Chapter 261: Attempt
That's a hard question to answer.
Gao Fu thought about it again and again before he spoke: "Your Majesty, it's not easy to say about the slaves. No matter what, as long as the emperor won't regret it in the future. ”
He obviously has the intention of letting Miaoli leave, as long as he doesn't regret everything, it doesn't matter.
Zhou Shuxuan was still struggling, he didn't know if he would regret it, and he didn't know how he would regret it.
Let her go, he may regret it, and he will go crazy to look for her. But if he left her, he might still regret it, and it was also a torture to watch her unhappy every day.
And he didn't dare to ask for forgiveness anymore, and he didn't dare to go over to see her, seeing her would only make her too sad.
Miaoli had already arrived in the city at this time and got into the carriage out of the city. Her heart jumped uncontrollably, as if everything was too easy and made her feel a little unreal.
Along the way, Miao Li clutched her sleeves tightly, and she was in a state of high tension. Lu Guangbai glanced at her, softened his tone and said, "Don't be so nervous, everything is arranged." ”
Miao Li smiled at him reluctantly, unable to even say a word. It was impossible for her not to be nervous, she had left more than once, but finally she had come back again and again, as if by spell. She wasn't sure the spell would follow her anymore, and to be honest, she didn't dare to think she could get out.
Outside the carriage there was a sudden clattering of horses' hooves, which was particularly loud in the silence of the city.
Miao Li trembled when she heard this voice, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead, afraid that someone would catch up.
Lu Guangbai gave her a reassuring look, lifted the curtain and looked out, and only retreated after seeing that it was an acquaintance.
"It's okay, it's the eldest son, he should have sent us out."
Miaoli breathed a sigh of relief, put her mind at ease, and soon began to worry again. If you don't use it to send them, if you are caught, there will definitely be no way to get rid of it.
Miao Li asked a little anxiously, "Can you let him go back?" ”
Lu Guangbai glanced out again and said, "After crossing this street, it is the gate of the city, and it is too late to go back now." If someone really chases them, they will definitely encounter them. I can only let him follow, and he will feel more at ease when he sends us out, and Master is already waiting for us outside the city gate. ”
That's all there is to it.
Miao Li felt that this short distance was a very long walk, as if the street had not been finished after several hours.
After walking for a while, the carriage finally stopped, and the sound of the soldiers at the gate of the city was heard. Miao Li sat in the car and didn't dare to go out to look, so she could only listen with her ears pricked up.
"I've already told you General Jing, please open the city gate." The boss's steady voice rang out.
"Lord Jing has indeed already said hello to us, but there is still a need for inspection. I wonder who is sitting in this carriage, my lord? ”
"It's the women who are sitting, and there are some women's things going out of the city. Want to take a look? ”
"Forget it, it's not very convenient. Just ......"
The boss instantly understood, took the silver and handed it over, "A few people have worked harder, buy some wine to drink to warm up." ”
What you want is nothing more than money, and it's easy to get things done when you take the money. "Your Excellency, you're sorry. Open the door! ”
Miao Li heard the sound of the door opening, and her clenched fist was released, and she really went out after this level.
Outside the carriage, the voice of the old road came, "Cherish all the way." ”
Miao Li whispered thank you, how could she be lucky enough to be helped by so many people.
I thought I had escaped the place, but the carriage had not gone a few steps before it stopped, and there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind it. This time it wasn't a single person, it was a large group of people. They all held torches, and the gates of the city were brightly lit.
In such a battle, Miao Li almost knew in her heart who was coming, and leaned against the wall of the carriage like resignation.
Sure enough, there was a voice from outside.
"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."
The haunting person, I don't know how he needs to be satisfied, does he think that she is not miserable enough now? Why can't you let her go?
"It's so late, what is Master Qu doing here?" Zhou Shuxuan sat on the horse and asked.
The boss knelt on the ground and replied, "The minister is here to send people out of the city." ”
"What's so in such a hurry that you have to go out at night and can't wait until daytime?"
"The minister's wife and sister are in a bit of a hurry and have to go."
Zhou Shuxuan jumped off the horse, still asking unhurriedly: "Do you know what the crime of bullying the king is?" I want to hear the truth. ”
Miaoli couldn't sit in the carriage properly, and she couldn't let others bear this for her with peace of mind. I wanted to go out, but Lu Guangbai pulled my clothes. Signal her not to go out yet, and wait and see what happens. Miao Li paused for a moment, waiting for an answer.
"What the minister said is the truth."
"Your wife has an elder brother and three younger brothers. There is only one cousin, and now she is not in the capital. What kind of wife and sister do you send out? ”
The boss felt a chill in his back, his family affairs Zhou Shuxuan actually knew so clearly, and other estimates also knew. For a while, I didn't know how to answer correctly, and I froze here.
It seemed that the past could not be hidden, and he should have known that she was in the car.
This is probably fate, a fate that cannot be changed.
Miao Li got out of the carriage, stood under the firelight, faced Zhou Shuxuan, and said, "He sent me." ”
Zhou Shuxuan was not much surprised, knowing that it was her inside.
Last time, he didn't stop her at the city gate, but fortunately he stopped her this time, and he didn't have to find someone to find her so hard.
He didn't know the other results, but he would definitely regret letting her go now. It is impossible to imagine that she has disappeared from her own world since then, nor can it be imagined that she will be intimate with others in the future.
The things that happened before were not under his control, but they still happened, and he admitted his mistake. He can use the rest of his life to make up for everything he has done, and he has a chance to make up for it if she stays by his side.
Zhou Shuxuan took a deep breath, looked at the person and asked, "Where do you want to go?" ”
Miao Li clenched her fists and said, "Go to a place that won't make me uncomfortable." ”
Zhou Shuxuan knew that this was the answer, and he could accept it in his heart, and there was no change on his face. He beckoned to her and said, "Come here." ”
Miao Li froze in place, she really didn't want to go over. The feet are like wearing iron shoes weighing a thousand pounds, and they can't take a single step.
Zhou Shuxuan didn't speak, so he looked down at the boss who was kneeling on the ground. Knowing where her weakness is, you don't need much nonsense at all.
Miao Li clenched her fists tightly, held back her trembling breath, and said, "I'll go back with you, and you let them go." ”
Zhou Shuxuan almost didn't hesitate, and agreed in one bite, "No problem." ”
Miao Li pointed to the carriage again and said, "And my master and them." ”
Zhou Shuxuan's answer was still very neat, "Yes." ”
It doesn't matter if the rest matters, as long as she stays, as long as she goes back.
Miao Li took a step back, arrived in front of the carriage, and said to Lu Guangbai: "I remember the many days of care, but I can't repay it in this life." After this farewell, never see each other again. ”
Lu Guangbai couldn't listen to it, and wanted to come out but heard Miaoli say, "Don't come out, let's go, I'm begging you." ”
She didn't do anything other than bring them trouble, and again and again she put them between life and death, and she felt guilty but guilt in her heart.
Hearing her forbearance crying, Lu Guangbai sat back again. Knowing that she is for their good, they can't live up to her kindness.
Lu Guangbai lowered his head and said to the coachman outside, "Let's go." ”
The coachman jumped on the cart, whipped the horse, and went away like the wind. Escaping this place, you can be considered alive.
Seeing that the city gate was closed again, Miao Li turned back and picked up the boss. gritted his teeth and spoke, "Gongzi Qu, we are not a family in the first place, and the so-called godparents will end here." Thank you for me, Grandpa Guo, thank you old lady, treat me as a close relative for so many days, thank you. ”
"Sister...... "What else does the boss want to say."
"Qu Gongzi." Miao Li interrupted him and bowed to him again.
The boss couldn't say anything, and knew that she was protecting their family. "The minister will definitely send the mother's words."
The family still did not have a daughter's life.
Miao Li walked back to Zhou Shuxuan's side, looked in the direction of the boss and said, "The emperor also heard it, they have nothing to do with the concubines." Even if the emperor wants to punish the nine clans of his ministers and concubines, he can't contact them. ”
Zhou Shuxuan nodded slightly.
The carriages and horses in the palace also arrived, and Miao Li walked up without looking back. If you can't hide, it's better to accept it calmly. Zhou Shuxuan followed behind her, not daring to say anything.
The carriage walked up again, and Miao Li leaned against the wall of the carriage without looking at Zhou Shuxuan, treating him as if he was nothing.
Zhou Shuxuan was also silent for a while, not knowing how to speak, and only after a long time did he speak with difficulty, "I just wanted you to go back, and I didn't think about what to do to them." ”
She was so resolute that she cut off all her relationships, afraid that he would hurt them, but he didn't think about what to really do to them.
Miao Li didn't seem to hear anything, and there was no reaction.
Zhou Shuxuan took a deep breath and said, "I know what I did wrong at that time, and I can make up for it." ”
It was as if two gusts of wind were blowing in her ears, and Miao Li didn't hear anything.
Zhou Shuxuan didn't give up, and then explained, "You didn't even take a look when I was going to die, I thought you really broke off with me." I was so uncertain, I listened to other people's words, and I was confused for a while and misunderstood what you did behind my back. ”
Miao Li finally spoke, "The night you came back, you had a high fever, and I wiped your body with warm water until dawn, but I didn't want my child to be without a father before he was born." Now you're alive, but my children aren't. I sometimes wonder if my child has saved your life. ”
Miao Li turned to him and gritted her teeth and said, "I'm also wondering why it wasn't you who died!" ”
