Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

"Actually," Pinger carefully looked back outside, then lowered his voice and said to me, "In fact, there are private boats that can cross the river."

"Private ship?"

"Yes, it's the people in the black market here for delivery."

"Oh……"

I raised my eyebrows.

It is forgotten that people will always try their best to make a profit. Under such a situation of traffic congestion, people will naturally take risks for the sake of profit, and the more severe the risks, the more profitable they are. Ships on the Yangtze River are blocked, but if private ships can communicate with each other back and forth, there will be high returns.

but--

I thought about it and looked at Ping'er and said, "How can I get on a private boat?"

Ping'er's face faded, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I need silver. I can only be a person if I have twelve silver."

"Twelve silver?"

When I heard it, I could not help frowning.

Although it is known that those private ships transport people and goods for profit, it would be too much for a person to have twelve dollars. For an ordinary family, twelve dollars may be a full year of income.

Ping'er nodded, and said a little frustrated, "We don't have that much money at all."

"..."

As he said, he looked up at me, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

I also know what he meant, he hoped that I would have so much money on me, but my heart was only more embarrassed than him. I left the capital city and was taken away from the prison by the light cold. No penny. Fortunately, Alan took care of them on the way. I was not short of food and clothing. I was not worried about money. This question is before us.

After looking at my face for a while, Ping'er also understood: "You have no money?"

"……Ok."

"Hey……"

He sighed deeply. I didn't speak, but just bit my lower lip firmly.

I have never worried about money in these years, and it is also because in the palace, there is no such thing as using money, but as soon as it comes to the people, these difficulties that are not in the eyes of the Tianjia and noble officials are real. It's in front of me.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything needs to be paid to be rewarded.

Perhaps, until this time, I really didn't have the consciousness that I had been out of the house and had left the man's control.

But when I thought I had left him, although there was still a river across the Yangtze River, it was not that difficult, and at this time I also remembered what Alan told me after sending me out of the city-they were sending me to Yangzhou. And if I were to cross the river, they would do it, but they would go back to Qinghan to get money.

I didn't expect that one day, my relationship with him would fall into such a simple connection.

Gritting his teeth, I looked up and said to Ping'er, "Can you do me a favor?"

"What's busy?"

"Help me find someone. Maybe she can help me cross the river."

As soon as Ping'er heard that he could cross the river, he was immediately excited: "Really? Who are you looking for?"

I said seriously: "I also want to tell you the truth, I just looked like that, but I was poisoned. Now I'm very uncomfortable-don't be afraid, listen to me. Someone can cure my poison, and she still You can take me across the river, but now I'm separated from her. I know she will come to me in Yangzhou, so I want you to take me out and try my luck. "

As soon as Ping'er heard that I was poisoned, the whole person panicked. When he heard that, his face was a little pale: "You, are you poisoned? Are you going to die?"

I smiled, although my pale lips made my smile very weak: "I'm still alive now. As long as I find her, I can live longer."

.

After resting in the room for a while, Ping'er found a scarf that I usually do n’t use. I wrapped it around my head carefully, covered most of my face, and exposed only a pair of eyes. This helped me to go out carefully door.

The city of Yangzhou is not big, but it is not small either. As soon as I went out looking at the bustling crowd, I lost my consciousness for a while, and I watched as people shuttled in and out, still supporting me, and carefully I asked, "Where are we going?"

"..."

After a long silence, I whispered, "Walk around."

"Um." The child was also attentive, helped me slowly walk along the long street, and asked, "What do you say that person looks like? I can also help you see."

"Her name is Alan. She is a pretty woman in her thirties-in the words of others, she is as pretty as a fox."

"Uh--"

"But she is a good person."

"Oh."

I turned my head and looked at Ping'er's young face and simple eyes: "When you hear about foxes, you don't feel good, do you?"

He yelled, "Listen to my mother-in-law, vixen is a bad woman. Although beautiful, but-"

"So, have foxes hurt those people, or have they hurt you?"

"That's not true."

I said with a smile: "You are still young, but you should also have a degree of seeing people and doing things. Don't just blind people, that's just an answer."

Ping'er turned to look at me, and said dullly, "No one has ever told me this ..."

I was a little stunned, not knowing why I suddenly said this to him. Perhaps it was because I saw the shadow of a person's past from him, and those years that seemed to come back from dreaming, and I hope that he can be like that person and take a good road.

just……

I smiled: "I talk casually."

After speaking, he paused and walked down slowly, but Pinger was silent for a while, then turned to look at me again: "Why do I think you don't seem to be an ordinary person. You--"

He didn't finish his words, and suddenly heard a chaotic voice behind him.

Before I had time to turn around, there was a rush of horseshoes in the streets behind. Several people screamed in succession. Ping'er was clever. When he looked back wrong, he grabbed me and stepped back. My feet were soft and almost fell, or he was holding me hard, and saw a group of people running across from behind me.

I was still a bit lost. At this time, I looked up and barely saw a group of soldiers running on horses. People here came and went, and they didn't stop. They almost overturned the stall on the side of the road.

Ping'er grumbled and said, "I don't know what's urgent."

I barely stood upright, and he cared and said, "Are you okay? Did I hit you?"

"It's okay." I shook my head and glanced back at the puffs of smoke raised by the horse team. People have already gone. I looked back at Ping'er, and heard him mutter, "I come here every day Can many people let us through? "

I heard this wrong: "Pinger, who are those people?"

Ping'er said: "They? They are soldiers on the south bank."

"what?"

"These are the people on the south bank of the river. But usually they rarely cross the river, but recently, there have been several warships docking, and we have seen many soldiers and horses coming by."

"Soldier on the South Bank?"

I was taken aback, and turned to look subconsciously again. Those people walked very fast and disappeared at the end of the long street, and then I looked up there and saw only those simmering in the winter fog— — North City Gate.

Now when I see the towering city wall, I ca n’t help but have some emotions. I used to dream about the gate, but looking at the towering gate now makes me feel strange.

The defiant forces on the South Bank are actually increasing their troops to Yangzhou. It can be said that they are increasing their troops, but it does not look like they are going to do something with them. So what are they going to do?

I went back and asked Ping'er: "You said they often have a lot of soldiers and horses crossing the river recently, what on earth are they doing?"

Ping'er shook his head: "I don't know, and I didn't see what they did. It's just that those people are outside the city. It looks like they're looking for someone."

"Find someone?"

I could not help frowning.

Somehow, the strange feeling in my heart even worse.

.

The next time, Ping'er took me back and forth on a few streets. There was no news of Alan. Seeing that it was getting late, and my body was getting weaker, he helped me back. I got home and promised to accompany me out the next day.

But the next day, I could not go out.

Qixi took the second girl just a little while out, and I vomited again. This time it was worse than yesterday. Not only did I vomit empty stomachs, but the person's eyes fainted as soon as it became dark. Even in a coma, the internal organs The uncomfortable feeling of being crushed is still tormenting me.

I don't know when I opened my eyes, and saw Ping'er anxiously staying beside the bed. As soon as I saw my eyes opened, I rushed to surprise: "Are you awake?"

"..." I opened my mouth and felt my throat burn terribly, and I couldn't speak.

He hurried to bring me warm water and drank some. My talent was better, and he said weakly, "What happened to me?"

"You faint. It's scary."

"..."

"You, you don't, are you going to die?"

This child really has no taboos.

I listened to a bitter smile and looked up at him, but also understood the fear in his heart. He was still young, and he had saved a strange ugly woman at home. He had been very careful. In case I really died, his dream of crossing the river would be broken, and maybe he would even provoke them to this already weak family. trouble.

I lowered my head and twisted my fingers, and laughed, "It's not time yet."

"what?"

"Don't be afraid before I die."

When Alan gave me the poison, she made it clear that she would be killed if she hadn't detoxified one month later, and now it's less than half a month since she was separated from her.

It's not when I'm desperate.

Thinking about it this way, a surge of strength came to my heart. I handed him the bowl of water. I struggled and got up. Pinger put the bowl and hurried down to help me. I said, "You have to go out like this what."

"I need to find that woman to survive."

"But-you're too weak, I'm afraid you can't get away. You're still at home, wait for me to help you find her."

Seeing his anxious and concerned look, I smiled, but just thought, or shook my head and refused: "No need."

"you--"

"I can still do it now, and I need to work hard with every effort." I said, while holding his arm slowly turned over to get out of bed, the feet were as soft as the surface of the water, without biting the teeth at all I couldn't stand up. I sat on the edge of the bed, I accumulated a long time of strength, and finally stood up slowly: "When I really can't stand up, I will all rely on you."

Ping'er looked at my pale face and resolute eyes, and was a little shocked. After a few moments of silence, he nodded: "Okay, I'll take you out. But you must promise me, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me, I'll send you back. Don't get into trouble. "

I smiled: "Well."

After speaking, he followed him and went out.

In the end, Yangzhou is the land of fish and rice, and the climate is warm. At this time, the north must be a strong wind and heavy snow, but it is only a little cool here, and it really does not make me harder. The street is still full of bustling crowds, just ——Maybe it ’s really because the poisoning is getting deeper and deeper. When I look at those people, I have only blurred shadows, and all the noisy sounds seem to spread to my ears.

I am like a stranger in another world.

The only thing that connects me to this world is to leave, no matter how difficult or difficult it is, I have to live and find her!

Thinking of this, I grasped Ping'er's arm vigorously, moving forward step by step, struggling to watch everyone passing by.

Unfamiliar faces.

The next one is still strange.

They are all strangers, not Alan ...

The more I go on, the more I feel uncomfortable. The cold sweat drops from my forehead like the tide-Yangzhou is not big, but not small. If I go on like this, what will I do to find Alan?

What if I hadn't found her yet and I was poisoned?

I have to hurry up and find a way to find her!

At this time, I just saw a word-writing booth on the side of the road. An old man with a goatee was sitting there. He wasn't in a hurry without a business. He just drank something with a brush and dipped in ink.

There was a flash of light in my mind--

By the way, I can write something and paste it on the walls. Alan said before that she would come to me in the advanced city. She should be in Yangzhou city now. As long as she can see it, she can do it. Come to me, it's much easier than when I took Ping'er to the street to find her!

Thinking of this, I hurriedly grabbed Ping'er's hand, and just wanted to ask him to borrow some pens and pens for me, but turned around, but saw that Ping'er was looking at him on the other side of the street.

I looked at it subconsciously, and found a group of people facing a wall, as if looking at something.

I asked, "Pinger, what are they looking at?"

Ping'er said: "I don't know. I just saw that someone from the government posted a picture on the wall and wanted someone."
