On the long street, Linglong held the pastry in her hand, lowered her head to take a bite from time to time, and walked forward step by step.

This road was very unfamiliar to her. Linglong kept walking along the long street without knowing where she was going.

Linglong had no intention of escaping at this time. She was not afraid of Qi Zhen's threat, and she did not dare to gamble with the Ning'an Marquis Mansion.

She is just real, real, and does not want to return to the East Palace or any place in the Ning'an Marquis Mansion now.

She just wanted to be alone, just like this, walking quietly on the long street for a while, just for a while.

No matter what the road ahead is, no matter what the distance is, no matter what the future holds, I just hope that this moment can relieve the depression in my heart.

The exquisite figure was getting further and further away on the long street. When the maid from the East Palace came out of the theater and saw that she could not be found, she hurriedly looked for her on the road in the direction of the East Palace.

In the teahouse at the corner of the long street, there was a man sitting by the window on the second floor, looking at Linglong from a distance.

This man was sitting in a wheelchair, his eyebrows were warm, and his eyes followed Linglong as she walked away.

It's Qi Mo.

The person waiting next to the wheelchair also followed his master's gaze and said, "Master, why is Miss Shen walking further and further away by herself? Why don't we send someone to take Miss Shen out of the capital at this time?"

Hearing this, Qi Mo shook his head and replied: "No, just arrange for people to watch over you secretly. Let them be more careful. There are secret guards from the East Palace watching in the dark. Don't be discovered by the people from the East Palace. Qi Zhen's people

I'm watching nearby, but I can't show up to take Miss Shen away yet."

The people waiting on the side responded and went to do the work as ordered.

As the slave walked outside, he was still thinking in his mind. He didn't know when his master had an encounter with Miss Shen, and he would take such risks to help her again and again.

That Miss Shen was also a mistress who didn't know good people's hearts. Her mistress risked being accused by His Highness the Crown Prince and helped her heart and soul. Just as he was about to send her away, she stood alone at the gate of the city.

He ran away, but he really didn’t know the heart of a good person.

However, despite this thought in the slave's mind, he still did not dare to disobey his master and went out to do things according to Qi Mo's instructions.

When the waiter went down, Qi Mo was the only one left in the private room on the second floor of the teahouse.

The servant retreated, and the inner room was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

Qi Mo saw the exquisite figure walking away, and as he looked at it, his eyes filled with regret.

Linglong in this life has not experienced the bloody chaos of the troubled times. After all, she is different from her previous life.

Today's Shen Linglong can't see any trace of the calmness of her previous life, she just looks like a little girl, and the sadness and sadness that overflows from her face make people feel bright.

Qi Mo and Qi Zhen in their previous lives had different memories of Linglong.

In that life, Qi Zhen saw the bright and brilliant Linglong jumping over the wall and jumping under the pear tree in Nanyuan, and he also saw the calm and sensible Linglong blooming in the bitter cold of the border town.

What made Qi Zhen's heart beat was the beautiful little girl in Nanyuan who dispelled the gloom in his heart at the first sight; what made Qi Zhen's heart full of love and pity was the woman who accompanied him through bloody storms in the bitter cold weather in the border town.

Shen Linglong in every period has carved a burning light in Qi Zhen's heart. Whether it is the beautiful little girl in her teenage years, or the gentle and firm woman who grew up in the bloody wind and sand in the later years, they are the shining moon in his heart.

.

But Qi Mo is not.

In his previous life, he only remembered Shen Linglong in the bloody storm that filled the city of Jinling. He only remembered Shen Linglong with the blood-stained golden hairpin under the gate of Luoyang City. He only remembered the torture and suffering from Jinling to Luoyang, and he resisted every step of the way.

Shen Linglong.

The Shen Linglong in these memories of Qi Mo was only the Shen Linglong of a certain period of time in his previous life.

She is not the bright and shining little girl she is now.

In this life, she has not experienced the hardships of wind, rain, blood and sand. Naturally, she will not be the one Qi Mo remembered under the Luoyang Gate in Jinling City in her previous life.

In this life, she has never suffered any hardships. Qi Mo knew in his heart that this was Shen Linglong's blessing.

However, he will probably never see the gentle, firm and decisive Shen Linglong in his previous life again in this life.

Qi Mo's eyes were slightly astringent, and he saw Shen Linglong's figure gradually walking away until it disappeared from his eyes. After being silent for a while, he lowered his eyes.

On the other side, Linglong walked aimlessly for who knows how long.

Suddenly a carriage stopped in front of her.

There were not many people on the long street, and the pastry in Linglong's hand had been bitten down to the last two bites.

The carriage creaked, Linglong raised her eyes and glanced at the driver who stopped in front of her, and tightened her grip on the remaining cakes in her hands.

This carriage belongs to the East Palace, so Linglong naturally recognizes it.

A moment later, on the carriage that had just stopped but had not stopped yet, a finger that looked pure and white, thin but very powerful opened the curtain of the carriage.

Linglong raised her eyes and looked at the people inside the car curtain, clutching the pastry in her hand even more tightly.

"Come here." The voice of the person in the carriage was gloomy, and the wind and rain around him was about to come.

After bringing Linglong back, Qi Zhen arranged for secret guards to keep an eye on Linglong.

There is no problem in the East Palace, so there is no need to monitor her too much, but if Linglong leaves the East Palace, the secret guards arranged by Qi Zhen will keep an eye on her in the dark.

Therefore, from the moment Linglong left the East Palace, in addition to the maid arranged by the servants of the East Palace to follow him, Qi Zhen's secret guards were also at the side.

This is why Qi Mo stopped his minions from sending Linglong out of the capital at this time.

Qi Zhen never told her to be grounded, so the secret guard would naturally not stop Linglong from doing anything, and would only be responsible for keeping an eye on Linglong.

Originally, Linglong was just listening to the play in the theater as usual, but the secret guard did not want to disturb Qi Zhen, so he did not report it.

It wasn't until Linglong walked along this unfamiliar road, and continued further and further, that the secret guards realized something was wrong, and feared that Linglong had other intentions, so they hurriedly arranged for someone to go back and report to Qi Zhen.

The secret guard who was arranged to go back happened to bump into the person sent by the eunuch in charge of the East Palace to report Qi Zhen.

The Qizhen people were at the Marquis Mansion of Ning'an. After hearing what the secret guards and the servants in the East Palace reported about Linglong, they immediately set off and rushed over.

He rushed to the long street and stopped in front of Linglong.

At this moment, Qi Zhen's eyebrows and eyes in the carriage were extremely gloomy, looking into Linglong's eyes, suppressing his anger.

He thought Linglong was going to run away again, how could he not be angry?

Linglong raised her eyes and looked at the anger in Qi Zhen's eyes, feeling ridiculous in her heart.

She lowered her eyes and said nothing, looking at the pastry in her hand, and Miss Zheng's words seemed to ring in her ears again.

Even though Linglong kept her face and laughed back at her, she understood clearly in her heart.

What Miss Zheng said really hit home where it hurts.

She's right.

——The "bed-warming maid" is probably who Qi Zhen sees himself.

Linglong pursed her lips and smiled bitterly. There was water in her eyes, but not a single tear fell.

After Qi Zhen finished speaking on the carriage, he saw that Linglong had not come up obediently, and even lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze, making a repulsive gesture of not wanting to look at him again, and he felt even more angry.

He sneered and thought to himself, look, this is the heartless little white-eyed wolf that has been born out of habit.

It was in vain that he had never been willing to control her with a heavy hand until now. Not only did she not feel any gratitude at all, but she still wanted to run away. How could he not be sorry for her and make her hate him so much?

For a moment, Qi Zhen regretted unlocking the door of Linglong's room when he left today.

He even thought badly that such a disobedient little white-eyed wolf should be locked up and trapped by his side so that she could be taught a lesson.

"Come here!" His eyes became colder and he said again.

Linglong listened to these sharp and reprimanding words, but in her mind, the image of Qi Zhen holding her hand as she just stepped out of the carriage on the night of the Yuan Dynasty many years ago, and saying "don't be afraid" to her in a gentle voice.

Is it because people's hearts are fickle, or is he just like that?

Or maybe the thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king, which is what a royal man is like in his heart?

Linglong lowered her head and smiled bitterly, hating that she had never seen through Qi Zhen.

She clenched her palms tightly and bit her lip, suppressing the humiliation in her heart and making no move.

Qi Zhen looked at Linglong's unwillingness to obey and clenched the hand holding the car curtain.

The next moment, he suddenly stood up from the carriage, stepped on the edge of the carriage, raised his hand and grabbed Linglong's shoulders and neck, and pulled her into the carriage.

While pulling the person up, he told the driver outside: "Go back to the East Palace."

The carriage was shaking when it started, but Qi Zhen's pull was so strong that he showed no mercy at all.

Linglong was dragged into the carriage by him and fell onto the carriage.

The remaining cake in her hand also fell on the carriage and was smashed into pieces.

The girl was frail and her knees hit the wooden plank of the carriage violently. The pain caused her exquisite eyes to instantly become misty.

With this hit, there was a plop, and half of Linglong's body fell down in pain.

Qi Zhen might as well have missed it, but actually dropped Linglong, and the movement of his hand suddenly stagnated.

But he couldn't bring himself to say anything soft, and he was still resentful about Linglong's escape, so he just pulled her up and placed her aside. He pursed his lips and lifted up her skirt, wanting to see her knees.

hurt.

If she had lost her temper in the past, Linglong would have had to go through a lot of trouble. If she was willing to let Qi Zhen undress her, even if it was because she was hurt, she would probably not allow it.

But this time, Linglong just turned her head and refused to look at Qi Zhen, but she didn't even push Qi Zhen, and she didn't even curse.
