Wan Guiren waited anxiously for Yin Zu to come back. Seeing that he looked depressed and tired, she hurried forward and pulled his arm, "What happened? Did you ask your second brother for help? What did your second brother say?"

"Mother, my second brother has already said that this matter cannot be handled by him alone. All the brothers have been granted titles of prefecture and will move to different states from now on. We are moving to Qizhou."

Master Yin looked ahead with dismay. Concubine Wan was shocked to hear this and took a few steps back. "How could this happen? Is my Yue'er going to marry in a foreign country?

We also want to go to Qizhou... Qizhou is a place with drought all year round. If we really go there, what should I do? ..."

Ultimately, Concubine Wan was still worried about her own wealth and glory. She had worked so hard to obtain this position, and thought that she could rest easy in her later years. However, she did not expect that the Second Prince was so scheming and cunning.

"Mom... Yue'er will be fine in a foreign country. Now only Yurou and I can take care of you."

The two of them moved out of Xianfu Palace that afternoon. They had originally agreed to meet Shangguan Yurou at the city gate, and moved to Qizhou today. Concubine Wan was still reluctant to leave the prosperity and wealth in the city...

"Your Highness, who are we waiting for?" The coachman, standing under the scorching sun and sweating profusely, came over and asked breathlessly. Yin Zu looked around anxiously, but still did not see Shangguan Yurou coming.

"How could this happen? I clearly agreed with Yu Rou to meet here at 15:30. Half an incense stick of time has passed, why hasn't she come yet?" Yin Zu was looking forward to Shangguan Yu Rou's arrival. At this time, Concubine Wan suddenly sneered and said, "That Shangguan must be very disappointed to see that you didn't get the throne, so he left. If it were me, I wouldn't move to Qizhou..."

"Mom, please don't add fuel to the fire. I believe Yu Rou is definitely not such a person. We are already married. She said that when she marries a man, she follows him wherever he goes. She will not betray me. Please stop speculating about Yu Rou." Yin Zu issued a warning. However, if they did not leave the capital within half an hour, the emperor would send people to forcibly expel them from the palace. This was the rule in the palace. Seeing that time was passing by, they had to leave quickly.

At this time, Shangguan Yurou was drinking tea in a teahouse. She could see the city gate from the private room on the second floor. Yin Zu had been waiting for her for a long time, but she had no intention of going down.

"You did a good job. This is the silver you deserve." A man in a black cloak sat in front of her and placed the heavy silver on the table. Shangguan Yurou knew that her mission was completed, which meant she could be free, but when she saw these things... she felt confused.

"Miss Ling'er, from now on, you and I owe each other nothing. I have never seen any Miss Ling'er, but Miss Ling'er should know what to do."

After Shangguan Yurou took the purse, she left the teahouse, took the horse and carried the money to another place.

Disguised as a man, she came to a tavern and stayed there. Hearing that Qizhou was suffering from a drought, she planned to take a detour and stay away from that place to avoid being affected by it.

That night, Shangguan Yurou came to an empty thatched hut. There was actually a fire, but no one was seen.

"Is anyone there?" Shangguan Yurou touched her hungry stomach. After hearing the gurgling sound, she looked around and unexpectedly saw two wild pheasants hiding at the door.

After a while, she plucked the pheasant clean, washed it with rain water, and roasted it on the fire. Soon, the crispy and fragrant aroma filled the whole village.

"Who is it! How dare you touch my things?" A clear and pleasant female voice came in. She was wearing a white dress and had two pigtails hanging in front of her chest. Her watery eyes looked directly at Shangguan Yurou.

"I'm sorry, I came here to rest when I saw the fire. I didn't expect to offend you, young lady. But I'm willing to pay you more money, so please do me a favor." Shangguan Yurou took out the change and looked at the girl. She was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a baby face, very cute, especially her beautiful eyes, full of spirit.

"I don't want your money, but I want to make soup with this chicken, and you roasted it!" The little girl was very angry when she saw this, so she opened the door to the backyard. It turned out that there was another room there. The backyard room was dark, but she heard a few coughs. It turned out that there was a patient inside...

"I'm really sorry, little girl. When the weather clears up tomorrow, I can accompany you to the market to buy a few more. You can have as many as you want."

"No need. The nearest market here is only a few weeks away. Qizhou is suffering from drought, but here it rains all day long. Some are suffering from drought, some are suffering from floods. I don't know what to do."

While the little girl was talking, she came out with a candle and frowned curiously at the woman dressed as a man in front of her. "You are obviously a woman, why do you put your hair up?"

"So you've figured it out, young lady. Actually, I just did it for convenience on the road..." Shangguan Yurou smiled awkwardly and sat down next to the fire. The little girl also sat down with her, holding an empty can and roasting it on the fire, as if she wanted to boil water to drink.

"Little girl, aren't you afraid to live alone in this thatched hut?" Shangguan Yurou asked curiously. This little girl is quite brave.

"What's there to be afraid of? My parents' graves are just behind here."

“Ah…”

Shangguan Yurou rubbed her hands. This little girl is not only smart, but also very courageous.

"Who is the person lying in that room?" Shangguan Yurou asked curiously. The little girl stared at him, "Why? This is my private matter."

"good……"

At dawn the next day, Shangguan Yurou was awakened by a series of intermittent noises. It turned out that the little girl had already gotten up and was about to put out the fire at the door.

"Girl, I don't even know your name yet." Shangguan Yurou was a little groggy in her sleep, but she slept very soundly last night, and the house seemed to be windless and rainless.

"My name is Xiaoyu. What's yours?"

"Yurou."

"This name sounds nice, but where are you going? The official road ahead has been closed." Xiaoyu asked curiously. Shangguan Yurou rubbed her head, shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Actually, I don't know where I should go. I have been drifting like duckweed since I was a child..."
