Royal maid

231 Protect your heart

When He Xuan returned to Liao's house, it was already time to hold the lamp.

After sending the emperor into the palace, He Xuan was not summoned to the palace at the emperor's will. He Xuan understood that the emperor had begun to stage the overture of "bitter meat plan".

It's just right not to be yourself. At present, the people accompanying the Yong family have been sent back to be sent away. He Xuan wandered aimlessly on the street.

Houses are easy to find, and they are all over the ground. But it's hard to find a place to live for yourself, which is really not so easy. Of course, He Xuan's luck is not bad. Because she knows who knows these things best.

Outside the Shengyi Building, several little beggars looked at He Xuan and immediately surrounded her and asked her for some food.

He Xuan nodded and said, "I have something to ask you. Well, I'll give you five steamed buns later.

"Five?" The little beggar's eyes emitted a strange brilliance.

"Do you know where to rent a house?"

"This is still rare for us. What do you want?" One of the older children said.

"There is no need for a big place. One room is fine."

The little beggar thought for a moment and said, "I know that there is a small house not far from the west corner of the king's mansion. A single family, although it is not big, but it is quite clean.

"Outside the Wise King's Mansion..." He Xuan didn't like this place very much. "Is there anything else?"

"Sir, it's much harder for you to rent a house in this city than to find it outside the city. Moreover, you are a person with status. If you find a place to live in our place, you can't go, right?

Hearing this, He Xuan smiled and thought to herself: This child is not big, but he has a lot of intentions.

He Xuan nodded and happened to come out to see off the guests. Seeing He Xuan surrounded by a group of little flowers, she was ready to come and drive them away. But it was blocked by He Xuan.

"Don't mind, I beg them to help me." With that, He Xuan took out a piece of silver from her arms and threw it to San'er, "Do you see these children clearly? For the next ten days, there will be five meat buns per person every day.

Several children and Saner were shocked by He Xuan's words.

"Not enough money?" He Xuan asked.

"Enough... can't spend... How much money can a few steamed buns cost? However, the young master said that you come here for dinner..."

"I don't need to pay to eat here, but isn't that what I eat? Put it away. In the future, there may be less when I come here.

He Xuan said, turning around and preparing to leave Shengyi Building. After a few steps, she heard a sound behind her. She turned her head and saw that it was the older child.

"What else?" He Xuan asked.

The child shook his head, arched his hand at He Xuan, and said, "Thank you very much."

He Xuan walked over, patted the older child's head, and whispered to him, "You are quite clever. If you don't want to be a beggar, go to the place you mentioned to find me.

"Do you care about food?" The child asked in a low voice, "Don't worry, just five steamed buns a day."

He Xuan was happy, nodded, and then said, "Five meals are OK. But remember, if you really follow me, I'm afraid there will be a lot of dangers in the future, and you will die at any time. You can think about it first.

With the child's hesitation, He Xuan turned around and left with a smile.

He Xuan listened and came to the small courtyard. The landlord lived across the street. As soon as she heard that the neighbors said that someone was renting a house, she rushed to greet her. He Xuan went into the yard and took a look. It was really clean. Anyway, she might not live here for too long, and she was afraid it would bring some trouble to others. When signing the document, He Xuan thought about it and suddenly paid for three years. Although I don't know what will happen in the future, it is appropriate to give some compensation first.

When she returned to the Liao family, He Xuan was already hungry. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw the Liao family digging a ditch with their feet in front of the door.

"Why did you come back?"

"Let's go in and talk about it."

He Xuan and Liao Yong walked into the room side by side. After changing their clothes, He Xuan came to Liao Yong's courtyard. He Xuan sent all the servants out, leaving only Yu Mo and Yu Qing to serve.

"I have rented the house." He Xuan said.

"Faun, do you want to move?" Yuqing hurriedly asked when she heard that He Xuan had rented the house.

He Xuan smiled and said, "Can't you rent a house just to see it?"

Yuqing blinked and didn't say anything.

"Yuqing. When I move out, you... still stay here. Don't follow me."

Liao Yong heard this, gently put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at He Xuan, but did not say anything.

"But, son. I'm not by your side..."

"I didn't have anyone to serve, and I'm not lively. I've grown up so much." He Xuan smiled and said, "And if you leave with me, what will your brother Yumo do?"

When she said this, Yuqing and Yumo suddenly blushed from their faces to their ears, and then red through their necks...

"The prince..."

"Mr. He, how did you learn the trick of our young master?" Yumo said.

"What do you want to do?" Liao Yong asked He Xuan with a smile.

"If it's okay, you have time to deal with the two of them. They are not young. You can't let Yuqing pretend to be a petty one all his life. Why don't you settle it first, and then send her to your aunt for another year and a half..."

"The prince..."

Yuqing finally ran out in shame. Yumo looked at the two people sitting in the room and knew that they still had something to say alone, so he chased them out.

"Look at you, you are childish." Liao Yong said with a smile.

"I don't have it!"

"Yes, no. I have. All right!"

He Xuan smiled, picked up the glass and took a sip of wine.

"Do you have to move out?"

He Xuan listened to Liao Yong's question and nodded gently.

"Why? Don't I let you believe it so much?"

He Xuan shook her head, put down her glass, and then looked at Liao Yong and said, "It's not that I don't believe you. But at present, I must stay away from you. The farther the better."

"I'm not afraid..."

"I know, you are not afraid... Similarly, Uncle Zuo is not afraid... I know that you can gamble your lives to protect me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been involved in this at all... Now, you must still be living a leisurely life..."

He Xuan said, raised her eyes and looked at Liao Yong. Somehow, her nose was sore and tears flowed down.

"I think the emperor means that I'm afraid there will be a move tomorrow. I will move out of here tonight.

"Is it so urgent?"

"Actually, I shouldn't have lived back today." When He Xuan said this, she suddenly changed her words and suddenly asked, "Ji Fan, do you listen to what I said?"

"Listen, listen naturally. As long as what you say makes sense, I will listen."

"Good." He Xuan nodded, "Remember, no matter what news you hear tomorrow, don't ask."

"You were pushed out to kill, and you didn't care?"

"How can I be killed? The emperor will protect me. Even if it is the other party, I'm afraid that I still have the value to use now and won't do anything to me for the time being. It's you, remember, you must be completely out of the matter. Only when you are safe can I focus all my attention on how to get off my body. You are among them, I have to worry too much.

"Am I... become your burden?" Liao Yong asked in a miserable heart and lonely.

"Of course not. You are not a burden, but the person I care about most now.

He Xuan said, stood up, walked to the window, looked at the moon outside, and whispered, "When my mother passed away, I told myself that I must stay by my father's side and take good care of him. However, I didn't take good care of my father. I saw him tied to the court, but there was nothing I could do. The people I care about, one after another, left me like that... When I was on the road, I also told you that I couldn't accept losing again... Especially you... I can't watch you tired for me. If one of us is a burden, that's me."

"No, worry-free, it's not like this..."

"So, you have to listen to me. When things calm down, I will listen to you well. I will be very good and won't recite your meaning..."

He Xuan said in her heart: If I can really leave here alive.

Listening to He Xuan think more and more about it, Liao Yong nodded helplessly and said, "Okay. I promise you. These days, I will be a snobber. After you are punished and demoted, even if I meet you on the road, I won't look at you more. Is this okay?"

"Alle..."

He Xuan nodded with tears in her eyes.

Liao Yong also left the table and walked to He Xuan's side, holding her tightly in his arms, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Do you know? I'm really afraid. I've never been so afraid since I was born. I'm really afraid that once I let go, I will never see you or hear you again... Worry-free, promise me that you will come back to me no matter what. I will wait for you. No matter when you come back, I will wait for you."

He Xuan nodded gently in Liao Yong's arms. What Liao Yong said was also what she wanted to say. She was also afraid, really afraid... Now she is not afraid of death, only afraid of losing...

Liao Yong accompanied He Xuan back to the yard, sorted out the things He Xuan brought at that time. There were still only two not too big boxes. He Xuan tied them up, put them on horseback, led the horse, and left through the back door of Liao's house.

Liao Yong sent He Xuan until he arrived at the intersection immediately.

Yu Mo and Yu Qing also silently followed Liao Yong.

"Son, you must be careful... I'm not by your side..."

"Don't worry." He Xuan said with a smile, "Go back. It's not that we can't see each other again."

With that, He Xuan turned over her horse and disappeared into the night.

He Xuan did not dare to look back. She was afraid that she would not bear to leave. She also knew that Liao Yong was still standing in the same place, waiting for herself.
