There was no desire in the man's eyes for her thanks.

"No need, it's a small effort, but now is not the time. The more it is at night, the more guards there are in the castle. You need to wait until tomorrow afternoon."

Huangfu Liyue nodded.

"Well, no problem."

But the next moment, she was in trouble again.

She has no place to take a break, and if she stays here, she is not guaranteed to be discovered by patrolling soldiers.

The man saw her concerns and said, "If you don't mind, you can go to where I live."

Having said that, he looked at her dress, bowed his head in embarrassment, and added: "However, you may not be used to living in my place."

Huangfu Liyue understood what she meant.

He is dressed like this, and his residence must not be any better.

"It's nothing to be used to, I'm already very grateful that you can take me in."

Seeing her say this, the man's eyes became more confident, and he said directly: "Come with me."

Then, she followed behind the man and walked deeper into the road.

The further she went, the more curious she became.

Why are there patrolling soldiers everywhere in the castle, but not here?

But, how could there be a man dressed like this in the castle?

A few minutes later.

The man took her to a residence.

There was a lock hanging on the door of the residence. The man walked to the base of the wall, and skillfully opened a piece of the wall, and a large hole appeared at the base of the wall.

"Just go in from here."

Huangfu Liyue was stunned for a moment, and then got in.

The man followed her in and sealed the wall again.

This wall is already cracked, so after it is sealed, there is no clue.

After Huangfu Liyue entered, he quickly looked around.

Here, if it sounds good, it is a residence, and if it sounds bad, it is actually a dilapidated yard.

The yard is not large, and you can see the entire outline at a glance.

There were no furnishings in the courtyard. In the empty courtyard, there were only a few old quilts on the ground.

There were three people sitting on the quilt.

Three young men.

When the three of them saw Huangfu Liyue's arrival, they all showed vigilant eyes.

The man who led Huangfu Liyue to them immediately said to them, "Don't be nervous, I brought her asylum."

The three people let go of their guard and continued to clean up the quilts on the ground, apparently preparing to rest.

The man who led Huangfu Liyue over pointed to an old quilt in the corner of the yard.

"That's my place, you can stay here tonight."

Huangfu Liyue looked around.

In this whole yard, each of them has only one quilt.

"I'm resting at your place, what about you?"

The man smiled.

"I'm fine, I'm in good health, and I'm anti-freeze."

Looking at his thin body, Huangfu Liyue refused: "I'm not sleepy, you can sleep."

After speaking, she found a corner and sat down.

The man didn't say much, returned to his position, and lay down wrapped in a quilt.

He is injured now and needs a good rest.

The weather in country E is different from Jiangcheng, and the night is particularly cold.

Huangfu Liyue sat on the cold ground in the courtyard and shivered a few times.

"Ah!"

She covered her mouth and couldn't help sneezing.

This sneeze also woke up several people who were sleeping.

The four men looked up at her at the same time.

She quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional, you go to sleep, I won't make any more noises."

Several men looked at each other.

Then, a man who was closer to her got up directly, threw the quilt on his body at her feet, turned around and went to the base of the wall, broke open the wall and got out.

Huangfu Liyue looked at the old quilt at her feet and was about to call out the man, but he had already left.

She reached out and touched the thin bedding and felt the kindness of these strangers.

The man who had brought her here before also came to her with the quilt and gave her the quilt generously.

"Don't be brave."

Huangfu Liyue smiled ashamed, got up and said, "I really don't need it. I've already troubled you all here. I'll go and call back the person who gave me the quilt just now."

The man stopped: "Don't go, you can't find him, you don't have to feel embarrassed, we four big men, we can't let a woman freeze by the side."

His stature was thin, but his words gave people a sense of tallness.

"thanks."

Huangfu Liyue was not a hypocritical person either, she sat down directly and covered her body with the quilt.

She looked up at the enthusiastic man and asked, "By the way, I don't know your name yet."

The man blurted out: "My name is Ji...you can just call me Xihe."

"Hee He?"

"Ok."

After the man nodded lightly, he took the quilt and went to sleep.

Huangfu Liyue looked around at the dilapidated yard, wondering where this place was.

These people don't look like prisoners, but they seem to be treated worse than prisoners.

The prisoner still had a shelter from the wind and rain, but the yard even had cracks on the walls and several large holes in the roof.

Several of the men here are not very old and seem to be the same age as her.

What did they do wrong to be locked up here?

Thinking of these, she gradually fell asleep.

early morning.

The queen received news that Huangfu Liyue had escaped.

The soldiers and maids guarding Huangfu Liyue fell to their knees, tremblingly waiting for the Queen's punishment.

Looking at the soldiers kneeling in front of her, the queen said leisurely, "How did you escape?"

"Yes, escaped from the window..."

The queen narrowed her eyes and couldn't believe it: "That's the fifth floor."

The maid lay on the ground and replied tremblingly, "Yes, she used the bed sheet and quilt to jump off."

The queen obviously didn't want to hear these details, so she directly ordered: "Block the castle's exit, search the entire castle, and be sure to find her. If you can't find her, don't take your life!"

Soldiers and maids kowtowed.

"Yes! Queen!"

The Queen's eyes became colder.

At such a critical time, Huangfu Liyue actually escaped, and her plan was interrupted.

Just in case, she had to let Shao Qinglian speed up the process.

the other side.

As soon as Mu Jingchen opened his eyes, he saw Shao Qinglian sitting beside the bed, looking at him ambiguous.

"woke up."

She was very shameless: "Should we perform the queen's task?"

Mu Jingchen sat up and got out of bed neatly.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"The Queen has drawn up an edict for me. As long as I give birth to an heir, she will give me the title my heir mother deserves, and let me live in the castle and enjoy everything I deserve."

"Do you believe it?"

"Believe, why don't you believe it?"

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Mu Jingchen didn't say much.

"Since you have decided, I have nothing to say, but now I have no interest."

After he finished speaking, he picked up his jacket and went out the door.

Shao Qinglian stood there, her eyes gloomy.

She could see that Mu Jingchen didn't want to have anything to do with her.

But she would never miss such a good opportunity.
