"Qinghe?" Xu Qingqing confirmed her identity first.

The scholar agreed, and hurriedly grabbed Xu Qingqing's hand.

Xu Qingqing was puzzled by one thing after confirming that King Yan was in the personality of a scholar.Why did King Yan suddenly become a scholar after hearing the news that she was pregnant.He only transforms into a scholar personality when he feels sad or painful and recalls his childhood experiences.So it was her pregnancy that made King Yan feel pain?

Xu Qingqing took a breath slowly, trying to maintain a balanced state of mind towards the scholar: "But I still have family members, if I leave, what should they do?"

"Death escape." The scholar looked at Xu Qingqing very seriously, "I have already thought of a way, as long as you are willing."

Xu Qingqing raised her eyebrows, wondering whether she wanted it or not.

"Qingqing, you have to think about it. If you are with me, you will wander the world and live an ordinary life. But I will treat you well for the rest of my life, and I will never let you down, and I will never let you suffer. A little bit of hardship. From now on, I will do the rough work at home, fetching water and fire, cooking and laundry, repairing the house and farming, I can do it. You just need to stay at home and study the medicine you like."

As the scholar said, he lowered his head in embarrassment, and when he looked up again, he looked at Xu Qingqing with serious and longing eyes, and sincerely asked her again if she would like to elope with him.

Xu Qingqing nodded by accident.She really couldn't bear to refuse the scholar's earnest and pious appearance.Besides, if she rejects the scholar, the scholar will definitely be very sad, so when will he be able to call King Yan back?She was still waiting for King Yan to come back, so she could settle accounts with him, ask him what was going on, and why he would be so sad when he heard the news of her pregnancy...

"Really?" The scholar laughed happily, with gentle rippling in his brows and eyes, like a child who is happy when he gets candy.

"Yes, I agree, but I can't let you do all the work, and I have to share it." Xu Qingqing grabbed the scholar's hand and crossed his fingers.

Seeing this, the scholar laughed again, looking at Xu Qingqing with affection in his eyes.

"I'm going to find my cousin right now, and ask him to help find a similar female corpse, and get two sets of the same dress. After I arrange everything, you will wear one of the dresses, and use the excuse of picking herbs on the mountain alone." , I’ll wait for you at the bottom of the mountain with my luggage and carriage ready, and we’ll go straight. There will be a female corpse that has fallen beyond recognition at the foot of the cliff, and those people will judge it is you from the clothes and hair accessories.” After finishing speaking, the scholar pushed door out.

Xu Qingqing stood up and observed the scholar's reaction.Now that they are no longer in Ping'an Temple, but in the mansion in the capital, she wants to know how the scholar adapts to the changes in the environment.The scholar chose to automatically ignore the changes in the previous time and environment.But this time, in the 'plan' he just mentioned, there was a concept of peace and going to the mountains to collect herbs, but now all of this is gone.

After going out, the scholar stopped and was obviously stunned. After realizing that the surrounding environment had changed, he immediately turned back and asked Xu Qingqing with some doubts where they were now.

"The capital."

"The capital? Why are we in the capital?" The scholar became even more confused, and tried his best to search for relevant memories in his mind, but he couldn't remember anything, and the more he thought about it, the more he had a headache.

The scholar frowned, put his hands on his forehead, and sat on the edge of the couch, thinking hard while muttering.

"Why did we come to the capital, why..."

"Why did we come to the capital, why..."

"Why did we come to the capital, why..."

Xu Qingqing listened to him repeating the words three times in a loop, and she didn't expect well. This should be the situation that Qiu Fu said that the scholar will collapse soon.

"Why did you forget it after sleeping, we came to Beijing for the New Year." Xu Qingqing gave the scholar an ambiguous explanation, which of course was the truth.But if a normal person hears such an explanation at first, they will definitely have many questions, such as why we suddenly came to Beijing for the New Year when we stayed in Fengyang City well before.

"Look at my memory, maybe I've slept a lot these days, and I'm still in a daze." After hearing Xu Qingqing's explanation, the scholar immediately adapted to this statement and did not question it.

Xu Qingqing felt that her guess was right. Subconsciously, the cognition of the scholar and King Yan was actually interlinked, but they didn't realize it.

Xu Qingqing decided to test the scholar again, "I made bird's nest porridge in the kitchen, can you go and bring it for me?"

The scholar has always been gentle and doesn't reject people, so he naturally agreed and went out.

Xu Qingqing immediately ordered everyone in the mansion to evacuate to other places, and must not appear in front of the prince.The reason is that the prince has a violent temper now and needs to be alone to think quietly. Anyone who dares to take the lead casually will not pay for his life if something happens to him.The servants in the mansion were already afraid of King Yan. After hearing this warning, they didn't dare to be negligent for a moment, regardless of whether they were meeting the face or sweeping the floor, they immediately dropped the work they were doing, and they didn't even dare to wash their hands. , Dissipated in the blink of an eye, not a single person was left behind.

Xu Qingqing has been following the scholar. Seeing that the scholar left the yard, he first looked around the surrounding environment. Since there was no one to ask for directions, he tentatively searched for it.In the end, he didn't go wrong halfway, and he arrived at the kitchen directly.

When the scholar went to serve the bird's nest porridge, Xu Qingqing turned back to her room.

Xu Qingqing was pondering the possibility of curing the disease, and now she could try to let the scholar and King Yan 'communicate' with each other.Once the scholar is willing to admit the existence of King Yan, the disease may have a chance to be cured.

When eating with the scholar at night, the scholar always picks up vegetables for Xu Qingqing, and every time he picks up her favorite dishes.Xu Qingqing knew that the scholar must have observed it specially, so she couldn't help being a little moved.

Xu Qingqing's "frustration" about becoming a scholar because of King Yan's sadness before was all dispelled by the scholar's warm behavior now.

"Are your parents okay?" the scholar asked.

"Well, it's all good." After Xu Qingqing agreed, she found that the scholar was smiling reluctantly, and when she lowered her head to eat silently, her eyes were downcast, as if something was on her mind.

Xu Qingqing pondered for a while, except that the scholar was confused about some environmental issues, he was never stupid in other things, after all, he and King Yan shared the same head.

The question that can make a scholar so lonely but avoid mentioning it must be King Yan.Just now when she said that they went back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year together, the scholar would definitely think that she has the status of Princess Yan, so she would inevitably enter the palace with King Yan to watch the New Year during the New Year.

He probably really wanted to ask about her and King Yan, but he was afraid of embarrassing or making her feel sad if he asked, so he refrained from asking.But I didn't ask and I couldn't help thinking about it, so I pressed a stone there.

I care about it because I care about it, and I dare not care about it because I care about it.

After Xu Qingqing ate up the full bowl of vegetables the scholar gave her, she smiled and pinched the scholar's face.

"Let's elope tomorrow night, okay? I'll arrange it."

Joy finally appeared on the scholar's lonely face, and even his eyes shimmered.

"But your family—"

"No one is as important as you, because you also regard me as the most important person. You not only sacrificed your future, but also chose to be with me at the risk of your own life." When Xu Qingqing said this, the scholar's eyes flickered. Tears came out, and I couldn't help but my eyes were hot, "You are so kind to me, how can I let you down."

"Qingqing," the scholar suddenly hugged Xu Qingqing, "Thank you."

"Oh, what are you thanking me for? Hurry up and finish the meal first." Xu Qingqing filled another bowl of rice for the scholar, and told him to eat more so that he could run faster when he eloped.

The scholar was really obedient and ate another bowl of rice.

After the meal, Xu Qingqing brought all kinds of desserts. They all said that eating sweets would make people feel happy, so Xu Qingqing decided to try to see if this method could recall the scholar.

Zhu Di with a scholarly personality doesn't dislike sweets, and he never refuses Xu Qingqing's recommendation. He eats whatever Xu Qingqing says is delicious, and he is very obedient.

Seeing that the scholar still didn't respond after eating, Xu Qingqing decided to change the trick, "I'll feed you."

Xu Qingqing immediately brought the snack to the scholar's mouth. The scholar was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes shyly, moved his mouth to the side of the snack in embarrassment, and only took a small bite.The scholar immediately blushed, and it was completely red.

Seeing this, Xu Qingqing leaned up and kissed him lightly on the cheek, and the scholar's face immediately turned redder.Although he knew that the same trick could not be used to call King Yan back, Xu Qingqing still wanted to tease the scholar like this, because his red face was so attractive that people wanted to bully him.

After the two bid farewell in the evening, the scholar was arranged to rest in the courtyard next door.But he didn't really rest, but asked Qiu Fu for wood and a carving knife, stayed up all night, and carved the little wooden figure he had promised to give back to Xu Qingqing.

The scholar didn't go to bed until dawn, and he fell asleep on the couch before he had time to change his clothes.After hearing Qiu Fu's reply, Xu Qingqing was moved and distressed. After covering him with a quilt, she saw the small wooden figures carved on the table.With a round face, big eyes, wearing a Taoist robe, and holding a dust whisk in a serious manner, it looks a lot like her.

Xu Qingqing put the wooden figurine back to its original position, tiptoed out of the door, and closed the door quietly.

At this time, a guard hurriedly came outside, looking very anxious.

After listening to the man's reply, Qiu Fu's face became heavy, and he immediately looked in the direction where Xu Qingqing was.

Xu Qingqing walked out quickly, telling Qiu Fu to speak up if he had something to do.

"Prime Minister Hu is here." Qiu Fu and Xu Qingqing carefully explained, "There was a post from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the lord the day before yesterday. After the lord read it, he didn't specifically explain it. Looking at it now, the post about today is probably about today." coming to visit."

"Find an excuse to send people away." Xu Qingqing said flatly.

Given the current situation of the scholar, it is absolutely impossible to see Hu Weiyong.This Hu Weiyong is a person who can make troubles better than King Jin, and he will kill people. Seeing him is no different from seeking his own death.

"Others are fine, but this Prime Minister Hu can't get rid of it with any excuse. Prime Minister Hu knew that the prince is in the mansion, and he sent invitations with great fanfare before. If the prince avoids seeing him, he will inevitably be violent Rumors of being arrogant and despising the prime minister of the dynasty spread. Now that the prince is old and is no longer a child, if such a reputation spreads again, it will be extremely bad for the future of the prince."

"Leave it out again?" Xu Qingqing grasped the key words.

"My lord's methods of dealing with evildoers are indeed cruel, but they are not as terrible as the rumors say. In fact, the lord's bad reputation outside the country is all thanks to Prime Minister Hu."

Qiu Fu briefly summarized the previous situation. The prince had refused to see Hu Weiyong twice before. Among the princes, the prince was the only one who was not flattering and never gave gifts to Hu Weiyong's birthday, so Hu Weiyong was particularly displeased with the prince.

"Prime Minister Hu's coming this time, I'm afraid he was well prepared, and he may have mentioned it before His Majesty. If the prince still does not see Hu Weiyong behind closed doors this time, it will be difficult to explain to His Majesty later."

Of course, Qiu Fu also understood that it was really inappropriate to meet Hu Weiyong in the prince's current situation.Rather than exposing the prince's strange disease, it is better to choose to completely offend Hu Weiyong.But Qiu Fu always felt that now that Princess Yan was here, with her intelligence, there might be a way to preserve everything, which would save a lot of trouble.

"Let me think about it." Xu Qingqing ordered the best tea in the mansion to be served to Hu Weiyong first.

After Xu Qingqing thought about it for a while, she ordered Qiu Fu to fetch Anshenxiang and light it in the prince's room first, and then tidy up the things in the room so as not to show any flaws.

"Did the prince copy scriptures and other things before?" Xu Qingqing asked.

"Yes." Qiu Fu hurriedly followed Xu Qingqing's request, and went to the study to find out the scriptures that the prince had copied, and arranged them again.

Xu Qingqing took Biluo, Wanchun and others to meet Hu Weiyong first.

Hu Weiyong had just blown the tea so that he could drink it, and he was quite surprised to hear that the person calling from the newspaper was 'Princess Yan'.But he still sat firmly in the same place, took a sip of tea before getting up, and then slowly saluted Yan Wangfei who walked in with a group of popular people.

"Prime Minister Hu is too polite! Cheng Hu is a talented man with a wealth of knowledge. He often teaches and solves problems for the kings. Logically, he can be regarded as the mentor of the princes. It should be me, a junior, who salutes Prime Minister Hu." Xu Qingqing After sitting down dignifiedly, he said these kind words.

These words were obviously not sincere, if they were sincere, where would they sit down at this moment, they would just come to salute him.

Hu Weiyong couldn't help taking a high look at Xu Qingqing. The women in Beijing were widely rumoring that Xu Da's eldest daughter was born in the countryside and couldn't make it to the stage.If they saw Xu's behavior today, who would dare to say it?Hu Weiyong had long heard that on New Year's Eve this year, Xu's suona song was highly praised by the emperor.At that time, I thought it was lucky that Xu's blind cat killed the mouse, but it happened that Jing'er was in line with the emperor's wishes, and because she was the eldest daughter of Xu Da, she was given special preferential treatment.Looking at it now, he looked down on her before.

"The concubine is absurdly praised, and I am ashamed to be an official."

Hu Weiyong took a special look at the door, and after making sure that no one would come, Fang went to ask Xu Qing.

"I don't know where King Yan is now? I'm here to pay a visit to King Yan today."

"Tired and dizzy," Xu Qingqing immediately said halfway, "My lord stayed up all night last night——"

Hu Weiyong was stunned, he didn't expect that Princess Yan would be so 'straightforward', even dare to speak out this kind of secret between husband and wife in front of outsiders.Should he take back what he said, this is clearly a rude and ignorant woman from the countryside, even worse than mud legs.

"Will Prime Minister Hu still want to see you?" Xu Qingqing asked again.

Hu Weiyong was taken aback by Xu Qingqing's question again.He didn't know whether he should see him or not, but it seemed that there was no need to see the prince.Based on what Princess Yan said just now, as long as he leaves this door, he can completely ruin King Yan's reputation.

"Since the lord is coughing...he is tired, I won't bother you." Hu Weiyong got up and wanted to leave.

"Yes, in order to copy the scriptures for the empress, the prince has been up for several nights and has not been able to take a good rest. In the future, I will ask Prime Minister Hu to help persuade me, it is better to be moderate."

Xu Qingqing completed the words, then got up, and apologized to Hu Weiyong, and thanked him for his understanding.

"I'm going to Fengyang soon. The prince must be eager to finish the copying of the scriptures. He forgot to see Prime Minister Hu today, and hoped that Prime Minister Hu would be happy."

Hu Weiyong's breath is stuffed in his chest and there is no way to relieve it. He never thought that he, an old loach in the officialdom, would be negligent today, and be put on by the young Princess Yan.

Princess Yan first said an ambiguous sentence that made him misunderstand, and when he decided to leave, she completed the sentence and told him that the prince was dizzy because of 'filial piety'.What else could he say, could it be that the prince neglected himself because of his filial piety?If he dared to spread this word, he would not survive three days in front of the emperor.

"The filial piety of the prince is admirable. I don't know if the official can have the honor to visit the prince? One is concerned about the prince's body, and the other is that the official can learn how to behave filial piety from the prince." Hu Weiyong said.

"Prime Minister Hu is humble. In terms of filial piety, the prime minister's eldest son is not inferior to others." Xu Qingqing praised.

When Hu Weiyong heard Xu Qingqing mention Juan, he couldn't help but think of the matter of his son marrying Xu's "adopted daughter" a few days ago, and became even more worried.This Princess Yan is probably doing it on purpose!

"The concubine is highly praised, and the unfilial son of the lower official has nothing to do with it." Hu Weiyong casually said a word that was not wrong.

"How can it be, the so-called 'not marrying and having no children, never offering sacrifices to ancestors' is unfilial. Mr. Hu will never let Prime Minister Hu worry about this. Isn't it just filial piety." Xu Qingqing sarcastically said.

Hu Weiyong's eyes widened, but due to his poor status, he didn't dare to make trouble in front of Xu Qingqing, so he had to grit his back teeth and endure it.It's nothing more than a young and energetic little girl with yellow hair, what's the use of showing off her tongue for a while, the best thing is to laugh at the end.

Xu Qingqing then took Hu Weiyong to the room where Zhu Di slept.

After Hu Weiyong entered the room, he first saw a stack of scriptures more than a foot high on the table, and there were still half-written scriptures on the table.King Yan was lying on the couch and fell asleep with his eyes closed, unaware of their entry.

Hu Weiyong was still wondering if King Yan would pretend, but after witnessing it with his own eyes, he was sure that King Yan really fell asleep.

Hu Weiyong left angrily.The scholar slept until the afternoon before waking up.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to look for the little man he had just carved. After learning that Xu Qingqing had taken him away, the scholar was secretly happy.

Xu Qingqing then entered the door with ginseng soup to let the scholar make up his body.

The scholar had another thing on his mind, "Are we really going to elope tonight?"

"Well, I can't be more serious. I'll call you in the evening."

When it was midnight, the north wind was blowing.

The coolness invaded the skin on the neck, making people shiver for no reason.

Xu Qingqing led the scholar out quietly through the back door of the mansion, and then the two carried their luggage and walked along the road to the west of the city.

The reason why the two of them didn't take the carriage was because there was a curfew and no carriages or horses were allowed on the main road.

Not long after he left, there was a faint light of fire behind him.

The scholar looked back and asked Xu Qingqing in surprise what was going on.

"It was your idea to escape. But instead of falling off a cliff, I went into the water instead. Don't worry, with your cousin Qiu Fu taking care of us, we guarantee that there will be no problems."

Hearing this, the scholar nodded slowly, looked at the happy Xu Qingqing, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he took Xu Qingqing's hand and interlocked her fingers.

"Now I can get rid of the identity of Princess Yan, and I will only be with you from now on," Xu Qingqing smiled and swung the arms of the two holding hands, wanting to move on, but was suddenly pulled into her arms by the other party. The strength is very domineering.

"Get rid of the identity of Princess Yan, huh?" A cool voice came from above Xu Qingqing's Tianling Gai, and the chilly feeling of ice instantly invaded her whole body and jumped to the soles of her feet.

"Wang... the lord is back?" Xu Qingqing felt helpless when she recognized those familiar deep black eyes in the dark night.

Why did King Yan come back when she said this?The scholar's sense of happiness came too suddenly. Knowing that she set fire to her and abandoned her status as Princess Yan, would she be instantly happy?Anyway, you have to listen to her touching words before leaving.

The hands of the two were still interlocking, Zhu Di immediately raised this hand, and motioned for Xu Qingqing to take a good look at what she had done, "I want to get rid of this king, and I will only accompany him when I am pregnant with this king's child." ,Is it?"

"My lord, don't be serious. The scholar is worried about being discovered by you, so he proposed to elope, which is actually reasonable. If I don't agree, follow his wishes and make him happy, he will definitely feel sad endlessly. Then Will the prince come back? I am trying to find the prince and coax him."

When Xu Qingqing explained in words, she suddenly felt that she was really like a scumbag hovering between two men, and a sense of betrayal and guilt arose in her heart.

After hearing Xu Qingqing's explanation, Zhu Di remained silent and stopped talking, but the hands intertwined with Xu Qingqing suddenly tightened their strength.This gave Xu Qingqing the illusion of being tortured.

The dog man is still confident.

"I would like to ask the prince, why did the prince feel sad when I told the news of the pregnancy, and suddenly became a scholar?" Xu Qingqing also asked Zhu Di, "Does the prince not like this child? Or does he not want me to give it to him?" The prince is having a baby?"

"Hugh Huqin!"

Zhu Di hurriedly let go of the hand that pinched Xu Qingqing's fingers, wrapped his arms around Xu Qingqing's shoulders, and gently hugged Xu Qingqing in his arms.After a while, he responded to Xu Qingqing's two questions.

"I like it, I want it."

"My lord is lying! My lord clearly doesn't like this child, because I don't like it, I feel uncomfortable and painful. If I like it, I should feel happy. I can raise the child by myself, and my lord can restore the previous conditions. After the illness is cured, please The lord let our mother and son go." Xu Qingqing said relentlessly.

I'm sorry for you, who told you to be so good at torturing people, how can you do it without paying a price!
