King Hao Ling sighed, "Forget it. I can't cure you if I keep you here. It's better to let you go as you said. With your intelligence and connections, there may be some hope. You can leave the palace with Feng Long now! Remember, your body and your life are no longer your own. You must protect them! If you encounter difficulties, you can send a letter to Xuanxuan or me."

I was delighted to be acquitted, and after a week of prayers, I said, "King Haoling is wise, thank you, Your Majesty! Lanxiang will do her best to find a way to cure the poison as soon as possible!"

King Hao Ling glanced at me and said, "It would be best if it were as you said. Don't even think about hiding anywhere. Even if it takes the whole country's strength, I can find you back."

I bowed again and again: "I dare not, I dare not!"

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Tu Shanjing, Feng Long and Gui Fangduan also said goodbye.

Fenglong took the lead, I followed behind him, and Guifangduan followed closely behind, turning around to go out.

I heard King Hao Ling say to Tu Shan Jing who was at the back, "Little fox from Qing Qiu, I heard that your fiancée who had worked hard for you for many years was rejected by you?"

Tu Shanjing replied calmly: "Your Majesty, she participated in my kidnapping, so it is difficult for her to have a happy marriage with him again."

King Hao Ling remained silent, probably trying to assess whether he was a scheming scumbag. He finally said, "Forget it, you can go too."

Tu Shanjing then withdrew respectfully.

We walked out of the door in silence for a while, until we were far enough away from Tongque Pavilion. Feng Long wiped his forehead and said, "Wow! That was close! Fortunately, King Haoling is a sensible emperor and didn't hold you captive! The princess felt your pain and was very worried!"

I asked, "Is she okay?"

Feng Long raised his hand and said, "It's okay! Brother Jing was originally discussing with me how to tell His Majesty, and she ran over in a panic and said that she was in pain and worried about you. When we left, she chased after us and said that it was okay, and told us not to be too anxious and be careful not to reveal any flaws. Right, Brother Jing?"

Tu Shanjing was rarely distracted, his eyes were blank at this moment, and after a long while he responded with "Ah, yes".

So Fenglong smiled and didn't ask him any more questions. He bowed to Guifang and said, "Master Guifang also came to rescue me. Thank you very much."

Gui Fangduan bowed to him calmly: "Master Chishui, thank you for your courtesy." Then he turned and stared at me: "I didn't know you were his concubine."

I know he might be a little annoyed, but I couldn't say anything in front of so many people. Now looking at his reaction, he still can't let it go.

So I carefully replied: "Sorry, I forgot before and didn't have time to tell you."

Gui Fangduan smiled and said, "Maybe it's not important, so you don't have to tell me. Think about it again, is there anything else you haven't told me yet, why not tell me all at once?" After saying that, he grabbed my wrist.

A hand stretched out diagonally to stop him, and Tu Shanjing said quietly: "She has an old injury on her wrist, don't hurt her."

Gui Fangduan let go of my wrist with an angry look on his face, and said to Tu Shanjing word by word: "You should be thankful that swords are not allowed in the palace, otherwise I really want to chop you with a sword right now!"

I stood between them and looked at Gui Fangduan: "Have you forgotten what I asked you to promise before I gave you the Tu Ling Sword? Besides, the Tu Ling Sword was returned intact to Zhao because of his desperate struggle."

Gui Fangduan raised his hand to touch his earlobe and lowered his eyes: "I remember you told me to never hurt him. You always protected him and were mean to me."

Tu Shanjing looked at me in surprise.

I didn't dare to look him in the eye, and I just comforted Gui Fangduan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just can't--"

Gui Fangduan smiled: "I know. You just can't help yourself, and so can I." After saying that, he turned around and said: "I'm going home. If you have anything, please send a message to Wanfeng Manor."

Then he flew away, leaving us with only his thin back.

Tu Shanjing looked at me and said, "Shall we go back to Chenyi City first? I, I still have many things to ask you."

Before I could answer, a pretty figure in gorgeous clothes appeared in my sight. Xiaoyao waved and shouted from a distance: "Jing~Did you rescue Lanxiang?"

I looked at Tu Shanjing and replied, "I'm going back to Chenyi City. You should stay here. King Haoling will not allow you to leave with me at this time. Don't ask me any questions."

Tu Shanjing looked at me for a long time and nodded slightly.

Xiaoyao ran over and took my hand. "How are you? It hurt so much just now. Did father hit you? I'm sorry!"

I shook my head: "Thank you, Your Highness, I'm fine."

She pretended to be angry and said, "There is no outsider here, will I be angry if you call me Princess Da Wang again?"

I smiled: "Okay, thank you, Xiaoyao."

Xiaoyao said again: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, stay with me for dinner before going back?"

I smiled bitterly, "Not this time. I finally managed to escape. I have to get away before your father changes his mind."

Xiao Yao smiled and said, "That's right! Don't blame him, he just cares too much about me. Have a safe trip, I'm going back to Qingshui Town later, we'll meet again then! Take your time with the Gu, I'm not afraid anyway." After that, she took Tu Shanjing's hand again: "Jing, I have something to tell you."

I wanted to escape immediately, so I calmed myself down and bowed: "Since you two still have things to do, Master Fenglong and I will leave first."

Feng Long also bowed and said, "Brother Jing, Princess, let's meet again some other day!"

After saying that, he called over his Bifang bird, and he and I rode on it, watching the figures of Tu Shanjing and Xiaoyao getting smaller and smaller in the sky.

Feng Long asked me, "They said they are going to Qingshui Town later. Are you going? Or are you coming back to Chenyi City with me?"

I didn't want to go to Chenyi City, fearing that I might run into the unruly Xinyue, so I replied, "Then please take me to Qingshui Town. I have a younger sister there. I will wait for them in Qingshui Town and will not go with you."

Fenglong agreed and flew me all the way back to Qingshui Town.

Xiaowei had been spending some time alone and was very bored. She was so happy to see me come back.

She also asked me about Tushan Mansion. I could see from her expression that she still missed the days in Tushan Mansion.

I told her everything, and finally told her the life story that Nanfeng asked me to tell her. I also gave her a map of Qiongshan and told her what the area near the spring looked like so that she could find her father's tomb in the future. Naturally, she couldn't avoid crying again. Fortunately, she had bird blood, so she could fly down the cliff without a mount.

I comforted her for a long time, and finally she recovered from her sadness and told me that after a while, when things were settled, she would go back to Tushan Prefecture to visit her mother.

Another day passed, and the black pork I ordered arrived. Coincidentally, Xiaoyao sent her maid to tell me that she had returned to Qingshui Town. I took some of the best black pork and planned to send it to Xianyu Mansion. After Xiaoyao and I had dinner, I would send it to my eighteenth brother who had always wanted to "go with the black pork" to satisfy his craving.

Xiao Yao was very happy to see me. She set up a table of wine and food in the yard, and asked the maid to fry the black pork I brought. When I put it in my mouth, I found that the meat was tender and full of fragrance. No wonder Eighteenth Brother had been thinking about it for so long.

"Shiqi, no, Jing, Jing went out to do some work and will be back soon." Xiao Yao took the initiative to talk to me.

I smiled and nodded, without saying anything, and clinked glasses with her.

Xiaoyao was just about to drink when the air in the yard suddenly became cold. A white figure approached and knocked over the wine in her hand.

"You betrayed me!" Xiangliu's hateful voice rang out.
