He really couldn't let Feng Ruqing go with him. First, if he couldn't escape from the Queen Mother alive this time, everything he did before and after would be just fantasy. There would be no talk of getting news about his mother or planning for the future.

Moreover, the most important point is that Bai Li knew through Tan Lin that there was a capable person around the Queen Mother, who was said to be a very advanced monk.

The monks specialize in dealing with evil spirits. Bai Li didn't dare to let Feng Ruqing go. No matter how powerful she was, she was still an evil spirit. If she faced a high-level monk, she would be in trouble. Bai Li didn't want her to die.

Bai Li really didn't have a correct understanding of Feng Ruqing's current abilities, mainly because Feng Ruqing didn't show off her power in front of him.

Losing your skin and losing your head, etc., are the lowest-level evil spirits in many painting books.

Although Bai Li was afraid of going to see the Queen Mother alone and had no ability at all, he didn't want to see anything happen to Feng Ruqing for him.

The last time Feng Ruqing was beheaded by Tan Lin's men, Bai Li had already experienced the heart-rending experience and didn't want to try it again.

Moreover, although she was not very sure about this trip, now the Queen Mother could only choose one person between him and the Eighth Prince.

As long as he behaves appropriately, even if the Queen Mother does not choose him, he will not really die on the spot.

Putting all this aside, the most humble and determined thought in his heart was that he wanted to try it on his own.

So he refused Feng Ruqing's several suggestions to follow him to see the Queen Mother. Instead, he told Feng Ruqing, "You just need to ask around in places with a lot of people. The things in the palace should have been spread by now."

Once you get out, you can easily find out, and there is no need to take risks."

Bai Li was rambling, and had to explain one sentence carefully several times, "There are many capable people in the imperial city. You can inquire about them casually, and then wait for me at Huayue Lake. Don't wander around."

Although Bai Li was raised in the cold palace, the eunuchs in the cold palace did not stay in the cold palace permanently, but often ran outside. When they were bragging and chatting with each other, Bai Li also heard some things in the imperial city.

At least for Bifeng Ruqing, he still has some understanding of the imperial city.

He knew that Huayue Lake was a famous place for fireworks. It was a very famous and very large place in the imperial city and was relatively easy to find.

Feng Ruqing's left and right ears were filled with tears. She looked at Bai Li's chattering in the moonlight and thought of Mu Liang inexplicably.

"Okay, okay, my young master," Feng Ruqing said, "I am over six hundred years old after all, so why are you nagging me like this?"

"If you don't say that you have been in chaos for more than six hundred years," Bai Li said, "if you say so, I am still older than you."

Bai Li looked down at Feng Ruqing, taking advantage of his height, and indeed showed a bit of majesty.

Feng Ruqing was quite speechless, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, you are big, you are big, can you be good at anything?"

Bai Li choked at the dirty words that came out of her mouth, gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't I see that you were like this before?"

It was clear that he was very gentle before, and his words were not messy like this.

Feng Ruqing laughed softly and said deliberately, "How long have you and I known each other? Besides, you said it was before. I hadn't deceived you before, so naturally I had to pretend."

Bai Li's face started to heat up again after what she said. Although he had never been in contact with other women, he also knew that women in this world all regarded modesty and reserve as virtues.

There was a mad woman who was abandoned by the emperor in the cold palace. Although she was crazy, occasionally when she was conscious, she could still see her former ladylike demeanor.

But Feng Ruqing is obviously different from all the women in this world. Bai Li was so ashamed that his whole body was hot, but in his heart he felt that Feng Ruqing should be different from all the women in this world.

And he liked her evil look very much.

Bai Li didn't say anything else, he just sighed softly and picked out the remaining pieces of silver in his arms after checking out, as well as the jade pendant on his waist and even the beads on the buckle of his robe.

They were stuffed into Feng Ruqing's hands, "Take these, I don't know when I will be able to come out of the palace, don't go hungry, find a place to live by yourself."

Bai Li's clothes were all made by Tan Lin after he beat him, so that he would not be too rude when meeting the Queen Mother.

But now he ran away halfway and made full use of all the valuable items on his body. If Tan Lin knew about it, he would probably be pissed off.

Feng Ruqing didn't shirk, and took everything and put it into her arms, "Okay, I understand, the night is still long, and I don't know when Tan Lin and the others will arrive. Let's not stand outside the city.

Find a place to rest."

Bai Li nodded, and the two of them led the horses and did not go towards the group of merchants at the gate outside the city. Instead, they walked towards the woods.

The light in the forest was even darker, but the two held hands, Bai Li led the horse, and walked slowly towards the inside. They didn't feel any fear, but instead felt happy in their hearts.

Even Bai Li himself didn't know what he was excited about.

But when the two of them found a tree to tie up their horses and sat together on a hillside, with their heads touching each other and shoulders touching, Bai Li understood.

His excitement was just to be alone with her like this.

He has never liked anyone before, and he doesn't know what it should be like to like someone.

But Bai Li knew that in this life, except for Feng Ruqing, he would never have such feelings for anyone again.

Just sitting next to her, looking at her vague face hidden in the night, I felt so happy.

Feng Ruqing actually doesn't understand what love between men and women is. In the past, she was just a one-sided demonic obstacle to Shi Zizhen.

Sitting here like this with Bai Li, she didn't have any grand emotions in her heart, and she didn't have any particularly exciting mood. It was just like a summer stream flowing slowly through her fingers, just the right amount of comfort.

"Qingqing," Bai Li gently called Feng Ruqing's name.

Feng Ruqing turned to look at him in the darkness. She was actually different from Bai Li. She could see Bai Li's expression clearly, and naturally she could also see clearly the intoxication and desire on his face.

So, she slowly came closer to Bai Li, and when she was only a finger away from his lips, she stopped.

"What do you want me to do?" Feng Ruqing asked knowingly.
