Chapter 387 It is your honor to die for the princess
The journey to Northern Qi was relatively smooth.

Because of the previous incident, people from both Northern Qi and Southern Qi kept a close eye on Ah Qi, fearing that she would play tricks again. Especially in Southern Qi, there were people specially arranged by Song Chong to watch over her, and they had to send her to Northern Qi.

Ah Qi had no intention of running away, as she was going to Northern Qi anyway.

It is normal for Song Chong and Concubine Li to hate her, after all, she was the one who exchanged Cui Jing for Northern Qi.

Asui doesn’t care how Cui Jing is doing over there now. It’s all his luck. Anyway, he has to go there.

Anyone who goes to that place will probably have a hard time.

At that time, the client returned from Northern Qi. Because Cui Jing was considered the emperor's adopted daughter, and because of her own experience, she was driven crazy. People who didn't know the truth thought she was too cruel. It wasn't the Southern Qi or the Cui family who hurt her, so why did she cause trouble for the Cui family? They all thought Cui Jing was innocent. People who knew the truth still thought she was vicious, and said it wasn't Cui Jing who hurt her, so she couldn't be blamed on Cui Jing.

In the end, Cui Jing found out the truth, but she told her that she had hurt the other party many times, so now he owed her nothing, which was really ridiculous.

The client didn't care whether they were owed money or not. She just felt that they were living too comfortably and she felt unhappy, unwilling and resentful.

I don't ask them to experience what she went through, but I can't make it any easier for them.

"The rope is too tight. Why not pad your wrist with some silk? If you keep going all the way like this, by the time you reach Northern Qi, I'm afraid your hand won't be usable anymore."

"There are so many people watching, and Your Highness doesn't know any martial arts, so there's no way you can escape. Don't be so rigid."

A'qi was in the room, leaning casually on a chair.

She raised her wrist and glanced at it. There were indeed deep marks on it. She didn't expect that it would be noticed by two little palace maids. The two palace maids outside the house were the ones who accompanied her to Northern Qi this time. They were all going to live a hard life together, but they didn't resent her and wanted to help her feel better.

It made sense after I thought about it. Once someone entered the palace, they no longer had control over their life and death.

Since they were sent to Northern Qi, and they didn't know how to get back, their families probably got benefits. If they didn't go, their families and they would die. If they were named and agreed to go, their families could get benefits.

As for whether they are willing or not, it is not up to them to decide.

In their opinion, she, a princess, couldn’t even make her own choice, let alone them?

It was because the one who wanted them dead was the Emperor of Southern Qi, who was high above them and had the power over life and death.

The two palace maids were named Hongzhu and Luzhu. Hongzhu had a hot temper, while Luzhu was more quiet.

The two of them talked for a long time at the door, and finally the guard agreed. The moment the door was pushed open, Ah Qi wrapped the rope that was thrown aside around his wrist.

If we want to go to Northern Qi, we obviously cannot expose too much at this time. It would be smoother to go like this. If something goes wrong, it will be a lot of trouble.

After Hongzhu and Luzhu came in, they wrapped a layer of silk around her wrist in front of the people who were guarding her.

"It's because of me that you are following me to Northern Qi. We don't even know if we can come back after this trip. Why are you still helping me?" A'rui asked. Now she remembered them.

Hongzhu and Luzhu didn't expect A'qi to ask this, and they were both stunned.

Lu Zhu said, "Since I was born, my life has not been under my own control. Before entering the palace, my life belonged to my parents, and after entering the palace, my life belongs to your majesty." "Even if I don't follow you to Northern Qi, I may not be able to live a stable life." Hong Zhu added, "If I don't follow you to Northern Qi this time, next time I may have to follow the tribute items from Southern Qi to Northern Qi. The palace maids who went there never came back."

Facing Northern Qi, the Ninth Princess was unable to struggle just like them, and she couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy for her.

Moreover, after spending so much time with her, they really didn't think that the Ninth Princess was as willful and arrogant as the legend said. Listening to those rumors was really different from meeting her in person. Although they were slaves, the Ninth Princess didn't scold them or vent her anger on them. When Lu Zhu caught a cold a while ago, it was the Ninth Princess who asked someone to treat her.

Maybe it wasn't a good idea for the Ninth Princess to send Cui Jing to Northern Qi, but they didn't think anything bad of her at other times.

Although the journey has been tiring recently, life is not as frightening as in the palace.

Ah Qi recalled that Southern Qi not only had to send a princess to Northern Qi as a hostage, but also had to pay tribute every three years. Indeed, the maids who followed them never came back. It should be said that it was tacitly agreed that the maids who were sent there would stay in Northern Qi.

It is impossible to predict whether he will live or die in Northern Qi, but it won’t be a good thing anyway.

Luzhu and Hongzhu were the most beautiful palace maids, so it was indeed easy for them to be chosen.

Nan Qi's knees are softer than I thought.

Given the nature of the Northern Qi, if it had not been for the threats from the barbarians and the rebels, the Southern Qi would have probably been destroyed long ago.

Since that day, Luzhu and Hongzhu became even closer to Aqi and they talked to him all the way.

Since these people went to Northern Qi because of her, as long as they had no ulterior motives and were willing to follow her, A'qi would naturally save their lives.

And those who have second thoughts should be embarrassed.

Cui Chen couldn't stand it, and felt that Song Jue was really good at pretending to be well-behaved, and she had won over many people along the way. But it was useless, what could these people do? There were more people here who were watching Song Jue and preventing her from playing tricks.

She'd better not think about escaping, otherwise she will have a hard time.

In order to prevent her from really running away and then being unable to pick up her sister, Cui Chen stared at her all the time with eyes as big as a cow's.

Ah Qi was too lazy to pay attention to him.

It was raining that day, and Ah Qi suddenly heard a noise outside in the room, so he opened the window and looked out. This was an inn in the mountains, and the door could be seen from the window.

There were two figures standing there, holding oil-paper umbrellas. Their faces could not be seen, but their voices told who they were. They had been following the convoy from a distance, and it seemed they were also heading to Northern Qi. I was originally thinking about how to find them after I had finished my business, but now I didn't have to think about that anymore.

Sure enough, he is someone who doesn't make people worry.

"The woodshed is fine, as long as it can shelter us from the rain." Fan Shi said, it has been sunny these days, but it suddenly rained today, and there is no other place to shelter from the rain, so we can only come here. The rain will not stop for a while, and we can't stand in the rain forever. It seems that the rain is getting worse and worse, and their two oil-paper umbrellas may not be able to hold up.

"Are there any rooms in the inn? If there are, let them take shelter there. If not, you can let them stay anywhere. It's raining so hard, they can't stay outside." Asui spoke, and her voice was heard downstairs. Everyone in front of the inn looked up and saw her standing by the window.

This time it was so close that Fan Shi finally saw her face clearly, but immediately looked away.
