After Li Dongrong and Qiao Zilin talked, they returned to the palace with Qingying. Qing Ying quietly probed: "Little master, have you agreed to negotiate with Chun?" ”

Li Dongrong nodded, but said in his mouth: "It's not confirmed yet." ”

Qing Ying knelt in front of Li Dongrong with a "plop", but her face was still calm: "Little master, the slave begs you, don't take such a risk." If it is discovered, the slave and maid dare not say how big the sentence is, but it will not be better than Gui Changzai. Little master, think twice! ”

Li Dongrong was taken aback and said, "Qingying, what are you doing here?" It's my own business to find out, and I won't bother you. ”

Qing Ying lowered her head, was silent for a while, and said, "Little master, the slave is here for you. If you don't believe it, the slave doesn't use the power to hinder you, but you can think about it yourself. ”

Li Dongrong didn't think about it, she wanted to see Song Zhen and personally told him not to enter the palace and not to set foot in this desperate place again. She knew Song Zhen, and the decision he had made would not be changed easily, but she still wanted to give it a try, and tried her best.

The next day, Qiao Zilin found Li Dongrong, and it was difficult to suppress the excitement in her heart: "Dongrong, I told my cousin that I can leave the palace tonight, but I can only go out for two hours." ”

Li Dongrong secretly calculated in his heart how long it would take to take the carriage from the palace to Song Zhen's residence, and just as he was thinking about it, Qiao Zilin asked again: "What are you going to do, where are you going, you haven't told me yet." ”

Li Dongrong thought for a while and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you, let you accompany me to a place." ”

Qiao Zilin nodded suspiciously, and Li Dongrong deliberately asked her, "Is it risky to leave the palace?" ”

Qiao Zilin patted her chest and said, "No problem, wrap it up on me." ”

That night, Li Dongrong hurriedly ate some snacks, put on civilian clothes and prepared to set off. Qing Ying didn't make a sound on the side, and when Li Dongrong was about to set off, Qing Ying said, "Little master, you ...... Take care. I have a silk scarf, give it to you, you take it, if it is blocked at the palace gate, take out this silk scarf, it may be useful. After speaking, he handed a cyan silk scarf to Li Dongrong.

Li Dongrong thought to herself, she didn't go to the battlefield, what did Qing Ying do with life and death. But it was a long time later that she discovered that this harem was indeed like a battlefield, either bloodshed and sacrificed, or forced to submit.

Qiao Zilin also changed into civilian clothes, and waited for Li Dongrong on the side of the path, and when she saw Li Dongrong coming over, she stepped forward and grabbed her, saying, "Now that it's dark, let's go from this side, it's best not to run into the eunuch who patrols the night." ”

Li Dongrong's arm was pulled by Qiao Zilin a little painfully, but she didn't have time to care about it so much, and hurriedly walked towards the palace gate with Qiao Zilin. Before they reached the palace gate, they saw a carriage coming towards them, Li Dongrong was startled and took a few steps back. Qiao Zilin said excitedly: "Don't panic, this is my cousin, he is here to see us out of the palace." ”

The carriage happened to stop in front of Li Dongrong and Qiao Zilin, and a person got down from above, and his face couldn't be seen clearly in the dark, so he only heard him say: "Two little masters, get in the car!" ”

Qiao Zilin took the lead in getting into the car, and pulled Li Dongrong into the carriage as well. After the two of them were seated, the man turned back and said, "Sit down!" After saying that, he drove the carriage towards the palace gate.

Li Dongrong and Qiao Zilin were sitting in the car, the windows covered by thick curtains. When he was about to drive to the palace gate, Li Dongrong was a little nervous, and cold sweat broke out in his palms.

"Can you really get there?" Li Dongrong asked Qiao Zilin again.

Qiao Zilin's face was facing forward, and she said, "It should be...... OK. ”

The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, and a guard stepped forward and asked the motorist, "What for?" ”

The driver laughed and said, "Go out of the palace to purchase tomorrow's ingredients, and celebrate the birthday of the second elder brother of Ming'er." ”

The guard was a little skeptical and said, "Going out so late?" ”

The driver said casually: "I drank too much yesterday, I overslept today, and when I woke up, it was this time, my eldest brother is doing well, and it is not easy for everyone." ”

The guard yawned, and seemed too lazy to search, so he said, "Go and go back quickly." ”

The driver said yes, and Li Dongrong and Qiao Zilin also breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as the carriage was about to move forward, another guard came up and said, "Let's check the carriage." In case something goes wrong. ”

Qiao Zilin and Li Dongrong became nervous at the same time, at a loss, like fish waiting to be slaughtered. The guard opened their door and froze to see them both trembling in the corner of the carriage. At this moment, Li Dongrong remembered the silk scarf that Qing Ying handed over to him, and hurriedly took out the cyan silk scarf from his sleeve and showed it to the guard. When the guard saw the scarf, he seemed to understand something, so he closed the door again, and said to the other guards, "It's nothing, let it go." ”

The driver hurriedly waved his horsewhip and quickly left the palace. This is the first time Li Dongrong has left here since entering the palace, she looked back at the palace gate getting farther and farther away from her, and felt very happy in her heart, how she wished that she could go and never return.

Just when she was excited, the motorist asked, "Where are the little masters going?" ”

Qiao Zilin also turned her head to look at her, Li Dongrong had already thought of a countermeasure, and she said without changing her face: "Desheng Street in front, the house on the corner." ”

Li Dongrong refers to her residence before she came to the capital and entered the palace, an old acquaintance of her father, called Chen Xiu, who has a good character, lives in a secluded place with his wife, children and grandchildren, and lives a dull life.

The carriage stopped outside the family's courtyard, Li Dongrong and Qiao Zilin got out of the car, and the driver said that he was waiting for them in the car. Li Dongrong stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the doorman recognized her, so he went in to report. Chen Xiu's eldest son came to open the door, and it was very strange to see Li Dongrong, but he still welcomed them into the hall.

Chen Xian was sitting in the hall drinking tea, and when he saw Li Dongrong coming, he was very shocked and said, "Dong...... Why is the mother here? ”

Li Dongrong held his hand and said, "I miss you and your family, where is Chunxi?" I want to see her! ”

Chen Xiu pointed to the back room and said, "What about writing inside......

Li Dongrong turned back to Qiao Zilin and said, "Zilin, you sit here first, and I will enter the house to see a good sister." ”

Before Qiao Zilin could react, she saw a three- or four-year-old child running towards her, pulling her to play with her, and she had to coax him up.

Li Dongrong quickly walked through the corridor to the back room, and sure enough, when she saw Chunxi sitting in the middle of the house, she slammed open the door and said, "Chunxi." ”

Chunxi is Chen Xiu's youngest daughter, about the same age as Li Dongrong, I heard that before the two were born, Chen Xiu and Li Dongrong's father decided to marry if they were a boy and a girl, and if they were the same boy or girl, they would become brothers and sisters. As a result, the names of the two have also become somewhat similar, and the two talked very happily before and knew each other well. At this time, Chunxi saw Li Dongrong, and the boss who opened his mouth in surprise said, "Dongrong? ”

Li Dongrong stepped forward and grabbed Chunxi and said, "I escaped from the palace this time, I just wanted to see Song Zhen, I'm going to go now, I'll come back to you later, don't tell others." Please! ”

Chunxi is a very shrewd woman, and when she said this, she roughly understood, nodded, and said, "Okay, you come back soon." ”
