After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Qingyu cooperated and bowed to Xuanji, "Please rest assured, my lord. I will definitely send the girl to the base safely."

Xuan Ji said "hmm" in satisfaction, which showed that he was quite tactful.

"But what will you do if I leave?" Li Yaoyuan held her hand, with unremovable sorrow in her eyes.

What if she was found to have faked her death? She had fled far away, but Nian Susu was still in Shengjing, and she would be the first to suffer.

Li Yaoyuan didn't want to implicate Nian Susu. If her friends had to pay a price to buy her freedom, she would never let her die.

Nian Susu patted her shoulder helplessly and said, "Your task now is to think about where you are going to live in the future instead of worrying about these things."

She glanced in the direction of the flames and said, "Li Zhiyi's daughter Li Yaoyuan is dead. This has nothing to do with you."

Li Yaoyuan suppressed her sorrow and warned, "Then you must remember to take care of yourself, otherwise I will really end my life with a rope and a fire to atone for my sins."

"Okay." Nian Susu was afraid that if he continued talking it would go on and on.

She took out a thick stack of banknotes from her bosom and stuffed it into Li Yaoyuan's pocket. Li Yaoyuan tried to refuse, but finally couldn't resist her and had to accept it.

After all, there will be a lot of things you need to spend money on when you live alone in the future. No one will complain about having too much money, they just worry that it is not enough to spend.

The two didn't know when they would see each other again, and even in this emergency situation where they had to run away secretly, they still felt reluctant to part. Nian Susu hugged Li Yaoyuan and couldn't help but shed tears.

Li Yaoyuan was the first good friend she made in this world. Now this good friend was leaving. The journey was long and the transportation was slow. Perhaps this was the last time they would see each other in this life.

"Do you have anything else to say to him?" Nian Susu asked her.

No matter how you look at it, Xiao Jianting is the person Li Yaoyuan likes. Even if he leaves a message for him as "Li Yaoyuan", it can be regarded as an explanation for this unspoken relationship.

Li Yaoyuan shook her head and said nothing.

Nian Susu understood what she meant.

The two said goodbye reluctantly, and thousands of words were condensed into one sentence: "Take care".

The carriage gradually went away and finally disappeared into the darkness. Nian Susu was still looking in the direction she left, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Xuan Ji stepped forward and patted her on the back. "Miss Li went to pursue a new life and gained freedom from now on. You should be happy for her."

She understood the reason, but she couldn't control her emotions once they came up, especially when Xuan Ji comforted her, she wanted to cry even more.

Xuan Ji saw that these two sentences made her cry even more sadly, and he was suddenly at a loss. He took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, his movements gentle and careful, as if he was wiping a treasure.

As soon as Nian Susu raised her eyes, she fell into his gentle gaze.

His eyes were gentle, and the butterfly mask was cold, but his gaze was warm. He was clearly with Xuan Ji, but it reminded her of someone else.

She quickly retracted her gaze, wiped her tears, and changed the subject: "Thank you, if you hadn't agreed to place the people in the base of Tianxuan Villa, I don't know what to do."

If Xiao Jianting or Qin Junyu became suspicious and wanted to search for Li Yaoyuan's whereabouts, she would definitely not be able to hide it, but she had 100% confidence in the strength of Tianxuan Villa.

The mystery is that God left without anyone noticing and would not leave any trace.

Xuan Ji: "Between you and me, there is no need to thank each other."

Nian Susu felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was becoming increasingly strange, so she quickly said goodbye to him and left as if escaping. Xuan Ji wanted to see her off but she didn't even have the chance to open her mouth because she had already run away.

At the west gate of the city.

Qin Zehai stood on the city wall, his black robe fluttering in the wind. He crossed his arms over his chest, his brows full of anger, his eyes frighteningly gloomy.

Next to him stood Nian Qiaoyue, who was shaking like a sieve.

Nian Qiaoyue rubbed her arms, trying to warm herself up, her eyes fixed on the corner in the distance, expecting and hoping.

She and Qin Zehai had been on the city wall for two hours. The weather in late March and early April was not that cold, but it was unbearable to withstand such a strong wind. Her legs were shaking so much that she could hardly stand.

There was not a soul on the street, let alone a human being.

The longer she waited, the more uneasy Nian Qiaoyue felt, as she always felt that something might change.

Qin Zehai was getting impatient and asked coldly, "Didn't you say Li Yaoyuan would leave from the west gate tonight? Why hasn't she come yet?"

Nian Qiaoyue hesitated, "Uh... maybe there was some unexpected delay. After all, escaping from marriage is a big deal. If Lord Li becomes suspicious, it won't be so easy to escape."

This was the only way she could persuade Qin Zehai and at the same time calm her own uneasy heart.

Qin Zehai snorted and didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, a guard hurried up to the tower, knelt down at Qin Zehai's feet, and panted, "Prince! It's bad! There's a fire in the Li Mansion! And... and it's Miss Li's yard that's on fire."

"What!" Both of them exclaimed in shock almost at the same time.

Qin Zehai grabbed the guard's collar and forced him to look up at him.

The guard was frightened by the vicious look.

"What happened? Tell me in detail!"

Nian Qiaoyue was so nervous that she broke into a sweat. She swallowed and glanced at Qin Zehai cautiously.

The guard's voice trembled, "Uh uh... It is said that Miss Li hanged herself in her room, and by the time the people in the mansion rushed over, it was too late. Now... the fire hasn't been put out yet..."

Qin Zehai pushed the guard away with a cold face and glared at Nian Qiaoyue, "Didn't you say that Nian Susu would take Li Yaoyuan away from the west gate?" He repeated it again, this time almost squeezing out the sound through his teeth.

Nian Qiaoyue tangle her handkerchief and almost kneeled down to him.

She secretly complained: This is what Nian Susu told her, but plans cannot keep up with changes, and accidents are possible. How can she guarantee that every step will develop in the planned direction?

She felt aggrieved. It was not her fault. Why did Prince Ren take his anger out on her?

No matter how wronged she felt, Nian Qiaoyue could swallow it.

"I don't know what happened, but we have reached an agreement, right?" She raised her eyes carefully, "Although you didn't kill her yourself, wouldn't it be better if Li Yaoyuan hanged herself? That way you don't have to get involved in this dispute."

Nian Qiaoyue didn't know what he was angry about. He had clearly achieved his goal, but he was still angry.

Qin Zehai calmed down and thought about it, it seemed to be true.

He shook his sleeves and turned around, "Go keep an eye on the Li Mansion and make sure the person who died is Li Yaoyuan."

The guards were ordered to retreat.

Nian Qiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his back against the light, which was like a ghost in the dark night, and felt a chill in her heart.

Li House.

Wan Tao cried heart-wrenchingly and was held by two old women, unable to rush into the fire. She was already sitting on the ground in dejection. The noise of dozens of people putting out the fire could not drown out her sad cries.
