MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 683 [Verse] I only hope that your heart will be like mine (2)

 It is already late autumn, and the weather is getting cooler day by day.

Dong Qing took a few personal servants and was escorted by the palace servants. He left the capital and went straight to the border of Yuzhou.

The journey originally took half a month, but because of Dong Qing's urgent urging, the group actually reached their destination in only ten days.

At this moment, although Yuzhou has been captured by Da Qi, and the original royal family has been forced to move to the capital by Li Ling, the territory of Yuzhou is still not completely peaceful, and the remaining forces everywhere under the banner of restoration have not yet Completely smooth.

Although Dong Qing was in a hurry to go out, the government had equipped her with enough generals. Although she experienced several dangers along the way, fortunately, she was able to avoid them all.

"Young madam, after passing this mountain, ahead is Fucheng. It used to be the capital of the Gaoshan Kingdom. Now the eldest son and a group of soldiers are stationed there." Chen Qing, the general guarding Dong Qing, pointed to the front. He rushed back to the master in the car.

The servant opened all the windows, and Dong Qing looked in the direction pointed by the general. A smile finally appeared on her face, and she ordered: "Then order them to hurry up. We won't stop here today." Get some rest and try to reach Fucheng before dark."

Shishu served beside Dong Qing. She looked at the mountains not far away and murmured: "This mountainous country is indeed worthy of its reputation. There are mountains everywhere. This journey is really shaking people's internal organs." It seems like it’s out of place.”

Dong Qing smiled and replied: "We will arrive tonight. After you settle down, I will give you a few days off so that you can have a good rest."

"This slave has to take care of the young lady. Where can I rest?" After saying that, the servant smiled mischievously at Dong Qing: "This slave is just complaining. Since the lady is working hard, I am naturally not afraid of hardship. .”

The carriage and horses were jolting along the mountain road. Shishu saw that Dong Qing was constantly feeling nauseous from the jolts. While he was taking care of her, he couldn't help complaining in distress.

“This place is really hard to come to. Once you come there, it’s so tiring that you shed a layer of your skin.”

Chen Qing, the family general outside the car, saw his master suffering and couldn't help but persuade him: "Young madam, why don't we camp at the foot of the mountain for one night? I will order someone to go to the city and inform the eldest son that you can have a rest for the night." .”

"No need." Dong Qing covered his mouth with a handkerchief and suppressed his nausea and said, "I came in a hurry and didn't write to him. Let's just get to Fucheng as soon as possible."

Dong Qing was anxious to see Li Kun, but because of the unfavorable weather, a few muffled thunders suddenly sounded in the originally clear space, and then, large raindrops began to fall.

 “What a **** weather!”

 Chen Qing cursed and then advised Dong Qing: "Young madam, the rain here is going to fall at any time. It's raining so fast, why don't we just wait a moment."

Dong Qing raised his eyes to the sky and said firmly: "This rain is coming too fast, it can't fall for a long time, just keep on going."

Since the master insisted, Chen Qing could not say anything else, so he had to order the servants to put on raincoats and move forward quickly.

The mountain road was already rugged and it was raining. By the time a group of people crossed the mountain road and arrived at the city, it was already dark.

Although the rain has become lighter, it is still falling. When Chen Qing led a group of people to the Qi army camp, everyone was in a panic.

The sergeant saw the waist badge and quickly brought the group of people into Li Kun's residence in the city.

This is a spacious mansion, close to the imperial city. It looks like the residence of the princes of Gaoshan Kingdom in the past. The sergeant knocked on the door of the house and was greeted by Pingzhou, the young man beside Li Kun. He was very surprised when he saw Dong Qing and others. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young lady, why are you here suddenly?"

Dong Qing replied: "I came out in a hurry and didn't have time to write a letter."

The maids helped Dong Qing out of the carriage. There was thick water on the road. Dong Qing stepped in the water, and her embroidered shoes were immediately filled with rainwater, which was cold and sticky to her feet.

Pingzhou hurriedly asked the maid to help Dong Qing enter the house. He walked in front and led Dong Qing to Li Kun's house.

 “Where is my husband?”

Seeing that the room was empty, Dong Qing asked.

Pingzhou replied: "There was a riot in the west a few days ago. The eldest son took people to quell the chaos, but he has not returned yet."

Dong Qing traveled thousands of miles to come here, and she couldn't wait to see the person she missed so much every day, but now it was all in vain.

Her eyes, which were originally shining brightly, suddenly dimmed.

Seeing this, the servant hurriedly asked Pingzhou: "When will the eldest son return?"

Pingzhou replied: "I heard from Miss Qingluo yesterday that it seems that I will have to wait five or six days before I can return." As soon as the words left his mouth, Pingzhou realized that he had made a mistake and quickly changed the subject: "Young madam, you have been working hard all the way. Then order people to prepare meals."

He glanced at Dong Qing's increasingly cold expression, and hurriedly greeted with a smile: "This mansion was originally the residence of the Princess Protector of the Gaoshan Kingdom. Now the eldest son and several generals who stayed here are living here for the time being. But those generals live in the front yard, and ours is the back house, which is very clean, so the young lady can stay here with peace of mind. I will send someone to inform the eldest son of your arrival tomorrow."

Dong Qing looked at Pingzhou Xuxu's evasiveness with cold eyes. It wasn't until he stopped that Dong Qing asked: "Who is the Qingluo girl you just mentioned?"

When Pingzhou saw Dong Qing asking a question, he was at a loss for words and hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Dong Qing did not rush him, and just stood there quietly, staring at Pingzhou with sullen eyes.

Pingzhou felt that the eyes of this always gentle and steady young lady were like needles, which made him feel uncomfortable all over. He shrugged subconsciously and replied hesitantly: "Miss Qingluo is just, just, serving. The one beside the eldest son, ya-tou."

Pingzhou spoke hesitantly and glanced at Dong Qing with fear from the corner of his eyes.

The servants and women in the room couldn't understand anything when they saw this. They all lowered their heads and no one said a word. The corner of their eyes was staring at Dong Qing, glancing at her reaction.

Dong Qing still stood there quietly. After a long time, she waved her hand towards Pingzhou and said: "I understand. There is no need to send someone to inform the eldest son tomorrow that I am here, so that he can concentrate on his political affairs." important."

Pingzhou knew that he had gotten into trouble due to a slip of the tongue. Seeing that Dong Qing did not continue to ask questions, he quickly agreed and hurriedly retreated.

After Pingzhou left, the servant waved the maid out of the room. She stepped forward and helped Dong Qing sit down. She bent down to take off her soaked shoes, but was stopped by Dong Qing. She slightly He sighed and said: "I can do it myself. Go and tell Pingzhou not to ask the kitchen to prepare meals. I'm not hungry. Just ask them to prepare hot water. I'm tired. I want to take a shower." Rest."
