"Quick, quick... Xiao Lizi, run away. My father knows your identity and they want to harm you!" In the small study, Cui Ning'er panted and found Li Chengqian who was reading.
Li Chengqian was shocked, but asked calmly: "Sister Ning'er, what happened? I am just an ordinary person who ran away from home."
Cui Ning'er rolled her eyes and said, "Humph, it's hard for you to hide it from us. It turns out that you are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian. Are you still pretending? No wonder you were dismissive when I took you to visit my house of secretaries."
"I'm still wondering, where in the world can I, the Cui family of Qinghe, have more books? It turns out that they are from the royal family, so it's not surprising."
"Stop talking nonsense, pack up quickly and follow me. If you are late, it will be too late."
Li Chengqian broke free from Cui Ning'er's hand: "Who did you listen to? Now that you know my identity, who else in the world dares to harm me?"
He couldn't believe the other party, because if it was the Cui family's head who wanted to harm him, then the girl in front of him might not be trustworthy. After all, she was the head's beloved daughter.
Who is Cui Ning'er? He was two years older than Li Chengqian and extremely smart. He reacted immediately and said aggrievedly: "You, you don't believe me? I've been so good to you these days, but you don't believe me?"
"I just went to find my father and accidentally overheard their secret conversation. They are from Luoyang. You are the one who escaped from Jinxiu Tower in Luoyang. Behind Jinxiu Tower are the Zheng family in Xingyang and the Lu family in Fanyang. They already know about you. His identity. He also said that once you return to Chang'an, everyone in Jinxiu Tower will die."
"So they forced my father to hand you over so they could harm you."
Li Chengqian's eyes grew colder and he asked with hatred in his tone: "Then what did your father say? Agree? Humph! The five surnames and Qi Wang are indeed not good people."
"No!" Cui Ning'er quickly explained: "Dad didn't agree. You are the prince, no one dares to harm you. We, the Cui family of Qinghe, don't dare to offend the royal family. Dad said he would send you away, but he would not tell anyone else, so They are looking for you based on their abilities, and whether you live or die depends on your fate. Although they are not helping each other, you can't blame dad, and we don't dare to offend the Zheng family and the Lu family. "
"Humph, what's the difference? In Qinghe County, people are watching me wherever I run." Li Chengqian had given up.
Cui Ning'er took Li Chengqian's hand and comforted: "That's why I came to you in a hurry. Before they started making arrangements, I took you out of the city secretly. Only with my escort can you get out. As long as you go far away , they won’t be able to find you. It will be safe when you return to Chang’an in the future.”
"You? Can I believe you? You are also a member of the Cui family!" Li Chengqian stared at Cui Ning'er with eyes like a young tiger.
The tip of Cui Ning'er's nose felt sour and she burst into tears. She looked at Li Chengqian's hand and shook it off in shame and anger, then turned around and ran away.
But he didn't even take two steps, and he still couldn't bear to come back.
He took out the handkerchief on his body, stuffed it into Li Chengqian's arms, and said resentfully: "It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. If you don't listen to me now, you will die. Come with me, and I will take you out of the city. If I am here to harm you, I will be dead." When you die and become a ghost, you can take me with you. Now you have no choice."
You... Li Chengqian stared blankly at the handkerchief in his arms.
Cui Ning'er scolded: "Go away, you fool. How can a prince like you be so stupid and become the emperor in the future?"
After saying that, he picked up Li Chengqian and left.
Although Li Chengqian was dissatisfied, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed that what they said was right. If Cui Ning'er really wanted to harm him, there was no need to go around like this. This was the Cui family's territory. They could just do whatever they wanted.
An hour later, a servant came to report, "Master, it's not good, the young lady quietly took the kitchen handyman Xiao Lizi out of the city. The servants are spreading rumors that it was Xiao Lizi who kidnapped the young lady and eloped with her."
What?
The head of the family, Cui Shouzhen, exclaimed. He didn't care about the rumors. What he should be worried about most at this time was the prince. Nothing should happen to him. At least nothing can happen on the Cui family's territory. Recently, many new faces have come to Qinghe County, and they must all be here for Li Chengqian.
Ning'er is too reckless. There are spies from the Zheng family and the Lu family outside. Will Li Chengqian still have a way to survive once he leaves the city?
Sure enough, not long after, the people from Jinxiu Tower came again, this time to ask questions, "Master Cui, you deceived us so hard. While promising us to release people, you quietly asked your daughter to escort people out of the city? Could it be that Qinghe Cui has hooked up with the royal family? Want to marry the royal family and win the title of queen in the future? If that's the case, then we won't reach for it."
"Wait a minute, I don't know the other person's identity, she just took him out for an outing. It's not what you suspected." Cui Shouzhen could only steady the other person.
But the man was furious: "What kind of outing? You clearly wanted to help that man escape on purpose. If it hadn't been for your concubine to disrupt the situation, we would have caught each other long ago. Her concubine left the city, secretly dropped the man off halfway, and then walked westward in a carriage. , our people were misled and finally lost track of that person. Haha, Master Cui made a good move."
What? So you didn't catch that guy?
Cui Shouzhen composed himself, then smiled and spread his hands: "Then there is nothing we can do. We have sent the people out of the city as agreed. You lost them and couldn't find them. It's your fault that we are not to blame. Everyone has something to say first. Whether he lives or dies, it doesn't matter. It depends on that person’s life. We, the Qinghe Cui clan, have no obligation to guarantee that you will find the person. Then we might as well give the person to you directly.”
"You..." The man was furious, but had nothing to say.
Cui Shouzhen snorted coldly: "This is Qinghe County. I don't want my little girl to get hurt in any way. If there is nothing else, please help me send my little girl back. Let's talk about the rest another day. Sending off guests!"
Yes, it's Cui's turn to be arrogant.
No one can come, this is the Cui family's territory, and they really don't dare to act wild. He could only retreat in despair. Not long after, Cui Ning'er was sent back safe and sound.
"Dad, you have to make the decision for your daughter. They, they are all robbers. They kidnapped me on our property... Wuwu..."
"Okay, okay, dad will arrange everything, go home, your mother is waiting."
In the back house, Mrs. Cui comforted her daughter, "Okay, Ning'er, stop pretending. Send the person away safely?"
Cui Ning'er said proudly: "That's right, my daughter is the future daughter of the Cui family, Zhuge, it's just a trivial matter. By the way, mom, dad won't blame me, right? Although we have a bad relationship with the royal family, Xiao Lizi is only eleven years old, and we are What does it matter to him? They are not good people bullying a child like this."
Mrs. Cui looked at her daughter and said with a half-smile: "What? Do you have a crush on that boy? Haha, although he is the prince, our daughter of the fifth surname and the seventh king cannot marry the royal family."
"Oh mother, what are you talking about? My daughter is only thirteen years old... Let's talk about business. If dad punishes me later, you must help me." Cui Ning'er started acting coquettishly.
Mrs. Cui tapped her daughter on the head and said, "You! This time you hit the right mark. Although we are not on good terms with the royal family, we will not harm other people's children. This is unjust. Choosing not to help each other is the end of benevolence and justice." You did a good job and safely got rid of a big trouble. This way you will not offend the royal family, and the two families will have nothing to say."
"Your father is too late to be happy, so why would he punish you? Don't worry."
Cui Ning'er became happy, is she really? It would be great. I wonder how Little Plum is doing? Can you escape their search safely?
