Yin Qingqi and Cuizhu were still puzzled, Qi Yuan couldn't speak clearly, in their opinion, Qi Yuan only said half a sentence.

Qi Yuan didn't care about the gazes of these two people, right now they were all standing outside the palace, people were coming and going, so he naturally couldn't say anything.

"Let's go back first." If you have anything to say, go back to the East Palace.

Qi Yuan didn't wait for the reaction of the remaining two, he turned around and left first.

When Yin Qingqi and Cuizhu heard this, they had no choice but to follow behind Qi Yuan honestly.

The three of them returned to the main hall one after the other.

Cuizhu didn't have the same reaction as when she came back from the Qianxin Hall just now, and she followed Yin Qingqi step by step, as if this was her only lifeline.

As soon as he entered the door of the main hall, Qi Yuan returned to his usual calm appearance, picked up a cup of tea from the table casually, and took a sip.

It seems that they just went to act in a play. Now that the play is over, he will return to his normal life and return to his former appearance.

Yin Qingqi also knows Qi Yuan, she knows that Qi Yuan is now this virtuous, since he can drink tea so easily, it means that he will definitely have a way.

She pulled Cuizhu to find a chair and sit down.

Cuizhu was still not at ease, the two people in front of her were silent, but she couldn't sit still.

But Cuizhu didn't dare to say anything, his eyes were cringe.

After Qi Yuan finished drinking that cup of tea, he coughed twice, cleared his throat, and prepared to get down to business.

"There is indeed a way, but you must cooperate, by the way, of course, there is also the seventh."

Qi Yuan didn't go around the bend anymore, and said directly to Cuizhu.

Cuizhu didn't understand what Qi Yuan meant.

It's inevitable to have something to do with yourself. After all, this was originally her business, but it involved the seventh elder brother...

Cuizhu lost his mind for a moment.

"You have to say if you're willing to cooperate." Qi Yuan smiled, full of deep meaning.

This is not only for the smooth implementation of his plan, but also to take the opportunity to inquire about the situation on Cuizhu's side for the seventh brother.

Don't let this girl be scared away now, and in the end, only Lao Qi is left alone and can't let go.

What's more, if Cuizhu is unwilling, he said his plan in advance, who knows if anything else will happen.

accidentally leaked the news, and he couldn't eat the entire East Palace.

Cuizhu was seriously thinking about Qi Yuan's question.

Would you like to? She must have wanted to, in fact, she has not changed her mind from beginning to end.

It's just that I feel too tired in the middle.

The ending between her and the seventh elder brother shouldn't be like this, at least it's not a result.

Focusing on the death of one person is too cruel.

As soon as he thought of the seventh elder brother, Cuizhu's heart hung again.

She doesn't care about her life and death, but what about the Seventh Elder Brother?

He doesn't know what to do now.

Cuizhu didn't know what it was like to be grounded, she thought she would run out of food.

Thinking about it, I was distracted.

"So reluctant?" Cuizhu only heard Qi Yuan frown and asked, "That's not easy." ”

Cuizhu immediately came back to her senses, and just now Qi Yuan asked her if she was willing to cooperate.

"I do, I do!" Cuizhu nodded immediately, for fear that Qi Yuan would refuse her if she said it any later.

She couldn't wait any longer.

Qi Yuan smiled reassuringly, this would be easy.

"In the beginning, you're still going to die." Cuizhu only heard Qi Yuan say something in a cold tone.

But then the words made her heart gradually warm.

Qi Yuan glanced at Yin Qingqi, she seemed to be listening seriously, so she continued.

Since the emperor has already given the order, Cuizhu is now equivalent to killing without mercy.

So it's impossible to stop or rob people halfway, and the only way is to follow the plan.

According to the emperor's order, Cuizhu should still be killed.

"In that case, do you still need to say it?" Yin Qingqi couldn't listen to it, why was Qi Yuan's nonsense so much today.

Qi Yuan glanced at Yin Qingqi, ignoring her complaints.

"However, the person who wants to kill is not you, but Cuizhu."

At this time, Yin Qingqi and Cuizhu were stunned.

Qi Yuan's words were said to Cuizhu, she was obviously Cuizhu, why wasn't she the one she wanted to kill?

Cuizhu couldn't figure it out, what did this mean?

Qi Yuan didn't explain, looking at Cuizhu and couldn't react in confusion.

However, Yin Qingqi is also a person who has experienced big scenes, and she knows Qi Yuan better, and it didn't take long for her to know what Qi Yuan was talking about.

"So, you mean, find someone to replace Cuizhu?" Yin Qingqi frowned.

If that's the case, she can't tell if it's good or bad.

First of all, they had to quickly find a girl who looked like Cuizhu.

Time was already tight, and with such an unattainable requirement.

Cuizhu sighed.

She listened to Yin Qingqi's words and understood what the prince meant.

Find someone to replace her.

But......

"That's not good." Cuizhu changed the opening.

She knows her identity, even if she is lucky enough to be taken by an elder brother now, it can't change her identity as a maid.

Is it worth it now to find someone to die in her place?

After all, other people's lives are also fate.

Since Cuizhu thought of this, Yin Qingqi naturally would not ignore it.

When she heard Cuizhu's question, she also looked at Qi Yuan worriedly.

"It's not good." Qi Yuan frowned under the gaze of the two of them, "However, there is no other way." ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of finding someone." Qi Yuan looked at the expressions of the two people and did not ease at all, and opened his mouth to add.

But it doesn't seem to have much effect.

The two girls were still worried.

"If you want to live, if you want to be with Lao Qi, this is the only way." Qi Yuan couldn't help but remind Cuizhu.

"Isn't there any other way?" Yin Qingqi still asked Qi Yuan thoughtfully.

It's good that Cuizhu can survive, but if it's in exchange for another person's life.

I'm afraid that even if Cuizhu lives, she will have to live in fear and guilt in the future.

Carrying a human life, just like her.

"Yes, yes." Qi Yuan hesitated to speak.

He seemed to have an answer in his heart, and another method was already on his lips, but Qi Yuan was silent for a while.

"No more. I was wrong. Qi Yuan didn't say anything in the end.

Yin Qingqi really didn't expect this. Qi Yuan has always been above board, why is he hesitating now?

Yin Qingqi knew that he had an answer, but Qi Yuan didn't say it, and she couldn't do anything.

"This matter is settled, and it is best if you are willing to cooperate. I'll take care of the rest. Qi Yuan still didn't seem to be at ease, so he repeated it again.

This is indeed not a simple matter, or rather, in fact, it is not troublesome for him, the main thing is the cooperation of the whole process.

"I'll tell you what you should do in the next few days, and you can do as I say."

Cuizhu listened to Qi Yuan's words, the matter had come to this, she could only nod.

"By the way, the premise of all this is that you can't tell Lao Qi yet." Qi Yuan added.

Although Cuizhu still had doubts in her heart, she still nodded with puzzlement.
