After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

They always say that it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all, but...

That's just for them.

"Have you made up your mind? Are you leaving tonight?"

I don’t know what she was thinking. She was silent for a long time, then slowly walked up to him and looked at him with firm eyes.

"I've made up my mind. No matter what, I'm going to have to go through this. It's just a matter of time. So what if I've made up my mind? So what if I haven't made up my mind?"

Her expression was so sincere that he instantly felt ashamed.

Night fell, but I couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Seeing him sleeping like a dead pig, I felt even less sleepy.

Before I knew it, it was already dawn.

He dragged his tired body out of bed, but after taking a few steps, he tripped and fell to the ground.

I heard someone in a daze, and when I opened my eyes, I saw two big eyes staring at me, and all my sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

He quickly turned his head away, stopped talking, walked to the table, brought breakfast, and then walked away.

Without thinking much about it, it felt like I hadn't eaten for a long time, so I picked up the bowl and started eating in big mouthfuls.

Touching my bulging belly, I felt an indescribable joy in my heart.

He immediately pushed the door open, holding a set of clothes in his hand, and said that he felt unsafe here and wanted to leave immediately.

As he was walking through an alley with the bag, he was pulled away by someone hiding in the alley.

I finally stopped, gasping for breath.

Seeing how tired I was, the man turned around and said, "Don't be offended. I brought you here because I saw soldiers there."

He turned around again and extended his hand to show his friendliness, and said: "We are from the underworld, we know each other, let's be friends."

Unexpectedly, he snatched it away, pushed it back, held my hand and said, "Hello, you are my brother."

"Oh, I see."

I had to suppress the anger in my heart temporarily.

Escort them out of the city and protect them all the way.

He said: "How can two weak scholars stand such a torment? Let me be a hero and escort you for a while."

Then he burst into laughter.

He could still laugh at this moment. Since there were soldiers here, they must have known it.

A series of worries came to my mind.

The eldest brother bought a carriage for use.

I looked around but still couldn't find it.

Now my upper and lower eyelids are so tight that I can't open them anymore

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at a courtyard house and were told to stay here for the night and leave tomorrow morning.

After running for so many days, I feel very uncomfortable all over.

This was not acceptable, so he retorted: "I never like to be with others."

When I picked up my coat and was about to leave, I was grabbed by someone and almost fell into it.

At this time, he knocked on the door and asked if I needed anything. He pulled me in and told me not to make a sound.

"There seems to be no movement outside."

Then he pulled it out again, shouting, "Let me go, you hurt me, why are you bullying a weak scholar like me? Do you know that this is very immoral?"

"A weak scholar? And you're saying I'm immoral?"

As she said this, she untied her hair tie and all her hair fell down.

"How can you be like this?" he shouted angrily.

He didn't say a word, but just walked closer step by step.

Seeing that something was wrong, I wanted to shout for help.

I've been running all day and I'm already very tired, so now I can't exert any strength at all.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I'm just angry. I treated you as my friends, but you lied to me like this. You didn't treat me as your friend at all, right?"

She was stunned for a moment, looked at him with a wry smile, and slowly moved forward step by step.

Just as I reached the door, I bumped into someone who was pushing it open. I hurriedly slapped him with my hand: "Why did you come back just now, you..."

Suddenly he turned and asked, "What on earth did you do?"

"Nothing, I just don't want you to continue deceiving me."

After saying that, he slammed the door and left.

It was a bit scary to be alone in an empty room.

I didn’t know what I was doing. I felt very confused, as if my soul had lost itself.

When he came back, he said he didn't catch up with him, thinking he must have

Complain like this, and comfort them by saying: "Don't blame yourself, I think they also want you to live a better life and be happier. You can't have the best of both worlds, right?"

That night I just hid in my room, thinking about how to deal with it, but I couldn't come up with a good solution.

Just when I was getting anxious, a figure vaguely flashed outside the window.

At first I didn't think much of it, thinking it was something else, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

But suddenly it fluttered again, and he quickly became alert, thinking it was some evil thief, and tiptoed towards the door.

Suddenly the door opened and a person flashed in. I was so scared that I quickly stepped back.

"Shh, keep your voice down, I came here specially to see you."

"Why do you say you came all the way to see me? What do you want from me?"

He walked to the table and sat down. Without answering the question first, he picked up the teapot and drank tea.

Seeing that he didn't answer the question for a long time, she slammed her hand on the table with a "bang". He was so scared that the spout of the kettle suddenly shifted from its original place and spilled all over his clothes.

I quickly wiped his clothes with a handkerchief and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, please don't be offended."

While wiping the clothes with his hands, he said, "It's okay, it will be dry in a while. Oh, by the way, I came here this time to ask you something."

"What is it? Ask me."

"I...I don't know. I'm thinking about it now."

"If... you don't want to go, come find me and I'll help you. If you have any problems, you can find me at the inn."

After saying that, he quickly opened the door and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Time flies, and it is another quiet night.

The more urgent the situation, the more uneasy and panicky I feel.

Finally, I made a bold decision: to leave this place of trouble.

That night, he found a set of men's clothes and rushed to the inn to seek help.

The person who opened the door was a man in his fifties.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Long Cheng sitting with his legs crossed and humming a little tune leisurely.

He ran in and with a plop, the stool fell backwards.

"What's wrong, am I scary?"

He hurriedly explained: "No, I didn't expect it to be so cool, it's really shocking, what, have you figured it out?"

"Have you really thought it through? You won't regret it?"

"I won't regret it, but I also think I'm quite selfish. I can abandon my parents for my own sake."

"This is your choice, you can't blame anyone else. By the way, if you are really determined, I suggest you stay like this to avoid unnecessary disasters."

"Nothing, this is the real me."

The next morning, before daybreak, he ran out, saying that the earlier he left, the more at ease he would be.

"Ah."

In this way, he ran all the way to a county town, changed his name, and settled down there.

Before entering the city, "What are you going to do? You left your job without permission, which is a capital crime."

"Ah, it's not that serious. At most, I will be demoted or exiled. I regard fame and fortune as nothing."

They looked at each other first, then started laughing.

And it was a very serious expression. After seeing it, he laughed even harder.

After entering the city, I hurriedly found an inn to stay in.

"Boss, do you have two superior guest rooms?"

"Wait a minute, let me see, sir. I'm sorry, we only have one superior room left. What's wrong with you two grown men staying in one room? Why do you have to stay in two?"

There was no choice but to live in the same room in order not to arouse other people’s suspicion.

I didn't check the almanac before going out. What bad luck! It seems that today is not a good day to go out.

"Forget it, just make do with it."

"No, no."

"No? It has to be okay. When you're away from home, having a place to stay is already good enough. How can you expect anything more? If you live alone, I won't be responsible for anything that happens."

He looked very hesitant, then said, "Okay, mine is a young master, don't think about it, just let it be."

As she said this, she glanced at him and said, "Don't you know? Really."

"know."

"I know you're still like this."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"what!"

"OK then."

Looking at his helpless face, a feeling of joy flashed through my heart.
