Pear clapped her hands and walked in the direction of the city gate.

Along the way, she had prepared for the worst, that is, the imperial city was already bloody.

However, she never expected that as soon as she stepped into the imperial city, she saw a crowd of people. It was a sight like it had been when she first arrived.

At that moment, she also seemed to forget that just three or four days ago, there had been a number of unnatural deaths here.

It's so weird, weird that makes her break out in a cold sweat in all this excitement.

Xiao Li actually felt for a moment that these people were all kinds of monsters wearing human skins.

Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder, Xiaoli was startled, and turned her head to see that it was Brother Shun.

She was a little delighted to see an acquaintance. But although Brother Shun had a smile on his face, he was always looking for something behind her, Xiao Li followed his gaze and looked back, just ordinary people, so he couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Brother Shun, what are you looking at?"

The other party was even more surprised than her: "What about the prince?" Isn't he with you? ”

Xiaoli was shocked when she heard this: "How can Li Chongzhao be with me?" I haven't seen him in the past few days, what's wrong with him? ”

Brother Shun was anxious to run back: "Something happened, the prince left angrily that day, and then he never came back." Everyone has searched everywhere, and the palace has also issued a decree to see you, but we only think that the prince is with you, and there is still a sinking wood...... The little prince has that temperament, if he wants to hide from us, where can he find it...... Unexpectedly, he wasn't with you...... Where can the prince go alone......"

As he spoke, Brother Shun cried anxiously, and Xiaoli was angry and wanted to hit him on the head: "I went the opposite way with him that day, why are you so careless, don't cry, go back and find someone to find it."

Brother Shun hurriedly wiped away his tears, and Xiaoli followed him to the palace.

When I arrived at the palace, I explained the situation, and the top and bottom immediately became a pot of porridge.

Xiao Li followed the servants around, Ji Lao's paving, the places they frequented, they searched everywhere, but there was still no one.

I heard that the palace and the Meng family had sent personal guards to visit secretly, and for three days, there were still no clues.

Xiaoli cried several times, and she felt that her tears were almost dry.

Although she comforted herself that she would be fine, she knew better than anyone else that although in the three days she left, there were Taoist priests and gods in the heavenly realm who pacified the little demon who was doing evil, but in those three days, everything was unknown.

Maybe Li Chongzhao was arrested in those three days?

If he had been taken away and had been searched for three days and could not be found, there would have been no chance of survival. Those monsters like to eat human flesh raw, what if Li Chongzhao is also eaten? What if he was captured by Xiu Yan, the big devil?

Xiao Li's mind was full of pictures of those dead corpses, as if Li Chongzhao was also lying in that group of dead corpses, his face was pale.

She knew that it was useless to cry, there was chaos in the palace, and no one could take care of her, but she had nothing to do but cry, and the calm and self-control she usually thought disappeared in an instant.

Because of the murder, although it has been calmed down at this time, the palace still decided to give the key, and the city gate will be closed on time.

Xiao Li could only sit at the city gate every night, she held on to the only remaining hope that maybe Li Chongzhao would come back at night, and if he could come back, she hoped to be the first to see him.

The autumn nights grew colder, and the guards guarding the city gates slidged off, drinking wine or napping.

Maybe the people in the palace have taken care of her, and no one has ever thought of her otherwise.

Just wait night after night.

Sometimes, her consciousness began to blur. The long-term dryness from the water made her feel like her skin was cracking, robbing her of moisture from the air. It was just a trance, and in the mist that came out of her mouth, it seemed as if a tall person was walking towards her, but when she stood up and tried to take a closer look, she found nothing.

At this time, her little pear felt sour in her heart, her nose was sour, and tears fell on the cold ground so unhappily, and her vision was blurred by tears. Thinking that Li Chongzhao's disappearance was still because of her fault after all, she couldn't breathe because of the pressure of self-blame.

She choked up, looked at the empty stone road, and couldn't cry: "You must not die, I will never say anything like that again...... Li Chongzhao, I like you very much, I don't want you to die...... You can't die ......."

Crying so much that she couldn't say a whole sentence, what kind of feeling did Xiao Li feel heartache for the first time in her life. It was like her brother leaving her, like that terrible storm, which swept away everything from her in an instant, leaving only ...... Endless loneliness.

Xiao Li raised her face, and in the dark night, only the moonlight was sparse. In the haze, there seemed to be a black shadow moving in this direction.

Xiaoli rubbed her eyes, thinking that it was another hallucination, but when she wiped away her tears, the shadow did not disappear. At the end of the stone path, a man gradually came into view.

Xiao Li saw the person clearly, ran towards him with all her strength, and threw herself into his arms, tears like bursting embankments.

Feeling the warmth from the other party, she was sure that this was reality, and she was sure that there was a flesh-and-blood living person in front of her at this moment, not an illusion of nothingness.

Although Li Chongzhao was puzzled, he still stroked her hair gently, and said softly: "Why are you crying?"

Xiao Li choked up and said, "I thought you were dead and captured by a monster...... Why have you been gone for so long, we're all looking for you......"

Li Chongzhao dragged her head with one hand and wiped the tears from her face: "It's not that you made me angry that day, I rode a horse to hunt beasts in a fit of anger." When I came back to my senses, I felt that if I went back to my house like this, I was afraid that your stubborn temper would not be easy to coax, so I went to Xishan to consult a famous chef and made a real Hibiscus Youth League, and I wanted to bring it back to you. After that, he smiled slightly, "Now that the anger is gone?" ”

Xiao Li saw that Li Chongzhao was carrying a vermilion food box in his other hand. Her heart was warm, but it was even more sour: "It's my fault in the first place, but you are still so good to me."

Li Chongzhao smiled and said: "There is no way, I don't know who said that if you want her to stay, you must let the little prince cook herself."

His tone was ten out of ten, and Xiao Li broke into a smile. Li Chongzhao pulled her and looked at the closed city gate in the distance, so he had to find an open place to sit down, and then took off his cloak and put it on Xiaoli: "It seems that we can't enter the city tonight, we can only wait for the city to open early tomorrow morning, and we can only go in."

Xiao Li turned her head to look at him: "But shouldn't you princes have any personal tokens?" They'll probably let us in. ”

Li Chongzhao said casually: "Lost."

Xiao Li sighed, but saw that Li Chongzhao had already opened the food box, and inside was a plate of green balls, but carved in the shape of hibiscus flowers, and the green dumplings were sprinkled with sugar powder, exuding a sweet smell in the air.
