Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

Gu Huai ignored Xie Qingyu's threat. He just gave him a cold look, then turned and walked to Lu Yaoyao, saying softly, "Yaoyao, let's go."

Lu Yaoyao looked at the token in Gu Huai's hand, feeling deeply moved and guilty.

Is it worth it to use the golden medal of immunity from death earned through the Gu family's merits to save her?

And if he saved her, what would Xie Qingchen do?

She didn't care what purpose Xie Qingchen had in coming here, but now she was asked to selfishly leave with Gu Huai, which was a bit impossible for her to do.

Gu Huai saw what she was thinking at a glance. He felt uncomfortable, but he had to comfort her. "Don't worry, he will be fine. If you don't believe me, I won't take you far away. You can see when the time comes."

"Okay." Lu Yaoyao also understood that if they kept delaying, no one would be able to leave.

She followed Gu Huai onto his horse, and Gu Huai rode away.

Lu Yaoyao turned around and saw that Xie Qingchen was soon fighting with Xie Qingyu's men.

Gu Huai rode his horse at full speed all the way until he entered a brothel, where he stopped.

The tension on his face also relaxed.

Lu Yaoyao was curious, "Where is this?"

Gu Huai said, "This place is very safe. This is a brothel run by a minister who has taken refuge with Xie Qingyu. He pretends to be close to Xie Qingyu, but in reality he is someone who has received great favors from the Gu family. Therefore, he will definitely not betray us. Even if Xie Qingyu sends people to search, they will never think of coming here."

"Ah."

Just as Lu Yaoyao responded, the madam came in with a middle-aged man and saluted Gu Huai respectfully, "General Gu."

Gu Huaixu helped her up and said, "No need to be so polite, Madam Li. This is Miss Lu. Please arrange a good room for her and prepare some hot meals for her."

Mother Li smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, General Gu, I'll leave everything to you." After that, she turned to Lu Yaoyao and said in a very friendly manner, "Miss Lu, please follow me."

Lu Yaoyao looked at Gu Huai gratefully and left with Mother Li.

The wing rooms are elegantly and warmly decorated, exuding a noble atmosphere, and are obviously carefully maintained.

The hot food was already placed on the table, and the aroma made Lu Yaoyao's already hungry stomach growl even more.

"Gu Huai, what should we do?" But Lu Yaoyao was worried and had no appetite.

Mother Li said truthfully, "General Gu can't stay here for too long, so we'll prepare a sedan chair for him to ride out through the side door in the backyard."

Lu Yaoyao nodded, feeling much more relieved.

As night fell, Lu Yaoyao sat alone in front of the window, looking at the bustling streets outside, but her heart was silent.

At this moment, a knock on the door broke the silence.

"Miss Lu, it's me." Mother Li's voice sounded outside the door.

Lu Yaoyao stood up and opened the door. Mother Li walked in quickly, then closed the door and smiled. "General Gu sent someone to say that Master Xie has escaped. There's no need to worry, young lady."

"That's good." Lu Yaoyao felt relieved.

As things developed to this point, Lu Yaoyao became more and more uneasy. She wanted to get out of here quickly and let everything return to normal.

"System, hasn't the headquarters chosen a target yet? I feel like I can't stand it any longer here." She said irritably.

"Host, please be patient. The headquarters had already selected a candidate, but who knew that Gu Huai was not dead and came back, so the headquarters has to hold a new meeting to discuss countermeasures."

"When?" Lu Yaoyao felt like her patience was almost running out.

"At most half a month."

"it is good."

For the past half month, she stayed here without eating or drinking.

Lu Yaoyao still couldn't sleep. She opened the window and saw a figure flash by, followed by something rushing in.

Lu Yaoyao was startled and took a closer look at the person lying on the ground, only to find that it was Xie Qingchen.

He was covered in blood and looked badly injured.

However, Xie Qingyu had already made plans and was ready to trap Xie Qingchen or Gu Huai. How could he let them leave so easily?

It was obvious that he had fought hard to get free.

Lu Yaoyao hurried forward and shouted anxiously, "Xie Qingchen, wake up, how are you?"

Xie Qingchen opened his eyes with difficulty, and when he saw Lu Yaoyao, he forced a smile on his face, "Yaoyao, don't worry, I'm fine."

"It's okay." She took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calm. "Try not to fall asleep. I have some medicine here. I'll help you take care of your wound first."

As she spoke, Lu Yaoyao took out some healing medicine and bandages from her bosom and began to carefully bandage Xie Qingchen's wound.

Xie Qingchen looked at Lu Yaoyao's focused expression, and a hint of sweetness seeped out of him.

He said softly, "Yaoyao, thank you."

Lu Yaoyao looked up at him, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, but her tone was still cold, "You don't have to thank me, I just don't want to owe you a favor."

She didn't ask why he suddenly became so heartless and said he wanted to break up with her, and why he broke into the prison to save her now.

It seemed as if no matter what he did, she didn't care or pay any attention.

I felt a sense of loss, but I quickly got over it.

It's fine now. One day, when I leave, she won't be sad.

Just then, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Then, Mother Li's voice rang out from outside the door, "Miss Lu, this is bad! Xie Qingyu's people have already found their way here. Hurry and leave through the back door!"

"How could this be?" Lu Yaoyao didn't react for a moment. Didn't Gu Huai say that this place was safe?

She subconsciously glanced at Xie Qingchen. Without a doubt, he must have brought the people here.

He was seriously injured and left a trail of blood along the way during his escape, making it easy for him to be held accountable.

A hint of guilt flashed in Xie Qingchen's eyes.

he did not do it on purpose.

He was seriously injured at the time and was afraid that he would die. His desire to see her reached its peak, so he came here without considering the consequences.

Lu Yaoyao didn't have time to say anything. Under the anxious urging of Mother Li, she quickly helped Xie Qingchen up, and the two of them hurried downstairs to the backyard.

There was already a carriage waiting there. Lu Yaoyao and Xie Qingchen got into the carriage and went out from the back door. In the night, they passed through the narrow alleys and galloped all the way until they were far away from the brothel, and then the carriage stopped.

The driver said respectfully, "Miss Lu, this is one of our secret outposts. It's very secluded and hidden. I'm sorry to trouble you to take Master Xie and hide here first. If the search tomorrow isn't too strict, Mother Li will find a way to take you back."

"Thanks for your hard work."

The carriage nodded slightly, not daring to stay any longer, and drove away quickly.

Lu Yaoyao glanced around and made sure that she was not being targeted by anyone with ulterior motives, then she helped Xie Qingchen into the courtyard.

Although the courtyard is small and remote, it is clean and tidy, so it is acceptable to live there.

Lu Yaoyao helped Xie Qingchen lie down and said to him, "I'll get some firewood to boil water. You wash and change your clothes. I'll burn the bloody clothes on you. Then we can disguise ourselves. If the soldiers search here, we won't be easily caught."

"Okay, go ahead." Xie Qingchen understood that he was a burden to her, so he didn't say anything more.
