Li Ke's smile gradually disappeared, his expression became angry, and he said: "I have a way to make Li Zhi eat... You bunch of dog slaves, why don't you get out of the way quickly? If Li Zhi is hungry, be careful.
The emperor will chop off all your heads. Xiao Duzi, bring some food and let's go in!"
With that said, Li Ke pushed away the imperial guards blocking the front and walked in first.
Du He hurriedly stepped forward, took the food from the hands of the two eunuchs, and followed Li Ke forward arrogantly like a dog slave.
Du He thought to himself, this guy looks gentle and weak, but he didn't expect to have such a decisive side, but he has a bit of real temperament. He is much better than the coward Li Chengqian and the duplicitous guy Li Tai.
many.
After walking into the door, Li Ke hurriedly turned around and closed the door, and then said to Du He: "Lizhi is inside. With her temper, I am afraid that the maids who serve her will not be scolded anymore. Go and have a look quickly. First
Let her eat something, and I will stay here for you, but not for too long, no more than one stick of incense. If the Queen finds out, we will all be in big trouble!"
Du He patted Li Ke on the shoulder: "Your Highness, King of Shu, thank you very much!"
Li Ke watched Du He leave, and quickly took the time to sit on the ground, leaning against the lantern, and began to enjoy the playing cards. This time he learned his lesson and looked up from time to time to look at his surroundings.
…
In the silent hall.
The powerful wind blew up the bead curtain, making a clear and crisp sound.
Li Lizhi sat alone by the window, looking at the moon in the sky. Her originally cute face was now full of sadness.
"Tomorrow night is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I don't know if Du He will come to save me!"
"This princess is really fed up with the life in this deep palace... If you have the chance to go out again, even if you go to the ends of the world, don't come back again!"
"This is really unreasonable!"
Li Lizhi complained.
Since she was brought back yesterday, she has been locked up in this palace, surrounded by guards and eunuchs and maids. Want to escape? There is no door.
After struggling several times, she gave up and simply went on a hunger strike to fight.
Suddenly, Li Lizhi heard footsteps behind her.
She didn't even look back and shouted loudly: "Get out of here. This princess will starve to death and won't eat. Just let me starve to death."
A very familiar voice came from behind: "How can we do without eating?"
Li Lizhi turned around in disbelief and saw Du He standing there through the moonlight outside the window, looking at her with a smile.
is this real?
Li Lizhi said in disbelief: "Du He, is it you?"
She even suspected that she was dreaming.
But Du He smiled and nodded.
Li Lizhi could no longer hold back her excitement, jumped up, ran over, threw herself into Du He's arms, and hugged Du He tightly.
After a long while, she let go of Du He and said with a blushing face: "I thought you were living happily alone in the Dream Group and didn't care about my life or death."
Du He smiled and said: "You are my wife, how can I leave you here to suffer alone."
Li Lizhi took Du He's hand and said, "Du He, please take me to elope. Let's leave now."
Du He shook his head and pointed outside: "We can't leave. The guards outside are tight. I'm afraid I'll be caught before I even get out of the gate."
The thought of eloping with the princess was exciting. But Du He was not frightened by the situation yet.
Li Lizhi asked again: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival. My mother, my father, and the ministers of the court want me to marry my cousin, but I don't like him at all. He is an uneducated person.
How can this princess marry such a person... You will come to save me, right?"
As he spoke, a pair of eyes as bright as stars stared at Du He unblinkingly.
Du He really wanted to take this little beauty, and then Li Yuanshu, to an isolated place to build a house, facing the sea from then on, with spring flowers blooming...
He shook his head and said: "It won't work either. First, I didn't get an invitation from the Mid-Autumn Poetry Recital, which means I can't attend tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Poetry Recital. Second, His Majesty sent someone to the Dream Group before dark to ask me to stay overnight.
Set off to Tongzhou, now, I should be on the road to Tongzhou, not here..."
Snapped.
Li Li slapped the table angrily: "This is unreasonable. What my father did is really too much. Doesn't that mean that there is no room for redemption in this matter? Does this princess really want to marry that idiot Chang Sun Chong...
…”
Li Lizhi lowered her head and said reluctantly.
But Du He laughed and said: "With me here, of course this kind of thing can't happen! Tomorrow, it's up to me. However, in order to increase the chance of success, there are two more things you need to do."
When Li Lizhi heard this, her eyes immediately lit up and she grabbed Du He's hand: "Speak quickly, you can do anything as long as you don't marry your cousin."
"First," Du He pointed out a finger, "Eat quickly. Only when you are full can you have strength."
Li Lizhi looked at the food on the table and said, "The food has been cold for a long time. If you don't want to eat it, you won't eat it! You won't eat it!"
Du He chuckled: "I've prepared it for you a long time ago. Look, what is this?"
Du He took out a box of cookies from his sleeve.
This thing was nothing special in later generations, but in this era, it was a rare treasure. Li Lizhi had eaten it once, and she has been thinking about it since then and cannot forget it.
When he saw it now, he was so excited that he snatched it from Du He's hand and started eating it voraciously, almost choking.
After eating a few biscuits, Li Lizhi asked: "What's the second thing?"
"The second thing is that we need two props."
Du He said, taking out a mini wine gourd from his sleeve, and then took out two blue pills and handed them to Li Lizhi.
Then, he leaned into Li Lizhi's ear and whispered softly.
Li Lizhi nodded repeatedly at first, but in the end she blushed with embarrassment, hit Du He's chest with her small fist, and said coyly: "Du He, you are so bad."
Bah.
Du He kissed Li Lizhi directly on the cheek.
At this time, Li Ke, who was standing outside, suddenly coughed several times.
Du He knew it was time to leave, so he explained again and added: "Don't forget the second thing. This good show depends entirely on you."
"Know it!"
With that said, Du He took the plate, turned around and ran outside.
Li Ke said anxiously: "Du He, hurry up, hurry up... It's been a long time since I last burned an incense stick!"
It turned out that Li Ke had accidentally been too involved and didn't even know that the stick of incense he lit next to him had burned out.
The two of them hurriedly left the small palace and returned to the Dongneiyuan Lake along the same route. Only then did Li Ke leave.
Du He put on a black diving suit, jumped into the lake, and swam out of the imperial city along the lake.
Even if there were many Imperial Guards guarding both sides of the river leading out of the city, they would never have imagined that someone could hold their breath under the water for more than half an hour and still move freely.
