Chapter 17
On the way to escape, Shi Yunlin experienced too many life and death separations, and Shi Yunlin never thought she would see Ye Qing again.
The moment Ye Qing saw Shi Yunlin, he was smiling, but his eyes were filled with tears. In a moment, his round face was soaked with tears. She jumped off the carriage and ran towards Shi Yunlin.
Shi Yunlin also picked up her skirt and ran away. Seeing Ye Qing getting closer and closer, the warm afternoon sun gradually illuminated Ye Qing's cheeks. In an instant, the sorrow of Chao Mu, whom she grew up with, and the sadness of thinking she would be killed when they were separated, flooded into my heart, a mix of sweetness and bitterness.
The carriage stopped not far away, but the journey took so long. Finally grabbing each other's arms, my hearts suddenly felt at ease.
"Your Highness, I thought I would never see you again, ah ah ah ah..." Yeqing opened his mouth and howled loudly. He had a childish face but his voice was so thick when he cried, it was really bluffing.
Qishan Lang frowned when he heard this, turned around and left, away from the noise here.
Shi Yunlin was amused by Ye Qing's crying. It was so nice to hear her squeaky cries again.
She looked Yeqing up and down and nodded: "There are no arms or legs missing, that's good!"
"Yeah!" Ye Qing cried, jumped up and down twice, and said seriously: "It's still alive and kicking!"
Aunt Liu in the carriage leaned against the car and wiped her tears. She smiled helplessly and said, "I cried all the way. Didn't I agree that I would shed my tears in advance and stop crying when I see the princess?"
"Oh yes!" Ye Qing sniffed fiercely and tried his best to hold back his tears.
Seeing Aunt Liu, the surprise in Shi Yunlin's eyes became even stronger. Aunt Liu was not someone close to her, but she was someone who had been with her mother for most of her life.
"Mama Liu!" Shi Yunlin quickly walked over and stretched out her hand to help her.
Aunt Liu got off the carriage and repeatedly stroked Shi Yunlin's hand without letting go. "I can still see the princess, so the journey is not in vain!"
Ye Qing nodded repeatedly and cried, "Princess, we are so lucky to be able to see you alive!"
Shi Yunlin smiled and said, "Let's go in and talk."
She walked in the middle, holding Nanny Liu in one hand and Yeqing in the other, holding them firmly. Shi Yunlin raised her eyes and glanced at the warm sun, and suddenly realized that this was the feeling of regaining something lost. I have been losing everything for the past six months, but it turns out I can regain it.
"How did you find it here?" Shi Yunlin asked. She was very curious as to why the two of them were picked up by a carriage sent by Qishan Lang.
Aunt Liu explained: "We chased all the way north, and when we arrived at Su City, we were caught by the guards guarding the city. Originally, we didn't want to tell our identity. We were afraid of getting into trouble, so we just said we were refugees from the Xiang Kingdom."
Ye Qing said aggrievedly: "Everywhere I go I get kicked out, scolded and bullied!"
Aunt Liu glanced at Ye Qing and said with a smile: "Then I was bullied so much that I tried to break the jar." Ye Qing pinched her waist and cursed, revealed her identity, and claimed that we are the queen and princess. The big red man, you guards guarding the city, don’t be so shameless.”
Yeqing felt guilty and lowered his voice: "The princess taught me... not to be too cowardly, but to have backbone!"
Shi Yunlin could hear sadness in their relaxed tone, and could guess their despair when they were in danger.
Shi Yunlin suppressed the sobs in her throat and asked, "What happened next?"
"Later we were arrested and put in jail!"
"Later, the guards took us to the carriage. After driving for who knows how many days, we arrived at Qijing. We didn't know what the guards meant. We asked several times, but they didn't respond. . But I learned from passers-by that the princess got married..."
"It wasn't until this morning that another carriage came to pick us up. I had the courage to ask where they were sending us, and the official said he was..." Ye Qing suddenly became timid and lowered his voice, "Said he was from Qishanlang. people."
She seemed hesitant to mention the name Qishan Wolf.
"Then we guessed we were going to see you!"
Shi Yunlin had already roughly heard the whole story, and while she was talking, the three of them had already arrived in the hall. Shi Yunlin hurriedly asked them to sit down and personally picked up the tea and poured them some hot tea.
"How can a princess do this?" Not to mention Ye Qing came over to grab the teapot, and even Aunt Liu refused to sit down.
Shi Yunlin shook her head and insisted on pouring hot tea for them. "There is no identity of master and servant today, only the reunion after a long separation of life and death."
Grandma Liu and Ye Qing stopped insisting and drank the hot tea in their hands. It had been a long time since I had drunk hot water, and the warm feeling in my mouth rippled through my internal organs, instantly warming my whole body.
Aunt Liu asked: "Is the Queen okay? When can I see her?"
In front of Shi Yunlin's eyes, the figure of her mother standing busy in the small kitchen appeared. She was silent for a moment and then said: "In the afternoon, someone will take you to see your mother."
"That's great! I can't wait to see the queen now!"
Ye Qing also said: "I will also go and kowtow to Your Majesty and Your Majesty. Then I will come back and be the best in the world with the princess!"
Youlu came from outside and stood at the door of the hall to report: "Madam, the people around Princess Mingci are here and want to see you and the general."
Shi Yunlin knew it must be because of today's mad dog incident, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly. She glanced at the dusty Aunt Liu and Yeqing, and asked Youlu to take them both to take a nice hot bath and change into clean warm clothes.
She went to look for Qishanlang herself.
Shi Yunlin stepped onto the corridor and saw Qishan Wolf standing in front of the rockery in the backyard from a distance. He remained motionless, looking up at the treetops.
Shi Yunlin followed his gaze curiously. The branches were bare and she saw nothing.
Shi Yunlin stopped, standing in the corridor with glazed lamps hanging down, and said, "Princess Mingci has sent someone here."
Qi Shanlang looked back. In the corridor where the glazed lamp was shaking, even though she was wearing thick cotton clothes, she could not hide her petite and slender body. Soft and small.
Qishan Lang's eyes were slightly cold and he walked towards the front yard.
Shi Yunlin followed step by step. If Qishan Lang didn't wait for her intentionally, it would be difficult for her to keep up with him.
Eunuch Su used to work for Emperor Qi, but later he became the most powerful person around Princess Mingci, and he gained a lot of respect in the palace. For today's plum blossom appreciation feast, Eunuch Su is also responsible for all the big and small things. Princess Mingci sent him here in person.
No one invited Eunuch Su in. He was waiting in the cold wind in the courtyard with his body bent. Behind him were several young eunuchs and several bundles of apology gifts.
Seeing the Qishan Wolf from a distance, Eunuch Su put on a smile and greeted him. He knelt down seriously, stood up and said, "General, the accident in the palace today shocked the lady. The eldest princess was very worried. It’s uncomfortable. The matter has been found out. The imperial chef was going to make dog meat today, but he didn’t expect that the dog suddenly became crazy and broke out of the iron cage, causing trouble."
Eunuch Su bowed to Shi Yunlin again and said, "The eldest princess took many precious treasures from the treasury and gave them to Madam to apologize for being frightened. She also asked Madam not to be concerned about what happened today. The eldest princess also said , wait for the weather to rise in two days, invite my wife to meet again, and play the piano to make friends."
Eunuch Su said this to Shi Yunlin, but there was no sincerity in his eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Qishanlang, waiting for Qishanlang to speak.
Qishan Lang lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Shi Yunlin turned her eyes slightly and looked at Qishanlang, worried in her heart - did he understand?
Shi Yunlin was not surprised at all by Princess Mingci's handling method. For this matter, being able to send Eunuch Su on this trip is already a big honor. An apology was sent over there, she accepted it, and made an appointment to get together next time, and the matter was settled.
It's just that Shi Yunlin is very good at positioning herself. If Qishan Lang doesn't speak, she won't speak either.
Qishanlang's silence made the entire courtyard fall into silence.
But Qishanlang didn't remain silent for long.
"Come here." Qishan Lang stared at Eunuch Su indifferently.
Shi Yunlin looked at Qishanlang with some surprise. At this time, did he understand what Eunuch Su said?
Eunuch Su held the front of his gown, bent down and walked close to Qishan Lang.
Qishanlang suddenly raised his foot and kicked Eunuch Su on the knee. There was a sound of bone cracking, and Eunuch Su screamed and fell to the ground.
Shi Yunlin was startled and subconsciously took half a step back.
The little eunuchs who followed him ran over in panic and tried to help him, but before they could get close, they looked up at Qishan Wolf in fear and backed away one after another.
Eunuch Su was hunched over and moaning in pain. Qishan Lang took half a step forward, stepped on Eunuch Su's knee with his boots, and applied force bit by bit. The broken bones slowly shattered, and the sound of tiny bone cracks was heard by everyone present. Thunder.
Eunuch Su looked up at Qishan Wolf. Qishan Wolf was against the light, and the light and shadow were dazzling, making it difficult for Eunuch Su to see Qishan Wolf's expression clearly. A kind of fear of death crawled up Eunuch Su's back coldly under the warm sun.
Qishanlang looked at him condescendingly and said indifferently: "Check again."
This was not the result Qishanlang wanted, and Eunuch Su was not the person he wanted to see. Here in Qishanlang, we never put it aside until next time.
He hasn't read a book and doesn't know much vocabulary. Tolerance - was a word he could never understand.
Qishanlang raised his foot and let go of Eunuch Su. When he turned around, he saw Shi Yunlin looking at him in fear.
Are you afraid of him? Qishanlang smiled. He walked over and pinched Shi Yunlin's face when he passed her. Her face felt a little cold, and Qi Shanlang pinched it again with his fingertips.
Eunuch Su had a broken leg and was carried back to life.
As soon as Princess Mingci saw him like this, she knew something was wrong. She fell back into her chair in shock and asked coldly: "Do you know about the mad dog?"
Eunuch Su had just escaped death, so he still dared to speak harshly. He cried and said, "Your Highness, I never thought that the matter would be so serious..."
Since he was responsible for today's banquet, it would be difficult for the Crown Princess to succeed if she didn't inform him in advance.
"You are confused!" Princess Mingci slammed the table angrily.
The grandmother beside me was worried: "Qishanlang is not satisfied. Although Eunuch Su is an old man, but..."
Eunuch Su was so frightened that he cried and begged Princess Mingci not to hand him over to Qishanlang again.
"Do you think a slave can settle the matter? Back then, the prince raped the female soldier next to Qi Shanlang, and he broke into the East Palace and stabbed the prince with a knife. He still has a short memory, and now he wants to kill even his wife!" Princess Mingci Out of breath.
"Then...invite the Crown Princess to come over and discuss it?"
Princess Mingci thought for a moment and said, "Please come over, Prince."
Being forced by a minister, Princess Mingci also felt angry. But what can she do? If Qi Shanlang hadn't been born out of nowhere, Qi would have met the same fate as Min and Xiang. Don’t talk about the past, just talk about now. Qishanlang will disarm today, and Lu will raise its troops tomorrow!
She was very anxious here, but Shi Yunlin was in a very good mood over there.
Shi Yunlin was indeed frightened by Qishan Wolf today. But after all, her bones were not broken, and the shock was only for a moment. Until nightfall, she was still immersed in the joy of being reunited with Yeqing and Aunt Liu.
After taking a bath, she looked in the mirror, combing her long hair, and happily hummed a local tune.
Until Qi Shanlang pushed the door open and came in.
Shi Yunlin turned around and recovered from her joy, and was surprised to realize that it was getting dark. She was always afraid of the dark. Every night is a long ordeal.
Qi Shanlang locked the door with his backhand, stretched his long fingers to his collar and pulled off his clothes. He took off his clothes as he walked towards Shi Yunlin. Shi Yunlin looked away in panic. She didn't dare to look at Qishan Lang's body.
When Qishanlang stood in front of her and reached out to pull Shi Yunlin's clothes. Shi Yunlin suddenly remembered those clothes that were torn by Qishan Wolf. She didn't have that much for him to tear apart.
She hurriedly held Qishanlang's hand, looked up at him with her little face, and said softly: "I'll take it off myself."
Qishan Lang stared blankly.
