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

Suddenly he felt something moving at his feet and hurriedly covered it. Unexpectedly, this actually called back the officers and soldiers who had just left.

"what sound?"

He hurriedly explained: "Sir, why are you so nervous? They are just a few mice. There is no need to make a fuss."

"Rat? Big or small?"

"This official is really funny. Rats are small, of course. How can there be big ones?"

"I don't think it's a mouse, is it hiding?"

"Sir, how could that be possible? How dare we harbor a wanted criminal of the imperial court? Even if we were given ten times the courage, we wouldn't dare to do that."

"I don't think you would dare."

As they spoke, they continued to wield their swords.

I heard another soldier say, "Forget it. I don't think there are any wanted criminals here. Let's look for them somewhere else."

"Ok."

Follow them out quickly.

But they really couldn't hold on any longer. After all, this was a cellar that hadn't been opened for a long time, and they would have difficulty breathing if they stayed there for a while, so they both fainted inside, unconscious.

When I woke up, I found that I was still living in the same room.

At this time, he pushed the door open and said, "You're awake. Come and have some hot soup."

I felt a little dizzy, "What time is it now?"

"It's already noon. You don't know that you have slept for three days and three nights. We are very worried."

"Really? I really slept that long?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, he's fine. He's in good spirits now."

I felt relieved after hearing her say that.

After a few days, he recovered from his illness and prepared to leave.

After discussion, they decided that the most dangerous place was the safest place and prepared to go to the capital.

As night fell, they were still a long distance away from the capital, so they settled down in a shabby hut in the wilderness.

Just as everyone was getting ready to take a break, they heard a few people shouting outside and hurriedly got up to see.

Lying down at the door, I saw several people pulling a few horses. They didn't look like soldiers, but more like a merchant caravan from foreign lands.

After observing for a long time, I heard: "This is a foreign caravan called the Sand Scorpion Gang. However, they have a very strange habit: they are very fierce when they see men, but polite to women. This can be called a quirk."

He immediately thought of a solution and said to them, "In order to avoid trouble, give them the clothes."

"I don't understand what you are saying. Are we going to fight them to death?"

"Oh, I meant to change them both. I'm going to hold them off for a while. It'd better be quick."

"Ah, no."

They all opened their mouths wide and said hurriedly, "What? If you don't do this, I will eat you all later."

There was no other way, they both had to bear with it.

"What do you guys need?"

I thought they would be furious with us, but unexpectedly, they said in a very gentle voice: "It's nothing, we just saw a fire here, so we thought there must be someone here, could you let us stay for one night? If it's not convenient, then we won't bother you."

In order to buy time, I asked them again: "Your accents don't sound like locals."

"Yes, we are not from the Central Plains."

"So where are you guys going?"

"We are a merchant caravan, transporting all these goods to the capital."

"I'm so sorry, it's not convenient for you to stay here. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, let's find another place."

Just as the foreign caravan was about to leave, the leader of the caravan suddenly returned to salute and then asked, "I haven't asked for your name, young lady."

Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly introduced himself and said, "It's my honor to meet you."

I hurried over to support him, but he said no, he could handle it himself.

But he didn't expect that when he walked up to her, she was so fascinated that she even called him a great beauty.

However, it is true. How can such a charming and beautiful "beauty" not make people obsessed?

Then, he was startled when he just came out of the door.

"Who...who is this?"

"Well, my skills are pretty good, right?"

After saying that, he covered his mouth and kept laughing.

He shook his head, looked up to the sky and sighed, "Alas, I never thought that my fame would be ruined like this. Alas, alas!"

He didn't say a word.

Hey, this guy is quite enthusiastic in chatting. Never mind the content of the conversation, besides I have no interest in knowing it. Just the sound of his voice is enough to make my whole body tremble as if it were winter.

Fearing that something might happen again, he hurriedly pulled him back and said, "It's getting late. If you don't have anything else to do, then..."

Before he finished speaking, he interrupted and said, "Well, I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

"See you later...indefinitely."

The last two words were spoken softly, hoping never to see them again.

After sending them away, she said to him, "You really don't know how to control yourself. You can just say a few words. Why do you have to talk so much? If he can't help but fall in love with you, oh, then no one can save you."

The next morning, someone suddenly pushed the door open.

He said hurriedly, "Pack your things and follow me quickly. The soldiers will be here soon."

But when they arrived at the city gate, they found a group of soldiers at the gate and hurriedly retreated.

After taking a few steps back, someone opened the door and said, "Miss, please come in."

I turned around and saw that this was my former personal maid. Why was she here?

Without saying a word, he hid in the house.

Not long after, the officers and soldiers came knocking on the door. I hid in the inner room and went out to send them away.

As soon as the door was opened, the officers and soldiers pulled out a few paintings and asked, "Have you seen these people?"

I only heard the answer: "No, I think I saw it a few days ago."

"Where?"

"Just outside the city."

The officers and soldiers hurried out of the city.

Hearing that there was no movement outside, he came out to check the situation.

Only after making sure that he had left did I dare to come out of the inner room.

"That was a close call just now. Thank you."

"Nothing, I hope you're fine too."

"Hey, by the way, why are you here? Shouldn't you be here? How is your family? Are they okay?"

With a worried look on his face, he saw that she didn't say anything, so he hurriedly asked him, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."

Then he spoke: "Master and Madam, not only them, but the whole family, young and old, were arrested and thrown into prison. Before the master was arrested, he told me: You must find her. If you find her, tell her not to come back, remember. Soon, the soldiers came to arrest people. With the help of the housekeeper, I escaped from the back door. I didn't expect that God would let me find the young lady."

People around were also busy trying to persuade them.

At this moment, there was an urge to confess my sins and be willing to sacrifice in exchange for their peace, but I was stopped by others.

"Go, go ahead. No one will stop you. Do whatever you want." He threw his sleeves and said with his back turned.

Knowing that he was just saying this in anger, I hurried over and grabbed his sleeve to tell him not to be angry.

He said to me calmly, "You know what? So many of us have worked so hard to accompany you to escape every day. Why? It's for you to be safe. Calm down and think carefully about whether it's worth it."

After hearing what he said, she sat down on the ground, covered her face with her hands and started crying.

Scatter everyone.

After closing the door, the deserted room seemed particularly scary.

Before I knew it, it was already dawn. When I woke up, I found that I had fallen asleep on the edge of the bed.

I wanted to stand up, but my legs had been pressed all night and my nerves had been compressed for a long time, so I couldn't stand up.

I held onto the edge of the bed and tried to stand up, but I couldn't.

At this time, she pushed the door open with breakfast in her hand. Seeing this situation, she hurriedly helped him up: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Why are you sitting on the floor so early in the morning? You will catch a cold. Come on, get up and sit on the bed. I made bird's nest porridge for you today. Drink a few sips while it's hot to warm your body."

After saying that, he hurried to the table to get breakfast.

"Miss, how can this be possible?"

She also realized that he was joking with her, so she pretended to be serious and said, "Yes, I will obey you."

They all laughed after saying that.

"Okay, drink this bowl of porridge quickly, otherwise it will become cold and unpalatable."
