That night, we sneaked out over the wall.
Jin Lanxuan is just under the roots of the imperial city, where every inch of land is valuable. This place is brightly lit even at night, full of tourists, and very lively. Before I could reach its door, I heard a loud shout.
"Here, here, the winning general against the Xizhou Overlord! Bet more, earn more, buy and leave! A good-looking young man with a turban stood in the middle of the crowd and shouted.
I easily squeezed in, and saw one of the crickets, all jet black, with mung bean-sized eyes glowing red, and the two whiskers were facing the sky, which was very majestic.
"I'll bet on this!"
I wanted to take the money out of my bag, but I remembered that I was in a hurry and didn't bring anything. After groping in his arms for a long time, he only found a turquoise sunflower jade.
Xiao Chong gave.
When you look at it, you get angry.
I was so proud that I slapped the jade in the middle of a group of broken silver, and directly stunned everyone. I guess they thought I was a gambler.
"This little lady, a small gamble is pleasant, and a big gamble hurts her body." A young man in a turban kindly reminded.
"Don't worry, I won't cry if I lose."
In less than a stick of incense, the turban man squatted in front of me with a look of "I already knew" and persuaded me to stop crying.
"I'm done, Xiao Chong knows that he will kill me." The more I cried, the more energetic I became, and the tears flowed down like beads with broken threads.
"Okay, okay, can't I give you back this jade?" The man in the turban spread the jade in his palm and handed it to me.
"That's not good, that's what I lost to you. I lost a hundred taels of you, I will go home and get the money to ransom, you must wait for me here. "I was about to get up when my neck was lifted, and a cold voice sounded above my head.
"Madame is really interested, and in the middle of the night, she still has the leisure to come out to fight crickets, and it is easy to find her husband."
When I turned around, I saw a blue and black face with light sweat.
It was Xiao Chong's face.
He was followed by dozens of soldiers in armor, so it wasn't that even his brothers in the army had asked him to call out to find someone.
"This official, if you have something to say, it's not good to be so vicious." The turban man was shocked when he saw me, probably because he was afraid that Xiao Chong would cut me off with a knife from his head, so he had the courage to play a round.
"It's none of your business." Xiao Chong took out a gold ingot from his arms and threw it to the turban man. Then he snatched the jade pendant roughly, and then roughly stuffed it into my arms.
"Next time you dare to lose it, I'll take your head off." Xiao Chong's tone was not good, and he threatened me.
I shrank my head and didn't dare to talk back, so I let him carry it and take it home. The turban man behind him suddenly caught up and shouted at me, "Girl, your hairpin!" β
He held his hand high, as if trying to make it clear what he was holding. When I touched my head, it was empty.
When Xiao Chong saw the hairpin in his hand, he probably thought that his head was green, so his face became even greener. An arrow stepped forward and grabbed the man by the collar.
Although the turban man is good-looking, his figure is still a lot worse than Xiao Chong's, and he was casually picked up.
"What are you doing! If you let it go, if you do this again, I'll call the police, I said, report, report to the official! β
Alarm?
My originally shrunken eyes immediately shot out of joy, as if I had met a fellow countryman in a foreign country where I was unfamiliar with my life.
I couldn't wait to rush forward, pushed Xiao Chong away, grabbed the turban man by the collar, and forced him to look directly at me.
βHowareyou?β I dragged him, my hands and feet shaking.
The turban man was about to scold, but at this moment, his eyes were full of tears, and he looked at me affectionately and replied, "I'mfine, thank you. Andyou?β
"What year are you from?"
β2022οΌβ
"Old Tie! I've finally found my family! β
I let go of my grip on the collar and hugged the man in front of me excitedly. I feel like I've never had a more exciting moment in my life than I have now. The same is true of the turban man, who lifted me up from the ground with the princess in his arms, but he spun in circles.
What is called holding hands and looking at tears, what is called seeing fellow villagers, and tears are in their eyes, which is a true portrayal of the best at this moment.
I wanted to ask him a lot of questions, but I felt as if my body was moving uncontrollably, and the hijab man was getting farther and farther away from me.
Xiao Chong finally exhausted the last of his patience and dragged me away, I shouted at the turban man at the top of my throat, "Fang Yingqiu, my name is Fang Yingqiu." β
"Rieger! I will always stay at Jin Lan Xuan! β
Li Ge's voice grew farther and farther away, and I was placed on Xiao Chong's broad shoulder. Behind him, rows of crimson lanterns are receding, giving people an unreal sense of passing.
I wiped tears from my face with my hands and grinned, it was good.
"That's great!"
Because of what happened that night, Xiao Chong was not light.
When he could not beat me, he had the branches tied up and whipped fifteen of them, and they sent more men to watch over us, and we were not allowed to go out.
Ever since Dai Congyun entered the door, he has never run into my yard. But these days, Xiao Chong has been unusual, always making excuses to come to see me, intentionally or unintentionally.
I haven't been able to give him a good face because of his beating.
"This golden sore medicine is given by the Holy Lord, and the effect is excellent, you can give it to Lianzhi to try." Xiao Chong came again today, sitting at the table drinking tea as if nothing had happened.
Lian Zhi's injury was too serious, lying on the bed to recuperate, and he was flattered by the medicine given by his master, so he had to get up from the bed and thank him.
I pushed her back and motioned for her not to move.
Lian Zhi looked embarrassed, looked at Xiao Chong and then looked at me. It wasn't until Xiao Chong waved her hand that she stopped struggling and fell back on her stomach.
"You beat people, why are you pretending to be here?"
"You made the mistake, and Lianzhi only suffered on behalf of the master."
"What's wrong with me? What did I do wrong? β
Xiao Chong saw that I looked like I was unrepentant, and he was so angry that he even raised his voice a little.
"Hugging and hugging a foreign man in public, do you still think you're not wrong?"
Evil feudal society! A patriarchal society of all evils!
"I'm just a little excited to see an acquaintance! Besides, you men can mess around in the restaurant all day long, and the concubines marry at home one by one, why do we women have to wrap our bodies and hearts around our husbands? Why? It's not fair! β
"Fair? You talk to me about fairness? Xiao Chong seemed to be extremely angry, not angry but laughing, and pinched my chin with a backhand. I felt like my jaw was about to be crushed.
"This king tells you what justice is! Power is fair, power is fair, status is fair! Do you think that you were making such a fuss on the street that day, and I whipped Lianzhi because you lost the face of this king? Believe it or not, this king will send you out with a letter of resignation, and on other days, when you are helpless and poked by others, you can really see your own situation! At that point, I hope you'll be able to stand up straight like you do today, and be fair with me. β
I sneered, "In that case, why didn't the prince take this opportunity to divorce me." First, so that I can see the real society, and in the future, my life and death, honor and disgrace will definitely not have anything to do with your Fengyi Palace. Secondly..... If I leave, won't I be able to make room for your beloved second lady? β
Xiao Chong's expression froze, and his face was covered with a layer of cool frost.
"Lianzhi, serve your master to drink medicine!" Lian Zhi was seriously injured, and the little maid Lian Ye brought the medicine to me with a sense of understanding.
Looking at the black bowl of medicinal soup with an unpleasant smell, I didn't hesitate to break the bowl to pieces.
"I don't drink it, and I won't drink it again. Who knows if you've poisoned the medicine. β
Since the last time I vomited blood, Lian Zhi would serve such a bowl of black decoction at the end of dinner every day, it was unpleasant and tight, but I didn't have any doubts about it.
It is only today that I am reminded of the unintentional words I blurted out.
What's that? Why do you drink it every day? I didn't seem to have thought about it carefully before today, I don't know why, but I just feel that although Xiao Chong doesn't love me, it won't hurt me.
"Another bowl. If you don't drink this medicine today, the next generation will receive Lianye! β
The little maid brought another bowl and presented it to me tremblingly. I looked at the two thin arms in front of me, and finally picked up the bowl and threw it up.
Xiao Chong was very satisfied, flicked his sleeves, and left.
He was gone for days, and I haven't seen him since.
But the order of grounding did not disappear with its owner, and every day there were two people standing at the door of my room.
I was locked up in the house with Reneda, and it was boring. I couldn't even get the three of them together, so I forced her to play reversi with me every day, but all I thought was how I could get out of here.
I can't wait to meet Lige.
Until Dai Congyun came to me for the second time. She said she could help me get out.
"Why are you helping me?" I looked warily at the woman in front of me. Compared to the last time I saw her, her waist is now rounded again.
Dai Congyun gently stroked her round belly, "Sister wants freedom, Congyun wants the love of the prince, we don't conflict, right?" β
She didn't hide her ambition at all, and she confessed her heart to me so directly.
When I thought about it, it turned out to be true. So he went out of the house according to Dai Congyun's method and met Li Ge smoothly.
