Chapter 156 Unkind Invitation

"Gu Gu Gu Gu, Gu Gu Gu..."

Several pheasants crowed from the forest, and Xu Ruqing suddenly woke up from a nap in the car.

When I opened the corner of the car curtain and looked outside, the sky was still gray and dark blue, but towards the east I saw that it had turned slightly white.

It seems that dawn is not far away.

Changsun Gongyu, who was always paying attention to Xu Ruqing's every move, knew exactly what she was thinking. He calmly said to the people guarding outside: "Wei En."

"My subordinates are here, what are your orders, Master?"

"The thick fog has almost dissipated, let's set off back."

Wei En looked at the sky and the road conditions. After making sure he could leave, he answered yes.

"Da da da, da da da..."

The carriage drove slowly by, and the sound seemed lonely and monotonous in the desolate and populated mountain forest. The leaves falling on both sides of the path swayed above the ground with the biting cold wind, and finally fell into dust and became part of the land. Pulling the cart

There was only one horse, handsome and strong, its hooves hitting the ground, splashing up bursts of icy sand and mist.

After about half an hour, the four of them finally arrived at the center of Bianjing City.

"Young Master, my maid and I are getting off here. Thank you for escorting me. Please take care of yourself for the rest of the journey." Zhiqu, who was still sleeping, was easily picked up by Xu Ruqing and jumped out of the carriage.

The location they were currently in was the First Street of Bianjing City, only about a quarter of an hour away from Prince Wei's Mansion. She had to be on guard when going out, and she didn't want her address to be easily known to a stranger.

Changsun Gongyu frowned slightly when he heard this. He looked out and saw that it was still early. There were only one or two vendors on the street setting up stalls to do business. The street was empty and desolate, and there was endless darkness at the end, like a deep

The bottomless whirlpool makes people subconsciously feel that there must be hidden power that can swallow people up.

He was vaguely worried. No matter how strong Xu Ruqing was, she was just a woman and needed to be protected. If she was in any danger...

There was concern in his tone, and a kind of reluctance that he didn't even notice: "Are you leaving now? If you are not in a hurry, you can send the two girls to your residence first and then go back."

Xu Ruqing turned around and shook his head: "No, my home is not far ahead. It won't take long to walk there. Young master has already helped me a lot, why is Ruqing so embarrassed to trouble you again and again."

"It's not troublesome, it's just a little effort, Miss Xu..."

Gong Yu, the eldest grandson, still wanted to persuade her to stay, but Xu Ruqing interrupted her: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore."

Gong Yu, the eldest grandson, looked at her determined little face and felt very reluctant to give up, but in the end he still chose to respect her intention.

"Okay, but before you leave, I have a gracious favor."

Xu Ruqing was slightly confused and waited quietly for his next words.

"There is an ancient saying that a gentleman should avoid sexual immorality, and choosing a friend is like seeking a teacher. Although you and I met by chance, we have formed an indissoluble bond, which is very precious and rare. I wonder if Miss Xu can tell me where to go.

I can’t see you until I have time to hang out someday. How about I treat you to a cup of tea?”

Xu Ruqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. She thought he was going to say something, but it turned out to be this.

"What's the problem? If the young master wants to find me, just go to Manchun Tower and talk to the shopkeeper there."

"Okay, that's it. Take care on the road, Miss Xu."

Xu Ruqing nodded lightly: "See you later."

Then she turned around and left with Zhiqu in her arms, walking towards the end of the street.

Changsun Gongyu watched her leave. Even though the light blue silhouette had long since disappeared into the dim sky, he still stared in that direction for a long time, unable to regain his senses.

It was Wei En who reminded him: "Sir, Miss Xu has gone far."

After hearing this, Changsun Gongyu's thoughts returned to reality. He looked away, feeling disappointed for no reason.

"Let's go, we still have things to deal with."

"yes."

…

When Zhiqu woke up, it was already midnight in the afternoon three days later, and it was almost time for dinner.

"Zhiqu, you're awake!" Qiu Ju was surprised and happy, coughing, "Amitabha, you're finally awake. You've been sleeping for three days and three nights, and you almost scared us!"

Zhiqu was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

What! She actually slept for three days and three nights!

"I don't know how worried the princess is. She asked people to come over several times a day to ask questions, and even came to see you in person. It's a pity that you don't know." Qiu Ju continued.

Zhiqu's mouth felt very dry, and his throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton. His voice was extremely soft and weak: "What's wrong with me? By the way, where is the princess? She's not injured, right?!"

"After you came back, you continued to have a high fever and it couldn't be lowered. It was only after the princess treated you that you started to feel better. The princess should be making medicine for you in the medicine room now. She is fine. Don't worry."

When she first came back, the little girl looked fine, but she started to have a fever when she fell asleep. She blushed fiercely and her body temperature was frighteningly hot. Fortunately, Xu Ruqing took care of it in time and found anti-fever tablets from the space to feed her.

Come on, or you'll probably burn yourself into a fool.

"That's good." If anything happened to Xu Ruqing because of herself, she would never feel at ease in her life.

"I haven't asked you yet, what happened to you and the princess when you went out? Why did the doctor say that you were sick because you were too frightened?"

"Maybe I just caught a little bit of wind and cold in the suburbs. It's not as exaggerated as he said." Qiu Ju didn't know about this, which meant that the princess didn't tell her the reason. Looking back now, what happened that day was really shocking.

Qiu Ju would only scare her, and it would be better to do less than to do more.

Qiu Ju felt that Zhiqu was hiding something from her, and she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction: "I don't believe it."

Meeting her searching eyes, Zhiqu sighed helplessly: "Okay, if you have the leisure to guess riddles, you don't have to do anything?"

Qiu Ju smiled: "The princess said, what I have to do now is to take good care of you, and leave other things to the sisters in the inner courtyard."

Qiu Ju has been staying by her bedside since she returned home. The princess asked her to take good care of her. The high fever finally subsided but the fever must not rise again. Qiu Ju did indeed stay by her side every step of the way.

As he was talking, a rough voice came from the door: "I'll just go in and take a look, and then leave."

"Guard Xuan, Sister Zhiqu is still very weak. You'd better wait for another day." The maid guarding outside the door said in a clear voice.

During the tug-of-war, another figure of Pingting appeared at the door: "It doesn't matter, just let him in."

It’s the princess’s voice!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Ye rushed in.
