Chapter 17
She thought that a net had already been laid outside, but it turned out to be an empty night street with a cold wind blowing.

It was only half an hour, and the bustling Huajie just now was like a looted village, eerily quiet.

Long Xilan stepped out lightly, and Mo Gongyi's voice came from behind. "Jinhua!"

She looked back, thinking that what she said just now had an effect, and the other party didn't come to stop her.

Mo Gongyi held his own black raccoon fur cloak in his hand, and put it on for her with his own hands. "It's windy at night!"

She was speechless, but she didn't refuse. It was indeed quite cold outside, and the finger that was stretched out became numb after a while, but she still insisted on walking into the cold wind.

Mo Gongyi did not follow, but stared at her back melting into the night with deep eyes. Qiangwei, who came down with him, stood behind him humbly, and asked calmly, "Your Majesty, are you really assured that she will leave alone?"

He didn't answer. He stood at the door, staring at the dark night sky in a daze. After a long time, the carriage from the house came to pick him up.

Long Xilan ran wildly on the deserted street, and the surrounding was horribly quiet, but she could feel the undercurrent surging, and nothing unusual happened, but her heart was beating surprisingly fast , she slowed down her pace, and the night light elongated her shadow on the bluestone road.

Soon, there was something blocking the way in front of her, and her steps stopped completely!
A lone carriage was parked in front of it, and the hot air from the horse's nose spread out in the dim night light.

Long Xilan knew the horse and the meticulous groom, and her heart tightened. Those forces lurking in the dark were all dispatched by the owner of the carriage, and the chance of her breaking out with her bare hands was really slim.

The car door curtain was opened, but the light was too dim, and she could only see a faint figure inside.

The man said solemnly: "It's late at night, Miss Ji."

She let out a deep breath and declared: "I am not Ji Jinhua, I am not the second lady of the General's Mansion, I am..."

"You are the concubine of Prince Xu's Mansion!" Li Huai's voice was very soft, but full of penetrating power, which made Long Xilan stunned for a moment.

Immediately, she realized again, "I'm really not Ji Jinhua, my name is..."

The sound of horseshoes came from behind, covering her voice, she turned her head in panic, and saw Ji Jinjiang arriving with a group of cavalry guards.

She knew she couldn't escape.

"Jin Hua, I finally found you!" Ji Jinjiang got off his horse and came over with a nervous expression.

Long Xilan retreated to the back, and the opponent's big hand had already grabbed her wrist, full of strength, she frowned in pain, not to mention killing a bloody path, as long as she resisted, Ji Jinjiang would be knocked out with a punch After killing her, when the time comes to bring her back to the Ji Mansion, she still doesn't know how to abuse herself.

"What do you think you can change by speaking out?"

Ji Jinjiang warned her with a voice that only the two of them could hear, and she also gritted her teeth because of the pain in her wrist.

"Qiao Wanzhi in Jinxiu Hall, Yuningfang, Beijing!"

Long Xilan was startled, and looked up at the resolute face of the other party, which was her mother's name.

"What did you say?"

"You should believe that I am capable enough to make a person disappear in the capital without anyone noticing!"

Ji Jinjiang threatened her!But there is no doubt that this is Long Xilan's weakness. Although she is unwilling, she cannot personally send the mother she misses day and night to the point of no return.

"Get in the carriage!" Ji Jinjiang's expression changed instantly when a command-like voice came from the carriage parked in the distance.

Is it King Xu who wants Long Xilan to get in the car?where to go

"My lord, my sister has been found, please worry about me, it's getting late, my lord should go back to the mansion first to rest!"

Li Huai said: "There are so many things happening tonight, and the rumors are still going on, the king is still worried. It is better to let the people of the Wangfu army protect the safety of Jinhua!"

Ji Jinjiang also had concerns in his heart, and immediately shied away: "But, this is not in line with etiquette before the big wedding."

Li Huai had already made up his mind, and only said two words lightly.

"boarding!"

Ji Jinjiang looked over, let go of Long Xilan's hand, and warned softly: "For you, for that person, you should know what to do."

Long Xilan gave him a hard look, turned around, lowered her head, walked carefully to the carriage, and got on the carriage.

The carriage moved, and Xu Wang Li Huai, who was also sitting in the carriage, said lightly: "For that person, is it really worth it?"

She was shocked. Could it be that Li Huai also knew about her mother?
She didn't answer, but she was thinking in her heart, it's worth it, every night I dream of that kind face in my dreams, just to see her with my own eyes, and call her "mother", how can it not be worth it?

"But he never thought of really taking you away!" Li Huai turned his head to one side, and unconsciously stroked the jade pendant on his waist with his fingers.

It was only then that Long Xilan realized that the person the other party was talking about was not her mother, but Mo Gongyi.

King Xu must have thought that she jumped the moat to escape with Prince Xian's son, right?

It is also because this king has excellent temperament and endurance, and now he can say these words so elegantly, if it were someone else, he would have been furious!
And because of this, Long Xilan, who was sitting next to Li Huai, was even more anxious.

The carriage passed through several squares all the way, and finally arrived at the destination. When Long Xilan followed Li Huai out of the carriage, she saw a plaque hanging on the gate saying 'Pear Garden'. This is not Prince Xu's Mansion.

Under the red lantern at the gate, there stood a woman with a round face and a plump body, waiting for their arrival with a smile on her face.

"The lord is back!" The woman greeted her, and Li Huai smiled and nodded at her.

After the group entered the pear courtyard, Li Huai told the woman, "Ms. Chen, Miss Ji's life in the other courtyard, so please take care of me!"

Chen Niang looked at Long Xilan's clothes with kind eyebrows, and said softly, "Miss, please!"

The other party led her through the garden piled with rockery, and came to a quiet small courtyard, and introduced her along the way. This mansion is a separate courtyard of the Wangfu. Chen Niang is Li Huai's wet nurse.

No wonder, he felt relieved and handed over Long Xilan's living and living to this person.

"It's getting late, Miss must be very tired today, let's take a bath and change your clothes!" Chen Niang took her into the main room in the small courtyard. The inside has been packed, she needs to change clothes, and a bucket of hot water ready.

Originally, Chen Niang wanted to wait for her to take a bath. She had been raised as a man since she was a child, so she was not used to this kind of treatment. Fortunately, Chen Niang didn't talk too much, she took a few maids out, and before closing the door, she specially asked: " The old man is waiting outside the door, if you need anything, please call me!"

Long Xilan could only take off her clothes and enter the bathtub with the mentality of being at ease when she came. After soaking in the ice water in the moat and being dragged by the drowning ghost, she felt unwell for a long time, and she felt much better when she entered the hot water However, after soaking in hot water for too long, he soon lost consciousness in the bathtub!
In the blur, she felt a shadow approaching, and when she wanted to open her eyes to see, she felt a pair of big cold hands forcefully pressing her head into the water!
