl doesn't show up, Your Majesty will soon release the Grand Duke."

"Really?"

"The old man's assertion has never been wrong." Rong An asked again, "How unwell is the girl now?" If not, we will set off now, Your Majesty has blocked the capital in order to find the girl, and will soon find here, when the girl is unconscious, I wanted to take the girl first, but the doctor said that the girl's body is not suitable for running, and she needs to recuperate for a day, so she has to stay here. ”

"That'...... Where are we going? ”

"Go to the master's garden, the young lady is also there."

Hearing that Mei Xiaoren was there, Li Qingqing's heart was a little calm, even if his brain was still drowsy, but in order not to affect others, he also forced himself to get out of bed and leave with the housekeeper.

When the carriage left the hospital, the county town was still calm, but it didn't take long for the forbidden army to rush into the county seat and start posting portraits along the streets.

Li Qingqing looked out of the window and saw that the portrait was painted on her.

The coachmen drove the car forward as fast as they could, but they still failed to get out of the city before the forbidden army blocked the city gates.

Rong An had no choice but to take Li Qingqing back to the county seat and find another place to take refuge.

The county seat on the outskirts of Beijing is also a prosperous place, the place is large, and there are many people, and it is not easy for the forbidden army to search.

Rong An sent the carriage away, found a civilian man's clothes, and asked Li Qingqing to change into them and disguise them a little.

The most dangerous places are often the safest, and the forbidden army will not let go of any corner where people can hide when they search people, but they will take people who walk on the streets in the open and light and do not check them very carefully.

Rong An took Li Qingqing into a tea shop and sat down, pretending to be a tea guest to wait and see what happened.

The officials of the county government also followed the street to find people, and while posting portraits, they beat the gong and shouted: "The government is looking for people, whoever sees this woman will report to the government for a reward of ten taels of silver, and those who do not report it or harbor it without permission will be killed!" ”

Li Qingqing buried his head in drinking tea, and when he heard this, even the hand holding the teacup trembled.

The forbidden army outside added again: "Your Majesty has a decree, as long as Li Guiren shows up, Your Majesty will not embarrass others, if Li Guiren insists on hiding, Your Majesty will deal with a cadre of people according to the law, including the Xuanzhou Prefect!" ”

Li Qingqing let go in a daze, and the teacup fell on the table, not knocking it over, but just splashing some tea outside.

Seeing that Li Qingqing was already frightened, Rong An hurriedly persuaded: "Girl, you must calm down, don't worry." ”

Li Qingqing's eyes were filled with tears, even though he lowered his voice, his tone was also eager: "Your Majesty wants to deal with the Metropolitan Governor and my family!" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't dare to attack the Metropolitan Governor."

"But what about my father, and my mother and brothers." Li Qingqing gradually lost his mind, muttering to himself, "What should I do......

"The girl's family will try to save it, and the top priority is to help the girl get out." Rong An looked at the officials coming and going on the street, and he was also worried, "According to the situation outside, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the city, but it's more dangerous to stay, so I'll find a place for the girl to hide first, and then rush back to report to the master, the master will definitely have a way to take the girl out of the city." ”
