The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

"The two people who followed Gu Zhiqing at the beginning have been hacked to death with random knives. Only one of the fifteen people in the group who went behind came back, and there is no news about the others." Bingyun said bluntly: "When a group of us went out to do something, , there are regulations to deliver a message back every hour, or leave a mark on the road, but the team has been out for eight hours and has lost contact for three hours, and there are no marks on the road."

Zuo Xiangning's heart suddenly felt cold.

If all the people sent by Gu Zhiqing were killed, then Gu Zhiqing would have been able to run hundreds of miles in these three hours with someone to help him.

This night, Zuo Xiangning didn't sleep well.

If he couldn't catch Gu Zhiqing, then he would become a knife hanging over his head, and he might fall down at some point.

Being in constant panic all day long will make your days feel like years.

At dawn, Zuo Xiangning got up from the bed, and as soon as she put her feet on the ground, Bingyun walked in from outside, "Why did the girl wake up so early?"

"What time is it?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

"It's just past midnight." Bingyun asked with concern, "Are you going to clean the room?"

"Is there any news from Lord Marquis?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

"I don't know yet." Bingyun said, "I will go to the front and ask in a while."

"Yes." Zuo Xiangning went to wash her face, came back and stood in the yard, watching the fiery red sun rise little by little from the east.

It has been eight hours since Ling Xiao left, and no news has been received.

By noon, Ling Xiao had been away for twelve hours, and there was still no news coming back. Zuo Xiangning couldn't help but couldn't sit still.

She was pacing back and forth uneasily under the eaves, when she suddenly saw a guard walking in from outside and saying a few words to Bingyun.

Zuo Xiangning asked nervously: "What happened?"

"Bingyu sent someone to deliver a message, saying that Madam asked her to take you back to your home. She has already led people out of the city. What are you going to do?" Bingyun said.

"Madam, do you want to go back home today?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

"Then Bingyu didn't say anything," Bingyun said.

"Tell Bingyu that when we get to the other courtyard, someone will go back to the house and tell Madam that I will return tomorrow...afternoon." Zuo Xiangning wanted to wait for Ling Xiao for one more day.

It was another difficult day. At night, it was completely dark, and there was no news from Ling Xiao.

Zuo Xiangning's face was pale and she stood at the door like a clay sculpture, listening to what was going on outside.

"Girl, please eat something first." Bingyun said dryly: "Master Hou will be fine."

"I'm not hungry." Zuo Xiangning blinked and said worriedly: "It has been sixteen hours. He knows that I am worried here. He shouldn't not send me a message."

"Maybe... the Marquis is busy and has no time to spare." Bingyun said: "The Marquis has brought more than 20 people out. They are all masters and will be fine."

Zuo Xiangning knew this, so she was particularly worried.

At midnight, Zuo Xiangning was sitting at the table, still not sleepy at all.

Bingyun brought her a bowl of soup and said, "Girl, can you drink some? Otherwise, the Marquis will feel bad when he comes back."

Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows and looked at Bingyun who felt awkward after she finished speaking. She took the bowl and took two sips.

Suddenly there were footsteps in the yard. Zuo Xiangning put the bowl in her hand on the table next to her, got up and ran towards the door.

Bingyun opened the door first, looked at Ling Xiao who walked in from the courtyard door, turned around to give way to the door, and stepped aside.

Zuo Xiangning looked at Ling Xiao who was walking towards her, and pounced on him like a little bird, "Why did you come back? Are you injured?"

"No." Ling Xiao saw Zuo Xiangning walking in front of him, and he took half a step back gently, "I'm covered in dust. I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes."

"Okay, then you go take a shower first. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll have the food prepared and we'll eat together when you come out." Zuo Xiangning sent him to the door of the clean room.

"Okay, make me a bowl of noodle soup." Ling Xiao smiled and entered the clean room.

Zuo Xiangning hurriedly asked Bingyun to prepare dinner, while she went to the closet to find a moon-white coat and azure blue coat for him.

"I have prepared clothes for you, shall I bring them in to you?" Zuo Xiangning asked while standing at the door of the clean room.

"Okay, bring it in."

Zuo Xiangning took a small spoon and went in. She didn't dare to look in the direction of the tub. She put her clothes on the small spoon and said, "Put it here for you. After you change, come out and eat."

"Yeah." Ling Xiao looked at the little woman who looked like a thief and said with a smile: "Look at the road and don't trip yourself."

Zuo Xiangning quickly left the clean room, stood at the door and said, "Do you need me to ask someone to come in and wash your hair?"

"No need." Ling Xiao rinsed his hair with water, then wiped it dry and came out. He looked at the woman who was placing dishes and chopsticks at the table, "You haven't eaten well all day, have you?"

"Who said that?" Zuo Xiangning took the handkerchief from Ling Xiao's hand, asked him to sit down, wiped his hair, and said, "I'm eating well."

"Eat more, you will feel chubby and cute." Ling Xiao smiled and closed his eyes.

Zuo Xiangning thought of his big hand caressing her body and touching the clouds... Her little face turned red, she coughed slightly, and then said: "Your hair is really hard. People say that people with hard hair have a weak heart." hard."

"It depends on who it is for." Ling Xiao whispered: "It may be possible for others, but it is absolutely impossible for you."

"Have you found Gu Zhiqing?" Zuo Xiangning asked worriedly.

Ling Xiao opened his eyes and said, "The people I sent have all disappeared. I followed the marks they left but couldn't find them."

Ling Xiao turned his head and pulled Zuo Xiangning to sit next to him, "Xiang Ning, if Gu Zhiqing can live on the run like this, I'm afraid he will leave and come back to the capital again."

"Are you afraid that he will cause trouble for me?" Zuo Xiangning held his hand instead, "The person he hates most now is you. If he returns to the capital, the person he wants to find trouble most is you, so you should be careful. "

"What I care about most is you." Ling Xiao touched her little face, "He hurt me, just outside the skin, and the pain is only temporary, but if he hurts you, it will be heart-wrenching pain. You are my heart That piece of meat, if he hurt a hair on your head, I would feel bad."

The corners of Zuo Xiangning's eyes were slightly red, and she smiled lightly, saying, "Did you eat honey? Why do you say such a thing?"

"What I said is true." Ling Xiao said: "Tomorrow I will take you back to your mansion. I will tell your mother that you will live in the Hou Mansion first..."

"Are you crazy? Why is my mother so angry?" Zuo Xiangning hurriedly shook her head and said, "Even if Gu Zhiqing's matter is resolved, there is no reason for me to move into your house."

"Then can you ask someone to open a door on the east wall of your house, and I can move to your place." Ling Xiao said, "It's easy to do it at night. I can jump back and forth over the wall, but it's not very convenient during the day."

"Then it will be convenient for you to walk out through the corner door in broad daylight?" Zuo Xiangning looked at him amusedly and angrily, "Don't have such an idea as soon as possible, my mother will not agree. It is better to wait and see the eldest princess's mansion. What do you mean by the Emperor's dealings with Gu Zhiqing?"

Ling Xiao said: "I will go to court tomorrow to explain this matter to the emperor, and ask the emperor to issue a nationwide wanted order, so that at least on the surface, he will not be able to appear openly around the capital."
