"Yes." Xiao Jin responded calmly: "But madam, you'd better go back to your room first."
"Zhang Yong." Gong Yueyue sat in the chair and looked intently at the man kneeling on the ground.
"The little one is here."
"Do you remember what you said to me?"
"Remember."
"Am I treating you well during these days?"
"Very good. Thanks to Madam, the little one can survive. If anything happens, Madam, just give me your instructions."
"Now, the time has come for you to fulfill your promise."
"Ma'am, please speak."
"Come here." Gong Yueyue asked him to come closer, handed him the silk handkerchief in her hand, and looked into his eyes: "Remember, only you know what I said to you today, and I know it.
There must never be a third person in the world who knows about it, do you understand?"
It's deeper in the middle of the night.
Gong Yueyue put on some light clothes and quietly left the room. Who knew that as soon as she reached the door of the courtyard, someone suddenly appeared next to her and said coldly: "Madam, where are you going?"
Gong Yueyue stood firm and turned around to look, only to see Shi Qin.
"Are you following me?" Her eyebrows raised slightly.
"I don't dare." Shi Qin's face was very calm: "Shi Qin is just loyal to his duty, that's all."
"Be true to your duty? What duty?"
"Shi Qin will not allow anything that threatens the Crown Prince to happen."
"Do you think I will hurt Ah Chen?"
"What else?" Shi Qin crossed his arms on his chest: "There is something, Madam, you'd better understand. Dongyuan and Hei Yi are now hostile, and Madam, she just came back from Hei Yi..."
"Do you think I will go find Zhao Changyuan?"
"Young lady, I never said that. It's just that these are sensitive times, so it's better for Madam to stay on her own terms."
"What if I have to leave the courtyard tonight?"
"That's okay. As long as Madam leaves a letter, saying that she left on her own, and that she will have nothing to do with anyone in the courtyard, whether dead or alive."
"You——" Gong Yueyue's face was livid with anger, but she couldn't say a word.
Shi Qin turned her head, obviously unwilling to say another word to her.
"Okay, I'll write." Gong Yueyue finally turned around, returned to the room, stood at the table and picked up the pen, but she couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears - only then did she understand that she, Gong Yueyue
In his entire life, Yue was only as important as a stone in his eyes, and was nothing more than an obstacle to others.
Shi Qin held her sword and stood aside coldly, as if she was deliberately trying to laugh at her.
Gong Yueyue gritted her teeth, finally picked up the pen, wrote a few lines on the paper, put the pen down and walked out of the room again.
The night wind was cold, blowing past my face like a cold blade.
The moment she walked out of the courtyard, she felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation, and...a touch of sadness.
Perhaps from now on, she will never appear in his life again, and will never have any impact on him.
After leaving the courtyard, she saw a dark forest all around. She didn't know the way, so she could only walk forward in a daze, not knowing what she would encounter.
After walking forward in a zigzag way, the field of vision in front of him suddenly widened. Gong Yueyue's heart slowly calmed down. He sat by the lake and began to think about his own way - he left the small courtyard because he actually wanted to find that place.
The secret buried in the Jinling River.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that the things buried in the river were very important.
After briefly identifying the direction, Gong Yueyue quickened her pace and walked forward. Unfortunately, she was not familiar with the situation here and couldn't find it after walking for a long time.
Gradually, a few glimmers of light lit up in the sky, Gong Yueyue quickened her pace, and finally passed through the woods and continued moving forward.
This section of the road was quite desolate, and there were almost no people on the road. Gong Yueyue didn't pay attention to it, and speeded up his pace.
Finally, when she came to the Jinling River, she looked around first. Although there was no one around, it was not a good thing to dive into the water to find something in broad daylight.
After thinking for a moment, Gong Yueyue walked to the farmland nearby, hid herself in it, and then continued to organize her thoughts.
Watching the night outside gradually getting dark, Gong Yueyue quietly came out and slowly walked towards the river.
When she was young, she had a wet nurse who grew up in a village by the river, so she was proficient in water. Gong Yueyue also learned from her, and she was not afraid of water since she was a child.
After taking off her long clothes and hiding them, Gong Yueyue took a deep breath, jumped into the water, and swam quickly towards the water.
It was originally at night, and it was very difficult to see. It was impossible to see clearly in the darkness. Gong Yueyue could only open her eyes wide and continue moving forward.
"flutter……"
Suddenly she heard a sound of water and something swam past her eyes. Gong Yueyue didn't pay attention and continued to walk forward. Suddenly there was a sharp pain in her arm, as if she had been punctured by a sharp object.
She threw the things out with a strong shake and continued to swim forward, but her face was crowded, as if many swimmers came over and surrounded her. She really had no choice but to retreat to the shore step by step.
She grabbed the edge of the bank with both hands and climbed up. After taking several deep breaths of fresh air, she regained her energy and looked intently into the water, but could not see anything clearly.
She didn't expect things to go so wrong, but it made her feel quite troubled.
...If someone could lure those strange fish away for her, things might be much easier to handle.
But in this wilderness, who can help her?
After much thought, she could only go home.
It's just that she can't go to the small courtyard for the time being. Gong Yueyue is alone in this world, but she feels particularly peaceful in her heart.
She suddenly felt that there was a strange yearning in her bones - if she left Achen, what kind of life would she live? Will she be displaced, or would she encounter something unimaginable?
However, now that she is away from Ah Chen, she has the possibility of surviving alone, because any of the hairpins on her body can be sold for a very high price, but she just needs to find a place to settle down first.
It was getting twilight, so she first found a bun shop and ate some random food, then she found a shabby and old inn to stay at, went to a pawn shop to pawn a pair of earrings, bought two pieces of tattered clothes, and a large
Make steamed buns.
She decided to go to the moat again tonight - to see what would happen if she threw bread crumbs into the river.
Thinking of these things, Gong Yueyue couldn't help but feel a little excited, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the inn. Unexpectedly, she was still some distance away from the inn, but she saw a team rushing from the direction of the city gate, everyone was in a hurry, she hurried
Step to the side of the road and watch the column of people and horses galloping past.
"Boss, they are-"
"Hey." The boss let out a long sigh and shook his head heavily: "The monarch ordered the capital to be moved, and all the rich people in the city have left, for fear of being implicated."
"Then boss, will you leave too?"
"No." The boss shook his head: "We are originally poor people. Our families have no money and we can't afford anything. We are just living in this world and getting by."
Without another word, she went upstairs alone and sat at the table. She waited until the night got dark again before taking her luggage and going out.
Hedu's heart has been in a state of flux recently, and she is always concerned about things that have nothing to do with her. This makes things easier for her.
When she came to the river, Gong Yueyue was ready. Just as she was about to plunge into the river, she was pulled by a strong arm.
"Ah Chen?" Although she was surprised, Gong Yueyue calmed down quickly.
"I'll do it." He couldn't help but snatch the baggage from her hand, and jumped into the water with a splash. Gong Yueyue stood on the bank, dazed for a moment, and then entered the water and swam forward after Ah Chen.
, she watched him lure the fish away, and then speed up and swim toward the center of the river.
There were many discarded objects and bones piled up at the bottom of the river. Gong Yueyue endured the discomfort and used the small stick in her hand to push away the trash and search carefully. Suddenly, the stick touched something hard and she felt a rush all over her body.
Shocked, he quickly dug out the thing and swam it ashore quickly.
There were dark clouds in the sky, and a few faint lights cast down.
Before she could open the lid, the box had already been snatched away by a hand.
"you--"
"We'll see when we get back." He held her hand, his voice firm and unquestionable.
"I can't go back with you."
"What did you say?" His eyebrows immediately raised.
"The monarch is planning to move the capital. I want to know how you plan to do it?"
"I will stay and live and die with Shedu."
"You -" Gong Yueyue couldn't help being surprised: "This is an open confrontation with the king, if he doesn't give you troops or supplies."
"This is not a woman's business." He interrupted coldly, dragging her forward: "A smart woman will understand that the most important thing she should do is to stay by her husband's side."
"No!" Gong Yueyue suddenly tried hard to break free from his hand.
"You." Ah Chen turned his head and looked at her in shock: "Gong Yueyue, what are you going to do?"
"I will not go back with you." Gong Yueyue said in an extremely firm tone: "I will never be the daughter of a subjugated country again."
"The daughter of a subjugated country?" Ah Chen said with a cold face: "Are you so sure that Dongyuan will be destroyed?"
"My premonition is very bad." Looking into his eyes, she said every word.
"What's your hunch?" He came up and grabbed her again: "Let's go, don't hesitate."
"Listen to what I have to say!" Gong Yueyue emphasized her tone and shouted suddenly: "Even if I am not afraid of death, I am willing to die with you here, but do you think about other people? Think about this matter
What consequences will there be?"
"Consequences?" Ah Chen's eyes flashed with surprise: "I thought you were not a person who cared about the life and death of others. Why, now you are worried about others?"
"I just don't want to involve more people." Gong Yueyue's face was as cold as ice.
"Huh?" Ah Chen raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"Bringing me with you is a burden to you."
"A burden? So this is how you see yourself?"
"I don't like death, I don't like disaster, and I don't like the humble feeling of being dependent on others, you know?"
"Are you relying on someone else? So you feel like this when you are by my side? Did I make you unhappy?" (To be continued)
