Shi Qingxue couldn't wait to take out all the rice in the bowl, and sure enough, she found a note at the bottom of the bowl.

When I opened it, it was Xia Mang’s calligraphy—

[Prince Mo was not in Kyoto, and the reply from Mr. Qu was burned by his wife. The content is unknown.]

"Ah!" Shi Qingxue wailed, almost crying.

She pinned her last hope on Mo Junyang, thinking that as long as the letter was delivered to the other party, the other party would definitely be able to take her out.

Unexpectedly, Mo Junyang left Kyoto at this critical moment, and the only letter left behind was burned by Dong Hui!

There is no love in life.

Shi Qingxue couldn't eat anymore, so she went back to lie down on the bed and murmured: "What should I do?"

"Liu Niang, are you ready for dinner?"

Fen'er's call came from the door, Qingxue trembled, sat up from the bed, hurriedly hid the note, put the rice on the table back into the bowl, and then said: "Come in!"

Fen'er opened the door and came in. She frowned when she saw that the food on the table had not been touched at all.

Qingxue took the lead before she knelt down, "These dishes don't look appetizing at all. Take them away and have them cooked again. Then let Dongshuang come in. I'm used to her serving meals. I can't eat without her."

The reason was squeamish but impeccable. Dong Hui did not allow the servants of Luotong Pavilion to be alone with Shi Qingxue, but she did not say that she could not be served by others while accompanied by Fen'er.

Fen'er hesitated for a moment, but could only obey.

More exquisite and delicious meals were served to the table for the second time, and Fen'er also brought winter frost.

Two maids stood beside the table, like door gods.

Shi Qingxue had dinner under Dongshuang's service, and in the middle of the meal, she even ordered: "Fen'er, go make a pot of tea. I want to drink tea after eating."

Fen'er looked hesitant and looked at Dong Shuang who was seriously preparing the dishes but did not move.

Shi Qingxue suddenly became angry, "I only asked you to serve a pot of tea for a few minutes, and I can't tell you what to do?"

"No, it was the madam who asked the slave..."

Qingxue didn't listen to her explanation, and said angrily: "There are so many people outside the yard, and I can't run away. Why are you anxious? Do you think you will commit the following crime? Be careful, I will let my mother sell you out. !”

The hats were pressed down one after another, so that Fen'er didn't dare to resist at all, so she had to comply obediently.

"Liu Niang, you know clearly that Sister Fen'er is just following orders, so why do you have to embarrass her?" Dong Shuang gave Shi Qingxue a helpless look.

Shi Qingxue didn't even have time to speak. When the door closed, she directly pulled Dong Shuang into the bedroom, "Take off quickly."

She started to unbutton her own buttons.

Dong Shuang looked confused, "What are you taking off? Liu Niang, what are you doing?"

"Let's exchange clothes. You can pretend to be me and stay in the house later, so I can sneak out." Shi Qingxue quickly took off her coat. Seeing Dong Shuang, she still stood there dumbly and scolded: "Still... What are you doing standing there in a daze? Take it off quickly, or it will be too late!"

"Ah? But this..."

"Objection is invalid." Shi Qingxue refuted Dong Shuang's words without thinking.

At the same time, he confessed: "It's not convenient for me to carry my luggage right now, so I will go to your room to get some of your clothes and luggage later, and I will give them to you when I get back."

Seeing this attitude, Dong Shuang couldn't help but understand that her master was going to run away from home, and said bitterly: "What should I do if Madam is blamed?"

"It's okay, I will leave a note for her and she won't embarrass you!"

Shi Qingxue said as she packed up a few valuable things and banknotes. Seeing that Dongshuang was still there, she simply stepped forward and took off the other person's coat, put a suit on her body, and then pointed to the brocade clothes on the stool, " Put it on."

Dongshuang obediently obeyed.

Shi Qingxue quickly prepared everything. As soon as she finished writing the note, footsteps were heard outside the door, and the two people in the room became nervous.

Dongshuang is about to cry: he will be discovered!

Shi Qingxue shook her head and signaled the other party to hide inside and stay still. She hid by the door of the compartment and whispered: "Come in."

Fen'er walked into the house and saw no one, so she quickly shouted: "Liu Niang!"

"I just soiled my clothes. Put down the teapot and come in and help me change my clothes."

Fen'er didn't doubt that he was there, put down the plate and walked into the room quickly, but as soon as she saw a goose-yellow figure in the back room, she felt severe pain in her neck and fainted.

"Liu Niang!"

Dongshuang screamed in fright, staring at Shi Qingxue and the wooden hairpin in her hand with wide eyes.

Shi Qingxue made a silent gesture, "I can't leave otherwise."

Seeing that Dongshuang was still stunned, she explained, "Don't worry, I pricked the acupuncture points, and she will wake up after a while of drowsiness. I'll leave first, you wait for her to wake up and then adapt accordingly!"

Shi Qingxue really had no time to delay, so she packed up her things and left the Shi Mansion overnight.

There was a night ban in Mo State, so she couldn't go out at night, so she simply found an inn to stay and paid a waiter to take care of everything she needed.

Early the next morning, when the city gate opened, the servants of the Shi family stood guard at the south gate, not daring to say anything. They only watched the faces of passers-by carefully and did not miss any of them. However, it was not until the night ban came again that there was no news. Nothing was found.

At the same time, a young man, carrying a bow and arrow on his back and leading a fast horse, slowly left the city from the north gate.

"Madam, the servants have not met Liu Niang. She may not have left the city yet. Do you need to send someone to Prince Rui's Mansion to ask?"

Dong Hui's face was heavy, and she clenched the handkerchief with both hands. After a while, she let go as if she was frustrated, "No need, this matter must not be alarmed. You sent people to guard Luotong Pavilion to prohibit entry and exit. When outsiders asked, they said I was worried about Qingxue." As for Dong Shuang’s safety, let her pretend to be Qing Xue and stay in the room, so that no one else finds anything unusual.”

Aunt Zheng knew that the situation was serious and quickly responded, "Does the south gate still need someone to guard it, in case..."

Dong Hui put her head on her forehead and shook her head with a wry smile: "Qingxue has always been very witty, and there is nothing that can stop her from doing what she wants to do. I'm afraid that by this time she has already left Kyoto and gone to Qingluo Mountain!"

Aunt Zheng was anxious, "Qingluo Mountain is thousands of miles away from here, and there are many dangers along the way. How can a weak woman like Liu Niang endure such suffering!"

Dong Hui's chest was cramping, but there was nothing she could do, "It's my fault too. I knew she was not an insensible child, but I still insisted on going my own way when she emphasized that Junhe was in trouble several times, forcing her to do this.

It's useless to regret now. I'll write a letter to the Feng family later to explain the whole story. You can quickly find someone to deliver it to Junhe. I only hope that Qingxue can take care of herself and arrive at Qingluo Mountain safely. "

"Then what Liu Niang said..."

Shi Qingxue's determination and urgency have indicated Shi Junhe's crisis to a certain extent.

However, Dong Hui was just a woman, and there was nothing she could do except send letters home.

In the end, I can only place all my hope on Shi Qingxue, "If there is anyone else in this world who can bring Junhe home safely, I only believe in Qingxue."

Dong Huiqiang cheered up and smiled, "Okay, what we need to do now is to hide Qingxue's departure from Beijing and preserve her reputation as much as possible."

The woman ran away from home without telling her parents. If this was revealed, Shi Qingxue would lose all reputation!

Aunt Zheng responded and left in a hurry.

Neither of them noticed a figure quietly leaving under the window sill outside the house.

One day later, the servants of the Shi family who were on their way to Qingluo Mountain were robbed while passing through a forest, and their bodies were found in the wilderness with all their belongings missing.

Shi Qingxue was completely unaware of everything that happened in Shifu. After leaving Kyoto through the north gate, it took her most of the day to return to the correct intersection.

They were completely in the opposite direction, but at least they evaded their pursuers.

Wearing men's clothing provided her with convenience. No matter whether she was staying at the hotel or in the hotel, she never looked at her strangely.

She estimated that with her current speed, she would reach Qingluo Mountain in five days if she continued to drive. However, by that time, Shi Jiajun had already been in Qingluo Mountain for more than half a month, and she did not know where her father was now. How's it going

"I hope I can get there in time!"

Shi Qingxue started on her way as soon as dawn, and waited until it was almost dark before finding an inn to rest. The long hours of horseback riding made her miserable.

She endured it, knowing that she had no experience in traveling far away. She was very cautious and would rather take a longer detour than dare to rush through the uninhabited mountains and forests - even if it was a shortcut.

But just like that, when she left a small village and rode towards the next town, a long arrow suddenly shot over from the right side.

The speed was so fast that it could kill someone - she just happened to glance to the right and dodged before the long arrow hit her. Then several long arrows came one after another, and she had to jump off her horse and find a big tree to take shelter.

The sound of the sharp arrow hitting the tree trunk gave him goosebumps. The change happened so suddenly. The only similar battle she had experienced in her entire life was the last time someone assassinated Mo Junyu. She didn't have a complete response at all, so she only relied on He instinctively looked for the best hiding place, then drew a long arrow from his back, found the gap and shot at the opponent.

She didn't know if she was hit, so she could only wait quietly while looking for a way to escape - it was impossible to fight back perfectly in this situation.

"Come out!"

A male voice shouted not far away, but Qingxue didn't move. Then several more long arrows shot over and passed by her, as if she would turn into a hornet's nest as soon as she went out.

"come out!"

Shi Qingxue still didn't move. At the same time, he looked around and found another big tree one meter away.

She took a deep breath, held the bow and arrow tightly in her little hand, swung it to the right first, then quickly found a gap on the left and shot an arrow, rolled on the spot, and hid under another tree.

This time, she shot the left hand of the assassin in black outside - she shouldn't be able to shoot again this time. As long as she found the right opportunity to ride on a fast horse, she might have a chance to escape.

When Shi Qingxue worked hard, her horse was not far away, but this time the black-clothed assassin did not give her a chance to repeat his trick. When she went to hold the horse, two stones shot directly at her hands.

The bow and arrow hit the ground.

The only self-defense weapon was knocked out, and the assassin in black jumped in front of her. He held a sword in his hand and stabbed towards her.

A deadly stance with a sword.
