After Qu Xiaonan heard this, she didn't dare to stay too long, and hurriedly hid aside, waiting for the fourth prince Fuliang to finish speaking, she came out and went in to say hello to the emperor.

The emperor has always treated their family well, so Qu Xiaonan has no ill will towards the emperor, and when she was shocked, she was also very shocked.

The emperor was carefully repairing his beloved potted plant with delicate scissors, and Qu Xiaonan stood on the side, not knowing what to do.

"The marriage between Miss Qu and General Li is really a match made in heaven," the emperor looked at the delicate scissors in his hand, and asked Qu Xiaonan beside him with a light smile: "General Li is a talent, Wen Taowu is strategic, and he is the most powerful general in my heart, and your father is also my most important minister, I am very relieved that the two of you can be together." ”

The emperor seemed to have no intention, but every word was full of irony, satirizing Qu Xiaonan who insulted the four princes so much before and refused to marry the four princes, but now he stammered with Li Xiuye.

Although Qu Xiaonan is still young, after all, she has been exposed to it since she was a child, so she can naturally understand the irony in the emperor's words, but she can't care about these now.

She was thinking about how to let Li Xiuye get through this crisis safely.

"Your Majesty, I want to know when Li Xiuye will be able to come back from this battle?" She asked the Emperor in a low voice, hoping to get some news from the Emperor.

"General Li has already rushed to the border with his men and horses, and this time, I'm afraid it's a little dangerous." The emperor put down the scissors in his hand and turned his head to stare at Qu Xiaonan seriously.

There was concern in his eyes: "General Li has fought for the country for many years, and I am very worried about his safety, but you can rest assured, General Li has not been defeated for many years, and I think this time I will be safe." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qu Xiaonan looked at the emperor gratefully, the emperor's words were very subtle, but she could still guess the deep meaning.

When Qu Xiaonan left, the emperor stopped her again and instructed her: "Miss Qu, if it's okay, you can enter the palace more often and play with a few princes and princesses, it's also good." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty," she nodded, turning to leave.

Qu Xiaonan was a little depressed, although Li Xiuye was indeed very powerful, and he didn't need others to worry about it.

The enemy can't hurt him at all, but if his own people stab him in the back, it won't be necessarily, but in front of Li Xiuye's expedition, he is in danger, and the emperor has already decided to secretly harm him.

Just when she was thinking about being fascinated, the fourth prince Fuliang appeared behind her at some point,

Frightened, Qu Xiaonan hurriedly took a few steps back and almost fell.

Her eyes widened, and she looked at Fu Liang who suddenly appeared with some anger, and Fu Liang looked at Qu Xiaonan with a smile: "Why, I'm really so terrible." ”

Fu Liang smiled heartlessly, Fu Liang looked handsome and chic, looking like a noble child, looking very eye-catching.

In fact, Qu Xiaonan didn't dislike him, but she didn't want to marry these princes who were vain before, so she made this move to embarrass Fuliang on the spot, and now she was relieved to see him smiling heartlessly.

Fu Liang looked at her condescendingly, looked at her with a smile for a while, and then spoke: "I have always been unable to figure out one thing, and when I don't look down on me, why do you look down on Li Xiuye, who is one level lower than me?" ”

Qu Xiaonan didn't answer him, just continued to walk forward by himself, but Fu Liang became interested for a while, and kept teasing her behind her,

Qu Xiaonan was very annoyed, so he replied a few words.

The two of them chased me in the imperial garden for a long time, and finally the two of them gave up, but Qu Xiaonan didn't want to be entangled with the fourth prince anymore, so he left and left.

When I returned home, I couldn't rest assured that Li Xiuye couldn't worry about it.

She couldn't sit still, and paced up and down the courtyard every day, and after about a month, the sunny day turned cloudy, and the torrential rain poured down, and finally she couldn't help it, and decided to go to the border to see if she could find some way.

It's just that the guards in the palace kept stopping her: "Madam, the border is too dangerous, you can't go." ”

"Your general's life is in danger," Qu Xiaonan said a little impatiently, but the guards still disagreed, "Madam, this border is too far away, and there are many dangers on the road, you better stay in the mansion obediently, if something happens, the general will blame it, and we can't bear it." ”

"I have to go to the border, I have to visit the general," Qu insisted.

In the end, this group of people really couldn't resist her, so they could only send people to protect Qu Xiaonan's safety on the way, and Qu Xiaonan was a little relieved.

It's just that on the way, the people sent by Qu Xiaonan came from the border with good news, saying that Li Xiuye was injured and missing, and the border was in turmoil, the people were displaced, and the court was in chaos.

Such a situation made Qu Xiaonan even more worried, for fear that something would really happen to Li Xiuye.

When Li Xiuye was found, he was behind a messy wild mountain, and the blood stains on the ground had solidified, and the people who watched it were shocked.

The carriage that Li Xiuye was riding overturned, and Li Xiuye was pressed to the ground, Qu Xiaonan was just passing by here, but he didn't expect to be able to find Li Xiuye's traces.

At this time, the torrential rain was pouring, and she was soaked, just wanting to save Li Xiuye as soon as possible.

Li Xiuye was lying on the ground at the moment, his body had become cold and stiff.

Qu Xiaonan stretched out his hand and touched Li Xiuye's nose, and found that he was still breathing, and his heart finally relaxed a lot.

She helped Li Xiuye up from the ground, pushed him into the carriage with all her strength, and then found the nearest dilapidated hut, and she hurriedly put Li Xiuye on the weeds in the house.

He received a basin of rain to clean his wounds, and his injuries did not look light, with many abrasions on his body, and his clothes were soaked in tatters from the rain.

Why is he alone in this wilderness?

She had worked hard to take care of him all night, and it was not until the next morning that he gradually woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a pile of broken grass, with a musty smell everywhere and a leaky roof.

He sat up with a frown, the wound on his body made him gasp in pain, and he looked at the wound on his body, his face turned pale.

Qu Xiaonan heard the movement and hurriedly walked in.

"You're awake," Qu Xiaonan's voice trembled.

Li Xiuye looked at Qu Xiaonan with some incredulity: "Why are you here?" ”

Qu Xiaonan: "I have always been relieved of you, so I thought about coming to you, but I didn't expect to meet you here on the way." ”

"You bandaged all the wounds on my body?" Li Xiuye looked at Qu Xiaonan in some surprise.

Qu Xiaonan nodded, Li Xiuye sighed, and rubbed Qu Xiaonan's long hair: "I'm really embarrassed for you." ”

"So what now? I don't think it's good outside! Qu Xiaonan asked worriedly.

Speaking of this, Li Xiuye's face was a little ugly.
