concubines

Chapter 184
After walking for so long, Miao Li couldn't move anymore.Her period of time was vain, and she really couldn't bear to walk for such a long time.

Miao Li couldn't keep up with their pace and stopped to catch her breath.For the bearers at the back, it was a good walk, but suddenly a woman came out, not to mention how scary this wilderness is.

"Oh my god! Female ghost!" The bearer behind threw the sedan chair and ran away.

Half of the sedan chair fell to the ground, and of course the one in front couldn't be lifted either.The people who followed were also surprised, but they were more courageous and came to illuminate Miaoli with a lantern.There are shadows on the ground, not ghosts.

The man pointed at her and asked with a trembling voice, "This... girl... Where are you from?"

Miao Li stepped back a little, covered her face and said: "I am the doctor invited by your master, waiting for you at the gate of the city, didn't your master tell you?"

The man shook his head and muttered to himself, "Didn't the master say that my aunt was hopeless? Why did you hire another doctor?"

When Miao Li heard his words, she reacted quickly and made up a nonsense, "Your master actually still misses my aunt, but he was afraid that Madam would not dare to treat her in the mansion, so I let me treat her outside the house." .”

This is almost the case in the back house, and Miao Li is betting that she can guess correctly.

She guessed very well, the man seemed to really believe it, and asked again, "Really?"

Miao Li said very seriously: "What did I lie to you for? Your aunt is suffering from tuberculosis. If it wasn't for the two taels of silver for the consultation fee, I wouldn't have come so late!"

Miao Li spoke seriously, and this person is also a heartless person, so he actually believed what Miao Li said.

"Then you wait, I will take a good look at my aunt when I get to Baiyun Nunnery." Then he cursed and said to another bearer: "The grandson doesn't know where he went, look for him!"

Miaoli waited for them to come back by guarding the sedan chair, thinking that the first time she came out, it was also such a night when she lived in a ruined temple and met Lu Guangbai who was studying in the middle of the night.

Thinking about it, her eyes were a little sour. She hadn't seen them for a long time.I am now helpless.It is definitely impossible to go back to the capital, maybe you can go back to find them.Except for Zhou Shuxuan, only Zhaoyunshan made her feel at ease, and now only Zhaoyunshan is left.

Miao Li waited for a long time, but the two people who went looking for her did not come back.Slowly, the sky is getting brighter, but the person still hasn't come back, and probably won't come back.

Miao Li looked around, but there was no one.She met a good person last time, but this time she will not be so lucky.Those two people must have gone out to find someone, and they didn't even care about the people in the sedan chair with her.

This is also a common thing. If the tuberculosis infection is delayed to the point where it cannot be cured, the last thing to do is to give up.

Now that it was dawn, Miao Li was bold enough to cover her mouth and nose and lift the car curtain to see how the patient was doing, maybe she could be saved.As soon as I opened it, I realized that I had died a long time ago, and spots had already appeared on my face.Suddenly, Miao Li's back felt cold, and she actually spent the night guarding the dead body.

Putting down the car curtain, Miao Li backed out with a pale face.

There was nothing she could do if she encountered a dead body on the road.

The most important thing now is to leave. If someone from the government finds out, she doesn't want to get involved in a life lawsuit.

But now she doesn't know where is where, so she can only go down the official road.There was no one on the road, and it became more and more shady as we walked.Miao Li was sweating all over, afraid of meeting robbers and robbers, she was a weak woman, she couldn't do anything even if she met a man with evil intentions.

After walking a few more steps, Miao Li was exhausted and rested her feet under a big tree.Up to now, she has never eaten a grain of water rice, and even with the silver in her pocket, she has no place to buy it.If she is not exhausted, she will starve to death.

After sitting for a while, the more I rested, the more tired I felt.Forget it, and heard the sound of horseshoes from the other side of the road, Miao Li was debating whether to hide or ask someone for help, thinking that the horse had come close, and the person on the horse didn't seem to see her, whoosh It passed away with a single sound.

Fortunately, although there was no successful request for help, at least there was no danger.

Miao Li stood up and walked forward, she wanted to find a place with people as soon as possible.After walking a few steps forward, the sound of horseshoes came back again.Seeming to be chasing her, Miao Li couldn't help speeding up her pace.But even if she ran, she couldn't run as fast as a horse, and she was soon overtaken.

When he got close, the man reined in and tentatively called out to her back, "Sister."

Miao Li froze, she seemed to have heard this voice before.Turning around slowly, she had seen this person before, he was the son of Duke Ding, and she didn't remember the ranking.

"It's really you, I thought I was wrong." Qu Xingeng saw her looking at himself with strange eyes, and quickly said: "I am your sixth brother."

Miaoli looked at him, and it was true, she called softly, "Sixth brother."

Qu Xingeng jumped off the horse and said, "Why are you here alone." He suddenly remembered something, didn't she disappear?At that time, Duke Ding and his wife cried for a long time.None of them dared to go to the house to express their condolences, thinking that she had not escaped the curse.But now she is here perfectly.

Miao Li wanted to explain why she was here, but she didn't know where to start.Qu Xingeng saw her embarrassment.I also had a rough guess in my heart, no matter what it was, there must be something wrong with her relationship with the prince.

"Don't say it if you don't want to. It's just that it's not safe for you to be outside alone now. What if you meet a bad person?"

Only to die.

Every time Miao Li thinks she is going to die, things will turn around. It seems that God is still very kind to her.

Miao Li smiled sweetly at him, "Fortunately, I met Brother Six."

This smile made Xin Geng helpless, he didn't want to ask anything, he just wanted to take her back and raise her well.

"Where are you going now?"

Miao Li said helplessly: "I don't know, I can't find my way by myself."

Qu Xingeng tentatively asked, "Do you want to go back to the capital?"

Miao Li shook her head without thinking.

Said not to ask the reason without asking the reason, Qu Xingeng said again: "There is a small village near here at home, do you want to live there for a few days?"

Miao Li thought for a while, she had nowhere to go, and her current body couldn't drive a long way outside.I just met him again, and it is impossible to refuse.So he said, "Can I?"

"There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you want to live, I can build you a few rooms now." Qu Xingeng helped her onto the horse, fearing that she would fall, so he led the rein and walked below, "It's not far , is near here."

Miaoli didn't speak, she was led away by him, walked back for a while, and met the sedan chair again, it was still the same as when she left, no one had moved it.

A large living person died in the wilderness, and there was no one to collect the body.This is for others to be a concubine, without the master's favor, it is a cheap life.

Isn't she an aunt for others? When the master didn't want to spoil her, he said she was dead and sent her away.

Thinking of this, it is embarrassing.

Qu Xingeng didn't notice the change in her mood, and kept talking by himself, "I didn't want to come out when my father asked me to come out to do errands, and he was so angry that he wanted to fight me. And in fact, I should have gone back yesterday, but The horse didn't go away yesterday, so I had to stay for another day, and I came back today. It turns out that these are all for meeting you, do you think it is fate?"

Miao Li responded with a smile, "Of course it's fate."

"When I go back and tell my parents, they will be very happy." Qu Xingeng looked very happy.

God knows how much their family wanted a little girl, they were going crazy.

Tell Ding Guogong that there is no problem, Miaoli is just afraid that Zhou Shuxuan will find out.In fact, there is no need to be afraid of him knowing, anyway, he doesn't want to exist anymore, but from some point of view, she still doesn't want Zhou Shuxuan to know.

"Sixth brother, can you tell your parents secretly, don't let the prince know."

Qu Xingeng looked up at her, wondering if she escaped.He still didn't ask questions about his doubts, and he agreed, "Of course, there's nothing wrong with it. You are a little girl of our family and have nothing to do with the prince."

What the prince said was that his concubine died, but he didn't say that his sister died.

Soon we arrived at Duke Dingguo's Zhuangzi. It was indeed not very big, just a courtyard with two entrances.But the view outside is very wide. Standing at the door of the house, you can still see the farmland, and it seems to be the village of a big family.

This reminds Miaoli of the time when she was a child learning crafts with her grandfather at her grandfather's house, as if she had returned to her carefree childhood.

Qu Xingeng helped her get off the horse, "How is it? If you are not satisfied, there are a few Zhuangzi at home in the suburbs of Beijing. You can choose again."

Miao Li shook her head and said, "I'm very satisfied, don't bother me any more."

"That's good." Qu Xingeng tied the horse outside, and then reached out to knock on the door. An old couple lived here with a young grandson to show them the house, and someone opened the door soon, "The sixth young master is here. Please come in quickly."

Qu Xingeng pointed to Miao Li and said, "This is the eldest lady, and she will be staying here for a while. Tell your brother Yun to come to the city and report to the Duke, and tell him to come to Zhuangzi as soon as possible."

Asking the Duke to come in person, Miao Li grabbed him and said, "Don't bother, just tell Dad."

"If he knew you were still here, he would definitely come over." Qu Xingeng reassured her and said, "It's okay, the old man is going to be idle all day, and he is still talking about you every day, so let him come and see him." Rest assured."

OK then.

Miao Li had also seen their battles before, and knew that he was not talking nonsense, so she instructed again: "Then you must be careful, and don't let the prince and princess know."

Qu Xingeng listened carefully to her words, and only told Duke Ding to be notified, and no one else was informed.After Duke Ding quietly visited with his wife, Miao Li persuaded him to go back.

After that, Miaoli stayed here for more than a month. Zhou Shuxuan was still looking for someone like crazy, and even wanted to leave the country's affairs behind and go out to find someone by himself.
