Chapter 12: Grievances
The snow began to fall again.
Fortunately, the people who live here are either rich or wealthy, and there are lanterns hanging in front of every house, so you can barely see the road under your feet.
Tightly clasped his arms, Huan Ci walked slowly forward through the snow.
Fang had just knelt for a while, her knees were aching faintly, and the feeling of being lightheadedness made her feel even more aggrieved.
"Brute!"
She held back the tears that wanted to fall, and cursed through gritted teeth.
Gradually, the surroundings became darker and darker, and the snow became heavier.
Huan Ci didn't know where she went, the dark alley made her a little apprehensive, and Kihara's unrecognizable corpse suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Wang-"
The sudden sound of a vicious dog barking frightened her into running away, but she tripped over something on the ground.
The weather was obviously very cold, but Huan Ci was hot.
Fine sweat flowed out of time, and it was even more uncomfortable to be blown by the wind.
Huan Ci regretted it at this time, he knew that he would not be reckless, and now he is really self-inflicted.
After rubbing her sour eyes, she slowly moved forward against the wall, and it was really impossible to find a family to spend the night.
Suddenly, a faint light flashed in the distance, which made her heart jump again.
She walked slowly towards the light, not expecting it to be coming this way quickly.
It's A-Yao!
Huan Ci finally saw the person who came, and it was A-Yao who came to find her.
"Girl, I've finally found you." A-Yao rushed over and hugged her.
Huan Ci's tears fluttered uncontrollably, and his hands tightly wrapped around Ah Yao's arms.
"What's the matter, girl?" Ah Yao was frightened by her and hurriedly helped her wipe her tears.
"It's too dark, I'm scared." Huan Ci muttered.
However, the growing contingent in front of her quickly stopped her crying and stared at the group of officers and soldiers with serious expressions in dismay.
Ah Yao turned her head to look at the prince and his attendants, and explained, "The girl has not come back, I am very worried, so I went to find the prince." They said you were in the palace, but the people in the palace said you had already gone out, so we had to look around. ”
Huan Ci wiped his tears in shame and said, "Thank you Your Highness for your trouble." ”
"How did you get here?" Zong Zhengche looked at her suspiciously.
"You went to the palace to find me?" Huan Ci said tentatively.
"It was His Highness who sent someone to find out the news, and the people in the palace said that the girl had left the palace. When I asked them, I couldn't tell what time it was, but I said that you were no longer there, and that we should look elsewhere. Yao explained softly in her ear.
Huan Ci secretly observed Zong Zhengche's expression, and lied: "After I came out of the palace, it was too dark, and I lost my way, fortunately you came, otherwise I would have frozen to death tonight." ”
"Where did the UAE go?" A-Yao asked with a frown.
"The people from Dali Temple took him for questioning." Huan Ci explained softly, "It's okay, I'll go to Dali Temple to find him in person tomorrow." ”
Now she just wants to go back quickly, because she can't find out how much Zong Zhengche knows, she doesn't want to say more.
Soon after, a tall figure appeared outside a modest house.
Sweeping Leaves got into it with a strange expression and rushed all the way to the master's room.
The lights had been turned off in the courtyard, and no movement could be heard.
Sweeping Ye hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"What's the matter?" A low, hoarse voice came from inside the room.
Sweeping Ye sighed lightly, leaned against the door and said, "Master, the county lord has gone back." ”
"I see." The man's voice rang out again.
"County Lord, she-" Saoye paused, "she was sent back by the crown prince." ”
Sweeping Ye pricked up his ears and listened, wondering about his grandfather's reaction, but this time he didn't get a response for a long time.
"Got it."
Just as he was about to go back to his room, the man's angry voice rang out unexpectedly.
"Take a good rest." Sweeping Ye breathed a sigh of relief and fled back to his room.
