Three days later, they were already walking on the official road to Qingzhou, along the way, Dong Ru spent time in panic, holding the child with a very anxious look, and with a bit of a trance, she really went home, although it was about to be the New Year, she might not be able to catch up with her family when she went home, but she was still very excited, she finally came out of that gorgeous cage.
The scenery on the road was very monotonous, the eyes were full of snow white, and because of the Chinese New Year, there were not many people on the road, only their carriage hurriedly moving forward.
Wei Qilang was driving the car outside, and he glanced inside from time to time, he was afraid that Ah Ru would be tired of holding the child alone, so he didn't feel at ease, and kept an eye on her.
After they came out of Meixi Garden three days ago, Wei Qilang took her to pack up the salute, Dong Ru followed behind, and she was in a trance all the time, because she really didn't expect Wei Qilang to be resolute, and the front foot also said to take her home, and the back foot began to pack up the luggage, and she really couldn't react.
After they packed up their things, Wei Qilang had already set up the carriage quickly, and she just followed the carriage in a trance, and walked away, until now, her mind was still confused, and she couldn't get over it at all.
And Wei Qilang also drove the carriage to speed up, in his words: leave a few days early, you can rush home early to celebrate the New Year with your parents.
However, all the way down, Dong Ru looked at the expression on his face, how he felt that there was a problem, he was able to leave Beijing so quickly, as if he was avoiding something.
But when she asked, he didn't say anything, but only comforted her softly.
Dong Ru in the carriage couldn't hold back any longer, coaxed the child and put it in the small quilt for him to play with, but she opened the curtain and sat down with him, turned her head to look at him, frowned slightly, and asked, "What are you doing, walking so fast?" Anyway, it's almost the New Year, and even if you rush back at this time, you won't be able to spend the New Year with your family, in this case, why are you in such a hurry, is there something to hide from me? ”
Wei Qilang, who was driving, heard this, but turned his head to look at her, and saw that her neckline was slightly open, and the cold wind blew in along the collar, and his brows immediately furrowed, his eyes melted with pity, but his tone was a low voice and scolded: "Go in, the wind is so strong, I have to take care of you on the way to be sick, obedient." ”
He didn't want to answer her question at all, Dong Ru immediately pouted, but he still obediently pressed the neckline tightly and turned around and went in again.
Wei Qilang was hurrying up, originally he didn't want to take her home in such a deep winter, anyway, he had already handed over all the rights of his body to others, he could take Aru to live in the capital for two days, and it was not too late to take her home when the weather was better.
However, the emperor didn't wait for anyone, the pressure on him from that holy decree was too great, and he didn't want to tell Ah Ru how he resigned and how much he paid.
At the beginning, the emperor agreed to his resignation, that is, let him leave Beijing immediately at the same time as he resigned, he knew in his heart that the emperor was afraid of him, the longer he stayed in the capital, the more suspicious he became, and for a long time, the emperor would definitely deal with him, and at that time, he had no backing to rely on, for fear of implicating Aru, so he was a clear transfer of power, and he turned around and left Beijing with Aru.
Before leaving, he had put everything down, and now in the capital, there was no place for him to be attached to, so he stopped looking at it now, and silently drove the carriage away on the official road.
In the snow, only two clear wheel prints remained, which gradually disappeared as the cold wind blew away.
******
Soon after they left the capital, starting from the inside of the imperial city, the holy decree was to announce to the world, and followed the emperor's fourteen-year-long Zhongshu order to do their best for the Chu State, and now they have become ill from hard work, that is, they died young, and the emperor was grief-stricken, so he issued an order and buried him.
And the lord of Yongping, who had a marriage contract with him, died untimely because the Zhongshu ordered the lord to sacrifice his life for the country, so the emperor ordered to appease her and protect her name, so he issued a decree to revoke their marriage contract and announce it to the world at the same time.
The door of the county lord's bedroom was wide open, the cold wind blew in, the air was bitterly cold, and the tea on the table was also frozen to ice, obviously there was no one in this room for a long time.
On the couch in the back room, there was an old man lying with her eyes closed, it was Jiang Xueyao's nurse, there was a dark red mark on her neck, obviously after being knocked unconscious, she was put on the couch, covered her with a quilt, and the person went out.
After a long time, the nurse's eyelids moved, and then she sat up suddenly, and before she could open her eyes, the first thing she said was: "Yao'er!" The voice was panicked and anxious, and even her face was pale and bloodless.
When she opened her eyes completely, she looked around, and saw that the cold wind was raging in the house, and the county lord had already been gone for a long time, and tears were streaming on her old face, and one hand was also beating her chest violently, and she lifted the quilt, and she didn't even have time to put on her shoes, so she ran out of the house, stepped on the snow and ran all the way out of the county lord's mansion, ignoring the crowd on the road, she cried and stumbled towards Xia Xingzhi's temporary mansion.
When she ran to Xia Xingzhi's mansion, she happened to meet people clearing the snow, thinking about the county lord in her heart, so she didn't look at people, and grabbed a person in a panic and shouted: "Is Xiahou Ye here, is Xiahou Ye here?" I am from the Yongping County Lord's Mansion, and I want to see Xiahou Ye! ”
As she spoke, the old man's hands clutched the sleeves of the man's shirt tightly, his eyes burst out, the ravines were full of tears on the old man's face, and the full head of gorgeous hair was also blown apart by the cold wind in the process of running all the way.
And she shouted vigorously in her mouth: I want to see Xiahou Ye, my county lord has run away, I want to see Xiahou Ye, please Hou Ye be the master.
Those people frowned when they heard this, looked at each other, and one of them stood up, slapped her hand away, and scolded impatiently: "Why do you want to see Hou Ye Xia, now our Hou Ye has been promoted, and he has become the Zhongshu Order of the Seven Provinces, and the name of the adult is also you can shout at will, the adult is not in the house, and he has entered the palace, where did the crazy woman come from, go for a walk, hurry up." ”
Those subordinates were temporarily assigned to serve Xia Xingzhi, and it was too late to stammer one by one, and when they saw such a crazy woman coming to make trouble, they all stepped forward and threw her one by one, and threw her far away, and at the end, they also scolded with a smile: "I still want to see the adults by name, I really feel that I am not afraid of death because I am enough to face." ”
With that, he stopped caring about her and started to do his own work again. But the nurse was sad in her heart, she was thrown in the snow and was covered in snowflakes, looked up at the sky, and turned her head to look around, only to see the high-walled compound here, but she couldn't find a kind person who could help her inform Xiahou Ye and send someone to find the county lord.
When she got up this morning and went to the county lord to take medicine, she saw that her door was wide open, but the county lord was wearing a white coat, carrying a burden on her back and was about to go out, she was shocked, her body moved first, she wanted to block the door, she didn't want to go out, and at the same time wanted to say something to admonish her, but she didn't want to, her body hadn't moved, the county lord slammed her hand, slapped her on the back of the neck, and she was unconscious.
The last thing she heard before she fainted was her choked and reluctant voice: "Nurse, take care." ”
Even this voice slowly drifted away in her gradual dizziness.

The snowflakes on the mountain are a hundred times thicker than those under the mountain, and when you walk up, you will sink deep into them and sink into your ankles.
Jiang Xueyao carried a small burden and stepped on the snow to walk up step by step, she was wearing a snow-white shirt, the pure white color should be integrated with the surrounding frost-white scenery, the only thing that could distinguish her was her black and smooth waist-length hair.
The hair was spread down to her back and danced with the cold wind, her face was pale, her eyes were full of death, she raised her head and glanced at the Taoist temple on the highest peak, her expression did not fluctuate, and she continued to walk up with her head down.
The steps connecting the Taoist temple meander and twist, but it is a pass to the top, and after the last step is completed, she came to the door of the Taoist temple and looked up at the name of the Taoist temple, Qingzheng Temple.
Qingben is upright, and it is really a good name suitable for Qing Xiu.
After one look, she pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as he entered, he isolated the red dust behind him from the door......
It's so hard to love someone.
I like it, I hope it, he loves me as much as I do, but in exchange for hurt, even so, it has been burned into my heart and can't be forgotten, so let it all be......

Dong Ru They came back before the Lantern Festival, although they did not catch up with the Chinese New Year's Eve, but fortunately, they hurried and hurried, but they came back safely and steadily.
As soon as she returned to her nest, she was completely settled, looking at her small home, she exhaled a long breath, a pair of big eyes flashed with clear brilliance, and her little mouth also giggled, and she felt as if she was loose with her heart from her body and mind.
Finally no longer frightened, finally no longer suffering from gains and losses, and she no longer has to face the eyes and incomprehensible words of those strangers every day.
Looking at the simple furnishings in the room, as well as the faint dust falling on it, everything made her so familiar and warm, she couldn't help but turn around, and looked at the man behind her with a pair of big eyes like autumn water, although there were many things she didn't know, let alone how they left Beijing safely like this, but at this moment, this situation, she felt completely unnecessary.
He walked forward slowly, hugged the child in his arms, looked at him with a deep smile, and called him in a delicate voice, greasy and shy: "Qilang......"
Wei Qilang stood there, his eyes smiling, his eyebrows frowning with a little pity and love, he only stepped forward and hugged her and the child tightly, lowered his head and dropped a kiss on top of her head, but he also showed his white teeth, smiled, and didn't say anything.
The two looked at each other, the child in their arms was also giggling, the family was harmonious and beautiful, everything was silent.
The joy of the farmer, the joy and sorrow of the countryside, wish them: my wife and I love, hold hands and do not cheat in this life; My wife and I love, and the fate of Sansheng Stone is here; My wife and I love, romantic and sweet, never slack; My wife and I love, and the days together are the most exciting......
