Seeing him leave, Mu Yun, who had just helped him, was upset: "Hey, you're just leaving like that!"

Qi Nanfeng didn't even turn his head and smiled, "I'll find you later."

Then he pulled Xia Taoyuan up and quickly turned into an alley and disappeared.

The people watching the excitement were talking a lot. Zhang Qianqian looked in the direction where Qi Nanfeng and Xia Taoyuan left until they were out of sight.

Yingge was anxious, but couldn't get away. She knew Qi Nanfeng and knew he had no ill intentions, so she decided to go look for him after the fight.

After walking for a while, they came to an empty alley. Qi Nanfeng stopped. He had heard from Mu Yun that Ye Linglong was going to marry Chu Xingluo, and he had also seen what happened just now. He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from Xia Taoyuan's eyes, and said distressedly, "You've lost weight!"

At this moment, Xia Taoyuan felt aggrieved, and her tears fell one by one like beads from a broken string. She didn't expect Chu Xingluo to give Ye Linglong a token of love. If it was something else, she wouldn't believe it was given by Chu Xingluo, and she would even think that he was spreading rumors. But she had seen that jade necklace before. It was a gift from Lingzhou Cao Liang, a former subordinate of Xiao Feng's father, on the day of their wedding. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and the more her heart ached.

Qi Nanfeng sighed softly, wiped her tears with his sleeve, and coaxed her softly: "Don't cry, if you cry again I will hold you and leave."

Upon hearing this, Xia Taoyuan tried hard to stop crying, because she knew that Qi Nanfeng would do what he said.

Seeing that she had stopped crying, Qi Nanfeng took her hand again and walked around to a tavern, which was the tavern where he and Xia Taoyuan had drunk on the day they first met.

He told the boss to find a secluded single room, and the boss pointed to the innermost room. Qi Nanfeng took a few taels of silver and whispered: "No matter who asks, don't say there is someone inside."

The boss took the silver and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sir."

Qi Nanfeng took Xia Taoyuan's hand and walked into the innermost room.

He looked at Xia Taoyuan and said with a smile: "Today I will let you drink enough!"

Xia Taoyuan was so sad that she didn't answer him.

After a while, the boss came in with wine and food. After serving the food, the boss went out and closed the door.

Qi Nanfeng poured a cup of wine into Xia Taoyuan's hand, poured himself another cup, and said with a smile: "We drank in this tavern the first time we met, do you remember?"

Xia Taoyuan nodded. How could she not remember? That day was the first time Qi Nanfeng helped her.

"Drink it!" Qi Nanfeng said as he drank it all in one gulp. Xia Taoyuan ignored everything and drank it in one gulp as well.

After a few more drinks, Xia Taoyuan's cheeks flushed, she felt a little dizzy, and then she almost fell down. Fortunately, Qi Nanfeng was quick to support her. She fell into Qi Nanfeng's arms, mumbling, "I can still drink."

Qi Nanfeng hugged her gently, looked at her flushed face, and couldn't help but kiss her. He really missed her so much, and seeing how upset she was today, she must have suffered a lot of grievances. For a moment, he really wanted to take her away.

Xia Taoyuan actually fell asleep in his arms. He was reluctant to let her go and just held her in his arms.

Mu Yun beat him for a while, then stopped and left when he thought Qi Nanfeng had gone far away. Seeing this, Zhang Qianqian and her maid chased after him.

Yingge injured Ye Linglong's two maids. She didn't want to hurt them, but she was busy and couldn't get away, so she hit them too hard in a hurry.

She chased in the direction Qi Nanfeng went, but after walking for a long time, there was no sign of Qi Nanfeng and Xia Taoyuan.

Yingge was a little anxious, and after searching for a while, she decided to go to Nanzhu Mansion. When she arrived at Nanzhu Mansion, she met two of Qi Nanfeng's followers, Xu Kun and Ding Peng. When they said Qi Nanfeng hadn't come back, she became even more anxious. She didn't believe it, and ran into Nanzhu Mansion to search room by room, but couldn't find him.

Xia Taoyuan slept in Qi Nanfeng's arms for two hours before she woke up. When she woke up and saw that she was being held by Qi Nanfeng, she struggled to get away. At this time, she was still a little dizzy, so Qi Nanfeng asked the boss to cook some hangover soup.

"You'll be fine after drinking the sobering soup in a while." Qi Nanfeng tried to embrace Xia Taoyuan again, but she dodged him.

"What time is it now?"

"It happened at noon." Qi Nanfeng's tone was so gentle that it made people drunk: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just don't want to go back." Xia Taoyuan said angrily.

Qi Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Then shall I take you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"No!" She didn't want to go anywhere now. Nowhere was her home.

"Shall I take you somewhere?" Qi Nanfeng asked tentatively.

"Okay!" At this moment, Xia Taoyuan just wanted to escape to a place where there was no one.

After drinking the hangover soup and resting for a while, Qi Nanfeng asked his boss to help him rent a carriage, and he drove to the city gate himself.

When Xia Taoyuan heard him say that he was going out of the city, he said, "You can't get out." Then he repeated what Chu Xingluo had said.

Qi Nanfeng smiled and said, "It's okay, that's to protect Prince Jing, they don't know you, don't be afraid."

Xia Taoyuan thought about it and it made sense. She couldn't leave the city just to prevent Chu Xingluo. No one should care whether she was there or not.

Sure enough, the guard at the city gate lifted the curtain, looked around, asked them a few questions, and then let them go.

Qi Nanfeng drove for about an hour and stopped at the foot of a mountain. Xia Taoyuan jumped out of the car and looked at the beautiful scenery around her. Tears started to flow again. She thought of Taotao Taoyuan and the days when she and Chu Xingluo were in love.

After a pause, she walked up the mountain by herself. After walking for a long time, she reached halfway up the mountain. She stopped and shouted at the distant mountain: "Who can tell me why what I said can be disregarded? Who can tell me how I can go home! I want to go home! Grandpa and grandma, I miss you so much!" After shouting for a long time, the grief and depression and all the bad emotions that had accumulated in her heart for these days were finally released. After shouting, she squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

Qi Nanfeng looked at her from behind, listening to her screaming. He didn't know what she was screaming about, and watched her cry for a while. Then he walked over, pulled her up, and held her in his arms.

This time she didn't push him away, but sobbed in his arms.

After crying for a long time, the sky gradually darkened, and Qi Nanfeng said gently: "Taotao, are you going home?"

Xia Taoyuan was startled. How did he know her name was Taotao? Then she remembered that he had stolen her handkerchief, which had the words Taotao embroidered on it. Then she thought, let it be, now that it's like this, who cares who she is?

After venting her anger, she felt much better and said, "No."

"Well, I see some lights in the distance, it should be an inn, how about we go there to rest later?"

"it is good!"

The two of them went down the mountain and got on the carriage to the place where the lights were, and they arrived in a short while. Unfortunately, there was only one guest room left, so Qi Nanfeng paid the waiter and asked him to send some food to the room.

Yingge looked for Nanzhu Mansion but couldn't find her, so she went to Xiangfu Mansion. She thought the princess might be angry and went back to Xiangfu Mansion, but she didn't expect that Xiangfu Mansion was not there either. She had no choice but to rush back to the palace and tell the story.

When Chu Xingluo heard that Ye Linglong was wearing a jade necklace and said it was a token of love given by him, he felt angry and furious, knowing that he had been tricked by the emperor again.

When he entered the palace early in the morning, Emperor Ying asked him if he had any jadeite. He didn't think much about it at the time and said he had a necklace. When he left the palace, the emperor sent someone to go back with him to get it. When he sent away the people around the emperor, he met Taotao and Yingge who were about to leave.

Now that I think about it, someone close to the emperor must have taken the jade and given it directly to Ye Linglong, or in his name. Taotao had seen the jade necklace and heard that it was given to Ye Linglong by herself. She must have been very sad.

Chu Xingluo didn't bother to blame the emperor. Finding Taotao was the most important thing at the moment. Although he knew that Taotao and Qi Nanfeng would not be in danger together, he didn't know why he was extremely nervous and worried at the moment.
