Nights in the capital are not always lively and prosperous, especially on windy and snowy days. As soon as the night comes, the entire capital seems particularly quiet. If it is such a secluded alley like Huichun Lane, it will be even more quiet, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is lifeless.

Under the cover of night, An Ruyu was wrapped tightly in a cloak by Li Longhai. She hugged her arms tightly and left Bin’an Inn and came to the carriage parked at the entrance of the alley.

Although the wind whistles outside the carriage and the snow is flying, the inside is warm.

I still felt a little unreal until An Ruyu was properly placed in the carriage.

Although this carriage looks ordinary, it is customized inside. The four walls were wrapped tightly and not only were they airtight, but they also specially laid a pure white fox fur mattress, which was her favorite.

Below her was a soft and comfortable mattress, and her body was covered with thick marten fur. There was a hand warmer in her hands, arms and feet. Soon she felt warmed up and she felt like she was back to life.

She only stayed in Bin’an Inn, which is like a purgatory on earth for only three days, but she suffered from the sufferings of the world. So much so that she was just the least conspicuous carriage she used in the past, and she felt like she was a different life.

When the carriage left Huichun Lane in the snow, Li Longhai had already arranged everything. He escorted her out of the city that night and went to the hot spring village.

An Ruyu sincerely sighed that Li Longhai has always been so meticulous in his work.

When the carriage arrived outside the city, he heard the handlebar outside and seemed to have muttered a few words, and An Ruyu signaled Hongxiao, who was waiting beside her, to go out and take a look.

“Your Highness, happy event, great event!” Hongxiao shouted happily, “When I left the city, it seemed like it was leaking, and it was snowing constantly. Unexpectedly, the snow stopped in the blink of an eye. Manager Li said we will definitely be at the village tonight.”

An Ruyu curled up in the carriage and listened to Hongxiao’s report. She was very happy. The snow stopped. It was so good!

An Ruyu raised her hand and lifted a corner of the curtain, and indeed saw that there was no more snow falling outside.

There was no starlight in the dark night sky. Occasionally, a biting night wind rose, as if it could blow the thick ink-like clouds in the sky, and the light of the bright moon shone a little through the layers of clouds.

Looking back on her half of her life, Isn’t this the same? After experiencing complete darkness, there will always be a glimmer of hope.

And she can always turn defeat into victory with the hope that seems trivial to others. It was like this that she climbed from an abandoned child to her current position step by step, and in the future, she would climb higher!

It’s worth her to come to this world.

It was already deep in the night, and there was a light in the carriage like beans. Hongxiao and Zi Ling beside An Ruyu had already snuggled up to sleep. sheHe listened to the howling cold wind outside the carriage, the horse’s hooves squinted and napping.

Because of the warmth in the car, An Ruyu’s body recovered a lot, and even her cough improved significantly.

However, perhaps she has been living day and night these days. When it was really night, she was still in such a warm and comfortable carriage, but unexpectedly she lost her sleepiness.

Just as she tossed and turned and couldn’t fall asleep, Li Longhai’s voice suddenly came from outside the carriage.

“Your Highness.”

His voice was a little misty in the night wind, but An Ruyu could still hear it clearly, so she asked, “What’s the matter?” Her voice sounded a little hoarse and powerless.

Li Longhai outside the carriage seemed a little hesitant, and he hesitated: “It’s Fenghuayuan’s business.” His voice sounded quite heavy, and it made people feel that something bad happened when they heard it.

An Ruyu’s mind seemed to have a bang, and it was blank in an instant. You must know that her baby son is there! She suddenly asked in a heavy tone, “Ahem! They are all their own people. You speak, ahh! Don’t hesitate.”

Li Longhai trembled and said the whole story, “Fenghuayuan has gone away. I guess that someone should have done this matter intentionally.”

Li Longhai’s mood was so complicated that it was difficult to describe it in words. After all, he just asked someone to do the same thing to Bin’an Inn. No, it should be said that it was something even worse.

Why didn’t he know that those who died in Bin’an Inn were just innocent people involved, and he also knew that what they did was a disaster. If there is still a retribution in this world, then it is not surprising that this fire is actually, but this retribution comes too quickly.

An Ruyu didn’t know anything about Li Longhai’s actions, but she didn’t take it seriously.

Through thirty years of immersion, An Ruyu has already understood the rules of the game in this world. She has never left room for work. If she leaves room for these civilians, she may one day cause unnecessary trouble to herself.

The cheap lives of these civilians are not worth mentioning to the privileged class. It can be said that they are no different from livestock such as cattle, horses, mules. Keep it if you want to, and kill it if you want to. The left is just a trivial matter of spending some money to settle it.

As for the concept of equality for everyone advocated in the previous life, An Ruyu has not tried hard. When Shu came to Bin’an Inn in a civilian outfit, her original intention was to solve the problem quietly and then leave quietly.

She has made the best efforts, but things are not going well. Not only did she suffer all this, but she was also troubled by those villains. Since others are unkind, then I am unrighteous. What is wrong with me?

What’s more, Li Longhai does thingsVery beautiful. Even if people suspect that someone is trying to deal with the fire, there is no evidence. Anyway, it is impossible to get Princess Cheng who has been “staying in the hot spring village outside the city”.

She originally thought that Li Longhai had handled everything perfectly. But she never expected that Fenghuayuan would catch fire at the same time. This incident was full of strange aura. She would never believe it would be a coincidence!

Thinking of this, An Ruyu was really anxious. “Cough cough cough! Go to Fenghuayuan! Cough cough cough…”

The group of them rushed to Fenghuayuan at night. When they rushed to Fenghuayuan, the fire had been extinguished by the village households and the guards.

Li Longhai found that although the fire here was not big, it affected a lot, and even Prince Cheng’s house caught fire. Zhao Shiyu was quite frightened, not to mention that the entire Fenghuayuan was in chaos!

Although An Ruyu had a bad expectation in her heart, she still felt it was quite difficult for her to accept when her concerns were cruelly turned into reality.

After all, she had been bumpy all night before she came to the hot spring farm where she was longing for, but found that there was no place to stand here. Not to mention that she had lost countless gorgeous clothes and gorgeous clothes, and her hairpins…

Li Longhai said in a bad mood: “Your Highness will rest in the carriage first, and I will let you clean up the houses of several village houses.”

An Ruyu wanted to curse her, but her voice was discomfortable, and because of her anger, she could hardly make a sound for a moment. She was so angry that she trembled all over, but she didn’t even speak a word and just coughed endlessly.

After finally calming down, she was unable to curse anymore, so she could only sit in the carriage with a slouch.
