Madam, she always wants to run away

Chapter 55
When Li Ying woke up, she felt as if someone had beaten her whole body, and her body was sore everywhere.

"Husband—" Li Ying called out weakly.

No one responded, strangely, Li Ying opened his eyes, and saw that the place where Xiao Lian was lying next to him was empty.

"Ma'am, you're awake." Hsinchu heard the sound and pushed the door open, and now Hsinchu finally called "Madam" fluently.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he could smell an extremely ambiguous atmosphere. He glanced at the messy wedding bed, and was so ashamed that he didn't even know where to put his eyes.

Li Ying pretended not to see Hsinchu's eyes flying around, pretending to be calm and asked: "Hey, that... Where is the prince?"

"Return to madam, the lord has already left the house." Hsinchu decided to follow suit and pretend to be stupid to the end.

"What?!" Li Ying sat up from the bed in a "swish" manner: "Where did he go?"

"At this time, the prince is about to leave the city gate."

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"The original words of the prince are like this." Hsinchu imitated Xiao Lian's appearance, and said in a low voice deliberately: "When the princess fled from Nanhe, she said that she was most uncomfortable with the crying scene when parting. So is Wang, so don't wake her up, just let her sleep, lest she cry and hurt her heart."

"Good job, Xiao Lian!" Li Ying couldn't help but spit after hearing this: "It turns out that he didn't forget this episode at all, and he only had it until now. He really knows how to hold grudges!"

That's what Li Ying said, but she didn't move at all. After washing her face indiscriminately and changing her clothes, she hurried out the door. If she took a carriage at this time, she really couldn't catch up to see him off.

But when he was about to reach the gate of the city, Li Ying had to abandon his horse and walk, because the roads on both sides of the gate were already blocked by the people who came to see him off, and in the middle of the road were mighty Daling soldiers. Wearing armor, he is tall and straight, and his young faces are full of determination to win.

Li Ying had no time to admire, she was very anxious, Xiao Lian must be at the front of this endless line, how could she squeeze in?

Just when Li Ying thought that she really wouldn't see Xiao Lian for the last time, a familiar voice suddenly came from above her head: "Cousin Ying! Why did you come here?!"

It was Cao Wenxian, she was standing at the highest point of the city gate.

"Xian'er, hurry up, take me up!"

"Okay!" Cao Wenxian ran down from the city gate, opened the door from the inside, and pulled Li Ying in.

"Xian'er, why are you so smart that you know to see you off here?" Li Ying finally squeezed out of the crowd, she climbed up the city gate in three steps at a time, and asked out of breath.

"Cousin Ying, you don't know yet." Cao Wenxian blushed before she finished speaking: "Doctor Duan, he is the accompanying military doctor this time."

"I see." Li Ying smiled and said, "You are here to see off your future husband."

"Oh, I knew you were going to make fun of me again." Cao Wenxian was ashamed, but she couldn't help but continued: "I got up before dawn, and I begged the guard at the city gate for a long time before he agreed to let me in." Yes, I waited here for an hour, but luckily it was not in vain."

While talking, they reached the highest point of the city gate hand in hand.

"Cousin Ying, look, they are there." Cao Wenxian pointed to the front of the army, and Li Ying saw the back of the majestic man wearing a helmet and a red cloak at a glance.

"Xiao - Lian -" Li Ying formed a ring with his hands and shouted towards Xiao Lian's back.

Despite the hustle and bustle around, Li Ying's voice was still heard by Xiao Lian clearly with the wind.

From a distance, Li Ying saw the man on the horse turned around, she couldn't see his expression clearly, but she just felt Xiao Lian's eyes passed through the crowd and fell on her from afar.

Li Ying's nose was sore, she murmured: "I wish you a triumphant return."

Xiao Lian didn't speak, but waved to her silently.

Duan Yanlin next to him also waved goodbye to Cao Wenxian again.

The silence speaks.

The two stood on the gate of the city like this until the [-] troops had gone far away and there was no more soldier to be seen. Cao Wenxian sniffled and threw herself into Li Ying's arms sobbing softly.

"Woooooooo—they must be safe."

"Yes, I will." Li Ying's words were not only comforting Cao Wenxian, but also comforting herself.

Back at Li's Mansion on Changning Street, even though there was only one person missing, Li Ying felt that everything was deserted.

Zhao Minyi knew that Li Ying was not feeling well, so he deliberately put down what he was doing to talk to her.

"By the way, which of your worrying younger brothers didn't know what kind of cramp, left a note yesterday and disappeared."

"What note?" Li Ying asked with a frown. He couldn't follow this chaos.

"I'll get it for you to see." It was rare for her daughter to lift up her spirits. Zhao Minyi wished she could say a few more words. Seeing her daughter's listless appearance, she felt uncomfortable as a mother.

Zhao Minyi quickly brought the note from Li Xuan's room, and saw a few words written on it in a fluttering pattern: "I'm depressed, I'm going to Lingshan Taoist Temple to stay for a few days, and I'll come back when I feel better, don't look for me."

"Cut." Li Ying was annoyed and funny: "You are so young, there are quite a lot of tricks. Have you looked for it?"

"Not yet." Zhao Minyi said: "I just saw this note after Xu o'clock last night. I wanted to go up the mountain overnight to catch him, but your father refused."

"It's not safe to go up the mountain in the middle of the night. My brother is now considered a half-adult. Although his actions are a bit absurd, it's not out of the question. It's not too late to persuade him to come back today."

"Your father also said the same, but today is the day of the expedition, and your father is also busy, so he hasn't had time to find your brother."

"Then I'll go there, Lingshan Taoist Temple, I'm pretty familiar with it."

Sitting in the carriage, Li Ying couldn't help recalling the scene when she met Xiao Lian at Lingshan Taoist Temple. At that time, she secretly wanted to find a master to change the date of marriage, but in the end she married Xiao Lian by mistake.

When recalling that he casually said that he was knocked dizzy by him, and he foolishly went to the queen mother to beg for medicine for dizziness, Li Ying couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

"Ma'am, what are you laughing at?" Hsinchu looked curiously at Li Ying who was giggling.

"It's nothing." Li Ying waved her hand and smiled, she suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.

Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian, why do I miss you after you've been away for a long time?

The carriage bumped to the Lingshan Taoist Temple halfway up the mountain. After a long time, the little Taoist priest in the Taoist temple recognized Li Ying at a glance.

"Wangfei?!" The little Taoist was surprised, and then realized his impoliteness: "I have seen Wangfei."

"You don't need to be too polite." Li Ying smiled slightly: "Lingshan Taoist Temple can be regarded as the place where I and the prince became friends. You are all my benefactors."

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." The little Taoist hastily declined.

"Are Master Sifang and Master Yiyuan here today?" At that time, Master Yiyuan who was mistaken for Master Sifang left a very deep impression on Li Ying.

"Master is watching, but Master Uncle has gone wandering again and hasn't returned yet."

"So, today I will bother Master Sifang. Speaking of which, I have never met Master."

"Princess, please come in."

The little Taoist led Li Ying to Zeng Jin's tea room again, this time Master Sifang appeared very soon.

Li Ying was stunned for a moment when he saw the middle-aged Taoist priest in front of him.

Master Sifang asked with a smile, "Why does the princess have such an expression?"

Li Ying concealed her surprise and said, "It's nothing, I just didn't expect that the master and your senior brother are so different."

Master Sifang laughed loudly: "The princess is not the only one who said that, but there are not a few of my senior brothers who mistook my senior brother as a poor Taoist in the Taoist temple."

Li Ying had a face full of embarrassment: "I'm not afraid of Master's jokes, I admitted my mistake the last time I came here."

"Hahaha, princess, don't worry about it. When the prince saw Pindao for the first time, his reaction was exactly the same as yours."

"Oh?" Speaking of Xiao Lian, Li Ying became curious: "Master, the prince said that you calculated that he and I were a match made in heaven, and you also set the wedding date in three months. Is there such a thing that is so accurate? Can you help me figure it out..."

In the middle of Li Ying's words, he saw Master Sifang's expression dodging, as if there was something unspeakable hidden.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Master Sifang seemed to struggle for a long time, and finally asked: "A match made in heaven, is this what the prince told you, the princess?"

"Yes." Li Ying asked doubtfully, and then she quickly turned the corner: "Could it be?!"

Master Sifang saw that the princess was a smart person, so he didn't hide it any more. He said frankly: "At that time, Pindao was ordered to calculate your fate, Wangfei, but it was very strange that no matter how I calculated, I couldn't see the trend of your fortune. , I really dare not assert the marriage between the two of you."

"Then...you told the prince truthfully?"

"That's natural. Unexpectedly, the prince became very angry on the spot. The coffee table under your hands, my concubine, was split in half by the prince. The prince even threatened the poor. I want to smash the poor way." Master Sifang pinched his neck like Xiao Lian crushed the teacup at that time.

Li Ying never expected that behind her marriage with Xiao Lian, there was such a hidden secret!
"Then master, why did you tell me?"

"To tell you the truth, my lord, since I have been doing divination and fortune-telling for others, my lord is absolutely unprecedented, and never will come again. Fortunately, after my lord insisted on marrying my lord, the two of you have a very strong relationship, and my lord is almost Pindao was very relieved to escape from death this time. Telling the truth to Wang Hao this time, since the time has come, it can also be regarded as a small punishment for Wang Ye's arrogance by Pin Dao, I hope Wang Hao will understand."

After listening to Master Sifang's words, Li Ying was stunned for a long time.

So at that time, he lied to himself, the queen mother, and everyone else, just to marry her into the family smoothly.

Behind the unknown, how many things he has done silently for him...

Li Ying's eye sockets were moist.

Master Sifang turned his back to save face for Li Ying.

After a while, Li Ying finally suppressed the sore and rising emotions in his chest.She adjusted her mood, and said again: "Thank you master for telling me this today, I... have benefited a lot."

Master Sifang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Princess, you are welcome."

"By the way, master." Li Ying almost forgot the business: "Is my younger brother with you?"

"Brother?" Master Sifang recalled: "Oh, it was almost evening yesterday, and a young young man came up the mountain, saying that he wanted to cultivate his character quietly. He is really a child who can be taught. It turns out that he is your younger brother, Wangfei."

Li Ying smiled awkwardly, it seems that the master has not figured out brother's temper, otherwise he would never be able to say such a compliment.

"Where is my brother now?"

"After the boy came, he shut himself in the guest room, and the poor Taoist didn't see each other again."

"This Li Xuan, is this how he cultivates his body? It's just nonsense."

"You don't need to get angry, princess, you can rest assured to go and see for yourself."

Li Ying quickly arrived at the guest room led by the little Taoist priest.

"Xuan'er." Li Ying shouted while knocking on the door.

There was a rustling sound in the guest room, and then the door was opened, and a man walked out from inside.

But not Li Xuan.

"Awang?" It was Li Xuan's personal servant who came out, and Li Ying asked, "Where is Li Xuan?"

"Miss, master, he has gone out."

"Where have you been?"

"The young master said that the scenery on the Lingshan Mountain is good. He was depressed and wanted to go out for a walk by himself to relax, and he was not allowed to follow him."

"The bigger you get, the less sensible you become. When did he go out?"

"I went out in the morning when it was dark."

"What?! The time is almost over, he hasn't returned yet, what... what is he eating on the mountain?" Li Ying's heart skipped a beat.

Only then did Ah Fu realize that this matter was inappropriate, and hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Miss, young master, he must not let the younger one follow, there is really no way for the younger one..."

"Don't talk about it, let's go find it separately, don't encounter any wild beasts on the mountain."

"Yes."

Led by a little Taoist priest, the group searched for Li Xuan's footprints in the mountains.

"Xuan'er—"

"Master—where are you, master—"

As the sun gradually went down, the light in the mountains also became weaker and weaker. The group of people searched to no avail, so they had to return to the Taoist temple.

"What should I do, miss, do you want to report to the master and madam?" Ah Fu was in a hurry: "It's all the fault of the little one, it's all the fault of the little one!"

Ah Fu was about to cry when he said that, if something really happened to the young master, how could he explain it to the old lady!It's not enough to lose your own life!

Li Ying was also in a hurry, but she believed that Adifu's life would be fine, and he was very skilled in martial arts, even if he encountered any accidents, he would definitely survive.

"You are waiting for my brother at the Taoist temple. If he comes back, there will be a response. I will go down the mountain and bring more people up the mountain to search tomorrow. It is not appropriate to tell your parents about this. They are old and can't stand it. Suddenly."

With Li Ying in charge, Ah Fu, who lost his soul, finally calmed down a bit.

Li Ying rushed down the mountain at sunset, facing the inquiries of his parents, Li Ying had no choice but to lie and said: "Brother, he is doing well in the Taoist temple, he insisted on staying there for a few more days, father, mother, don't worry , I will go again tomorrow, and I must be dragged down the mountain by him."

That night Li Ying stayed up all night worrying about his younger brother's whereabouts. Before dawn, he took the guards of the palace and went to Lingshan again.
