Ma Xinyi stepped into the back hall, and Zhao Jichang, the eunuch in charge of the imperial guards who followed closely behind him, immediately waved his hand to drive out all the attendants waiting on duty inside the palace.
He stared at the servants until they left and walked far away before personally closing the temple door. As soon as the door was closed, Ma Xi's loud laughter burst into his ears.
"Haha, disappeared!" Ma Xi exclaimed excitedly, dancing with joy: "This excuse is great! Great! With this, I can drag it on for a few more months and then I'll be carefree!"
He sat down contentedly with a flourish of his sleeves and reached out to grab a pastry to stuff into his mouth.
"Your Majesty, King Qi is really missing." Zhao Jichang's face was gloomy, looking at Ma Xisheng who couldn't hold back his emotions, his eyebrows naturally furrowed together.
"I knew he was missing... Ah! Wait a minute!" Ma Xi suddenly realized, with the pastry still in his mouth, that something was off. He hastily spat it out and stared at Zhao Jichang: "What do you mean?"
Zhao Jichang saw the situation and slightly pouted, stepped forward, almost sticking to Ma Heshi's ear, softly explaining: "A mistake has been made, Qi Wang has not been captured, the sedan chair that came is empty with no one inside, Qi Wang must have realized it and ran away first!"
Ma Xi's pastry fell to the ground, he turned his hand over and grabbed Zhao Jichang's collar, asking urgently: "How could this be?"
Zhao Jichang shook his head.
Ma Xi's face turned gloomy, he suddenly let go of Zhao Jichang's collar and kicked the table over.
Zhao Jichang smoothed out his rumpled clothes, and then slowly and calmly said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down. You have already sent troops to search for Qi Wang. In that case, he will be unable to escape even if he grows wings!"
Ma Xi's voice was heard, and he clenched his fists: "Find him! If you can't find him, I'll make you pay!"
……
There was no man who wanted to repay kindness, so Hua Rou proceeded alone.
On the way, she encountered many detoxifying herbs. Considering that it's always good to be prepared, she picked some as she walked and ended up with a considerable amount. In the end, looking at the pile of herbs she had gathered, she came up with new plans.
"I'll go down the mountain and find a pharmacy to sell them, I should be able to make some iron coins!"
Hua Rou needs a way out, she needs to find a way to make a living for herself. She thinks that imitating her father by selling medicinal herbs to support herself is not a bad idea.
"If I can make money like this, I'll pick more and earn a bit more, then go to Tanzhou... no, not that! Go to Changsha Prefecture to find General, find Auntie!"
Hua Rou had found her goal and now walked with a much lighter step.
As she turned over a small hill and looked down at the road leading to the mountain, she never expected to see someone lying on the ground.
Hua Rong took three steps and ran two, hastily arriving at the person's side. As soon as she saw that familiar clothing, she was shocked and her mouth fell open: "No way?"
Put down the herbs and get your hands off me: "Hey!"
This person had no reaction, and Hua Rou exerted great effort to push him over. Looking at his pale face, she let out a sigh: "I told you that you were poisoned, but you didn't believe me!"
Hua Rou immediately picked out the snake tip grass and stuffed it into her mouth, then familiarly undressed Mu Junwu.
Apply medicine, chew grass, apply medicine, chew grass...
When she finally got everything ready for Mu Junwu, she felt that her entire cheek was going to ache.
Huā Róu gently rubbed her cheek with one hand, while gazing at Mù Jūn Wú's incredibly handsome face. She couldn't help but let out a sigh and muttered softly, "You ignore me, but I won't just stand by and do nothing."
Admiring you, I am in a daze, although people are unconscious, but that bloodless face is still tempting.
Hua Rou stared at him for a while, unable to resist stretching out her index finger and poking Mu Junwu's cheek.
"I saved you again!"
She pretended to emphasize lightly, making her poke him this time seem like a reminder.
You didn't react at all, but Hua Rou's heart was tickled by the slight warmth of that light touch left on her fingertips.
She stared at Mu Junwu, her hand slowly reaching out...
Poke...
Poke...
Once more...
She was like a playful child, while he was like a soft dough that wouldn't resist.
But as she poked and poked, Hua Rou stopped her hand.
She looked at Mu Junwu, and the gloating satisfaction on her face had turned into hidden worries.
"Why is someone after you? Why did my family get hurt? You and I are fine... What bad luck... But now, no matter how unlucky we are, we have to work hard to survive!"
She looked up at the scorching sun in the sky with narrowed eyes and smiled faintly.
