The beauty raised by Lord Hou is a black lotus

Chapter 82 Although I am a thief, I still have principles
"Then here comes the question," Yuan Chengbi folded his arms leisurely, "How do we get to the Mantou Cave?"

The palace gate of Chengye Palace is controlled by Jiang Yinong's people, and they cannot leave here at all.

He Chenzhu pondered for a moment, then said, "Take the water route."

There is a river in the palace, which divides the whole palace into north and south parts. Jiang Yinong is not familiar with Luo Jing, so he may not notice this.

He Yao carried Jiang Yudi on her back, and the crowd hurried to the riverside under cover of night.

Only a few autumn rains have fallen, and the river is high and the current is fast.

He Yao hesitated, "Sister, it's no problem for me to swim out of the river by myself, but Xiao Lizi was seriously injured, so I'll take her swimming, she definitely won't be able to take it..."

It seemed that someone brought pillows when they fell asleep, and everyone was trying to find a way, when a dark boat sailed quietly from the west.

The gentleman in green clothes and gold hairpin stood at the bow of the boat holding a lantern. When the boat approached, he saw that it was Gu Tingzhou.

"Master Gu!" He Yao's eyes lit up.

Li Cai and Li Fu parked the boat on the shore, and Huo Xiaoqi helped them board the boat quickly.

Huo Xiaoqi gave his hand and helped to carry Jiang Yudi into the cabin, "The spies of Tiansi judge found out that you were in the Chengye palace, and Mr. Gu guessed that Jiang Yinong would come to chase and intercept you, so he told us to prepare a boat to meet you at any time— —Hey, this girl Jiang is seriously hurt, she needs to stop the bleeding immediately."

Although he was born as a martial artist, he is also quite accomplished in medical skills, frowning to help Jiang Yudi re-treat the wound.

He Yao picked up a few lights for him, and said eagerly: "Can Xiaodizi be saved?"

Jiang Li bit her lip and did not dare to interrupt. Tears fell silently, and she stared at Huo Xiaoqi with red eyes, with a little expectation in her eyes.

Huo Xiaoqi was sweating coldly.

The wound was deep and there was too much blood...

Seeing that his lips were tightly pursed and he didn't answer, He Yao guessed that something might be wrong.

Her eyes fell on Jiang Yudi's face. The girl's face was as pale as paper, with two faint blue and black shadows remaining in her eyes, and her breathing seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.

"Little flute..."

She frowned, unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere any longer, she got up and left the cabin.

It is late autumn, and the oncoming night wind carries a coolness.

He Yao rubbed Fanhan's arm.

He Chenzhu followed and put on a thick cloak for her, "Sui Sui..."

He Yao's delicate and pretty face was shrouded in a haze.

She lowered her head, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said with a sob: "Sister, if I hadn't insisted on running away with Xiao Dizi, wouldn't she have died? Everything I did was actually wrong, right? no?"

He Chenzhu always looked calm, "She entered the Crown Prince's Palace, and the ending was the same. It is said that Crown Princess Chen was born into a wealthy family, gentle and virtuous, but in fact she was jealous, cruel and ulterior. As far as I know, those who died in her hands There are as many as eight or nine women, and some of the emperor's heirs were stillborn. Jiang Yudi was poisoned by her before she even entered the prince's palace. Jiang Yudi can't fight her."

He Yao was stunned.

Was the poisoning of the little flute at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet really the work of the Crown Princess?

Thinking of Jiang Yudi who was on the verge of death in the cabin, He Yao choked again, crying and threw herself into He Chenzhu's arms, "Sister, why is it so difficult for them to live well?"

I want to live well, I want to live with dignity.

But dignity and freedom turn out to be such precious things in troubled times, so precious that they need to be exchanged with life.

He Chenzhu patted He Yao's back comfortingly.

He Yao finally had enough crying, and whispered: "I'll go in and have a look at the little flute."

After she left, Gu Tingzhou appeared quietly at the bow of the boat, holding a lantern.

He just heard the conversation between the two sisters.

He looked at the dark road ahead, where the river was filled with water and there was no end in sight.

It was late at night, and there was still such a long time before dawn.

He suddenly said softly: "When He Er and I were trapped in the Steamed Bun Cave, it was Miss He who used the people from Xianlefang to rescue us, right? Miss He is a confidant of the Queen, and the Tiansi Pan is in the same faction as the Queen. We have always been at odds with each other, so why does Miss He want to help us?"

He Chenzhu's expression remained unchanged, "If I say it's for my sister, would you believe me?"

"Naturally I don't believe it."

From a long time ago, he knew that he and He Chenzhu were on the same side.

They are all the best among their peers, and they are also good at calculating and planning. In order to achieve their goals, they will spare no effort to work every step of the way until things happen.

They will not do useless work, and every move they make has a purpose.

He Chenzhu curved her red lips and said, "Although you are a member of the Tiansi Pan and I am a member of the Queen, but Mr. Gu, as the saying goes, we arrive at the same destination through different paths, maybe your wishes and beliefs are actually the same?"

After she finished speaking, she stopped talking and only looked at the distant sky calmly.

Gu Tingzhou gripped the handle of the lantern tightly.

The same wish and belief...

Could it be that what He Chenzhu wants is also...

He looked at He Chenzhu again, this woman seemed to be different from the queen's confidant he imagined.

The wooden boat slowly docked.

The Jiang family's pursuers did not keep up, and the Gu family's carriage was already waiting here to take everyone to the Mantou Cave.

He Chenzhu and Yuan Chengbi had no intention of going together, and said goodbye to He Yao and the others by the river.

The carriage was moving very fast.

We finally arrived at the shore of the lake. It was rare that there was no thick fog on the lake tonight. The stars and moon in the second half of the night were dim. In the distance, we could see the prosperous and brightly lit island in the center of the lake.

He Yao and others had just gotten off the carriage when they suddenly heard a casual chuckle.

The boy in straw sandals slowly jumped down from the persimmon tree.

Wearing a white fox mask and hanging a wine gourd around his waist, he is Yuan Wan.

Yuan Wang folded his arms and leaned lazily on the tree trunk. When he smiled, he was mischievous and rogue, "I planted this tree and opened this road. If you want to go this way, leave the money to buy the road."

"You little thief from Liangzhou!" He Yao gritted his teeth, "You're here again!"

"I'm walking sideways in the north, and I'm also walking sideways in Luojing. If you can come, why can't I come?" Yuan Huan raised his eyebrows, "Hand over Jiang Li, and I will let you go to the Mantou Cave. Otherwise, I will let you go to the Mantou Cave. ...As far as I know, Jiang Yinong seems to be chasing you?"

His voice was filled with laughter, and he shook the Cloud Piercer Arrow in his hand threateningly.

He Yao knew that once the cloud-piercing arrow was released, Jiang Yinong's people would definitely notice the movement here.

Then it would be extremely difficult for them to secretly go to the Mantou Cave.

She ground her small white teeth, "You—"

"Jade flute!"

Jiang Li suddenly cried miserably.

Everyone turned their heads, and Jiang Yudi, who was held in Jiang Li's arms, was as pale as gold paper, her breathing was extremely weak, and her chest was almost invisible.

Jiang Li burst into tears, she rubbed Jiang Yudi's cold hands desperately, trying to find some body temperature for her, "Don't fall asleep, we haven't met Auntie yet, and we haven't opened a small restaurant in the downtown area yet , we haven't invited our benefactor to dinner yet, so don't fall asleep..."

She begged, but the person in her arms didn't respond at all.

Huo Xiaoqi was very sad, "It's too late..."

Even without the obstruction of the Liangzhou thieves, it would take an unknown amount of time to take a boat from here to the Mantou Cave and find Mrs. Jiang. Jiang Yudi would not be able to survive that time.

He Yao suddenly stared at Yuan Wan.

Yuan Huan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously took half a step back, "What do you think I am doing? Although I am a thief, I still have principles. I did not kill her..."
