Chapter 281: Rigidity

Before meeting Lin Yingxue, Murong Jun, who was accustomed to seeing deceit since childhood, just wanted to place his affection on the mountains and rivers, and be an idle prince in the future, but after meeting Lin Yingxue, Murong Jun only hoped that she would be safe and old in this life.

So don't say it's a small grounding order, as long as it's for Lin Yingxue, what if he disobeys the world?

Looking at Murong Jun in front of her, who looked respectful on the outside but faintly revealed a lonely and cold aura, the queen only felt that something was beyond her control.

"Murong Jun, do you know what you're doing now? Do you know what's going on out there? You are willful and reckless at this time, let alone that you are a prince, even the prince's palace can't protect you! The queen was so angry that the rings on her head clanked, and the nails that had been cultivated with great difficulty in one hand were pinched off because she was too hard.

However, despite the queen's anger, Murong Jun was like a bend in the deep sea, and did not make any waves.

"Erchen doesn't care about the opinions of the outside world, Erchen only cares about the safety of his fiancΓ©e." Murong Jun's tone was cold, and there was a coldness between his eyebrows, "Erchen requests that Erchen continue to be in charge of this case, find out the truth, and find back the county lord Yuhui." ”

"What did you say?!" The queen seemed to have heard a big joke, and a shocked look appeared on her remaining face, "Do you know that you have caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the ministers because you deliberately shielded Lin Yingxue, this time Lin Yingxue fled rashly, and it is rumored that this is all arranged by your three princes!" ”

"In such a situation, you don't know how to avoid suspicion, and you still have to ask Ying to continue to supervise the case! According to this palace, you're afraid you're crazy! The queen flicked her sleeves and turned her head, her face became more and more ugly, "Anyone can meddle in this matter, but you Murong Jun can't!" ”

"Come on, take the three princes back to take care of them, and if the three princes have any changes, they will immediately send someone to inform the palace!" After the queen gave her voice to order, she thought about it and added: "Also, from today onwards, the crown prince is not allowed to have any contact with the three princes, if you let the palace know that someone is privately helping the prince and the three princes to contact, you will be killed!" ”

After the queen's last sentence fell, the temperature in the study seemed to drop a lot sharply, and as the queen got up to leave, the guard also stepped forward and said expressionlessly: "Third Highness, please go with your subordinates." ”

The guard's words didn't make Murong Jun move, he stood in place silently, surrounded by a layer of coldness.

Seeing this, Murong Xing, who had never intervened in the imperial study, couldn't help but walk up to Murong Jun, took Murong Jun's hand and comforted softly: "Ah Jun, you go back first, with me and Feng'er here, I will definitely help you find Yingxue and find out the truth of the case." ”

Saying that, Murong Xing raised his head again to help Murong Jun straighten the collar of his clothes, "Also, there have been too many things that have happened recently, and now the queen mother is angry, don't worry about the queen mother, everything is still with us." ”

Murong Xing's overly intimate actions made Murong Jun a little uncomfortable. He withdrew his hand from Murong Xing's hand, took another half step back, and reluctantly softened his tone and said, "Thank you eldest sister for mentioning it, Ah Jun knows." ”

After saying that, Murong Jun turned around and walked towards the outside of the imperial study without looking back, Murong Xing looked at the back of Murong Jun walking away quickly, his eyes were dim.

……

Besides, Lin Yingxue, who was tired of running outside at this time, naturally couldn't know about these things that happened in the palace.

Zhou Qingshu burned badly, Lin Yingxue searched for a long time near the cave before finding some barely usable herbs, crushed them and gave them to Zhou Qingshu, and then took care of Zhou Qingshu for a long time, and Zhou Qingshu woke up slowly.

"Fifth Miss......" As soon as Zhou Qingshu opened his eyes, he saw Lin Yingxue sitting beside him, his little face was bloodless, and even his lips were dry and cracked...... It is conceivable that although Lin Yingxue did not fall ill like him, she was also extremely uncomfortable.

Pity him for a big man, not only does he have a woman to protect him when he is in danger, but he also falls ill with 'delicate and frail'......

"Fifth Miss, it's useless for me, saving you out has caused you to suffer more......" Zhou Qingshu was almost so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head.

Lin Yingxue only smiled faintly when she heard this, "Everyone has their own strengths, Zhou Gongzi is a literati, and it is natural that he is not good at fighting and running for his life." ”

Lin Yingxue's tone was too indifferent, as if she didn't care about the things that happened in the past two days, and of course, she didn't care if he was good enough.

Zhou Qingshu suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness and despair from the bottom of his heart. In the past, he thought that Lin Yingxue didn't like him just because he appeared late, but after experiencing these things, he realized that the people in front of him didn't like him because they were two completely different people from beginning to end.

He is cowardly, cowardly, and has no opinions, only a scholar can not be high, but Lin Yingxue is different, she is completely different from ordinary boudoir women, she is calm, courageous, and assertive...... If the person in front of you is a man, there will be no limit to what you can achieve in the future.

Such an excellent woman is naturally not worthy of a mediocre person like him.

"Fifth Miss, I apologize to you for my recklessness, if it weren't for my lack of self-knowledge, Fifth Miss, you wouldn't have fallen into such a situation......" Zhou Qingshu opened his mouth, wanting to tell the truth about Lin Yingmeng's death to the people in front of him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he didn't even have the courage to confess.

Lin Yingxue didn't know Zhou Qingshu's inner entanglement, but seeing Zhou Qingshu's look of shame and hatred, her heart softened, "Forget it, I didn't approve of Zhou Gongzi's approach from the beginning, but now that the matter has happened, don't mention it again, let's think about how to redeem it." ”

Lin Yingxue flicked the fire in front of her - it was cold in late autumn, especially in the lower temperature in the cave, this fire could never be extinguished.

"Ahem...... Zhou Qingshu covered his mouth and coughed twice, and then said a little weakly: "Now the imperial court should have posted the wanted notice, and this way is the pursuit of officers and soldiers, and it is a robber and a bandit...... We ......"

What can they do, where can they hide? Zhou Qingshu lowered his head and secretly scolded himself for being useless.

Lin Yingxue didn't expect Zhou Qingshu to have any good ideas, she frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "It's impossible to go back now, we have to run for our lives anyway, so let's go to Xuzhou." ”

"Xuzhou?" Zhou Qingshu raised his head in some surprise, "Xuzhou is a long way to go, at our current speed, I'm afraid it will take at least a month to arrive, and I don't know how many things will be encountered on the road this month...... In my opinion, Fifth Miss might as well find a way to contact the Third Highness, presumably the Third Highness will definitely keep the Fifth Miss safe. ”

Push out the woman you love with your own hands...... Zhou Qingshu's heart was dripping blood when he said this, but he had no other better way.

However, Lin Yingxue was unmoved when she heard this, "I have my own considerations, if Zhou Gongzi is willing to be with me, then he will be with me, if he is unwilling, Zhou Gongzi will act on his own after he recovers from his injury." ”

Lin Yingxue lowered her eyes and quietly looked at the flames jumping in front of her.

In fact, she didn't want to contact Murong Jun, but Murong Jun was also in trouble right now, and she didn't want to be a drag on Murong Jun.

After listening to Lin Yingxue's words, Zhou Qingshu was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly said, "I am willing, of course I am willing to leave with Miss Five...... cough cough cough ......"

Because he was too excited, Zhou Qingshu began to cough violently again.

Lin Yingxue frowned and turned her head to look at Zhou Qingshu, her expression was faintly worried, "Master Zhou, your physical condition is not optimistic, although I am a doctor, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is difficult to find even a herb in this wilderness." ”

"I remember that you can enter the city by walking a few miles further, so it's better for Zhou Gongzi to persevere, and I'll take Zhou Gongzi into the city to see the doctor."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Okay, let's go. Zhou Qingshu didn't want to be Lin Yingxue's burden anymore, so as soon as Lin Yingxue's voice fell, he endured the discomfort and got up.

Seeing this, Lin Yingxue hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhou Qingshu after carefully extinguishing the fire.

Fortunately, the luck of the two was not bad, and after coming out of the cave, they actually met a middle-aged couple who were driving an ox cart and were about to go to the city to sell firewood.

Lin Yingxue thought that the news in the township should not spread so quickly, and when she came out just now, she specially wiped two handfuls of loess on her face, the couple should not recognize that they are now the most wanted criminals in the country, so she dragged Zhou Qingshu forward for help.

The middle-aged couple was also warm-hearted, and they didn't notice anything wrong, so they agreed and helped Zhou Qingshu to lie down on the cart.

In the next month, Lin Yingxue and Zhou Qingshu hurried away, and finally arrived in Xuzhou without danger.

Counting the days, Lin Zhengjie should have been executed in these two days, it is false to say that he is completely indifferent, but that is what Lin Zhengjie deserves, she has no way to stop it, let alone change it.

"Five...... Brother Lin, where are we going next? In order to avoid the officers and soldiers, Lin Yingxue dressed up as a man in disguise along the way, and it was very difficult for Zhou Qingshu to change his words, and occasionally he would call the wrong one.

"Let's just walk around the streets." Lin Yingxue's words surprised Zhou Qingshu.

He originally thought that Lin Yingxue came all the way to Xuzhou because he had acquaintances in Xuzhou, but now it seems that it is not what he imagined at all.

After leaving the inn where she stayed, Lin Yingxue really wandered leisurely on the street, with that comfortable appearance, if you don't know, you can't imagine that the person who is swaggering on the street in front of her is actually a wanted criminal in the whole city.

"Brother Lin, what do you want to buy, why don't we buy it quickly and go back." Zhou Qingshu looked around with some uneasiness, he always felt that everyone on the street was looking at him with suspicion.

Looking at Zhou Qingshu's panicked appearance, Lin Yingxue couldn't help frowning lightly, "Brother Zhou, don't be nervous, just treat yourself as an ordinary person." ”

Lin Yingxue said as she stopped in front of a stall selling jewelry.

"Is the guest officer going to buy a hairpin for his wife? Pick and choose if you have a favorite. The stall owner was a dark-skinned middle-aged woman, and she was very warm when she saw Lin Yingxue.

Lin Yingxue casually picked a hairpin and bought it before pretending to be casual and asked, "Auntie, do you know how to go to Zheyuan Lane?" ”
