Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

Chapter 127 Xiaohe

"Zifang, if you promise me to sit still and not move, I will untie you."

Zi Fang blinked and said yes. Su Yi pointed his finger, and Zifang immediately spoke:

"Brother Su, I know you must be going to the palace today. How is Yueyue?"

"She's fine. She said she'd come back to us when you recover from your injuries."

Su Yi made up an excuse. He knew that Zifang would definitely listen to Hao Yue's words.

"Do you know now why Hao Yue kept it secret from you?" Su Yi patted Zifang on the shoulder and asked.

Zi Fang shook his head.

"Hao Yue knows that you care about her the most. She is just afraid that something like yesterday will happen to you."

"If I hadn't discovered it in time yesterday, you still don't know what would have happened."

"Zifang, when I first gained a foothold in Long Yuan Kingdom, I personally experienced the consequences of recklessness. I was imprisoned several times, and I even wronged Shu'er."

Su Yi tried to use his own personal experience to persuade Zifang.

"If I hadn't been eager for success in investigating the case this time and exposed my martial arts, I wouldn't have been discovered by the Qin family, and I wouldn't have suffered this disaster without any defense."

"You should think twice before doing anything, not only me, but you should do the same." Su Yi advised earnestly.

"When I first met you in Pingyang Prefecture, I thought you were a calm person. But in the past month or so, you have lost your mind when I encountered something about Hao Yue."

"Hao Yue is smart. She will definitely minimize the danger. Just rest and recover while we wait for news about her."

After listening to Su Yi's words, Zifang thought for a long time.

Indeed, Zi Fang recalled that he had indeed been a little impatient in doing things recently.

"Thank you Brother Su for your kind words. I will patiently wait for the opportunity to rescue Yueyue."

Seeing that Zi Fang had regained some sense, Su Yi gave a few words of advice:

"Although the wound is not deep, it still needs more rest."

"The whole city is on alert recently, and we can't go out. Let's take advantage of this period to plan our escape route."

? ?

"Brother Su, what are your plans?"

"I just saw the city defense map in Leng Aotian's study. I took a pen and paper to draw it first."

After a while, Su Yi copied the map on the parchment onto the paper using the image in his memory.

Zifang held the map that Su Yigang had just drawn and couldn't help but admire:

"Brother Su is worthy of being a descendant of the Qin family. He escaped unharmed several times after entering the palace. Not only did he save me once, he also brought back a city defense map today."

"Don't say such nonsense. It doesn't matter if I go alone. I can go anywhere."

"But the risk will be greater when you, Hao Yue, and the others we bring leave. Let's try to find the safest way."

Su Yi felt that Zifang and Hao Yue were becoming more and more similar. He was still more used to the taciturn Zifang.

About half an hour later, Su Yi and Zifang planned two escape routes.

To be on the safe side, Su Yi later walked twice in person. In the end, Su Yi chose a waterway halfway up the mountain.

"Zifang, when the time comes, your people will sail ahead and wait, and we will pick up Hao Yue and Hongxia."

Zifang nodded. With Su Yi here, it would be easier to go to the palace to rescue people as little as possible. This would make it easier to move.

Su Yi and Zifang were ready, waiting for Hao Yue to escape successfully.

At night, Leng Aotian came to the Magnolia Palace.

There was a bump on the back of Leng Aotian's head because Zifang hit him with a vase, but the imperial doctor had applied ointment to reduce the swelling, so there was no need to wrap it with gauze anymore.

As soon as Leng Aotian entered the yard, he found Xiaohe kneeling on the gravel road.

Leng Aotian walked in front of Xiaohe, turned his back to Xiaohe and asked:

"Why are you kneeling here? Why aren't you waiting beside Concubine Hao?"

Xiaohe straightened his body, folded his hands, and saluted Leng Aotian.

"Returning to Your Highness, not long after you left in the morning, Sister Xiaoying conveyed your message, and the servant was there to help persuade the concubine. The concubine was displeased, so she punished the slave to kneel here."

Xiaohe deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word 'morning', hoping to gain Leng Aotian's sympathy.

"Even Gu can't tame her, and you still want to make her change her mind with just a few words?"

Leng Aotian turned his head and looked at the girl who had been with him since childhood, and finally said softly:

"Although Hao Yue has a stubborn temper, he usually doesn't embarrass others easily. She must be in a bad mood today, and you happened to bump into her."

"You go back today, Falcon Bai, and ask the imperial doctor to take a look at Xiaohe!"

After Leng Aotian gave the instructions, he opened the door and walked in. Xian Bai helped Xiaohe up.

Xiao He watched Leng Aotian leave in shock. Could it be that his kneeling all day was in vain?

I have been following Leng Aotian and went to many places with Leng Aotian. Why did Leng Aotian just say a few words in such a hasty manner.

"Xiaohe, I'll take you back." Falcon Bai helped Xiaohe up with one hand.

"Shan Bai, when other women fight with Concubine Hao, the Crown Prince will always side with other women. This time Concubine Hao treated me like this, why doesn't His Highness stand with me?"

Falcon's white eyebrows furrowed.

"You and I have been following His Highness for so many years, and you have lost your composure today."

Falcon Bai glanced at the door and sent Xiao He back impatiently.

"It's not convenient to say this just now, Xiaohe. For the sake of us growing up together, I would like to advise you."

"The other women you just mentioned are His Highness's concubines, and you and I are His Highness's guards."

"They are the masters and we are the servants. Your Highness naturally stands by his own woman. You should not compete with them."

"I have been with His Highness since I was a child. His heart is naturally different from other women. Why can they be His Highness's women, but I can't?" Xiao He asked Shen Bai angrily.

"Xiaohe, you've lost your composure now. I'll just pretend that nothing happened just now. Think about it carefully and I'll have someone call the imperial doctor for you."

Xiaohe also realized that she had gone too far. She turned around and lay on the bed.

"Stay back first! Let the doctor come over quickly." Xiao He didn't want his leg to be injured.

After hearing this, Falcon Bai paused and frowned.

The tone of Xiao He's words just now seemed to be that he regarded himself as his master.

Falcon Bai shook his head, thinking:

"No wonder His Highness has always been alienated from Xiao He, and even said that he would marry Xiao He to someone else. I guess he has discovered Xiao He's dirty thoughts a long time ago."

Shuan Bai called the imperial doctor. He felt that something about Xiao He was unreasonable, so he went on duty in the courtyard of Magnolia Palace.

"How is Xiaohe?" Xiaoying asked Falcon Bai from the side.

Falcon Bai glanced at Xiaoying, and then quickly shifted his gaze.

"As a good sister who grew up with her, please advise her more when you have time. His Highness is not something she can imagine."

"Otherwise, if His Highness is angered, no one can protect her."

"I've tried to persuade her, but she won't listen." Xiaoying said she was helpless.
