Chapter 15

Her eyes lit up all of a sudden, she raised her head and asked, "Really?"

"nature."

She was overjoyed, but couldn't believe it, and asked: "What can you do?"

He spread his hands, "I don't know yet."

Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything, she pouted, "Are you lying to me?"

Apparently her doubts aroused his displeasure.Yeluyan said with a cold face: "If you don't believe me, just look for an opportunity to run away, and see if you can escape. Next time you go to the latrine, I will go with you, do you believe it?"

"You," she glared at him in embarrassment.

"What I said is true. If you don't believe me, try it." He had a serious expression on his face, and he didn't mean to be joking at all.

"Then, what if you don't count your words?"

"No one has ever questioned the credibility of Yeluyan, the king of Zhaoyang." He snorted at her dissatisfied: "You are the first."

"It's a great honor." She wrinkled her nose, looking very cute and playful.With his promise, she finally felt much more at ease.He doesn't seem so heartless to himself.

I have been on the road all night, and the night is dark and there is no intention of stopping. Murong Xue was secretly feeling strange, and suddenly heard Yuan Chenglie's voice outside: "My lord, we have arrived at the post."

Yeluyan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally caught up with Xiu Nu who was one step ahead.Everything was exactly as he planned, taking advantage of the darkness, he integrated Murong Xue into those show girls, and quietly covered up her escape against the order.As long as these women are delivered safely all the way to the capital, everything will be fine. As for the one who caused the most headache, he rubbed his brows, hoping that she would stop making trouble along the way.

The carriage stopped at the post station, and the post chief led people to welcome him out.

Yeluyan got out of the carriage first, turned around and raised the curtain.

The moment Murong Xue got off the car, she suddenly flung herself into Yeluyan's arms.This time it was really not intentional, it was because her legs were numb.

Yeluyan quickly supported her: "What's wrong?"

"My legs are numb." She rubbed her legs, and she didn't know if her eyes were dazzled, but she actually saw a trace of pity in his eyes.But then, he indifferently let go of the hand that was holding her, and said coldly, "Just stand there for a while."

Compared with the already numb heart that was hit, the numbness in the legs is nothing to mention.

The postmaster said respectfully: "My lord, the food is ready."

Yeluyan nodded, led Murongxue to dinner, and sent her to a living room behind the station.Before I went in, I heard chattering voices from inside.

Standing under the eaves, Yeluyan said solemnly, "If anyone asks, just say that you have been ill for the past two days, so you came two days late."

"Yes, I know."

When Murong Xue entered the room, the three women inside all looked up at her.

"Sister Murong." Qin Mingyue got up and took her hand, and asked with concern, "Why weren't you here two days ago?"

Murong Xue squeezed out a smile, and said what Yeluyan explained.She hasn't been able to eat well or sleep well these past few days, and she's exhausted a lot of physical energy. She does look thinner, but she really looks sick. Qin Mingyue has no doubts about him, so she quickly pulls her to sit down, and then points to the room. The other two girls said: "This is Gu Qiubo, and this is Xie Qiuju."

Murong Xue greeted the two women in a dejected manner.

Qin Mingyue was very excited to see her former acquaintance. "Do you know that the princess Zhao who gave birth to the princess in the palace named Concubine Shu is really the pride of Yi County."

Murong Xue hummed lightly, showing no interest at all.

Qin Mingyue leaned next to her ear and whispered again: "My uncle said that if any woman who enters the palace this time can give birth to a prince, the emperor might make her a queen."

Murong Xue was even more unimpressed, and didn't even bother to say yes.

Qin Mingyue originally thought that Murong Xuesheng's beautiful appearance would definitely be favored when she entered the palace, so she established relationships in advance and helped each other in the palace in the future, but she looked lazy and didn't want to talk much.

Different ways and not conspiring with each other, Qin Mingyue resentfully went to talk with the other two girls.

Xie Qiuju was originally from a farming household. She moved to the city last year to start a small business. She has never seen much of the world, and her worries and fears about the future are clearly written on her face.Gu Qiubo's father was a businessman in Yangzhou. His family was wealthy and he had seen the world. This time she was selected as a show girl. The family thought it was a great opportunity to honor their ancestors and placed high hopes on her.Although Xie Qiuju has little knowledge, she is also very concerned about her fate after entering the palace. She listened to the conversation between the two and carefully inquired from time to time.

The three girls gathered together and murmured and talked vigorously, but Murong Xue was the only one who was far away from the sky.Just now she saw dozens of guards at the gate of the post station, and there were also guards patrolling the backyard at night.It is estimated that this will be the case.She may never have the chance to escape again.There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain. It is wiser for her to recharge her energy and look for opportunities.

The postman brought hot water, but Murong Xue didn't care, and after washing, he lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.She was really tired these days, exhausted physically and mentally.

The next morning, he was called up, had breakfast at the post station, and started on the road.Because this trip was on an imperial mission, the fifty guards brought by Yeluyan to Yi County were all elites of the Imperial Forest Army, and they all rode tall horses.

Yuan Chenglie and Zhang Yuan rode horses to guard Yeluyan's carriage.The twelve girls were divided into three carriages, followed closely behind, and each was escorted by guards.A group of people marched mightily towards the capital.With so many people, there is no need to even think about escaping.Coupled with Yeluyan's words, Murong Xue temporarily let go of this idea, intending to take care of her body and strength, and then think of a solution when she arrives in the capital.

Soon at noon, the convoy stopped for a break.

The girls who had been bogged and bumped in the carriage for a long time took this opportunity to get down and move their hands and feet.

Yuan Chenglie looked carefully, and only three girls got out of the second carriage, and Murong Xue was nowhere to be seen. After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Miss Murong."

It was quiet inside, Yuan Chenglie opened the car curtain and looked inside, Murong Xue was sleeping soundly, looking like a little baby.His heart softened in an instant, and he said softly: "Miss Murong, come down to eat."

Murong Xue blinked her long eyelashes, opened her eyes in a daze, and saw that she was the only one left in the carriage.

She rubbed her eyes and jumped out of the carriage.

Subconsciously, Yuan Chenglie wanted to reach out to help her, but when he thought of her current identity, he withdrew his outstretched hand abruptly.

Murong Xue saw at a glance that the girls who were traveling with her were all sitting under the willow tree, each holding a dry food pancake in their hands and eating, did she really think this was a dream?It's unbelievable, aren't these girls future empresses?Could it be that he lived such a hard life all the way to Beijing?OMG, is this the royal treatment?too terrifying.

Just astonished, Yuan Chenglie personally fetched dry food and water for her, and made a special trip to send them to her.

Murong Xue blinked: "Young Master Yuan, I can't eat dry food cakes, don't you have rice and fried vegetables at noon?"

As soon as this remark came out, the girls eating pancakes all looked up at her.

A few whispers reached her ears.

"Who is she?"

"Miss Huichun Medical Center, the family is rich."

"The prince is much more delicate than her, and he still eats dry food."

When Murong Xue heard these words, she couldn't help but look at Yeluyan who was sitting not far away.He also had a piece of dry grain cake in his hand, but there was a handful of purple sand pots and an amphora on the stool under his knees.

She had no choice but to take the dry food and start eating.She is usually a vegetarian who is not tired of fine food and fine food. She couldn't swallow this kind of coarse dry food at all.

People who practice martial arts have exceptionally good hearing. Just now, Yeluyan heard her complaint clearly, and he was angry and funny. He really is a pampered person who has never traveled far. It's good to have dry food, but I still think about cooking with rice...

After lunch, I started on my way, and I didn't arrive at a post until it was dark.Murong Xue has never traveled far and is a born road idiot. She doesn't know anything about geography, and she doesn't know where this place is. Seeing the scale of this post station, she guessed that she must have arrived in Suzhou Prefecture?

Sure enough.

The postmaster led the postmen respectfully to welcome King Zhaoyang into the station, and immediately arranged meals.

Murong Xue only ate half of the dry food pancakes at noon, and she was already so hungry that her chest was on her back, and she was very excited to see the hot food and rice.Moreover, the post station in Suzhou Mansion was obviously richer and richer, and it was completely different from the small post station last night. The taste of the food was very suitable for her taste, and she ate two full bowls of rice in one sitting.What's even more exciting is that a hot bath is also arranged after the meal.

Murong Xue washed herself thoroughly, went to the yard to pick a few roses, squeezed out the juice and wiped the ends of her hair, only then did she feel that life is not too miserable.

Yeluyan came out of the inner courtyard, slightly startled, she had just bathed, standing under a clump of roses, like a fairy, or a flower demon.

She whispered to the rose flower, although her voice was extremely low and soft, but he was heard clearly by him with excellent hearing.

"I ask Yue Lao to bless me and let me marry the person I like. I don't want to marry that old man. There are countless red threads on his ankles, and this one is not bad for me. Yue Lao, do you think..."

He was a little amused, walked behind her with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said: "Yue Lao is also an old man, you offended him by saying that."

She was startled, turned her head and gave him a look, and turned to leave.

"Your father is here today."

Murong Xue immediately stopped in her tracks and asked excitedly, "What about him?"

"Of course they were sent away."

Murong Lin was acquainted with the prefect of Suzhou, so he begged the magistrate to come to the inn to meet his daughter, but it was Yeluyan who he met.

She bit her lip, turned around and left without speaking.

"The king finally thought of an idea."

She had no choice but to stop again, "What idea?"

"When you get to the capital, you will know."

This kind of teasing tone is really irritating, but there is nothing he can do about it.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will be ill."

"What do you mean?"

"You have a carriage and a room alone, so as not to infect others."

She asked pleasantly: "You mean, sick show girls can't run?"

A smile curled up on the corner of his lips, "Unfortunately, you were solemnly recommended by Concubine Shu, and the emperor also made an emphatic explanation, so you have to see people and dead bodies."

She puffed up her mouth angrily, "Then what do you mean by doing that?"

"Make a foreshadowing first, idiot." After he finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for her to jump.

She blushed with anger, she was obviously smart and versatile, yet he called her an idiot!
Sure enough, from the next day, she became "ill" and was arranged by Yeluyan in a separate carriage, away from Xiunu.She was a little puzzled about his intentions, and as a result, a bad idea came to her mind.Could it be that he was playing tricks in order to stabilize himself and prevent himself from escaping again?

Passing a lotus pond, the carriage stopped to rest.Yeluyan was drinking water under the tree when he suddenly heard a miserable cry of help from the last carriage.

It was Murong Xue, who almost choked him with a sip of water, he stepped forward quickly, and opened the curtain of the car.
