into the bosom

Chapter 43 Stockholm

"Send two people to follow her!" He Lianshu suddenly let go as if he didn't want to listen to Sule Luoli's chatter.

Su Le became happy when he heard it, and winked at Di Dayi, looking at it, he just said it!He was obviously worried in his heart, but he couldn't hold back his face. What a dead duck!

A cold light swept over, and Su Le's eyelids almost cramped.

He Lianshu stared at him coldly, "Remember, it's for monitoring, not for protection!"

Su Le nodded with a dry smile.

He Lianshu withdrew his gaze, clamped the horse's belly, and one person and one horse galloped away like an arrow leaving the string.

"It's ruthless!"

"It's really duplicity!"

Su Le and Di Da looked at his back, almost speaking in unison, but the words they said were completely different.

The two looked at each other, then turned away abruptly, and stopped looking at each other.

Xu Jiao and Negative Xue returned to Negative Xue's place in Nanyang Mansion - an ordinary dwelling when the dusk fell.

"I have to wrong my lady for the time being!" The room was cramped and the window openings were small. At this time, the sky was already dark, and Neg Xue brought a candle.

Xu Jiao shook his head, "I'm not wronged!"

Negative Xue looked at her, but her expression suddenly became complicated, "My lady must have suffered a lot these days!" His words were full of distress.

Xu Jiao was stunned for a moment before realizing that Negative Xue had misunderstood her. Negative Xue must have noticed the difference between her and the past, but she blamed the difference on everything she had encountered.

But... do you suffer?Thinking about this journey... Except for a few dangers, she didn't seem to have suffered much, right?In terms of food and clothing, that pervert has never treated her badly.

stop!Why did you think of him again?Xu Jiao, you don't have Stockholm Syndrome, do you?

Xu Jiao felt cold for a while, and quickly shook his head, pushed that pervert out of his mind, changed the subject, and asked about Xuedao, "I forgot to ask you on the road just now, why did you stay in Nanyang Mansion and didn't talk to me?" Miss is here?"

Speaking of this, Lingxue's expression darkened, "Before the imperial court took action against the palace, the prince had already had a premonition and sent the princess out of Pingliang City in advance. The princess took us to Baijiang County non-stop, wanting to Pick up the little princess. We made all the preparations and even pretended to be the purple guard, but we didn't expect that we were still a step behind."

"When we arrived, the other courtyard had been completely burned down. The princess thought that you, my lady, had already been buried in the flames! It was only when I was collecting the body in Yizhuang that I realized that it was not you, my lady!"

"Wait! Wait!" Xu Jiao just now felt that something was wrong, and he was completely shocked when he heard this, "So, what you mean is that the group of purple guards who appeared in Baijiang County at that time were... it was you Pretend?"

"Yes!" Negative Xue nodded, looked up to see Xu Jiao's expression of about to faint, startled, and quickly reached out to support her, "Lady, are you alright?"

Xu Jiao was about to faint!Can she not faint?If she knew that the purple guards who made her avoid them were Xu Yi and the others, why would she hide?

In order to survive, she tried her best to curry favor with that pervert, all the things she did to hug her thigh, all the surprises she endured, all the fears she suffered, could they have been avoided at all?

Xu Jiao's stomach was about to regret, but he also knew that it was useless, so he waved his hand weakly and said, "I'm fine, just keep talking!"

Negative Snow glanced at her worriedly, and then said, "The princess knows that if the lady is alive, she will definitely go back to Pingliang City, or she will come to Nanyang Mansion to seek help from the Liu family! I entrusted the matter to my subordinates and Ling Feng. Ling Feng returned to Pingliang City, while my subordinates came to Nanyang Mansion."

"This subordinate has been in Nanyang Mansion for quite a while, and has been observing secretly, not daring to approach Liu's house. This is the princess's intentional confession. The court has slandered the prince for treason. Those so-called criminal evidences come from unknown sources. None of us can believe it! Unexpectedly, the princess was right again, two days ago, a team of purple guards moved into Liu's house! Yesterday I saw some changes in them, so I went to have a look, unexpectedly, I finally found the lady!"

"Miss is safe and sound, if the Princess knows, she will be happy!" When Lingxue said this, the corners of her eyes were slightly wet.

Xu Jiao's smile was a little dry, she was naturally happy to see Negative Xue, because it was one step closer to seeing Xu Yu, but she really couldn't empathize with Negative Xue's many feelings.

"Where is my sister now?" Xu Jiao simply changed the topic, and really wanted to know.

"The princess didn't say anything, and her subordinates have also cut off contact with her. However, the princess has explained to her subordinates and Ling Feng before leaving, but she can leave a mark at the auspicious pawn shop in Feng'an City, and she will come to find us."

"Feng An?" It's Feng An again!Xu Jiao's hand touched an object inside through the sleeve. "Then let's go to Feng'an!"

Negative Snow nodded, "However... Nanyang Mansion is now in danger, and it may not be easy for us to escape."

While talking, there was a faint commotion outside.

The two looked at each other, then Negative Snow stepped forward softly, blew out the candles, and said to Xu Jiao in a low voice, "Mistress, find a place to hide first, and my subordinates go out quietly to have a look!"

Xu Jiao said "Hmm", and then heard a soft "Squeak", and a black shadow flashed out from the crack of the door.

The small small room suddenly fell silent, only the sound of her breathing, and the loud throbbing in her chest, like the beating of a drum.

She huddled in the shadow of the corner of the wall, listening to the faint sound of wind and dogs barking outside, as well as faint human voices, her heart jumped into her throat, and she grasped the object inside more tightly through her sleeve.

At this moment, the door creaked again, and a figure flashed in, Xu Jiao's heart skipped a beat.

"Miss?" She didn't let out a long breath until she heard Neg Xue's voice, "I'm here!" Her voice was already hoarse.

When she was about to stand up, she realized that her legs and feet were already weak, and she almost fell back again.

Lingxue hurriedly came forward to support her, but she whispered in her ear, "People from the imperial court are searching house to house, I'm afraid they will come here in a while!"

"Then what should we do?" Xu Jiao's heartstrings, which had been relaxed a little earlier, suddenly became tense again.

"The area in the north of the city has already been searched. Let's go there at night and hide there overnight. When the city gate opens tomorrow, we will leave as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, lady, I've been here in Nanyang City for so long, and I'm already familiar with the situation in the city. It's not difficult to take you there!"

Xu Jiao nodded. Under such a rigorous search, Nanyang Mansion could not stay any longer, but it might not be easy to leave the city, right?
The night was as thick as ink, and the night not far away was illuminated by rushing torches. It was people from the imperial court who were searching from house to house at night.

He Lianshu stood at the window, looking in the direction of those torches, frowning.

The door squeaked open, and Su Le hurried in, "Simo has sent a letter, and Lingxue has already escorted Mrs. Xu to the north of the city. It should be safe for the time being tonight, you can rest assured!"
