I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

Chapter 271 The Stubborn Beggar

Luo Nianxi didn't want to listen to their mutterings, so she reminded them directly,

"Let's go, it's getting late, we should find an inn as soon as possible, we have to travel tomorrow..."

Bai Lan looked again at the place where the beggar had been, and seeing that there was no trace of him there, she breathed a sigh of relief with helplessness and regret, and quickly followed them.

Home Inn is probably the largest inn in Shucheng. It is spacious and bright. There are accommodation upstairs and a restaurant downstairs. It is very convenient to stay here.

After they checked in, Luo Nianxi didn't feel hungry and was not in the mood to eat, so she just lay down.

What she didn't know was that in the corner opposite to Home Inn, a hunched beggar appeared, staring intently at the entrance of Home Inn.

Although his familiar figure was no longer there...

This beggar was the one Bai Lan had just given him steamed buns and some silver. At this moment, his eyes were filled with despair, just like before. His eyes were filled with tears...

The sky gradually darkened and the night in Shucheng was particularly cool.

Because Luo Nianxi had a poor appetite and hadn't eaten well during the past few days since she was away, Bai Lan planned to go out and buy her something delicious.

When she walked out of the inn, she glanced at the sky. Just as she was about to leave, she looked up and saw a beggar huddled in the corner opposite the inn.

When she was about to walk over, Chuntao called her from behind.

"Bai Lan, the lady asked you to come back. She said she is not hungry..."

Bai Lan said "Oh", looked at the beggar's direction again, and turned back to the inn...

next day

Luo Nianxi got up early before dawn.

She slept well that night. It was probably the best sleep she had ever had since they left Chang'an City. But at this moment, she felt a little breathless and she suddenly wanted to go out for some fresh air.

Bai Lan, who was sleeping in the small bed, heard the noise and sat up.

"Miss, you got up so early?"

Along the way, they had originally agreed that the three of them would take turns on night duty, but because Chuntao didn't know Kung Fu, it ended up being Bai Lan and Hong Yan who took turns on night duty. However, Chuntao would always rush to do more work during the day.

Seeing Bai Lan rubbing her eyes and looking at her, she raised her hand to her mouth and said "Shh".

"I'm going to go out for some fresh air. You continue to sleep and don't make any noise..."

"Miss, I'll accompany you..."

"No need, just go by yourself, you can continue to sleep!"

"But it's not daybreak yet, you can't go out alone..."

"I'm just taking a breath at the door. I won't go far. Don't worry about me."

"Miss, let me accompany you!"

"I want to be alone for a while." Her tone was a little impatient, and Bai Lan didn't dare to mention accompanying her again.

"Then please be careful and call me if you need anything."

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, she had to let her go.

Luo Nianxi quietly went downstairs, pushed open the door of the inn, looked up at the gradually brightening sky outside, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The city is very quiet in the early morning, and the sound of insects gives people a sense of quiet mystery.

Just as she was about to sit down, she saw out of the corner of her eye a beggar huddled in the corner opposite the inn.

She couldn't help but sigh. She felt pitiful for herself, but wasn't the beggar who was half-naked and hungry even more pitiful?

She rested her hands on her chin, feeling the quiet and coolness of the night, and her eyes would occasionally glance in the direction of the beggar.

When she was alone and quiet, the figures of Leng Yiyan, Jin Jie, Jin Yu and Jin Yan kept appearing in her mind.

How she wished she could see them at this moment, but she knew it was just her fantasy, an unrealistic fantasy that would never come true.

She didn't know how long it had been, but the sky gradually turned pale, and Bai Lan came out to call her.

"Miss, I have made some porridge for you, please come in and have some!"

She nodded and pointed at the beggar opposite.

"Send him a bowl of porridge!"

"Yes, I'll get the porridge now..."

Bai Lan turned around and went back into the house. She looked at the beggar who was still sleeping again and suddenly laughed sarcastically.

She just laughed at his pitifulness in her heart, but she didn't notice that he slept more soundly than her. Maybe he didn't have anyone to worry about or things that couldn't be solved in his heart!

When Bai Lan brought out the porridge, she took it as if possessed by a ghost.

"Let me do it!"

"Miss, you are a noble person, how can you give porridge to a beggar?"

"Oh! How am I noble? Maybe I am even worse than that beggar..."

In her heart, she really felt that he might not be as free and easy as this beggar.

She carried a bowl of porridge, slowly walked to the beggar, squatted down, and called softly:

"Young man, eat some porridge!"

She put the bowl of porridge on the ground in front of him. Just as she was about to get up and leave, the beggar slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the woman in front of him, he looked a little panicked, and then he lay on the ground, trying to get his face closer to the ground.

His subtle nervous movement made Luo Nianxi very curious. She looked down at him, but he lowered his head even lower.

She suddenly had an unrealistic idea...

She slowly squatted down again, trying to see his face clearly, but found that he seemed to be deliberately avoiding her and didn't dare to look up at her at all.

The more he did this, the more curious she became.

She wanted to see his face clearly, but he turned his head to the side and crawled into the alley...

His actions brought tears to her eyes, and she called out softly,

"Leng Yiyan..."

She couldn't believe that the beggar in front of her was somewhat similar to Leng Yiyan.

The man paused for a moment, then got up from the ground, eager to leave.

"Leng Yiyan, is that you?"

She called out again, and the man began to tremble as he leaned against the wall. Perhaps because of his weak legs, he fell to the ground after taking a few steps...

She ran over quickly, trying to help him, but he dodged her.

"You got the wrong person."

He deliberately lowered his voice, but she still found clues from this deliberate voice.

She tried to raise her hand to move the hair out of his face, but he dodged her.

For some reason, she always felt that the man in front of her looked very similar to Leng Yiyan. Even if she recognized the wrong person, she wanted to see his appearance clearly.

"Can you let me take a look at you? You look a lot like an old friend of mine."

But the beggar shook his head vigorously.

"Girl, you really got the wrong person. I have a wound on my face and I'm afraid I'll scare you."

girl?

She was clearly wearing men's clothes and her hair was styled like a man, so how could he call her a girl?

She reached out her hand without hesitation and pulled the hair off his face. His face was covered with so many scars that it looked very scary.

Perhaps because he was really afraid of scaring her, the beggar tried to lower his head, but she stopped him.

Even though his face could no longer be recognized, she was very familiar with those eyes.

"Husband, is it really you?"

When she said this, her face was already in tears, but the beggar shook his head vigorously.

"Girl, you got the wrong person. I don't recognize you."

His voice was a little hoarse, which sounded both familiar and strange to her.

"Are you really not Leng Yiyan?"
