Misleading the Fourth Miss of Xiangfu

Chapter 12

Qiao Ye hurriedly helped her sit down on the bed: "Mother, don't worry, I have a solution, everything will be fine...really..."

"Ye'er, how can you rest assured that you are like this? You can't offend the emperor's people if you offend anyone! This...how can I do this..." Su Hongyan spoke incoherently, she had never seen any big world, just a Just an ordinary ignorant woman.

"Mother, don't worry, I can take care of it, and I promise we'll all be safe." Qiao Ye frowned, "You wait for me at home, I'm going out for a while."

"Where are you going?" Su Hongyan tugged at her and wouldn't let go.

Qiao Ye smiled: "Mother, trust me, I'll be back later." As she spoke, she lifted the quilt by the bed, stuffed the banknotes and jade pendant inside into her pocket, turned around, opened the curtain door and walked out .

Su Hongyan sat on the bed, her eyes were sad, this child acted so independently, calmly and capable, was she still that silly Ye'er?
Qiao Ye went out, walked around the house, and looked around. The servant girl is probably still busy in the front yard, and no one will take care of their mother and daughter. It's not bad...

The dianthus flowers behind the house are still in full bloom during the day, and it is really not the "sunset grass" that blooms day and night.

Qiao Ye's pounding heart miraculously calmed down when she saw this sea of ​​flowers. In this strange time and space, no one could understand her.Only these flowers may be able to understand why she is so restless, why she feels so insecure...

Some people say that dianthus is bitter, and dianthus protects children.Therefore, Dianthus is like the tenderness of the mother and the tenacity of the father. It has given her courage and hope in life for countless nights.

Qiao Ye squatted down and got closer to those gentle and tough carnations, her eyes slowly got wet, but in the blink of an eye, she lowered her head and began to dig bit by bit on the ground with her hands.The dew was heavy last night, so the ground was a little wet and not difficult to dig.After a while, a not-so-deep cave appeared on the ground.

He took out the jade pendant engraved with the word "Mu" from his bosom, carefully put it into the hole, and then filled it with soil.The hole was filled in, and she pulled some weeds to cover it, and stepped on it hard, trying to make it as invisible as possible.Still not at ease, she walked to the back door of the yard, lifted up a big rock against the wall, and slowly moved it little by little. After a long time, she finally moved to the cave, "Boom!" With a sound, she let go of her hand, and the stone fell to the ground, completely covering the hole where the crime of beheading was buried.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and Qiao Ye opened up his hands to look at them. His fingertips were stained with black soil, very dirty, and several places on the palm of his hand were scratched and stained with blood.She looked up and looked around, there was a small pool at the corner of the courtyard wall, she walked over, squatted down, and washed her hands in the pool.The soft water glides over the palm, which is actually a biting pain. It's autumn, and the weather is really getting colder.

Everything is done!Qiao Ye stood up, and inadvertently saw a small hole in the courtyard wall where she had just removed the boulder, and she could see the white light outside through the hole.

Frowning and walking towards that place, Qiao Ye was startled to push aside the cluttered weeds half the height of a person with his hands, heh, it's not a small hole, it's a pretty big hole, so big...

She can crawl out of there...

The temptation of freedom is great, and following her will, she climbed out...

When I looked up, I saw a wide river.

Patting the weeds and dust on the clothes, Qiao Ye stood up. It turned out that the wall of the carnation courtyard was built on the bank of the river. The river bank was very narrow, and she could barely stand firm by leaning on the wall.Using the power of water to defend is one of the characteristics of ancient architecture. No wonder the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion has never been guarded by anyone, obviously relying on the terrain to be confident.

The sky is very blue, the wind blows from the other side of the river, and the smell of ripe autumn seeds is very pleasant.Although the road was difficult, Qiao Ye was full of gratitude and hope. He moved his back against the wall step by step, turned around a lot, and finally found a small bridge made of narrow bluestone slabs.She walked over cautiously, near the opposite bank, there was a big hole in the bluestone slab, making the small bridge unstable, Qiao Ye gathered all her strength, jumped lightly, and stood firmly on the opposite bank.

As soon as she was free, Qiao Ye's heart would jump for joy. If there was nothing oppressing her head, if there were no burdens on her shoulders, if one day she could bring her mother out of Xiangguo's mansion, if they had a life, From now on, she won't have to worry about it... Then now, she must be a hundred times happier.

Sighing, she did not forget the purpose of coming out - to explore the reality of this strange world, so as to make a careful escape plan.Yes, flee.

Going forward, there was no one in the huge woods and the lawn, it was empty, only the chirping of birds in the forest could be heard, the bird singing mountain was more secluded, Qiao Ye was a little restless.In places where people come and go, just be on guard. I am most afraid of such an uninhabited wilderness. The loneliness and helplessness are the most terrifying memories of her remaining childhood.

Although my heart was furious, my footsteps did not stop. The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the grass is still green. If I go out for an outing, it is a good place.The further I went, the more panicked I became, and the woods got deeper and deeper, but if I turned back, I could only be blocked by the river, with no way out.

Qiao Ye's hands were tightly clenched by his side, and his heart was raised. Suddenly, his calf was pulled, and accompanied by the cry of the little beast, Qiao Ye kicked it in a panic.

"Wow——" followed by a scream.

Qiao Ye turned her head and saw a snow-white fox lying on the ground pitifully. Seeing her looking over, it limped back and looked at her defensively with its long and narrow eyes.Qiao Ye blamed herself, her foot must have hurt it, she bit her lip, squatted down, and stretched out her hand towards it: "Little thing, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."

The little fox hesitated for a long time, then glanced at the distant jungle, and finally dragged his injured hind leg to Qiao Ye's side, and licked her palm in a fawning manner.Only then did Qiao Ye notice that there was a thin silver-gray tree-like chain hanging around the little fox's neck. It didn't look like the fox made it himself. If so, then this little thing really knows how to dress up.

The little fox licked and licked her body, snuggled and snuggled, and when he had enough of rubbing against her, he pulled her skirt forward coquettishly.

Qiao Ye was very surprised, what is this little fox going to do?

Curiously, she followed the little fox through a long section of woods, until she saw a man in a gray cloth leaning against a tree, she realized it.It turned out that the little fox was not wild, but had an owner.

The little fox jumped on the man, danced at Qiao Ye, pointed to the bamboo basket beside him, then pointed to his mouth, and then pointed to the green plant in his hand.Qiao Ye half understood, but the man's face was blue and his lips were purple, no matter how he looked at it, he was not in good condition.She knelt down on one knee beside him and looked at his face with some green herbs sticking to his lips.

Qiao Ye had a bad premonition, he couldn't be poisoned, right?In ancient times, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and was poisoned countless times in order to study the medicinal properties.Judging by his posture, he also looks like a doctor. Could it be that he sacrificed his life to try medicines to make him half-dead now?
The little fox tugged at her sleeve, then pointed at the man's chest with his paw.

Qiao Ye stupidly reached into the clothes on his chest and took out a small white porcelain bottle, and looked suspiciously at the little fox.

The little thing grinned excitedly, whimpered non-stop, and pointed to the man's mouth.

"Understood." Qiao Ye smiled, poured a black pill from the bottle, and put it into the man's mouth. As soon as she put it in, she felt the pill melt into water in his mouth.The man coughed and woke up immediately.

What a miraculous medicine, what a miraculous person, Qiao Ye widened his eyes and stepped back.

The man opened his eyes, patted his chest with his big hands, coughed, and glanced at the little fox with his phoenix eyes: "Did you find someone again this time?" His voice was mature and hoarse.

Qiao Ye froze, he wasn't talking to her.

The little fox shook its tail triumphantly, straightened its front paws, and spun several times on its hind legs.

What a magical fox, Qiao Ye stared blankly at the two of them, the world is full of wonders.

Only then did the man see Qiao Ye, tilted his head and smiled at her: "Such a small girl, what are you doing here in Zifeng Forest? It's also my life that I should die, but someone came to this Zifeng Forest to save her." .”

Qiao Ye didn't speak, and frowned. This man is very young, at most 30 years old, how could he call himself an old man?Moreover, his voice did not quite match his appearance.

"The old man was bored, so I found some poisonous weeds to taste. I didn't expect this grass to be quite poisonous. If you came a quarter of an hour late, the old man might die here." The man didn't feel strange at all, as if he tasted Tasting poisonous weeds is a very normal thing for him, and death or immortality is a secondary matter.

The corner of Qiao Ye's mouth twitched calmly, and she moved her steps back. Why was she so unlucky that she met either an arrogant and domineering little prince, or an ice cube man covered in blood, or someone with a brain problem? Pharmacist... She can't afford to provoke them, so why not hide?
She stood up and wanted to leave.

"Little girl, wait." The man stopped her.

As a last resort, I turned around to see what else he had to say.

"Well, old man, I'm getting old and I can't stand up. Come and help me." The man rubbed his waist, acting like an old man, and the little fox was lying at his feet, looking lazy and unconcerned.

"..." Qiao Ye was speechless, what age?How can you tell his age?The hair is black, the skin is full and shiny, what kind of nervousness is this pretending to be old?
