Yuening sat in the corner of the cave, it was almost night at this time, and the cave was even more chilly, and the villagers did not dare to sleep, always listening to the movement under the mountain, for fear that the officers and soldiers would kill the back mountain. Yuening stood up and walked to the mouth of the cave, which just happened to see everything in the village. At this time yesterday, the villagers were still sitting together, listening to the story of the eldest brother of the Zhang family who went into battle to kill the enemy, and the women in the village were still cooking dinner at home, but now, they could only huddle in this cave, nibbling on steamed buns and drinking dew.

Yue Ning turned and looked at the trembling children, the women, and the men who were holding weapons at all times in the cave. "Plop" and knelt on the ground. Everyone looked back at Yuening, and the sister-in-law closest to Yuening immediately got up and wanted to help her, but she waved her hand, and the sister-in-law had to stand there.

Yuening had tears in her eyes, bit her lip, and said loudly: "Ning'er has thanked you here, in the past month, if it weren't for your care, Ning'er would have died here a long time ago......" After speaking, she kowtowed a few more times, "But Ning'er can't see you all because of my fear, you are here all day long, and when my brother comes back the next day, we will go to find that team of officers and soldiers, Ning'er can't bother you anymore......"

At this time, Dark Yi happened to come to the door of the cave with Brother Li's corpse, he gently put Brother Li's body on the ground, saw Yuening kneeling, and knelt down. Sister-in-law Li saw that Brother Li's corpse could no longer support it, and fainted directly.

Crying gradually appeared in the cave, and he held Yue Ning's hand, tightened it, and said with a gentle smile: "You stay, that person must know that I am the one who rescued the emperor that day, I am afraid that I will come to find the emperor, if you stay here, they will find me, and they will not come to the village again." ”

Yue Ning shook her head firmly, with tears on her face, but she still smiled: "Brother Yi, Ning'er wants to be with you." ”

Granny Guo stood up, walked in front of Yuening, pulled Yuening up, walked out of the cave, and when she saw this, she walked to Sister-in-law Li and said goodbye to Sister-in-law Li and others one by one.

Outside the cave, Granny Guo bowed to Yue Ning according to the court etiquette of the previous dynasty, and Yue Ning hurriedly wanted to help her up, but heard her say: "Princess, according to the rules of Da Yue, the courtiers should indeed perform this ceremony." ”

Yue Ning took a few steps back, leaned on the stone wall with a pale face, and returned with some difficulty: "Mother-in-law, you have relied on the courtesy of the previous dynasty, but you complain about me......"

Granny Guo shook her head, pulled Yue Ning comfortingly, and gently cut her hair, "Princess, although the old body did not approve of you staying in this village from the very beginning, if you insist on staying away from the chaos of this court, it is inconvenient for the old body to say anything. ”

Yue Ning lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, then Granny Guo continued: "You have the blood of the Dayue royal family, and you have the common people on your shoulders, how can you stay here for a long time because of your children's private feelings?" I originally wanted to use the etiquette of the previous dynasty to warn you when you were in time, but since you are determined to stay, it is useless for me to say more. ”

Yue Ning smiled sadly, "Mother-in-law...... Born in the royal family, isn't this life your own? ”

Granny Guo sighed, although she loved Yuening in her heart, she was still ruthless, "Do you know that the white jade peony hairpin is the Empress Dowager Guo's thing?" Yuening nodded, and when Granny Guo saw this, her voice became even more stern, "Back then, your father abandoned the capital and fled south, and the Empress Dowager Guo stayed in the palace alone, just to save the last face of Dayue." I don't want the historian to leave the stain of the Dayue royal family abandoning the city and fleeing south. The lady of the Li family has served the Queen Mother for several years, and she will give you this face, don't you know her deep meaning? ”

Yue Ning took a few steps back, "But mother-in-law, do I deserve to be a chess piece in my life?" ”

"You are the princess of Da Yue!"

Yue Ning burst into tears, and said angrily: "If I can, I'd rather not be born in the royal family." Mother-in-law, do you know that the lady was two months pregnant, and she knelt down and begged me that she wanted to save the child's life, but the royal brother told me to kill her...... Mother-in-law, at first I said to stay here because I didn't want my brother to go looking for the dog emperor, but after staying for a long time, I felt more and more that he was sincere to me. You are loyal to the country, the last group to leave Beijing, and now you can only stay here, you treat me like this, I only hope to be able to protect you, but I don't want to care about any national enemies and family hatred......"

Granny Guo hugged Yuening and sighed lowly, "This is your life......"

Yuening leaned on Granny Guo, she knew that she would definitely not come back again when she returned to Beijing this time, that is, she thought to herself, according to the situation in Beijing, Yan Ziqian and her imperial brother would definitely not let go of the two of them, she only hoped that if one day she really returned to the country and took revenge, she could go back to this deserted village with the dark one or two to be a husband and wife, weaving, farming, and she categorically didn't want to be other people's pawns.

Yue Ning thought of what Yan Ziqian said before leaving Beijing, so that she could get acquainted with Huizong...... If she can't return to the country as soon as possible, I'm afraid that her imperial brother will also marry her to the emperor of Yaoguo and be a spy, so what should the dark one do at that time?

She couldn't stop her chaotic thoughts, and her body couldn't help but tremble. The future is bleak, and now that she has chosen to leave, and return to the whirlpool, she can't care about that.

She bowed and returned to her usual appearance, with a smile on her face that couldn't distinguish between true and false, and said to Granny Guo: "Mother-in-law, Ning'er has returned to Beijing, and she may not come back in the future, so don't live today." ”

Gonggong An walked with Huizong for two days, and finally walked to Maocheng. Huizong thought for a long time, Chen Bozhan is Jiang Lin's nephew, and the two of them didn't dare to bet on this, he wanted to find Maocheng Taishou and contact General Li in Beijing, but when the two took advantage of the moonlight to go to Taishou Mansion, they saw from a distance that Maocheng Taishou didn't know when, and was replaced by King Ning's cronies. The two of them couldn't, so they had to find a place to live in the city.

The two walked into an alley, Huizong frowned, and asked Gonggong An, "You came out this time, did you bring money?" ”

Father-in-law An sat down, took out a jade pendant from his shoe, and said in a low voice: "Master, I was robbed by a team of officers and soldiers when I left Beijing, and now there is only this left." ”

Huizong sighed and sat down dejectedly, "Xiao Anzi, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back this time." Do you regret it? ”

Grandpa An shook his head, "Master, it is a blessing for a slave to be with you for so many years." The slave is a thing that is gone, and it is not in vain that the slave can follow the master to see so much. It's just the master, even if we die, we have to take the thief to bury together! ”

Gonggong An gritted his teeth and said, Huizong thought that he was just a eunuch, and he would definitely only be able to rely on himself in the future. He stood up and said hatefully: "Xiao Anzi, let's find a place to take this jade pendant, you are right, even if I die, I have to be decent, and I pulled my brother to be buried together!" ”

Dark One pulled Yue Ning down the mountain, and when he walked to the border city, the sky was already dark, the two didn't speak all the way, and when they immediately walked to the city gate, Yue Ning stopped, pulled Dark One, Dark One patted Yue Ning's shoulder, took Yue Ning's hand, and clenched it tighter, Yue Ning gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, stood on her toes, and kissed Dark One's lips fiercely.

Yue Ning's soft lips were attached to Dark One's mouth, which shocked Dark One's heart, that kiss with a warm breath, quite a decisive taste, Yue Ning pressed Dark One's lips, Dark One wanted to speak, but Yue Ning blocked his mouth harder, Dark One didn't think about him again, and took the initiative to deepen the kiss, as if the two had a tacit understanding, and it was a little inseparable for a while. Yue Ning hugged Dark One harder, as if she wanted to melt herself into Dark One's body. The light of the morning sun hit the two of them, and the temperature around them gradually rose, making them even more inseparable.

Finally, the two separated, Yue Ning gradually stood up straight, smiled and said, "Let's go." ”

Dark One held Yue Ning's hand tightly and said softly, "Ning'er, I will definitely live up to you in this life." ”
