The journey back was non-stop, but the closer to the capital, Chengchun began to become more and more silent. Hongdou was the first to notice her change and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start.
After driving for three days, we finally arrived at a place where we could stay. After eating, Chengchun sat in the courtyard of the inn, staring at the moon in the sky in a daze.
As soon as Meng Shaoqing walked out of the house after eating a full meal, he saw Cheng Chun sitting there in a daze. Without thinking much, he walked forward and asked, "Is Su Xubai feeling better?"
"I can barely say something now!" Cheng Chun raised his head and looked at Meng Shaoqing, "Have you had your meal?"
"Well!" Meng Shaoqing walked over to Cheng Chun and sat down, "Feng Chan has been sleeping in the open for so long, and even eating cabbage feels delicious! This life is simply more miserable than in the military camp!"
Chengchun smiled softly: "You have really worked hard along the way!"
Meng Shaoqing glanced at Cheng Chun, and then said: "You smile so reluctantly, why do you get more scared the closer you get to the capital?"
"Yeah!" Chengchun nodded seriously, "I'm very scared!"
"You're not afraid of death, are you afraid of seeing those people?" Meng Shaoqing raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Afraid of the pain!" Cheng Chun curled his lips, "I still remember the bowl of absolute medicine that almost killed me. It really hurt, like gouging out my heart!"
"It won't happen again!" Meng Shaoqing said calmly, "Hao Jiaojiao's reputation in the capital has been completely ruined because of your incident. She has already killed you once, and there is no way she can kill you again.
Just once! Everyone in the court knew that she forced you to jump into the river, but you jumped by yourself, so no one can accuse her. But with this matter in front, she will not care about you later.
Whatever happens, it will be blamed on her!"
"So what if the blame falls on her? I was already dead at that time. When I die, no matter how much justice is given, it will be of no use to me." Cheng Chun held his cheek and looked up.
Looking at the moon, "My father often said that when you are alive, you must do something you will not regret. Otherwise, when you die, you will not be able to feel anything or see anything. No matter how decent a funeral is for you,
It’s all just a futile endeavor.”
Meng Shaoqing was speechless, because what Cheng Chun said was very reasonable. Indeed, because Hao Jiaojiao had a criminal record, once something happened to Cheng Chun, everyone would immediately target her, but at that time, even if Hao Jiaojiao
Jiao was punished, but it was of no use, after all, all the grievances Cheng Chun had suffered before were there!
"Meng Shaoqing, do you know where Su Xubai kept my parents and my brother?" Cheng Chun suddenly turned around and looked at Meng Shaoqing.
Meng Shaoqing looked at Cheng Chun in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You don't want to secretly take your family to escape from the capital, do you?"
"Isn't it possible?" Cheng Chun looked at Meng Shaoqing, his eyes sparkling.
Meng Shaoqing smiled helplessly: "Do you think Su Xubai can't think of the things you can think of? Is there any way you can guarantee that you can bring them out? Since he uses your parents to suppress you, then he will definitely
The most important people will be sent to guard them. I suggest you not to think too much about this road, after all, there is no possibility of success!"
In fact, Chengchun had thought about what Meng Shaoqing said a long time ago, but she was unwilling to accept it. She ran out of that place after all the hard work, and was captured so easily in the end. No matter how much she thought about it, she thought about it more and more.
The more unwilling you are.
Especially when I think about facing Hao Jiaojiao when I go back, I feel more and more frightened. It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that the woman's methods are too bad, I can't hide and I can't bear it.
"Actually, you don't have to think too much. You have made a meritorious service in Huizhou, and you are in front of the prince. His Highness is a nosy person. I don't think he will let you continue to suffer this kind of injustice." Meng Shaoqing suddenly remembered something,
Then he laughed and said, "Maybe our Highness can find a better identity for you. Although there is no way to be on an equal footing with Hao Jiaojiao, the daughter of the Prime Minister, at least you won't be so at the mercy of others."
Cheng Chun paused, and then said with a smile: "We can't place our hopes on others! His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is busy with everything, how can he have time to care about a small commoner like me! You have to rely on yourself, and you can't always expect extravagant things from others."
Meng Shaoqing looked at Chengchun with some suspicion: "Then how are you going to rely on yourself?"
"Actually, I still want to escape, but I can't think of a better way, so I have carefully considered what you told me before." Chengchun lowered his eyes.
"Me?" Meng Shaoqing raised his eyebrows. After a long time, he suddenly remembered, "Why, do you want to go to the Detachment of Women?"
"Is that okay?" Cheng Chun looked up at Meng Shaoqing, his eyes full of determination.
"It's very hard!" Meng Shaoqing looked at Cheng Chun seriously, "You should understand that if a woman wants to be a soldier, the price she has to pay may be several times, or even ten times, that of a man. I just said casually.
Mention, but since you take it seriously, I still want to advise you, it is really hard, the life of punching to the flesh and seeing blood with swords, can you really survive it? "
"You said that Su Xubai couldn't take me away there, is that true?" Cheng Chun didn't answer, but asked Meng Shaoqing instead.
"No one can snatch someone from my aunt, except my grandmother!" Meng Shaoqing replied seriously.
"That's fine!" Cheng Chun laughed, "When the time comes, Su Xubai and I will discuss it. Just like you said, if my family background is a shortcoming and the reason why I am bullied, then I will fight for it.
Give it a try, instead of feeling sorry for yourself every day, why not give it a try, what if the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven?"
Meng Shaoqing was amused by Cheng Chun's words: "You understand clearly. It's all up to you. If you ask, I'll go find my aunt. But you have to think clearly. After all, you can't join the Detachment of Women if you want to. You can do whatever you want.
Once you get in, if you want to get out again, then I can't help you!"
"I know!" Cheng Chun seemed to have figured something out, and smiled with some relief, "Actually, as you said, there are many things that you have to face. If you blindly think about escaping, you will eventually change.
It becomes a plate of loose sand and is scattered when the wind blows.”
Meng Shaoqing didn't say anything more and stood up with his knees on his knees: "This is a matter between the two of you. I won't interfere. Just think clearly. After all, this is your own choice. Just don't regret it!"
Cheng Chun looked at Meng Shaoqing who was slowly leaving. He turned back to look at the moon. Today is the fifteenth day and the moon is very round.
