She had already resigned herself to her fate, she had indeed somehow teleported to this strange place. Du Yuqing was now seeking every opportunity to return to her own time and space.

Of course, only by being alive would it be possible to go back.

Du Xue didn't seem to be hostile. She started with him, so she understood everything about this place. Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy means you will be victorious.

Du Yuqing didn't want to waste her time and opportunities on crying. The education she received was an extremely strong advanced education that allowed her to survival of the fittest.

Thus, he had to survive first. It was best if he could live happily and freely, and find a chance to return.

Deep into the night, the candles under the hibiscus screen gradually dimmed. A ray of light broke through the night, and the east began to turn white.

Du Yuqing was sitting at the table sleepily with her head on her hands.

"Xiaoxiao …" On the opposite side, the well-dressed noble young master looked at her sleepy smile and hesitated to speak.

"Young Marquis, can I stay here?" Du Yuqing forcefully pulled herself together and asked again.

Compared to the palace, this place was definitely safer. Furthermore, there was such a gentle, friendly "childhood sweetheart" who was a "pretty friendly" young master.

"The king will not let you stay here." Young Marquis sighed lightly. He looked at her face with a gentle and compassionate gaze. "Xiaoxiao, you have to wait for me to come back alive. As long as I can come back, I can save you."

Du Yuqing was slightly taken aback, but half of her sleepiness had been swept away by his gaze, which was as gentle as the moonlight.

This Young Marquis seemed to want to die.

That's right, he vaguely said that he would be leaving the imperial city in three days.

"Where are you going?" Du Yuqing blinked and asked.

"I will be back as soon as possible. Three months …" You wait for me for three months. " Du Xue reached out and grabbed her left hand that was supporting her cheek. "During this period of time, no matter what happens, you must live on."

As long as he succeeded, no matter what reward he wanted, he would agree to it.

"Are you going to a dangerous place?" Frowning, Du Yuqing avoided his hand and turned her head to the side.

"Wear this." Du Xue did not answer. She took out an exquisite pendant from the box on the table, stood up, and hung it around Du Yuqing's neck as she said in a low voice, "The civil and military officials of the imperial court, no matter who it is, would always give you some face upon seeing this Golden Jade Gourd. It's not enough to make you look ugly, but … "You have to remember, don't provoke the king. Stay as far away as you can …"

Du Yuqing looked at the delicate gourd in front of her chest that was intertwined with gold and jade. On it was carved the surname 'Du'.

"Three months …" Du Yuqing raised her head to look at Young Marquis's handsome face and grinned. "I will definitely wait for your return. You said you would take me out of the palace."

Du Xue stared at her for a long time before she suddenly reached out and hugged her tightly. She said with her eyes closed, "I will."

Du Yuqing felt a bit uncomfortable as she was hugged by a grown man. Even in an open modern world, she rarely got so close to a man.

"Eh, what are you trying to do?" Du Yuqing asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty sent you here today …" "We can't just return like this …" Du Xue took a deep breath, suppressing the waves in her heart as she spoke softly.

Du Yuqing looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked again, "What do you want to do?"

Du Xue looked at her innocent eyes and gritted her teeth.

"Don't you want to …" Although she had just transmigrated, at this moment, Du Yuqing suddenly understood what he meant. With a pale face, she said, "Young Marquis, you want to …"

Du Yuqing shuddered at the thought of the pitiful gazes that the maids sent her as she left the desolate palace. No, no, no, she didn't want to be sent back into the wolf's den as soon as she escaped from the tiger's jaws.

Although she was receiving a modern education, it wasn't easy for her to adjust herself to her best condition in the face of a strange world and a strange man.

"General Wang, since you've been sent here, it means … That's what you mean. " Du Xueqing's face twisted due to her complicated feelings. She said painfully, "Xiaoxiao, the king has an order, I can't disobey it. What's more …" "Moreover, you might have to face more of these kinds of nights in the future …"

Looking at her delicate and handsome face, Du Xue bit her lower lip with her pure white teeth. She clenched her fists tightly, blood slowly seeping out from her lips.

"Don't do that!" Terrified by his pained expression, Du Yuqing couldn't bear to see the traces of blood on his lips. She extended her hand and lightly touched his lips.

Her movements were extremely natural, without any of the reserved air of a lady from a noble family, yet no one could feel that she was being frivolous.

It was as if he was back to his childhood, the two innocent and beautiful childhood.

Du Xue looked at her with a complicated expression as she stretched out her hand to grab her wrist. In the end, she closed her bright eyes and put her hand to her lips. It was as though she was kissing her most precious treasure.

Du Yuqing reflexively wanted to withdraw her hand, but she noticed that tears were flashing faintly in the corners of his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you and couldn't save the general's estate …" Du Xue's voice, which had been steady and slightly trembling, was filled with guilt as she stretched out her arms and held her tightly in her arms.

"Do I look that much like Su Xiaoxiao?" Du Yuqing asked in a low voice once again.

She did not know that General Su's daughter, whose maiden name was Xiaoxiao, was not small.
