After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

After Princess Liyang got off the carriage, a hoarse voice came from behind her.

"and many more."

Princess Liyang turned around and saw Zhaoge getting down from the carriage in a daze.

She lowered her eyes, "I'll go with you."

Princess Liyang wanted to refuse her, but just as the words came to her throat, Pei Yu's face appeared in her mind.

Forget it.

He must want to see her.

"...Then follow me." After saying that, Princess Liyang suppressed her heartache and got on the boat without looking back.

A small boat gradually went away on the calm lake. After an unknown amount of time, the morning light gradually appeared on the horizon, tearing through the darkness and illuminating the earth.

Zhao Ge looked at the seemingly endless river surface, silent all the way.

I wonder if Ali has woken up now?

I think Li Yang only put a drug that causes coma in the wine, and Ali shouldn't be hurt.

He would wake up soon, find that she was gone, and look for her everywhere in worry.

Zhao Ge didn't want to make Yuan Jinglie worry, but she was so upset that she couldn't take care of everyone anymore.

...

In the palace.

When Yuan Jinglie woke up, the sun in the sky was at its hottest.

"Zhao Zhao!" He opened his eyes, his face still a little pale, and grabbed Xiao Yanzi's sleeve, "Where's Zhao Zhao?"

Xiao Yanzi said fearfully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the palace has already sent people out to look for her..."

"What?" Yuan Jinglie said with a straight face, "That crazy woman took Zhao Zhao out of the palace."

"Yes... yes. When the guards were changing shifts at the palace today, they talked about what happened last night. They said that Miss Zhaoge and Princess Liyang had left the palace. One of the guards on duty felt something was wrong and came to report it."

Xiao Yanzi explained to him one by one: "Then, I immediately sent someone to investigate. The person I sent said that at night, a carriage left the city, and the person inside was holding a token from the palace. I think it was Miss Zhaoge."

Yuan Jinglie gritted his teeth and suddenly stood up from the bed, "She dared to kidnap Zhaoge! Quick, immediately send people to search for Liyang in the entire Fengjing, and also the water routes, the water routes must also be checked! Go now!"

"Yes!" Xiao Yanzi immediately accepted the order.

On that day, half of the palace guards were sent out to search for Li Yang and Zhao Ge in every possible way.

The message from the palace was quickly and urgently transmitted to several nearby cities, especially those along the Xiangyang River. They closed off the waterways one after another, and all passing ships were required to be searched.

The effect of this was obvious. At noon the next day, Zhao Ge and her crew's boat was stuck in Yancheng.

In front of this small boat, there were two large ships carrying cargo.

At first, with the cover of the two large ships, their small boat could go unnoticed. But after the large ship was searched, the small boat that was parked on the river and dared not pass by soon aroused suspicion.

"They are coming!" exclaimed the coachman who was traveling with Liyang.

Li Yang pursed her lips tightly and looked at Zhao Ge: "What should I do?"

"It's okay." Zhao Ge didn't show any expression, but just said: "I'll go and talk to them."

Princess Liyang stopped her and said, "You are crazy. What's the point of explaining it clearly? How can Yuan Jinglie let you go?"

Zhao Ge looked back at her and smiled: "Don't worry, A Lie won't force me."

Li Yang paused.

She watched Zhao Ge walk out and waved calmly to the guards on the boat.

"It's the Queen!" The guard saluted quickly and said, "Your humble servant greets the Queen. Your Majesty, please come back with us quickly. His Majesty is worried sick when he knows you're missing!"

"I'm not going back. I have things to do."

Zhao Ge said, "Go back for me and tell His Majesty that I will only be gone for a while and tell him not to worry."

"But...but..."

"Don't say buts anymore. You just called me Queen, so now, as the Queen, I ask you to go back immediately and tell His Majesty what I said. Also, don't worry, His Majesty will not vent his anger on you. He is not that kind of person."

After saying that, Zhao Ge returned to the boat.

The guards outside looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and finally had to move away.

After all, if I go back and report to His Majesty, there might still be a chance of survival.

But if they offend the Queen and make her do something out of excitement, His Majesty will definitely kill them!

The boat sailed away and the guards quickly returned to the palace.

When Yuan Jinglie learned what had happened, he tightly grasped the dragon throne with both hands, his eyes filled with confusion and silence.

"Why?" he murmured to himself, "Our wedding day will be here soon, why would she leave?"

I still went with Liyang.

Could it be that this crazy woman knew Zhao Ge before this? Why didn't Zhao Ge tell him?

With too many doubts and worries in his heart, Yuan Jinglie maintained that posture for a long time without moving.

Xiao Yanzi bravely tried to comfort him: "Your Majesty, you and the Queen have such a good relationship. I think the Queen must have something important to do, so she left without saying goodbye."

But Yuan Jinglie's eyes dimmed and he laughed at himself, "Yes, you know she left without saying goodbye."

He actually thought that she was kidnapped by Li Yang.

Why can't you tell him where you are going and who you want to meet?

He had always respected her, just like now, as soon as she showed up, he immediately ordered all the searchers to withdraw.

But why couldn't she be more open with him...

Xiao Yanzi looked at his dazed profile and didn't dare to speak again.

...

It was five days later when we arrived in Nanqin.

The capital of Southern Qin was called Dongdu, and it was extremely prosperous. In comparison, Fengjing seemed to pale in comparison.

But Zhaoge had no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Dongdu. She felt that she stank all over after sleeping in the open air all the way. When she looked at Liyang, she found that she was not much better.

"I need to take a shower and change my clothes." Zhao Ge said.

Princess Liyang frowned: "I thought you would go see Pei Yu immediately."

"You want me to meet him like this. I'm embarrassed even for you." What if he gets smoked? It would be embarrassing.

Li Yang looked at her for a few times and snorted, "You seem to care a lot about your image in front of him."

"…I just want to be presentable." She whispered.

Afterwards, Liyang took Zhaoge to the princess's mansion in Dongdu.

She had always been favored by the Qin Emperor and had never married, so he built a magnificent mansion for her in the best location in the city.

After taking a bath, Zhaoge put on Liyang's clothes.

When we came out, the carriage was parked outside.

"Xiaodie will take you there. He lives in a villa in a valley in the eastern suburbs. There are many plum blossoms planted around it, so it is easy to see." Liyang also changed her clothes. Her long black hair was draped behind her and was taken care of by the maids.

Zhao Ge asked, "Aren't you going?"

"I am not interested in watching you two talk about your innermost feelings. I am afraid I will kill you if I cannot help myself."

"..."

Zhao Ge didn't ask any more questions, turned around and followed Xiaodie out of the princess's mansion.

As she got closer to the eastern suburbs, her breathing became more and more rapid.

After getting off the carriage, she walked towards the valley and gradually saw a cloud of red plum blossoms.

Among the layers of petals that look like blazing flames, goose yellow stamens bloom, densely hanging on the branches.

In this winter when all flowers are withering, plum blossoms stand out.

Zhao Ge looked at the petals and suddenly thought of the pot of petals that Yuan Jinglie had given her.

Once, a neighbor came to visit our house and pointed to the pot of plum blossoms that had just opened their buds. He said that it was a variety unique to Nanqin, called the Fiery Red Plum, because its petals were particularly bright.

There is no such variety of Nanchu.

Zhao Ge realized something and burst into tears.
