teacher said

Shang Qingdai took the bag of things, and asked suspiciously: "What is this?" While speaking, he opened the things, and a faint fragrance of flowers came to his nostrils, without Du Ruo answering, she already knew that this was tea mixed with kudzu root flowers cake.

"The kudzu root flower sobers up the hangover, but it is slightly poisonous. Master, just eat a few pieces." Du Ruo added softly.

The blush on Shang Qingdai's cheeks suddenly became more intense, she nodded silently, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and said with relaxed eyebrows: "How did you think of bringing this here?"

Du Ruo smiled shyly, "I've never drank alcohol. I was afraid that I would be rude in the hall today, so I secretly hid this."

Shang Qingdai ate another piece, rewrapped the tea cake, put it in the pouch on the side of the saddle, and said lightly: "It's better not to drink alcohol, maybe I can use this tea cake in the future, take it first gone."

Du Ruo nodded, twisting the reins in his hands, even though he was reluctant, he still opened his mouth and said, "Master, we should go."

"En." Shang Qingdai was taken aback for a moment, then nodded sadly.

Du Ruo took the reins and led the horse to walk on the imperial street. At that time, the moon was as bright as water, and the moonlight made the shadows of the two horses very long.

There are only faint buds of smoked willows on both sides of the strait, and the evening wind is still chilling. How many such peaceful nights will there be?

Just as the night will end, so will the road.

When the two walked to the end of Yujie without a word, Du Ruo stopped for a long time before turning around and asking guiltily, "Master, can I see you for a while?"

"You and I have a different way back..." Shang Qingdai was unable to continue speaking again. She looked at the disappointment on Du Ruo's face and said coldly, "I am not only your wife, I am also a soul." The eldest lady of the Privy Council..." He hesitated to speak, Shang Qingdai turned his face away, afraid that if he looked at her for too long, his heart would become softer.

Du Ruo lowered her eyes sadly, and called out in a low voice, "Master..."

Ah Ruo...

This call, Shang Qingdai could only bite her throat tightly, she stretched out her hand coldly, "Your parents are still waiting for you, give me the reins, it's getting late, you should go back .”

"Miss Shang, please stay!"

Suddenly, a fast horse galloped towards the palace, and a small servant immediately sat on it.

"Call-"

The little servant stopped the horse in front of Shang Qingdai, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty ordered me to invite Miss Shang to the other courtyard outside the palace."

Du Ruo subconsciously grabbed the rein tightly, shook her head and said, "It's getting late, Master's feet are still injured!"

The servant gave Du Ruo a blank look, and said, "Little girl, this is an imperial decree, if you don't follow the decree, you will be beheaded!"

"Even if I die, I won't let Master go to the appointment!" Du Ruo stood in front of Master's horse with her small body, straightened her back, "Master, I will not let you go to the appointment!"

"Nonsense!" Shang Qingdai yelled.

"Master!" Du Ruo looked up at Shang Qingdai, her eyes full of sadness, "Your Majesty clearly wants to..." She couldn't tell the truth, so she could only hold the reins tightly and prevent Shang Qingdai from going to the appointment .

How could Shang Qingdai not understand?

However, this is a catastrophe that she will never escape in this life, and it is also the best shortcut to avenge her mother and keep Lingshuyuan.

"Ah Ruo, let go, there are some roads, I have to go alone." Shang Qingdai pulled the rein, looked at the little servant, "Please tell your Majesty, I, Shang Qingdai, am not a harem woman, even if it is an invitation, please Your Majesty respects women three points."

The waiter said coldly: "Miss Shang is implying that she wants to resist the order?"

"The Son of Heaven is a role model for all people. If this incident arouses Longyan's fury, how will the people of the world think of His Majesty?" Shang Qingdai retorted, and finally pulled the rein from Du Ruo's hand, and said coldly, "Yan After all, the daughter of the people has only one life, if His Majesty really thinks highly of this skin, why don't you wait for a few more months? Drive!" She suddenly yelled, pinched the horse's belly, and rushed out like an arrow .

"Master!" Du Ruo subconsciously chased after a few steps, then turned her head and glared angrily at the little servant.

But I heard the little waiter grit his teeth and said: "If you don't eat a toast, you will be punished!"

Seeing the servant reining in his horse and leaving, Du Ruo's heart palpitated for no reason.

"Wine penalty..."

The more Du Ruo thought about it, the more frightened she became. She looked left and right, and saw a little beggar sitting in a corner begging. She walked over quickly, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief and some broken silver from her bosom, and put them all in the In the broken bowl of the little beggar, he said anxiously: "Can you do me a favor? Tell me something to my parents waiting for me at Nanchengkou."

The little beggar nodded excitedly.

"drive!"

Shang Qingdai had already galloped into the west of Baling City, one person and one rider, and it didn't take long before she rode her horse and galloped out of the west city gate, and galloped her flying horse into the mountain road in the western suburbs.

"Puchi! Puchi! Puchi..."

The sound of a white pigeon flapping its wings suddenly sounded overhead.

Shang Qingdai reined in her horse in shock. In the night, the white pigeon flapped its wings and fell into the deep forest. The wind was rustling, and the mountain road was unusually quiet tonight.

There was no sound of birds or howls of animals, just a dead silence.

Shang Qingdai lowered her body slightly and tightened the reins, already wary of the unusual situation here.

"kill!"

There was a stern shout in the forest, and more than ten black figures jumped out, flashing bright swords.

"drive!"

Shang Qingdai pulled the reins abruptly, and turned the horse around and ran towards the west gate.

"Keng!"

"Herod—"

The horse's front hooves flew up suddenly, and immediately turned the horse's hooves abruptly again, almost hitting those guns blocking the retreat.

It is definitely not Qi Xiangniang who can mobilize so many people!

The emperor only wants to get her, and he won't be tempted to kill just because she refuses for a while!

Who did he offend?

Shang Qingdai quickly analyzed the situation, but she didn't have time to think about it any further. Since what the visitor wanted was her life, he naturally wouldn't give her a chance to escape back to the city.

"drive!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the men in black who were attacking from front and back had not yet formed a siege, Shang Qingdai galloped out to the left on her horse, and rode one by one to another mountain road.

"Chase!"

The man in black rushed into the deep forest, taking a shortcut to surround Shang Qingdai.

"call out!"

A loud arrow sounded suddenly, Shang Qingdai subconsciously lowered her body, the horse staggered, and suddenly fell to the ground, Shang Qingdai let go of the stirrup, and was thrown three steps away by the horse.

She held on to the branch next to her and stood up, her ankle seemed to have aggravated the pain due to the fall just now, she wanted to take a step, but when she stepped on her toes, she felt severe pain.

"You can't escape!"

Shang Qingdai gritted her teeth, reluctantly supported the branches and moved to the side of the hill step by step.

"Go!"

The dozen or so men in black approached with knives at every step, and there was only one choice for Shang Qingdai, that is to roll down the hillside.

The mountains in the western suburbs are high and steep in the west, and flat and slow in the east. Now that the night is dark, it is impossible to distinguish the north from the south, so Shang Qingdai can only take a chance and roll down the hillside. In a small town, maybe she still has a way out!

"Mother, bless the child!"

Shang Qingdai took a deep breath, fell to the ground suddenly, and rolled down the hillside.

When the feeling of her body hanging in the air appeared, Shang Qingdai felt the coolness in her heart suddenly increase. The end of the hillside she rolled down was not the east side, but the small cliff on the west side!

She turned around in the air, stretched out her hand and scratched hard at the mountain wall, scratching the rock with her nails, and made a heart-piercing sound, and another heart-piercing pain rose from her fingers.

The body was falling violently, and her ten fingers grabbed all the way along the rocks, but she didn't catch a stone peak or mountain vine that could slow down the falling force.

mother's revenge...

Ah Ruo's safety...

The home of Lingshuyuan...

How could she be willing to die in Huangquan like this?How willing?

"Ah—" A mournful voice sounded from Shang Qingdai's throat, echoing mournfully in the valley.

"Yes—Master!"

When Xiao Ruo set foot on the mountain road in the western suburbs, she heard the teacher's voice faintly in the wind, and she ran in the direction of the sound even more flustered.

Will not!Master will be fine!Will not!

The men in black gathered on the edge of the cliff, and looked down, but they could no longer hear Shang Qingdai's voice. The cold wind blew from the bottom of the cliff, and the men in black looked at each other.

"Should he be dead?"

"Master never likes to see accidents, so let's go around and look for the corpse."

"A little girl came from behind? Kill or not?"

"No, it's good to let her see a little bit, you and I have done enough tricks, and the master can take credit for it."

"put on a show?"

The man in black who took the lead suddenly raised his voice and said, "If you don't eat the toast and take the fine wine, what your Majesty can't get, neither can anyone else!"

"Over there—" Du Ruo hurriedly hid in the bushes, looked at the group of men in black with a sneer, and finally walked into the deep forest and disappeared without a trace.

"Master! Master——!"

Du Ruo quickly ran to the edge of the cliff with her skirt on, looking at the pitch-black cliff, her heart seemed to have been stabbed by something, she called out to the cliff again in a trembling voice, "Master——"

The empty valley is secluded, and there is no echo from the Master, but only my trembling call.

Will not!

"Master, please don't be in trouble!——You are not allowed to be in trouble!" Du Ruo held back his tears, looked around anxiously, and muttered to himself, "What should I do? What should I do? I want to calm down, calm down, calm down! "

"Here...here...should have come to pick medicine with daddy..."

"East...over there...there is west...this way..."

"There is a way... There is a way down... Where is it? Where is it! Break your head, remember quickly!"

Du Ruo slapped himself on the head several times, and finally remembered that he had come to this cliff with his father three years ago, just to find a rare medicinal herb.

"Walk a few steps over there...along the rocks...you can climb down..." Du Ruo forced herself to calm down, she walked a few steps, and found the place where she climbed the cliff.

"Master, wait for me, I'm here to save you!"

Du Ruo bent his mind, took a breath, stretched his legs and probed down until he stepped on a protruding rock, then shifted his weight to that foot and continued to climb down.
