Two days later, Li Qiao arrived at the mouth of the Lingjiang River, led hundreds of iron horsemen, and surrounded Ruan Huai's residence.

Li Qiao didn't dare to trespass into the courtyard without permission, so he had to try to knock on the door, but when he saw that there was no response to the knock, he asked several iron riders to go to the wall to check again, and made sure that there was no one in the courtyard, so the team was divided into two sides and lined up neatly, guarding the courtyard and waiting for others.

So when it was near dusk, Ruan Huai came back from the trading house, and when she was about to get to her residence, Ruan Huai saw the army surrounding her residence, and she could see at a glance that it was the northern army that she was familiar with.

Ruan Huai stood not far away and paused for a moment, and walked over without thinking much.

Ruan Huai didn't mean to deal with this person, so he walked to the door and took out the key to open the door.

Li Qiao, who followed him, finally couldn't help but speak, "Miss Ruan Huai, Your Majesty invites you to go back to the palace." ”

While Ruan Huai opened the door, he responded lightly: "Don't go back." ”

Seeing that Ruan Huai was about to close the door, Li Qiao hurriedly stopped the edge of the door, and said to Ruan Huai helplessly: "Your Majesty said that you must bring Miss Ruan Huai back to the palace." ”

Ruan Huai finally raised her eyes and looked around at the northern army gathered outside the courtyard, she seemed to have a sense of déjà vu, turned her head back, stared at Li Qiao and said in a deep voice: "Are you going to arrest me again?" ”

Li Qiao looked at her in embarrassment.

It's naturally good to be able to arrest him, but the person he arrested is the only person His Majesty cares about now, if he is injured in the process of arrest, when he returns to Beijing, he will not blame their subordinates......

Therefore, if you can ask Li Qiao to go back, he will resolutely not dare to use force......

Li Qiao thought that Ruan Huai would cooperate this time like the last time he returned to Beijing, but after Ruan Huai finished speaking, he slammed the door shut, and Li Qiao withdrew his hand in time to survive.

Immediately after, Li Qiao heard Ruan Huaiqing's cold voice coming from inside the door, "I won't be arrested this time, unless I die at the hands of his Northern Army." ”

As soon as Li Qiao heard that Ruan Huai was planning to resist to the death, he couldn't stop talking: "Miss Ruan Huai, don't get me wrong, Your Majesty doesn't mean that, Miss Ruan Huai, you have a good rest, let's go." ”

After all, Li Qiao was afraid that Ruan Huai would really have a bad luck in a fit of anger, so he hurriedly ordered the northern army to retreat.

Li Qiao returned to the ship and immediately called Songquan on the ship.

"What did you say the last time you came to pick up Miss Ruan Huai back to Beijing?" Li Qiao humbly asked Songquan for questions.

Song Quan thought for a moment and replied: "At that time, after I found Miss Ruan Huai, I directly detained Miss Ruan Huai and returned to Beijing. ”

“…… Didn't Miss Ruan Huai resist with death? ”

"Nope."

Li Qiao felt that Songquan's answer was not of reference value, but he really didn't dare to act rashly anymore, so he had to personally write a letter asking for help and return to Beijing.

The next day, Li Qiao received a handwritten edict from His Majesty.

After reading His Majesty's edict, Li Qiao fell into deep self-doubt.

So much so that after a long period of relief, Li Qiao had to re-lead the northern army to set off and once again encircled Ruan Huai's residence.

Fortunately, when they went over this time, Ruan Huai happened to be in the courtyard.

After Li Qiao patiently knocked on the door a few times, the courtyard door was finally opened.

Ruan Huai stood inside the door and asked calmly, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Qiao stood firm, cleared his throat, and said with a straight face: "Miss Ruan Huai, your subordinates have personally confirmed it, and Your Majesty said that you must go back to the palace with your subordinates." ”

Ruan Huai's expression was still cold: "What if you don't go back to the palace?" ”

Li Qiao took out the edict and spread it out in front of Ruan Huai, and at the same time continued: "Your Majesty said that if Miss Ruan Huai does not obey her will, Your Majesty will punish Miss Ruan Huai's adoptive mother severely. ”
