    ?

    After five days, Chuyao didn't see Xiao Jing, and even Meng Li seldom appeared.  The snow outside hadn't melted for a few days, and Chuyao couldn't see it, so he had to ask Liu Shu to go out to inquire. Liu Shu reported back that there were almost no guards in this mansion, and there was no one in sight.

    Chuyao didn't understand what Xiao Jing meant by letting them be here, but since Song Yufeng was here, then he or that celestial master must be there too.  After a few days, she still hadn't figured out what this place was.  Xiao Jing said that He Ling could be released in a short time, which meant that he might have been prepared to take down Rong Shaoyang, and he could ensure that he was safe, so he released He Ling.

    What is going on in the outside world now, she has no idea at all, whether the fighting is already turned upside down, or whether it is calm and the undercurrent is raging.

    "Miss, you've lost weight these days." Liu Shu came in with lunch and looked at Chuyao's thin cheeks. After leaving the palace with great difficulty, she regained a little bit of flesh. As a result, she lost weight in just a few days.  Shu couldn't help sighing: "Miss, in fact, no matter what happens outside, it won't help if you worry in your heart, and it won't help him if you worry too much."

    Liu Shu's he is of course referring to Rong Shaoyang, these days she can also see what Chuyao is worried about, the world will be peaceful in a few days, and I am afraid it will be chaotic again.

    One year has not yet arrived, Rong Shaoyang's foundation has not yet been firmly established, and the ministers in the DPRK and China are also divided into factions. This year, there have been severe disasters in various places, tax revenue is difficult, and the treasury is naturally not sufficient.  Rong Shaoyang's mentality is not worried at first, but it's easy to hide with a spear, but it's hard to defend against it. Now that Xiao Jing has that celestial master, if he uses illusions in battle, the woman's methods may not be the match for Rong Shaoyang.

    Now that she is sitting on these four stone walls, even if she wants to remind him to be on guard, it is impossible, not to mention that He Ling has not been released yet, even if she wants to, she has to wait until He Ling is safe before trying to find a way to let Rong Shaoyang know.

    "You're right. Now we're sitting in a well and looking at the sky. We don't know what's going on outside. Instead of disturbing others, we should open our hearts." Chu Yao smiled, "I can't even figure out such a simple truth."

    Hearing what Chuyao said, Liu Shu quickly scooped up a bowl of soup for her, and said softly, "It's not that Miss can't figure it out, but she's thinking about people."

    Chu Yao lowered her eyebrows, blew the soup in the cold spoon and took a sip, even Liu Shu could see what she was worried about, it seemed that she needed to be careful, otherwise it would not be difficult for Xiao to find out.

    While she was drinking the soup, Xiao Jing, who hadn't seen him for a few days, walked into the room. Chu Yao was a little surprised. He didn't know how much he had heard, and he was feeling uneasy. Xiao Jing sat across from her with his usual expression.

    Seeing this, Liu Shu added more dishes and chopsticks.

    Xiao Jing added a bowl of soup for Chuyao with his own hands, and put it in front of her, with a soft voice: "But in just a few days, I lost weight again. The weather here is very cold, drink more hot soup to resist the wind and cold."

    Chuyao took it with lowered eyes. In fact, there was nothing wrong with Xiao Jing. His ambition and scheming were just to get back what belonged to him, but her heart had already lost her balance.  Although he separated from Rong Shaoyang due to resentment, he did not want anything to happen to him.

    Xiao Jing raised his chopsticks to pick up vegetables in Chuyao's bowl. After Chuyao used a little, he lost his appetite and put down the chopsticks. Seeing this, Xiao Jing also put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked up at her, and suddenly said: "After eating these,  I will take you to see He Ling."

    Chu Yao was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, and ate everything in the bowl, Xiao Jing looked at her, his eyes darkened.

    After finishing the meal, Xiao Jing took her out of the house, and Liu Shu helped Chuyao go forward, Xiao Jing noticed that something seemed wrong with her, stopped in the yard, and looked sideways at her.

    Liu Shu also stopped in her tracks. Because Chuyao couldn't see with her eyes and didn't know the situation, she still walked forward inertially. After Liu Shu stopped, she just stopped, and she turned her face to look to the right.

    Xiao Jing had already switched to her left side, he frowned and looked at Liu Shu, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

    Chuyao heard the voice from the back left, and knew that what he couldn't see might have been seen by Xiao Jing, and he couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only say to him: "I suffer from snow blindness."

    "Is it Rong Shaoyang?" Xiao Jing's complexion became very ugly.

    Chu Yao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.  Now it's a good thing for him to misunderstand that the rift between her and Rong Shaoyang is deepening, at least he won't doubt that she will tip off to Rong Shaoyang.

    Xiao Jing frowned, his expression was frighteningly cold, Liu Shu always felt that the snow all over the sky was not as cold as his people.

    Then he motioned for Liu Shu to let go, and he supported Chuyao's arm himself.  Chuyao felt herself being supported by Xiao Jing, and her body froze for a moment.  However, he soon regained his composure, listening to the reminder in his ear, and walked forward slowly.

    WalkAfter about a stick of incense, Xiao Jing stopped. Later, Chuyao heard the sound of the stone gate turning, and then Xiao Jing supported her to continue walking. After a while, Chuyao's eyes could see the  There seems to be a glimmer of light ahead of something.  After his eyes slowly adapted, Chuyao saw clearly that it was a torch.

    At this time, Xiao Jing stopped again, moved a stone on the wall, and suddenly the wall opened.  Chuyao saw He Ling with disheveled clothes and loose long hair inside. He was sitting on the ground paved with straw stalks. He just raised his head when he heard the sound, and looked at Chuyao in astonishment.

    "Sister Yao, why were you arrested?" He Ling hurriedly got up, approached Chuyao worriedly, saw Xiao Jing in a blink of an eye, and immediately protected Chuyao behind him.

    Chuyao patted He Ling's arm, which was frightening, and shook his head, "It's okay."

    Xiao Jing glanced at Chuyao, and left the stone house by himself, leaving Chuyao, He Ling and Liu Shu in the house.

    Seeing He Ling's unshaven beard and losing half a circle of weight, Chuyao frowned and asked, "Did they torture you?"

    "No, it's just that I resisted and wanted to escape. They captured me and locked me in this dark place." He Ling asked with some doubts, "Shouldn't Sister Yao be in the palace? How could she be in Xiao Jing's house?"  On hand? How is Rou'er? The baby should have been born, right?"

    Chuyao lowered her eyes, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "He Ling, I hope you will listen carefully to what I'm going to tell you next."

    Seeing her solemn expression, He Ling couldn't help frowning, feeling uneasy.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
