Even if she froze to death outside, she didn't want to go back and face that cruel man again.

She was not familiar with the road here at all. It was dark and stumbling. Her knees hit sharp stones from time to time, hurting several pieces. She didn't know where this road led. To her, this palace

It was extremely strange, but she just didn't want to stop, so she walked step by step. Her mind was empty, as if there were thousands of thoughts passing through her, but it seemed like there was nothing at all.

She didn't know how long she walked, but she finally got tired. When she saw a shining place not far away, she walked over without thinking too much.

Xia Houlie couldn't sleep as she was lying on the bed, thinking that she was injured all over her body and had a high fever. It was really dangerous for her to go back alone.

After thinking again and again, he finally stood up irritably and shouted outside: "Li Chang'an."

Eunuch Li walked in immediately. Seeing that Mu Qingwan was here, he did not dare to glance around. He lowered his head and said, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Go to Changxin Palace and see if the Queen has returned."

"Isn't the queen here..." He looked up in shock, only to find that Xia Houxie was the only one on the bed. Seeing his unkind expression, he quickly shut up and said, "I'll go right away."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was suddenly stopped again: "I'd better go there myself."

When Mu Qingwan got closer, she realized that it was a small nunnery, where Guanyin was enshrined. There were various dried fruits and fresh fruits on the table in front of it, and a stream of green smoke was rising from the incense burner, which smelled of agarwood.

, she walked in, took a deep breath, and the excitement in her heart gradually calmed down.

Slowly walked to the futon on the floor and sat down. She looked around slowly and felt completely relieved when she saw no one was around. She lifted up her skirt and found that her bare knees were indeed covered with wounds.

Blood oozed from several places, and after her thoughts calmed down, the pain also came up, causing her to gasp in pain.

She didn't bring any wound medicine with her, so she couldn't help but leave on her own. She was thinking hard about what to do when suddenly there was a sound of voices coming from the back room, and at the same time there were footsteps coming towards her.

She froze and wanted to find a place to hide, but as soon as she got up, the severe pain in her legs made her legs weaken and she fell back onto the futon.

This sound was accompanied by a sharp shout: "Who is it?"

As he said this, there were sounds of footsteps walking quickly towards this side.

Mu Qingwan had no choice but to look up and look at the screen that separated the nunnery and the wing not far away. Not long after, he saw a woman in her sixties walking out. She had gray hair and although she looked kind and kind-hearted, at this moment because of

Seeing her as an uninvited guest, his eyes flashed with cold light, shooting straight at her.

Judging from her dress, she should be an old nun in the palace. After all, she broke into someone else's place without permission. Mu Qingwan's face was filled with confusion. She wanted to get up but couldn't, so she had to smile apologetically and said:

"My little girl, Mu Qingwan, unintentionally trespassed on the precious land. I'm sorry to disturb grandma Qingxiu."

The old grandma was about to speak when she saw footsteps coming from behind again, so she hurriedly walked behind the screen. After a while, she helped an old woman about her age come out, and said worriedly as she walked:

"Master, why don't you take a good rest in bed? What are you doing here?"

Mu Qingwan took a closer look and saw that the face of the old woman who was to be her master was slightly swollen, her eyes were bloodshot, and her belly was slightly bulging. She looked like she had just been pregnant. She couldn't help but feel shocked.
